The republican national committee
finds itself in somewhat of a predica-
lnent, and some of the more tender
and conscientious members fear that
they may have to go out OF business
altogether. There is a section of the
civil service bill passed last year
which some one has called attention
to. to the effect that, all contributions
or assessments for political purpose.
are absolutely forbidden to be receiv-
ed or given by any member OF con-
gress or government employe. under
penalty of $4,000 fine and three years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The congressional committee is COM
posed of thirty members Of congress,
and they are ali under the ban. A
strict Interpretation of the Esw would
necessitate the resignation by mem-
bers of the committee eitherfrom me-
bershfp on the committee,or of the

Last Saturday occurred the FIRST
shooting ARRAY in West Onion for
nearly five years. The facts, rs We
have learned them arc as follows i:
One n. Bank, commonly known rs
Moses, peddler with whom most OF
our citizens are familiar, went to tho
house OF Jay Wetheibee last Friday
morning and sold his wife pair OF
stockings. She mot having the money
to pay for them, told him 10 call again
on Saturday. This he did, but the
husband was again absent. He went
again to the house In the afternoon.
demanding either his money or the
stockings. He was told that he could
have neither. and ut this point, Jay
stepped out from behind curtain
and cxclainling" Get out you" com
menced firing upon him. The ped.
dlar made hasty exit, but was fol.
lowed as far rs Thompson's livery
stable, aud four shots fired ut him,
the last one taking effect in the lef,
hip and ranging downward. This i
the history OF the affair as received
from the lips OF Moses, but Of cours.
there Is another side. Jays story is
as follows: The peddlar had been ]
times at his house, and each time in
suited his wife. On Saturday after,
noon he concealed himself behind u
curtain in the room and lay in wait
for Moses. Upon his'arrival he listen.
