were closed until after the obsequies.
Mr.. Jared L. Wamsley is now confined
to his bed By q severe spell Of sickness.
Mr.. B. L. Butcher, of Wheeling, is visit
ing relatives in this county and attending
to legal business.
Moving SCENE to be rather the orIer OF

A telegram to Mr.. Michael Ward Mon
day night stated that his son Thomas
Ward a former typo on the Randolph En-
terprise, and lately on the Clsrksburg Tel
egram, had died suddenly at WalsiDghsm,
Colorado, to which place he went little over
year ego.
A young man riding in from the country
q few days ago had the misfortune to Grip.
pie his horse BY the bridge over which he
was riding giving away, and had to have
the horse shot to put it out OF Its misery.
he then determined to sue the county for
damages for 800, and, ike great many
other smart Alecks, determined to bring
the suit himsslf ignoring the legal trater-
nifty entirely. He had about fifteen wit,
nesses summoned and when the case was
called by Squire Dewitt it was found that
he had brought the suit against Captain
Jacob s. Wsmslsy, who is president OF the
County Court, instead of against the conn,
ty. Of course Justice Dewitt gave q Judg
ment against the young man for the costs,
which, no doubt, made him sadder but a
wiser Young man.

CoxGREssNES now in Washington are
discussing the necessity for q change in

House calendars S97 bills, which were dis
tributed as follows: Committee Of the

OF the total 997 bills which persisted By
the dissolution of Congress T66 were con-
sidersd by the committees and reported
during the FIRST session. The 260 bills on

Senate, ls9 having been passed and sent
to the House during the FIRST session. Dur

reach the Speakers table to dispose Of the

Men Who Must Drink to Live.

Chicago Herald.
The fate of Dion, the billiard player, fur
nishes another example of the danger
which attends sudden and radical changes
of habit late In life. Men cannot violate
the laws of health with impunity tor many
wears and then expect to catch up by
merely abstaining from their accustomed
stimulsnts. Under such circumstances
temperance is likely to be death, whereas
ifthe departure had been taken earlier 1t
might have been less dangerous. Dion
now goes to an insane asylum because the
revolution that he has made in his habits
has unsettled his mind. Other men who
might be named, who have died during the
past year with great suddenness, were
brought low by an attempt to forego the
drinking habit when such change in the
highest degree perilous. Such cases do
not, as some may fscetiously aver, argue
the unwisdom of men attempting to re-
lieve themselves from the drinking habit,
but they do illustrate Enthusiastically the
folly of the idea thar after lifetime of ex'
cess the only thing that is needed is to
stop. Moderation early in life entails no
such consequences. The man who lives
to drink during the best part of his life
will drink to live at its latter end.

threatened the life of District Attorney
Martin.
No." she replied, "but said he ought TO
be killed for keeping me in prison so long
without trial"

community if you did die" replied Mrs.
Dudley.

out that the announcement in majori-

probability that they would be invited to

sent out every year. The committee
