THE "HooDooED" CLAIM.

A Piece of Mining Property that Brlnes
lad Luck for Those Who Work 1t.
There is a superstition prevailing
among a number of the miners in that
locality that certain claim in Iowa
gulch is an unlucky one. It got
started in some way that a man,
who worked in that claim was
sure to meet with bad luck of some
kind. He would either get blown up
by giant powder, or fall down ladder,
or the mine would cave in on him, or
some other equally undesirable occur
renee would take place. By degrees
the belief became so prevalent that
property was considered hoodooed,"
to use slang expression. The RESULT is
that nobody will work it at all, and the
owners are at loss to know what to do
for men.
A Herald reporter having heard of
the superstition, for. of course, it is
nothing more or less than supersti-
ton, accosted an old miner last night
and asked him whether he was one of
those who believed the stories that were
being circulated.
''Well, to tell the truth, l must con-
fess do believe some of them, strange
as it may, seem to you"
"What foundation have you for your
belief ?" asked the reporter.
The old miner took fresh chew of
stobacco and said: 'sThe fact that 80
many who have worked it have had bad
luck of some kind or other makes me
think there is something in it. I know
one man who had not been at work in
that internal hole more than two DAYS
before he was taken down with pneu-
monia, and he came very near dying.
Another went to work there and his
cabin was robbed before week. A
third one tried it, and he fell from a lad
der and came near being killed; that
satisfied him and he quit. Besides these
there have been several other mishaps
to men working the claim, and they fol-
lowed each other in such close sue
cession and with such unvarying GER
tainty that the men at last came to the
conclusion that there was bad luck in
some way connected with the property. !"
,'1s the claim worth anything?' asked
the reporter.
Yes, ifsitwas developed l think it
would turn out to be good property
but |, for one, would not work in it ii il
was given to me. y
"Might it not be job put up by some
one who wants to buy it?'' asked the
news hunter.
II don't know about that replied
the miner, ''but I don't see how SO
many of the men could get to believe it
if there wasn't something in it. No,
sir, it's no job, that claim has bad luck
for any man that works it: You may
call it superstition or anything You like,
but 1 don't go. to work in it,
Seeing there was no chance to shake
the old miners belief that there was
some supernatural agency that had cast
= spell of bad luck over the ill-fated
property, the reporter left him firm in
his faitk - eadville Herald.

A JSHA MEFUL CAMPAIGN
CANA RID.

In our local column this morning we
give some Republican charges assailing
the management of the W. L. Asylum
under Democratic auspices, and the dis
proof of them. We have never seen a
more deplorable exhibition OF the effect of
political malice. Here, to be used as a
campaign document, a writer, presumably
man Of the ordinary feelings Of humani-
ty, allows himself to prepare paper drag
ging before the public the names of insane
patients, some of them long since
dead, connected with the most worthy
families in our community. How
painful to the families of the
dead and to those Of the living this must
be, any one of the least sensibility must
understand. 1t is fit reward to the
writer of the letter in the Whiq that every
statement he makes is proved false by
the record of the Asylum, and by the
record kept by the Coalition physicians
themselves. 1t was a great misfortune that
the charitable institutions of the State
should have been mixed up in the chang
ing fortunes of politics atall, but if it is
to give rise to a new brutality in Virgin
ia, that of dragging the names of patients
dead and living into political canvass, it
may well be regarded as worse thana mis-
fortune-a calamity. No political party
can be advanced by such revolving meth

There is nothing more Important In a
campaign than what are called neighbor-
hood clubs, and we should like to see a
number of Democratic clubs in Augusta.
We, nor our readers. have yet forgotten
the splendid clubs Of this description that
Augusta organized in 1888, when the State
was enffanchised from Malone rule, nor
the long line of them that filed into
Staunton on the night the glorious
victory of that year was celebrated, as
victory was never celebrated before. They
were effective from the mode Of their or
ganiZation. Nearly every man in club
was acquainted with the other members,
and there was conrad eship about the
organizations that increased their effec.
tive work many fold. The Democratic
nominations are now month old; ia
few days the primaries fer nominating
members of the legislature will be over,
and directly they are over we should like
to see the organization beginning. Geng-
rally they are little delayed by the hesi-
fancy OF any one man to take hold, but
we trust nc time will ne lost this campaign
through that. Forwardness in the Dem.
ocratic party is a virtue, and we trust it is
one that Will not grow rusty from want of
use. Any active member of any old club
is the man to start, organize and put in
motion new enc.

that his "Gne oratorical powers" were

W. w. Coles New Colossal Shows. c1r-
Gus, menagerie. ETC., had two enormous
houses yesterday. Mr.. Cole has evident
ly been at work during the winter, and
his circus is far better than it ever was
before. In many respects it is better than
any OTTER circus ever seen here. The day
was fine, and the street parade was wit
messed by thousands of people. 1t was a
gorgeous pageant, the ira ppings being
new and bright, and the procession was
very long. The costumes of the riders
and the beauty of the horses called forth
great admiration.
In the afternoon the attendance was
very large, and at night it was larger. 1t
it estimated that 1900 or $4,000 people
were al the two exhibitions. The huge
tents were crowded with objects of inter
est. The menagerle is especially large
and is filled with rare animals that are
we'll kept and are particularly fine specl-
mems. Among the curlOsities, the cOllec-
ton of Mexican antiquities, idols, jewels,
plants, agricultural implements, etc, was
an object or particular interest. The CIR
Gus proper contained many novelties. The
troupe Of aerial bicycle riders gave a most
daring performance. A man stood on his
head upon a bicycle while it moved along
an elevated wire. The Russian roller
skaters, the comic skaters, the see-saw
ponies and the dancing giraffe all am used
the people. The troupe Of trained ele-
plants were very good. The horses were
unusually handsome and we'll kept. The

were bought in Kentucky were superb
