1t is said that Senator Camden
and Junior Brown had great adj
venture with huge salmon last
Thursday ut Rowlesburg. 1t was
feet and 3 inches long and weigh
ed 80 pounds. In trying to get it
into their boat the fish caught
Browns hand in it's mouth and clos
ed it's teeth on him. The boat was
carried down the river q quarter of
mile by the fish, and twice Brown
was pulled overload into the water
and it was with the greatest Difficult
ty that the Senator saved him from
drowning for so strong was the
fish that it easily held him under the
water. At length they foated down
into shallow place where they had
great advantage over the monster
which they stabbed with their peck
ct knives and finally killed 1T died
with its teeth clinched on Browns
hand and they had to pry its mouth
open with cane and liberate him.
His hand was fearfully lacerated,
four of the monsters teeth having
gone entirely through the palm. DR..
Marks attended to dressing the
wound and Brown is now on deck
for another adventure, and as for
Senator Camden, he hardly knows
whether to try it or not. The sal
mon was sent as a present to Hon.
Henry G.. Davis, who, IN turn, sent
it to Presidest Cleveland as gift
from West Va Tucker Pioneer

A MoNrHIY paper published by the

A MONTHLY paper published by the
Young Mems Christian Association,
of Kearneysville. thus speaks of the
August lectures by prominent citizens
of Berkeley and Jefferson counties
'Never in the history of our little vii
lage has there been such an intellectual
treat offered our people as they enjoyed
the past month We have not space to
give the lecturers such notice as they
deserve
DR.. Hopkins in his lecture on Con
science" treated his subject in his we'll
known able interesting way. Hon. Il.
J. Simpson eloquently and ably present
ed to his hearers his subject, woman !;
Her Power and Duties" winning a
high place i'm the esteem of our ladies.
Rev. T. M. Woods, though well-known
to our people, was not greeted with an
audience such as he deserved. Would
that we could publish his address on
1.-THE Noble Manhood" No one could
read his words without being benefited.
Our only regret is that every man can.
not have the benefit of them. To parent
and youth, Judge G. j. Faulkner pre-
sented his subject "The Responsibility
of Youth" in a most forcible manner,
showing the great responsibility resting
on both. Each of the lecturers exceed
ed all expectations. May their words
have been sown in good ground to bring
forth abundant fruit for eternity"

BLArSr i CANn1nATE-An Elmira

BLAINE A CANDIDATE.--An Elmira
(N.Y.) dispatch says Luther Cald-
well, of that city, veteran in poll
tics and widely known as temper
ance Republican, has just returned
from visit to New England. Dur
ing his sojourn in the East lie met
James G. Blaine, who is a distant
relative ofthe Caldwells. Mr.. Blaine
talked freely with Mr.. Caldwell up
on national politics, and in speaking
of the late presidential campaign re-
ferred to his visit to Elmira n. Y, a
few days before Cleveland Is election.
1t will be remembered that upon this
occasion Mr.. Blaine was nearly suf-
ficated by escaping gas in his apart
ments at the residence of j. ID. Slice.
Abiding to this fact, Colonel Cald-
well made the remark; "Mr Blaine,
| IL you had taken little more ofthat
gas in Elmira the result in New
York State would have been differ
ent, and you would now be Presi.
dent of the United States"
To this Mr.. Blaine quietly replied
by asking Do you think then, that
my visit to New York was mistaken
Colonel Caldwell earnestly re-
piled II do indeed, Mr.. Blaine--a
serious mistake. But | trust that
the year 1888 will have corrected
those mistakes when you are again
the popular candidate of the great
republican party"
In acknowledgement of this point
ed prophecy, Mr.. Blaine stepped
back, then deliberately and graceful
ly lifted his hat, and in an impress
i've manner bowed courteously. In
the conversation that followed Mr..
Blaine showed in every way that he
expected and was willing to be the
candidate of the republican party in
1888.

said to be unworthy of confidence.
Constructors of the great arteries of
trade and commerce, they are to be
known as foul blisters on the body
polite and are to be denounced by
every common scavanger, who never
used moment of time, cent of
money, or an instant ofthought for
public veal Such is the worth eff
success, to energetic men in public
life. 1t is sickening cup to press to
the lips of the ambitious and ener-
getic youths of this great Republic,
for if correct in principle, then the
worth of personal success is as
naught by the side of the empty
nothingness of the miserable, carping
drone.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Sept. 22.-The
most severe hail storm ever known
in the history of this city visited
here this evening. Hail stones ruined
all the tin, iron and slate roofs in the
city, while over 10000 light of glass
were broken at the Oliver pillow works
and 10000 in the Studebaker wagon
works. Hardly factory, business
house or residence escaped damage.
The divers estimate the damage to
their works at $4,000. The total
damage in the city will probably
reach 100000. Several people were
injured; none seriously.

Maine reports the very newest
thing in the whisky smuggling line
A man has been arrested for carrying
into the state q coffin full of whisky
bottles for distribution among the
thirsty residents of that Prohibition
State. We have heard that whisky is
called ''cofin vanish" in some portion
of the wild West, but that liquor in
Maine seems to have the best title to
the designation. There is something
suggestive in the case which contained
this liquor, of what an indulgence in
the whisky will bring the drinker to /;
but that will not deter the Maine
topers from guzzling it. BY the way
has there been any extraordinary de-
mand for collins in Iowa since the
prohibition law went into force?-

Our republican and democratic
friends Of the aspirant class, anxious
for distinction and honor by way OF
nomination and election, if possible,
viii have a hard road to travel this
campaign There are all the pleasant
nicetics surrounding the presentrace,
with more abundance than usual.
The Catechism is very full, and the
man who can straddle, evade, affirm
and deny so as to cater to the vari-
Gus apostles of all the issues, must
be either very great man, or very
great i1pave-most likely the latter.
The first question is, not as to pro-
lection or free trade, but are yoi::
greenbacker? If not, then the great
standing army, always heard OF, but
never counted, of greenbackers will
not vote for you. A fearful dilemma.
Next is; are you a Knight of Labor?
a class organization that excludes
the lawyer, rum seller, banker and
gambler, the four henious and dis
reputable professions OF life--while
the average Knight of Labor will
beat them all if he can. If not, then
you are again to be downed as I'M
worthy. Next is; are you q prohi.
bitionist? If not, no matter how
much Jamaica ginger and red pepper
tea or cider you drink behind the
door-you are doomed. The next
is, and this belongs to the democrats |
exclusively are you Camden or anti |
Camden, and now you must straddle
for yea or nay puts the other fellow
to fighting you. Then comes the
question rs to assessment, road laws,
taxes, schools and so on, until the
man without a record or without Il
cross is supposed to have been found,
who viii please every person, and |
the result is, the man without n
record is BOBBY, a dough face, a
nonentity, whom independent, manly
men look upon with laughter, scorn
and derision. The man who caters
to his prejudices and not to fair
judgment, is slave. He who takes
party first and his preferences second
is an idiot, and he who joins any or
ganization or conspiracy where he
must ship his independent manhood,
is shackled, fettered being, who
obeys his boss and not his free
thought and untrammeled will. SO
it goes. The INDEPENDENT and its
editors, and we hope its readers will
continue independent.

THE ROAD Ia w.

Elsewhere will be found notice
published by authority of the Coun-
ty Court, submitting to the voters of
Berkeley County, for ratification or
rejection, new road law. What
are the provisions of the proposed
road law, we suppose, must be left
to the imagination of the voter. 1t
is surely pity that the taxpayer
cannot obtain sufficient information
upon which to act properly. We
note in all of the Jefferson county
papers full publication of the elec-
ton, also of the official acts of the
County Court and of Deeds and
Deeds Of rtrust, admitted to record.
Such publications ere proper and
right and show that the officials de
sire the people to be kept well-in-
formed upon local legislation and
their own business affairs. The peo-
pie are entitled to knowledge of eve
ry official act anil we assert they are
willing to pay necessary expenses
therefor.

THE WORTH OF SUCCESS.

In this Panhandle, if not in other
sections Of the State, there is pend
ing personal question in politics,
: by which, a measure of the worth of
success, through individual effort
can be obtained. 1t is this, Messrs.
J. n. Camden and III. G. Davis,
through hard work, anxious mental
toll and persevering application have
become rich. In so doing, they have
largely contributed to the material
development Of West Virginia. They
have cleared water courses, opened
and worked coal mines, bored oil
wells, run refneries, constructed
railroads, opened up mountain tops,
and sides, and valleys, with miles
and miles Of timber for merchantable
and mechanical use. Such is their
record. and out of their labor has
come to them financial success.
Strange to say, with all these vast
industries, requiring the application
Of the old Wing doctrine of protec-
tion, they are both democrats. But
now as to the worth of their success.
Their own party are using it to crush
them Their achievements are the
very weapons that the democratic
politicians are using for their destruc-
ton. Their ability to plan and to
execute, and to succeed, is to be the
reason for their political downfall.
The largest Of employers, they are
called monopolists. Developers ofthe
natural wealth OF tue State they are
