CLEANING-UP TIME.-The spri

CLEANING-UP TIME.-The spring
season is approaching, and with it will
come, not only the annual house clean
ing, but the time for the removal of
refuse and rubbish from hooks and
corners about the premises, whittier
they have been thrown during the
winter. All this old rubbish, which
not only disfigures the surrounding,
but which, with the advent of warm
weather, endangers the health, should
be renewed early. There is nothing
like taking time by the forelock in
matters like this. The sooner the
work of cleaning up and renovating is
applied, the better, not only for ap-
pearances, but for health. This win
ter's accumulation of filth and rub
bish, under the warm sun of spring
days, poisons the atmosphere and
generates diseases. Now is the time
also to give attention to the cellar.
removing decayed or decaying vege-
tables, which by the foul gasses spread
disease and death through the house.
A little care at this season and the
free application of lime. may save
doctor bills as well as much suffering.

The labor troubles in the west,
unfortunately, are not over. The
railroad managers not only broke
their word, but endeayored by every
means foul and fair to gain their
point and crush the labor appeal for
justice and relief. Several men have
been killed in the strikes, troops
have been ordered out, and no one
knows how it will end. The labor
element has just cause; it cannot
be gained by fair dealing with dis
honest capital; neither can it be
gained by violence; it must be
reached by legislation and the force
of public opinion. Let labor organ
ize and appeal to friends and an i'm
partial public. Be firm in the right
but fOregO violence.

The Republican Executive Com,
mittee of Martinsburg held a meet
Friday night of last week, and de-
termined to hold convention for
the nomination Of straight Repub.
Iican ticket for Mayor and Council
men, to be voted for at the Corpor-
alton election on the last Monday
in May. This movement is right il
it will give the people the best men
to vote for of both parties. There
is nothing of greater Importance to
the taxpayers of a corporation than
TO have able, honest and public
spirited men in the offices of a town.
from the lowest to the highest.
There is not much pay, and less
thanks attached to these offices, and
for that reason they should be filled
by men with the courage to do their
honest duty. Such men we will adj
yocate and no others.

REPORT OF SECOND WARD SCHOOL

REPORT OF SECOND WARD SCHOOL.
The total number of pupils enrolled
is 291, and the average daily atten-
dance 237. Owing to an unusual
amount of sickness among the schol-
ars, the per cent. of daily attendance,
SO, is not SO large as earlier in the
term. The general condition of the
school, both in progress, in study and
in discipline is good. The advance
ment of pupils in the several grades
is uniform and thorough.

HAGERsTowN, April 1.-The
damage done to the canal By the
late floods in the Potomac have been
very serious, and it will take some
time to make the necessary repairs,
so that the canal may be in proper
condition for the coming season.
About one hundred feet OF Dam
No. 6 has been washed away. There
are two breaks on the Seven-mlle
Level, one of them fifty feet long
and six to eight feet deep; and there
is also a serious washout at the Lit
tie Pool, a short distance east OF
Hancock, and large break in the
Two mile Level, below the four locks
At the Falling Waters bridge there
is break, which is about thirty
feet long, and small break on the
same level some distance below
About fifty feet OF the Six mile Lev
ell, at Dam No. 4, have been very
badly damaged, and heavy breaks
have occurred near Sharpsburg. Inc
level opposite Harper's Ferry has
been very much washed, and the
tow path on the Nine and Eight
mile levels, near Seneca, has been
greatly damaged by the water.
There are also very heavy washes
and breaks at Great Falls, on CABIN
Johns Level, and five miles above
Georgetown.

STATE NEWS.

John G. Morrison, of Braxton
county, had yoke of oxen poisoned,
and both died.
John Adams, of Tucker county,
had $50 COW shot and killed by
some one supposed to be actuated
by spite.
A $3.50 bridge over Freeman's
creek in Lewis county, built last
spring, has tumbled down, the abut-
ments having been washed out.
| Mrs. Martha Turner, who died
recently in Jackson county, Viva,
at the age of ninety, was named af.
ter the wife of Washington. The
Father of his Country visited her
fathers house when she was an in
FAINT, and, kissing her, hoped she
would be as good woman as her
namesake. This was shortly before
his death. in 1899.
The remains of seven Confederate
soldiers, who lost their lives during
the late war in the battle of Bull
town, Braxton county, are buried in
one grave on the battle field at that
place. The earth has worn or wash
ed away so that the bones of some
of the dead soldiers are exposed.
The people of Bulltown and vicinity
have undertaken to enclose and COW
er the grave with cut stone and
erect a marble slab at the head
bearing the name of each soldier, if
the names can be ascertained. Mil
ton Butcher, who belong to Co. B,
Goth Va. Cavalry, assisted in bury
ing them, but he does not remember
the names of any. They were all
West Virginians and he thinks one
of them lived in Marion, one in
Roane and one in Webster county,
but he does not know where the
others lived.

A report has been maliciously Cir
culated that Hon. w. Fl. Fl. Flick
was threatened with sickness and
not likely to serve out his term OF
office,-the more malicious because
it looks like if the intention wasato
lnjure him politically, being repeated
right at his home. The truth is,
Mr.. Flick has been attending to
business straight along, and when
at home here is seen about town
every day. He has been iDdisposed
at times like many others through
colds, or what the doctors might
tenn malaria in the SYSTEM" but
his shadow is not growing any
less, and to all appearances a long
and active life is before him.

For more reasons that one is the
overwhelming Republican victory in
Cincinnati cause for qualification
and rejoicing. Every point has been
surrendered, the Republicans gain
ing control of both branches of the
City Council and of the Board of
Education by majorities ranging
from four thousand to seven thous-
and majority. 1t is not alone that
the Republican party is gaining
strength here as well as all over the
country. In this particular instance
the frauds of the last election-the
outrageous bribery and corruption,
the Justification of returns, the al.
most open purchases of votes in
high places-these are the things
that are being sternl- rebuked by
the people.
