Forced to See Him Die.

Early OH Friday morning last in
Chicago David Scott Atkinson, laborn G
under jealous suspicion of his wife and
melancholy from business reverses,
committed suicide by swallowing three
doses of morphine. He lay on the bed
beside his wife and told her he was go
ing to kill himself and to punish her he
would force her to lay there and see
him die. He had locked the door and,
keeping the key in his grasp, he threat
ened to kill her unless she remained
quiet. He resisted all her pleadings to
allow her to 60 and then swallowed the
morphine in separate doses until all he
had was gone. She was thus compelled
to remain quiet, witnessing the opera
ton of the fatal drug, until he became
unconscious. She then secured the
key, unlocked the door and rushed into
the hall screaming for help. The in
mates Of the house entered the room,
the unconscious man breathing in inter-
walls, but was dead before medical aid
could be summoned. at all seemed
like pleasant dream to him, said his
wife afterward, "but it was horrible
nightmare to Tie. God knows | never

DeviIish Work ofRed Men.

Ritchie county once more comes to
the front with one of the most diaboli.
cal outrages ever perpeirated within the
borders of this State. AS on other oc-
casions of this nature, the perpetrators
of the crime are what are known as
Red Men, that organization of outlaws
which for half dozen years has flour
ished i'm this State, despite all the at
tempts of the authorities to stamp it
out. The victims this time are Mr.. and
Mrs. George Keck, who live oil >Goss
Run, in Richie. One night last week
they were aroused by the shouts of a
mob which had surrounded their house
and on the door being opened the Red
Men took possession. tied Mr.. Keck and
his wife, took them into the woods near
by, roped them to trees and beat them
in the most brutal manner with hickory
withes. The fiends then burned the
dwelling and its contents to the ground
and departed. After daylight Mr.. Keck
succeeded in releasing himself, and
after removing his bleeding and faint
Ing wife to place of safety. swore out
warrants for such of the mob as he had
been able to recognize, and twelve of
them have been arrested and placed in

A thirsty individual entered one of
our grocery stores yesterday morning
and asked for Il can of brandy peaches.
The storekeeper, being in humorous
mood, stated to the stranger that owing
to the prohibition law in Kanawha
county he would be compelled to pour
off the brandy before he could sell the
peaches. The stranger uttered cuss
word with his remark that peaches were
no good without brandy, and left the
store i'm n Charleston Star.

A COUPLE Of weeks ago we referred to
the rejection by the Senate Of the NOM
ination of Hon. Chas. w. Button to be
postmaster at Lynchburg, Va, and pub
lished some extracts, Of which he was
said to be the author, personally abusive
of number Of Senators. 1t was alleged
that these articles were the cause Of his
rejection by the Senate. A well-known
gentleman of Lyncnburg has written
to friend here, stating that Mr.. Button
was much hurt at the publication Of
these articles, and that they did him
great injustice. The writer says:
"The REGISTER speaks of Mr.. Buttons
cheek in asking the Senate to confirm
him after he had said such things reflect
ing so Unexpectedly upon certain Sem
ators. Malone attributed these objec-
tionable articles TO Mr.. Button, know
ing he was not responsible for them,
using them to prejudice and Gefsat his
nomination. All Of them-every one
appeared in the Vngin,an after Mr.. But
ton had sold it, and were written by
Col. Marye, the present editor. Mr..
Button knew nothing of them, and had
no more to do with them, or the paper
in any way, than have. do not pro-
pose to be Mr.. Buttons champion, but
he is gentleman and Christian, and
whilst he may sometimes-or rather did
when he was an editor-dip his pen in
gall, he never did in filth, and l am GER
tain nobody condemned Col. Marye's
articles more than he did,"
We are certainly very sorry that we
should have done Mr.. Button any in
justice, and we assure him that 1t was
nnintentional. We have not the pleas
ure Of an acquaintance with him, but
his friends In this county-his former
home--all speak Of him in the highest
terms as gentleman Of culture and re-
5incment.

SOME time ago State Superintendent of
Schools B. S. Morgan wrote to County
Superintendent John Hess to name the
time and place for holding the Teachers
Institute for the county, and also to
suggest suitable person to conduct the
institute. Mr.. Hess took the trouble to
personally inquire of the teachers who
their choice for a conductor was and
they were unanimously in favor Of
Prof. McMurran, Of this place. He
wrote to Mr.. Morgan, asking that Prof.
McMurran be appointed, and stating also
that Shepherdstown had certain advan-
tages as the place for holding the insti-
tute. A reply was received from Mr..
Morgan, who said that the recommend
ations did not suit him, and that he APP
pointed Charlestown the place, August
18th as the time, and =. Z. Rodgers, of
Morgantown, as the conductor of the
institute. Why it was that Mr.. Morgan
so peremptorily refused the request of
the teachers that Prof. McMurran be
appointed, no one seems to know.
