have had their way. They have sue
ceeded in legalizing an opium traffic in
this Kingdom. The medical guise
under which the work is to be accom-
plished is transparent fraud. That

to deter men of integrity from support
ing the measure, even il they honestly
thought that square measure OF
license was preferable to prohibition
administered perfunctorily 1t will be
seen that three members of the Cab
met headed by the Premier are in the
minority against the passage of the bill.
To be consistent and to showthat their
opposition was sincere, they must

bill by His Majesty. They know they
are shut up to this alternative, if they
know anything Of their responsibilities.

Grswold house, Eastern Point, for a
little vacation from his daily duties.
The colonel is hale and hearty man
who still performs the duties of
treasurer of the Norwich & Worcester
railroad. an Office which he has held
for fifty years. His upright figure and
brisk, elastic step as he walks our
streets, are the envy Of many younger
men in our midst. Col. Perkins is

THE ADAMS "MURDER"
Probably Without FOundatiOn-He Has
simply Gone West.


Special Telegram 10 the Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, November 26.
The report of the murder of Marshall
Adams seems to be entirely without foun-
dation. There were few suspicious
circumstances from which the rumor
started. Last Saturday he left his home
in Doddridge county remarking that he
was going to this city to have check
cashed. On Monday morning hat was
found and identified as his, with two bullet
holes in it. The story is too incredible to
hardly,,be believed. One thing is certain, he
obtained no money on check ut the bank
in Clarksburg 1t is sal that his family
relations were not pleasant. The general
suppositiOn is that he has taken his de-
parture to parts unknown and that there
has been no foul play whatever.
LATER.-A gentleman from West Union
reports that there is nothing in the Adams
story and says he simply has gone West.

lease also imply a pooling arrange

of the city, and form connection there with
the Southwestern roads other than Gould's.
