Hebbville, I'd District.-We regret to have
to chronicle the sad demise of Mr.. Miller, high.
ly respected citizen of Powhatan. He had been
engaged in store keeping, having purchased the
stand owned by the late William Bennett, and or
Saturday last went to the city to make few
necessary purchases. On his return in the after
noon he paid his toll to Mr.. Brashaw, gate-keepe,
on the Franklin road, and appeared to be all right
He was again seen near the iron bridge by Mr.
Franklin Kolb, and also by Mr.. Peter Clay, and
nothing wrong was observed. When the wagon
reached Mr.. Wallis's shop, at Franklintown, the
position in which Mr.. Miller was lying in the
wagon, his head across the front board, attracted
the attention of Mr.. Fred. Wallis and Mr.. Mouthe
who soon discovered that he was dead. The body
was taken to his late home and on Sunday morn.
ing coroners jury was empanneled by Squire
Steel, in the Powhatan mill Office, and after max.
ing thorough investigation decided that Mr.
Miller "died from natural causes" The funeral
took place from his late residence on Tuesday
morning, Rev. Page Milburn officiating. The in
terment was made at Baltimore Cemetery. The
family, consisting of wife and two grown daugh-
ters were terribly shocked. The deceased was
highly esteemed by large circle of friends, who
deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.
Mrs. Schamp, living near Randalstown, had
four large fat hogs for killing three of which at
tackled the fourth, and before they could be sepa'
rated killed it. This is strange freak. Why
the three took dislike to the one and banded to-
gether to kill it certainly is paradox in hogologs
without parallel.
The entertainment that Prof. Hawks was to give
the citizens of White Grounds was terrible dis
appointment, as he, after promising "to be on
hand rain or shine," failed to put in his appear
ance. More anon on this point.

Keyser ssCranks.''

II ever a town was afflicted with
real "cranks," surely Keyser has
'em, and has 'em bad.
Last spring the good people OF
Keyser elected what is known n
these days as "non-partisan"
Temnerance Council. Said Coun-
oil refused to grant license. At a
recent meeting said Council recon
s;dered the license question, and
again refused license by one major
ity.and to cli1ach the ching resolved,
unanimously that they would not
reconsider again.
On the very next evening, this
same Council met and granted Ii
cense to every lawless applicant
that wanted to open out den of
iniquity in the town.
Surely here is a Council OF
"Cranks," if ever there was one.

The Herald ON the Republican
Conference.
1t Wants no "GIihering Generalsties,'
"Decsitful on their Face"

Lest our Republican friends who
meet in this city to-day to save
the party" may not all take the
Wellsburg Herald, we give them
below the benefit of it's advice,
after a careful diagnosis of the case.
Speaking of the Conference, the
Herald says:
"It would not be at all surprising
if che Of the most prominent topics
that will come up for discussion
will be that of Prohibition, or
rather that of how the Republican
party had better do in view of the
heavy sentiment among the rank
and file in favor of Prohibition.
The times have pretty evidently
come to such pass that the matter
can no longer be ignored in the
councils of the Republican party,
and it would be safer to ignore it
altogether than to undertake to be-
little it by half way declarations
and glittering generalities not
intended to be fulfilled and deceit
full on their face. This course of
procedure must not be again re-
peated. 4 x The time has come for
the Republican party to make its
choice; and in our opinion it is
gone in West Virginia if it fails at
this conference to declare manfully
and unequivocally in favor of the
submission of the Prohibition
amendment. If it fails to do it,
look out then for the first party"
We especially commend the
above language OF this stalwart Re-
publican organ, to the Journal,
Weston Republican, and other party
spokesman that insist on twisting
the history of the party into
declaration in favor of submission
in the Convention of '84.
The Republican party of West
Virginia has never yet by word or
deed expressed desire, not even a
willingness, that the people should
have chance to get at the saloon
with their ballots. Will it SO de-
clare to-day? Will it join in the
cry and demand,
THE SALOON MUST GO?

The FREEMAN
For a Dollar.
NOW'S THE TIME 10 PUSHs
THINGS.

Our special offer, as already an
nounced, is to send THE FREEMAN,
at rate of One Dollar Year to alli
new subscribers secured between
now and November next.
The FREEMAN has no other busi-
ness or purpose than to rencs- lie
best possible service in the cause
of Prohibition to the largest pos
sible constituency.
If it can materially enlarge Its
constituency, it can come and con-
tinue to come at one dollar. 1t is
for our friends to say whether its
subscription lists shall be doubled
or trebled. If they SO decide. the
matter is settled.
If Prohibition sentiment Ia de-
veloped and crystalized into law, 1t
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers.
To get these papers into fami.
lies, requires the active work OF
friends in every neighborhood.
We earnestly ask all such friends
to whom this message comes, to
start at once the work of getting

Old Party Distemper.
Prohibition Posters Torn Do,pn in
Richie County.

The Prohibition movement in
Richie is meeting with a great
deal of antagonism. The posters
announcing the convention, dis
played in different parts of the
county, have mostly been torn
down by enemies of the movement.
This conduct is not at all to the
credit of the opponents of the new
party, and if persisted in will only
strengthen what they seek to
destroy.-Ritchie Reuiew.
1t seems that there are always
some people in community who
have not brains enough to compre-
bend the fact that intolerance and
persecution always strengthen a
good cause. 1t draws the attention
of the public to that which might
otherwise go unheeded, disgusts
respectable members of organi-
cations which indulge in it, and
wins sympathy for a cause where,
otherwise, it could not be expected /;
for the great majority, however
wrong their opinion of cause
may be, are always in favor OF
giving its advocates fair play.
Prohibitionists will GO right on
holding conventions and putting
up posters, just as if these petty
prosecutions had not taken place ;
but if the villains continue their
lawless depredations, they may
have an opportunity to explain to
the courts just where they get their
authority for their vicious conduct.

The genial and attractive Prof. War.
rem, superintendent of the electric light
works in this city, was the innocent
cause Of a great grief last night. He
went to st. Paul's Church in faultless
attire to attend amarriage ceremony and
seated himself innocently in prominent
seat with the other invited guests. He
was soon Approached by the usher and
requested to give his name. He said it
was Warren, and the usher disappeared
only to return for his initials, which were
given as ]. W., and again the gentle.
manly usher disappeared only to reap.
pear and demand his full name, James
William Warren. This was perfectly
satisfactory, and the cultured rector in
his usual graceful manner appeared and
requested James VIM. Warren to pro-
duce the bride, a contract which he could
not perform and utterly failed to deliver
the goods. The real groom and bride
soon appeared and relieved the lightning
maker from the necessity OF producing a
bride at shert notice. Prof. Warren has
forsworn attending all marriages here
after unless guarded by an elderly female
dressed In black.
