Some days ago a man hired room in
the Clunie Building. Saturday morning
failing to get up, the chambermaid opened
the door and found the man dead. From
memorandum found in his pocket it seems
that his name was John FL. Kearney. He
had been employed on the railroad and
had worked on the Norris Grant. The
Coroner took charge of the remains, but
no inquest will be held as the physician
who had been prescribing for him gave
him certificate that death was the resul
of natural causes. Deceased was about 81
years OF age.
Euery r0ter should see that his name IS o.

Last Day of Registration.

This is the last day for registration, and
it is to be hoped that every one entitled to
vote at the approaching election will make
doubly sure that his name is on the Great
Register to-day. Under the law, registra-
tions can be made until midnight tonight.
and the County Clerk will keep his office
open this evening TO accommodate " the
last man." As, however, there are likely
to be very many last men. and registra-
tons cannot be made after II O'Clock P. M.
the only safe way is for the last to be first
and go early to day to the County Clerk
and be registered

THE Atlas WIN AGAIN.

Nne Atlas OF this city defeated the Kinks
of Woodland, yesterday, after very inter-
esting and exciting contest. The Kinks
were strengthened by young twirler from
Stockton, by the name of Chase, the same
young gentleman who held the Haverlys
down TO three scattering hits. He has
plenty of speed and good command of the
bail, but the Sacramento boys " lit onto -"
his delivery and kept the bail rolling from
the beginning to the end of the game
Barry, of the old Atlas, and his prize
catcher, Mclaughlin, were in the points
for the Atlas and both did credit to them
selves as the score will show. McDonald's
playing at second was simply brilliant, his
neat double play in the last inning won the
admiration of the large attendance. Daw-
son, at short, played a good game. Ranlett
cannot be excelled at third. There is only
one fault the Sacramento boys have to find
with playing ball in Woodland, and that
fault lies in the umpire, who is very rank"
in his decisions. The Woodlandites have
decked their hats with Grape, and many
reckless Woodlander lost all his loose
change on the result of the game. The
following is the score:

Be Honest, Brethren.

In all the petty silly and virulent
criticisms, we have seen in our
State exchanges, of the action of
the W. C. T. y. in the recent State
convention, we have yet to
find single instance where the
editor was honest and fair enough
to quote the resolution adopted,
and assail it in a manly way.
Even the West Virginia ADVOCATE
adopts the low plane OF political
partisan warfare, declares some
thing the W. G. T. U. never did and
wastes column in predicting dire
calamities to the organization as
results of alleged action that never
was taken. Our readers will find
the resolution reproduced in full
on w. G. T. U, page, and will OBJ
serve that no mention is made of
any particular party, and only
pledges "sympathy to that party
which declares for the Home and
against the Saloon
If there be any political or moral
obliquity in this simple declaration
of sympathetic the brethren point
it out, and have done with their
piratical filibustering against the
peaceful habitations Of the busy
w. g. T. u.

A Dashing Move,

The Third Party Prohibitionists
did not wait to see what sort Of
men the Democrats or the Repub.
licans would nominate. They
hoped in gaily month before
either Of those parties held con.
vention to nominate State officers,
and Lo, they have set before the
voters of West Virginia their dish
of nominees. 1t certainly is dash.
ing move for a young party, but
then it is a party which is destin.
ed to die young In tezligemcer.
The Prohibition party may sue
coed sooner than many of US hope
in demolishing the Saloon and
clearing up Uncle Sans premises
generally, and go may be ready to
die young and happy, but we
guess brother Hart will have am
pie time, before getting ready for
the funeral, to write up his Maine
tour of observation. Come Dear

THE FIGHT GOES ON.
Come Over and Help Us.

Whoever may falter and fail be-
cause the battle may not 60 to suit
them, the great fight for the
Amendment in West Virginia,
goes right on. The conflict is join
ed between the Home forces and
the combined powers of darkness,
and the fight must be fought out to
the finish. The w. G. L. U. is at
the very front in the hottest of the
battle. The members of the Pro-
hibition party are everywhere bat
thing for the Amendment on its
merits, appealing to all friends Of
all parties to fall into line for the
decisive charge. The Good Tenn
plars are massing their forces for a
charge all along the lines, and for
the next three months the clash
and clamor of Prohibition battle
Will be such as never before heard
in West Virginia.
Be it known to all the world
that there is brave work being
done by the Home forces of our
little Mountain State; but they
need outside sympathy and help.
Above all, literature is needed and
means to send our Prohibition pa.
pers broadcast among the people.
Here's chance for all friends who
would have a hand in our conflict
and share in our victory. Any
contributions sent to W. G. T. U.

MRS. HOFFMAN'S ADDRESS.
The Ab1est Ever Heard on Court
Square.


report with elaboration, and chal-
lenge any thinking, reasoning man
or woman who was present to point
to any address, political or
otherwise, ever listened to by a
promiscuous audience on Court
Square, that brought to the hear
ers a closer, more forcible compact
of live, burning facts, convincing
logic and irresistible conclusions,
than was poured forth to that SPELL
bound, open-air audience, Monday
night. 1t was en- immense out
door audience and the order of the
great crowd that gathered was
marvellous, showing that every man,
woman and child was eager to
catch and hold every sentence that
fell from the earnest speakers lips.
There was no berating against
anybody or any party, but such
clear and vivid presentation of the
shameful facts of the political per-
lis of the country, with the two
great parties vieing with each
other to secure and hold the great
power of the Liquor Traffic for the
influence and votes it controls,
compelled assent to every count of
the speakers masterful indictment,
and led them on to the imperative
necessity Of Prohibition as the only
remedy, with party committed to
Prohibition to enforce the laws.
We certainly shall now hear less
Of the silly cry of keep 1t out of poll
tics, at least by any who heard this
address. If there was any part of
the able discussion more vigorously
and conclusively done than any
other, it was the sweeping away of
this fallacious and nonsensical cry.
The Liquor Question was brought
into politics and enthromed there by
the liquor men in partnership
with politicians, and it was there
we must meet and fight it to the
death, or as nation be dominated
and dragged down to death by it.
The responsibility and duty OF
the Individual voter was pressed
home with startling emphasis, and
the church and Christian citizen
ship of the country severely ar
raigned for criminal Indifference
and criminal completely in the
curses of the traffic, by their will
full continuance in voting for men
and parties who, as they we'll know,
will continue the great legalized
iniquity.
Facts were put in bold array show
ing the political wisdom and true
statesmanship evinced in the brave
stand and aggressive campaign of
the Prohibition party in 1884. By
this forcing of the issue to the front,
more Temperance agitation and
legislation had been secured in the
last four years than in many years
before. And so the tide Of agita-
ton and legislation would go on
and on. Politicians may qroa01 and
h0aOI but the great movement will
go right on. Prohibition is right
and Blight will Wam. High tribute
was paid the brave men and wo-
men who have courage to stand
forth and battle against odds, for
Home and Country nor did the
speaker fail to make eloquent
appeal to West Virginia voters to
stand by the Home and against
the Saloon in our Amendment con-
fict.
1t was good evening for the
