Result in Charleston.

The Police Court is the best Sa-

a recent issue of the Charleston

every West Virginia voter should
consult before voting on the

We here give the report as fol-

Through the kindness of our
city recorder I have obtained the

Tote Fair.

The FREEMAN, which is of course
on-political, especially in its pro.
fession, thinks that the ticket NOM
mated at St. Louis is a good one,
indeed that it could not have been
better.-Sate Journal.
Tote fair, Brother Journal ). there's
heap of crookedness or careless
ness, one or the other, in that para
graph. The FREEMAN makes no
profession of being non-political,
and so protests against the insinu-
alton in the first paragraph. The
FREEMAN was established and lives
to fight the liquor traffic at the bal
lot box and in the halls of legisla-
ton, ard that's intensely political,
AS to the St. Louis ticket, we
said not word about its being a
good one. We said this: ave doubt
if the party could have named a
stronger ticket for the campaign"
There may be vast difference De-
tween goodness and strength. The
party could have had much better
ticket by simply endorsing the In
dianapolis nominees, Fisk and
Brooks, and we heartily commend
this course to the Chicago Conven-
ton, if the Repub licans want bet
ter ticket than the Democrats have.

Making The Fur Fly.

The third party Prohibitionists
are making the fur fly this year.
There isno use calling them cranks
any longer. While we think they
are very unwise yet they have the
same right to their opinion as
others. The Gazette claims this
right, and it would be unfair to say
that others should not have the
same Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Death of General Sheridan

NoNoUITT, Mass, Aug. 6.-General
Sherdian's death occurred at 10 30 last
night. Previous to the sudden appear
ance of heart failure, at about 9;3O
last evening, there had been no pre-
monitions during the day of an IN
favorable change in his condition.
The weather has been warmer than
usal and the General was at times a
little restless, but seemed generally
bright and cheerful. His voice was
strong, he took full supply of nour-
ishment, slept occasionally as usual,
and the doctorA and his family were
in hopes of his recovery. About
o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the physl-
clans went to the hotel for supper
and soon after their return the usual
preparations for the night were made
At about 0 30 Colonel Sheridan said
good night" to his brother and went
to the hotel, there having been through
the day no signs whatever of any I'M
favorable change in his condition. At
$50 symptoms of heart failure sud-
denly appeared and the doctors who
were with him at the time Immediately
applied remedies which proved sue
cessful in all similar attacks, but this
time they were without effect and de-
spite what could be done the General
gradually sunk into a condition OF
complete Inconsistencies and at 10: 20
breathed his last, dying painlessly.
Mrs. Sherdian's sisters, Mahan and
Justinian, and faithful lady servant,
were also at his bed side throughout
his dying hour.
The General had made his will and
all preparations for death. He leaves
a widow, the daughter of General
Rucker, and four small children, three
girls and one boy.

Free Timber For Miners.

Senator Stewart offered an amend
ment to the sundry Civil appropria-
ton bill prohibiting the expenditure
of any portion of the appropriation
for the protection of timber on public
lands, in prosecuting or investigating
persons in the mining regions OF
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and
other Territories, who shall cut for
mining or domestic purposes, dwarfeo
or scrubby timber unfit to be hew-
ed or sawed into lumber OF COM
mercial value. After an explanation
of its object the amendment was adopt
ed and there will be no more arrests
of wood choppers in Nevada for cut
ting on the public domain such scrub
by timber as grows IN the mountains
for fuel for mills and for domestic
purposes.

In his report the Commissioners has
this to say upon the subject of col.
Letting statistics:
There can be no better place than
just here to call attention to the
urgent need OF facilities for obtain
ing eliable and accurate statistics of

tho requirements OF tie age-not so
much because it is called for by pc.

grandest expression ever uttered
by the great thinker of the age.
DEATH OF MIssoURIGoyERNoR.
The State was startled ycster-
day, the 3Sth, by the announce
ment that Governor John S. Mar
fmadulle was dead. He died at the
Mansion in Jefferson City of pncu-
monia, after an illness of IS hours.
But few knew of his indisposition
until the wires flashed the intelli-
gcnce abroad that he was dead.
Three years ago he was elected
governor Of Missouri, and had one
more year to serve before his term
would expire. Death came along
and cut short the term of service
allotted him. His health has been
failing for some months. During
the past season he made the trip
to Europe and spent some months
abroad. a wrecked and wasted
constitution left nothing for dis.
ease to do when it took hold of
him, and death made short work of
it. John Sappington Marmadukc
was the son of eX-Gov. NJ. NJ. Mar
madukc, who was governor of Mis-
souri, in 1910. The recent incum
bent Of the executive chair of State
was born in Saline county, Mo-, in
1888. He was graduate of West
Point, and was class mate of
Gov. Lee, Of Virginia. He was in
the service of the United States
Government until the war between
the States began, when he resign
ed his commission and entered the
Southern army. His record was
crcditablc as q leader Of the Con
federate troops upon many fields.
lie reached the position of major
general. A duel between him and
the brave General Walker, of Ten
ncssce, which resulted in the death
of the latter, was q lasting stain
upon the record of Marmaduke.
There was no cause for it. Besides
there was fighting enough to do,
as the enemy were attacking their
line at the time, and true soldiers
never kill their friends. Msrma-
duke was not Il statesman, but be-
came governor by reason OF his
Southern record. While | would
