The w. Virginia gubernat orial fight is
not ended vet. The committee that
has been investigating the election
will soon submit two reports to the
acting governor. One will elect Fle-
ming, Democrat, by 215 plurality, the
other will show the election of Gen.
Goff, Republican, by 100 plurality.
The Democrats on the committee
threw out enough votes from those
which had been legally cast to elect
Fleming, but the Republicans claim
that this going behind the legally de-
termined count is revolutionary. The
contest does not seem any nearer a
settlement than it was nearly year
ago, and in the meantime the hol J.
over democratic governor continues to
exercise executive functions. Blade.

Free trade papers are all the time
telling the farmers that our protective

How does our protective tariff on i'm

most unfortunate experience with bear traps
He had set three gun traps for bears. Next

to see if he had caught u bear.
As he approached tho traps he saw a bear
struggling near one of them. He started to
run, fearing the bear might make its escape
In his eagerness he quite forgot about the
traps between himself and his coveted game
Mr. Durgin passed one trap in safety, but in
crossing the second he stepped on the spring,
the gun was discharged and the shot entered
his thigh. BE sank to the ground, half faint
ing, and all thought of the bear for the mo
ment left his mind.

gin soon saw this, and reaching for his gun
