There has been an agreeable let-up' for some
time in the stories about White Cap outrages and
sensible people had begun to hope that they had
heard the last of this silly and stupid business
The latest report on the subject comes from
Marion, Ind. in the mel ghborhood of which there
have been some White Cap outrages. But the
strong arm Of the law has laid hold of the Of
tenders, and there is reason TO believe that they
will meet the punishment they deserve. In plain
words, they are held to answer the ugly charge
OF assault and battery. This looks like progress.

And Hopeful Patriots to Take Their Places
are Many.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Hon. c. B.
Smith of Parkersburg, has been getting in
his fine work yesterday and day. He,
with some CT the party leaders, have FL
ready secured the appointment of J. W.
Anderson, Of FairmOnt, as messenger in
the Interior Department Mr.. Anderson
is mine boss in the Fleming and Watson
mines, and his appointment is due to the
part he has taken in the late campaign
1t is also a bid for the labor element in
Marion county.
1t is the intention of the Republican
leaders to use the West Virginia patronage
for all it IS worth. Ifit is thought for one
minute that il is not to be used in the
most partisan way, the one thinking so is
most wOefully mistaken. All this is be-
ing done with the sanction of the Presi-
dent. Every West Virginia d smOcrat here
is watched and charges of offensive parti-
sanship will be made against every one just
as soon as the semblance Of a case can be
secured
The case of W. NJ. Manning is one of the
first, but is not the last by any means.
Sam Hawk, of Kanawhs Falls, is an appli-
cant already for his position and there will
be a number more in a day or so.
Ex.Sheriff Morgan, of Upshur county,
West Virginia, was among the callers at
the Department OF Justice to-day, and was
introduced to the Attorney General BY
Colonel Ben Wilson. Dr. Morgan is an
applicant for the United States District
Marshalship. He left for home tonight.

A LITTLE FURRY.
The Druggists of the City Come to an
Agreement About Patent Medicines.

The Druggists OF the City Come to an
Agreement About Patent Medicines.
There was good deal of excitement
among the druggists in the city yesterday
on account of McLain Bros, advertising
in the REGISTER that they would hereafter
sell all patent medicines at twenty per
cent. reduction. A number of the druggists
called upon McLain Bros, to ascertain
why they had decided upon this course
They explained that they had for long
time been bothered by people coming in
and asking for patent medicines and when
the price was given them they would
claim that they could secure the same
medicine ut other drug stores in this city
twenty per cent. less.
"We got tired of this, - said a member
of the firm, land decided to put stop to
il, and we have succeeded"
The druggists drew up an agreement
that the former prices would be main
tanned, and about all the druggists in the
city have signed it. A meeting will be
held on Monday, at which time arrange
ments will be made 10 have each druggist
put up a certain amount as forfeit in case
they break the agreement and sell for less
than the standard price. Another drug
gist, when he saw the advertisement, put
card in his window announcing that he
would sell patent medicines at 33i per
cent. reduction, and there was consterna
ton all around The druggists claim that
20 per cent. reduction would take away
their entire profits on proprietary medi-
cines.

The Miners BIZ Rendered Null and Void
by Crooked Work.


by Crooked Work.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 23.-There
are sensational developments in connection
with the bill passed by the recent General
Assembly requiring uniformity in the
screening and weighing of coal and such
inspection as would prevent cheating Of
miners.
There was a strO1g lobby influence
against the bill from the mine operators,
aud the miners were equally alous in It's
advocacy. The House passed the bill, and
i. came up for third reading in the Senate
on the closing night Of the session. Some
amendments we're made in the Senate,
and when it wss sent to the House for con-
curIencC In the changes, like some other
bills in which the lobby was greatly IN
terested, it mysteriously disappeared.
Investigation was Threatened, and the
Speaker announced that he WOuld at once
issue warrants for the arrest of the parsons
who were susps c.ed of having stolen it.
The threats had the effect of bringing the
bill from cOncealment, but it turned up as
mysteIiOusly IS it disappeared. 1t was
sent to the ergrOssing room for enrolment
and it was there. II seems, that the rascally
work which entirely destroyed the force Of
the act was accomplished. This was done
IN enrolling the bill by leaving out the en-
acting clause. This omission renders the
oct null and void.
No one has any idea who did the work
The defeat of the bill Will cause much dis
appointment among the miners Of the
State. as it was measure which they
were more interested In than any oth5I
that came before the legislature.

Gross n, gligence In Conducting the Pur-
suit-AnOther Outrage.
UNIoYrowN, PA, March 23.-The fail
ure Of tie officers 70 capture the McClel-
Iandto9n robbers last night in the noun
ta;ns is the subject of general remark and
condemnation here to-day. The party
that wen. up first claim that the robbers
were in the h use, and in explanation of
their escape say that they we're worn out
by long trip and watching and got psr-
ty of mouDtaineers TO guard the house
while the officers rested. This was after
dark and it was while they were resting
that the escape occurred. A search OF the
cellar of the log house
showed a quantity of provisions
stored therein, as if they had prepared for
siege, and hole was in the foundation at
the side large enough for man pass
through TO the outeide. This is alleged as
their means of escape. No clue to the where
abouts Of the gang has been detected, al
though they ale supposed TO b N the yicln-
ity of Markleysburg, and the oiicas have
sll returned here.
The expedition last night under Sheriff
Miller, blame the escape on the negligence
of the previous party, and say they found
Ike whole party half mile from the lcg
house, smoking and chatting. Tne whole
thing was poorly managed, and the leaders
are severely censured.
'It is reported here that three of the
band returned to the log house this morn
ing and ate their breakfast there. Word
reached here this evening that the house
of an aged couple living near Eliotts
Mills. in the mountains between Mark
leysburg ard this place was entered by rob
bers late last night who bound the inmates
and threatened to hang them to the joists
if they did not give up their money. The
report says that the miscreants secured
1913, but no particulars can be learned at
this hour. The tale sounds too much like
the outrages of the gang that is being hunt
ed. that if there any truth IN the story 1t is
probably the work Of the same band.

to ward off the blow, and received the stab
in his left side, about three inches below
the heart. He fell prostrate, and was re-
moved to the Office of DR.. S. n. Myers.
His wound is very serious, and expected to

day evening in company with his,brotheT,

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March 23.-J. a
Beasley lived with his wife and two chil-
dren in q rude cabin in Monroe county, re-
mote from any settlement
About two weeks ago he entire family
we're taken sick with typhoid feyer. There
was only one bed in the cabin and on this
the father, mother and two children lay.
They were unable to do anything for each
other or to 90 for assistance. When dis
covered, a day or two ago, the children
were dead and their bodies were still lying
on the bed beside their sick father ana
mother
Mrs B5asley was raving with dehrlum
and her husband was too weak to rise from
the bed. The children had been dead two
days when the condition OF the family was
discovered by the accidental visit Of a
ueighbor. Mrs. Beasley viii probably die,
1ut her husband, it is thought, will re-
cover
