11er Mcm0ry WAS fOor, but One Fact She
Had Not Entirely Forgotten.
Mr.. Billus sat in his comfortable arm
chair, with his feet comfortably resting
on another chair. Mr.. lsillus was en-.
joying himself. IIe had dincd. and he
dcfled fate TO do its worst, even a. an
other great man is said by historians TO
have done under like circumstances long
before the period Of Billus.
Maria, he observed. ''thisisthe ami.

Mr.. Billus. II wonder If you remember

Tho stomach Of che q. q. r. II Now Full
Of Nnuseous Grow.
There Is wailing In the camp OF mo-
nopoly and privilege Mournful cpitaphs
have been hung, and oil the rites per.
formed that appertain unto : burial.
The Republican stomach Is full Of nause-
Gus crow, garnishcd with NORWOOD
and seasoned with the gall Of bitter
ness. For many day the organs will
feed their readers on explanations. They
will seek TO cover with petty excuses
that which appears in appropriate naked
ness. There Is but one thing upon
which the party Of bluster can brag
now-it can show more black eyes than
all the hours Of the Mussulman heaven.
The Iowa Democrats have at last got
out Of the wilderness OF fanaticisw and
free whisky, and their Moses will now
strike with his rod OF right the rock Of
justice, and bring forth pure stI ,am
that will cleanse the State OF Repub-
lican sewage. He has led his faithful
followers into the promised land Of Dem
ocratic ascendancy
The rebel Brigadier. Malone, is buried
for all time. The organs should not
complain OF his destruction. Their meat
and drink Is abuse Of rebel Brigadiers,
and they should rejoice that one Of them
tho worst-has met his fate at the
hands Of an honest man.
The forged-letter dodge did not save
the Firc-Alarm leader Of the Ohio Re-
publicans. His sham pretense at espous-
ing the cause OF Sunday saloon-closing
did not save him. The respectable ele-
ment in his own party refused to vote
for him. and he had nothing to expect
from the Democrats. lie, too, is done
for.
The defeat Of Foraker, Hutchinson and
Malone, the election Of Campbell, Boies
and Mckinney, is stinging rebuke to
administration and to the whole Re-
publican party. Tuesdays votes show
that the election OF Harrison was an ac-
cident and a mistake. More than that,
they show that the bow Of promise for
the Democrats in 1892 is already being
set in the political heaven. They show,
too, that the tax-ridden, monopoly-op-
pressed people Of this country are find
ing out that they must look to the Dem
ocratic party for their deliyerance from
the chains OF error, dishonesty and
fanaticism. The people have found that
the Democratic party - their party, and,
having learned this, they will stand by
the party and their rights.-Chicago
Herald.

Something Wrong.

For some time we have been re-
ceiving complaint that the Argus
does not reach its destination for
several days after it is issued. We
do not know why it does not get to
its destination on time, for VIC mail
it regularly in plenty of time. If
we hear any more complaint, we will
ask "Uncle Sam" to investigate the
matter and find out whose fault it
is. The papers leave this office on
Friday morning, and should get to
their destination on Saturday.

A very pleasant evening was spent
on Friday of las week by number
Of the friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Fortney, at their residence, in sit
ting under the trees and listening
to a series of songs rendered by Mr..
Albert Lee, of Grafton, accompani-
ed by Messrs. James Terril and
Joshua Staley, Of this place, on the
guitar. The music was fine and was
thoroughly enjoyed, not only by the
friends assembled, but by many
others at their homes and on the
streets, as the situation Of Mr..
Fortney's residence and stiffness of
the atmosphere allowed the mellow
music to be carried quite a distance.
Give us more open air concerts.

Dying OF Cancer.

News reached us last Sunday that
Handy Gibson, who at one time
kept IA barber shop in this place, was
not expected to live. He is troubled
with cancer in the mouth, and
went to Baltimore for treatment,
but the experts there can do moth
ing for him, and he must die.
Handy has many friends in this
county, and stands high as citi-
zen in Oakland.
Later Handy died in Baltimore
on Monday.

A lodge of Jr. o. U. A. NJ. was
instituted at Fairmont, one day last
week, to be known as Queen City

Instituted by Mr.. @. S. Holt, Dep

After the institution of the lodge, a
banquet was given in honor of the
occasion. Mr.. Holt was assisted in
the work by Mountain City Coun-

w. II. McGibbOns Arrested.

VIM. ii. McGibbons, a justice of
the peace at Bruceton. was arrested
last Friday by Special Agent Roome
and taken TO Morgantown, where he
had hearing before United States
Commissioners Richard Fast, who
held him IN II bond of 81, 200 to
wait the action of the grand jury.
Mr.. McGibbons, we understand,
spent about sixty days in working
up the claim for Mr.. Maust, and
succeeded in getting about 81, 200
for him, but only charged the reg
ular fee, ten dollars. Maust, know
ing the amount of labor and trouble
McGibbons had expended in his i'm
terest, gave him check for about
two hundred dollars; the report
was circulated, evidently by some
enemy of McGibbons', that he had
demanded One-fourth Of the PEN
sion money. We believe that when
the case is tried before the court, he
will be exonorated from all criminal
intentions. Mr.. McGibbons is one
of the most honorable men in Pres
ton county, and would not think of
wilfully violating the law.
