Republican Hopes in West VIRGINIA.

Republicans seem to have some hope of seat
ing Gen. Golf as governor of the state Of West
Virginia. 1t is believed that all the republican
Senators will be in their seats today and as
one democratic member of the house has not
arrived and his whereabouts is unknown this
will leave tie i'll joint assembly Added to
this is the fact that at least two democrats are
considered doubtful on the gubernatorial CUES
ton. This is the ground for republican hopes.
In the joint committee to prepare rules for the
joint assembly to decide the guberuatorial
contest in West Virginia, the republicans asked
Saturday that Gen. Golf be allowed to make an
argument before the assembly in his own be-
half. The democrats opposed the request, but
the question was not decided. Democrats are
fearful OF the effect of COTS appearance on
the floor of the assembly

Horseshoes for Asphalt Pavements.

From the St. Louis Republic.
In England and on many parts of the con-
tinent they have been for long time using
the Yates horseshoe, one made by compress
ing common cowhide. 1t is compressed of
three thicknesses of the cowskin pressed into
steel mold aud then subjected to a chemi-
cal preparation. 1t is claimed for it that it is
much lighter, that it lasts longer and that
split hoofs are never known in horses using
it. 1t is perfectly smooth on the bottom, no
calks being required, the shoe adhering firmly
ON the most polished surface Its elasticity
prevents many sprains, the horses steps
being lighter and surer. Straw, treated with
chemicals unknown, has been used for horse
shoes for centuries in Japan. Perhaps some
American genius will give us paper horse
shoe--who knows?
