The following from the Statesman
has the right ring:
In the matter of the action Of the
State Board of Equalization, the
Statesman believes that the trouble
has arisen from the error of the Leg.
islntnre in charging the State Board
with such broad duties. A State
Board Of Equalization should have
jurisdiction only over such matters as
county boards cannot reach. If our
State Board had had no authority to
change stock assessments; aud il
county boards had not been author.
lied to fix railroad assessments, leav.
ing that to be adjusted on a uniform
basis by the State, there would have
been none of this howl, and the COW

CALDWELL TmBuNE: The casting
which the arteslan well people were
waiting for, came last "Wednesday
and Thursday noon, steam was raised,
and the journey to the center of the
earth began. With its usual enter
prise the Tribune sent its best detec-
tive to keep sharp lookout for ina
ges. If he don't find one in two DAYS
that will knock the spots off the ia
nous Nampa image, he will be placed
under the hammer and sent down af-
ter one. OF course we expect to find
more artesian water than did our
Nampa friends, but of what avail is
water without an image. Our very
soul yearns for one, aud should water
squirt up 1000 feet in the air, without
modern relic of antiquity to have
pictured in the Scientific American,
we should feel that all our labor was
in vain.

On the question of the Sunday
closing of the Worlds Fair, the Sen
tinel of Laramie, Wyoming, says:
We don't care very much about the
matter, either way, aud it is not likely
anything we might say would have
much influence in deciding it. y
But it looks to us very like pharsaical
fanaticism that would close the Fair
and open the saloons and beer gar
dens Oh Sunday. 1t is our private
opinion that nine tenths of those who
would visit the Exposition on Sunday
IF they had chance-w would, if il
is closed, put IN their Sunday in a
very much worse place. Anyhow, il
we were running saloon or beer
garden in Chicago we would be in
favor of closing the Exposition OF
Sunday for fear it would, il open, at
tract our patrons away from us.

General Dyrenforth, in an article
in the North American Review, gives
description Of the experiments OF
the government expedition TO Texas
for the purpose Of rain-making. He
set up three lines to attack, each
about mile long and amile distance
from each other. The first was COM
posed Of mortar batteries which kept
up lively cannonade. The second
was a line of kites, which were to dis
charge dynamite cartridges at GER
tain elevation. There was line Of
balloons, filed with explosive gas,
contrived SO as to burst at a deter
mined height. The second line did
not work we'll, because Of the preya-
lent high winds, but the first and
third lines were successfully operat-
ed. The first experiment brought
down within brief period shower
which deposited over Two inches Oh
water over large area. The
second produced miniature food,
which extended over one hun
bred miles square. 1t was ushered
in with thunder and lightning. The
operators had to retreat to save them
selves from drenching. The roads
in all that section were soon knee
deep in mud. The place in which
these wonders were wrought is in
Liano Estacado, Of Texas, in com
parison with which tho driest spot in
4 California is a moist region. 1t is
well, perhaps, for General Dryenforth
that he lives in this enlighred age.
II he had assailed heaven after this
fashion some centuries ago he would
have been burned at the stake for a
wizard.

LAWSUIT OYER A CANE.

Up in Valley District the latest
sensation is a big lawsuit between
two prominent citizens for the pos.
session of cane, not the kind that
Able was killed with, but walking
stick that has history. 1t belong
ed to Hon. Jonathan Huddleson,
lately deceased, and was cut at the
tomb of Washington at BIT. Vernon,
near fifty years ago, by son-in law
OF Mr.. Huddleson, who had sill
yer head put on it and appropriate
engraving and inscription, and has
kept it as valued mementO ever
since, till short time before his
death, when he presented it to
young Geo. w. Fairfax, Oldest son
Of d.. j. M. G.. Fairfax, Of Reeds.
vile. The boy was great favorite
with Mr.. Huddleson, and while
there visiting one time he gave it to
him and made a little speech rela-
ting the history of the cane, and
charging young George to always
keep it in the family, so the Doctor
alleges, bat Henry W. Huddleson,
son Of the old gentleman, now
comes forward and claims the cane
and declares that his father gave
it to him, and as be values it very
highly, both for its history and for
his fathers sake, he seeks TO recover
it through the law, since DR.. Fair
fax refuses to give it up.
The trial was set for ] p. NJ. yes
terday before Squire Zinn, Of Valley.
A number Of witnesses we're sum
moned on both sides, and the whole
neigbborhOod is all agog over this
novel suit. Mr. Fairfax has retain
ed Attorney +. }. Crogan to appear
for him in the defense, while Mr..
HuddlesOn will conduct his own
case. He values the cane at 600
in the sVit, but prefers possession
Of the relic to any price for it.
Both men believe they are in the
right and We have no doubt arc
honest in their convictions, and it
will make q knotty problem for the
Justice or jury. We have not yet
learned the result.

SCHOOL ELECTION.
Comfy Superintendcnts Elected
Throughout the State.


The newspapers all agree that a
light vote was polled ane that bat
little interest was manifested oyer
the school election. In fact, in
some places it was hard to get suit
able candidates for the different
educational Offices. In some coun-
ties politics we're ignored and no
nominations made, the candidates
making the race on their merits.
In other cases the politicians took
a hand and controlled the matter.
In Marshall county j. w. Rine,
the Farmers Alliance candidate
was elected Supt. of Schools, defeat
ing tho regular Republican and
Democratic candidates. In Berke-
ley county r. Il. Keesecksi, Re-
publican, was elected. There were
two Democratic candidates, and
this gave 1t to the Republicans. In
Kanawha j. b. Wilmington, Dem
ocrat, was elected by q majority of
81. A. l.. HOLSTER, Republican,
was elected County Supt. for Wood
county by 100 majority. In Ma
rion, j. Lane Parrish, the Demo.
cratic candidate was elected by n
majority Of 66s. Cabell county
elected Henderson Davis, Demo-
cratic candidate, by about 200 ma
jority. Summers elected Geo. w.
Lilly, Democrat, over j. f. Lilly,
the Republican candidate. 1t was
a Lilly-white and sweot-sccnted
affair. j. q. Kemp, a teacher in
the Wellsburg school, was elected
Superintendent of Brooke over A..
W. Strain, the present incumbent.
In Richie county there was but one
candidate, Ii. b. Woods, Republi-
can, and of course he was elected.
Wonder if Presley Morris will trot
out his rooster over that?
Pleasant is very pleasant coun
ty and elected Anderson, Demo
crat. over Carroll, Republican, by

the Democratic candidate, was cleo
ted Supt. of Schools for Ohio coun-
ty by a majority of 160. Rev. Geo.
8. Arnold was elected Supt. OF
Schools for Mineral county. In
Taylor county the contest was
close, bot j. G.. Sc. Clair was elect
ed over A. j. Wilkinson by 4a
votes. The majority in favor OF
eight months school for Grafton
was very small. A. @. Shaffer, the

Considerable excitement prevails
in Reno District over the fne coal
field in that section that seems will
soon be developed. Two companies
are now trying TO get possession OF
the land. Although but little is
known OF the companies, as to who
compose them, yet it is believed one
is backed bv the b. & o. r. Il.
Company, while nothing is known
of the other company, except John
L. Cannon, of Piedmont, is doing
most Of the business at this end of
the work. Mr.. Cannon operates
extensively in the coal fields at
Georges Greek, near Piedmont, and
has the reputation of being No. /
business man.
The supposed b. s. o. Company's
men have done nothing more than
option the land, and securing that
land lying of from the foot of the
mountain next to Fellowsville.
Mr.. Cannon has paid considera-
bic money for his, which lies along
'the west face Of the Briery Noun
tains, he believing the best coal lies
toward the top of the mountain.
The coal is one OF the finest veins
in the country, az to thickness and
quality. 1t is eleven feet thick,
where it is opened on Mr.. Jonas
VOLTS place, and it has been tested
and found to be the best for burn
ing purposes. The people seem
largely to be with Mr.. Cannon, as
he is paying money and seems to
mean business. IL he, or both
companies 60 ahead in developing
the coal field there, it will start one
of the largest in the whole country.
1t will necessitate the building of
railroad to it, and most likely road
to the w. Va. Central and the b.
& o. also. which will make compe-
ting lines, which we stand in great
need Of.
1t is believed that the work will
be in operation as soon as sufficient
amount of land can be secured. We
learn MIR. Cannon wants at least
10000 acres, and that he will soon
have that amount. Ii the work
goes on as is expected, it will furn-
ish employment for hundreds Of
men, and open up an industry bene-
fetal to tho county and the State.
We wait further development with
interest.
Mr.. Duncan Mora, Of this place,
has been with them attending to
the legal work, examining titles,
writing deeds, articles, etc., and it
seems that the parties mean busl-
ness.
