Waring, to allow the westbound ex.
press to pass, but he failed to carry out
his instructions, and passed to Waring
and was lying on the main track when
the express came into the cut. Wheth-

on, i'll the endeavor 10 reach the next
station before meeting the express,

on. The two locomotives were twisted
aside mounting each other. The pass

HOW THE HERALD GROWS In
FAVOR.

When THE HERALD started ten years
ago not few of its friends took several
copies to help it on, among the number
being Mr.. B. +. Busey, one of Berkeley's
well known citizens and farmers, now
living at Leetown. There are now a
half dozen of his family regular sub
sciibers to TIE HERALD, and all compli-
ment it highly as a good home news
paper. THE HERALD in ten years ha:
seen many ups and downs, and has al
ways made the joys and sorrows of its
readers its own. Looking back we miss
many kind and encouraging friends who
are no more. Looking ahead we have
the kind support and assurance OF
friendship from hundreds of worthy
citizens, whom it is pleasure to serve
personally and politically whenever
possible, but always as intelligent read
ers of THE HERALD.

The Mckinley Bill and West Virginia

This is the season of the year when
$500 TAXPAYERS
in West Virginia are having a practical
demonstration of the fact that the Nc
Kinley Bill has reduced taxation.
$500 TAXPAYERS
in this State are no longer required to
from 50 40 year up to $3.50 year for
selling tobacco in its various forms and
for manufacturing it.
$500 TAXPAYERS
in this State are thus relieved of direct
taxation by one clause of the Mckinley
Bill but the Democratic papers are ST.
lent as the grave on the subject. The
taxpayers are finding it out however,

to suppress all public demonstrations on

ployers have nevertheless given notice
that their workingmen will have holi.
day on that day. In the districts of
Moravia, where the chief disturbances
occurred last year, considerable force
OF troops has been quartered and the
authorities, civil and military, are under
orders to deal severely with any attempt
at rioting 1t is believed in Vienna that
there is less danger of trouble this wear
than last, as the condition of the work
ing class, apart from the industries
specially affected by the American
tariff, has been much improved by the
favorable legislation and more consider
ate treatment on the part of the employ
ers. In Galicia there have been symp-
toms of an anti-Semitic outbreak under
cover of a May day demonstration, as
the poorer Poles, like the poorer Rus
SLAMS, are prone to connect their own
wretchedness with the comparative
prosperity, in a financial way, of the
more thrifty Hebrews.
