A JOKE ON DAVID.
How Staunch Republican Voted the
Democratic Ticket

The boys have pretty good joke
on a we'll known citizen, but before
it can be appreciated by the stran-
ger it must be understood that he is
one of the most enthusiastic kinds
of a Republican-one who believes
or rather has always believed that
ascendacy of the Democracy would
result iE the absolute ruin and desc
lation of the country, which almost
before the printers ink announcing
the election of Democratic ticket
would have time to dry, would be-
come bowling wilderness. fit only
for the habitation of wild beasts,
free traders and eepperheads. And
he not only believed these things
himself, but he had terribly obnox-
ious manner of endeayoring o rub
his views into those of The other
faith, and it is principally for this
reason that they now employ the
little incident which is about to be
related to make his life miserable
and tantalize him almost beyond
bis power OF endurance.
A few days before the recent cleo
ton, so the story goes, he was in
town and got holdsof sample bal
lot, on which the Democratic candi-
dates were murked just as they
should be for one who wanted to
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
He took this sample ballot home
with him, so the story continues,
and when he went to vote ON the Sth
carried it with him into the beezh
Although he is q man of ordinary
intelligence-certainly bright enough
to know how he wanted to
yote,-he used the sample ticket
as it was marked as guide
for the marking Of the ticket which
he voted and TINS cast straight
Democratic ticket from President
down to Surveyor; and this is where
the laugh comes in. He claims that
the affair was simply mistake, but
thare are those among his neighbors
who pretend to believe that he had
really seen the error of his way and
along with the majority actually
wanted the national administration
changed and Intentionally cast his
ballot accordingly.
AT all events the joke is on him
and the boys are having a good time
over it,
Some might wonder how, with the
secret ballot law in operation, it
could possibly be learned how this
man voted. For the information of all
who ask this question it may be stat
ed that the Davey gave the snap
aWaY himself.

The Railroads and the Fair.

The position taken by the RAILROAD
authorities with regard to Worlds
Fair travel is very simple. They be-
lieve that they will have all the bus
mess they can do ut full rates, and
consequently they win have no OBJ
ject to gain by reducing rates This
is simple proposition, and the ques-
tion is whether their expectations
will be fully realized The line of
argument is the same as that pur
sued by the individual famous in fa
BILE who owned a goose that laid each
day Il golden egg. The eggs are all
in the goose, the man argued, and
why should | not open her and get
them all at once instead Of undergo
ing the tedious wait? 1t is well known
that disappointment followed the ex
pertinent, and it may be that the
railroad magnates will have a similar
experience. The making or the MARI
ing Of the fair is with the railroads.
There are not enough people living
in and around Chicago to make the
fair q success. If full rates are to
be charged, only those persons living
at distance will be aa1le to visit.it
who have full purses and plenty of
time at their disposal. Thea the ques-
tion arises whether the success of
the fair is desirable or will promote
the development and welfare of the
country IF this result is to be an.
ticipated from a successful fair, who
or what is more deeply interested in
the matter than the railroads, and
would not the prospects of future
business justify the companies in
making some concessions, even at
the risk of not reaping an immediate
return as large as could be expected
from full faresf The prosperity of
the railroads is bound up with that
Of the country.

Grant Cumnlins in Jail.

Grant Cummins again views the
cherries aspect Of the interior of
our county Jail. He was brought
here from Fairmont ON Tuesday
evening.
The charge against Cummins is
an old one. Some years ago he shot
through a window of the Wallace
House, the bullet striking the wall
inside but short distance from j.
G. Wallace Cummins fled
An indictment followed He went
to Fairmont to live, and last Oeto-
Der capias was issued to the Sher-
if of Marion county for his arrest.
He gave bond in the sum of $500
for his appearance at court here.
Then he fled again. Last Saturday
night he was in Morgantown on his
way back to Fairmont. He got
there all right, but kept from being
seen. Ridgley, who would lose the
$500 if Cummins were not recaptur.
ed, had officers on Monday evening
to watch his house, and true enough
when Constable Morgan went in the
house on Tuesday evening Cummins
was there. He was arrested, brought
here and will stay in Jail till his
trial at February court and Ridgley
is released as bondsman.

Buy a Hen,

Too poor to take a home paper.
Well, that is distressing condition.
Buy Il hen, feed her on crumbs and
waste from the kitchen and she will
lay eggs enough to pay for years
subscription; then work her up in a
pot pie and she will pay first cost,
so the paper will be clear profit.
Repeat this process year after year
and you will see how easy it is to
pay for your home paper.-Ligonter
Leader.
The advice of the Leader would
be excellent if it was not for the
fact that nine out of ten who don t
take paper don't know how to set
the hen Walhertoa Independent.
Not only the latter, but they don't
know where to go to sell the eggs
after the hen has laid them, simply
because they don't take home pa
per to learn the name of merchants
who are always ready to buy at a
good pricc.-Fairmont Free Press.
Most of them don't know enough
to count dozen.

ed by the Baltimore and Ohio Rsil-
road over the Cheat river in West
Virginia. He came to Pittsburg to
spend the holiday and registered at
the St. James Hotel. While walking
along Sixth street during the even
ing he noticed that pair of uni
formed officers were following behind
him. He paid no regard to them,
not thinking for moment that he
was the object of their attention,
until one of the pair laid hand on
his shoulder with the remark:
ave want you
Mr. Odell, turning, saw that it
was lieutenant of police who had
addressed the remark to him, and
that his companion was a policeman.
In tone Of surprise, not unmingled
with indignation, he replied:
What can you wish of me? am
not aware of doing anything that
warrants you arresting me-"
Unless you belle your looks you
can tell us something of the recent
boarding house robberies about the
city, was the reply from the Lieu
tenant. Mr.. Odell explained who he
was and his reason for being in the
city, which the officers accepted with
apparent satisfaction, apologizing
for their mistake.
He proceeded on up street, when be
was again aceosted on Penn avenue
few moments later by the same
officers, who said that they were not
entirely satisfied, as TO his identity
and requested him to step around to
Central Station
We'll, if you come with me to the
st. James Hotel l suppose l can
show my authority for walking along
the street unmolested,n he answered.
The officers consented and went
with him to the hotel, where,
through the assistance Of Clerk
Adam Wilt, the identity of the
young man was thoroughly estab-
lished and the doubts of the officers
were set at rest They were profuse
in their apology for their yexatioas
mistake. The victim, however. took
the matter gooa naturally and re-
marked that itsurely was not the
fault of a want of vigilance If Grim.
inals escaped detection in Pittsburg.
