TWO MODS.
One to Protect and the Other to Lynch
Murderer.

One to Protect and the Other to Lynch q
Murderer.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December o.
Dispatches from Winona, Miss, say
that TWO large mobs of armed men are
facing each other at Woodstock, near
Carrollton. One is bent on lynching
George Money, a son OF Congressman
James P. Money, for the murder OF
Ed Elan, and the other is determined
to protect him. Nine hundred men
about evenly divided compose the MODS.
George Money, who is "a years old, y
enc of the brightest members OF the
Carroliton bar. He took an active part
in the late bitter Congressional cam
paign, and thereby incurred the
enmity of number Of the
popular politicians. He published two
or three weeks ago poem in the Car
rollton Conservative, in which the
names Of several Peoples party leaders
were mentioned, among them being T..
Elan, who replied by a card in the
Conservative of December 2. He de-
nounced the author in caustic and Bit
ter language. Friends OF both parties
attempted TO adjust the trouble, but
Elan refused to make any apology and
when the two men met on the streets OF
Carrollton last Saturday Money opened
fire with a shot gun, killing Elan al
most instantly. Money surrendered to
the authorities and on Tuesday gave
bail in the sum of $4,000 and was re-
leased.

Are Tired OF Soldier Life.
Parksrsbury .TouraQI

FGFksf60tf1 journal.
The Spilman Rifles, Company E of
the National Guard. had their regular
weekly drill last night. Next Wednes-
day night the question Of fines will come
up. About eighteen of the members
owe fines for non-attendance, and Capt.
Morrison says that these fines will posi-
lively have to be paid even if they have
to be collected by the sheriff.
One OF the members of the company
said they thought it was going to be a
nice thing consisting mostly of brass
buttons and feathers, but they were
mistaken. He says that a good many
OF the boys will pay their fine Of SIS per
day next July rather than attend the
encampment.
One fellow out at Buckhannon was
put IN jail for not attending the en-
campment here last July. Military
law is very strict and must not be fooled
with.
A member of Company E says that If
Captain Morrison will resign and dis
band the company he will make himself
solid with the boys for life and they will
give him big banquet. But Captain
Morrison thinks that he ought to do his
duty as an officer and soldier.

Chas. F. Keener.

10 tie Editor OF The REGISTER.
BRAMwELL, MERCER Co., w. VA, De-
cember 5.-Energy. good judgment,
moral courage and bold determination
are characteristics which must produce
merit. We often see in the same per-
sonage one or more Of the above traits
or total lack of others. Few are so
fortunate to be the possessor OF all.
The subject of this article is one Of the
favored few, and has during the late
campaign won for himself distinctions
and laurels Of which any young man
might Justly he proud. Mr.. Keener is
a young man and comparative unknown
until wisely appointed member OF the
Democratic State Committee for the
Seventh Senatorial district. He at once
resigned lucrative position with one
of our large coal and coke companies OF
our county and entered with unre-
Quilted zeal upon the work of the cam
paign. With what tenacity he stuck to
it, with what effectiveness, with what
power and wisdom he managed, the
people here all know and the result
must tell. As IA organizer he did
credit for one twice his years. While
he may not yet be claSSed with the first
orators of our State his speeches are
strong, convincing and unanSwer-
able and the future holds
for him day when the shrewdest oppr-
nent will shrink from meeting him on
the stump. His love for the Democrat
ic cause, his willingness TO work day
and night is indeed praiseworthy. His
horseback riding over the mountains
and hills, through the gorges and down
the valleys of Mercer, Mcdowell, Wy
oming, Fayette and Logan searching
for the cabin homes as we'll as the farm
houses Of the well-to-do, and refutng
the fallacious arguments held out by
the other parties, and implanting in the
minds of the people the principles
of Democracy, and organizing effective
clubs where they were unknown
before required tact and skill, end1r-
ance and magnetism possessed by few.
And again, his presence in the town on
all important occasions and sleepess
nights comforting with other leaders
and club officials planning to hold the
enemy in check, reminds one Of gen.
eral in actual warfare. To say that we
had vigilant, active, wide awake en-
envy TO fight but mildly expresses it.
An enemy with "boode," experience
and determination to "get there" but
on ali sides were they attacked, sur
rounded and sQuelched (for the time
being at least.)
Never was a more thorough canvass
made. never did committeeman more
thoroughly understand his work and dis
charge his duty, and never did young
man more deserve the confidence, re-
spect and remembrance of his party
than does Charles +. Keener.

For Speaker of the Rouse of Delegates
70 the EditOr Of the Register:
SIR:-Several names of good men have
been mentioned for speaker Of the
house Of delegates for the coming ses-
sion, but in point Of pre-eminent fitness
none Of them compare with Hon.
William &. Lively, OF Lewis county.
Mr.. Lively is man ripe in experience,
and he yields the gavel in manner
that makes even his enemies acknowl-
edge his ability aud fairness. The
gubernatorial contest has made VIM. h.
Lively's name prominent ali over West
Virginia-and justly so, inasmuch as be
worked with nntiring energy for nearly
eight months on the Contest Committee,
at great personal sacrifice financially,
to establish the right. During Hon.
Ben Wilson's time in Congress Mr..
Lively was chairman of his County Ex-
ecutive Committee for eight years. He
has also presided over his Congressional
and Senatorial districts and has the
honor of being delegate to the Chi
cago Convention that nominated Presi-
dent Cleveland the first time. Mr..
LlYely's friends are confident Of his
preferment and feel that the honor be-
slowed will be slight token Of party
appreciation and recognition for his
past invaluable services.

The Worlds Most Powerful Tribunal

The highest court of the United
States holds unique place in our
form of government and one not found
In any other governmental system. 1t
YIELDS power greater than is exercised
by any other judicial tribunal in the
world. In no country of Europe or
the east has any court authority to
make or unmake the supreme law of
the land, to limit the prerogatives of
the sovereign, to control the powers
OF the legislature, to shape the form of
government.
These functions are exercised bv the
supreme court of the United States. 1t
holds a power above that of the chief
magistrate of the nation, superior 10
that OF congress, higher than that of
any state, and equaled only by that
which made or can amend the consti-
tuition. 1t can enlarge or limit the pre-
negatives of the president or the
powers OF congress. 1t can change
the relations between the state and the
nation. 1t can extend or restrict
either the central power or state sover-
eighty. In short, it can make or un.
make the constitutional law of the
country. 1t can introduce radical
changes into our form of government
Not only can the supreme court WELD
these vast powers, it has long done so
and may long continue to do so.-

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
''mistress of the land and sea-" her peo-
pie worshiped II black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, even in
this form OF worship, In order to be an
object Of mad alteration it was, necas-
sary that the bull calf be born with a
circular white spot in the exact center
OF his forehead, and the advent of such
a creature in any herd was the signal of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean to tho border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late rs the time of Cleo
patra, "star eyed goddess, glorious sor-
ceress of the Nile" such animals were
shod with gold and had their horns
tipped with the same metal. Herodotus

Mnrdernus Science.

The American Analyst tells of the
heartless treatment a young woman
recently underwent at the hands OF
some so called Christian Scientists,
in Boston, Mass, which resulted in
her cruel death. and says: In Brook
Ign a temporary stop has been put to
this peculiar phase of fanatlcism by
the incarceration OF several of its hom-
icidal adopts in the penitentiary. No
more fragrant case. however, has been
brought to the public attention than
this one III Boston, and it is to be
hoped. i'll the interest of reason and
humanity. that the authorities in that
center of culture will interpose Their
authority SO as to. at least, prevent the
likelihood of a repetition there of such
an enormity.
A young lady from Chattanooga,
Tenn, suffering from consumption,
was induced to place herself in charge
of an aunt, who is an enthusiastic
disciple of the christian Science"
faith, as expounded at the Eddy col
lege in Boston. The so called doctors
told her that nothing was really the
matter with her; that her malady was
chiefly imagination, and that prayer
and faith i'll God were sure panaceas. "
She bore up heroicaliy and followed
the treatment to the letter. She helped
in the work round the house, did part
of the cooking, and got out of bed at
daybreak, all because her doctor SO
recommended. The unhappy invalid
used often to ask for something to eat
between meals, but this was strictly
forbidden. At lunch she frequently
asked for bit of meat and fowl, but
this was also strictly forbidden. To
wards the end she failed rapidly and
often said: In belief I'm dying. In
belief | have the most dreadful pains. :"
The day before the doomed girl died
she prepared her own breakfast Hel
aunt was away all the afternoon and
she slept alone that night.

A Financial Transaction.

A young man who is employed in
the office of a leading local architect
was greatly chagrined to discover,
when he reached home the other
night, that the conductor of an Indi-
ana avenue car had foisted uron him
a half dollar in which there was plug
half as large as the coin itself. He was
primarily Disguised at being made the
victim OF such palpable fraud, and
he declared his intention of handing il
back to the offending conductor, if
possible. Accordingly he timed the
mans car and boarded it on the fol-
lowing morning. That night he re-
turned home and proudly boosted that
his ruse had been successful and that
he had handed back the spurious half
whence it came. In proof of this he
exhibited the change, and among it he
was panied to discover a plugged
nickel which could not have deceived
a blind man. He resolved to give this
back to the same conductor, and the
next time he boarded his car he so ar.
ranged the nickel in his fingers that the
plug would not be conspicuous when
he handed it over. Just as the con.
ductor approached him, the man sit
ting at his left said Excuse me, sir
but see you have a nickel there: /
have a dime, and if you will give me
your nickel | will pay both fares" As
there was no visible way out of it, the
young man handed the plugged nickel
IN silence, but he went out on the
front platform and froze during the
rest of the trip, lest the stran ger

With water scarce and absent men

But this one has courage to do and dare
Marked out in every feature
Yet he Is the same, this hero brave,
The shiftless seeming stranger;
He careth not for Ieaping flames,
He cereth not for the danger.

A METROPOLITAN WILDCAT.

A City WON ana Remarkable Experience,
with q Strange Pussy.
A New York woman had an expert
ence few nights ago which she vii
not soon forget-one which. considering
, her environment, was very surprising
Her home Is a ground apartment, occu'
plying two floors, however, in one Of the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor, and In
this room she was seated one night
when q peculiar noise from the family
parrot, who was in his cage in an oppo-
site room, attracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted his cage covered, she
picked up a soft wooden couch cover
and started across the hall. At the
threshold of the second room she saw
| crouching on the top Of the parrots
cage a gray cat, which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in inclining
the cage almost to the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and
down the upper side in frenzy Of
fright. The unequal struggle could not
have lasted many seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis, though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance Of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner OF women, to "shoo" the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made spring at her,
and but for her quick movement Ia
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt Of the attack AS 1t
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass Of woolly material in
which he was enmeshed; then. aided by
the desperate push which the now ter
rifed woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. ------ recovered her senses and
cat then violently rang the bell for as
sistance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to a place of safety
In remote room, an attempt was made
TO dislodge the cat from the library. At
sight OF her pursuers the creature began
to rush about. jumping through brass
screen with force enough TO break it,
knocking over bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing rs II it were tree and run
ming out on the bare curtain pole. From
this high perch he gIared down at those
beneath him until Mr.. IS arrival
shortly afterward He was then prod
ded down and leaped through a window
opened for him to the pavement below,
darting off to the park as soon as ho
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with
Central park say that stray city cats
often find homes in its sequestered
hooks, growing wild and raising prog
eny that become almost as fierce and |
terrible as genuine wildcat. In this
instance the animal was doubtless driven
from its hannts by hunger, and, getting
In on the ground floor. was attracted up
stairs to the parrots cage by the scent
Of the bird and its food. --Her Point OF |
