Negontatogue Tribe No. 161 met at their
wlgwam last Wednesday night. The
new chiefs were raised TO their stumps
by Deputy DuBoise. Several of the OFF,
GERS were off to the Highlands and Con-
sequeutly the meeting was rather slow.
Sachem Bagley made a good start In his
new office, II everything looks prospsr-
Gus tor this tribe during The coming fall.
IL Is generally expected that before next
Cold Moon The membership Will reach
the 200 notch. After the hot weather has
passed the meetings will be more gener-
ally attended.
Senior Sycamore Seth Purcell carries
the ritual constantly now. He intend> to
surprise the members at the next adop-
ton.
The trustees of Negontatogue have been
missing quite frequently lately. Seeing
that they form the Finance Committee
this is serious. and means IL neglect OF
business.
Henry Forbes, is now Guard of the For
est OF Negoutatogue. He's a good one.
Negontatogue's former Guard of the
Forest is unable TO follow the hunt, and
will be ION the list" tor some time. h
boys miss him..
Prophet Row We was missing from Ne
goatatogus's last meeting.
Bro. ChriSty McCabe is one of Negonta-
togue's silent workers, but he gets there.
CommunIpaw Tribe had a great time
last night. A raising Of chiefs and a
meeting Of hayInakers all in one night
was something extraordinary. 1t is ru-
mored that sone of the Iud ans have net
reached home yet. Bro. Craig is in part
responsible for this. He always makes 1t
n point to issue Invitations to the bucks
and sqra Tvs to be Oh hand when theIe is
anything on, and those who accept them
wish Trey hadn't.
Masse equt Tribe should shake itself
up Il lutte and get doynt to business. There
are splendid opportunities opeI to the
memb rs OF this Tribe. OUT at the Present
time tney are W ,sted In petty discussions.
Past SacAem Forsyth is one of the best
Red mrn IN the State, and 1t seems
strange thlt he rannot do something to
boom Massep qua a.onR and place her
where she ought to be-the queen tribe
OF the Hill.
The Order is growing rapidly lately.
and there is hardly a tribe in the county
or State that is not increasing It's mem-
bership at every meeting. The b1netts
of he Older are proporLonately among
the best to be offered to the workingman,
aud the soc ability is all that is desired {.
Red Men now rank as Que of the fore
most benevolent organizations of the
country. and statistics prove the fact to
the do .btful Thomases.
Winona Tribe is holding its own in
good shape and advancing every once in
a while.
High Rock has nothing to kick about
and Is proud of it's success. 1t has a good
field and with a little hustling would do
far better. There are plenty of palefaces
outside the wigwam in the vicinity OF he
Five Corners who are too glad to gain
a mission, but who await the runners
welcome.

The TinnIafe Sifnntion.


The Tinplate Manufacturers As
ISOLATION of the United States will
meet in st. Louis about the middle
of January. December 9 was the
day originally assigned, and the
rumor is that the convention was
postponed until the result of the
result of the fight for the Speaker
ship could be determined, as the
tinplate manufacturers were medi-
tating the passage of bill raising
the duty on tinplate another cent.
A member of the Niedringhausc
family of 81; Louis admits that there
has been some talk of this increase,
but he asks with much force what
chance a bill to such an effect would
have in this Congress.
1t must be admitted that if the
future of the American tinplate in
dustry depends upon an increase of
the duty, its immediate outlook is
not promising. In the meantime
the New York importers are taking
options in Welsh plate in evident
anticipation of further rise in
prices. Charles Knight, a large
buyer of tinplate, tells the st. Louis
Republic that even with the present
tariff foreign tinplatc can be laid
down in the Now York market
cheaper than American plate can be
made. Mr.. Knight agrees with
other people who from the first
have maintained that certain Penn
sylvania manufacturers are at the
bottom of the whole tinplato agita-
ton, their purpose being, not to
establish the tinplate industry in
the United States, but by discourage
ing the use of tinplate to increase
the demand for the product of their
own mills as a substitute for it.
The Tinplate Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION of the United States has
80 members, which one would think
would be enough to make some i'm
preston on the market, but it is
still asserted by large consumers of
the article that the tinplate in mark
etablc quantities is not mannfac-
tured in the United States. = Register.

The Manufacturers Record. pre-
sents some interesting statistics con-
corning the coal and coke produc-
ton in West Virginia during the
year 1891, and says:
"West Virginia has been the
scene of great activity in coal and
coke operations during the past
year, and the number of new COM
panies organized leads all the other
States"
The figures show an increase over
the preceding year of 2, 1855, 1884 tons
of coal and 572, 225 tons of coke, the
coke product having more than
doubled in a single year. The
mines in operation during 1S9O-01
numbered 10, employing 1878
men. At the close of the year there
were Ally completed coke ovens
and TT under construction.

Ex-senator Hereford Dead.


Hon. Frank Hereford died at his
home in Union, Monroe county, at
II o'clock Monday night, December,
2lst, the victim of pneumonia. Ow-
ing to the lack of Geographic COM
munication between Union and the
outside world, the news of his death
did not reach the general public un-
til the next day. Mr.. Hcreford's

wholly unexpected

Union, Monroe county, this State,
where he made his permanent home.
He was elected to Congress as a
Democrat to represent the then 3rd
district in the ADD Congress over
John S. Witcher, the Republican
candidate. He was reelected to
the 43rd Congress, having for his
competitor this time, J Brisben
Walker. Republican, of Charleston,
in August, and was again elected to
the same Congress in October of the
same year, against John S. Swami,
of Charleston, Independent, (there
being a dispute as to the lawful
time for holding the election.0 He
was elected to the 44th Congress by
vote of 1854 against his Repub-
lican competitor John S. Witcher,
who received only 1915 votes. lie
served in the House of Representa-
tives from March 4. 1871, to Janu-
airy 81, 1877, when he was elected a
member of the United States SEN
ate to ill vacancy occasioned by

sick list for the past two week with
la Cripple, but is now convalescent.
Christmas and new years day
passed off very quietly at. this place
and we are pleased to say there was
no drunken fights as of yore.
The stonework of our new bridge
across Thirteen mile Creek, is COM
pleted, and the iron will be placed
in few days. When the structure
is completed the Leon people can
justly boast. of having the neatest
and most substantial bridge in the
county. Much credit is due Mr.. w.
e. Mason, who has superintendent
the work, for his untiring efforts
toward the completion of the job.
He came among us from Marietta,
Ohio, about October the 10th, per-
feet stranger, but by his honest and
pleasant mode of dealing, has won
the respect Of the entire people of
this vicinity. AS a bridge builder
Mr.. Mason understands his business
thoroughly. Owing TO his impaired
health lac will spend couple of
weeks with friends at Marietta.

The relations of this country with
Chill are still somewhat strained.
1t is said that the president intends
to lay the matter before congress
next week, in a message, and that
all correspondence will be submitted
for the consideration of the Foreign
Affairs committees of the two houses.
The question of arbitration may
arise, and if Chill proposes to arbi-
trate that course will be pursued.
Up to this time no apologies or re-
grets have been offered for the
murder of the American sailors of
the cruiser Baltimore, though the
CHILEAN minister at Washington,
Montt, has spoken of the affair as
"deplorable" Unless Chill, through
her new administration, apologies
and makes PREPARATION, or asks for
arbitration, there is a chance for
hostilities at no distant day. The
United States cannot afford to be
outrageously insuIted and not re-
sent it.

Nothing shows the solidity of
West Virginia's boom more clearly
than the railroad construction GO
ing on within our borders. In 81
it amounted to 1912 miles. There
are but three States, Georgia, Penn
sylvania and Washington, which
exceeded this record. There are al
ready in sight 2O6 miles to be built
this year. Owing to the topogra-
ply of the State railroad building
in West Virginia is difficult and cx-
pcnsiye, and this record shows the
value of our mines and forests in
the estimation of capitalists and
practical men, and the extent of our
unsurpassed natural wealth. This
development, which has practically
only begun, will increase as it pro-
ceeds. There is a glorious future in
store for the Mountain State.
