chunqe of Teachers.


Several changes of teachers have
been made this week in the schools
OF this district.
Mrs. Ada Keplinger, first assistant
in the Graded School, resigned, and
Miss Bette Fawcett, who has been
connected with the schoolthe longest.
was promoted from second to first
assistant, and Mrs. Ida Neill was APP
pointed second assistant. Miss Ella
Kelsey retains her position over the
little ones, as her place would be very
hard to fill. The board were very re-
luctant to part with Mrs keplinger'
but could not refuse her request.
Miss Almira Markell has been APP
pointed teacher in the Lemen school
coax Grove, made vacant by the
resignation of Mrs. Ida Neil. All
these changes were mad without any
interruption in the school work.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDIToR-Two years ago and
again last year the friends of our
youth were successful In electing a
temperance council ticket, although
the saloon men made desperate eff
forts to win. Three years ago the
saloon men were successful on ac-
count of temperance men not voting
1t is plain a majority of our people
are opposed to these drunkardmak-
ing places, and when the vote is
brought out uniformly elect their
ticket. The time for the election is
at hand again, and SO far there
seems to be danger that our people
will again neglect to poll a full vote.
The saloon men are thus encouraged,
and no doubt are secretly planning
to take advantage OF our inactivity.
Do we do our duty in this matter
Should we not do our utmost each
year TO keep the saloon closed and
by so doing give the saloon men TO
understand there Is no hope for their
business in our fair town? Keeping
the saloon closed should be our first
object all the time. This spasmodic
way Of doing things is not to our
credit as a town. When once it is
understood by all that saloons will
not be tolerated we can discuss and
vote on matters of public improve
ment and select men for councilmen
for their qualifications instead OF Law
ing to devote all our energies each
year to fighting the whiskey business,
which does not bring profit to any
one outside Of the seller. They say
liquor is procured and drunk any
Way. There are stringent laws
against stealing. and because they do
not stop it absolutely consistently
they should ask for their repeal.
All honest men will admit that there
has been vast Improvement on our
streets during the last two Years over
the year preceding, when the saloons
were open. We know what an en-
shaving habit it is and how some
drinkers will go almost to the ends
of the earth to satisfy its cravings,
sacrificing wife, children, friends
ever, thing. We cannot hope to pre-
vent such from drinking il it is TO be
gotten anywhere in the land; but We
can keep closed the places that do SO
much to fasten this habit on our best
men; where our boys, our neighbors
boys, and youth attending our nor
NAL school are liable to contract the
abit. If we keep the saloons closed
the next generation will furnish less
drunkards than this. If we are hon
est we cannot delude ourselves with
the idea that we are opposed TO the
awful effects of whiskey and yet vote
to open the saloons. Let us do our
part to keep this source OF temptation
out of our town. Wives, mothers.
sisters, daughters and friends, do
YOUR part. You can do more than
you think if you will but exert your
selves though your influence with
those near and dear to you. Let us
be practical Pay our taxes, as re
ouired by law, on or before March LIST
and then vote like men. y.

FIRE at ch1riestown.

Fire at charisstown.
A disastrous fire, for Mr.. b. A.
Wolpert. says the Charlestown Adro-
cate, occurred last Wednesday night,
which resulted in the almost complete
destruction of his entire stock OF
goods which were in the O'Bannon
building on the corner Of Lawrence
and Main streets. The fire was dis
covered about twelve o'clock. The
Independent Fire Company promptly
responded aud succeeded in saving
the building, bet the entire interior,
with it's stock of goods, was COM
plete wreck. The origin of the fire is
unknown. Mr.. Wolpert estimates his
loss above his insurance at 1000.
The building was insured in the
Washington 81 Alexander agency for
5000. The stock was insured as fol-
lows: 500 in Washington & AleIan-
der agency. 800 with David Howell
and $500 with C. Frank Gallaher.

The Joke seems to be on the Charles
town lawyers. Last Thursday a very
distinguished committee of legal gen
tlemen left that place for Martinsburg,
there to consult with the Berkeley bar
concerning the appointment OF
Judge. While they were on the way,
however, news was received both at
Charlestown and Martinsbarg that
Mr.. Faulkner had been appointed.
The committee, In blissful ignorance,
went on 10 Martinsburg, where their
spokesman made an eloquent address
in favor of recommending the JEFF
ferson candidate for the place--the
speechmaking being done In Mr.
Faulkners office. When they were
told that the appointment had been
already made, even the lawyers had
nothing to say. They were stumped.
The committee that had made such a
brave show in the morning disinte-
grated. They struck for home by
many different routes, and when the
evening train on the Norfolk y West.
ern Railroad reached Charlestown
there remained only two men TO tell
the sad tale-the others were waiting
around until darkness set in. But
Captain Colston gave the two lone
members a royal reception. He had
the brass band to escort them into
the town to the tune of "Lo, the con
oueriug hero comes" IL is said they
faced the music like men, but it Will
not be an easy thing TO get another
legal delegation from Charlestown.

Bernard J. Schnitz, wealthy farm
err of Atkinson county, Kansas. went
TO Germany last November TO visit his
old home. immediately OH his arrival
in that country he was arrested for
deserving the German army thirty
wears before. The matter was placed
in the hands OF the United States
Minister in Germany, but all Efforts
TO secure his release appeared fruit
less. Schmitz' seleven-year-old daugh-
ter. however, wrote letter TO the
Emperor of Germany from her home
in this country, setting forth III child
isb manner the facts in the case. and
asking for his release Oh his birthday.
which came the 18th OF last month.
The letter reached the monarch on
the 9th, and he was so touched by II
that he issued a pardon for the de
serter and he is now on his way home.

Alliance Meeting at Aoier's.

There was very interesting meet
ing OF Moler's Alliance at Moler'S
Cross Roads last Friday, the occasion
being a dinner given by the Alliance
to visiting brethren and friends. The
ladies OF that section are famous Tor
their big dinners, and this one was
no exception. All the seasonable suo
staptials and delicacies were provided
in the usual abundance, and the
large crowd enjoyed the repsst great
ly. After dinner President ). NJ
Hendricks called the meeting to or
der. and Col. w. A. Morgan made a
speech OF welcome. Then Hon. Z. 1.
Butler was called upon for an sd-
dress, and responded in very earnest
talk to the farmers, holding their
closest attention for a half houror
more. Taken all in all, the meeting
was a thoroughly enjoyable as well as
a beneficial one, and we are sure that
the Moler's Alliance will continue 10
grow 10 popularity as long ss it Is the
means OF combining pleasure and
profit so admirably. The order Is
very strong there, and has in its
mem bership most Of the prominent

Henry Church, ST., a welI-known
citizen of Wetzel county, died at
Hundred last week, in the 9Sth year
of his age. Within a year his sister,
Sarah Sole, died Of cancer, at the age
of ninety-one years. They were the
children of Old Hundred and Ninety

during the war Of the Revolution.
He was not naturalized until he was
over one hundred years of age. he
deserted the British army and bought
a home in the mountain wilderness.
where the subject of the present
sketch was born, and where he lived
during the 90 years of his life. Old
Hundred lived TO be 112 wears OF age,
aud Ninety and Nine, his wife, lived
to be 100. The combined ages OF the
four. father, mother, son and daugter
were 41o wears. These are as remark
able cases of longevity in the same

world and the abundant yield n
America. It was confidently declared
that Europe lacked 900, 000, 900 bushels
OF Its ordinary requirements, and that its
available supply outside of the United
States could not exceed 100, 00e, 600
bushels. 1t was shown that out of its
abundant harvest this country could
easily spare 225, 900, 900 bushels, leaving
SO, 000, 900 bushels short of a adequate
supply, and thus creating a condi-
ton which must logically give rise to
famine prices. The other representa-
tons may have been strictly accurate,
and the various elements of the problem
may have been correctly stated. but the
logical sequence has not been realized.
The popularity OF the present market
situation lies in the circumstance that,
while the granary of eastern Europe is
under starvation conditions and most of
its countries are short of their usual food
supplies, the American farmer is getting
less for his wheat than he has done dur
ing the worst years of his recent expert
ence. Doubtless the caIculators greatly
moderated the wheat supplies available
from India and Egypt and in that way
arrived at an erroneous result. But in
all probability the chief fact overlooked
in reaching a wrong conclusion in this
case is that multitudeS of men in all
European countries have been out of
employment tins winter, and that men
out of work cannot and will not con-
sumo as much food as they do when en-
gagged IN prosperous occupations.

NEW ALLIANCE SCHEME.

The subtreasury scheme of the ALI
ance has been abandoned so it is under
| stood, for some time, but in its stead
another has been connected. or rather
the original one has been modified
somewhat, though it is rendered but
little less Objectionable by the modifica-
ton. The Alliance members of the
house held conference in Washington
city last Friday night The Post says
the conference considered the financial
situation, including the matter of silver
legislation. After some discussion bill
prepared by Representative Livingston
of Georgia, was, with some modification.
adopted unanimously, and will be intro
duced in the house at the first opportu
nifty. The bill provides as follows:
1.-The secretary of the treasury Is
authorized and directed upon the de-
mand of any state, expressed through its
governor, to issue to it full legal-tender
notes of the government OF like denomI-
nations a. the treasury notes now issued
and IN circulation, and nou-interest
bearing. These notes are not 20 exceed
in amount $50 per capita of tue popula-
ton of the state as expressed IN the
census preceding the demand.
1.-The state making a demand for the
notes is 10 deliver 10 the secretary Of The
treasury its lawful bonds to the full
amount of government notes demanded,
and such bonds are 10 be taxable az I
per cent per annum. said tax TO he
covered into the United States treasury
on or before the 1st day Of April OF each
year. The bonds are 10 fall due ct the
expiration OF twenty years. IL Is pro
vided. however, that the state taking
advantage Of the act shall have the right
10 turn over TO the secretary OF the !
treasury the full amount or any part ;
thereof Of government notes issued to u !
at any time before the bonds fall due, or I
in lieu Of the governEuent notes the /
state NAV redeem the bonds with lawful 1
monev. and when such notes are Eaid l
into the treasury they are TO he de-
stIoved.
Zach state through It's legislative de-
partment Is TO provide for the distribu /
ton Of the government notes issued .
upon securities furnished BIZ u on such 1
terms as the legislature may deem best
for the welfare OF the inhabitants.
There were between tweBty-fiv and |
thirty Inernbers OF the house present.
and Mr. Livingston saws there are
number Of other members who VIII sup
pert the measure.

tons prove propitious there is every
reason to believe that it will be this
season clearly shown that with proper
encouragement from the government,
the cane-sugar industry can be made to
greatly develop In this country. The
same earnestness ard activity has been
manifested in Nebraska, Colorado, Cali
fornia and other portions of the west, IN
the Development of the sugar beet.
Recent. meeting held in that interest IN
Denver and other places gave strong en-
enlargement to the idea that extra eff
forts will be put forth this season to
thoroughly test the conditions of soil
and climate for the successful and prof.
table production of the sugar beet. Elk
periments in sugar making from
sorghum cane at the government
stations in Kansas have demonstrated
that it can be done to profit and there is
little doubt that the industry will be
amplified this season beyond anything
hitherto attempted.

Some surprise has been expressed al
the constituencies gerrymander of Mis-
souri, by the state legislature al its recent
session, but it was sort Of grounding
case with the Democratic managers over
there. For instance, in 1876 FIVE Repub-
iicans occupied seats in the state senate,
and thirteen representatives were work
ing hard for the rights of the people in
the house. The present senate contains
nine Republican senator's, and the house
tifty-one representatives. Ii they had
put off tire gerrymander until after the
next general election il would have been
too late for them.
