DEATH CONQUERED AT LAST. =
MARTINsBURG, w. VA, August
22.-The life of Henry Bales, a
resident of this city, who was
killed at Brunswick and buried
here yesterday, was a chapter of
accidents and near approaches
to death. About three years
ago, while assisting in the dig
ging of a grave, he was struck
on the head with pick. His
skull was fractured, and for
weeks his life was despaired of,
but he recovered. A few months
afterwards he attempted to board
afreight train and fell, having an
arm cut off, and was injured seri-
ously and, it was thought, fatal
ly, about the head and body.
After lying for several weeks,
he finally recovered, and went to
work at Brunswick. A few
days after, a log rolled off a
freight car, knocking him down
and falling on his back, inflict-
ing internal injuries, from which
it was supposed he would die.
But he managed to stay the enc
my, and recovering resumed
work, and had been engaged
with the company about ten
years when he met with the last
and fatal accident on Thursday
night.

aIf General Stevenson could
produce even one little bit of a
speech or public utterance made
by him in 1868 or '64 in favor of
"a vigorous prosecution of the
war for the Union, or sustaining
the hands of Abraham Lincoln,
loyal people may forget, or be-

their firm recollection that in 1868

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET

In view of the many rash deeds
of violence narrated daily in the
papers, and the general habit of
carrying deadly weapons and the
threats of violence so freely ut
tered by a large element of
young and irresponsible people,
we feel it our duty to call the at
tention of all such to the great
difference between reckless acts
and threats and rendering salts
faction to law and justice. Take
any of the cases of murder in
the courts of this State and see
what trouble, what expense,
what an awful penalty, the use
of deadly weapons brings to all
concerned. Remember it is bet
ter to give than to take, better
to be shot than to shoot. Think
of yourselves, your parents and
friends and the majesty and Sc
verify of the law and resolve
never to carry a concealed weap-
on. Thousands and millions have
gone through this world, through
danger and excitement, and new
er carried a revolver never
hurt anyone and never We're
hurt themselves. In this age and
country it is safer to be unarmed
than to be armed. Boys and
young men, if you carry weap-
on, stop it. What has happened
to others may happen to you.
In sudden excitement and anger
you don't know what you do,
but the law holds you RESPONSE
bic and allows no excuse for ig-
nOrance or excitement. Life is
not your own. You can never
restore it. Whiskey, bad char
acters andrevolvers, are the great
curses of the age.

The papers of w. Va. are pub
fishing some of Senator Faux
ner's campaign remarks in the
Interior" Here are a few
samples.
Lie No. l plain to every man
with eyes to see in Martinsburg:
eve have come from being
the best dressed people to the
worst in the world"
Lie No. >, for coffee is on the
free list:
"There is not one thing that
you eat, unless raised on your
farm, that is not taxed. Even
the cup of coffee you raise to
your lip is taxed 65 per cent"
Lie No. 3, for many of the
leading colored Republicans of
the South and white leaders of
the North were not for Harrison.
Harrison was nominated by
colored delegates from the south
and office-holders from the
north. "
Lie No. 4 for he can buy all
the American tin he wants and
steel can now be bought at 2
cents a pound where imported it
cost Z, as any machinist can
testify.
81 assert to you that there is
not one sheet of tin plate made
in the United States. Not even
one sheet of steel"
Lie No. 5, the Democrats made
the w. Va. laws themselves and
hold most of the offices, so if the
laws are in sufficient or unenforc-
ed it is their own fault. Besides
marshals never were at the polls
or about the valleys in w. Va.
except in the CieUeland election.
eff those marshals should go
about your valleys, shooting
your men and debauching your
women, there is not no law un-
der the sun whereby they could
be arrested and brought to jus
tice."
He forgets to tell that under
the Mckinley tariff law sugar is
20 lbs. Of the best for 81, tin
pals and cups given away with
"every 25 cts. purchase" and
the tobacco and cigar license
abolished. In this State the
Democrats are piling on the
taxes and licenses.
