Trouble Over the Cormanta Post
cftice.
On April 18th inst, George W.
Moon, postmaster at Gormania, was
removed, and l.. l.. McCrum APP
pointed in his stead. The charges
against ex-Postmaster Moon were
that he was resident of Mary
land and could not hold the Office
in West Virginia, When it became
known that Mr.. McCrum had been
appointed a genuine postoffice war
was declared against him. Petitions
have been gotten up and unani-
mously signed, asking the Postofiice
Department to remove Mr.. McCrum
and appoint s. c. Baker. The
charges against Postmaster McCrum
are many, and to designate them
would require several columns, hence
they are withheld for the present.
Mr.. McCrum was appointed upon
Endorsement of John W. Mason,
United States Internal Revenue
Collector, VIM. NJ. o. Dawson and
Others of West Virginia. These
gentlemen are being severely criti-
cized by the patrons of the office
and the public generally. Many
good Republicans say they will
never vote the Republican ticket
again il McCrum is retained in the
office. Some will not 90 to the of.
flee at all, Others mail their letters
on the train. Mr.. McCrum does
not reside here himself but is in
business at Washington, u. c. The
office is left in charge of an assist
ant, whom the people also object to-
The people declare McCrum shall
not hold the Office, and are prepared
to fight to the end.
Postmaster McCrum's removal is
looked for at an early date.

Sunse: Cox in 1880.

"The first time | ever saw Samuel
Sullivan Cox. known as Sunset Cox
was in 1850" said Thomas Ruick to a
St. Louis Chronicle reporter.
Il was then superintendent of
bridges on the national turnpike in
Ohio and Cox was making tour of
taverns on the road delivering political
speechS.
The turnpike in those days was the
great highway Lrtwecn the East and
the West. 1t was thronged night and
dav with teams from every part of
Ohio. and country taverns. with big
wagon wards, were located ten miles
apart.
Every night these taverns were
crowded with teamsters and travellers
and Cox spoke 1T every one of them,
beginning at the Indiana line and end
ing at the Pennsylvania border.
Mr.. Cox was a Young slip ola fellow
with real dudish ways, but his speech
es were so inexpressibly funny that lie
captured the hearts OF the rough team
sterS. who carried his fame to every
part of the state, and as long as he
lived they were always his solid
friends.
"Ex-Governor Allen once made q
tour of those taverns and made friends
that stood by him for wears. and have
no doubt bat that that influence still
existed and aided in clecting him gov
ernor thirty years later"

The Lawyers Ghost.

A lawyer and a bishop (perhaps the

talk:

vinced." said the lawyer, "of the exist

Dear me-" exclaimed the bishop.

lawyer. 1T was between the hours of

by a strange creaking noise: 1t sound
ed as if some one was walking up
stairs! The steps sounded nearer and
nearer, slower and slower; solemn and
measured they were, and presently
they halted at my door. | drew the
sheet over my head, and lay there
trembling, not daring to move.
"Something, continued the lawyer,
"entered my room, and | threw the
sheet over my face. | felt rather
than saw faint yellow glimmering
light. | could not move at first, but |
presently managed to gain a little
courage. | drew the sheet cautiously
down from my face, and looked"
well" cried the bishop, eXcitedly.
"In the center of the room," said the
lawyer, slowly, 'stood tall old man.
He seemed gaunt and worn with age
or hunger, and his long gray beard
hung half way down his breast. He
was dressed in queer loose cloak with
a cape. and he wore a broad leather
band about his waist. In one hand he
held peculiarly shaped lantern, from
which flowed the yellow light, making
strange ghostly shadows on the wall
behind him. In the other hand he
held staff. the look of which was un-
pleasant. He stood still in the middle
of the floor, looking at me. Presently
| said, Whence art thou? What dost
thou require?"
"And what did he say?" cried the
bishop, fixing his eyes upon the odd
expression of the lawyers face.

A RAILROAD.CAR HOG.
He Got a Lesson in Courtesy Which Will
Probably Do Him Good.

The smoking-car of the local train
from Bozeman yesterday evening was
the scene of a little unpleasantness,
which might have been worse had it
not been for the excellent judgment of
one of the parties to said unpleasant
ness, SAYS the Butte (Mont.) Miner
From information it seems that a
woolly man from Root-Hog-or-Die
gulch was occupying a whole seat with
his feet and body, while the company
usually figures on two bodies to each
and reserves the floor for the feet.
The car was well filled with passen-
gers, and, notwithstanding the man
had been asked to remove his pedal
eXtremities so that some one not
afraid of wool might sit beside him, he
refused to do so. At one of the little
gulch stations, however, cowboy got
on the train, and, seeing all the seats
occupied save the one in which the
woolly man was sitting, he approached
and asked him to move his feet and
make room for lnild-mannered
vaquero of the Gallatin valley.
"Now, I'll be id if | do" snarled
the woolly man. Them feet is going
to stay right whar they is, partner,
and don't you forget it. And with
the remark he dropped both heels up
on the cushion to emphasize his re-
mark.
Take 'em off. sonny" said the cow
boy, land make room for your Uncle
Fuller" and as the last words fell he
showed the feet on the floor and fur
ther informed the woolly man that he
would keep his company to Butte. In
the next instant, however, the cowboy
was looking down the muZzle of as big
a gun as ever entered the confines of
Montana, but quicker than flash he
caught and wrested the gun from the
woolly man and began tattoo on his
head with it. After hitting him sew
eral times he placed the muzzle of the
weapon in the mans right ear and
asked him if he thought they could
both sit in the same seat. Being an
swered mildly in the affirmative, he
coolly pocketed the weapon and TOOK a
seat, while the woolly man watched
the blood flow from his wounds and
drop in great slabs on the floor. As
described by a passenger who witnessed
the affair, the car after the battle look
ed like Il ughter-house, but the man
got what he was looking for.

BUYING A HAT.
Only the Lady Did Not Buy, but Would
Call Again.

1t was in millinery store on Sixth

and bonnets in plain sight, but as she

ware store, but she didn't. and | gave

stuck up her nose at herself in the

The second hat was a coy and bash
full affair and for five minutes the lady
tried to make herself think it carried
her back to her girlhood. No use.

She brought out hat trimmed with
leathes-colored ribbons. 1t was a per-
feet match, but the lady was only
seven minutes deciding that her huS-
band wouldn't like her in that hat.
Then she tried little black hat on
her left ear. Seemed at first to have
hit the mark, but soon grew despond-
ent.
Next came hat which covered both
ears. Thought for awhile that it might

not.

Any person knows that if an engineer

Why will people not reason, as well
regarding the cause Of lost power, or

An interesting discovery mas been made
by DR.. Shoop regarding the cause of
chronic diseases.
He has found that certain nerreS have
complete control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs.
These organs convert bread, meat, po-
tatoes, etc, which are the only blood
makers, into blood, bone and muscle, and
when these nerves are weak or exhausted,
these organs fail, and dyspepsia, bilious
ness and prostration Of strength results.
