The constant demand of the travel
ing public to the far West for COM
Portable and at the same time an eco
nomical mode of travelling has led to
the establishment of what is known
as Pullman Colonist Sleepers.
These cars are built on the same
general plan as the regular first-class
Pullman Sleeper, the only difference
is that they are not upholstered.
They are furnished complete with
good comfortable hair mattresses,
warm blankets, snow white linen,
curtains, plenty of towels, combs,
brushes, ETC., which secure to the oc-
cupant of a berth as much privacy as
is to had in first-class sleepers.
There are also separate toilet rooms
for ladies and gentlemen, and smoking
is absolutely prohibited. For full in
formation send for Pullman Colonist
Sleeper Leaflet. E. L. Lomax, Gen.

Fired on the Cooley Gang.

The notorious Cooley gang visited
the homestead of Jacob Prinkey, a
we'll do farmer living near Glib
bon's Glade, close to the West Vir-
ginia State line, Saturday evening,
about 8 o'clock. Prinkey, his wife,
their son, aged 25, and a little grand
daughter were sitting in the house
when the robbers entered. The son
drew a revolver from his pocket and
as five masked men entered the
room with revolvers in their hands
he fired. Before he could fire a
second time he was seized, but his
shot hit two of the inttuders, rasp-
ing the arm of one and entering the
breast of another, whom Prinkey
thinks was Frank Cooley.
The robbers carried their wounded
comrade outside and poulticed his
wound, first binding all the Prinkeys
fast to chairs. After they had
dressed the wound of their ccmpan-
ion they searched the house
thoroughly, securing $40 in money,
several revolvers and a Winchester
rife. Sheriff Mccormick Of Fayette
has not. as any one knows of made
any greater effort to capture the
thieves since the Prinkey episode

Mr. Cleveland's Pension Record.

Mr.. Cleveland holds that the
pension roll should be "a roll Of
honor" and there is no true soldier
who will dispute with him on this
point. Because Mr.. Cleveland
vetoed about $50 plainly fraudulent
claims in patriotic endeavor to
preserve the honor of the pension
roll there was, and is yet, sent from
Republican headquarters flood of
Misrepresentation, regarding his
motive. Mr.. Cleveland never We
toed an honest private pension bill
and he signed more than twice as
many as did any of his predecessors
as the following table will show:
Lincoln - ~ "A
Johnson ..-..-,, -,,.......... AL
Grant q years. ................ 536
Hayes "a years. ................. 1924
Arthur A years. ..,,,.....,... FOG
Cleveland a years. ....,.....,. / 1926
Republican friends could send
this little table to Actor Sheridan,
so that distortion of Cleveland 8
record would not occur again as il
occurred in Morgantown last week,
but they are in this case as in every
thing else not anxious for the truth
and therefore they won't send it.

very largely of Eastern origin, and
its farmers are industrious, thrifty

a rich soil, easily cultivated and very
productive. 1t is seven times as
large as Massachusetts, and has a
third larger population. 1t is an

his actions to tho form | wished them

they would certainly do me no harm,
and 1t was at least certain that my
opinion was respected, 50 that / might
hopo that some weight would attach to
whatever suggesto.s / offered.
Nothing now remained TO be done
but TO wait the result OF events; but nc
language can express an idea OF my
anxiety ~ tho hours passed, bringing
us mOmrntarily closer to the dreaded
and yet wished-fUr issue.

closely and found that she fully under.

sky an intense blue, aud the wind very

one man 70 dearwIth. What put this
matter into my head was yarn read
some time ago about n ships company
wishing TO leave their vessel. There
we're only two boats which were service
able, and these wouldn't hold above
two-thirds Of the crew. So the men
con spire1 among themselves-do you
understand mc?"
"Ycs, yes, I'm a-followin' Of you"
THAT Is, twelve men out of crew
composed Of eighteen hands resolved
20 lower the boats and get away, and
leave the others 10 shift for themselves
But they had to actcauliously, because,
don't YOU see. the fellows who were 20
be left behind would become desperate
with the fear of death. and II any Of
them cOntriycd to get into the boats
they might begin fight, which, II 1t
didn't capsize the boats, was pretty
sure to en- in n drowning match. OF
course, in our case, rs have said, even
surprising you had made up your mind
to leave The steward behind, we should
have nothing to fear, because he
would be only one man. But when
YOU come 30 two, or three, or four men
driven mad by terror, then look out, II
they got among you In a boatl for fear
will make two ~ strong as six, and
shouldn't like to be in the boat where
such fight was taking place"
"Well, but how did them other chap,
manage as you 70 tclIin' about2"
"Why, they all got into the boats IN
lump, and showed of well clear Of
the ship. The others jumped into the
water after them, but never reached
the boats. But all this doesn't hit oui
case. You wished me to explain, and
now you know my reasons for asking
you how you meant to manage with
the boats. DO not forget that there IL
