OF THE PROPHETS

Not satisfied with their thunder and
tightening bluster, information has reach
ed the BEE office to the effect that the
editors of the AMERICAN has predicted
the death of the BEE.
The BEE has Eever made thunder and
tightening promises of what it intended
to do nor has it ever asserted that it
would start with $4,000 dollars capital
and then go from door to door and ask
the people to take five dollar share in
stock. This same method was resorted
to in Indianapolis and when the manager
was heard from he had taken flight by
the moon light and from what the BEE
has been informed the people of India
napolis will be satisfied if one tenth of
the money loaned to this knight of the
quill was returned.
About twelve years ago, at which time
the present editor assumed MANAGEMENT
Of the BEE poetic prophet predicted in
senseess verses the death of the BEE
and the lite of its adversary, but, as mis-
fortune soon seized the latter it died an
ignominlous death.
Subsequently several more mushrooms
sprung, some had both brains and money
SO they asserted; while some others claim
to have the earth with fence around it.
by some means pig broke off one OF
the rails of this fence and entered and
left the BEE on the outside still strue
Cling for Journalistic honors. Before the
pig came out, the thunder and buster
temple had fallen to the ground and the
BEE alone was left to chronicle the
distinctions.
For the benefit of the prophets of the
AMERICAN, the editor of the BEE begs
leave to inform them that the BEE does
not depend on five and ten dollars dona-
tions to keep it alive.

The JOURNAL regrets to learn that
A. w. Rudulph, who has leng been one
OF the editors of the Sentinel has sold his
interest, and has said farewell to the
readers of that paper. There has al
ways been very warm friendly feel
ing between Mr.. Rudulph and the
present editor of the JOURNAL, and we
can truly say we very much regret that
Bro. Rudulph has retired from the edi-
torial staff OF the Sentinel. He has
said all the mean things about US he
could; he has cracked jokes at our ex-
pense whenever he felt inclined. but
never intended any harm, and was al.
ways friendly and ever ready to do a
favor II he thought it was desired. AS
\ writer he was far above the average;
he could write the meanest and the
sweetest articles; he could rub you up
or down in such IN easy and polite way
that one had to admire MIN regardless
OF which way the rub came, and here
after when we read the Sentinel and
miss the items we know he would have
written it will seem like the loss OF a
dear friend-one who is gone--we hope
not forever. Wherever you go. dear
boy, may happiness and success be
yours. Mr.. Hoffa, the new member OF
the Sentinel firm is a thorough news
paper man and gentleman OF ability
who will make many friends In Wood
county. Nj. p. Brewer continues as
editor-in-chief, with Mr.. Vail as city
editor, and the Sentinel will continue
ON its road to success.

The first persons to appear at the
first days hearing before the Ways
and Means Committee were the repre-
sentatives OF Bermuda farmers who
want the duty removed from farm pro-
ducts. They represented that the
farmers there had suffered from the
protective tariff duties they have had
to pay before being allowed to sell In
our marRet. Such testimony was
rather staggering to the Free Trade
members Of the Committee who had
maintained all along that the consum-
or pays all the tax.

his craft. He always carries II jug of
milk for refreshment when on cruise
and after taking drink he accidental
ly dropped the jug and u quantity of
the mil k was spilled overheard. Just
ut that time an immense black snake
was seen swimming out from the shore
and was attracted to the spot evidently
intent upon getting some of the milk,
and approached the boat it's head
elevated about four inches above the
water. Mr.. Glegg seized long piece
OF line, arranged II slip moose in the end
and lassoed the snake, which attempt
cd to get away but large lump, evil
IDENTIFY caused by something chad swal-
lowed, prevented the snakes body from
through the rope, and in it's
effort to escape it lowed the boat to
shore, where the serpent was soon dis
patched by the use of club. 1t meas
ured IA feet in length and 10 inches In

years. His parents had died when he
was four years old and his sister was
ten. lie was taken to Kansas and the
sister staid to battle with the world in
West Virginia. From that time until
few days ago they lost all trace Of
each other. When the brother reached
Moundsville last TALL he found very
few old people who remembered some;
thing about the family, but could find
no trace OF his sister. He resorted to
advertising, and after many weeks sue
ceeded in getting clue. Following 1t
up he found that the sister alter grow.
ing to womanhood had married
and was living in Cincinnati,
but in that city all trace OF the missing
sister was swallowed up and the dis
heartened brother returned TO Mounds
vile and went to werk for Mr.. IL. II.

ever finding his only sister. Last Fri
day evening when the train from
Chicago pulled into Moundsville station

of bystanders II they knew OF young

and the sister, for such the lady proved
to be, was soon at Mr., Cox's, and the

may be better imagined than described.
