Chiefly ustice Falier Writes a Love Lettes.
A few days ago having occasion to
consult his physician Chief Justice Full
Ter concluded instead of sending for him
to enjoy the short walk to his residence
and perhaps social little chat in the lat
ter's library. The door was opened for
him by new man, who after informing
him that the doctor was ont, but left
word he would shortly return, asked the
chief justice into the library to wait.
Wholly unaware Of the exalted posi-
ton in legal circles held by the quiet
gentleman with kindly CLEAN in his
eyes, the man soon presented several
sheets of ruled paper, a stamped envel-
ope, pen and inkstand to the chief JUS
tice. The chief justice looked up in
quiringly at the man. who, in evident
embarrassment, stood before him hold
ing the literary tools. Bashfully trip

stated the case, the man proffered the re
quest that the visitor. while waiting fo1

belonged in the high school and wasn't

She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession OF her classical mind.
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part Of
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, How awkward Of me-

Emmet Williams. who was born and
raised at Louisville, and well known
throughout this county, died on Thurs
day last at Hot Springs, Ark, whittier he
had gone for his health some two months

about 30 years of age. His family had
been notified of his dangerous condition,
and his brother reached him before his
death and was with him when the spark
of life went out. His remains were
brought home and the funeral took place

A Prize Fight.

Belmont county had another prize fight
early Tuesday morning. About two hun
dred toughs from Wheeling and vicinity
on Monday night ran down the river on
a steamer, and tied up to the West Vir-
ginia shore. Early in the morning they
crossed to the Ohio side, to Belmont
Park, where a fight took place between
two pugilists named HOwley and Bolen,
the latter winning in seventeen rounds.
The crowd took possession of the park,
which is private property, and in spite of
the protest of the owner, broke open a
house and took out chairs, etc. While
the boat was tied to the bank four men,
all of whom were drunk, fell into the
river and all narrowly escaped drowning
The affair was kept very quiet, and the
authorities on this side knew nothing OF
the fight until il was all over.

More Trouble.

The county commissioners and Charles
Rosser, the contractor on the West
Wheeling pike, are INTO a squabbIe now
that may result in law suit. Rosser has
a contract to grade and stone sixteen feet
of roadway. After he had graded it
the commissioners gave the electric rail
way the right of way over that road.
They built their line, and in some places
there are only about six feet left to the
side of the track, and no place is there
sixteen feet. Rosser is putting the stone
on only what is left of the wagon road,
and the commissioners arranged with the
electric people to stone their track at an
advance of 80 cents per yard over their
contract price with Rosser, but the latter
refuses to put stone inside the rails
until he is employed for the purpose, but
insists upon pay for the sixteen feet.

Make Pies of Them.

The little and lively English sparrow
is now fattening himself on wheat
Shocks of grain in fields near town are
literally covered with these busy little
gluttons, and it does not take them long
to take all of the wheat out of the shock
hooders. These birds just now when
they are rolling in fat, make delicious
pies, and it is now an easy matter to kill
hundreds of them, as they go in flocks.
Besides making good eating, their heads,
presented to the township clerk are
worth 20 cents a dozen.

Rapid Tax Paying.

Every tax payer who has been accus-
toned each time he paid his tax to be
compelled to wait his turn, must have
noticed the difference this year when he
was waited on at once, the whole trans
action requiring but moment. The
reason for this is the new system adopted
by Treasurer Archer. All receipts are
made out in advance, and it is only neces-
sary to tear out the receipt and receive
the money. By this method there is no
crush, as all who chance to come can be
waited on Immediately. Under the old
system people frequently had to remain
er's office late in the day.

we have sold the present season twice as
many goods as heretofore. We found il
absolutely necessary to duplicate some
styles and patterns, which places us with
a larger stock than we care to carry in

cut it down, we cut the prices from to

will well repay the attention of every
one. Remnants of Carpet, and single

Stood Twelfth.

Lieut. d. NJ. King, of the United States
Army, is now at his home at Smyrna on
a three and one-half months graduation
leave. Lieut. King graduated at West
Point in June, standing twelfth in class
of fifty-one. In accordance with his
rank in class he has been assigned to the
artillery sevice and stationed at Wash
ington, d. C. Since 200 boys entered at
West Point in Lieut. Kings class and
only 81 succeeded in graduating, his high
standing is source of pride to the people
of this congressional district, from which
he was appointed.
