Why the Herald Will be indie
pendent.

Relieving that there is fine field for
Independent journalism in this Valley,
the proprietor of the HERALD has deter
mined to conduct it as an independent
ransr. The effort will be to make it a
welcome visitor in home. Articles
of interest TO the home and family will
frequently appear. There Is evidently
cood future for this beautiful Shenandoah
VALLEY and Its development can be hasten
ed BY informing the people as to the vast
resources which have, for centuries, been
living dormant, while those Of other sec
tons have been fully developed and, in
some cases, entirely exhausted. Our
mountains, with their vast treasures OF
iron, manganese and other minerals will
soon be made to contribute to the wealth
and prosperity of the people. Our fertile
valleys haye not yet contributed their
share to the general prosperity.
The cultivation of such crops as yield
the largest return and the producing OF
snch stock as Is in demand and will
weld good profits are destined IN the near
future to rSvolutIonize many of the old
methods and bripg new life into the old
land.
In politics, the raper will be indepen-
dent of all parties aud factions of parties.
Questions of public interest will be fully
discussed and measures calculated to in
lure the condition or retard the prosperity
of our people will be freely ccndemnsds
The source of a measure is of small I'M
portance if II be good, wesshah favor it,,
if otherwise we shall not hesitate, to OPP
pose it.
The HERALD will look upon all officers
az servants of the people, and will favor
the selection of those who will best sub
serve the lnterest9 of our own section
and State.
The local news of the county will be
published in full. This department will
be under the charge of an experienced
and able local writer, while nearly all
sections of the county will be represented
by intelligent correspondents. We ask of
the public liberal share of their patron
age and pledge cur best efforts to make
the HERALD an acceptable and entertain
ing homo and fireslde companion.
The proprietor Of the HERALD desires 1t
to DO not only self-suppOrting, but to
afford support TO those who are de-
pendent upon il. 1t has been heretofore
literally supported by men of all parties
TO whom we here return our grateful
thanks for the kindness extended to u.s.
We shall, in the future, hope to make the
paper more acceptable to all. With In
creased circulation, the advantages Of the
HERALD as an advertising medium Will
be apparent to all.

A Blessing in Disguise.

If reports are correct the timber men OF
West Virginia, ard western Virginia and
MARYLAND have great cause to giye thanks
for the very severe weather of Dscem-
Der and January last, which stopped
tLeir operations almost entirely and
prevented them from earning aoy thing
on their invested capital for couple OF
months. The Manufacturers Record has
contained from time to time accounts OF
the ravages of the bark beetle in the
forest mentioned, and of tho trip of Prot.
Hopkins. of the Wost Virginia expert
ment station, TO Europe to secure a
parasite to. destroy this very damaging
insect which threatened the total
devastation Of the forests of the region.
Prof. Hopkins was successful in finding a
parasite, but Its efforts are as naught
compared With the reported effect OF the
cold weather. 1t is said that every beetle
and all their eggs have been killed, and
that the pest Is entirely destroyed If
this be true, and the statement is made by
responsible lumbermen, 1t means thous'
ands of dollars saved to timber owners,
for while the parasite was doing effective
service. it would have taken years to
have as Effectively done the work.

MISS IDA HEWITT To PULL THE THROTTLE
AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Miss Ida Hewitt, of Cairo, w. Va, who
is said to be the only female locomotive
engineer IN the world, has been engaged
by the Woman Commissioners Of the
Worlds Fair to run the first train over
the grounds on the opening day of the
great exposition. She will leave Cairo
for Chicago about a week before the open
ing day. She IS pretty girl and dur
ing the first trip of the engine will wear
the costume of a Spanish girl of the
fourteenth century. In reply to propo-
sition made to Miss Hewitt to become
member of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, it is reported that she re-
nlled that while she could not find it in
her heart to become a brother to them
she would be a sister as long as she lived
The commissioners are said to have had
great deal of trouble inducing her to run
the engine at the fair, as she shrank from
appearing as "a sort of freak"
The road upon which Miss Hewitt Is
now running regularly IS the Carlo and
Little Kanawha and is a feeder of the
Baltimore and Ohio at Cairo from the
lumber districts. 1t is owned mostly by
the girls father, a man Of wealth. HeT
calling does not seem to make her m
womanly. She is popular socially and

To the man who has grown Indifferent
to his family, or who IS not doing all
that he can tor the happiness of each
member thereof, l wish to say You are
wasting life's most precious opDortuni-
ties for good, and bringing to yourelt
bitterness where all should be sweet con-
tentment. Turn back to your loved ones
and try the power of gentle affection.
Once you were willing to make any
sacrifice to please the woman of your
choice by your solicitous attentions you
won her love; should you not in the
same way retain it and strengthen III l
am sure that there are very few who
would Intentionally wound their loved
ones. but gradually the "small, sweet
courtosies of life" are omitted, the tones
become more indifferent, the thoughts
drift away from loYe, and the fondest OF
all ties-that of perfect coniidence-is
broken. Go back TO the old ways. Meet
your wife and children with smiles and
kisses, and exert yourself to make them
happy, as you once did to please the
girl you were trying to win. If barriers
have been raised between you let no
time pass to have them removed
and establish bonds Of love that are
stronger than steel. No parent can az
ford to have his children stand aloof
with feeling that there is lack Of sym
PUTTY. Rather should there be that
companionship which invites the utmost
confidence and congeniality. believe it
is mistaken idea that this will encour-
age dsrespect, for the most cheerful and
beautiful service is the service of loye.-

Gov. McKinley's Misfortune.
New York Recorder, Rep


No moro pathetic figure has appeared
in our public life IN a long time than that
which Coy. Mckinley of Ohio now pre-
sents to the country. By the failure of a
business concern in which he was prac-
tically a passive partner this eminent
statesman finds his entire fortune, never
a large one, swept away. As scrupulously
honest as he was conspicuOusly able, Mr..
Mckinley came out of Congress as poor
as he entered it. His wife, who is an
invalid. now comes forward and turns
over her own little fortune, which came
to her as a legacy from her father and
amounts to about SO, 600, to hclp satisfy
the liabilities that have suddenly over
whelmed her husband
william Mckinley has given distln-
guished and valuable services to his coun-
try. but none that will reflect more credit
and honor upon him in history thar his
manly integrity in this the ssyerest ex-
perience of his life. The whole country
will expect that the people of Ohio Will
not allow him to be crowded to the wall.
In some way or other the helping hands
of his fellow citizens should 90 to his
rescue.

A movement it is said, will be placed
on foot to petition the Legislature to
enact law making wife beating a
whipping post offsnse in the State of

brought about by the fact that too many

ment to their better halves. SGch Law,
it is said. has had a salutary effect in
