If ever q commonwealth needed

them now. With paralysis fasten-
on one of the chief industries, q
spirit Of discomfort and apprehen.
sion brooding over town and ham
let and a deep set conviction that
there is something radically wrong
at the fountain head ofgovernment,
the people have dropped into a
sullen mood that BODIES untold
evils. At this timc it behooves
the state press to be unusually dis
Greet. It's best efforts should be
employed in allaying the general
disquietude. An alarmist now is
little less than an enemy to the
state. The present shadow will
suon be dissipated and the people
of Idaho will emerge from the
gloom strengthened and renewed.
The great bulk of our population
is made up of sturdy patriotic
material. The people love their
state and venerate their couutyy-
they must not for moment forget
their duty. They must remember
that in this crisis the eyes of thu
world are upon them, and mon
archs and autocrats everywhere art
gleefully anticipating fulfillmen'
of their oft repeated predictions
that republics are inherently weak
and evanescent, and must sooner
or later succumb to internal dis
sentions. Idaho, the younges,
state in the galaxy, should TAX
a peculiar pride in disprovinp
those unhappy representations
She should show to the world thai
| Americans under all conditions
are capable and worthy Of self
government. There is a peaceful
and lawful way of solving political
questions and that is the only in
telligent and honorable way.
Those who talk of blood and vic
lence are given over to in muder-
GUS frenzy that 10 barbarous and
utterly un.American, and those
who stimulate such talk in times
like these are at heart traitors.
This should be impressed upon the
heart and mind Of every man in
the state. Popular government il
fundamentally based on the prin.
ciple of majority rule, and the
existence Of our nation depends or
peaceful submission, however dis
tressing, of the minority. Ths
majority may be often ct fault, bu'
the science Of popular government
cannot recognize that principle
Theoretically it is q probability

people of this state are u1fort

if their cause is just, sooner Of

condemn them for giving way under
such provocation. That was no

PROBABLE MURDER.
Shot for Twenty Dollars and a Bottle

The news was brought here yes
derday of the probable fatal shoot
ing of Jack Kinney, aged about As
years, at Stnrm's Hollow, near Luth-
er, on the Fairmont, Morgantown d
Pittsburg railroad and Is miles
south of Morgantown. From the
meagre information TO be had it APP
pears that Kinney, the victim, and
George Kerns, coke drawers at the
ovens near Luther. were going up
the hollow when Kerns, who is a
young man and an all around tough,
attempted to rob Kinney of $40 and
pint of whiskey. Kinney resisted
and Kerns pulled his revolver and
fred three shots in rapid succession,
one ball struck Kinney above the
heart and ranged downward through
his lung and could not be located by
the doctors. There is no hope of his
recovery although he was able to
tell all about the shooting.

shooting and dispatches have been
sent out in all directions giving de

Ex. SHERIFF CURTIS ARRESTED.
His Bondsmen Accuse Him Of Embez-
zling $15, OO0-Sent to Jail i'm
Default Of SO. 900 Bail.

WELLsBURe, w. Va, July pa
very sensational phase in the Curtis
failure took place this morning when
Constable Joseph McHenry arrested
j. L. Curtis upon warrant, charg-
ing him with embezzling $4,000 of
the county's money. The warrant
was sworn out by S. George, Robert
Scott, John Gibson, L. Walters, II.
Zilliken and Walter Cowans, being
all of his bondsman but two and
they were WP.Cowans and LC. APP
plegate who were not in the city. This
action of the bondsmen was brought
about by Curtis refusing to account
for the money that he owes to the
county. So far he has given no sat
isfactory account of his shortage and
the bondsmen took this plan to en-
deavor to save themselves. He was
brought before Justice G. w. Rus
sell at 6 O'Clock this evening, and by
his attorney, j. b. Sommerville, waiv-
ed examination and asked that the
bail be not excessive, as large bail
was likely to prejudice public senti
ment against him. Justice Russell
stated that as six responsible men
had preferred charges against him,
and having no other evidence in the
case, and since the amount charged
was so large that he would fix the
the bail at $4,000. Mr.. Curtis was
not prepared to furnish the bond and
he was committed to Jail to await
the action of the circuit court Mr..
Curtis, when seen by a reporter,
would make no other statement than
he was innocent of the charges. He
seems very detected and it is hoped
that he may yet be able to account
for the shortage.

To Bring Young Men to the University.

Several members of the faculty of
the University will do some personal
work in various parts of the state
this summer with the view of Undue
ing students to attend the Universe
ty. This is certainly a wise and
timely move. 1t should have been
commenced long ago There are in
the state at least five thousand young
men who ought to be in colleges or
academies. Near one thousand of
them should be in the University.
1t is by far the best institution of
learning ever in the state or the best
that can be for many years. Tuition
is free and to a large proportion
those who have appointments as ca
dets-these is no expense for books
and stationery. The cost of living
in Morgantown is cheap. The in
struction is as near perfect as in any
of our American colleges, hence the
advantages are the very best our
state affords. Very many young
men go from West Virginia every
year to colleges in other states.
They receive no better instruction,
they are farther from home, their ex-
penses are greater, and on the whole
it is losing business for them as
well as discredit to their native
state. The chief reason for this is
simply the fact that the young man
nor his parents know much of the
University. They may live in a dis
tant part of the state and have not
been told of what it has to offer them.
The present move on the part of the
faculty is the only way to overcome
this difficulty. If properly done it
will result in great good.
