Pension Reform.

The action of the Pension Bureau
in temporarily suspending payment
of pensions in certain cases where the
official documents do not show such
total incapacity for manual labor as
is contemplated by the law, says the
New York World, is right. If the
pensioner is lawfully entitled to his
pension he will get it. If he has OBJ
tanned it by false representations he
will lose it, and deserves to lose it.
There is an honest soldier and a
sound lawyer at the head of the Pen
sion Bureau now, and the business of
swindling the people under false pre-
tense of duty done or suffering in
Cured in the public service or pres
ent incapacity to earn living is in
terrupted.
Ifthe Grand Army protests against
just and honest administration of the
Pension Bureau it will be bad for the
Grand Army. 1t will be split in two,
and that wing of it which appears to
be organized chiefly for politics and
Doodle will forfeit the respect and
sympathy in which the organization
has been held heretofore.

THE CHEAT RIVER RAILROAD.
1t is Intended to Develop the Country
About ROwlesburg.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, July ia
charter was issued by Secretary Of
State Chiffon to-day to the Chea,
River Railroad Company, which pro
poses to build railroad from the
m outh of Cheat river at a connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania systems at that point
to Rowlesburg on the headwaters OF
Cheat river, where another connec-
ton will be made with the Balti.

plated that short extension be.
You'd Rowelsburg would give it a
junction with the West Virginia
Central and Pittsburg 1.-THE Davis
Elkins road). The incorporators OF
the new enterprise are A. S. Guffey
Emmett Green and George Heard, OF
Pittsburg, and George d. Prentice
and w. F. johnson, of Allegheny
City, Pa. The capital stock of the
company is only nominal, each in
corporator holding $1,000.
The exact route is not specified in
the application for charter, but the
territory generally mapped out above
is among the finest timber and coal
producing regions of this or any 9th
er State. 1t has been estimated
that there are 100,000,000 hardwood
saw logs in the region accessible tc
a railroad following the Cheat river
valley, and the coal is of the same
general quality and distribution
found elsewhere in Monongalia and
Preston counties. Both the Goa
and the timber are almost inaccessi

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page engravings from especial
photographs, and furnishing all need
full information, may be obtained free

Avoid the Dull Season.

Some thirty New York merchants
gave public interviews year or SO
ago of the method they employed to
avoid the dull season in trade. All
of them agreed that since they had
adopted the policy of advertising
steadily through the summer they
had no dull season in their trade.
Most of them stated that instead of
lessening their advertisements in the
dull season of trade. they increased
it, and found it to be profitable.
OF course, there is lull in trade
in the summer season; but there is
always enough bushes to enable the
more progressive of our business
houses to maintain profitable trade
when most others are idle.
The merchants who can offer the
people what they want, or what they
are certain to want at an early day,
can always have plenty of patronage.
He must not only have the article
that is wanted, but he must have it
as good as it can be had anywhere;
and he must not only advertise it,
but he must advertise it with artist
ic and literary attractiveness. In
deed, advertising columns should
sparkle with important news to buy
ers and reliability should be stamp
ed on every line. The house that adj
vertises IN the slip-shod way, or that
is reckless in statement, simply
wastes money in advertising.

Remarkable Freaks Of Country Justice
Of the Peace

| vi tuC ChCC
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July
ga certain justice of the
peace in this neighborhood is gain
ing for himselfa state wide notoriety
for the character of offenses for
which he issues warrants. Scarcely
a day passes but what something
new and strange is not heard of in
Justice Lily's court He is now in
durance vile himself as "A result of
too ambitious a disposition to "as-
sess fines and cost"
A short time ago he startled the
community by arresting in writing
in the public schools and other citi-
zens of equal prominence for trot-
ting across a new bridge which
spans the Little Kanawha and about
which the county court has made no
regulation. A constable was placed
at the end of the bridge and arrested
people by the score In each case
he fined them heavily under an old
and long forgotten law.
The next freak the justice took
was to arrest every member of Com
pany Z, of the state militia. They
had been allowed to use certain
piece of ground for target practice.
One day while shooting a wild aim
or two sent bullet outside the lines.
The echo of the same had scarcely
died until the same constable was on
hand and without ceremony put the
whole company under arrest. The
esquire fined every member, those
who shot and those who didn't, Off
GERS, privates and all. The boys
took an appeal to the grand jury and
at its session just held no indict-
ments was found
His latest eccentricity occurred
on Monday, when he ordered his con-
stable to arrest Arthur Cunningham,
well known citizen, for disturbing
a religious meeting. On Sunday
night, at the church services, Squire
Lily made some remarks in which he
expressed his religious views. Gun
ningham followed and argued to a
different conclusion. The discuss
ion was animated Monday Gun
ningham was arrested for disturbing
the services. Cunningham has in
tensified the amusement by having
Lily arrested on the same charge.
They will both be tried tonight.
just where Justice Lily will show
his authority next is not easy to tell.

A New Genius.

The enterprising journalists of
Pittsburg seem to be suffering from
news drouth. While this predica-
ment is not pleasant one, it is not
hopeless so long as the vividness of
the journalistic Imagination does not
suffer- The Pittsburg Post yester-
day beroically comes to the relief of
the situation with q "snaik" story
from the mountains. 1t is gem of
its kind, and the News regrets that
it is not able to give more space to
the description of the monster. The
Post terms the creature as 1.-The Mon
ster of the Cheat" and its veracious
chronIcler thus gives his dimensions:
at looked to me to be the size of
an Alderney COW, although its legs
were much shorter and it's body
somewhat longer Its back was rig
ed and bumped in the center, and
frem behind each shoulder protruded
something which was neither wing,
fin, arm nor claw, though it resem-
bled each of them. Its tail was long
and thick and resembled that of a
crocodile, except that the end WAS
forked, resembling that of a mon
strous fish. Its feet were webbed
and resembled those of bear in out
line and as large as peck measure.
The body was covered with big
heavy scales, which moved as the
monster walked. But the head of the
dragon was the most fearful looking
part of all. 1t was as large as that of
a horse, and covered with large warty
knots. Directly in the forehead and
just below the eyes was a monstrous
Jagged horn-like protuberance. and
just back of the ears were two SINH
lar looking horns, though somewhat
smaller. The eyes were as large as
tea cup and stuck out of their
sockets at least an inch and a half.
The mouth of the beast l could not
see very we'll for the struggling calf
that was in it, but it must have been
exceedingly large, for the monstrous
jaws reached almost across the calf's
body"
The artist of the Post could make
an independent fortune if be were To-
Gated at Parkersburg W. Va. The
talents and achievements of the ia
nous prevaricator of that city pale
and sink into insignificance, com
pared with the brilliant masterpiece
of this Napoleonic liar-Neus.
