We notice that a great deal of the
trade from the Southern end of the
county goes to Winchester instead of
coming to Martinsburg where it really
belongs. We would suggest to our
merchants the propriety of advertising
through the columns of the HERALD
their merchandise and draw the trade
this way, as our paper circulates very
generally through all that district.

part of the afternoon session Of the

by the examination of Mr. Boyard.
the American representative Of the
liquidation OF the Panama canal
and a director of the Pana-
ma railroad. After Mr.. Boy
ard had explained his relations
with the company. Congressman
Geary, of California, remarked that the
Pacific Mail scandal was going to crop
out some time during the investigation,
and that the present was as good as any
time. He then asked If the Panama
railroad had not Disseminated against
American interests because controlled
by French capitalists Mr. Boyard
replied with vehement NO,
no, no." He claimed the
quarrel with the Pacific Mail had been
brought about by the latter company
flirting with the trans. continental
lines. He explained that the line which
receives special rates was given such a
contract in order to maintain rates, but
not advance them, and that the Pacific
mail would be given the Same advan-

CALLED OUT.
Gov. Llewellyn, Of Kansas, SUM-
mons the Militia
To Quell a Riot Between the Repub-
licans and Populists.
The RepubIica' Break in the Doors Of the
House Iehind Which the Popuiists
Are Barricaded-Topeka the
Verge OF a Bloody Battle.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb ga riot is i'm
minent between the republicans and
populists in the hall of representatives.
The long expected crisis has arrived and
there now seems no way to prevent
dangerous clash between the two par
ties.
When the republicans went TO enter
the hall of representatives at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning they found the
doors had been barred. They were
barred by the popnlists. The republic
an leaders soon determined to force an
entrance, and sledge hammers were
secured for this purpose. They were
used to such effect upon the doors of
side entrance leading to the hall that
they were soon demolished and the
mem bers of the republican house filed
quickly through and entered the hall.
Had the populist house been in ses-
sion conflict would surely have resulted,
but fortunately the populist house,
Tuesday, adjourned until l o'clock
Wednesday, and consequently was not
in session at the time,
As soon as it became known by the
populists what had occurred, Gov.
Lewellyn was notified. He promptly
called out the militia and instructed
them to proceed to the hall and eject
the mem ers of the republican house
from the floor. The soldiers started on
their mission.
The republicans being informed of
the action of the governor, held hur-
ried conference to determine upon what
course of action to pursue. No definite
plan was decided upon. but individual
republicans are trying as this is being
written to induce the Santa Fe railroad
TO call out its shop to oppose the militia
in ejecting the republicans from the
hall.
Other industries that were known to
be in sympathy with the republicans
were also asked to furnish men for the
same purpose.
Downstairs the populists were not
idle. Company c, a local militia com
pany which Adjt. Gen. Artz had notified
Monday night to stand in readiness,
was already on the ground, and or
ders were telegraphed to Holton and
Marion for Companies D and e, and
it was reported that they would soon
be on the way by special train. While
these warlike preparations were going
on the republican house was making a
show of business, but nobody took any
interest in the proceedings until Mr..
Hale of Rush arose and said that it was
fitting that the efforts of Speaker
Douglass should be recognized by his
brothers and he desired to present to
him in the name of the house the in
strument he had used to call the house
to order Wednesday morning.
AS he said this he produced from be-
hind his desk the big sledge hammer
the speaker had used to help effect an
entrance into the hall of the house and
which he afterwards used in rapping
the house to order This was the sig
nal for more cheering and when Doug
las received it from the hands of the
page he held it aloft. The members
stood up and shouted and when Doug
las used it as a gavel the members fair
ly danced.
