Wet weather and plenty of mud
at present, and our roads are in a
deplorable condition. 1t is almost
impossible to walk over the road
between the Virginia line and Buf-
falo Run, much less to wagon over
it.
Mr.. Amos Umble returned from
Barton last week and reports the
produce market active. Eggs worth

Chas. Thomas has resumed work
at Krug on the stave mill.
L. L. Savage, formerly of this
place, was here last week on busi-
ness.
Our school has progressed nicely
with an enrolment of forty-two
pupils, with Noah Fearer as teacher.
Mr.. Walter Ross, of Midland, !,
Allegany county, is here visiting
friends.
Grover Cleveland declared IN one
of his messages that "public office
is a public trust" but he has un-
doubtedly changed his mind. At
any rate when he went to the White
House in 1885, he was poor man;
now his estimated worth is estima-
ted at from four to six millions,
Where did he get it? He and Wall
Street men are intimate friends, so
says Mr.. Howard, formerly Dem
ocrat, bnt now Populist. Grover
is like good many Of our business
men-believes in making public
office a private snap, no doubt.

HOME OF THE FAIR.

THE following poem was written by Mr.
Bruce Mckinley, student at the Buckhan
non, w. Va, Seminary, and is published by
request in these columns. The faculty of the
institution is building new dormitory and
this poem is supposed to be the young men,
over being separated from the
ladies.-ED. Republican,
In early dawn of the creation
OF all man held supreme possession;
The very lord of natures life
Had all he wished except wife.
But soon this issue was decided
That he with Eve should be provided,
On sin man since has loved to revel
O'ercome by the repulslve devil)
These two were on equality
In virtue or morality.
They being placed here side by side
One for the others earthly guide.
They doubtless then had equal rights
But customs change with wondrous flight;
The modern views ofpollcy
Make barriers to society.
Some advocate the separation
Ofsexes during education
And seem to think the better plan
That man should mingle here with man.
Ofall the earth the saddest spot
Is on this forty acre lot.
We here behold a score at toll
Uplifting tons of natures soil.
The pick and mason's implements
Resound with tones of saddest accents,
They seem to say we're building slow
A mansion where the boys can't go.
The basement is CT solid stone
AS stronE as adamant alone,

NUMBER 40.

While added to this walls of brick
Perhaps some three or four feet thick.
Life has two phases rather double
The one is JOY the other trouble
, IT'S sad indeed to tell the story
The object of the Dormitoay.
The boys are free to go here and there
The Others scarcely have free air.
The one shut in thus bleaches white
Because excluded from sunlight.
0. fair young girls, with happy faces,
Possessing all of woman's graces,
We cannot bear to see yougo
Well miss YOU; how our tears will flow!
o comfort come to soothe our sorrow,
Come for to-day then for tomorrow,
Create within us resignation
To stand this direful separation,
Friendship and joy may sometimes severe
But schoolday's charms will live forever,
Our youth and hope may pass away,
These fairest gems will ne'er decay,
Associations! Oh how sweet
To be with those we love to greet
Let's take these chances now or never
And battle on with best endeavor
VIII stars and planets cease to whirl
When boy can't talk with his best girl?
VIII father time come to an end
When friend can't interview with friend?
Will it not be a sad procession
When they march out to take possession?
How can we bear this dreadful view
To clasp their hands aud say adieu?
VIII loved hearts with emotion thrill
While gazing on the Toy $ at drill?
From windows high will heads protrude
To watch the Seminary dudes?
In after years when far remote
On rugged waves our craft may float,
five should chance to meet again
Will we likely know each other then?
Enraptured by sweet memory
We battle on with constancy.
The pleasure of co education
Will furnish thought for meditation.
Commencement comes to close the year
And lovers come from far and near,
"Say, friend, will you please be 50 kind
Help me my student girl to find"
Proceed straight to the campus ground
And there a building will be found,
You'll find her there shut in Il pen
Excluded from the 81 Int of men.
Some live in hope, some in despair
We still hope in this affair;
Some one we know must keep heir fires,
To do this we have great desires.
Permit this then We'll compromise
That when they go for exercise
Allow the boys to go along
And softly whisper their love song.

New B. & o. Heaters.

All local and through passenger
cars on the Pittsburg division of
the Baltimore and Ohio are being
equipped with the Gold steam heat
ing system. The system used
heretofore on the Baltimore and
Ohio while they haye been made to
answer the purpose, have several
defects which the new system has
not. Recent tests have been made
by the company and for all practi-
cal purposes the Gold system has
been agreed upon, and all coaches,
not only on the Pittsburg division,
but over the whole system as well,
are to be equipped with these
heaters at the works of the Gold
company at Baltimore.
On an average three coaches ale
being sent to Baltimore daily, and
at this date more than half of all
the coaches on the division are fit
ted with the new heaters. Those
which have been so equipped, how
ever have not been put into service
on the road, and will not be until
the system is uniform. On the
entire lines this means a change of
heating system for 600 passenger
and 250 baggage, express and pos
tai cars. All the cars on the
Pittsburg division will be provided
with the new heaters by January
1st.

Fell Down the Mountain.

Sunday afternoon party of four
small boys, who we're out for a trip
near the mouth of Ogden canyon,
started to climb to the top near the
hot spring, one of the most dangerous
points along the whole face of the
mountain. One of the boys, less for
tunate than the rest, slipped and fell
down the mountain side, sustaining a
badly fractured skull. DIR. Perkins
was called in, VINO extracted several
pieces of bone from the skull. Yes
terday the boy was resting easy, with
the chances in favor of his recovery.
The injured boy is Bert Matthews,
the twelve-year-old son of Frank
Matthews of the Electric Street Rail
way Company.
The boy would undoubtedly have
died had not Sheriff BeInap, who was
driving in the canyon with his fami-
ly, heard the boys cry away up the
mountain side. The Sheriff immedi-
ately started to climb the jagged, pre-
cipitous wall of rock, but before he
could reach the place, the boys hold
had given way and he slid and rolled
down the mountain to the bottom.
The Sheriff with difficulty descended
and picked up the boy, thiHking he
was dead, and brought him home. It
is great wonder that the boy was
not killed, and to any one who is ac-
quainted with the locality it seems
almost miracle that the boy escaped
as he did.-Salt Lake Tribune.
Little Bert was well known in Black
foot, his parents having lived here
more than a year, and during the
time he was a pupil in the public
school.

Opposed to Fusion.

At a meeting Of the County Central
Committee Of the Peoples party, held
at Wallace, Shoshone county, on the
11th day of May, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted
Resolved, That whereas rumors
have been prevalent of intended fu-
sion between the Peoples party and
representative men of other parties;
and whereas, the rank and file of the
Peoples party is comprised of men
who have been compelled 70 leaye the
old parties that have proven them
selves utterly unworthy of confidence
OF support; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the idea of fusion
with any party whatsoever is contrary
to the principles of the Peoples party
and that as the Representatives of the
Peoples party of Shoshone county,
Idaho, we declare that we will tolerate
neither fusion or compromise of any
sort with any party or with any men.
That is good politics. Let the three
parties in the state make the cam
paign independent one of the other
upon party principles and the compe-
tency and fitness of the men ON their
respective tickets for the offices, and
let the people take their choice at the
polls, and all will be well.

Saw His Parents Sixty Miles Away

Saw His Parents Sixty Miles Away,
Harry Wllletts, young man who
was nearly killed by striking an arc
light with the steel tip Of his umbrella
at Atlantic City, N. j., upon his re
coyery related a remarkable vision
which came to him as he felt the cleo
trio fluid going through his body. His
home is in Cambridge, go miles from
Atlantic City. 81 had left home but
two days before" he said to a repor-
fer, "and every detail Of the homellfe
| remembered, and as / fell uncon-
scious | saw it again as plainly as /
now see you. Ny father sat by the
reading, while my mother was engag-
in sewing buttons on his clothes. The
picture was SO realistic that my last
words as | fell were, "My Godl where
am IL" And they were heard by by
ISLANDERS, who did not know what caus-
ed them. The most marvellous part
Of young Willetts' vision is that his
brother declares that at the hour the
accident occurred his parents were
seated and occupied just as he saw
them.
