HAIL TO THE CHIEFl

Sheriff Shaw of Preston county,

OF tho Second district, was in the
city Yesterday. Mr.. Shaw says the
Republicans of his county are thor
oughly united this wear and will
give an unprecedented majority tins
fall for protection. = Wheeling IN

BE assured now, If you knew 1t
not before, Republicans of Preston,
that as long as the Sheriff can keep
the Journal bosses subdued that the
party will stand thoroughly uni

casm this declaration of the Sheriff
has no parallel in the history of
Preston politics. After clicking"

and Bro. Wotring out of his job of
oossing the party, to insinuate that
a Modification" is the road to
unitication is something which we
were not prepared to believe the
intrepid Wotring would swallow.
THIS proves the valor of the Jour
nal is of a negative kind whom the
Sheriff parides the streets with
chip on his shoulder, and in time
of danger it seems to go OH the
theory that absence of body IS bet
ter than presence of mind, and ac-
cordingly takes to the woods until
the Sheriff passes by. But we are
truly glad to congratulate the Jour
nal in acknowledging the Sheriff
the Chief of the Republican tribe
of Preston, and to note the compli-
ments paid the Chief by the Jour
nal at the present time, even
though the former declarations
never to surrender to the Sheriff
become wretched pathos. The Jour-
nal will do we'll TO learn lesson
from the Sheriff. You can set it
down as fact that Sheriff Leroy
Shaw will never attempt to boss his
party. but as man who has the
best interest of his party at heart,
he will lead his party as a valiant
Chief And the good sense of the
Journal to follow the man whom it
has fought for years is truly COM
mendable, now that the Sheriff is
tho acknowledged and recognized
Leader of his party IN Preston
county.

JAIL (BLACK) BIRD GONE.

Sunday night Jerry Graham, who
has been confined in the Jail here
over three months, on a charge of
breaking in AlbrIght's store, made
his escape about half past eight
O'Clock. He had dug hole through
the brick wall behind the stove and
concealed the brick, so that it had
not been noticed. He had only
been gone few minutes when his
escape was discovered and officers
were after him, but he seems to
have made good his escape and has
probably gone back to Pennsylva-
MIA, where he worked before for sever
al years. Joe Graham and Bert Bick-
ford went that night to Morgan
town, thinking to head him off, but
found no trace of him. 1t is a good
riddance to the community, and
we only hope that he will not be
brought back. His escape is really
a good thing, as lie has been in jail
nearly all winter at an expense of
fifty cents per day. and wanted his
trial last Corrt, but didn't get it,
and for him to lay there till the
next regular session o: Court, in
September, would have been an
outrage on the prisoner and the tax
payers both.

study thinking and thinking, but
no inspiration came for the Sun.
days sci mon. A gentle rap ut the
door and his wife entered saying:
Sister Snyder wishes to speak
with YOU" The minister's face
frightened, for Sister Snyder al
ways brought cheer, aud he wonder
ed il she might not have u message
for him, if he had not for her, for
she lived IN such close communion
with her Master that her bright
CHEEKY face as we'll as her words was
an index to the Joy within. She
came timidly forward and laid ten
dollars on the minister desk,
saying:
"Half of this is to be used on our
church expenses here, and the other
half is to be sent to my orphan girl
in Foochow, China" The minister
was indeed surprised. "Sister, can
you afford to give so much ?' cit
is the Lords money" she replied.
and her lips were closed to any fur.
ther information.
The incident was told at the tea
table, and the minister's wife with
pardonable curiosity resolved to
find out where the Lords money
came from, and these are the words
she wrote to the missionary.
"Sister Snyder is a woman of
limited means and we could not but
wonder how she could give so lib
orally. We learned That for years
she had not been able to do her
washing, but this year the Lord
had given her strength to do it, so
he gives the money so saved to the
church, calling it "the Lord $
money"
The Eve dollars for the orphan
girl in Foochow was started on its
long journey, and even when it
reached Foochow it had two DAYS
journey. before it reached the mis-
sIonary to whom it was sent. Need
we say that tear fell upon the bill
as the missionary read the words,
but it could not have been tear of
sadness, for her face had not been
so bright for many a dav.

My DEAR Mas. HEERMANs 81
want to send you a little article /
have written, with a special prayer
that you can use 1t to raise some
money. The school building asked
for Hok Chang was granted con-
ditionally, which means that the
money must be raised by special
gifts. j am heart and soul inter
ested in this building, for in my
heart | cherish the hope that it
may be my future home for the
Lords work. You remember what
Mary Lyons says, eff you Wish to
benefit your race, go where nobody
else will go, and do what nobody
else will do"
Hok Chang is one of tie places
where few people would care to 90,
and the work what few will care to
do. Their very misery and help
lessness appeal to my heart, and
makes it u JOY to work for them.
want to give my friends in dear old
Preston an opportunity to help
build this school, and believe they
will be glad thus to help on the
Lords work aud increase the
Lords money.
With sincere love,
