THESE WOMEN VOTED.
But 1t Doesn't Count-A Meot Election
In California in Which the Ladies
Demonstrated Their Qualiflea-
lions at Least.

SAN BxHNARbiSo. CAT, Nov. o.
The frat election eyer held in this
county at which women only cast
ballot fol candidates for county and
state officers has been held in South
ern California, and French, the Pro
nibition candidate for governor, is
probably elected. The movement
which originated in San Bernardino
two months ago soon spread, not on
ly all over this county, but women
in adjoining counties caught the
idea and in Riverside, in Los Ange.
les and in San Diego counties have
been marching up to, Or rather. AZ
the polls and putting in a ballot
which might indicate their rights as
citizens For God and Home and
Native Land. was the motto every
where in sight about the polling
booths About 10000 votes were
polled, almost all the ballots heing
scratched, although the Prohibition
lists and Populists received many
more votes than the old line parties.
To prepare their ballots in two
cases required forty minutes. The
best time made by any female voter
was twelve and one half minutes.
Several disturbances occurred st the
polls because some ladies demanded
the right To delve in the ballot box
es and fish out ticket which had
been voted, 10 make desired correc-
tions. When the judges demurred
to this there we're some exciting
scenes and an Interchange of harsh
words The count of the ballots is
not yet complete. The women will
work to morrow for tickets success
ful in their own election.

The email Farm idea.

The Pittsburg Dispatch is max
ing strong effort TO promote the
raising of fruits in all the country
roundabout. 1t advocates the idea
of email farms, to be laid out in ap-
pies, berries and grapes. 1t points
to the success of the fruit farms Of
New York and Michigan.
The New DOMINION has advised
fruit, berry and grape culture in
Monongalia on many occasions, and
we still claim that the small farmer
can do better in these lines than 9th
erwise with few acres. TIE home
market is no longer bound to be de
pended upon. Pittsburg is near US
on the north, and there is populous
country intervening that takes all
nature of farm production at Pitts
burg prices, as is done in Morgan
town.
In the hills all around here and
all over the county 10 acres of land
would make a man rich If put in
grapes or berries and properly at
tended. This small fruit farm idea
should be improved and itself made
to bear fruit" Raise grapes here
Raise berries here. There's money
in it. 1t takes work, bat so does ev
erYthing else. More power to the
small farm idea.

Death of F. M. Durbin.

Francis Marion Durbin died at
his home at Parkersburg last Sun
day morning at an early hour, of
apoplexy. He had been i'll since
the Thursday previous only. He
would have been 81 years old to-day,
Thursday.
The news of the sudden affection,
resulting in the death of Mr.. Durbin
was received by relatives here soon
after the occurrence, and was the
cause of mournful interest among
hundreds of the people here, where
he was so well and favorably known
He had spoken that, Thursday,
morning of having headache, but
attended to business as usual The
same evening, while sitting at home,
the attack of apoplexy seized him,
and he was falling from his chair
when caught by his wife, and after
ward placed in bed. From that
time until the hour of dissolution he
remained in a comatose condition,
not recognizing any of his friends
who came to attend him or in any
way showing that he was conscious
of his surroundings.
The remains were brought to
Morgantown Wednesday, after fu-
neral services under the auspices of
the l. 0. o. F., of which he was a
member, at his late home, and inter
red in the family lot at Oak Grove
cemetery.
The deceased was a native Of,
and lived in Morgantown until
1874, when he removed to Grafton,
having been elected cashier of the
First National bank there by the
directors. He was a son of the late
William Durbin (who is still re-
membered by older citizens) His
first actual business work was to as
sist his father in the cattle business,
afterwards going to Wheeling, where
he stayed few months in Hughes
tailoring establishment He return
ed to Morgantown and at the age of
II years accepted clerkship in the
First National bank, of which the
late William Wagner was cashier,
meanwhile attending school at the
old Monongalia Academy, where he
afterwards graduated. He remained
with the bank till his removal to
Grafton in 1874.
Thirty-four years ago he and Miss
AbigailPickenpaugh sister of Thorn
ton Pickenpaugh, were married, the
issue of which was William, who
died quite young, and Charles R.
Durhin, who now resides at Grafton.
Four years ago Mr.. Durbin went
to Parkersburg, where he was for
some time cashier of the Citizens
bank, afterwards being receiver of
the Buckhannon Boom and Lumber
company. A few months ago he or
ganized and became the cashier of
the Wood County bank, at Parkers
burg, which position he held at the
time of his death.
Mr.. Durbin became a member of
the NJ. P. Church at an early age
and was always interested in church
work, especially so regarding chart
ty. He was man of attachments
and great business ability. His life
was marked by thrift, industry and
the practice of christian virtues.
His name was always spoken with
respect and he moved among his fell
low citizens as one loved and es
teemed. His bereaved family have
the sympathy Of all.
He had accumulated quite a hand
some competency, besides having
his life insured for the benefit of his
wife.

The situation.

The whole philosophy of the pres
ent political situation resolves itself
into this:
/. Does anybody doubt that in
1892 the overwhelming Judgment OF
the country was against Mckinley
ism and protection?
Nobody but an insane partisan
doubts this.
2. Nothing has occurred since
1892 that could possibly be made a
basis for a claim that the people
were then mistaken, or that they
have changed their minds.
3. Therefore, if the election Of
Tuesday is adverse to the Democrat
ic party, to interpret such result as
a reimbursement Of a Republican
tariff, is to set the people down as
fools and knaves-playing like chill
dren and making burlesque of the
ballot box, or otherwise selling Their
franchise for pelf.
Don't be deceived. A truly Dem.
ocratic tariff will yet receive an 1895
endorsement.

Is Lying A Durable Disease?

Two Chicago physicians claim tc
have a st. Louis patient who has put
himself under their charge to be
treated for lying. He says he has
an uncomfortable mania for fabrica
ton, and he regards himself as suf
fering from disease which requires
medical attention. The two physi
clans are represented as agreeing
with him in the opinion that he is
the victim of disease, and, it is an
nounced, will soon perform an oper-
ton on him for the purpose of cur
ing his mendaciousness. The Dor
tion of his anatomy which is to be
operated upon is not stated, but that
would probably be determined by
the severity of the disease. An or
binary liar might possibly be cured
by simply cutting off his tongue, but
the only way to cure the campaign
liar would be to cut off his head
This method of cure would largely
diminish the population and deprive
political campaigns of much of their
accustomed color and romance, but
truth, which is so often crushed to
earth under present conditions, would
enjoy the novel experience of not be
ing jumped on and mangled several
thousand times every day. And yet
what dull, solemn, uninteresting af-
fairs our political contests would be
without the audacious charm and
flavor which the campaign liar gives
to them! We do not believe the Chi
cage physicians can cure lying, even
with the extended experience and
special opportunities for study of the
subject which their residence in that
city has given them. 1t is too large
job even for Chicago experts. But
II they insist on attempting the cure
of all other kinds of liars, it is to be
hoped that they will not deprive us
of the campaign liar. His cure is
impossible except by blotting him
out, and his removal would deprive
us of the most picturesque and en-
livening figure in the political arena
He really hurts nobody, for nobody
takes him seriously, and a campaign
without him would be as slow as
Philadelphia and as dry as Maine
under Neal Dow.-Sun.

Failure of an Oil Firm.

Forst and Greenlee, who have OPP
Grated considerably in this county,
have gone under the press of finan-
cial circumstances. The Warrington
News says:
"Forst & Greenlee made an assign
ment in favor of their creditors last
week Their calamity was caused
by the drilling of three dry holes on
the Yeager farm. 1t had been ru-
mored for some time that if some
claims against them were pushed, ii
would cause them to go to the wall,
so the failure was not total sur
prise. The other companies they
are connected with are not necessar
lily effected much by the failure, but
the shock is most felt by local cred
itors."

The Crawford Wooden Mills, al

most important industries in that
city. That these mills are prosper
ing under the Wilson tariff bill is
shown by the sworn statement of
Mr.. I. L. Dunn, manager of the
mills, made before a notary at Mar
tinsburg, October 30. In this state
ment Mr.. Dunn declares that "the
mills are paying one cent per pound
more for the unsecured wool which
they use than previous to the re-
peal of the Mckinley bill, which is
equal to three cents per pound on
the secured WOOL" Mr.. Dunn fur
ther makes oath that "the mills have
run every working day, full time.
until two months ago, since which
time they have run on "a time. (l24
