BLUETIELD, w. Va, March 3.-The
force of deputy marshals and employees
of the Trans-F Flat Top Land association
had not reached the riotous squatters
in Logan county up to dark Friday
evening. The cavalcade, well equipped
with guns and ammunition, is moving
across the country as rapidly as the
bad roads will permit. The squatters
will be forced to retire, but they still
declare they will fight to death.
The entire coal belt of West Virginia
is agitated over the squatters' war in
Logan county. Open hostilities are
expected Saturday. The squatters are
thoroughly organized and have a large
supply of dynamite in addition to their
Winchesters. They declare they will
blow up the first camp which the dep.
uty marshals make on the contested
land. The surveyors were driven off a
month ago, and the Trans-Flat TOP
Land association has been perfecting
arrangements ever since to drive out
the settlers.
The surveyors now have strong pro-

are mountaineers who will not hesitate

beaten in the courts. but can not be
prevailed on TO leave peaceably.
They have held the disputed prop

of their improvements are of a
substantial character. The present

Always His Better Half.
We should never, never make conf
Jences, says the London Daily News.
There are scenes and hours which
prompt man to blab. In certain
effects of sunset and moonlight, in Il
long nocturnal smoke and paraver,
after dinner especially, the skeletons
in our cupboard begin to stir, to rattle
within us, to desire to show them
selves. But these are not the circum-
stances which a man feels inclined to
tell to his wife. 1t is to male friend
that he is tempted 20 divulge them, or
TOT pretty and sympathetic lady. The
only policy is to bottle them judicious-
ly. They may only bore your friend,
thrilling as you think them, or he or
she may babble of them till they come
round to the person whom you are
most interested in keeping unac-
quainted with the events or emotions
A fellow-feeling should make us
check other men and women when
they begin to unpacl their hearts As
to women, if they have taste for
making condolences, they are sure to
make them SO often that one more does
not matter. Some men, and still more
some women, are born recipients of con-
tidences. People open out to them; even
strangers in railway carriages unveil
their amours and regrets. To other
people, condolences are never made by
any one, whether because they look
unsympathetic, or because they nip
them in the bud, or for some other
good reason. They have the less to re-
gret, and they are not tempted to blab.
Contrary to general opinion. we believe
that secret is safer with married
woman than with married man. A
man says: II will tell nobody; not
even my wife," and straightway goes
and tells her. Very often it leaves her
cold, though exciting to him, and SO it
is safe. But married woman is much
less inclined to tell her husband First,
she knows she can not trust him-for
does he not blab to her? Besides, the
secret often seems to him so humorous,
or SO unimportant. or in itself so OBJ
vious, that he lets it out without think
ing of it. Besides, woman has q
pleasure in knowing what her husband
does not know land possibly would
not care to know, while husband,
in the goodness of his heart. likes to
carry a bit of tattle to his wife. So
the male bird, ranging the wet lawns,
comes home with nice worm for his
mate The condolences of men to wo-
men are mostly about their wives. and
vice versa. This is kind OF petty
tseason, and such revelations should
not be listened to: but few ladies' II is
believed, can help listening. OF these
confessions the penitent is likely to rc-
pent, and that sl,eedily.-N. Y. World
