MIR. Unison NOT Chilly.

The Yinson trial was brought to
a close last Saturday evening by
the jury bringing in verdict OF
"not guilty." after being in their
room some eleven minutes. The
evidence warranted no other YER
dict. OF all who took part in the
shooting on that memorable day,
none stand as clearly exhonorated
as Samuel S. Yinson. The evidence
showed beyond a doubt that above
all who shot, he could not have
killed Jas. Frizzell.
General report and the evi
dence go to show that Jas. Frizzell
was a good citizen and a peaceable
man, taking no part in the fight,
with no i'll feeling against any one
and none against him, that while
he was trying to rescue a friend
from danger, as is so often the case
in such instances, he became the
unfortunate victim of an accidental
bullet.
All good people now hope that
the feeling engendered by the cam
paign of last fall which eliminated
in the sad affair of the fourth of
September will soon disappear and
that nothing may be said or done
to fan back to life the fires of re
sentiment and revenge.
The state and defense were both
represented by able counsel and
everything was developed in the
course of the trial that could throw
light upon the guilt or innocence of
the defendant. And it is pleasure
to note that a character built up by
years of trial, hardship and self
sacrifice is not to be blasted or
wrecked by one sad days regretful
occurreDce.--Huntington Adver
tiser.

County Debt, s22, 900.

Our friend of the Gazette will
find, when the proper time arrives,
that the Register will discuss the
indebtedness of this County, to the
satisfaction of the people, whether
it meets the appreciation of the
Gazette or not. But for the pres
ent the fact remains that the county
is in debt considerably over $50, 900,
and that our informant is a good,
honest Republican, and is in a posi-
ton to know exactly the financial
condition of the county, and possess
es especial knowledge" of the mat
ter. And we want to say further,
he is possessed of more brains than
all the people who write for the
Gazette put together, and is an
honest man.

stingy Nan and the Telephone.

1t is the human being in male
form who is too stingy to have a
telephone in his house, who does
not consider itat all out of the way
to make good use of his neigbbors'.
A man has no more right to rush
into your domicile half dozen
times a day to use your phone than
he has to ask you to let him take a
nap on your folding bed. Another
thing, 1t is not fair to the telephone
company or to the operator. The
stingy man always has a breath
strong enough to upset the battery
and break few wires besides. In
case of death or sickness no neigh
Dor should refuse to allow the use
of his talking machine but when it
comes to ordering pound of liver
for Sundays dessert or three quar-
ters of a pound of country sausage
for dinner, there is no reason why
he himselfshouldn't step around to
the butchers or go hungry. Some
people when they have a horse for
the first time do their best to drive
it to death right away
People can't expect good service
ifthey monopolize everything them
selves. Give the telephone a chance,
and remember that God only gave
them two ears and one mouth.
They, also, only receive one salary,
which is earned about as we'll as
can possibly be the case.-Howard
Saxby.

An Old Problem.

One of the problems that is as old
as the science of mathematics, is
that of "squaring the circle" BY
squaring the circle is meant the
problem of finding the sides of a
square exactly equal in area to a
circle of given diameter. To do
this either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically
in conference.-the numbers, has
been found to be an impossibility.
In other words, the ratio between
the diameter and circumference OF
a circle cannot be exactly found.
even though in the division the deci-
mel be carried out to 10000 figures.
The above being the exact facts in
the case, we will say that the prob
lem of "squaring the circle" is one
that has long been given up by the
mathematiciansa as insolvable.

Good Roads.

~NCe~N-1~
Farm News has been consistent
and persistent advocate of good
roads and will continue to agitate
the subject as long as the necessity
for such action exists. The roads
of this country are a disgrace to the
nation, besides, being the most
costly of all our public works.
If we could have good roads it
would add more to the value of farm
property than all the other public
improvements put together, ever
have. would reduce the the cost
of getting our crops to market one
half, and in the saving of feed that
is now fed to idle horses, it would
amount to sum that staggers the
imagination.
Every day that a team remains
idle it is something for which no
return will ever be received. If we
had good roads the teams could be
used on the farm when the ground
was in condition and the crops
could be hauled to the market at
such times as farm work could not
be prosecuted.
With good roads, larger loads
could be hauld and time could be
saved in this way. 1t has been
computed that the average cost of
getting crops from the farm to the
railroad station is greater than put
ting it from the railroad station to
the seabord, and if we count the
cost at ordinary wages, we will see
that that this is not far wrong.
The subject of improving the
roads of the various states is being
agitated now, and the Good Roads
League is scattering Information on
the subjeeiect. and it is to be hoped
that the people of the country will
waken to the importance of the
matter before long and attend to it
promptly.
Farm News is published in a
country where good roads are to be
found in every direction, and we
can ride from Springfield to the
limits of the State of Ohio, west or
south and go all the way on roads
that are smoothe and solid theyear
through. If the farmers of this
part of the United States were left
to decide the matter they would
vote for good roads at any cost for
they have paid for that kind, and
know that the money was we'll
spent.-Ohio Farmer.

They do the Voting.

OF late years the people are doing
their own voting. Twice within
ten years the invuInerable Republi-
can majority of Pennsylvania has
been overcome and Democrats
placed in power in that State by
the people, because they were dis
satisfied with the Republicans.
The people read and form their own
opinions in these days of independ-
ent newspapers and public schools.
1t were better then in making
platforms and in choosing candi-
dates to remember these facts, and
act accordingly. There is nothing
to discourage and dishearten Demo
Gratis. The future is as bright as it
ever was. 1t is rather a future of
encouragement. Betrayers ofparty
integrity have been repudiated.
Those who have praetieed that pub
lie Office is a private snap have been
rebuked. The representatives of
Wall street are being taught a les
son. The enemies of the peoples
rights must learn that all power is
vested in the people, and when
those temporarily in place and
power abuse the opportunity they
will be promptly kicked out.
There are as many Democrats in
the country as ever there were, and
they are just as patriotic, and just
as faithful to their party as ever,
and they are just as ready as ever
to rebuke hypocrisy and deceit and
to repudiate frauds and pretenders.

Brutal Politics.

The Wheeling Register is the
most violently abusive newspaper
toward silver advocates that comes
to this office. 1t cannot refer to a
friend of silver in terms of ordinary
decency 1t does not allude to
bimetallists in any but brutal and
offensive words. And there is no
argument in such a controversy,
nor is it justifabIe to allude to fell
low citizens who entertain a con-
trary opinion in terms of needless
cOarseness. Let the discussion OF
the money question be a fair and
manly one, and not mud singing
contest.-Parkersburg Sentinel.

Lincoln and Coy. Tod.

There are numerous anecdotes
connected with Lincoln which seem
to have caught something of grace
from that connection, and which
can well be reproduced in this place
One concerns his meeting with
Governor Tod, of Ohio. Mr.. Lin.
coin said to him at one time:
81 could never understand how
you came to spell your name with
only one d. Now. 1 married Todd
and she spells her name with two
dis, and L believe she knows how
to spell. What is your authority
for using only one?"
"Well," drawled Governor Tod,
"my authority for it is in part the
fact that God spells his name with
only one d, and it seems 1 should be
satisfied if He is"
Lincoln often told this story, and
it amused him immensely. Some
men have declared the incident was
a matter of his own creation, and
that the talented Onion had never
made the excellent reply accredited
to him. Whether or not that is the
case, the fact remains that the con-
ception always seemed vastly enter
tanning to Lincoln.

them to the city to sell. Get nice

try it. Also pennyroyal, pepper

West Virginia,

Though the surface of the State
is diversified by many hills, and
practically unsuited for agriculture
in many places, there lies beneath
these lofty hills, an untold and in
exhaustable supply of wealth, which
as yet is practically undeveloped.
To the sagacious and prudent in
vestor, this domain offers one of the
most promising fields to be found
anywhere in the world. Here lies
fields of coal yet undeveloped, which
could be mined with profits, for the
everincreasing manufacturing trade
of the east and the west, the north
and south. Nor is this all. On ac-
count of its accessibility, coal can
be mined here cheaper than any
where, and there is no reason why
it should not find its way into for
eign markets, thus competing even
with the pauper labor of Europe.
The demand for coal will never de-
crease, and on account of the super
Tor quality of West Virginia coal, it
finds its way into every part of the
country, and always has a ready
sale.
The facilities for reaching the
markets are improving rapidly, and
it must be noted, that much of the
development of the State, will de.
pend on the facilities of transport
ing its products to the great manu-
featuring and shipping centers of
our great and glorious country.
Where these facilities reach that
state of pleasant rivalry, the result
which will accrue therefrom, and
the benefit it will be to all cannot
be estimated. There is practically
no limit to the mineral wealth which
underlies these hills, and as yet
only partially developed.
