MAGGIE GEYER.
A Former POmerOy, Ohio, Girl in
TrOnhle.


For several days past, the Gin
cinnati papers have detailed the
sudden disappearance of Rev. J. w.
Shorten, late of the Methodist
Church, OF Mason, Ohio, and Miss
Maggie Geyer, member of the
choir of the same church. The
latest developments seem to indi-
cate that the pair have gone away
together. The Conference in SEES
sion at Hamilton has taken note of
the affair, and charges of "Immor
atty and imprudent conduct" have
been made against the offending
minister, who besides offending the
Church has left a most estimable
wife.
Miss Geyer, who is the daughter
of Abraham Geyer, formerly lived
with her parents at Pomeroy, o.,
but for several years Mr.. Geyer has
been at Mason. where he does con-
tracing. The young lady has
always had the highest respect of
the people of Mason, and they in
common with the many friends OF
the family at Pomeroy, and vicinity,
regret the affair exceedingly.-6 ;
Rev. Shorten attracted consider
able attention couple of weeks
ago, by announcing from the pulpit
that it was the first time that he
had been compelled to leave place
owing any person anything, and that
it was due to the fact that his salary
had not been paid. The fact that
Mr.. Geyer states that Maggie was
always supplied with money may
account for part of his salary.

The New Laws,

The Acts of the West Virginia
legislature for TIE year 1895, are
now being delivered throughout the
State.
The book makes in the aggregate
40 pages, and of this total only 90
pages including the appropriation
bills are given to general laws, of
which number are special laws
under the guise of general titles.
As for instance, the law in relation
to the ere location of county seats, ;"
which was an act passed especially
for the purpose of moving the county
seat of Grant county from Demo
cratic town to a Republican town.
The remainder of the book might
just as well be called an act to spend
the peoples money.
One of the most important laws
relates to physicians and provides
that those who may practice med
icine in this State and no others
are those who are legally entitled
to practice at the time this act was
passed, and others must pass an
examination before the State Board
of Health.
The construction given to this
statute is that every physician not
already legal practitioner in this
State must be examined by the
State Board of Health before he can
lawfully practice his profession.
College diplomas are not enough.
The new married woman's law
provides "ADy married woman
may take by inheritance or by gift,
grant, or devise, or bequest from
any person other than her husband,
and hold to her sole and separate
use, and convey and devise real
and personal property, and any in
terest or estate therein and the
rents issues and profits thereof,
in the same manner and with the
like effect as if she was unmarried,
and the same shall not be subject
to the disposal of her husband, nor
be liable for his Misunderstanding

ANNOTHBRR RAILROAD ENTERPRISE
An IS Mile Road to Be Built From

Booths Creek.

DOOAn OACNhs
Senator Camden has probably
done as much or more in the devel-
opment of West Virginia than any
other one man and now he is sur
veying a loop road in connection
with his proposed new road to New
Martinsville.
This road will extend from Shinn-
ston up Shlnn's Run to the head
and thence down Booths Creek to
Monongah distance of IS miles.
1t will open up a large coal field,
this being the prime object of its
construction. Engineer Curtis has
established headquarters at Shinns-
ton and has commenced to make
the survey which will be pushed to
a finish.
The bridge at Enterprise on the
main road up Bingamon to New
Martinsville has been let to con-
tractor Stiers and part of the road
at least will probably be built in
the near future. Squire W. B.
Wilkinson, of Shinnston, and others
have been instrumental in securing
rights of way and otherwise assist

The Table Napkin.

Curiously enough, the article now
considered indispensable, the table
napkin, first used only b children,
and was adopted by eide. members
of the family about the n ddle of the
fifteenth century. In etiquette
books of an earlier date than this,
among other sage piece of advice
for children, are instruc ions about
wiping the fingers and t. e lips with
their napkins. 1t seems that the
tablecloth was long enoU III to reach
the floor, and served the grown up
people in place of napki IS. When
they did begin to use III okins they
placed them first on thu shoulder,
then on the left arm, md finally
tied them about the neck Napkins
became popular in France sooner
than in England. At one time it
was customary at great French
dinners to change the napkins at
every course, to perfume them with
rose water, and to have them folded
a different way for each guest.

To the Editor Of the Register.
SIR:-As other sections of the
State are bringing forward candi-
dates for the various offices on the
next State ticket, the writer thinks
we of of the Northern Handle
should have a voice in naming avail
able men. We therefore desire to
call the attention of the Democracy
of West Virginia to a gentleman we
have in Ohio county who would
make not only a strong candidate
here where he is best known, but
would be equally as strong all over
the State. He has served us ably
ard faithfully in the Legislature.
He is now serving in a higher de
partment, and wherever ability and
courage is wanted, be is never lack
ing. He is popular with all classes
and would be elected. The writer
doubts if he would be willing to
give up his present position, good
paying Office, for less remuner-
alive one, yet he has made sacrif-
ces before and he should be willing
to do so again. We nominate the
Hon. a. D. Garden, of Ohio county,
for Governor. DEMOCRAT.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
More Business Men Should Represent
the People in Congress.

the People in Congress.
The business man is a necessity
in politics, but not merely on ac-
count of the money contribution
that he is asked to make toward the
campaign fund. The business man
should seek politics, and not wait
for the campaign collector to seek
him. The business man should be
in attendance at the primaries,
where the groundwork of subse-
quent contests is arranged. 1t is
the duty of the business man to help
in securing sound politics, with good
representatives for his party at
every stage of the game. The bus
mess mans interests in politics are
vastly superior to and of higher
character than the interests of the
wire puller or of the boss.
The business man more often than
not neglects his duty in this respect.
While congressional action alone
may have any direct bearing upon
his individual affairs the business
man should remember that our re-
representatives. in congress are nom
mated through an earlier procedure
in the campaign. No business man
can afford to have his interests left
in the hands of professional poll
tician-the mere tool of boss.
Every business man needs to be re.
presented by a fellow citizen in
whom be has confidence. 1t is the
duty of business men to see that
they are SO represented. Business
men should not shirk their duty.
By taking Lively interests in their
early local politics they will be able
to send more business men to con-
gress. This is what we need.
