Last week, workmen employed
by A. w. Seebohm repairing the old
Stevens property, on Mulberry
street, found a small walnut coffin
in the garnet which calls to the
mind Of some of our older people a
wierd incident.
Many years ago, Ed. Stevens,
then mere boy, died, or at least
every one thought be died. This
coffin was bought, he was put in the
coffin and everything was ready for
the burial. But short time before
the burial was to take place, some
OF the friends were standing by the
coffin when the supposed corpse
opened his eyes. This created quite
sensation, but restoratives were
applied and the dead returned to
life. Mr.. Stevens gotwell, aud liv,
ed to be a man 46 years old Pom,

Advertising, with the. more pro-
gressive merchant, is considered
indispensable. 1t is an adjunct of
vital interest in the management
OF a large business, and while a
majority OF the advertisers of to- day
are not satisfied that they have
mastered the use of printers ink to
the best possible advantage, they
would be hard to convince that
their business could be advanced as
well by some other means. Bust
ness is one of the forcest battles
man has ever contended with, and
advertising produces the results
usually accomplished with gattling
guns, cannon and dynamite. 1t
skaters and brushes the armor and
breast works of competition, and
the cOnquerOr is the one who uses
the finest implements. The adver-
tisement is the powder and shot
and the medium employed to put
it properly before the buyer is the
newspaper. The advertiser is the
commanding officer and his success
or failure depends largely upon the
means he employs.-Pittsburg

General Grant.

Grant was truth teller. AS boy
he hated fibs, and learned to be
exact in his statements. His father
once sent him to buy horse,
authorizing him to offer $50, and if
that should be refused, $50. He
told the owner what his father said.
OF course the owner expected $50
for his horse, but the boy refused to
give more than $50, and obtained
the horse.
He tenderly cherished the asso-
Citations of home. His father and
mother he never ceased to rever-
ence and love. When President, be
valued their regard and approval.
AS children came along he took
them to his heart. His sons were
his companions and his daughter
the idol of the house. For the wife
of his youth and manhood he cher
ished a pure, tender affection.
When he was in Pompeii, the guide
offered to admit him to a building
without the ladies. al am much
obliged to you" he said, "but 1
never go where L cannot take my
wife"
Such was Americas citizen and
soldier, who, on the banks of the
Hudson, waits the hour when, with
loving hands, this cherished wife
shall be laid by his side.-David
Sherman, in lions Herald.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
or the West Virginia Weather Service,
For the Week Ending Monday, August
DC
THE WEATHER.

THE WEATHER.
The extended period of warm
weather, noted in last weeks bulle-
tin, was abruptly terminated on the
Goth by cool wave which caused
the mean temperature for that day
to fall II degrees below the normal.
This cool spell lasted until the 23rd,
when a rapid rise in temperature
occurred, and since that date, warm,
sultry weather has prevailed. The
mean temperature for week aver
aged about one degree per day
above the normal, Notwithstanding
the cool weather of the fore part of
the week. The crop season from
March LIST to August Goth has been
warmer than usual, the accumulated
excess of daily mean temperature
during that period amounting to SO
degrees, or less than one half degree
per day. This shows a nearly nor
NAL or average season, the apparent
abnormity having been caused by
successive periods of excessively
warm and cool weather.
The weeks rainfall has been
greatly below the normal in all Sec
tions, local showers only have &C.
CURED, and these were chiefly along
the great water courses and were
generally of too small amount to do
more than passing good. Thegreater
part of the State needs several days
of steady rain. Springs, wells and
streams are very low, and some cor
respondents note that springs, which
have never before been known to
fail, are now dry. The records at
Parkersburg show a deficiency dur
ing the month OF nearly two inches,
and during the period since March
1st of nearly eight inches.
EFFECTS on THE CROPS.
The continued drought is begin
ming to seriously affect the corn crop
in most sections of the State, espec-
tally the late planting. Reports
from the following counties show an
urgent need of rainfall: Marshall,
Taylor, GiImer, Monongalia, bod
bridge, Brooke, Randolph, Preston,
Mineral, Morgan, Kanawha, Jack
son and neighboring counties. In
these counties it is said corn is suff-
ering badly, grass dried up and
stock suffering for water. Buck
wheat, potatoes and gardens also
need rain. Reports from the fol-
lowing counties are more encour-
aging: Roane, Summers, Fayette,
Monroe, Mingo, parts of Doddridge,
and along the Ohio. Local showers
in these counties have helped the
crops wonderfully.
Fall blowing continues but has
not progressed rapidly, the ground
being too dry in most places.
The fruit crop continues in about
the same condition as reported in
last weeks bulletin, except that in
the sections visited by the high
winds of the 18th, a good many ap-
pies were blown from the trees.

1t is time for the government to
show that it will not permit unof-
Tending Indians to be murdered. A
good beginning can be made in the
case of the badly used Bannocks.
The way to do it is to prosecute for
murder the whites who did the kill
ing. This is phase of the Indian
question which has not received
enough attention. When the IN
dams have made trouble they have
been punished. When the whites
have done the same thing the In
dams have been punished for resent
ing the treatment, and the whites
have been allowed to 90 free. JUS
tice should be impartial as between
red and Wheeling Intelli-
gencer.
