More Interesting Relics.

Dr. j. P. Hale has returned from
trip through the neighboring
counties seeking Indian and other
relics and curios for the Historical
Society. Among other things he
secured from Mr. Thomas J. DArst,
of Point Pleasant, some interesting
relics from well within the bounds
of the Old Fort, on the site of the
battle of Point Pleasant. These
relics were unearthed by the late
Andrew ]. Darst some thirty or
thirty five years ago. He got some
fine Indian relics from Mr.. Shank
and Mr.. Lytle, of Ravenswood, and
from Capt. VIM. Williamson, at
Willow Grove, Indian relics and a
field glass which once belonged to
General Washington, the history
of which is SAID to be well anthem
ticated. The societys collection is
duly becoming more interesting
and valuable-Kanawha Gazette.
Some time ago young man
came to Bellaire and secured en-
ployment in one of the glass
factories as decorator. He APP

man, always tending strictly to
business. He had remarkably
small features for man and several
persons mentioned the fact, but
when to- day it became known that
the supposed man was really a
woman, there was quite commo-
ton. Whether or not the woman

about the place have satisfied

she came from is not known, nor
does any person know anything OF
her history prior to coming to

The constant ringing of the High

The constant ringing of the High
School bell, is getting to be a nuis-
ance, and everybody within hear

foolish rule that seems to be
adopted to call the classes together,
and to dismiss for recess, and for
the closing hours. Let some other
plan be adopted, and stop the ring
ing of the bell only at school hours.

At this time of the year there
is more or less maaria. 1t mani
tests itself very often by an irrita-
ting cough, and in some instances by a
hard dry sore throat which takes but
little to develop into a malignant type
or diptheria. 1t is evident to all that
the best means to prevent this last
dread disease is 10 take when the first
symptoms appear, medicine which
not only relieves the irritability but
cures the disease by its specific action
upon the disease germs and by the
rapidity with which it is taken up by
the blood. This is accomplished by

The odds the Difference.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge [.
o. O. F. in session at Atlantic City
has adopted ali amendment to the
constitution which provides that
"no saloon keepers, bar tenders or
professional gamblers shall be
eligible to membership in the
order" If there were no drinkers
there would be no sellers; if there
were no patrons there would be no
saloon keepers, and no bar tenders.
AS long as there is a demand for
liquor it will be supplied. These
attempted reforms begin at the
wrong end, and seek TO accomplish
by the force of sumptuary legisla-
ton what is only possible through
education and self-control. We are
unable to see wherein a man who
sells liquor is worse than a man
who buys and drinks it.-Sentinel.

OHIO'S PENITENTIARY.

Secretary Byers of the state
board of charities, an authority on
the management of penal and re-

that the management of the Ohio
penitentiary is a disgrace to the
state, and the more so when con-
trasted with the splendid manage
ment of the other state institutions.
Secretary Byers, of course, CRITICS.
es the methods used to discipline
refractory inmates.
On this point the Blade has from
time to time devoted many
columns 1t agrees with Mr.. Byers.
Better discipline can certainly be
secured by other methods than
stripping the convicts and spank
ing them with paddle, or turning
the hose on them, or applying
electricity to their naked bodies.
These convicts are yet men, and
at least are not brutes. The world
has outgrown such methods. They
are not used in many Of the great
penal institutions. Better and
more civilized plans are adopted
to compel convicts 10 comply with
the rules
The old way is not good way,
for there is scarcely day that
fights do not occur among prison
ers. 1t is understood that Warden
James is opposed to these old
methods. He may be, but he is
not making u superhuman effort
to change to something better. 1t
is the duty of the legislature to
give some attention to this institu-
tion. At least it should change
the methods of punishment and
make idle houses unnecessary

League Still Growing.
Since the first meeting of this

lied throughout the county. The
Nelsonville league numbers now
about 400 while the membership in
the county is said to he over 1000.
The lea que is stronger in the Hook
ing and Sunday Greek valleys
among the miners and railroad
men who are opposed to Mat Riley,
the candidate for sheriff, because of
his attitude during the strike last
summer, and there Is no doubt but
that he will be defeated. Sleeper
is placed under the ban hy the la
boring men because of his connec.
tion with the G. HI. v. & A. railroad
canal steal, the unanimous opinion
being that the road will never be
built, and the only way Sleeper can
get the miners votes is for work to
begin at once on the road, but even
with their votes, he cannot hope to
overcome the influence which the
Anti-Ring league has in York
township.
DIR. A. l.. Pritchard, one Of the
most prominent young men OF
