last Friday evening taking the min
lister and his family by surprise.
After enjoying themselves socially
for couple of hours, the friends
departed for their homes, leaving
substantial tokens of their esteem,
among which was a pound of "pay
dirt, " from the famous mine Of "a
Cheerful Giver." No one enjoyed
the evening more than did Rev.
Potter and his wife.
Uucie J;alny Collins, of Wald-
port, was up yesterday as a witness
/ for Mr., Kroeger in his final proof.
While in town he gave us a short
call, ana quarrelel with us OH poll
ties for a little while. We finally
agreed to disagree and parted with
out bloodshed. In consideration
of our peaceful parting we agreed
not TO say anything about his at
tempt to drown lady down on the
Alsea the other day. Uncle Jim
says that it was an accident and
that lie did not even know the lady
was trying to stand up in the till
he heard her go "pluuk" into the
water head first. He says that he
helped her out, and as lie wants it
kept secret we will not say a word
about it.
Tuesday evening the county clerk
received from Judge Fullerton his
decision in the case Of c. NJ. Grady
vs.. Alon2o Dundon, ct al. 1t will
be remembered that this is a con-
troversy arising over a short piece
Of road leading leading from the
railroad track to low water on De-
poe slough, in Toledo. \ hearing
was had i'll the case over q year and
a half ago before the county court
and Alonzo Dundou, as supervisor,
was ordered TO remove the obstruc-
tons from the road. These OBJ
structions were two frame buildings
belonging to {. NJ. Grady, wife of
Dan Grady. Mrs. Grady sued out
a temporary injunction restraining
the supervisor from removing or
otherwise molesting the buildings.
The case was tried before J. Fred
Yates as referee who found for the
defendant the county. both as to
the law and facts. The plaintiff,
Mrs. Grady, through Judge HUFF
ford her attorney, fled a motion to
set aside the findings Of the referee,
and the decision upon this motion
is the one just rendered by Judge
Fullcr,on, he having had the matter
under adviSemeu, since last No
vember. 'rhe decision a(iirms the
findings ofthe referee, and dis,olves
the temporary restraining order,
ana adiudges that the plaintiff must
pay the costs ofthis action. These
costs will probably amount to about
$3.50 all Ioll. 1t is rumored that
Mrs. 0rady will take an appeal to
the supTeme court.

out Bail by the Police Court.
London, April 19.-At the Bow street
police court to-day Oscar Wilde and
Alfred Taylor, charged with serious
misdemeanors, were brought up on re
mand and were formally committed
for trial, bail being refused in each
case. II was noon before the prison
ers were brought into the dock. Wilde
was much more pallid and distressed
than he has seemed since he first APP
peared in court 1t was necessary to
allow him a seat in the dock and he
rested there in a limp fashion, paying
no attention to the proceedings.
After the evidence had been pre-
scented. a list of the charges against
Wilde was read and he was asked by
the magistrate if he Yisr Ell to dy any
thing in reply. Wilde answered:
Not at present"
Counsel on behalf of Wilde made
an application for bail, but the pre-
siding magistrate replied that in his
opinion the offense was so grave and
he considered the evidence so serious
that bail could not be allowed.

SAYINGS AND LOAN.
Good Reading Matter for Members of
the Mutual German Savings and
Loan Association, Rooms No. 301-2
Peabody Building, Wheeling, West
Virginia.

The Financial statement Of the Mutual
German Savings and Loan Association,
of Wheeling, w. Va, for the first eleven
months business, ending March 30, 1879
shows remarkable prosperity NOtwlth-
standing the fact of the association GO
ing into business during the worst finan-
cial depression the country has ever eN-
perienced. they have accumulated up TO
the LIST of April assets TO the amount OF
$lO9, 56l 81 AS will be seen from the imam
cial statement which is given in detail
below, the mortgage loans amount TO
SlO7, 1892. These loans are secured by
first mortgage on unincumbered. i'm
proved real estate, the appraised value
of which is $2iS,ll3, and in addition. the
association holds fire insurance policies
to the amount of $lS2,S25. This makes the
security for the money loaned absolutely
safe, and goes to show conclusiVely that
stock in a well managed building and
loan association is equally as safe as any
legitimate investment on the market to-
day. There is no element of specu-
lation in the business of this as
ISOLATION. The monthly system of
compromising their money, enables
them to pay a better rate of inter
est than can be done by any financial in
stitutiOn, other than those of this class.
1t is this fact that enables this associa-
ton to pay per cent per annum on time
deposits in amounts of not less than 500
each and in addition TO such deposits
bearing per cent interest, they partici-
pate in the profits of the association.
The unequalled success of this associa-
ton is due to the careful and conserva-
tive management by it's board of direc
tors composed of the following well
known business men of Wheelin, w. Va:
W. A. Wilson, Il b. Dobbins, George
Hook Alfred PAUL, c. B. Hart, and S. r.

association every three months, and the

SHE DOESN'T WANT To VOTE.


One of the ablest addresses against
woman suffrage we have yet run
across was delivered by a woman be-
fore the judiciary committee Of the
New York State Senate. The lady was
Mrs. Francis NJ Scott, of New York
city. and she claimed to speak for the
thousands of women Of the Empire
State who do not want the ballot and
who regard it as a burden TO be
avoided. These women are of the do
nestle. housekeeping kind. who do not
seek. but. on the contrary, avoid pub
LEFTY. and their opinions attract much
less general attention than those Of
their active sisters Of the suffrage
school.
Mrs. Scott first showed that in New
York women ounumbered men,
though they were physically inferior,
and depicted the uavesty upon gov
eminent Of a voting majority unable
TO coerce a troublesome minority by
physical power" She cited the detri-
ment to charitable and philanthropic
work We're women diverted to politics.
and the indisputable fact that women
having 'no political prizes to gain, no
Offices in view, no constituencies to
please has made them of special value
In an this wide field of work; their
ends are more quickly achieved since
their singleness Of purpose cannot be
questioned" She cited also the cir
cunistance that last spring. in less
than three weeks. without solicitation.
1000 names, nearly half Of which were
those Of self-suppOrting women were
collected in protest against suffrage,

BESSIE WAS REMANDED.
She is Charged With FeIoniously Shooting
Isaac Cochran.

Isaac cochran
New York, April 19.-Isaac Cochran,
the real estate dealer, who was shot
by Bessie Fairbanks in a saloon on the
evening of April 6, appeared in the
police court to-day. He charged Miss
Fairbanks with felonious assault, stat
ing that she had shot him twice in the
head. The sight of the left eye is
gone, and he can barely discern the
outlines of fingers with the other eye,
and this only when he raises the lid
with his fingers.
When Miss Fairbanks saw Cochran
enter the court room she asked per-
mission of her counsel to speak to the
complainant. Cochran, however, paid
no attention to her and by his actions
showed her that she need expect no
leniency from him. She wept and
wrung her hands dramatically during
her arraignment She was finally re-
turned to the prison and the hearing
adjourned for one week.

and this. too. in spite of the great
difficulty in getting most women to
take any part whatever in such an
agitation. These women said Mrs.
Scott. do not want publicity; they do
not want to be mixed up in politics.
They want just to be women and do
women's work. and they are the great
majority Of our sex, and they should
be respected. She traced a growing
Discrimination to motherhood to this
unrestful desire for life outside the
home where motherhood is spoken of
with contempt"
Mrs. Scott closed with vigorous ap-
peal to the legislature to protect the
homes which we women alone can
make for you"
What is the sense in trying to make
male converts to the ranks of woman
sufrragists while such women as Mrs.
Scott refuse TO become converted TO
the new woman idea? The woman
hood she speaks for yields far more
power than could ever be put forth
through the ballot, for it is the woman
hood that makes the home, the State
and the nation.

HOME RULE FOR CITIES.

Prof. Goodnow, of Columbia College,
in the Political Science Quarterly
calls attention to- matter Of State
legislation in which reform is sadly
needed. but which is rarely, if ever,
given any thought by State legislatures
and never the attention which its inn
portance demands. 1t is a truth which
wili be readily recognized by every
community that has had occasion
to ask legislation Of the State law max
ers and been denied the same, or only
granted its request after a hard fight,
that as Prot. GooduOw points out
American legislatures have failed TO
recognize any distinction between mat
tiers Of general concern throughout the
State and purely local matters which
should De left entirely to the local
government There has been he
says. IAN utter failure TO distinguish
any sphere of municipal home rule into
which the legislature should not in
trude." and he speaks of the un-
doubted and well-recognized evil Of
continual legislative interference in
purely local matters
Wheeling has had several seiges
with past legislatures, particu-
LARRY the last one, the first RepubH-
can legislature in West Virginia in
twenty-five years. and would have had
a brand-new charter forced upon her,
made up by a clique Of Republican
politicians without the knowledge or
consent Of the people, had not the Reg
lister exposed the little game before it
could be sprung and railroaded through
that body. while other towns actually
did have new charters made up by Re-
publican bosses behind closed commit
tee-room doors. forced upon them with
out their knowledge or consent.
Such things should not be possible.
The province Of a State legislature is
to make laws for the State at large,
and not TO NEEDLE in the local affairs Of
cities.
Various exDedients are being tried of
late for giving more power TO city gov
ernmeuts. In three States, Missouri,
California and Washington. it is
pointed out that recent constitutions
20 so far as to give cities of a certain
size the right TO frame their own char
ters. A better plan, in Prof Good
now's opinion. is that embodied in the
new constitution Of New York. 1t is
there provided that all special acts re-
lating TO the property, affairs or gov
eminent of city shall be submitted
TO the mayor of the city concerned, and
unless the mayor or the mayor and
council approve the measure it must
be re-enacted by the legislature before
it can become law. While this plan
does not give the city an absolute veto.
it at least makes il impossible TO rail
road special legislation through with
out the knowledge of the city con-
cerued, as has often been done in the
past
