story on one of our citizens. 1t says that
a Chinaman had stopped at the United

had large number of melons on his
wagon decided to make the fellow think
that he had taken some OF them. He
therefore purchased two from FaZzio's
fruit store and placed them on a box in
front of his saloon. Joe Ayers came
along and picked one up and started to
walk off with it, but bvstander who was
watching the fun stopped Joe and was
about to take it away from him, when
the Chinamsn appeared on the scene, and
seeing what he supposed to be his melon
about to be spirited away. commenced to
fight for it. not waiting for nor accepting
any explanations which Ruiz tried to
make. The Chinaman, however, caught
sight of the other melon in possession of
Ruiz, and becoming thoroughly con-
WINGED that he had fallen among thieves,
jumped into the gutter and picking up
handfuls of mud spattered Ruiz from
head to foot and put considerable of the
filth on the front of the saloon. He then
drove off. carrying one of the melons be-
longing to Ruiz with him. the other hav-
ing been fred at the Chinaman's head,
lay in the gutter. The Chinaman was
arrested later on by Ed Miller on com.
paint of Mr.. Ruiz. He paid Sc for his

city in the United States whose inhab- itants, to the number of at least 250, have been furnished with telephones rent free for one year.
 The trouble began with the introduc tion of the Harrison telephone into the city. The company offered a rate con- siderably lower than that of the Bell Telephone company, and attracted many subscribers When 200 people had sig nified their intention of using the new telephone, and the Bell company saw that it must face opposition, 1t made the announcement that telephones would be placed in business houses and dwell ings for $l year. This offer at once drew large number of subscribers, and the list of Bell telephones soon num- be1ed about 300 New wires had to be strung, and, with the Harrison eompa- ny's 250 telephones, this city of 10, 900 people employed over 300 telephones.
 When those using the Bell telephone went to pay their yearly rental fee of $1, they were informed that it was not necessary, and reeeipted bills for the amount were given them. Next year the Bell company will charge for the use of it's telephones The price will be a shade less than that asked by the liar rison company. The latter did not at tempt to meet the competition of the Bell company. y.-New York Sun.

A senatorial poom on wheels.

Governor William MacCorkle of West Virginia is an announced candidate for the United States senatorship to sue ceed Senator Faulkner, whose term ex- pires in March, 1899 Already he has begun his campaign. To facilitate his canvass he has bought a private car, which is called the MacCorkle and ill which the governor goes through the state in style. He seldom travels even a short distance without using the Mac Corkle, and, as rule, he has with him a congenial company to enjoy his hospi- tality. One day he spends with the edi- tors in convention, the next with the Knights of Pythias or Masons, another day he addresses a presbytery or Meth odist conference and the next hobnobs with a gathering of merchants or la ber union convention. A few weeks ago he camped out with the militia boys, and so he goes from one place to anoth- CT, greeting all and making his private car home for his friends and means of furthering his ambition.

"The women, too, I said, must show lots of feeling, don't they?"
 Well, not so much IS the men. They come in, the old Indies who remember those days and the young who have been told about it, bite their lips to keep back the tears, and just as they leave you hear them say something. Sometimes they are rebellious and say, I declare, I'd just like to have them fight it all over again; it makes me so mad!' But generally they are quiet and fearful and pathetic, and you hear them say as they pass out in quivering voices, Well, it's long time over, but some way just can't keep from crying. ''
 And the northern people, asked, "what do they think of these old flags and swords, these proelamations of se- cession?"
 ''Oh, most of them are very much in- terested. and the majority are sympa- thetic too Now and then a woman will come along and be disagreeable. One of the sweetest experiences have had was with woman from Denver She came in and seemed so affected by the things that she saw that asked her if she had lost any dear ono i'll our army. She cried over those poor, old patched clothes there, but she turned to mo and said, No, my dear, my husband was in the Federal army and was killed at the bat tie of Ghickamauga, but my heart goes out to all of the blue and gray, for know well how both sides suffered And she gave me this badge of the Wom- en of the Grand Army of the Republic to keep as a memento between us.
