Bradley in tho Race.

Cincinnati, Dec. 16.-A special to the
Post from Frankfort, KY, says: Gov.
Bradley is candidate for president.
It seems to be settled beyond question
that he will be Endorsed by Kentucky
republicans, and missionaries will go to
Washington and make trips to southern
and neighboring northern states to
whoop mp the boom. Bradley enters
the Aeld with binary prestige,
and his managers are counting on the
support of six, or perhaps seven, states
to start with. But one local complica-
ton has heset Bradley SO far, and that
is the candidacy OF II. Clay. Evans, of
Tennessee, for vice president.

KIMPROYINGTHE LINES SERVICE,

Through Trains VIII he Run on Faster
Schedule-Chair Cars Ordered-The
New Time Card Goes in Effect Next
Sunday.
Since George A. Burt has figured
in the capacity of general manager
of the Ohio River Railroad com
pany there has been constant and
material improvement in the con
duet of the affairs of the road, and
the passenger department has come
in for goodly portion of the up
ward tendency. With the first of
the week, it is learned on
good authority, a new time card
will go in effect, which will greatly
improve the passenger service.
The improvement contemplated
could be put in effect now but for the
fact that the new eating station at
Point Pleasant is not yet completed.
The building will be ready for bust
ness next Sunday, after which the
new time card will be promulgated.
Passenger train No. l, which now
leaves Wheeling at 500 a. m, will
leave an hour later, and will be
rushed through to Huntington and
Kenova, with stops at only the
most important stations enroute.
None of the through Flyers will do
local business. New trains will be
put on to do local business between
Wheeling aud Parkersburg, and be-
tween Parkersburg and Hunting
ton. Under the new arrangement
eight trains a day will arrive and
depart from Point Pleasant, four
through trains and four accommoda-
ton. The time from Wheeling to
Huntington and Kenova under the
new arrangement will be cut down
to about seven hours.
The time card will be so arranged
that trains will arrive at Point
Pleasant at meal hours, and the old
time "basket dinners" at Clifton
will be done away with as the eat
ing house at Point Pleasant will
serve meals.
1t is said that one of the reasons
for the fast through service that
will be inaugurated with the new
schedule, is the belief of the Ohio
River officials that a new oil field is
going to developed in eastern Ken.
lucky and southern West Virginia,
and rapid accommodation for travel
will become necessary. Chair cars
have been ordered for the fast SER

Highest Of all in Leavening Pol
Chnreed Miih Poisoning.

Mrs. Elmer Walker, who lives on
Salt creek, about mile and a half
from here, recently brought suit
against Gid. Morrow for slander,
and it seems from the story as we
gather it, Gid. had been making
threats against her if she did not
withdraw it.
Mrs. Walker has the contract for
building the fires and cleaning Of
school house near by where she
lives, and as we gather it, she swept
the school houae yesterday morniag
and reached home late alter her
husband had gone to work, she
having first prepared his breakfast.
Reaching home she MIXED the COW
then sat down to her own breakfast
with the children when Gid Morrow
it is alleged entered the dining
room cursing and sat down on the
table where they were eating. Mrs.
Walker is a woman of weak consti-
tuition and was naturally excited.
Gid Morrow it is said picked up her
cup of coffee and carried it around
behind him then sat it down to her
afterward. He then went away.
Mrs. Walker drank from the cup
and in a few moments was lying
PROSTATE on the floor. Neighbors
were summoned. Some ladies came
and assisted her to the door for
open fresh air, when she began
emitting. DIR. McElfresh was sum
moned and pronounced it a clear
case of poison. Later DR.. Hugh
Barbee was called; Mrs. Walker be-
coming worse. There is no doubt
the lady was poisoned, as dog that
licked up the matter emitted from
her stomach died a few minutes
later. The Prosecuting Attorney
was soon sought after and a warrant
was issued for Morrow's arrest and
placed in constable Foglesong's
hands, who arrested him last night,
and he was brought to Jail to await
hearing before Justice Phelps, to-
day.

IMPROVEMENT MEETING.
A BIG MEETING AT THE COURT
HOUSE LAST NIGHT
To Consider the Improvement of the
Ohio River, and Send Delegates to
Convention, Called by the Cincinnati
Chamber Of commerce.

In response to the call issued by
His Honor, Mayor Beller, goodly
number of the steamboat, river and
business men of Point Pleasant
and vicinity, met last night at the
Court House.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Beller, and proceeded to
organization by selecting Mr.. Geo.
W. Tippett as temporary chairman,
and II. Fl. Davis, secretary.
The call for the meeting, the Pc
tition and other correspondence
was read by the secretary, after
which a fuller and more detailed
recital of the intentions and desires
.of those at the head Of the move-
ment was made.
In a few words-the coming Con-
gress or Convention which is to be
held at Cincinnati on October 9Th,
directly under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce of that city,
is for the purpose of taking con-
certed action with all the people
living and interested in the Ohio
Valley, for the purpose of inducing
the government to make appropri-
ations for the general improvement
of the Ohio river-making this
great highway navigable for a
greater part of the year. Possibly
this will be by locks and dams, pos
sibly for the present, in larger
appropriations for keeping the
present snagboat at work more and
for the construction of additional
dredge boats, and for the fuller
purpose of permanently organizing
in the interest of the matter.
Remarks were made by all pres.
ent pertinent to this great under
taking, and it was the general will
of those attending the meeting last
night to send a delegation to Gin
cinnati.
After considerable discussion it
was decided to form a permanent
organization, to be known as the
Ohio River Improvement Organiza-
tion, of Point Pleasant, w. Va.
And the following officers were
chosen:
President, Capt. S. Il. Parsons;
Vice President, Mr.. Geo. W. Tippett;
Secretary, Mr.. II. II. Davis.
A difference of opinion prevailed
as to the proper number of dele
gates to be sent-some favoring a
large delegation-others small
one. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the executive committee,
which is made up of the following
gentlemen: George Pohenbarger,
W. II. Howard. Capt. W. a.
Wright, Capt. Ed. Burnside and
w. w. Cole.
The meeting adjourned to meet
on call of the executive committee.
GEO. w. TIPPETT, Chairman,
FL. FL. DAVIS. Secretary.

The County Court.

"Section % of article s of the
State Constitution provides that the
legislature may reform, alter, or
modify the County Court, and
create another tribunal for the
transaction of public business.
While the County Court, as now
constituted, is composed of good
men, who aim to do their duty on
all occasions, yet our present sys-
tenn is entirely wrong and inefficient.
The fiscal affairs of the county
are placed in the hands of three
men who are usually chosen because
they have a political pull. They
are not more than average men, and
in addition to conducting their own
private affairs the business of
wealthy and extensive county is
thrust upon them, with the result
that it is hastily performed, and is
controlled by expediency rather
than justice.
The membership Of the Court
should be enlarged to at least ten,
and one member should be chosen
from each district in which he
lives. In this way every part of
the county would be represented
and the minority party would al
ways have representation on the
board. The presence of members
of the opposition would have a
salutary effect upon the majority,
and would be productive of economy
and good service. Every part of
the county would receive attention
and care, and all grounds for
charges of favoriteism would be re-
moved. There can be no Just rea-
son for opposing a reform of this
kind. 1t is entirely non-political
and is a step in the direction of
more direct supervision on the part
of our public servants. Itmight be
urged that it would increase the ex-
pense by adding members, but this
objection would be overcome by the
economic way in which the affairs of
the county would be administered,
and its many advantages over the
present system are apparent Each
member from a district would watch
the leaks that now exist in his dis
trict, and would show to the court
where they could be cut off to the
advantage of the people, and save
thereby hundreds of dollars an
nually to the tax payers.
The term of service should be
reduced to at most two years, so that
the action of the board could be
controlled by the wishes OF the peo-
pie, or the board speedily repudiated. i.
Who will take the lead in the mat.
ter and at the next meeting of the
Legislature inaugurate this reform2
We invite discussion upon this
important matter.

New Roller Mill, situated on the
South Side, opposite Arbuckle, was
tested last Tuesday and proved most
satisfactory. A large number of
people were present to witness the
opening of the mill, which is to be
of so great a benefit to that section
of the county. The mill is now be-

flour equal to the best mills of the
country.
