REALTY
TOTAL VALUATION

One of the most satisfactory exhibits
is In the list Of capi,ations returned.
Every one of the wards in the district
shows an increase, and the total is
5.121, or sol in excess Of last year FOR
the district. This increase Of sol voters
means the addition Of $500 people to
the upper wards. and with proper
tionate increase on the South Side the
city will show 500 more voters this
year than last, representing 1000 pOpu-
lation. The Island now numbers 1,136
voters, and will likely cast 1.2O0 votes
OF the next election. The First, Sec
ond and Third wards are well past the
1000 mark, for the first time in their
history and the Fourth has pulled up a
big notch. The detailed figures are as

that Dixon would fight at 116 pounds,

THE LEGISLATURE.

The West Virginia Legislature will
meet in its regular biennial session
at Charleston on Wednesday next,
January 9th. The session is limited to
forty-fve days, but the time may be
extended at the will of the Legislature.
Both the Senate and the House will
be controlled by the Republicans
for the first time in twenty years. A
United States Senator is to be elected
to succeed Senator Camden, whose
term expires March 3d. Hon, Stephen
B. Elkins will doubtless be elected to
the position, as many members Of the
Legislature have already pledged
themselves to his support.
Some important matters will be
brought before the Legislature. The
old fight for an increase in the State
school tax will be renewed, and will
likely be successful this time. The
usual row over the school ques-
ton may also be expected, Several
members have also announced their in
tention Of waging vigorous war against
the fee system in vogue in this State,
and there will be an interesting fight
over it. The Virginia debt is also to
be brought up, and desperate effort
will be made by the syndicates inter-
ested to obtain legislation favorable to
their claims. Public sentiment, how
ever, will, we believe, forbid any action
by which West Virginia shall be made
liable for any part of the burden that
these spectators are trying to fasten
on her. Beside the matters Of public
interest referred to, there will be many
measures of local character brought
up-suffcient to keep the Legislature
very busy if it is to adjourn at the
specified time.

Fatal Holiday Fires.

The hamlet Of Silver Lake, in Lake
county, Ore, was visited by terrible
calamity on Christmas eve, news of
which has only just reach the outside
world, as the place is $50 miles from
a telegraph Office. Forty-one persons
were burned to death and sixteen
badly injured, FIVE of whom will die.
A large crowd had assembled in Chris
man Brothers hall to attend Christ
mas-tree festival. While the festivi-
ties were at their height some one
climbed on a bench from which to get
a better view of what was going on.
In doing so his head struck lamp
hanging from the ceiling, overturning
it, The oil Immediately caught fire
and the confusion was so great that
the people began scrambling in wild
endeavor to reach the door. Women
and children were trampled under
foot, and as there was only one exit to
the hall and the fire being between the
majority of the crowd and the door,
many rushed headlong into the flames
The sight was a terrible one. Many
of the bodies were almost entirely
consumed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clark, of To-
ledo, Ohio, left their home Christmas
eve to buy presents for their children,
and when they returned an hour later
it was to find their son Arthur, aged
seven, and daughter Bonnie, aged four,
corpses. The children were left asleep
alone in the house. A fire broke out
in the kitchen. and both of them were
burned to death before help arrived.
The Delevan House, big hotel at
Albany, N. Y, was burned Sunday
night. Sixteen servants were burned
tn death with n

No Florida Oranges.

A despatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
says that the mercury went down to
IA above zero in that city just before
sunrise Monday morning, this record
being one degree colder than the tenn
perature during the great freeze of
1886 and the lowest since 1885. Re-
ports from Titusville, Tampa, Ocala,
Gainesville, Palatka and Sanford in
dictate that the mercury dropped to
about Is above zero in those locali-
ties. The orange and vegetable crops
are practically ruined. The best esti-
mates place the number of oranges at
present on the trees at fully 100000
boxes, and the officials of the Florida
fruit exchange in Jacksonville think
fully 100000 boxes have been frozen,
either wholly or partially. If this
estimate is correct the remaining Co.,
600 boxes will bring fabulous prices.
Ice formed on the streets of Jackson
vile Monday morning and in small
places about the docks.

THE REGISTER.

The REGISTER begins the new year
under favorable circumstances. 1t is
in its own comfortable and conven-
lent new home. and has quarters
equalled, we believe, by but one other
newspaper in West Virginia, the Ga
zette, at Charleston. It's equipment is
complete in every respect-presses,
machinery, type, ETC., being of the mod
ern sort and amply abundant for the
needs of the community. The volume
of business the past year was greater
than was ever known in the history of
the newspaper.
Our subscription list contains 925
names. A number of new subscribers
have been added for the first issue in
the new year, and fully as many have
been dropped for various reasons.
Those who failed to pay up are being
weeded out, for the REGISTER some
time ago came to the conclusion that
dead-head subscribers are poor in
vestment. A few discontinued their
subscriptions because of hard times,
and some because this or that thing
that has been printed has displeased
them. Two quit because they couldn't
get the paper little cheaper than any
one else gets it.
We have endeavored to print an
interesting paper for our readers the
past year, but acknowledge that it
might have been better. We promise
to give it our best efforts the coming
year, and hope to make it among the
very best of country journals. In re-
turn, we ask of the people Of the COM
muuity hearty support and generous
patronage for it is only by having
the goodwill Of the people that a
newspaper can be published that will
be a credit to the old town so dear to
US all.

Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires constitutional treatment.

Though the snow-fakes fell fast on
Wednesday night of last week, the en-
tertainment at Bethesda will be long re-
membered by those who had the oppor-
tunity to enjoy the ability displayed by
those who participated in the exercises
on that occasion. All those who took
part in the exercises deserve some eu-
logy; but be it said to the credit of
Misses Mary and Essie Knott who sang
a duet, that they not only acquitted
themselves in the most creditable man
ner, but made the occasion great sue

The Christmas exercises of the Pres
byterian Sunday school in Shepherds
town were held Monday afternoon, De
cember oath, at 4 o'clock. They had a
very pretty Christmas service, published
by the Presbyterian Board at Philadel-
phia, entitled Peace on Earth" The
music was sung in bright, spirited
manner by the school. The superintend-
emit, Mr.. Joseph McMurran, conducted
the responsive Scripture readings. A
recitation by Miss Nellie Grove, and
another by Julia Reinhart, were well
rendered. Adelightful little hymn, "In
the wintry heavens" was beautifully
sung by four little girls, Mary Trussell,
Lorraine Turner, Mamie Grove and Lucy
Beltzhoover. An address was made by
the pastor, Rev. Charles Ghiselin. The
children received as presents boxes of
French candy and oranges. The money
gathered by the children of the Sunday
school and church in the money barrels
amounted to S24 Is, which is to be sent
to the Presbyterian Home and school
for orphans of missionaries and minis
tiers" at Fredericksburg, Va, to be used
in furnishing room.
The Kearneysville Presbyterian Sun
day school held their Christmas exer-
cises Friday night, December %, at
o'clock. Their service was entitled
Christmas JOY" and consisted of reel
tations, hymns and Scripture readings.
Candies and oranges were distributed,
and an offering made, which amounted
