IT Is enough to make the average
voters head swim trying to reconcile
the conflicting statements of the
gold bug press. Here is an exam
lple: Free coinage means giving 100
cents to the Western mine owner for
80 cents worth of silver and. it also
means 80 cent dollar for the work
ingman. How it can be worth 100
cents and 80 cents at the same time
is problem too deep for any one
but gold bug to understand.

All the subscribers who have gone
to another world have neglected to
leave word to have their paper for

a few neglected to make arrange

their flight. Printers Companion
says 1T is pretty rough on the mourn
ers, but the paper would have to be
wet down well to reach them.

THE only tie that binds Dorsey
Slime to West Virginig is soon to be
severed by the stern hand of the
Law. Since his exile from Morgan
town, Dorsey has not been in com
munication with his wife having
seemingly shuffied off the marriage
ties when he shook the dust of the
city from his feet This, together
with his cruel treatment of her
while here has led her to bring suit
for divorce on the grounds of
abandonment and desertion and
cruel and inhuman treatment. Dor
sey cannot return to answer the suit
on account of a standing capias
against him. 1t is to be hoped that
this is positively his last appear
ance' as Morgantown is heartily
tired with the recital of his villianies.
CoNDUcToR Mike Burke of the b.
q o. is sporting an almond tinted
shanty over his eye, but the fellow
who built the shanty is in the repair
shop and the physicians are trying
to get his face back in shape. 1t
occurred Thursday evening ON the
train which leaves here at O'clock.
A man named Ruble got aboard the
train here to go to Cans station. He
had a large number of packages with
him which filed up the seat and
Conductor Burke made him take
them to the baggage car, and the
baggage master levied tax of %
cents. This led Ruble to apply the
epithet of thief and few other
names that don't look well in print.
All this the good natured conductor
endured, with great fortitude, but
when Ruble called him Dutchman
and enriched the epithet with adj
jectives not found in polite literature
is was to much for Patsie's Irish
blood and he told Ruble what he
thought of him. When the latter
got off at Cans he hit Burke on the
head with stone. Burke stopped
the train long enough to give his
man good rommeling in the dust.
Officers are also on the search for
Ruble to let the law take another
fall on him. Uniontoscn Standard
