Bro. Haddox's Opinion.

Lincoln Citizen.
Among the contestants for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor are George w. Atkinson, of
Wheeling; p. w. Morris, of Richie
county; w. S. Edwards, of
Charleston, and John A. Hutchin-
son, of Parkersburg, will probably
consent to run for the supreme
bench and will have no opposi-
ton. T. Il. McDougal, of Ceredo,
should have no opposition for
treasurer. Geo. B. Gibbons, of
Parkersburg, wants to be auditor.
1t cannot be prophesied whether
the state will support Harrison or
Mckinley in the national conven-
ton. Goff and Elkins are mighty
big men. Elkins and Harrison
are sweet on each other, and Gof
and Mckinley are as thick as
sweethearts. Hence the attitude
of the future delegation is thickly
yelled.

n. Y. Advertiser.
Hon. Stephen 3. Elkins, Sena-
tor from West Virginia, and with
in the past few years n putative
candidate for first or second place
on the Republican national ticket,
has for many years had his shingle
out in a business way at the Wash
ington Building, on lower Broad
way. Politically, Mr.. Elkins bas
not figured very extensively IN the
local mind, and until very recent
ly has not been pushed to the
front in this city as a Presidential
or Vice Presidential possibility.
Except, perhaps, by such per-
sonal friends as Commissioner f..
G. O'Brien and others who have a
warm admiration for the Senator
from West Virginia, there has not
been a0y serious discussion regard
ing his chances hereabouts.
Nevertheless, the Elkins boom
has been launched in an eminent
ly practical way. and the field
chosen for its entree is an excel
lent missionary ground. Within
a few days the Elkins Club has
been organized in the Twenty
and Twenty-fourth Wards, and it
is claimed it will figure as one of
the strongest adjuncts to the Re-
publican organization In that sec
ton.

NUMBER 8.
Big BUSINESS
is NOW BEING DONE by
THE N. & w. II. r.
About Two Hundred Cars Of Goat
and Coke a Ddu are Now Hauled
Over That Road.
Orders For More Than the Company
Can Possibly Haul at Present.

| Orucrs FOR More Than the COMPANY
Can Possibly Haul at Present.
There has not been, since the
existence of the N. & w. r. r., as
much BUSINESS transacted as has
been done during the past few
weeks.
The coal and coke traffic 10 i'm
mepse and it is impossible for the
company to Till the orders at pres
ent for want of workmen at the
mines and rolling stock for the
railroad.
The output of coke in the Flat
Top and Elkhorn fields, alone, last
week was nearly 1900 cars. The
coal shipments reached 1880 cars,
which is an enormous output for
ono field.
The N. & w. r. r. Co. is con-
tinuously adding rolling stock and
rs soon as more miners can be Sc
cured nearly twice the amountwili
be shipped.
While the REPORTER scribe was
making his rounds yesterday he
stopped al Supt. Barger's Office
and, finding a pleasant and cour-
toous gentleman, interviewed him
IN regard to the large business
that is being transacted by that
road. In reply to questions adj
dressed to him, Mr.. Barger said:
ave are doing good business
and could do more if men could be
secured for the mines, and we had
the rolling stock to facilitate the
orders we have on hand.
We are now hauling an average
of about 200 cars day aud have
orders for more than we can Dos
sibly supply with the facilities we
have at present.
As regards the ten engines leas-
ed, l do not know anything about
that, but they would amount to
nothing as far as filling our orders
are concerned.
We are constantly adding roll
ing stock and possibly by spring
we will be able to do much larger
business than at present"
This good news will be read
with interest by the laboring class
especially the railroaders.
We are informed that some two
or three crews have been promot-
ed during the past few days and
that several new crews have been
.added.-Kenova Reporter.

GOOD MEMBERSHIP LIST.

The club has been established
at Shea's Hall, 148tb street and
Willis avenue, and has already
been incorporated with a member
ship list that really looks like bus
iuess.
The club organization is not the
only means by which the interest
Of Republicans is to be stimulated
or the name Of Elkins to be made
familiar to the citizens of New
York. The Elkins Battery is also
being recruited, and by the time
the panic and chowder season is
ushered in a well drilled, hand
somely uniformed company Of stall
wart Republicans, with a crack
drum corps, will wake the echoes
as they tramp through the streets
of Morrisania and fremont.
Already Secretary Henry Jen-
king reports that over $50 appli-
cations for membership in the bat
terry have been made.

His Last Trick Turned i.

About four miles from Davy there
is little mound about twenty feet
from the railroad. That is all. No
sign or mark is on il to show what
it coutains, but nevertheless tho
bones Of famous character are un>
der the heap of dirt. The bones of
the once notorious "Yellow Jacket" +"
That was the only name he was ever
known by. lie was known from
here to Cincinnati rs one of the
slickest three card monte men in tho
country. He followed up the Nor
folk d Western railroad when it first
came through this section. One day
when force of men employed byl
the railroad were camping at the
spot where the above mentioned&
grave is, "YellOw Jacket" came NJ s
and enticed them into a game ands;
feeced them. When the men found
they had been duped by sharper Of
their hard earned cash, they simply
pulled out their guns and mortally
wounded the "Yellow Jacket" and
when he died, they dug his grave,
rolled him into It, threw little
dirt over him and then moved their
camp to new quarters.-McDow

Secret Orders.

The celebrated DR.. Talmage says
very truly that 81 might as well
preach against a very busy ant hill
or bee hive as to declaim the secret
societies, or to cry out against the
existing order of things. Asso-
citation is a divine arrangement.
Men are made for companIonship.
No life is or can be- absolutely self
existent. We depend upon each
other. Secrecy is largely true of
both secular and sacred things.
Council or Lodge hall is not q
church, but all true beneficiary
Orders owe their existence to the
spirit of christianity. They are
children of the church in the sense
that they were born under chris
tian influence. They are auxiIi.
aries to the church in the work of
benevoleDce. They are co-workers
in the great sense Of humanity in
amelioration Of the human race
and in the promotion Of the in
forests of mankind. ."-Lodge Week

Kenova is as quiet town as any

The little fight to which reference

no desire TO be as tough as Hunting

The RumOr Published in an Atlanta
Paper Erroneous.
Athens, Ga, Jan. THE news published
IN yesterdays Atlanta journal concerning
rumor to the effect that President S.
d. Bradwen of the state normal school
would resign his position on account of
the legislature appropriating only $1,000
Tor new dormitory al Rock college, is
positively and emphatically denied py
President Bradwell. President BradWel
says he wanted $4,000 for the dormitory
but was gratified to get 81 600, and that he
was certain the money would bring good
results. He has no idea whatever OF re-
signing and says the report was a piece
of senSatiOnalism.
President Bradwell has been busy for
several weeks corresponding with Hon. J.
L. NJ. Curry, trustee of the Peabody fund
in regard to securing help from that fund
for the state normal school. He has re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Curry stating that
5000 has been appropriated for this year,
and President Bradwell hopes to receive
still more next year. He has several other
plans for the increasing of the revenues
of the state normal school which he thinks
will materialize.
