AN ILLINOIS BANKERS VIEWS!
He Comes Out solid for Bryan and the
Ticket.


J. S. Thompson, president of the
first national bank at Lacon, Illinois
writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"We do not have one Chicago pa
per to advocate the great cause yet
it is spreading fast l have been a
gold bug Democrat, as the term goes,
yet when / saw the Wall street
crowd, who have ruled the national
conventions of both parties for many
years, kick because they could nc
longer cruelty the American people
ON cross of gold, / made up my
mind to come out solid for w, j.
Bryan and the whole ticket. i have
been president of the First National
bank of this place for many years,
and have personal loans to the
amount of half million dollars in
Nebraska, and / am willing to trust
the American people, headed by w.
j. Bryan. If the st. Louis gold plat
form is the thing, why do they want
to change it when England will let
them? The American people cannot
be fooled any longer with the old
scapegoat with golden horns. He has
bucked the life out of the farmers
and all working people. have been
looking back in history to find an
equal to the present oppression which
the Republican party is trying to
clinch on the American people for
four years more, and there is no
equal since the Pharoahs of Egypt.
Bryan and Sewall will be the Moses
to lead the enslaved white people
this fall, and prosperity and happi-
ness will will once more return to
our country

The people of West Virginia are
just beginning to understand and
appreciate the splendid opportuni
ties offered to them by their owl
State University. 1t used to be that
many of our young men and women
went to other States for their higher
education, but the time has come
when those who do so make great
mistake.
The attendance at the University
reached four hundred last year
nearly all of the counties in the
State being represented. When We
consider the fact that the Universe
ty has six splendid buildings with
apparatus of the finest quality and
up to date, notably strong faculty
and that tuition is free in every dc
partment to every West Virgins
young man and young woman, seems
that at least thousand students
should be in the University taking
advantage Of these great opportuni-
ties.
The University Is our chief insti-
tuition Of learning, the head of the
public school system of West yir-
ginia, and every West yirginian is
proud of its progress and prosperity.
We hope to see Writ county well
represented at Morgantown next
year. Wfrt County Times.

SPECIAL SESSION COUNTY COURT.
Provision Made for Repairing Dana.
ges Done by the Recent Heavy
FlOOds-Free Bridge Talk.

The County Court of Monongalia
County assembled in special session on
Monday and Tuesday of this week in
response to the call of the president,
to ascertain the extent of the damages
done throughout the county by the re-
cent destructive floods, and to provide
for making all necessary repairs.
AS the result of their investigation
the following order was passed.
Tuesday, Aug. 4, 1896:
''The court having ascertained as
far as practicable the character and
extent of the damages done to the
roads and bridges in this county by
the late extraordinary floods, and con-
sidered in general way, how far it
is practicable to repair said damages
at the present time, 1t is ordered that
John G. Price, President of this court
be appointed special commissioner to
contract for and superintend the max
ing of such repairs to the roads and
bridges in this county on the East
side of the Monongahela River, as he
shall deem indespensably necessary,
under the gensral understanding this
day had by the court among them
selves, and that the said special COM
missioner report all such contracts
with specifications to the next regular
session of the court.
And that A. B. Price and JoeI
Bowlby the other member of the
court, be appointed special commits
sioners to contract for and superin-
tend the making of such repairs to
the roads and bridges of this county
on the West side of the Monongahela
river, as they shall deem indispensa-
bly, necessary under general under
standing this day had by this court
among themselves, and that the said
special commissioners report all such
contracts with specifications to the
next regular session OF the court.
Owing to the repairs that will have
to be made in order to place the roads
and bridges throughout the county in
good condition again there has been
an opinion expressed by some In favor
Of submitting to the vote Of the tax
payers of the county the question OF
making bond issue to cover all nee
essary repairs, and also to include a
provision for purchasing the suspen-
sion bridge across the Monongahela
River. The court did not consider
this question however, as there are
sufficient funds In the county treasury
to cover the cost OF all repairs, and 1T
was not deemed advisable to burden
the county with an issue OF bonds
The town council have also consid-
cred the question Of purchasing the
suspension bridge, and will likely
stand ready when the time does come
to take such step to act In conjunc-
tion with the county court In giving
the citizens Of the county free
bridge across the Monon gahela River

A VERY MARROW ESCAPE.
A. ]. Garlow's Family Almost Carried
Down by a Falling Bridge.

RosEpALE, July 3l.-During the re-
cent flood seven persons were ON high
bridge near the home OF A. j. Carlow
watching the high water. As the bridge
was about Is feet from the ground it was
not thought to be dangerous. Just as
the people separated TO go to their
houses the foundation gave way and one
end OF the bridge went down. They all
succeeded in getting off but GAZE the
only boy of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j Carlow,
aged five years. The little fellow was
fortunate enough to hold on and he
had inIthe other hand an umbrella. He
climbed about half way up the steep
plank that one end was near the water,
the other on sill that still remained on
the foundation. His mother being pres.
ent ran out on the sill and rescued her
boy, not knowing what minute it would
all be swept away. Mrs. Carlow says
she has no desire the watch the high
water again, and it certainly was a Prov
idential act that they all escaped.
