A Disastrous Storm.

There was lively storm Tuesday
afternoon in this section of Jefferson
county. Threatening clouds gathered
in the south and west, vivid lightning
flashed, and the thunder reared con-
tinuously. a heavy rain followed
accompanied by considerable hail.
In Shepherdstown the storm was
nothing like as severe as it was south
and west of US. An hour or two after
the rain had stopped here the water
from the Sandy Ridge country began to
come down upon US, and soon flooded
Princess and Mil streets and put
Frog Island" under water. The ex-
tensive gardens of Mr.. Benz. Hartzell
and Mr.. R. S. N. Hoffman were sub
merged, and that part Of the town be-
came a lake. Mr.. Hartzell sustained
some loss by the overflow, consider
able portion of the 5000 cabbages
growing in his garden being damaged
by the muddy water The garden OF
Mr.. Melvin Jones was also flooded and
considerably damaged. The big body
of water that flowed most of the night
indicated tremendous rain in the
Kearneysville neigbborhoOd, and we
learn that the hail caused some dam
age in that section. a number Of
window lights in Mr. J. 5. Osbourn
house were broken.
The worst feature Of the storm was
the hail, which did much damage south
of town. Itappeared to fall in streaks.
Where it was heaviest it destroyed
wheat and corn alike. About half of
Mr.. Geo. B. Coffnbargers brag field
of wheat was ruined, and several fields
belonging to Mr.. D. W Hendricks
were greatly damaged Others who
lost by the hail and rain combined
were Messrs. G. W. Banks, Lewis Lu-
cas-, Morris X. Hendricks, and Am
brose Hendricks. The wheat was cut
down to the ground, while the corn in
the path Of the storm had the blades
stripped entirely from the stalks. Mr..
John Allen Link, Mr.. Frank Jones
and Mr.. Robert Jones all lost very
heavily, large part of their wheat
and corn being completely ruined.
At Bakerton many window glass were
broken for Mr. Geo. NJ Duke, Mr..
Trunnell and others, and damage done
to the crops.
Dl. A. S. Reynolds is perhaps the
heaviest loser in this section. His
farm at Moler's Cross Roads caught
the full force OF the storm, and besides
running the corn crop, it utterly de-
stroyed the peach prospects. He has
very large peach orchard on the
place which was bearing for the first
time this year. He expected to get
from 900 to 800 bushels Of peaches,
but the hail riddled the trees and cut
the fruit from them as with a knife.
The estimates of the crop that may be
gathered run from nothing to fifty
bushels.
The hail in that section fell in
chunks as big as an egg in some cases,
and at noon next day could still be
seen in quantities.
Rattlesnake run was on a big tear.
From its headwaters to the river 1t
was raging torrent that oyerfowed
the bottoms and swept fences and all
other Instructions before it. At Capt.
Moler's it was about SIX or seven feet
deep.
Lightning struck straw stack on
the farm Of Mr.. VIM. H. Billmyer,
above town, setting it afre and con-
! suminG II.

Silent With a Snake.

Our friend Mr. John W. Marshall,
ofthe Kearneysville neighborhoOd had
snake for bedfellow the other night
and didn't know it until next day,
Mr.. Marshall retired as usual, and no.
ticed nothing unusual except that
when he stretched his feet toward the
bottom of the bed they got cold, as
though there was block Of ice in that
direction. Next morning he arose and
went about his daily duties, when
feminine screams called him to the bed
room. His daughter had discovered a
blacksnake over four feet long colled
ND in the room, and there were unmis-
taxable evidences that the snake had
kept warm in the bed by making Mr..
Marshall cold. 1t had crawled into
the room, it is thought, by way of the
branch of tree that swung next to
the window. Mr.. Marshall hated to
kill the snake, which had done him no
harm, be said, but for fear it might
catch and kill that chicken which had
been Matched from turkey egg he
finally concluded to despatch it.

WESTERN VIEW.

In explaining a recent interview With
an eastern gold standard advocate
Judge Bell of Colorado, said:
81 pointed out to him that by de-
stroying silver they destroyed the
American farmer, one of their very
best customers, by enabling the silver
using countries Of India and Russia
to drive them out Of the foreign mar,
ket. That they were enabling Japan
and other manufacturing centers using
silver to drive them out Of the trade Of
the world; that they could sell their
goods to gold standard countries for
one-half the price that they were sell
ing for in the silver using countries,
buy silver at half price, go back and
recover all their losses by coming it at
home and drive the American manu-
facturer out Of the market. I told them
that we could exist on 70-oent silver as
easy as the eastern farmer could on 40
cent wheat, and the entire talk vas for
the purpose Of convincing the eastern
man that Notwithstanding all Of their
efforts to destroy the west, the west was
better off in proportion today than the
east, which is a truth, and the only
thing that will ever give US silver will
be to convince the east that by destroy
ing silver they have destroyed the east
and the west. When mentioning the
tariff l said, No, if you want single
standard the west will not protect east
ern industries while you are destroying
western industries; if you think you
can exist on a gold standard and fres
trade We will see which stands it best
in the long run, though we do not want
either We want to protect all the
industries of the country, but we do not
propose to vote protection to the east
ern manufacturer while they are voting
destruction to our mining industries.

nENRPTIVE RFPnRTs-

1t a notorious fact that the treasury
statements issued from time to time
with respect to the handling of public
funds are not reliable. The boOkkeep-
ing, which is supposed to represent an
honest and straightforward account of
all financial transactions, does not
really serve that purpose, but is so ad-
justed as to conceal important facts
and convey false impressions. This
has been pointed out so often that the
country is familiar with it. The people
are given to understand by these "dOc-
tOred" statistics that q given situation
exists, when in reality it does not exist,
and thus the interests of Candor and
accuracy are sacrificed to promote the
designs Of political intriguers.
There is great need Of an entire re-
formation Of the methods and practices
that now prevail in the preparation of
reports which purpOrt to tell how the
business Of the treasury is being con-
Quoted. It is impossible for the aVers Ze
citizen to ascertain from a statement
of the public debt, for instance, how
much the government actually owes.

One feature of the bond evil not
mentioned in the above article, and
which carries with it even greater dis
sstrOus results than the enormous debt
incurred, is the currency contraction
caused by draining the treasury by
means of the circulating medium,
which when paid into the treasury in
exchange for gold can find no way out
except through q defioitin the revenues
of the government. Therefore, taking
into consideration the fact that the de-
ioit has been but a slight one, it is safe
to put the currency contraction at g
quarter Of billion dollars.
This contraction has caused an IN
preCedentsd drop in prices Of produce
and manufactured articles not upheld

decline in wages unprotected by labor
unions. It has also affected real and
