Probably the old man killed the
fatted calf In moment Of pique.
You can always find out the most
there is In a man by kicking his dog
In order to know woman fully a
man must not be married to her over
week.
Very few men can refuse a girl when
she proposes to them without feeling
mean about it.
If a man knew why woman didn't
like him he would lose all respect for
her intuition.
A girl would good deal better
know what she oughn't to say than to
say what she oughnt to know.
When man is pointed out to girl
as woman-hater she always tries to
look scornful and indignant at him.
The world doesn't want to hear your
troubles unless you can tell them so
as to make it either laugh or cry.
II q man wore feather and a glas S
hatpin on his hat and nice pink rib
bon around his neck, he would look
just as sweet as a woman with der
by and a stiff collar and shirt front.

FOUR STATE MEETINGS IN ONE.
Ho-tieulturists, Wool Growers, Sheep
Breeders and Agriculturists.

The annual meeting of the State
Horticultural Society, Sheep Breed
ers and Wool Growers Association,
together with the State Board of
Agriculture, will be held at Martins
burg, w. Va, October, II, IL, IA and
Is, 1897.
The Horticultural Society will
open the four days session promptly
on the morning of the 18th; the
Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers
on the 18th; the last two days being
given over to the State Board Of Ag-
riculture and State Grange.
1t is hoped that every Horticultur-
list, Sheep Breeder and Agriculturist
will avail himself of this opportunity
for becoming acquainted with others
interested in his particular line, and
their methods of doing work.
The Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Chief of the Depart
ment of Pomology, both OF the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, have
given assurance that they will at
tend and address the meeting.
These meetings are for the pro-
motion of the industries which they
represent They are not for a single
section of the State, but for all. Let
each, therefore, either attend the
meetings in person, or write con
else statement of any problem with
which he has to deal, or any expert
ence which he may have had which
will aid others either TO improve their
methods, or avoid mistakes. In the
treatment of diseases of our fruit
trees we must have cooperation,
else little good will result. Indepen-
dent effort cannot accomplish tho
same results as cooperation, so in
helping ourselves, we help others. 1t
is function of these meetings to
aid in formulating schemes for such
combined efforts and to disseminate
knowledge relating to the advent of
enemies and disease, as well as meth
DDS of culture and marketing.
The railroads have formerly grant
ed reduced rates to these meetings,
and the same is expected this year.
The place and time of meeting were
chosen with view of giving those
not familiar with the fruit develop
ment in the eastern panhandle an
opportunity to study the methods,
as well as the extent of the apple,
grape and peach industries Of that
section.

MRS. KIMEs' TURN.
Denies Charges Of Intimacy says Her

PARKERsBuRe, w. Va, Aug. 2S.-
Mrs. HINES, whose husband was re-
Gently relieved from the payment of
the fine imposed on him for shoot
ing Ben Hall, by Governor Atkin-
son, in sensational letter, publish
es card denying the charges of her
alleged intimacy with Hall, assert.
ing that since her husbands pardon
he appears to think he can take her
life and abuse her much as he pleases
before doing so. She alleges that
within the past few days he met her
ON the street, where he assaulted
her, threatening to kill her. After
denying that her husband is employ
ed in Wheeling, she states that Hall
has not been in this city, as far as
she knows, for many months, and
closes by saying:
II have offered my husband every
thing within reason to induce him
to stay with his family and to show
my devotion to him, yet he taunts
me with Hall, threatens to kill me,
and has our children frightened to
death. / now ask him to end this
matter once and forever"

OHIO LOSING PRESTIGE
As a Coal Producing state. West Yir-
ginia Benefited by the strike,

THE prestige. of Ohio as coal
state has been pretty well knocked
out by this last strike" remarked a
b. & O. S. W., official yesterday.
Every time there is strike we al
ways lose considerable business that
we are never able to get back again.
Somebody else steps in and gets
it, while the strike is in progress
and we can't help ourselves. They
give good service and keep the bust
ness so that we can't get it back
even after the strike is over
''This has been particularly true
of West Virginia during the past
few years. The frequent strikes in
this state have thrown Ohio con.
tracts right into the hands of the
West Virginia operators. and as
they have managed to keep theiI
men at work, they have retained u
good many of the contracts. If they
can keep their men at work through
the strike, they viii have things all
their own way after the strike is
over, no matter which side wins. -

THE board of trustees, of Union
College, at Buckhannon, have de
cided to move the institution from
that place to Mason City and the
next session of the school will be
held at the latter place. The inten-
ton to make this change was denied
when it was published in this pape r
some months ago.
An exchange says that an editor
once applied at the door of hades for
admission. "Well," replied his sable
majesty, 'we let ono of your profcs-
sion in here many years ago, and he
kept up continual row with bis
former delinquent subscribers; and
as we have more of that class of
persons than any other, we passed a
law prohibiting the admission Of ed
itors."
J. p FRALEY, OF Buffalo, Putnam
county, arrived in Huntington last
week and was introduced to Miss Ida
Wyant, whom he had never seen nor
heard of before. He was slightly in
toxicated and told the young woman
he was hunting wife. A proposal
followed She accepted, license was
Immediately procured, and the couple
was married in just lS minutes from
the time they met. Fraley is quite
wealthy. He was sober the pext day
and claimed he was married simply for
fun. He says he will sue for divorce

THE pension roll of the United
States has almost reached the mil
lion mark. Commissioner Evans has
just issued statement showing
that at the beginning of this fiscal
year the pensioners numbered just
933, 527, an increase of 1850 for the
past year. During that year 50,l0l
new pensions were granted and g.
97l,persons were restored to the roll,
Old age and disease, however. is
working great inroad into the lists,
for there were $3.50 deaths during
the year. Other sources of loss
were l,064 from remarriage of wild
ows; 1,S45 orphans attained MAORI
ty; 1858 failures to claim pensions,
and 1850 losses from unrecorded
causes.
THE ''unwritten law as interpreted
by Judge Falconer, Of Lexington, KY,
and Gov. Atkinson, of West Virginia,
is bearing fruit. Joe Jones met his
wife walking down the pike with
Will Rankin, near Lexington, and
blew his head off with a shot gun. He
had advanced one step on the judge
and the governor, and held that when
ever a husband caught another man
with his wife he had right to kill
him, says the Baltimore "News." 1t
is easy enough to decide what ought
to be done with Joe Jones-he ought
to be hanged by the neck-the ques-
ton is what should be done with
judges like Mr. Falconer and govern
ors like Mr.. Atkinson, who invited
men to -blooded murders Of this
sort

The highest price ever paid for
wheat in Chicago was in 1867.
That is the year those good people
who recoil at the thought of good
prices caused by short crops else
where love to tell the farmer about.
The average price, based on four
quotations per month as above dur
ing 1867 was $$1.95 in currency,
equivalent to $1.40 in gold. The
average price of 1866 on the same
basis of computation was Sligo in
gold. The reports of the agricultur-
al department at Washington. for the
years 1866 and 1867 tell why these
years were good, explains the Chica-
go Times Herald. They say that in
1866 the wheat crop for the third
consecutive Vear was deficient, and
that the crops of England and
France were equally short. Our to-
tai exports of wheat in 1867 were
only 100000 bushels. The short
crops abroad for these years, with
our inability to supply the shortage
advanced the price of wheat in Liv-
erpool so cents per bushel. But by
the last half of 1869, under a return
of good crops, No. spring wheat in
Chicago had fallen lower, gold value
than it has been in 1897.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon,
community of simple, honest, God
fearing men and women, have pre-
pared the Shaker Digestive Cordial
for many years, and it is always the
same, simple, honest, curative medi-
cine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-lived peo-
pie that they are. The Shakers new
er have indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode of life,
partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indi-
gestion is caused by stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive
juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies what's wanting, Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial invigorates the stomach
and all its glands so that after
awhile they don't help. AS evidence
of the honesty of Shaker Digestive
Cordial, the formula is printed on
every bottle. Sold by druggists,
price 10 cents to $1.OO per bottle.

In the Public Eye.

No State in the Union has occu-
pied more conspicuous place on the
stage of public events, in recent
months, than our own West Virgin
ia. The passing show of happenings
that have assumed National interest
have been many and large percent
age of them have directed the public
eye in this way.
1t was in West Virginia, in fact
in Parkersburg, that the first test of
the civil service law attracted the
attention of the country, when three
Office deputies in the United States
Marshal's office in this district, sue
ceeded in keeping tenure of office
by means of the now famous injunc-
ton granted by Judge jackson.
For weeks the success of the great
miners strike has hinged on the ac-
tion of West Virginia miners and
operators, and both sides are focus
ing all of their endeayors in this
state.
1t was Judge Jackson's injunc-
ton, issued here, restraining the
strikers from interfering with the
working miners on the property of
the operators, that aroused storm
of Indignation in the whole press of
the land mainly because it was
sent out incorrectly to the press.
That injunction and similar ones is
sued by him have probably percipi-
tated more discussion on the uses
and abuses of injunctions than was
ever before agitated in the press.
Coming to more recent events, one
which has put our commonwealth
VIGOROUSLY to the foreground, is the
now famous official document issued
by Governor Atkinson, in which he
expressed sympathy with W. S.
Hines for not killing Ben Hall. This
unique stand, taken by our Cover
nor, has probably been the subject
of discussion in every city in the
Union and columns upon columns
of editorials have been hurled at the
author of that remarkable doctrine
of shot gun justice.
Within-the past week the nation S
eye has again turned this way to
witness the first arrest of miners in
the strike for violating an injunc-
ton of the United States court. 1t
was reserved for West Virginia to
have the first test case, and now that
case is history and the country is
thoughtfully considering the wis
dom and scope of Judge COTS able
decision rendered in sentencing the
strikers, held guilty of contempt.
What will develop next to put
West Virginia in the foreground
time alone can tell. 1t is question
able whether this prominence in
some respects, and notoriety in 9th
ers, thus attained by the foregoing
events is altogether beneficial to the
State. In other words, does all kinds
of advertising pay?
