Hon. j. r. Trotter, State Super
intendent of Schools has promul-
gated the following proclamation,
in conformity with a custom which
has long prevailed in this and 9th
er states, and in compliance with
public sentiment, designates Fri
day, November 10, as Arbor Day.
He says:
81 suggest that our schools, col
leges, and other educational insti-
.tutions, as we'll as the citizens of
the State, unite in such exercises
as may be appropriate to the oc-
casion. I also suggest, in addi
ton to the regular exercises, which
are primarily intended for adding
to the comfort and beauty of the
school grounds by the planting of
shade and ornamental trees, that a
systematic attempt be made to i'm
prove the interior appearance and
furnishing of our school buildings
Let this be the OCCASION for max
ing the rooms and grounds where
our boys and girls pass the best
hours of the day and the most i'm
pressible years of their lives so at
tractive that they will look back to
them in their mature years with
pleasant memories"

The Truth.

We clip the following from the
Parkersburg State Journal, a lead
ing Republican paper in this
State. The paragraph is very ap-
plicable and will be interesting
reading, and we hope profitable to
some of our Democratic kickers:
"The test of political fealty is to
take ones medicine like men, es-
pecialIy when the patient has been
doctor previously, aud dosed the
other fellows a kicker in politics
seldom has the respect of himself,
his own party or the opposite par
ty. But some traits are very
strongly developed in some people,
and wounded pride or ambition is
slow to yield to the salve of COM
mon sense"

Sentenced by Judge Biz
zard Today Quick Work

Special to Register.
RIPLEY, w Va, Nov 6.-John
F. Morgan, the murderer of Mrs.
Greene and her family near here,
last Tuesday, was today convicted
of murder in the first degree. The
jury made no recommendation.
Judge Blizzard willpronounce SEN
tence tomorrow, which viii surely
be death. Morgan on the stand
claimed that he acted in self de-
Tense. 1t turns out that his name
is not Morgan, but Raines, and
that his father killed a man named
Morgan, of whom he became jeal-
Gus, and was himself killed by some
of Morgan's relatives. Mrs. Greene
was Mrs. Pfost before she became
Mrs. Greene. The children MUIR
dered with her are Miss Mahala
Pfost and young James Greene.
Miss Alice Post, who was incor-
rectly reported dead yesterday, is
now likely to recover. She was the
chief witness for the prosecution.
LArER-Judge Blizzard passed
sentence on Morgan this morning
and sentenced him to be hung
on Friday, December II. Morgan
appeared unmoved when his SEN
fenced was pronounced. The
great crowds heaved sigh of re-
lief, when the judge pronounced
the fatal words and they have de-
parted for their home. The ex-
citement is over.

The Independent Washington
Post pays the indomitable Demec-

elections of 1897 have shown that
the Democracy rebounds from the
downfall of 1896 stronger and more
confident and combattve than ever.
1t is the Antaeus of our day. The
question is whether the Republi-
can party will prove to be its Her
cules. For the presentth Democ-
racy exhibits every quality of hero
ism. 1t has courage, it has the
genius of recovery and reconstruc-
ton, it knows not the meaning of
dismay. Defeat leaves it without
fear. Danger finds it without cow
ardice. 1t is miracle of vitality.

Yes, the grand old party of the
plain American people is not dead
nor dying by long, long ways. 1t
has outlived-many mushroom or

start up, bloom, blossom, bear their
fruit and wither and die; but the
