| the needs of the various localities.
| The most liberal provision is made for
1 the education of all. 1t is a fact In
| which the people can take much pride
| that in only four States of the Union
! are there a larger per cent. of the
population in the enrolment of school
| children.
In the United States the enrolment,
| in 1890, was 20.29 per cent; in West
| Virginia it was 1884; in some of the
States it was as low as IL, and in one
State as high as 27.98; but, as ] before
said, in only four States were there a
greater proportion of the population
attending school.
The length of the State north and
south gives a range of latitude that
carries with it a variety oil climate.
We have the climate of Pennsylvania
in the Upper Panhandle, AMI OF Ken
lucky and Virginia on the Southern
border. There are rugged winters, not
severe, but cold enough in the noun
tains to help form the strong, resolute
character of their inhabitants. The
valleys are sheltered, well watered. and
the meadows rich in soil and produc-
ton. The rate of mortality is low
and fevers are infrequent In the
whole State, in 1890, there were but
~ deaths attributable to malarial
causes.
In every age and country agricul-
ture has been the mast honorable pro-
fession. The strongest elements of
manhood are developed on the farm.
In the early history Of the world no
man reached distinction who was not
a husbandman. The orators and SOL
dlers OF Greece, the statesmen of
Rome, were all proficient in the culti-
walton of the soil. The State encour-
aged it, the laws required it. These
nations remained great so long as ag-
ricultural pursuits predominated but
when attention was diverted therefrom
the seeds of discomfort were sown.
profiigacy ensued and ruin came. In
our times the strongest men in COM
mercial and political life have come
from the farm. and to-day the men
who stand first in the legislative halls
and in the marts of trade are coun-
try bred
Aclose acquaintance with Nature
and Natures laws STRENGTHENS the
moral character. Fraud and fiction do
not terminate in the soil. Rascaiity
is not bred upon the farm. but feeds
upon the temptations of city life"

A BAD ACCIDENT.

A few days ago Capt. Charles Ball,
a B. & o. passenger conductor on the
Pittsburg division, met with a very
severe accident at Finleyville. His
train stopped there, and in attempting
to get back on again, after assisting
some of his passengers off. he was
struck by a truck on the platform.
At first it was not thought that his
injuries were serious, but when he re-
turned to Pittsburg that evening he
was obliged to ask for leave Of alb
sence He is much better, however, at
this writing and will soon be on duty
again.

a register reporter yesterday called
upon ex-senator Henry G. Davis, at
the Mcclure House. As mentioned
yesterday, he is here in attendance
upon the Fair and has met many old
friends, some of whom he has not seen
Tor years. Senator Davis once repre-
sented the Mountain State in the upper
mouse of the national legislature, and
sui man.fests deep interest n the
development and progress of the Com
monwealth.
Speaking of West Virginia and its
resources, Senator Davis said: 1.-The
state occupies a unique position geo.
graphically. When it was part of old
virginia it was very naturally placed
among the Southern States, but now
geographers are sometimes troubled to
KNOW how to classify it. It's principal
CITY is within one hundred miles OF
Lake Erie. In this part of the State it
mas for its neighbors the prosperous
ana leading States of Pennsylvania on
the east and Ohio on the west. Many
81 slts citizens have come from these
States,A attracted by the newer and
larger fields of enterprise among its
mines and forests in lines of industry
with which they are familiar.
The navigable rivers which form
natural boundaries with other States
are of immense value to West Virginia
This was considered of great import
in th0 ap1xy -
lie, and Virginia succeeded in making
the opposite shore of the Ohio river the
boundary line of the State The State
borders on this river for two hundred
miles or more, and at the south leaves
1t to follow the Big Sandy, which
separates West Virginia from Ken
lucky. Following the boundary to the
northeast we cross the Allegheny
mountains and do not stop until we are
within sixty miles of the nations cap
ftaf at the head of tideWater from the
Atlantic.
\ 1.-THE mining industry of the State
probably attracts the most attention
West Virginia now stands third among
the coal producing States, having re-
GENTLY passed Ohio by small margin.

To make this quite clear it need
only be stated that these figures show
that on an average Ohio's citizens per
CAPITA owe three, and Pennsylvania
for times as much as West Virgin
las. and that for every dollar each
person pays in interest annually over
four dollars is paid by the people of
Pennsylvania.
TIE stability of West Virginias COM
mercial interests is well shown by
statistics on that subject. In 1890. out
of 37.260 business concerns of all
kinds, there were but 1872 failures, a
little over one-half of one per cent,
or only one in every two hundred. The
average of tn ewhole country was one

New York, Nov. 23-The second trial of Martin Thorn for .he murder of Will liam Guldensuppe was fairly started this afternoon in the Queens county court
 The lawyers for the prosecution and de-

 men, the other five jurors were selected

 John Mcclure, one of the boys who found the first bundle of Guldensuppes
 remains in the ldver, was called as the first witness.
 The testimony of the several witnesses examined during the afternoon related soley to the finding of the different DOT tions of the body. It was practically the same as that gone over at the first trial and nothing new was elicited. Several of Guldensuppe's fellow wofKmen at the
 bath house described the marks by which they had identified the body as that of the missing man and at APO the court adjourned until tomorrow.

A STRANGE DEVELOPMENT
Which Grew Out of the Investigation of the
 Ketcham Case.

Chicago, Nov. 23-A curious phase of the Ketcham case developed today. Two women interested in the outcome have, unknown to each other, been near negh- bors in this city. They are Mrs. Ketcham and Mrs. Frank l.. Titus, niece of MT. John Walkup, ex-mayor of Emporia, Kas.. who made Mrs. Ketcham, ttsn IT years old, his wife and died shortly af- forwards from arsenic poisoning.
 Mrs. Titus was quite young at the time of the trial in Kansas, but remembers distinctly the mysterious death of John Wallxup, the trial of the child wife for murder and the speedy and dramatic ac- quittal.
 By a strange coincidence Mabel Wal lace and Mrs. Titus have been living within few blocks Of each other in Chi cago, but neither knsw of the existence of the other and it was not until the sem sation over the death of John B. Ketch- am again drew public attention to Mabel Wallace (Mns. Ketcham) that Mrs. Titus knew that the dark-eyed woman who was acquitted of causing the death of her husband was her neighbpr.
