Barboursyille, w. Va, April 19.-Il
is reported here to-day that Mrs. Char.
ley Reynolds went to the home of her
mother-in-law, Jane Reynolds, who re.
sides about one mile from Fudges
Creek postoflce, yesterday evening, and
deliberately murdered her by chopping
her head off with an axe.
1t appears that young Reynolds and
his wife have not been getting along
very well lately, and were not living
together.
They had two children, who were be-
ing kept by Charley's mother.
Yesterday, the report says, Charley's
wife went to see the children and the
old lady seeing her approaching, told
her she could not come into the house,
and closed the door and locked it,
Charleys wife became wild with an
ger, and finding an axe chopped down
the door, and entering the house, d.
the old lady a deadly blow, felled her
to the floor. and afterwards decapitated
her with the weapon.
The younger Reynolds woman is
daughter of Niyick Mayes, who resides
on Guyandotte river, above Barbours-
Vile, and is a niece Of the wife of Char
ley NJ. Ebeling, who was sent to the
penitentiary many years ago under the
charge of numbering her husband. She
is also a niece of Joseph Mayes, who
was killed by John Love, on Saunders's
Creek, a year ago.

Kansas and Her Future.

The ADVOCATE agrees with it's neigh
Dor, the Capital, in the following para
graphs which we clip from a recent issue
Of that paper:
"The West is already justified for the
effort it made through the Topeka con-
vention eight years ago to secure an
appropriation from Congress for Calves
ton hRrbor, though at that time even
among the most prominent men at the
convention there was feeling that the
movement would come to nothing, that
the convention was rather for buncombe
than for business. That convention has
resulted in greater present and prospec-
tive benefit to Kansas and its sister
States than any other political gather
ing held in the West since the war.
"The export crops Of Kansas to-day
sell on the farm for equal prices with the
same products Of Iowa, two hundred
miles nearer the Atlantic, and nearly as
high as those of Illinois and Indiana.
The time is near at hand when good
farm land in Kansas will bring as high q
price per acre as good farm lanG Of Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana or Ohio. Kansas is enter
ing upon a new era, with brighter
promise than at any period in her his
tory. The man who stays by Kansas
and the man who migrstes to this State
or who invests his money here will never
have cause to regret his faith in the
capacity Of the Sunfower kingdom to
overcome all misfortunes and obstacles
and win higher place among the
sisterhood Of American commonwealth
than she has ever held in the past"
The advocate., 1897-04-21

Of the road who has the right to the use
of the road, it being common carrier,
upon the payment Of an equitable rate!
"In the discussion OF this case in the
court below Mr.. Justice Brewer in his
opinion calls attention to the fact that
the Union Pacific railroad could probs-
bly, be built for $4,000 a mile. He refers
to that evidence and points out that the
United States Congress had permitted
the issue of bonds drawing, l think, 6
per cent, and that the government itself
had then taken a second lien. These
two liens amount to $4,000 a mile, and
the court below referred to it as an in
justice to so fix rates that the road could
not earn enough to pay fixed charges
"We insist, Your Honors, that the
right Of the patron to reasonable rates
cannot be ignored, and if the United
States government has taken a second
mortgage upon property for more than
it is worth the United States government
cannot place upon the patrons OF that
road the burdens Of its mistake"

wishes of their constituents. Governor
Leedy is requested to refuse to appoint
to any position any Populist member
who contributed to the defeat Of rail
road legislation. The vote of Senator
Armstrong sin every instance where
such vote is in conflict with the letter
and spirit Of the Populist platform" is
condemned. The resignation Of L. D.
Lewelling as Railroad Commissioner is
requested, and his vote against maxi
mum rate bill and the charges Of bood-
ling against him are cited as reasons for
such request. A resolution severely con-
demning the appointment Of Senators
and Representatives to positions during
their term of Office was adopted.
