A BRILLIANT CAREER,

One of the most prominent fig
ures in the recent presidential
campaign was Mr.. H. 81. Kohl.
saat, of Chicago. He stands to,
day pre-eminent among the jour
nalists of the United States. He
is now only As years of age and
his career is typical of American
opportunities. A poor boy Of
humble origin be has risen to be
owner of the Chicago Times.
Herald and Evening Post.
In recent interview he said:
When I first earned money I
preceived that it did not matter
how much one earned it was
necessary to save something all
the time or one would never be
anything. When / earned 50 q
week a certain part was put
aside for future use."
To this fact Mr.. Kohlsaat at
tributes his successful career.
Every one should save as a
matter of principle. Commence
now, the first month Of the year,
and open an account at R. T.
Lowndes g. Cos Savings Bank.
There your savings will be in
terest bearing.
There are no fines or forfeit.

Austrian millionaires seem to be un-
duly sensitive to criticism. An unfor-
tunate capitalist in Vienna has commit
ted suicide. He left letter behind him
explaining that he could no longer en-
dure the attacks of the anti-Semitic
PARTY, and especially the unfounded al
legation that he had imported goods
into Vienna without paying the proper
octroi duties. 1t seems an excess of
scruple. Imagine an American million
nire cutting his throat because some
body said he had been trying to dodge
the payment of his taxes, says the New

An Unlucky Number.

In one Of It's recent jocular
moods, the Pittsburg Times in:
sdaiges ID This choice bit ot pleas
antry:
West Virginia is a romantic
State and is peopled with ro-
mantle citizens. They shoot one
another and grow hilarious in
their feuds, especially those that
tend to create remains out of OBJ
streperous Kentuckians. But
somehow the sportive West Vir-
ginian has no affinity for jails. 1t
is not often that he penetrates
the Objectionable place, hence the
escape of so large a number as
10 from the one Jail, at Hunting
ton, at one time, will come in the
nature of q surprise.
But it is more than likely the
escaping prisoners will be sorry
they left in such an unlucky mum
Der. Thirteen never BODIED any
good for anybody. Right at the
start the escape of 10 prisoners
is an unlucky thing for the
sheriff who had them in charge,
for it is probable that he was
permitted to charge the county
so much a head for the main
tenance of each prisoner, and with
their escape he finds SO much of
his revenue rudely cut off. Then
he loses the blankets the prison
ers tore up to make ropes to get
down the wall with, and he prob
ably loses his temper when un-
kind folks jest with him over the
loss of his guests.
The number proved unlucky to
the hardware man whose store
was touched for guns and revol-
vers. 1t may prove an unlucky
event for the possewhich goes OUT
to hunt for the fugitives, who
certainly took the guns for some
thing else than just because they
we're in reach. And what is the
toughest of all, it is said that a
couple Of dozen other prisoners
were about to escape when the
plot was detected. That was un-
lucky for them.
There is a good deal of active
life in West Virginia yet, and
that which scorns to stay locked
up in jail is not-the least active
of it, either.

The panic of 1857 was followed by a
religious revival that swept over the en-
tire country. The panic of 1873 was
followed by another remarkable reyiv-
al. Moody and Sankey's big meetings
in the big cities were held ut that time.
The success that has attended Moody
and Sankey's recent meetings in New

another widespread revival is to follow

The county court of Marion
county met at Fairmont Tuesday
afternoon and passed a resolution
ordering the immediate destruc-
ton of the court house with a
view to building new one. This
was at about four o'clock. and at
five fifty men were at work. at
eleven that night thirty men
were at work and the building
was down by morning.
The members of the court say.
their only object was to prevent,
injunction proceedings and liriga-
ton.
Fairmont was bound to have
a new court house, and would not
allow anything to stand in the
way. The old building was not
in good condition, butt was very
recently that members of the
county conrt decided it was SO
dangerous that it had to be pulled
down between two days.
The work of pulling down the
walls proceeded merrily, and by
morning it was too late to insti-
tute injunction proceedings to
save the old house. When the
news of thecourt's action reached
Warrington the people there ar
ranged for a special train to carry
an injunction from Judge Charl-
ton, of the intermediate court, in
effort to stop the work, but it was
now too late.
Its stated that the action Of
the county courtwasunanimously
taken.
A dispatch tothe Register gives
Mannington's account of the
affair: The county court at Fair
mont to-day took snap Judgment
on 9 good FtiOr # tlie coniitsl
outside Of Fairmont, and ordered
the court house torn down forth
with. Insecurity was the reason
assigned, but the real effort Of
the court is to prevent the forma-
ton of a new comfy outofa part
uf Marion.
For some time the matter of
organizing. new county out of
Marion, Harrison, Monongalia
and Wetzel has been discussed
quietly, and a blllto be presented
to the legislature has been pre-
pared, and will be offered this
week.
The new county would be Re
publican and Warrington would
be the comfy seat.
When the Marion county court
learned of this, it was decided
forthwith to demollsh the house,
contract for new one, and thus
place the debt upon the county
as now constituted before action
looking to the new county could
be taken.
