WE are glad to note that the condi-
tion of Mr.. Clark Wildman, of Ped
lars run, which was last week regard
ed as hopeless is somewhat improved.
There is now some prospect of his re-
covery. Last week he became so low
s. that all hope was abandoned. He is
yet very sick man but he has a
chance for recovery.
THE many friends of Captain Gar
risonNwill be glad to learn that he is
resting easier than he was last week.
At that time he was very i'll indeed
and grave fears were entertained as to
his recovery. While not yet out of
danger he has materially improved
since last week. Sheriff Garrison and
his wife were out to see him Sunday.
SOME of the State papers are telling
that Gov Atkinson has procured 500
stand of arms and half million
rounds of cartridges to use in case the
strikers become turbulent. We think
that such publications are extremely
indiscreet and it is far from being
good Judgment to publish such things.
Even if it be true the state of mind of
the miners will not be allayed by such
thing being thrown in their faces.
They have been quiet and they likely
mi in pniat If thau u no mr. unah
ed to injustice.
IT is never safe to ride a wheel
during storm. The safest plan is
to dismount, and, laying the machine
flat, to stand some distance off until
the lightning has ceased. Light
ming is more apt to strike cyclist
while on his wheel than man I'M
der tree. At best the rubber tires
only partly insulate the wheel. II
wet the water allows the electric
current to run over the tire. The
metal OF the frame and the handle
bar attract electric currents and the
whole wheel is, in short, good con
ductor.
A VERY large crowd will likely go
from here to Clarksburg next Sunday.
Sam Jones, who is probably the most

TenNthousand people are expected tC

from here toy Clarksburg and return
The round trip including admission tt
the grounds is very low, being only
$1.30 from Morgantown. The rate
will prove special inducement. The
train runs through from Uniontowr
leaving here at 1926 A. NJ. The train
leaves Fairmont at 8. as reaching there
at IL o'clock. Returning the traiI
leaves Clarksburg at P. NJ.
QuITE large party of towns people
made an excursion to Cooper's
Rock last Friday They were JOINED

guest of the Misses Hackney. Th'

GOVERNOR ATKINSON has done an
other surprising thing He has ap
pointed Wheeling woman a notary
public in and for Ohio county. TIL
appointee is Miss b. L. Bonny, ant
her bond was filed on the 18th, ant
she has since been doing business
just as though her acts had fore
and weight. AS matter of fact
Miss Bonny is not eligible to the of
flee under the Constitution of TIN
State of West Virginia. Art. A, Sec
4, Of the Constitution provides tina
no one but voter shall be eligibl,
to any State, county or municipal
office. And it is yet to be Learned
that females are voters in this State
A little matter like the Constitution
however, apparently cuts no fgur
at Charleston.
The little son of Clark Lcmlcy, 0
Usage, had narrow escape from
what might have been serious in
jury last Friday afternoon. He il
company with a Ramsey boy abou
the same age, both being mere chill
dren were driving two horse wagol
down to Randall, when at the top O
the steep hill just beyond that plac
the horses ran away. The runawa,
was caused by bees singing tn
horses. They dashed down the hill
in gallop and the boys were pow
erless to stop them. When abou
half way down the wagon was upset
The bed was thrown off and tn
tongue was turned Around till
pointed back up hill. The childre
were thrown out but strange to sa
neither were injured beyond recei,
Ing few bruises. The horses wer
not stopped until they had run t
the upper end Of Randall. They wer
not hurt nor was anything broke
