West alright, But He is Coming Back
Home.

The Hon. W. G. Brown, OF King
wood, late Democratic candidate for
Congress in the second district, is now
in the West and writes glowing
praise from Whatcomb Washington,
of that country:
OF all countries | have ever seen,
this truly Is land of milk aud honey.
The soil is fertile and the fields are
covered with blue grass, with clover,
(Which they tell me continues to grow
all winter which must be true, as
they cut no hay and make no prepa-
rations for providing wintering for
them. Apples, pears and peaches
grow in profusion and can be had for
the asking. Everybody here, how
ever is running wild after gold now,
and the ordinary methods of making
money are too slow for them. Hun
dreds have gone to Klondike and
more are getting ready TO go in the
spring. The recently discovered gold
fields Of this country may deter some
OF them. This find is unquestionably
rich, but to what extent has not been
ascertained. Groups of prospectors
are coming and going daily and they
all tell encouraging tales.
Mr.. Brown will be home in a few
days.

ROM, November 4.-Our school has
opened with F. o. Shafer in charge.
Mrs. G. w. Kephart who has been
confined to her bed for sometime with
rheumatism is We are glad to note slow
ly recovering.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. O. Shafer were visit
ing friends at Morgantown Sunday.
Mrs. Jacob and Peter Rohr and Mrs
J. L. Moore were visiting at Rev. Me-
Millan's Sunday.
Messrs. J. f. Gale, Elliott Jenkins
and Rev. J. /. Moore are busily eneag-
ed quarrying and hauling limestone
from near the Beaver Hole TO their
farms near Bohr.
George c. Moore, gold bug of this
place contemplates going to the Klon-
dyke in the near future. May he return
to Rohr with barzal OF the yellow met
al is the wish OF his many friends.
DIR w. j. Sargent while making an
excavation for cellar last Saturday had
very exciting experience. He was
digging by the side OF a large rock when
he suddenly struck an opening in the
earth and there came forth kissing and
rafting sound moment later a large
rattiesnake made its appearance and
the Doctor quickly dispatched it with
his clay pick, by that time nine more
had made their-appearance five rattlers
and four copperheads. On seeing so
many OF the venomous reptiles it made
the Doctor little shaky, and he
called for his son to assist him in the
battle. The boy responded to the call
and they were both kept busy a half
hour or more killing the snakes as they
came to the surface. When the battle
ceased, the snakes were counted, and
the number killed was l5l, divided as
follows: 80 copperheads, 81 rattlers and
10 blacksnakes. The largest killed was
a RATHER, 0 feet 1 inches long.

30 By.
Prof L. G. a tkeson. Dean of the
College of Agriculture Of the West
Virginia University, having resign
ed his position as a member of
the Board Of Regents of the Uniger
sity, to take effect this day, the Gov
ernor has appointed as his successor
the Hon. 7. G. Eastman, of Mason
City, to fill the vacancy on the
board Mr.. Eastman is college
graduate and is one of the most
prominent and successful farmers of
the State. All of the State farmers
organizations passed resolution re-
questing the Governor to appoint a
farmer on the Board, because Prof.
Atkesou was the only representative
of that interest on the Board of Re
gents of the University. The Gov
ernor felt that this great interest
should be recognized in the leading
educational institution of the State,
for the reason that the great bulk of
the students must necessarily come
from the farms of the State. Three
gentlemen residing at Huntington
all of whom are educated gentlemen
and well qualified for the place, were
urged for the vacancy. All of them
however, are lawyers, and as the le-
gal profession was already largely
represented ON the Board of Regents,
the Governor deemed it proper to Sc
lect man from some other walk in
life than that of the legal profession.
There can be no question as to the
fitness of Mr. Eastman. In addition
to the fact that he is an educated
gentleman, he has long been promi-
nent in the politics of our state, hay
ing twice been very formidable
candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination and once president of the
State Senate. 1t is believed that
Mr. Eastham's selection cannot be
otherwise than satisfactory to the
people of the State.

SENSATIONAL MURDER.
In the Little Buffalo Oil Fields, Wet
eel County-Louis Jones, Well
Known Oil Driller shot Dead.

SIsTERsvILLE, W. Va, Nov. "A
very sensational murder occurred on
Little Buffalo creek. north of Elk
Fork. in Wetzel county, last even
ing.
From the report received here it
seems that number of drillers in
the oil field in that section went out
to have time, and in their rounds
of pleasure stopped at a certain house.
While there quarrel arose, and the
landlady being in bad humor, i'm
mediately started trouble by getting
revolver and commencing to shoot.
She fred two shots, the first one
taking effect in the wall and the sec
ond hitting Louis Jones, well
known OIL driller, in the mouth, and
almost blowing his head off.
There is great excitement at the
scene of the murder, and if the
woman who committed it is found by
the frenzied mob of the oil people,
who are looking for her, she will be
lynched.
The sheriff Of Wetzel county is on
the scene and is making every effort
to keep the peace. The woman took
to the woods after she had fired the
shots.
