HEAVY LAND TRANSACTIONS.
In Which the Land Cannot be
Found.

WEIGH. w. VA. October s-(speclal.)
Inside the last two months deeds have
been admitted to record in this (Mc-
DowelD county supporting to convey seye-
raj hundred thousand acres OF coal land
In the county for considerations aggre-
eating several hundred thousand dollars.
The deeds are believed to be purely frau
dulent. There are now over two millions
Of acres on the county LANDLORDS. when
1t is a fact that the county. all told.
only contains about six hundred thousand
acres. The scheme OF fraud Is simple
enough, and has been worked success
fully for some time on unsuspecting peo-
pie. The schemers prepare a deed for a
large tract OF coal land in this county,
have II acknowledged before some ficti-
tious notary public In a far away State.
then send 1t here to be recorded, and re-
quest the Clerk OF tho County Court 10
forward them certified copies OF IL. This
places them In position to dispose of the
pretended titles for a good price. II is
no an unusual occurrence Cor a stranger
to turn up here with deed, which Is all
straight on the record. but the land for
which II calls cannot be found.

Calderhend Talks Calamity.

Congressman Calderhead of the Fifth
district said when he first went to
Washington two years ago: 1.-THE peo-
pie of Kansas are for the single gold
standard. / went before the people OF
my district on that issue and was
elected"
His defeat for election last fall seems
to have opened his eyes as the follow
ing will show:
Washington, Feb. l3.-At the last
meeting of the house banking and cur
rency committee. Mr. Calderhead
of Kansas, pronounced gold
standard republican, spoke against
bill to incorporate the lnterna-
tional American bank with Cornelius
Bliss, Andrew Carnegie, H. D. Armour
and ten other millionaires as incorpor-
ators, eight branch banks to be estab-
tablished in other countries
Among other things Mr.. Calderhead
said: 1.-THE whole United States is in
u condition of unrest. The under half
of the country believes that il is in
jured largely by the power of aggre-
gated wealth. They actually believe
it. They believe it to such an extent
that large areas of the country need
nothing but leader of ability to give
us an instruction. That is the truth,
and that is the political storm that
will follow any attempt, direct or in
direct, to incorporate the men named
here into private bank, with CAPT
tai of millians of dollars and the plea
that it is done for the benefit of inter-
national commerce will not answer
that mob-for it is a mob-which only
needs commanding general to lead
it. If the leader should happen to
have the military instinct it would
mean civil war"
The speech was taken as a warning
to the East and was marveled at the
more because of the speakers politics.
there was n sensation in the commit
tee room.
OF course Calderhead is Of the opin-
ion that the ''mob' does not know how
to secure a change in the laws only by
insurrection. But the fact that the
'mob" quietly proceeded to leave him
at home should teach him that the peo-
pie of this country know how to adj
just things without resOrting to war.
