Fairmont Index
We have in this county most
excellent gentleman. who is well
known and stands high not only
in his own neighborhood, but
throughout the county. He has
a son of whom he is justly proud.
This boy, like most. other boys,
claim the right to pay attentions
to the young ladies who suit his
fancy. without seeking paternal
permission. Lately he seemed
to be fond of a young lady in the
neighborhood, who did not strike
the fancy of the father. This in.
censed the old gentleman, who
positively forbid the youth. un.
der the penalty of paternal dis
pleasure. perhaps something
more severe, from paying further
attention to her. Things quiet
ed down, but the father had q
sneaking suspicion that the boy
was giving him the slip, and con-
cluded to watch for himself. The
other night be started out to see
what the young man did. He
took his station at a good point
of view. Very soon a couple
came along. The evening was
rather dark but he could recog-
nize his own son. and there was
no mistake about the young
lady. This was more than the
irate father could stand, and
when the couple came up he
stepped out and administered a
blow to the undutiful son, which
sent him upon his back in the
road, then he admonished the
fair damsel that she must not
again be seen with his son, by
gently kicking her all about the
premises. This performance was
kept up for some time, when, to
the horror of the infuriated old
gent, he discovered that the
couple he was chastising were
strangers, entirely unknown to
him. Explanations followed and
we hope the matter was dropped.
This story was told US by a
prominent gentleman of our city

he gives them cordial welcome,

and listening with the utmost

The other morning a crowd of
these mountaineers were assem-.
bled in the reception hall, when
a strolling band stopped in front
of the house. The music wasn't
the finest in the world, but it was
the best the mountaineers had
ever heard. They pricked up
their ears and drank in the vag-
rant strains. AT last one of them

OUR Ell DORADO.
N. Y. Mail and Express.I

N. 7. Mail and Express.
When the United States Gov
eminent bought the extreme
northwest corner of the contin-
ent of North America from
Russia, the cry was raised that
this was the price of that coun-
try's friendship to the cause of
the Union. and that We had
squandered our money on ice.
bergs and arctic rocks. But ever
since the value of that acquisi-
ton has been so steadily raising
in the real estate market of the
world that Great Britain is try
ing to edge over it's boundaries.
1t now appears that Ell Dorado,
the tabled land of gold so long
sought beneath the suns of the
South and beyond tropical jung
les, lies In the frozen auriferous
gravel of the Yukon and the
Klondlke, where men mine
through frostwith fire ratherthan
with dynamite.
1t might be thought that there
is the usual exaggeration about
these stories of glittering for
tunes PANIED out of the gravel
that comes down the Pacific coast
from Alaska. But there are
enough established facts to war
rant enthusiasm and induce a
rush of invading seekers for
treasure in the face of peril and
hardship. The arrival at San
Francisco yesterday of miners
with glittering heaps of gold dust
affords evidence that cannot be
denied. Probably the discoveries
of gold in Alaska. will hasten a
settlement of the boundary be-
tween our possession and British
Columbia, and they may make
that settlement more difficult be-
tween British greed and our de-
Termination to hold on to that
which We bought and paid for.
Alaska has proved a great
bargain. There is now offered
to us, without money and with
out price, a group of islands in
the Pacific. We are not asked
to buy pig in q poke. There
is no unknown wilderness in the
Hawaiian group. Every foot of
its territory, except the molten
lava of Mauna Loa, has been
trodden by the foot of man. The
quality and the possible quantity
of its agricultural products are
ascertained. Its value as a naval
outpost and its influence in de-
termining the future course of
our commerce in the Pacific are
admitted. To make these GER
tainties ours, it only remains for
the Senate to ratify the treaty
annexing the islands so coveted
by Japan. The Alaskan discov-
cries ought to quicken the pro-
cess of Hawaiian annexation.

ces is justifiable.
The preliminary hearing in.
the murder trial of Harris. who
shot down Merritt. his wife's
lover. was acquitted in a most
sensational decision. After re-
citing the facts, Judge Falconer
closed by saying
when the shadow Of inideli-
ty to marriage VOWS comes be-
tween the parent and child it
casts over both gloom darker
than the grave. How can a
father name a lost mother to his
child, and how can a daughter
hear that muther's name without
a blush ? Death is merciful to
the pitiless cruelty of him who
has stained the fair brow of in
nocent childhood by corrupting
the heart of the mother, whose
example must stain the daughters
life, and make the son ashamed
to utter the word mother.

husband and father of disgraced
and dishonored children to des-.

this, or does the human mind in

ton, when brought home to one
OF us, lose its power to distin-
guish between right from wrong
Can this knowledge control the

NO Law IN THE CASE.
THE declared law eff this State
contains nothing upon this ques-
ton. and this court leans to the
view that this absence arises
from the fact that past lawnak-
ers have realized that human laws
may not regulate human nature,
they can not control natures
whirlwinds, and that the action
of the man who avenges the des-
truction of his blasted married
life and his dishonored children
by striking down the destroyer
after all must be determined at
the bar Of human nature and that
human nature will. excuse the
one who so avenges.
WHERE MURDER IS JUSTICE.
.The killing of man by man is
| always terrible, no matter for
what reason, but there comes a
time when killing of man by man
is only justice. The case at bar
