Splendid Record.

Full four years have passed
since the Ohio River Railroad
Company has had the misfortune
to even derail a passenger coach on
its line. Not only SO, but not a
single passenger has ever been
killed, and so far as our knowledge
extends, no one has been seriously
injured. This is certainly an UNI
paralleled record for safety. The
Company, however, seems not con
tent with affairs. but continues to
make additional improvements to
its road bed here and there, as it
deems necessary to the safety of
the road. 1t really SCOTS safer to
ride in an Ohio River coach than
to sleep in ones own bed chamber

Professor q. O Atkeson. dean of
the college of agriculture of the
West Virginia University, having
resigned his position as member
of the board of regents of the uni
versity, to take effect yesterday,
the Governor has appointed as his
successor, the Hon. p G. Eastman.
of Mason county, to fill the vacan-
cy on the board.
Mr.. Eastman is a college gradu-
ate, and is one of the most promi-
nent and successful farmers of the
State. An of the State farmers
organizations passed a resolution
requesting the Governor to APP
point farmer on the board, be-
cause Prof. Atkeson was the only
representative of that interest on
the board of regents of the uni
versity.
The Governor says he felt that
this great interest should be recog-
nized 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. Two
or three gentlemen residing at
Huntington, all of whom were ed
ucated gentlemen and we'll quail
fed for the place, were urged for
this vacancy. All of them, how
ever, are lawyers, and as the legal
profession was already largely rep
resented on the board of regents,
the Governor deemed it proper to
select a man from some other walk
in life than that of the legal pro-
fession.
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 prominent in the politics of our
State, having at one time been a.
very formidable candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination. 1t is
believed that Mr. Eastham's selec-
ton cannot be otherwise than sat
isfactory to the people of the State.
Mr.. Eastman is silver Democrat.
and is well known in Charleston
and throughout the State.-Charl-
eston Gazette.

WHEELING, w. VA, Nov. 2nd.-
There have been rumors afloat in
local railroad circles for SEINE time
that the Ohio River Road would
soon make an active bid for Gin
cinnati passenger business out of
Wheeling. The recent cheap ex-
eursions to the Queen City on this
road were at the time believed to be
an experiment along that line, and
if rumor is true the changes to be
made in the passenger time tables
of the Ohio River and Pan Handle
roads on November 18th, will de-
velop the fact that the Ohio River
Railway is to make its first real
move in the direction of through
Cincinnati business in connection
with the @. & o. road at Hunting
ton or Kenova.
It is said, on pretty good author
ity, too, that the new Ohio River
time table will inaugurate a train
from Cincinnati to Wheeling, leav-
ing the Ohio city at noon and ar
irving at Wheeling at IL p. m.
This will be given thorough test
and if a fair percentage of the Gin
cinnati and western business out
of Wheeling is secured. it is pre-
dioted the Ohio River will give
Wheeling even better Cincinnati
service next spring. The distance
to Cincinnati on the Ohio River
road is S75 miles, while the
Pennsylvania and B. & o. short
line distance is about 26O miles.
This is a disadvantage, but it is
said the trains out of Wheeling are
to be SO arranged that the longer
distance and time will not cut
muck of figure.

Don't Keen Ferrer.

We hear every day about persons
hunting rabbits with ferrets.
Stories of how parties have been
known to catch from twenty to
fifty rabbits in one day with ferrets
are currently reported. This is
done in a civilized community, in
the face of statute passed by the
last Legislature, which prohibits a
person from having ferret in his
possession, or to hunt rabbits with
one, and fixes the fine in each case
from SIS to $50. This law should
be enforced. Rabbits have become
scarce In all the older settled COM
munities, they do no damage and
are about the only game left, and
they should be protected from the
wholesale slaughter. It is the du-
ty of every good citizen to present
any person to the grand jury who
is known to keep a ferret to be
used in hunting. One or two ex-
amples will break up this practice.
Good laws will avail nothing un-
less they are enforced. Every true
sportsman should assist in crowd
ing out the ferrets.
