MARTINS FERRY.

"Shaddy" Mcknight, who was ar
rested Wednesday morning at this
place by Marshal Burns and Officer
Ferrang on the charge of being i'm
plicated in the murder of Charles E.
Cover, near Bridgewater, Pa, as
stated in yesterdays Register, was re-
leased from custody yesterday after
noon by Marshal Burns, as the parties
from New Castle failed to identify
him. Officer VIM. Winters, of New
Brighton, Pa, accompanied by John
Schaeffer and Charles Hopwood, of
New Castle, arrived in town yesterday
forenoon and were escorted to the jail,
where, after questioning Mcknight as
to his whereabouts on the night of
the murder and carefully viewing him
from several positions, decided that
he was not the man, consequently Mar
shall Burns released him yesterday af-
ternOon. Schaeffer and HopWOod
were robbed by the same parties that
killed Cover in the car, and they both
are of the opinion that Mcknight is
a much smaller man than the one who
committed the crime.
Officer Ferrang arrested Edward
Feneska, a we'll known young fellow
of this place, yesterday morning in
Huskins' confectionery, and later was
taken to Benwood by the marshal Of
that town, where he is wanted on the
charge Of stealing the modest sum of
$28 from his roommate, w. F. Flynn,
telegraph operator at the office of the
Ohio River road at that place. Ed
ward "swiped" the money at about Z
o'clock and two hours and a half later
he was arrested at this place and by
II o'clock he was again in Benwood,
without money, behind iron bars and
the charge of robbery opposite his
name on the police docket. Possibly
had Officer Ferrang let Ed. alone for
three-quarters of an hour he would
have been enjoying the remains of his
hard-earned cash in the beautiful city
of Cleveland, where pleasure-seekers
can enjoy themselves, according to the
dodgers advertising railroad excur-
siOns; at least that is where he claim
ed to be going.

The past week freight business on
the B. & O. west bound has been so

Complaints Of Thefts Of Coal From the
B. & 0. Railway
Near BenwOod junction - Parlor
Cars Taken Off-Fisll Killed by
the Observation-Disclosures, Briefs,
and General Notes of Informa-
ton Concerning the Roads Enter
ing Wheeling.

Next month there will likely be a
great many people who live in the
vicinity Of Benwood Junction before
the grand jury at Moundsville, charg-
ed with stealing coal. For some time
past the B. & O.. has had vast amount
OF the fuel stolen from the cars in the
yard at the above place, and during
the past week or so the names of a
large number of people have been Sc
cured who are the ringleaders in these
depredations. The company are tired
of the business, and in a years time
is carried away by people who make
trips in the night to unload the cars.
Some people even take the coal in
broad daylight, and when ordered to
get off the cars pay no attention to
the officials. A large number of wo-
men are also engaged in this bust
ness, and it is the intention of the
company to give them a dose of the
law as well as the men. The officials
of the road are now getting all the
evidence they can against the guilty
parties, and if the arrests are made,
as is intended, there will be plenty of
excitement at the next term of the
Marshall County Court.

eighteen men will go to work putting

that Barnum & Bailey have already
pretty thoroughly advertised their

tent to simply get together and offer
to the public the very best circus that
has ever existed, but after he has
secured the whole earth in search of
novelties and got together enough of
them to make a wondrous worlds fair
he proclaims the fact so startlingly
and persistently that he who runs
must read of it, and he who is blind
and cannot see must hear. He spends
one-ffth of his total expenses for adj
vertising. The newspaper is relied on
chiefly, and in it he lays the founda-
ton for all his efforts at publicity;
but there is no form of public an
nouncement that is left untried.

1t is called, at Glover's Gap. This
lake was filed with a large number
of fine fish, the property of Charles
Wells, but on account of so much

gave out. Now the B. & O. have about
four feet of the filth to take out be-

lent for the locomotives on the Fourth
division, which always filed their

run between Wheeling and Cumber-

money as was expected of them, but
still they were big thing for Wheel

at an expense to themselves, but the
B. & o. is always ready to accommo-

SLATE BILL VETOED.

Gov. Stephens, of Missouri, Kills the Meas
ure to Change the Assessment and Taxa
tiOn Laws.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 3d.
Gov. Stephens vetoed the state assess
ment and taxation bill yesterday, as
he announced a week ago that he in
tended to do. After calling attention
to the fact that an irregularity in con-
nection with the emergency clause
would cloud the validity of the meas
ure, even if he should approve it, Mr..
Stephens denounces the bill as follows:
Its main features are inquisitorial and un-
American. Under existing assessment
laws an affidavit is already required from the
owner of notes. bonds and mortgages covering
the extent of his holdings and their present
value The statute provides remedy against
the afiiant for perjury when a false statement
is rendered the assessor. In addition to this
the county boards of equalization have author
ity to increase the assessment where It has
been made too low and to impose penalty in
addition.
Successful and enterprising business men
usually very anxious to keep their credit
affairs private, and their success in a great
measure depends upon not taking the general
public and business rivals into their confidence.
And, besides. there is q universal desire among
men for privacy in their affairs, and especially
OF their credit matters, if possible. Now, then.
II all notes, bills OF exchange and evidence OF
debt are accurately described and placed upon
public record, business men will find nearly
the whole OF their commercial Indebtedness
made public, especially local Indebtedness, for
the scrutiny and criticism OF business rivals
and enemies
Instead of increasing the revenue of the state,
the probabilities are largely in favor of the fact
that valuations OF personal property would
rapidly decline under the operations OF this
bill owing to various methods which will be re-
sorted to to prevent the exposure of private
business. Property and money will be sent out
of the state. soon to be followed by the owners
thereof. and all men with capital who are seek
ing investments and. perhaps. this state as
location, will look aslIance at us, and move
around us when they lind that we have been
indulging in such legislation.

New Jersey Senator Wants Export
Premiums on Grain and Cotton.
Congressman Curtis Gays the Removal of
Pension Agency Would BE Expensive
-CuIIOm Wants a Peace Monument
Demand for Post Offices.

WASHINGTON, March 30. - Senator
Pettigrew's declared purpose to propose
an antitrust amendment to the tariff
bill, coming in such close conjunction
with the supreme courts decision in
the Transmissouri freight pool case, is
giving much anxiety to protectionist
senators who respect aggregated
capital. Now Senator Smith, of
New Jersey, democrat, declares
that he will offer an amend
ment to the tariff bin to provide for
the payment of bounty on wheat and
cotton, two of the principal articles of
export. lie says that neither wheat
nor cotton are imported into this coun-
try in quantities to interfere in any
degree with American wheat and
cotton growers and that there
fore the domestic producers of these
articles cannot be protected by import
duties as can manufacturers. He in
sists that there is no essential differ
ence between protective duty and
bounty. and that as wheat and cotton
cannot be protected by duty, it is but
fair to help them by a bounty.
Curtis Says 1t Would BE Expensive.
WASHINGTON. March 29.-Congress-
man Curtis. of Kansas. has sent to Sec
retary Bliss a vigorous protest against
the proposed removal of the Topeka
pension agency to St Louis. He de-
clares that it cannot be possible that

but on the contrary that it will cost at
least SIT, 7,O3O extra for rewriting the
roll books as the result of the CONSOLE
dation, and then Sl5O,O0O more will be
needed to compare the new rolls with
those in the interior department. He
declares also that there would be
heavy expenses from the renting of
new rooms and in conclusion figures
out that the carrying out of consolida-
ton would cost the government at
least 1921 200.

Cullom has prepared bill to appropri-
ate $50, 900 for the purchase of site

TARIFF NOT THE ISSUE.

POpuIist Members of the House Issue an
Address which Advocates Free Silver.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-A joint
caucus of the populist members of the
senate and house was held last night
to discuss the course of that party
toward the tariff bill. AS a result an
address was issued which says that the
tariff has been the battlcdoor and shut
tlecoclS of politics for more than 100
years, and its final settlement is more
distant than when the controversy be-
gan. The country, it states, has always
experienced hard times when there
was contraction of the money vol
ume. no matter whether the tariff was
high or low. 1t says that the most di-
rect and effective method to supply
the deficiency would be to restore sill
yer and increase the circulating medi-
um SO as to restore the level of prices
which existed prior to the dcmonetiza-
tiOn of that metal.
