the witness gave of the feebleness of Mr..

larded with brief statements of important bust
ness transactions of Richardson concerning a
railroad deal. Once, the witness said. Richard
sou escaped from his nurses and went carriage
riding in slippers and n skull cap and was found
witness that he feared poison. Mrs. Richardson
on one occasion wanted the witness to get her

The price Of a watch doesn't mean as
much as the quality.
1t is cheaper to pay a fair price for a
good watch han an alleged bargain
price for a bad one. There isn't a good
watch made that isn't duplicated in ap-
pearance by a bad watch. Watch ex-
perts can tell about u watch by looking
AT 1t. Other people better take a re-
liable jewellers word. There are some
watches so cheap that we won't handle
them-they are also so cheap they won't
keep time. And they are real nice
watches to look at-till the paint
wears of.

The action of the last legislature oil
West Virginia in passing compulsory
school law, is much like the COW that
gave a big bucket of milk and then
kicked it over. It would be all right II
it specified how many days the pupil
must attend during the term. But the
law as passed is much worse than no
compulsory school law at all. The law
says: "An offense as understood in this
act, shall consist in failure to send any
child or children for five consecutive
days, except in oaselofssickness of such
child or children or other reasonable ex-
cuse. If q pupil attends but fractional
part of day during the entire week be

CONCERNING TEXT BOOKS.
How School Books are to be Selected
in West Virginia.


many persons are anxious to learn
something about the new method Of
selecting school books for use In the
free schools OF our state. The old
method OF having the legislature Sc
lect the school books was attended
with SO many Objectionable features
tnat There arose a general sentiment
mat the selection OF school books
should be taken out of the hands of
the legislature. The puzzling ques-
lion was; Where to place the power?
which was finally decided by putting
II nearest the people, namely, delegat-
ing the power TO a school book board
Ia each county OF the state This Is
the method tnat seems to be generally
acceptable In many states that have
experlmented In different ways. The
new west Virginia law provides for a
school book board composed OF the
county superintendent and eight other
reputable taxpayers of the county.
AT least four OF the eightshall be free
holders and not school teachers, and
at least three must be actively engaged
In teaching, and shall hold number
one certificate or its equivalent. Not
more than i've shall belong to the
same political party. They are to be
appointed by the county court for a
term OF four years, such appointment
to be made on or before the 18th day
OF next June. Members are to receive
two dollars per day, but shall not re-
ceiye more than four dollars in any one
year, such amount to be paid out Of
the county treasury. 1t will be the
duty OF the board to correspond with
the publishers, inviting submission of
samples and prices of text books. On
or before the first Monday In August
the board will be required to meet, or
ganize and proceed to select and adopt
text books not already provided for
on such subjects as are required to be

Good Thing, If they can only Get IL.
| The republican party is high tariff
party, ordinarily. but 1t is more par
ticularly party of protection TO the
trusts. When that protection is best
secured by means Of high tariff on
certain articles the tariff is put on,
but in some cases the trusts can best
be accommodated by placing certain
other articles on the free list. Take
hides, for instance. Hides are pro-
duced in the southern and western
States. Those states did not vote the
republican ticket at the last election,
therefore the farmers and cattle rails
ers OF the south and west are to have
no protection on their hides, but the
hides Of the Mexican and South Amer
lean are to be brought in free, In or
der that the Leather trust can buy
them cheap.
How about the leather? That is a
different matter, very different The
Leather trust was no small factor In
the last campaign. No one knows
how much that monopoly contributed
to Mark Hanna's slush fund, but we
all know what influences were exer-
cised by it, even in this section. Well,
the trust must be paid for their cam
paign work, SO the tariff on leather is
to be increased while hides are to be

A Pleasant Rumor.

The Wheeling News is RESPONSE
BILE for the following bit of gossip,
which our readers will take for what
it is WORTH
"Since the Hon. George w. At
kinson has been installed IN the gu
bernatorial chair OF the state of
West Virginia, rumor has been more
or less busy with his name in mat
rimonial way. The governors hand
some presence is considered suffi-
cient to attract most women, and the
other advantages of his position
necessarily make him very eligi-
BILE party. Rumor now has it that
charming and wealthy young wild
ow of Clarksburg is soon to become
mistress of the gubernatorial man
sion. Governor Atkinson and the
lady referred to met only a few
months ago, but their acquaintance,
it is said, quickly developed into a
warm regard"

THE Berkeley County Fruit Grow
ers' Association held a meeting last
week to take steps to check the
spread of the San Jose scale, (which
threatens to do considerable damage
to the fruit tres in that county. The
scale was discovered about a year
ago in the county on trees from
Northern nurseries, and has since
made its appearance in number OF
orchards in different parts of the
State. A committee of one from
each district was appointed to in
spect all the trees in the county, and
report to the next meeting. DR.. A.
d. Hopkins, entomologist Of the West
Virginia Experiment Station, was
present at the meeting and exhibit
ed specimens of the scale and other
fruit tree pests and suggested meth
DDS of determination. He said that
the scale was the most destructive
insect to fruit trees known; that it
attacked all varieties and spread
very rapidly one female scale being
sufficient to populate a small orch
ard in less than year, but that it
worked only in the valleys.
