PIT Pleasant, w. Va, June pa
small tornado visited the city last
night, accompanied by a violent storm
Of thunder and lightning. The force
of the wind was such that the two
story brick residence of A. F. Kirar
was entirely denuded of its iron roof,
while in several places massive
branches Of arees were torn
away and other trees wrenched out by
their roots. The end of the wharfboat
on the Ohio, was bodily removed ana
splintered into kindling wood upon the
bank of the river, while in other direc-
tons windows were smashed and con-
siderable damage of a minor character
caused. During the time the storm
ragged the rain fell in torrents.

Romney, June Il, 1897.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: 4 false statement is being cir
culated in the State papers which
desire TO correct. 1t is stated that the
Board Of Regents of these schools, at
their recent meeting, adjourned until
the 14th Of July. in order to have time
to investigate charges against the Prin-
cipal. made by a blind man named
Pinkus. from Wheeling. II is true that
Pinkus. who was once a pupil of this
school. did make so-called charges,
against the Principal, but so fimsy,
false and absurd were these accusa-
tons that they were disposed of in a
very short time, and so little impress
sion did they make that the Board did
not deem it necessary 10 examine the
witnesses that the Principal had on
hand TO expose the character and ami
mus Of this man. He was afterward or
dered off the premises by the Principal.
But this transaction with Pinkus COM
pelled the Principal to lay bare before
the Board certain grave irregularities
of long standing, and an unwholesome
state Of affairs among some of the Off
GERS and teachers. 1t was these charges
brought by the Principal which the
Board desired to have time to investi-
gate. and it was under these circum-
stances that the Principal offered his
resignation. c. H. HILL,
Principal.

ON the Tobacco and Wool Sched-
Mes of the Tariff Bill-A Sharp
Clash Expected on the Internal
Revenue Feature, Eut the Re-
oublioans Will Probably Retreat
from Their Position - Nothing
Doing in the House.
Washington. June 2O.-The Republi-
can Senators in charge Of the tarirf bill
BEGIN 20 feel that the end is almost
in sight. They do not hope TO con
clude the consideration of the oil by
the close Of the present week, but they
expect by that time to be able to say
when they can complete the work.
As a matter Of fact, the difficulty Of
adjusting differences in their own par
" is causing the managers more per-
nIexitv at present than is the open
opposition to the bill in the Senate. 1t
has been found almost impossible to
harmonic the contending forces among
Republicans on the
TOBACCO AND WOOL
schedules. The differences on tobacco
have been compromised, though not 10
tho satisfaction of all concerned. and
if there should be another caucus be-
fore the tobacco schedule is taken up
IN the Senate The question is liable to
be reopened there.
The wool schedule viii confront the
Senate at the opening Of the session
Monday. and it is Senator Aliens pur-
pose to press the schedule forward to
4 close. Hence it will be impossible to
postpone for a very much longer time
the settlement of the differences n this
question. It is expected that if the
committee should not be able to an
nounce a determination by some time
Monday the matter viii be referred 10
AN EARLY CAUCUS.
or a ca Gus may be called if the COM
mittee fixes rate that is not saJsfac-
tory to the wool men. There is little
doubt that an advance will be con-
,eded by the committee, but the ques-
ton Of interest is whether the increase
will be all that the wool men demand.
The wool question will. Of course.
give rise to an animated debate, but the
Democratic Senators say there is no
disposition on their part to needlessly
prolong it. There are also numerous
articles on the free list and in the
"sundry" schedule which viii arouse
differences Of opinion, and if the Re
publican do not withdraw the internal
revenue features of the bill there will
BE A SHARP CLASH
over this. They are practically decid
ed. however. to retreat from these pro-
visions. It is also practically deter
mined that the House provision in re
gard 10 Hawaiian sugar will be contin-
ued. pending the disposition Of the
Hawaiian annexation question.
For the rest, the question Of reci-
procity and the problem presented by
the trusts in connection with the tariff
are still undetermined by the Repub-
licans themselves, but there is no
doubt that there will be more or less
general debate upon any propositions
agreed to when presented in the Senate.
IN THE HOUSE.
The programme in the House will
be the same as during the past week.
There will be two sessions, one on
Monday and another on Thursday. 1t
is probable that the committee on rules
will bring in a special order on Monday
for the consideration Of the bill appro-
priating money to repair the dry docks
at the Brooklyn navy yards, and the
bill will no doubt be passed.

l first conceived the idea of locating
the post just outside the roadway, in
the grass, using the double swinging
iron arm, with its snafffe, to hold the
horse off from the grass. This works
well with most horses, but some will
throw the arm completely up over the
top of the post. and so get on to the
grass with all four feet. This is OBJ
waited by using the chain, as shown in
the cut. This permits the arm to rise
just far enough to reach the bride of
the horse, with play enough so that he
can move his head freely, but does not
permit him to throw it over upon the
other side of the post
This device of using an arm to keep
the horse away from the post accom-
plishes more than the preservation of
the grassy sod. 1t keeps the horse from
gnawing and disfiguring the post, and
from rubbing his bride and other parts
OF his harness against it-often to the
serious injury of the harness.-Country
