The oil village of Waverly, w. Va,
has the most unique lookup in the
country. short term in it sobers the
worst drunk. 1t is ten foot oil tank,
with neither door nor lock. The priso-
ner is chucked in and given roll. In
most cases the prisoner disappears
after undergoing the punishment and
troubles the town no more. The last
prisoner was Dump" Sherman, a shan
tyboat man who is well known in this
county He got drunk and spread ter
ror until the oil men seized him and
put him in the lookup. While some
rolled the tank about others beat it
with clubs. Sherman was kept in two
hours, then released, badly bruised, but
perfectly sober. He at once left the
town. Woodsfeld Spirit.

a Little Visit to the Place by Leader
Through the kindness of Mr.. Chas
Strecker we were shown through their
new and enlarged quarters Yesterday
morning.
Knowing the way in which this en-.
terprising firm does things we were not
surprised to notice the application OF a
broad-guage plan in their equipment
for manufacturing.
The basement as of old, extends uh-
der the entire double block, and il is
stored with hides in various stages of
preparation for shipment. This part
of the stock is not especially attrac-
tive, but it is rich in the dollars it rep
resents in purchase and handling.
The first floor is given up TO the Of
fee and store rooms, where all the
whatno,s that go to make up the bust
uess are kept. The second floor is a
storage room for blankets and horse.
wear. and there are extensive count
ers for their display. In the east room
second floor, are horse collars of all
styles and sizes adapted alike to the
plodding cart horse or the most fasti-
dious bang tail roadster.
The third floor consists Of two long
rooms, the east one of which will be
their proposed saddle factory; and the
west one is general store room for
harness.
The fourth floor, into which they
moved Tuesday of this week, is some
thing of a revelation of what light and
air will do for factory room. Here
are the engine and machinery. and the
men busily engaged at their work.
The place is equipped in every particu-
lar in such a complete manner as will
conduce to the comfort of the men and
the expeditions production of the goods.
The building is certainly good one,
and its arrangements show the eXer-
! else of good Judgment.

When the executive department OF
tho government consents to an arrange
menr by which this fundamental object
of the law /. absolutely and forever de-
feated and the great line Is to be divid-
ed up among waring and conflicting in
teresrs, il is time for an earnest and
emphatic protest on the part Of congress.
and when further it is found that the
executive not only permits, but actually
participates and aids in the execution Of
this destruction. as shown by the cor
respondence as given by the letters from
the attorney general in response to the
senate resolution OF January % and
March 26, 1897, and hereto attached, and
actually proposes to consent to a sur
render OF the sinking fund and the for

IF the government has knowledge OF
this plan of reorganization, it has not
been communicated to congress and the
