THE
Weekly <
Register.
More Complete, More Successful
Than during any period of
its History.

The best Weekly paper published
west of the Allegheny Mountains. 1t
is truly o home weekly. fit for every
member of the household. and contain
ing information of value to young and
old. Other city papers adopted the
semi.weekly plan aud abandoned it. be-
cause the two papers did not make one
good weekly. The people soon found
this ont and returned to their first
choice. and that choice is the Weekly
Register,
The Weekly Register has no equal in
two Virginias, ana no superior among
the metropolitan weekly publications.
It contains 12 pages of select literary
matter, stories by the most eminent
fiction writers, the latest talegraphic
matter, carefully prepared editorials
and by far the most complete West Vir-
gilman and Ohio newsservlce.
During the coming year the Register
will be of particular value to the farm
er. tradesnlan and merchant Congress
will likely be III extraordinary session,
as well as the regular session, and the
regular proceedings as we'll as other
WashinRton news, will be fully chron-
icled in the Register.
Tie West Virginia Legislature will
be in session, aud the Register will give
the most complete reports.
The price will remain the same as
90 per year in advance.
Agents wanted III every community.

TRAMPvlLLE, THE REsTFUL.
once IA Deserted village. Now Peo'

once "A Deserted village. Now PeO-
pied by Men Who Don't Pay Rent.
Trampville. Wis. cannot be found il
the postal guide, nor is it shown or
any railroad map, but it exists, never
tholess, with an average population oi
not less than 200 souls.
Trampville is situated in Douglass
county, on clearing cut out of dense
pine forest where the river Brule gives
up it's ripping waters into Lake SUI
perior. 1t is called Trampville because
it is the home of tramps exclusively
and has been for nearly three years
Previous to that time its name was
known as Clevedon, but that name is
seldom heard now.
Clevedon was founded about Is years
ago, by a syndicate of English capitalists
whose scheme was TO build up lake
port town to rival Duluth and Superior
Neat little cottages, handsome store
buildings, boarding houses, and a hote
and a woodworking mill equipped with
expensive machinery for the manufac
ture of hardwood products were con
structed in q remarkably short time.
The town was built, however, before q
tide of migration had been turned TO-
ward it, and it seemed difficult to in
duce people with more or less capita
to believe that in Clevedon they woui-
find their fortunes. Nevertheless, 500
or !. 600 persons settled there. But these
persons discovered after a few months
that the bubble was no more; that the
great resources of the town had faile,
of development They left the place
and Clevedon, the magic city, dropped
into the lethargy Of deserted village
The tramp discovered Trampvill'
about three years ago. He took pos
session of it in the name of his tribe
and the revival Of the village from tina
time on has been healthy, though per
haps not very clean.
They lived there 300 strong last win
ter and no cases of starvation hav
been reported. They say they lived upoi
fish taken out of Lake Superior and dee
that abound in the region. Others sa.
they robbed the henhouses Of the farm
ers thereabout.
The big frame building once used as
hotel now is the principal roostinl
place of the inhabitants of the town
Its lobby, a great old-fashioned fire
place, serves the purposes of kitchen
smoking-rooms and every night durinI

from the chimney, while dozens O

The RETIRED BURGLAR.
Meets Gentle Hearted Woman
Hacked by Ferocious Dog.

Meets n Gentle Hearted Woman
backed by a FerOcious Dog.
"At the foot of the stairs in the front
hall of farmhouse one night - said the
retired burglar, 81 stumbled over some
thing soft, that turned out to be a
feather bed. If ] had had grain of
sense at all should have suspicioned
something from that, but 1 didn't. 1t
looked as though it had been just tum-
bled downstairs and left there to be
carried of in the morning. and l let
it go at that and stepped into it and
over it to the first step of the stairs and
on up.
stepping up on the fourth step l
kicked against a string stretched across
the stairs and broke it. That made me
suspicious, but 1 never connected the
feather bed at the foot of the stairs
with il. l looked up. I expected it to
be connected with something there.
And it was; and it was coming down
the stairs at me and filing up the whole
stairway. 1t was a big feather bed.
Even then l didn't see that the one
coming down had anything to do with
the one down on the floor, and at the
same time l couldn't understand why
anybody should roll anything like a
feather bed down on anybody; bulky,
to be sure, but so light that it was an
easy thing to stop.
81 put up my hands to stop this one.
but 1 might just as we'll have tried to
stop a mountain. 1t was soft and
squashy on the outside, but it weighed a
ton 1t Just bowled me right over back
ward. and l fell on the other feather
bed at the foot of the stairs. Then
began 10 understand what that one was
for. 1t was to save the bones of the
man that was tumbled over by the av-
alanche bed
81 lay there nearly smothered by the
bed on top, and working out from under
it gradually.
81 hope you are not hurt l heard
somebody say from over the railing
along the hall upstairs, and said; No
ma'am,' because it was a female voice
and l am always polite TO the ladies'
but would you mind telling me whats
inside the one that came down|
- oh, she said, ITS the summer
range, with the fatirons inside. Car
you lift it off? Or shall 1 let the dog
come down and help you|
"And with that I heard a dog scratch
ing upstairs. supposed it started hin
up 10 hear himself spoken of, and
judged from the sound of his claws OF
the carpet that he must have been abou
the size of a tiger and of about the same
kind of disposition.
Ono I says, I can get clear of it,
and did, and stood up in the hall.
"'You won't carry off the other one
will youT she said.
"And, hearing the dog still scratching
upstairs. said: No, I wouldn't and
didn't. The lady appeared to be gentle
hearted enough, but I knew yo'
couldn't trust the dog."-N. Y. Sun.
