PATRIOTIC WOMEN
Raise Their Voice in Behalf Of the
Prosecuted Daughters Of Suf-
fefing Cuba.

At n meeting OF the lady teachers
OF Preston county, West Virginia,
in the Court House, August goth,
1897, the following resolutions we're
unanimously adopted:
l.. ReS0lved, That we have read
with horror of the trial, by mill
tary court, in Havana, Cuba, of
Evangeliua Cisneros, a young, &C
complshed, educated, and beauti-
ful, patriot daughter OF that once
beautiful, but now suffering, war
wasted and tyranny cursed island.
But the awful sentence about TO DC
passed upon her--twenty years inn
prisonment IN Ceuta, Cha 90. tai a
Spanish penal colony on the coast
OF Africa, amongst the lowest, yilest,
most degraded criminals on tho face
OF Ged's earth, is SO sorrowful, so
revolving, so awful, as to shock
every sentiment of civilization, and
every emotion of humanity and
sympathy.
2. Reso!red, That we unite our
voices and our prayers with the
noble women of our own free land
in behalf of this poor helpless girl.
3. Resolved, That if the Spanish
throne refuses to hear the women
OF America, and the father of her
own great Catholic Church, in be-
half Of this innocent girl, that then
we call upon the powers that for
the time being rule IN our own
land-the land Of the free and the
home of the braVe-to teach the
Spanish government, and her
butchers in Cuba-that this is the
twilight OF the nineteenth century
and not the darkness Of medieval
barbarism; and that Uncle Sans
iron clads are more powerful even
than the voices and prayers OF his
daughters.

The Best Game OF Ball Ever Played
IN the County.

Last Friday afternoon the King
wood Base Ball Park had the larg-
est crowd and best game ever seen
there yet. 1t was one Of games in
the championship contest between
Kingwood and Rowlesburg, and
was won by the latter club by the
merest scratch, in spite OF the fact
that we played all cur own men,
whllo Rowlesburg had four out
siders, Parsons from Grafton, Sanks
from Maryland, and Arnold and
Burlcy from Sunbury, Pa. 1t was
as pretty a game as we ever wit
messed up 20 the las, inning, when
tho Kingwood pitcher, who had
been out drinking the night before
and was in TO condition TO play,
gave out and left the boz. allowing
Rowlesburg to score four runs, af.
ter shutting them out FOR seven
innings straight. la the first round
Dent was wild, as he always is, and
allowed them to score twice. After
that he settled down, and every
body did good work up till the last
round, when we had them by u
score of 4 to 2, and had Dent
pitched his usual game, VIC had it
won easily, but he only struck out
ten men, the fewest Of any game
he ever pitched for us. Even then
we had chance for the game in
our last inning, with man on
third base and Cobun at the bat,
when hit would have tied the
score and all the best batters fol-
lowing, Sapp, ShafTer, Hayes and
Dent, but Cobun couldn't connect
with the ball at all and struck out
three times. In fact, none of our
good batters could hit Bowman at
all, who is a splendid pitcher and
struck out thirteen of our men,
something that no one else ever did.
Here is the lineup and record Of
both clubs:

COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.
Gold Bugs Como to Grief in This
County.

Last night two United States
officers, one of them Barker, OF the
Secret Service, and II special deputy
arrived in town from down in
Grant district with Andrew Jackson
Glover in charge, arrested for con-
nection with the counterfeiting
business that has been going on
down in Grant. They wanted to
loSge the prisoner IN jail over night,
but Sheriff Shaffer refused to do it,
as he was not satisfied with their
papers, 80 they took him to the
Davis House and Barker locked the
prisoner and deputy up in n room,
with Andy hsnd-cufFsd to the
deputy,and this morning on to the
Clarksburg Jail aud lodged him
with Sanford Collins, who was ar
rested by Barker last week and ia
ken to Clarksburg Oh charge of
ceunterfeitlng.
Barker and special deputy
named Guseman were down in
Grant last week hunting up this
matter, and they arrested man
named Cleary and got him to turn
States evidence, by promising his
release. He told them where to
End the tools aud vino was impli-
Gated. They then arrested Collins
and Joe Sisler, and while Guseman
guarded them Barker went to hunt
the outfit, and found it in the rocks
about half way between Brandon
vile and the old AMMAN Tannery.
But while Barker was gene, Sisler
got away. They took Collins ON
to Clarksburg, where no will have
to remain in jail til U S. Court
next month, as he waived a prelim.
mary hearing. The officers let
Cleary go for the time beng, as
they are hunting up more evidence
and others that are supposed to be
implicated, Barker had the coun-
terfeiting outfit in his grip here at
the hotel last nj ht when We called
on him TO get Information. We are
not at liberty 20 make public any
farther particulars now, az it might
interfere with the plans Of The Sc
cret Service officers, but 40 prom

Everybody was glad to see Prof.
f. b. Trotter back and he looks
familiar. lie told of one Of his old
school experiences back in So when
he went to Kingwood in March, to
so to school and expected to grad

The secretaries were, prompt,
courteous and accommodating and
filled their places credItably. No

Profs. Z. @. McBee and j. Nc

the total attendance 23S. This was
larger than last year.
Every body wants to have Col.
Copeland back again in 1898. The
teachers Of Preston never tire of
Americas foremost lecturer. In
his speech, Tuesday evening on
"Handsome People" the way he
disposed of some Of the fads and
fashion of modern dressing would
drive Plute Indian crazy or send

can listen TO Col. Copeland and
not be 5cttered, they ought to be
examined for lunacy, or sent to

The Hon. O. p. Dorr, Republi-
can member Of Congress from the
Third District of this State, is hay
ing considerable trouble just now
over that sleeping car adventure
discredited to him some time since.
The matter was published far and
near at the time, but no names
given. Mr. DORIS friends are try
ing to explain the disgraceful cpl
code by claiming that it was an in
innate friend of his, riding on his
pass and passing bimself of as the
West Virginia Congressman, but
they take good care not TO give any
name, and the general public will
have ito opinion about the mlttcr.
Capt. Slmm Taylor, the conductor
on the train when the scene oc-
Cured, maintains that It was Dorr
himself, and that he knows him
very well, aud no one who knows
Capt. Taylor will doubt his word

Recruits come in slowly. Every ship
mate must constitute himself recruiting

word for the navy That the name

else to the apathy of those who served in
that branch of the service
