Frank e. Kimmins, aged &c, son of
6 w. Kimmins. a prosperous farmer OF
Dallas, Marshall county, is mysterious
~ missing, and relatives fear that ne
has met with foul play.
Kimmins left his home, which is
about sixteen miles east Of Wheeling,
last Thursday. He came TO Wheeling
with the intention Of looking about for
a house. intending TO locate perma-
nently in this city. lie was recently
married in Wheeling, TO young lacy
living near his home. After coming
to Wheeling, Kimmons went TO
Moundsville over the electric car line
and returned late in the afternoon. lie
registered at the Farmers Home, on
Market Square.
Between eight and nine o'clock that
evening. Kimmins left his hotel and no
trace of his subsequent Whereabouts
can be found. So far as any informa-
ton concerning him which has reached
the ears Of his relatives is concerned,
he disappeared after leaving the hotel
as completely as if the earth had swal-
lowed him.
Relatives of the missing man were
alarmed at his prolonged absence, and
within few days began making in
quiries and then diligent search for
him. His father has been especially
active in the matter. He has visited
this city and every town along the
river for a distance of fifty miles. The
-, bn hut n
no avail. Relatives fear that he has
been foully dealt with, as they assert
positively that there was no domestic
or business trouble or any other prob
able motive which might prompt him
10 leave the community. Nor do
they know of any personal enemy
which he may have had. He never
drank to excess. and was entirely sober
when last seen. Relatives who are
making the search are compelled to
grope in the dark, as it were. They
think it possible that he may have
strayed away while temporarily de-
mented, but there was nothing in his
conduct to indicate such a condition Of
mind
The missing man was feet 10 inches
in height, and weighed 100 pounds. His
complexion is fair brown eyes, dark
hair. and sandy mustache. He was a
farmer, but for year past has been en-
gagged in leasing oil territory When
he left home he had about $50 on his
person and a good gold watch and was
dressed in a black suit.
Kimmins' father was in the city yes
terday, and when seen by Register
man stated that his son had been trout
bled with sleeplessness for several
nights before he came to Wheeling.

That noble band of brothers, the
West Virginia Editorial Association,
will hold its next annual convention
at Weston on the 9Th of May. The or
ganization is growing and prospecting
and is of very great value to the State,
and Of importance to its welfare. The
oftener the States purveyors of news
and molders of public thought get to-
gether and talk it over, the better
for our advancement and material i'm
provement. This is aside from the en-
iovable and beneficial social side Of the
event

ground will be charged IL cent per
pound, and chemical wood pulp Is
cent per pound. This will be about
double the rates now charged
Just what the Laurier tariff will do
in retaliation has not yet been an
nounced, but there is a loud demand
for the imposition of an export duty
of s. a ton on Canadian logs and pulp
wood. 1t is pointed out that nothing
can be lest TO Canada by this, as the
United states will have done its worst
10 the Canadian lumber interests when
the Dingley bill becomes a law and
threatened retaliation upon Canada
through added duties will have no ter
rors.
Last year the imports of Canadian
lumber into the United States at custom
house valuation amounted to SS,5Ol.-
IS4S. This. it is conceded across the
lakes. will be greatly diminished if not
practically reduced to nothingness by
the s. tax. The Importation of logs
and round timber from Canada in the
same time was S2,563,644. An export
tax of 81 per 1900 feet will it is claim
ed. keep most. if not all, of this Can
adam product at home. The value Of
Canadian wood pulp imported was
Su7116.
The Toronto Mail admits that the
closing of the United States market
will. for a time, injure Canada, but
takes comfort in the conviction that the
inconvenience and loss thus caused
can be but temporary and that the
United States will in the end be the
greatest sufferer. not only in the
higher cost of the home made lum-
Der. but also from the Canadian COM
petition it will meet with in foreign
markets. Much of the Canadian lum-
Der that crosses the line, it says, is
merely en- route to some other country,
where sale has been found for it by its
American purchaser. In few years
much of the standing pine land of the
United States will be as bare as that
which has been stripped by the mills
of northern Michigan, mills which are
now enabled TO remain in the manufac
turing business only by the grace Of
Canada. from whose forests on the
north shore of Lake Huron they tow
their supplies of logs. 1t may be but
a short time before the lumbermen of
Georgian bay will be able to send their
output by canal TO the Ottawa and
thus. like the lumbermen on that river
be placed in a position to ship to Eng
land and other Atlantic markets with
profit"
The export duty on pulp wood, it's
asserted. would benefit Canada more
quickly than a similar duty on sawlogs,
because the United States will be out
of pulp wood before it will be out Of
sawlogs. The American pulp mills
took 100000 worth of Canadian spruce
last year. and it is claimed that with
an export duty of 50 per LOCO feet on
the raw material the pulp mills will
have to move over to Canada. There
is strong pressure for the export duty
on pulp wood from the Canadian town
of Sault Ste Marie, where a pulp
making plant was erected at a cost Of
50 100000. As the Diugley duties would
effectually shut its product out of the
United States. the mill has shut down,
but will start up again if an export
duty is imposed on wood for the COM
peting American mills.

10 nLrFF rHE IMPoRTERs.

The childish blur game of the Re-
publican leaders. who are at their wits
ends to stem the tide of imports now
coming in under the low tariff, con-
signed to importers who will make a
big profit on these goods under the
high prices thar Will prevail under the
Diugley bill. is ir1bably the best, alb
surd as it is. they could put up.
The foolish threat of enforced col
lection of duties from April l. or long
drawn out litigation, will brighten no
importer in his sober senses. In the
first place. the Senate will never agree
TO any such bit of illegal child's play,
and in the second. I; would not take
longer than jiffy for any court to
decide the ulegality Of retroactive legis-
lation. II this bill, which is not
likely to become a law until some time
i'm tie summer. could collect duties
under its schedules back to April 1,
there is no reason why it could not
collect them back as far as April l,
1870.
In this connection. also it is well to
bear in min that April is All Fools
Day.

committee OH Streets Recommends
That One Be Opened.

The committee ON streets, of the
board of aldermen, recommended the
passage of the preliminary order for
the opening of roadway on the upper
levee between Jackson and Eagle
streets. Assistant City Attorney Phil
lips reported that from the plat sub
mitted by the city engineer the city
had rights and a road ON the levee
between the points
W. P. Murray, representing the peo-
pie who wanted a levee. said the rail-
road companies had the right from
the city to lay two tracks, but had put
down five or six. All the people he rep
resented wanted was a twenty foot
read. The Omaha road was the only
one that had any rights legally, and
the passage Of the preliminary order
would bring the matter to an issue. If
after the rights Of the city had been
determined it was deemed advisa bic
that no road should be opened. well
and good.
The ordinance prohibiting bicycle
riding on streets in the Eighth ward
was laid over, the understanding be-
ing that a general ordinance relating
to all parts of the city would be drawn
up and presented at an early date

He thinks that Mr.. Mahler's business
record, and the fact that he would be
able to devote as much time as Is
necessary to the position. recommend
him more strongly than the support
which some of the other candidates
have procured. If Mr.. Mailer will
accept the place, it is his.
For the other vacancy the mayor
likes N. p. Langford or Bernard Zim-
norman. The former is a careful,
conservative man, the mayor. thinks,
and he believes Mr.. Langford would
make an excellent inspector. Mr.. Zim-
norman, as WE'LL has business capa-
bility and lots Of backing, for which
reason he may be selected. The mayor
would like to appoint an alumnus OF
the high school, as asked for, but
thinks this is a time when older and
more conservative men should be In
office. A little later, the mayor hopes
to have chance to name Edward
Vanish.
On the board of public works it is
still John Copeland and Since it
was found necessary to throw Mabon
down it has been anybody's race, but
the indications continue favorable for
the plum to fall into the hands Of
Leopold Beetsch, of the Eighth ward.
The Republican members of the coun-
ell will caucus Monday afternoon. AS
stated in the G l Q b e yesterday. Presi-
dent Markham, of the board of alder
men, will receive the nomination for
city attorney, and Aid. Bigelow for
presiding officer of the board Of alder
men. The steering committee doing
work for Mr.. Markham stated yester-
day that two more votes had been Sc
cured for their man which would give
him Is sure votes in the caucus.
Among other matters to be considered
at the caucus will be the ordinance
passed by the assembly and now in the
hands Of the board of aldermen proVid-
ing for the appointment of an assistant
electrical inspector. The ordinance
places Chief Jackson of the fire depart
ment, as inspector but provides that
the board of fire commissioners shall
elect an assistant inspector and fix his
compensation. Just why this matter
should be held up until after the caucus,
is not explained, but it is evidently to
be used as a club to secure needed
votes for some one.
