The bill introduced yesterday by Mr..
Garvin to form the new county OF Au-
gusta. will probably be a popular meas
ure and become a law. 1t is strongly
demanded by the people living in the
territory out of which the new county
is to be formed. They complain that
they have to travel too long a distance
to get to the county seats in their re-
respective counties. If this county is
formed. Warrington now in Marion
county. will be the county seat.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, January l9.-Ihe
members OF the present Legislature
have broken all former records in the
number OF bills introduced on the nrst
day after the organization of the two
Houses. Thirty bills in the Senate ana
eighty-one bills in the House, with a
large number of resolutions, was the
record of the first days work in the
respective Houses, when that order Of
business was reached.

The Legislature will doubtless pass
the bill introduced by Senator Patton,
and patronized by Mrs. Joseph Ruffner,
providing for the establishment of a
home for incurables. Mrs. Rufner has
worked so faithfully and so long for an
asylum for persons suffering with in
durable diseases that it would be the
proper thing TO pass the bill if only to
reward Mrs. Ruffner for her perseyer-
ence.

1t is evident that the Legislature is
dead set against any agitation of the
Virginia debt question. The members
of the House fell over each other yes

move a suspension of the rules to

Famous Spring, at Deer Park.

A million and a half gallons of the
purest water on earth, is the daily out
put of the famous Boiling Springs in
Garrett County, Maryland. In order
that nothing can contaminate the
Springs one hundred acres of land
surrounding it, are fenced in. In
addition, a wire building covers the
Springs, so that leaves cannot fall in
to the water. 1t is from these extra
ordinary springs that Deer Park
Hotel receives its water supply, the
water being piped direct to the hotel.
The medical fraternity now cOncede
that in the matter of health, the ques-
ton of pure water stands at the head
and front. No summer resort com
bines so many healthful features.
The air Is wonderfully pure and invig-
Grating; cool nights, with absolutely
no mosquitoes; the finest cuisine, with
perfect sanitary arrangements, makes
Deer Park Hotel the ideal resort.

Sanford Collins, of Brandonville,
Preston county, W. Va, just over the
line from this county, declared his
intention on Saturday of shooting his
wife. That evening he proceeded to
put his awful threat into execution,
and would have accomplished his
fiendish purpose had it not been for
his-wife's shrewdness.
Collins and Albert Reymonds, his
friend, spent the day together drink
ing at a distillery. On the way home
he made the threat, and said his wife
had been untrue to him. Reymonds
accompanied him home, fearing trou-
BILE at the house. Collins quameled
with his wife, and when his friend
demonstrated with him he shot at
Reymonds several times. One bullet
entered his left breast, making a
dangerous, and perhaps, fatal wound.
He was also wounded III the arm. The
husband then turned upon his wife
and emptied his pistol Only one bull
let took effect, wounding her in the
back. She fell to the floor and feigned
death.
Reymonds crawled away and hid.
Collins went to a neighbours house
and told them what he had done, and
then fled to the woods. He has not
been captured, and a large reward is
offered for his arrest. He is danger
GUS man, and has been in several
shooting scrapes. The officers there
have appealed to the sheriff to
assist in taking him, and say he is a
man who would shoot before being
taken alive.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

The day so long awaited
Has brightly Gawned at last,
For statesmen, tired of talking,
The tariff bill have passed.
No time Mckinley wasted,
For with his ready per
He signed it, and the people
Sent up Il glad "Amen!"
The waiting was vcNauOuS,
All freely will admit,
For senators kept Cabling
As though they'd never quit.
At last they reached the limit,
For some ran short Of breath,
And others stopped through fear that
They'd talk themselves to death.
Thus happily was ended
The gabtest long and loud,
And to the peoples dictum
The weary takers boWd.
The nation now rejoices,
y jubilant hurrah,
And Uncle Sans displaying
His b:and-new tariflaw.
The senator so "clevcr"
No more the country shocks
By using his position
To boom big deals in stocks.
The congressman 90 fishing,
Tom Reed takes well-earned fit,
For on rash Jerry Simpson
lie need no longer sit.
Prosperity's returning
In chariot of gold.
And now we'll see smoke pouring
From furnaces long cold
With industry's revival
Long idle wheels will whiz,
SO let all get together
And settle down to biz.

Gen. HarriSon's BooIs-The story Why Mr..
BOX Released all Claims to Royalty.
The indianapolis JOUrH0I prints this
interesting story concerning express
ident Harrison's forthcoming book:
General Harrison has Just complet-
ed the revision of his articles which
have appeared in The L0dieS' Home
JOuJHGi, making extended notes and
additions to them. There is a little
story in connection with both artic-
les and publication. When the arrang-
ment for the articles was made with
General Harrison by Edward w. Box,
editor of the L0dieS' Home J0UyHaI.
the General was paid for them, with
the understanding that when thev
were put into book form the maya
zine was to share the royalties accru-
ing therefrom. Mr.. Box, however, of
his own accord, generously released
General Harrison from paying him
any royalty, for the reason, az he
states, that by the publication OF the
articles by General Harrison the sub
scriptiOn list of his magazine was en-
larged many thousands The profits
to The L0dieS' HOme J0urHW were
more than the publishers anticipated,
and i'll view of this Mr.. Box asks
nothing further. Mr. Harrison placed
