Our Game Laws.

West Virginia has excellent game
laws, but they are shamefully dis
regarded. She has game wardens
whose duty it is to enforce the laws,
but, in some instances we are in
formed, they actually participate in
the alleged slaughter of the game.
We hesitate to believe this last
statement; but with the open viola
ton of the law in many of the
counties, where game wardens can
not avoid knowing of the fact, it is
not hard to believe that they them
selves participate in the crime
Public sentiment must be appeal
ed TO and aroused on this subject.
West Virginia cannot afford to al
low her forests to be swept of their
game birds and animals. The
slaughter of the innocents goes on
For shame.

the century is slipping away so fast!
1t is quite serious thing to realize

have all done our share toward

discuss with paper and printers

into doing it. But just recalling
how one slip OF girl was intent
upon bringing happiness TO others

A Boom ut st. Mays.
U. F. Randolph and J. T. Martin

U. F. Randolph and J. T. Martin
went to St. Marys this morning to
lease some territory and buy royal
ties if possible. Many other oil
producers and contractors took the
train for the same point.
TheSt. Marys territory has never
figured very prominently in the oil
development, but the two nice
wells struck by Myers & Under
wood and the Mallory Bros. have
given the territory an importance
that it never possessed Before. 1t
is a certainty now that this section
will have quite a boom in the face
of present developments.

ANENT THE NEW WALK
Which Is to be Built From Charles
street 10 the STATEN.

DR.. G. B. West went to Parkers
burg this morning in the official ca.
pacity of a city councilman to urge
upon the Ohio River R. R. the i'm.
mediate construction of the board
walk alongside the railway track
from Charles street to- the station.
The company verbally agreed to
build this walk when the removal
OF the buildings was made, and as
this part of the agreement has not
been fulfilled for some time, there
is no reason why the walk should
not materialize. 1t is certainly
needed for the safety and conven.
fence of pedestrians, and in send
ing DR.. West 10 agitate the matter,
the council selected the right per-
son from it's number. He will bring
about the much Eeeded improve
ment if any one can.

Hobby of n Scotch Printer.

Some men have queer hobbies, and a
remarkable one is that Of Glasgow
man who has spent the leisure of four
years in rewriting the Scriptures. He
is a compositor, with wonderful gift
of turning out beautiful writing, and in
the time mentioned he has managed to
reach the middle Of the Psalms. In
two years he anticipates that the con-
Guiding verses will have been written.
A feature of this remarkable Bible will
be its illustrations. Each chapter has
it's artistically designed initial letter,
and each book pictorial heading illus
trative of the context. The writer is
native of Dumfries, and in his boyhood
days ran errands for Carlyle, to whom
he carried the local morning paper.

"A HUGE BALL OF FIRE
Passed Over the City Early this
Morning.
SEEN BY VERY FEW.
There was Similar Occurrence
A Month Ago.

IF. Frame, our station agent,
and T. ]. Moran witnessed the
passing of large meteorolite
through the heavens in north
westerly direction at about seven
o'clock this morning. The early
hour prevented a more general OBJ
servation.
This igneous meator, or aurealite,
presented itself to the naked eye in
the shape of a cone about two feet
long and six inches in diameter at
the large end. 1t appeared in the
eastern horizon and made half
circle in the heavens within an IN
credibly short time. 1t appeared
TO drop to the earth perpendicularly.
People of a skeptical nature will
be prone to ridicule the evidence of
this phenomenon and will decribe
it as an imaginary product. But
in this instance the aerial flight is
proven by two of our most re-
putable citizens who adhere strictly
to the truth in all things.
The one peculiar fact In refer
ence to these fire balls is
that in many cases they are appar-
emily local and are not seen over
any considerable area of land. The
place where the molten mass
strikes the earth is generally never
discovered, either.
We have not heard of any one
else who saw this meteor, but there
are probably many who did. About
a month ago similar phenomenon
was seen by Captain John Reedy
in about the same part of the heav-
ems, and in this case the captain
was nearly alone in the discovery,
and had to face storm of doubts.

Two Pointed auestlons Answered.

What is the use of making bet.
ter article than your competitor if
you cannot get better price for il!
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will only buy
the better, so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single scale
they will be much greater in the ag-
gregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make IS the best!
II both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgment on
them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always
be depended upon. They may oc-
casionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with ex-
aggerated claims, but are certain to
return to the one remedy that they
know 10 be reliable. and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing
equal to Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. For sale by c. w. Grier.

A VALUABLE DOG


this Morning.
The valuable Scotch coolie dog
belonging to Charles Russell, clerk
at the Arlington, met with hor-
rible death this morning while at
tempting to scale the iron picket
fence which encloses Miss Frances
Russells residence on Elizabeth
street. The dogs feet slipped on
the ice and snow about the fence
and he landed full force on the
pickets, which pierced to the vitalS.
1t took the combined efforts of three
men to remove the dying dog from
the fence.
This dog was probably the most
valuable one in the city, and his
owner only recently refused an Of
fer of 5000 tor him. His intelli
gence was as near human as the
brute creation can reach, and he
will be greatly missed by manv
lovers of the canine family, who
had became greatly attached to
him.

Do Not Bite Thread.

If you are in the habit of doing much
sewing do not bite off the thread; use a
pair of scissors. Apart from the fact
that biting the cotton is injurious, the
trick often results also in a very sore
mouth. When silk thread is bitten the
danger is greater, for it is usual to
soak the thread in acetate of lead, so
the result may be yer! serious, and
even lead to blood poisoning.

Accuracy of Range Finder.

So accurate is the range finder used
on American ships that in a recent test
with two shots the projectiles fell
within 80 yards of each other at a dis
lance oG12 miles. Both would have hit

aided eye could reach.
