asking for information :,s to the adding
of water to the whiskcy poured into
tho dispcnsary tank prior to bottliny.
and we direct the attention of our
readers to it. We disclaim any intcn
tlOn or desire to accuse any one, either
directly or by insinuation, of wrong
doing, but inasmuch aS Mr.. Vance
admits that corn and rye whiskey are
reduced in the State dispcnsary by tho
addition of water, and We know of no
law authorizing this practice nor i,cdg-
ing it about so as to make it pcrma-
nent, uniform and subject to public
inspection, we would point out the fact
that it affords an opportunity of un,im-
tied stealing. There is, in all ,,roba-
bility, more S0-proof whiskcy sod than
any other grade, and to every 100 bar
rels there ere added twenty barrels of
water, which, OH basis Of 40 gallons

for this surplus amount of whiskcy

DUNG man, QOn s1Oa1, you
cant afford it. The man who plows
all day is the man who owns the
land, the business man who hustles
is the man who has the trade, the
worker who is careful and prudent
in his calling is always ahead. Don't
idle away your time.
A GREAT many people from this
county will spend the 4th in Fair
mont. Many more would go if a
special train to leave here in the

want the folks up there to have a
great celebration and will help as far
as possible.
THE wheat harvest is in full blast.
The wheat is dead ripe and the
farmers are trying to get it cut. The
hot weather has ripened it very fast
and is very hard on the men who
are in the fields No prostrations
from the heat have been reported
but those who are out in the sun are
having a hot time of it. The wheat
this year is of excellent quality and
there is large acreage in the coun-
ty. The harvest is earlier than usual
and the greater part will be over
by the Fourth.
The new war revenue taxes went
into effect to day and nearly every
thing that is done will subject the
doer to a tax of various size. All
checks, etc, must be stamped. The
law is quite complicated and there are
many inquiries as to its exact provis-
ions. Those who are anxious to
learn can find the provisions in
almost any newspaper of yesterday.
The stamps which are to be used
are the same shape as the Columbian
stamps but are smaller They are
different in color for the different de-
nominations and are very pretty.
WILLIAM WALLS, who was pardon
ed from the penitentiary Monday, was
here yesterday. He was captured
here after having gotten on horse
which he found hitched along the
road in Monongalia county. He was
tried in the circuit court down there
and given two years in the peniten-
tiary. He has served one year, and
it is probable that he should never
have served that, except that the jury
found him guilty and the court had
no alternative. Bill was wonderfully
and awfully drunk He was falling
around every which way. There was
the horse. He managed to climb on.
He got to Fairmont and he never
could tell how. The horse was hitch
ed on one of the side streets. He
didn't try to get away. He kept
boosy until some officers captured him
and hailed it as catch of great
horse thief. And poor Bill went to
the pen. 1t was all right, and may
be temperance lesson, but Bill never
was endowed with sufficient intellect
to make the industry of horse steal
ing a fattering success. -Expositor.

A SAD accident occurred near Rices
Landing by which a boy named
Brooks, II years old, instantly lost
his life. He and little sister were
some distance from their home, when
a thunder storm approached from the
west, and they started for the house.
They were seen by two men running
along the road about 10 feet apart,
when suddenly a flash of lightning
came and the boy was seen to fall.
The men ran to him and found life
was extinct. The electric current
had struck him on the top of the head
and passed down over his body, tear
ing off his clothing. His hat, which
was of straw, was no where to be
found, and is supposed to have been
completely burned up. The little
sister though within few feet of her
brother when he was killed, was I'M

mean that the government has set up a
standard of riches. love of pomp, or even
responsibility, according to religious per-
suasion. They mean that the principal
expense is for church services. AS
matter of fact, there were but 10 first
class funerals in Paris last year, and the
deceasedawere in IA cases Roman Catho-
LES, PROTESTANT in one, and non-beIlever
in one. From the prices named for the
first class the rates, go gradually down to
the ninth, the lowest class in which it Is
possible to be buried. In that class
common deal coffin,a hearse to carry it to
the cemetery, and a divine to say theslast
word at the grave, cost So. so for a Catho-
lie and $4.50 for a Protestant.s In all
graduated in the same manner rs the
funeral charges, being IS in the Iii So class
and 81 90 in the ninth.
The funeral charge and the city tax
must always be paid. whether the body is
to be put into the ground or burned; SO
the only saving effected by cremgation is
in the cost of last resting place. In the
cemeteries of Paris plot of ground three
feet wide by six long costs from 81 40 to
$500. For each additional square foot,
length or width, the price is about $50. A
grave may be rented, however. for five
or for 80 years, at reduced rate. plus a
yearly city Etax. Cremation, on the other
hand, is furnished by the city in eight
classes, the price ranging from $50 down
to $40. This charge includes the right to
q niche in the columbarium for the space
of five years, at the end of which time
the contents of the urn are emptied into
a common grave. A concession for the
use of the niche in perpetuity may be pur-
chased from the city for SIS. The fashion
of taking the ashes in the urn to ones
home is growing. There is, as yet, no
law against it; but it is likely that there
will be one, or municipalities on shome-
kept ashes, as soon as the practice be-
comes common.
Contrary to the popular idea Of crema-
ton, a body is not burned by flames, but
by hot air The great crematory at Pere
la Chaise. which is without doubt the
most complete in the world, consists OF
two floors. 1t is built on the side of a
gentle decivity. SO that each floor has q
direct entrance from without. The second
floor consists of vast vault in which the
funeral services are conducted, and the
burning chamber. In the vault there are
seats arranged as in q church. In the
center aisle Is railway, upon which
runs o car, or catafalque; the railway
ends at the doors of the burning cham
ber During the services the coffin rests
upon this car, by means of which 1t il
finally run to the end of the aisle. Their
the big doors of the hot air furnace art
opened and the coffin slid within.
