With smile that well her pain dis
sembles.
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and
trembles,
Tho heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall. never know her
story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field of glory!
The wife who girds her husband g
sword,
Mid little ones who weep or won

And bravely speaks the CHEEKY word,
What tho her heart be rent asun-

Doomed nightly in her dream to heal
The bolts of death around her rat
tie,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of bat
tie.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she
presses,
Then breathes few brave words and
brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses
With no one but her God
To know the pain that weighs upor
her,
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on Freedoms field of hon

The Costa Rican Counterfeiters.

For many months the Costa Rican
counterfeiters have been issuing bogus
notes of the government of the island
until the amount, it is said has reach
81, 900. 900. Inspectors Of the recret
service bureau were chiefly instrument
tai in bringing the malefactors to
justice. The efficiency of the secret
service is undoubted, but it is by no
means a secret, but patent fact,
that the service that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does the weak, ner-
vous and dyspeptic is of genuine val
ue. There have been from time to
to time counterfeits of it, as there are
of the genuine Costa Rican notes, but
the miniature note of hand on the
label and the vignette of St. George
and the Dragon, coupled with the
exquisitely finished typographical
work, are not successfully imitable.
Any one who has used the Bitters
knows its admirable qualities and
the features of the exterior of the
bottles. This agreeable tonic abso-
lutely prevents and remedies malaria,
rheumatism, liver complaint, kidney
trouble and dyspepsia.

MAJOR JOSEPH GOES.


Major G. NJ. Joseph has received
his orders to join the National
Guard and has started to Charles
ton Thursday noon. At the train
while he was being told good bye by
his many friends he was presented
with handsome boquet by little
Mary Keck who is one of his staunch
friends. The act was very grace
ful one and it touched the handsome
Major deeply.
He will proceed first to Charles
ton and then from there go to For
tress Monroe where he expects to
embark for Cuba in short time.
He has learned from unofficial
sources which are considered very
reliable that there will be an army
of forty Thousand men, ten thousand
being regulars and the rest militia
taken from there to Cuba in the near
future. He will be one of the sur
geons who are to go with them.
While he is away he has promised
to write to this paper about his ex-
periences ard we shall take great
pleasure in publishing the letters as
they ale received. We hope that he
may have all the benefits possible
out of such an experience as that on
which he is at present embarked.

AWFUL INJURIES.
The First Reports of the Hurts
Rec eived by Miss Mcclure
not much Exaggerated.

The First Kick Of the Horse Knocked
her Down and the Animal then began
to stamp and Kick Her-List OF In
juries received Mrs. Mcclure gets
Her out After Calling Joe Henderson
to help herr DIR. Gibbons Attends the
patfent-DetaiIs Of Accident.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Miss Artie Mcclure, an account of
whose injuries were given in this
paper yesterday, was very badly hurt.
yet it is too soon to- say just how badly
off she is. The dOetor cannot tell
from the present condition of the pa
tient what the outcome will be, but
he is certain that she is In precar-
ious condition.
She was cut about the head, her
collar bone was dislocated in a very
bad manner, her knee was greatly
damaged, one Of her breasts was terri
bly, injured, rib was torn. and she
received number of minor injuries.
The horse that did the mischief had
never been vicious before, and was
her driving horse. 1t is thought that
the reason that he acted as he did
was that he thought that she was
going to put something on his leg
which had been infamed and which
had been treated with some prepare
tion which had hurt him considerably.
The animal thought that she was
going to put some more medicine on
him and when she touched him he
kicked at her
The hoof struck her on the head and
she fell down almost senseless. This
frightened the animal and he began
to kick and stamp her. Luckily the
blows nearly all went over her and she
received not 1.-THE of those that
were aimed at her. Mrs. Mcclure
heard the noise of the kicking and
found the daughter in the dangerous
position that she was. The horse
prevented her getting the girl out,
and she ran to neighbours and called
him. He came as fast as he could
but by the time that he got to the
stable Mrs. Mcclure had succeeded in
getting Miss Artie out of further
danger. The man who came was Joe
Henderson and he helped to get the
girl to the house,
DR.. Page A. Gibbons was called
and he did all that he could to al
leviate her sufferings which of course
were very great. He has gone out
again to-day and has not yet come in
so that her condition to-day cannot
be learned. We hope that the injur-
les may not be so severe as the cir
cumstances would seem to indicate
and that she may soon recover from
her hurts.

THEY'RE OFF.
The National Guard officers
Leave for Fairmont and
Charleston.

The orders were a Surprise After the
Events which were learned Of yes
terday-Howeyer the boys were glad
to get them and left on time They
are very anxious f0get to the Front
The thirty Volunteers and the band
Is Left Behind They NAV get orders
to go soon and then again they may
not be taken at all--The Guard is
Mobilizing at Charleston.
The National Guard officers who
have been so anxious to get some
thing definite on the war situation
have received their orders and are
now on their way to the rendezvous.
The trouble which was threatened
in the guard has disappeared or been
avoided some way and the men are
off,
This morning on the noon train
six of the officers who have been
here as citizens or students left for
Fairmont. They will go from there
to Charleston where the entire guard
Of the state will be reorganized into
one regiment 1t will have officers
to burn and tie men will be lost
amid the vast expanse of gold lace.
The officers who left here are
Captain W. j. White, adjutant of
the First Regiment and Lieutenant
Gramm, Earl 81 NTH, Harry A Eaton,
and B. F. Laui ghlin, together with
Quartermaster sergeant William St.
Clair.
The thirty volunteers and the
military band W ere left behind. they
will be notified in few days as to
what will be done in their cases.
They may be taken and will be if
there is any place that they can pos
sibly be used. Some of the men
were very anxious to go and are very
much chagrined over the turn
things have taken. They besieged
the officers with questions and are
still in a great state of suspense.
The best thing that they can do is
to go about their business as If
there was nothing going on and then
if the call does not come they will
lose nothing.
A number of the men have done
nothing since they enlisted but get
ready to go and have been waiting
ever since for the word to move.
They will not all be taken into the
same company but are expected to
be taken when they may be needed.
All these matters are still in doubt
however and nothing will certainly
be known for some days yet judging
from the best information that can

STREET PAYING.
The Plan which has been adopt
ed by the Council.

Some oil tine Objections which have been
Raised to the plan by the opponents
to 1t who are very much stirred up
over the way II is to be done-Et is
Different from what the voters ex-
pected and leaves several important
things out In the cold as far as paw
ing is Concerned-Th plans will all
be done GU Monday week and the bids
will then be asked fora great deal
Of kicking is being done-How just II
is must be judged from the facts as
they exist.
From Thursdays Daily.
The council went over the ground
yesterday and decided on the streets
that are to be paved and the order
in which they will be taken up. The
engineers told them that the plans
and specifications for all the streets
will be done by Monday week and
the advertising for bids on the work
viii not be advertised until that
time.
The telegraph and telephone poles
over town are all to be placed in a
line so that they will take up the
least possible amount of space. AT
present there is very little uniformi-
ty and they take up great
deal of ground to no purpose. The
engineer will instruct fhe owners
where the poles must go and they
will have to be placed at his direc-
tion at once. All the unsightly
poles will have to be replaced with
good ones and the general height of
all of them will be increased con
siderably.
The different poles have to be
painted different colors. All the
Bell poles one color. These have
been attended to and are green. The
electric light poles will be an
other and the Peoples phone poles
will be still another. The poles will
then be rather pretty than other
wise and the nuisance of having
them on the streets will be minimiz-
ed.
The council has decided that Main
street is to be paved first. The paw
ing will begin on Front street at
Foundry, and run to Peasants when
it will be taken up Peasants to Main,
then from Peasants TO Walnut.
| Spruce street will then be attended to
and then the attention of the PAYERS
will be given to Wiley street from
the head of Main to the University.
This will complete the paving.
This, as will be seen, leaves no
pavement on Front street from Wal
nut to Wiley street, does not put
brick on walnut street and leaves
Spruce street cut off from the rest,
except by the alley at the Wallace
| House.
Those who oppose this way of doing
it are loud in their protestations, and
seemingly not without reason. If
one will look at it for himself he will
see that the way it is proposed to fix
the thing is far from perfect and
does not do what the council said was
to have been done when the election
was held. They should make some
provision for Walnut street, and they
should look after Front street. Spruce
cut off from the rest will not do the
town very much good If 1t is paved,
and If 1t is left in the shape that it is
proposed to leave it, it might as well
go unpaved These are the argu-
ments being used by the opponents to
the DlaD and they are very hot about
the matter.

THE NEW RECRUITS.
VIII Not be Recognized, But There
viii Re Room for 200 In the Regi-
ment to Be Mobilixed at Kanawha
Gitv


City.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 29.--
Governor Atkinson had conversa-
ton to-day over the long distance
telephone with Secretary Alger, Of
the War Department, In reference to
the mobilization of the West Virginia
troops, the result of which was that
the troops will be modified at Kan
awha City instead of at Martinsburg,
as first directed by the Secretary Of
War.
1t has been decided to consolidate
the two regiments, which jointly In.
clude one Thousand men, and to adj
NIT about 200 recruits to make up
the full regiment Of twelve hundred.
1t is understood that the new COM
panies formed within the last week
will not be organized, and the regi-
ment will not be filed out until the
troops arrive at the rendezvous at
Kanawha City.
The consolidation of the two regf-
ments will necessitate the reducing
OF the rank Of the present officers, and
1t is said that all of the officers OF the
National Guard agreed to this except
Colonel Banks, Of the Second regi-
ment.
General Spillman will be made col
onel of the regiment, and Col. G. L.
Smith will be lieutenant colonel. The
majors will be made captains and the
junior captains made lieutenants.
1t appears that the misunderstand-
ing between the Governor and Gener-
al Spillman and subordinates was
caused by the orders OF Adjutant APP
pleton, who, it is said gave orders to
General Spillman to recruit the regi-
ments without consulting the Gov
ernor. who is commander In chief.
1t has all been satisfactorily ex-
planned, however, and everything will
move along tremendously.

J. G. Knutti in the new Regiment.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, April 26.-The
National Guardsmen, at Fairmont,
expect to receive orders at any time
to report at Charleston, and it is un-
derstood that the two regiments will
be combined. with Col. c. L. Smith
in command. The order was expected
this evening, but up to this time it
has not been received. Major w.
R. Standiford and Capt J. G. Knutti
were rendered places in the consoli-
dated regiment to day, and both ac-
cepted. They get their rank from
the University, but will be reduced.
They are both teachers at the Nor
NAL school and will resign their po-
sitions. Capt Standiford, as he now
ranks, has orders to report with the
First regiment. The enlistments in
the Moundsville and other compa-
MES were revoked, in pursuance of
orders from brigade headquarters.

CALLED DOWN.
George Wesley, as Usual, Puts
His Foot Into 1t.

Ordered by the war department to do a
thing HE gets Funny and Concludes
to do something Else--He is Called
Down by the Secretary Of War and
told to do as he was Ordered to do in
the First Place..An Enormous Ex-
pense put on the state for Nothing.
He Wanted to show that he was Boss
and merely shows that he can make n
monkey Of Himself II Given Chance.
When the orders came from the war
to mobilize the state
troops at Martinsburg it did not suit
the governor who, together with lot
of officials at Charleston, wanted to
show off to the people down there,
and he changed the rendezvous to
Charleston. He has been called down
hard by the war department for get
ting gay.
A gentleman here has received
telegram from Senator Faulkner tel
ling him that the war department
has directed the governor to do as he
was told and to do it at once. Con-
sequently the men will have to be
taken to Martinsburg after all. The
state will have to pay for the COVER
nor's brilliancy as usual.

AT CHARLESTON.
The National Guard Isl now as
sembled.

Charleston special says thata row
is being raised-Many Of the CORES
pondent statements are Untrue-Hew
the matter really stands as between
Col. Casteel and Col. Smith-The lat
ter will likely remain at home and
the former will be second In Com
mand OF the Regiment from this state
Many Of the members Of the guard are
Refusing to volunteer and otkers are
being Rejected by the Exaniners-A
number Of raw men who are anxious
to go may have to be taken after all.
From Thursdays Daily.
The West Virginia National
Guard is now at Charleston in ac-
cordance with the orders Of the gov
ernor who is acting on the orders
he has received from the war de-
partment. The two regiments are
to be consolidated into one and the
Brigade commander General Spill
man will be given the command. 1t
was generally understood that Col.
G. l.. Smith was to have been second
in command but it has developed
that Assistant Adjutant General
Casteel will have that position.
The Charleston correspondent of
the Register states that Smith ranks
Casteel and that it is a matter of
politics in the appointment of the
latter over the former and that an
injustice has been done Col. Smith.
This view of the case is not taken
by men who are informed on the sub
ject here. They say that Casteel
really ranks Smith and that if he
wants the command he should have
it.
Col. Casteel gets his rank by hav-
ing been colonel of the second regi-
ment. He held this position while
Col. Smith was lieutenant colonel of
the first. Consequently by the laws
which govern military precedence he
would rank Col. Smith for all time
unless some very radical change is
made. This being the case there
has been nothing done against Col.
Smith that should not have been
done. Col Casteel is a graduate of
the University, married a Morgan
town girl and is very well known
here
The National Guard will be en-
tirely broken up. They will be re-
quired to enlist in the United States
Army, as volunteers and they will
have to take very searching physi
cal examination. A great many of
the men will be unable to pass this
and many more of them are refusing
to go in at all so that a large num-
Der of entirely new men will have to
be taken. This will give chance to
the new companies all over the state
who have been clamoring to get into
the war.
Camp has been pitched at Charles
ton and the work of examining the
men and enlisting them is going on
as fast as possible. The government
furnishes one surgeon for this board
and DR.. VIM Davidson, of Parkers-
burg, and DR.. F. S. Thomas. of
Charleston, are the two which have
received the appointment from this
state.
DR.. A. M. Buchanan can have the
appointment as chaplain but he has
declined it and there are about forty
applicants for it. 1t pays one hun
bred and fifty dollars and is abso-
lutely safe. So it is very desira-
Bile plum.

AN INVALID PLEA.
Spain win try to convince the world
that she is abused.


There are indications that Spain
will undertake to convince the world
that it is an abused nation. 1t will
say nothing of the awful misery it
created in Cuba or the heavy injuries
it has inflicted upon the United
States. 1t viii conceal the fact un-
parallelled in the history of mod
ern civilization, that it ordered null
titude of women and children into
concentration camps without supply
ing them with food.
The position assumed by Spain has
been that sovereignty in colony is
sacred warrant for any form of atroc-
ity. That idea has run its course in
Cuba. Spain's effort to be pathetic
in its own behalf is in strong contrast
with its monstrous cruelty to the
helpless Cubans. = st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
