residence was the o. J. Sands prop

The temperance people held an

Mrs. Nancy c. Kelly has left for
her home in Monongalia county,

The seat to which Stewart II.
Bowman was elected in the next leg
islature from Barbour county is 10
be contested. He was elected by a
majority of ityeight and the notice
of the contest recites the fact that
there were irregularities in the case
of six votes. Up to this time there
has been no intimation that there
was anything at all wrong with the
Bowman election and he and his OPP
ponent neither had any other opin-
ion than that he was fairly elected.
Prichard, of Marion county, and
Lipscomb of the delegate districC of
Randolph and Tucker have refused
to take part in the steal but the in
formation that comes from Charles
ten is to the effect that enough con-
tests have been inaugurated to en-
able the Republicans to steal the leg
islature.
The move to do this will be one of
the most high handed and open pir-
acy. It is almost inconceivable that
men who have the least spark of man
hood or sense Of deeeney will stoop
to such things. Atkinson, Dawson
and others who are in the job were
known to be unscrupuloas but they
were never charged with being the
deep dyed seroundrels that the facts
in the case would seem to show that
they are.
Dawson as secretary of state has
to make up the roll of the House.
He has no option in this but must
take the certificates which the mem
bers have from the various county
courts. However he proposes to
place all the Republican who have
brought contests on the roll and to
eliminate all the Democrats whose
places are contested.
In order to keep the natural in
dignation Of the people down he will
have several companies of militia in
the capital ready to bayonet anyone
who objects. Such a condition of
affairs will cause every right minded
citizen of the state whether Demo
crat or Republican to feel the deep
est indignation. The sentiment of
the God fearing people of the state
and the people who are honest will
not uphold any such proceedings
and the plan if carried out it will
mean perpetual Punishment of the
Williams who are at the bottom of
the dastardly scheme.

When young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, If the father
is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from ill
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do so is TO commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inner
tied If a man is a consumptive the
chances are that his children will have
weak, understood lungs, and a predisposi-
