"A REPUBLICAN TICKET.


Il have a suggestion to make TO those
men who are to constitute the Regular
Republican and Union Republican
state conventions" said a Republican
politician to the Wayfarer. 1T is that
they agree upon Or. Caleb R. Layton
for Congress, Washington Hastings for
state treasurer and ID. Minhin Wilson
for state auditor. If such ticket could
win. any ticket could win. AS there
is a rumor current that Colonel Henry
A. DUPONT and Henry G. Morse have
agreed TO submit the matter OF the
postmastenship to the Republican
voters at the approaching primaries,
would suggest that Hastings and Quig-

The Wayfarer hears a trading stamp
story at the expense OF a woman who
lives well out on the West Side. In
some manner small lamp was upset
in the kitchen, and the cook promptly

she said TO her husband.
meanwhile the cook, who was a
brave sort OF woman, had gone back
to the kitchen and smothegea the

AFTER the crisis had been passed the
husband looked savagely at his wife
and inquired:
'Where's the baby?"

GlGTRIlS ON WHEELS.
1t is astonishing how many Whining
ton girls there are who make use OF the
bicycle in getting to and from their
work, and every day adds to the mum
ber. Early in the morning one can
best judge of the number, the Way
fcrer thinks, because but few young
women and girls are out on the street
az that time unless necessity compels
it. Between Z and O'Clock in the
morning the Wayfarer notices dozens
OF these girls scurrying along on their
wheels over the best paved streets ci
the city, some Of them going to shops
but most of them to stores and offices
In addition to saving car fare they OBJ
tain the benefit of the much-needed ex
elcise, and, besides, have their wheel
for social diversion after the toll Of tn

mark the spot of the terrible con-
hagration is the stone walls ofthe
basement and the charred carcasses
of the twenty-five dumb beasts that
persisted. The sight is horrible.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Suspicion points to an enemy OF
Mr.. Heintzman, and it is believed
that the building was burned by in
cindiary design.
Mr.. Heintzman says the building
must have been fired by Some per-
son, as it could not have been fred
from another cause. 81 fed the
stock at S o'clock and left every
thing all right. My dairyman had
went home to spend day or two
with friends. No one else was about
the barn, and as / never smoke l
never have any matches about my
person. A neighbor boy came in
about eight o'clock to assist me in
doing the milking the next morn
ing. We sat and talked until alter
nine before retiring. Everything
was then apparently all right, and
the building must have been fred
after that time.
Tracks were discovered about the
scene in the morning and were fol-
lowed towards this city for a con-
siderable distance. The track was
broad and short, making it appear
that the party who did the work
possessed a very short, thick foot.
An effort was made to secure dogs
to ferret out the miscreants if the
building had been fired, but it was
thought to be too old, and the trail
could not be followed by the dogs.
The loss will reach $1,000 and
only partially insured.

Mrs. Louisa Bell, wife of Henry
Bell, a we'll known farmer residing
near Wick, departed this life Feb.
II, 1898.
Mrs. Bell was born at Morgan
town, Dec. 13, 1924, her maiden
name being Swisher. On Sept. 6,
I845 she was married to II. Bell,
who survives her, their marriage
life embracing a period of over So
years.
After spending 20 years of their
welded life in Monongalia county,
they removed to Tyler county where
they continued to reside until her
death. She was the mother of FIVE
sons and FIVE daughters, all OF
whom survive her, save two daugh-
tiers.
Mrs. Bell has been member of
the NJ. P. and Christian churches
for more that fifty years, and has
lived a noble life and was a true
hearted christian, and therefore has
led a life worthy of imitation.
AS wife and mother she was
of the kindest and most indulgent.
AS neighbor she was preemin-
emily respected by all, She was a
great lover Of home and ever at
tentive to home affairs.
She had been sufferer from par
alysis agiraus for more than four
years and was confined to her bed
about two months previous to her
death, during which time she never
murmured nor complained.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire community
and all their friends.
Now her chair is vacant,
In the grave she lies;
May we all hope to meet her,
In that home beyond the skies.

One consideration that a railroad
cannot get rid of paying its taxes
aud cannot hide its property. The
board of public works assess them
and we are sure to get their true
valre.
Some may object to a narrow
gauge road, but we must crawl be-
fore we can walk. We have been
reliably informed that the necessary
capital to complete the road, is
forthcoming if the bonds carry.
The road will undoubtedly be wild
ened out to broad gauge in few
years.
The election costs the county
nothing and the people only a few
hours time to vote, and that time
will be well spent and pay the big
gest interest on the investment, if
the bonds carry and the railroad is
built, as the incorporators assure US
it will be. Let each voter 60 around
with a ballot on which is printed,
For Subscription" and be sure to
vote for it. The bonds thus voted
are not given the railroad, but are
subscribed as a part of the capital
stock of the same. The county
will receive its share ofall dividends
declared by the road and is non
accessible.
Let US give one long pull, and
altogether, to get out OF the mud
into the light of progress.

ROCKEFELLER IS SUED

For 81, 600. 900 Worth OF STANDARD OIL
} stock which Is Claimed by James
Corrigan.
Cleveland. March 5.-The suit
of James Corrigan against Jonn D.
Rockefeller, involving Standard
Oil stock valued at 81 ,ooo. 900, came
up before Judge Neff Of the COM
mon pleas court. Corrigan sues to
recover 2,5co shares of Standard
Oil stock, alleged to be worth $500
per share, claiming that Rockefel-
Ter had defrauded him out of the
shares. Rockefeller answered, de-
nying the charges and making a
counter claim.
The question Judge Neff was
called upon to decide was whether
demurrer to the answer was well
taken In his petition Corrigan
said that Rockefeller, as his agent,
held the oil stock in trust. He owed
Rockefeller money and wanted $780,
900 more. This, he AYERS, Rookie
Teller induced him to sign an
agreement wherein he delivered his
stock to Rockefeller. The million
aire, Corrigan, alleges, pretendedto
be his friend, but all the time was
fooling him.
Corrigan asks the court for an
accounting and an order compelling
Rockefeller to return the stock or
its equivalent.

why 1 Will Vote for the Railroad
Bonds.

Bonds.
The question of issuing bonds to
aid the building of a narrow guage
railroad from Sistersville by the
way of Elk Fork. Middlebourne
and McElroy creek, to the Tyler
county line at the mouth OF Big
Flint, and thence to some point on
the B. & o. has been submitted to
the voters of Lincoln. Ellsworth,
McElroy and Centreville districts
for their decision.
Ellsworth is asked to vote on
$4,000, McElroy $4,000, Lincoln
$4,000 and Centreville $500 to
the capital stock Of the railroad
company which will build the rail
road as aforesaid.
The Sistersville g. Salem railroad
company have guaranteed the ex.
penses of this election and it costs
, the county nothing to vote on the
bonds issue.
Now as to the benefits of the
railroad to the county and our citi-
zens. 1t gives the people quick
transportation for their products to
river and city markets. People will
come into our county and settle,
buy farms and expend their money
in the county. Since the great de-
velopment for oil, many of our citi-
zens have received money sufficient
to make them comfortable for life,
and they feel that if they can not
get to the main lines of transporta-
ton at all seasons of the year they
will 60 where these facilities of
transportations are to invest their
money, consequently the railroad
would keep them here.
1t would be better for our PEG.
pie who labor by the dav, because
the building of the road would give
employment for men and teams,
and the farmer who has timber can
sell the road ties at a profitable
price.
But the chief reason is that the
taxes on the railroad when COM
pleted would more than pay off the
bonds in the 80 years they will run.
To illustrate, let us see what other
counties get by way of taxes from
the railroads within their boundar-
les as shown by the books of the
auditors office. The county of
Marshall receives for all purposes
1854 81, the county of Kanawha
$24, 900, and the county of Wayne,
Summers and Mcdowell as much as
they have to pay the state for state

The splendid barn belonging to

The Heintzman barn was known

was built in small hill, and the
first story was under ground and
was utilized for stabling stock, and
the other two stories were full of
feed, etc.
The fire was discovered about
1890 by Mr.. Heintzman's mother
who aroused the whole house. The
flames were bursting out from all
sides of the building and Mr..
Heintzman leaped from his bed, ran
to the barn in his night-clothes,
hoping to secure some of the cows
and horses before they should per-

had already wrought its terrible

forever rule the city and to commence

hereafter white labor should be given
preference over colored and calling for

Turning to the crisis with France,
the premier remarked I'VE have had
quite recently to consider whether the
question Of European war was not
very near. But the result has turned
out happily, through the great judg-
ment and common sense displayed by
France under circumstances of unusual
difficulty. There has been some sur
