Logan County Authorities Think Something

1t is said that the authorities
at Logan have become uneasy on
account of the suspicious actions
of "Cap" Hatfield, who is con-
fined in Jail there, and have asked
Judge Doolfttle to have him re-
moved to a more substantial Jail.
1t is reported here that he will
probably be moved to a Hunt

surrendered to the authorities,
under an agreement that he
should have a change OF venue
from Mingo county to Logan
county. to be tried. Should he
be moved elsewhere it would be
only for safe keeping, as he will
be tried in Logan at the next
term of the circuit court.

learned from another authority
that the man who did not eat
meat could never attain the
strength of mind and body that
nature attended. He ceased all
stimulants because he read that
they were detrimental and then
came across the assurance of
another well learned doctor that
nothing was better than these
sans stimulants judlciously taken.
The farther he went the greater
the confusion. Tobacco was
poison. Tobacco was great
thing because it kept. out the
deadly microbes to which the
mouth is peculiarly susceptible.
Late eating was ruinous. Late
eating was a source of health be-
cause it attracted the blood from
the brain to the stomach and
induced sleep.
Besides, it was not intended
that the system should go twelve
hours out of the twenty-four
without taking in sustenance.

An Eastern Shore Question.

Strangers tell us it is fact that after
the formalities of an introduction to an
eastern shore man at his own home al
ways follows the question:: "Is this your
first visit to the eastern shorey" The
origin of this custom was set forth by an
eastern shore man at a Cincinnati ban
quet at Newport, r. l., some years ago,
when he was twitted about the popularity
of his countrymen. The story Is true
one.
When General Lafayette accepted the in
vitation of congress in 1894 and came to
this country as the nations guest, great
reception was rendered him at the state
house in Annapolis officially by the state.
The governor of Maryland at that time
was IN eastern shore farmer, who lived
on bis farm except when the general as
sembly was in session or when he was
called to Annapolis at other times on OFF,
cial business. OF course his presence was
indispensable at the Lafayette reception.
His function, indeed, was to introduce the
distinguished guest. The governor made
the trip on horseback around the head Of
the bay, clad in homespun suit made on
his own looms The roads and weather
being worse than he calculated for when
he left home, he did not reach the capital
until the day of the reception and after all
the other notabilities were there ana wait
ing for the governor, who was hastily ush-
cred into the senate chamber, his clothes
splashed with mud just as he was when
he dismounted. The distinguished people
in splendid array in the chamber confused
the plain and patriotic eastern shore gov
ernor, and when he was presented to La
fayette he could think Of nothing to say
for the moment and blurted out, SIS this
the first time you were ever In this coun-
try, general?" and from the day the east
ern shore governor made that faux pas to
this the question is religiously, patriotic
ally and proudly put to the stranger when
his footsteps first touch the eastern shore
strand.-Baltimo Sun.
