IN BROOKE COUNTY.
Democrats Will Probably Win-Dovener's
Double Dealin. with the Wellsburg Post
inastership Causing Trouble

To the Editor of the Register.
Wellsburg, w. Va, October 21.-The
political situation UP in old Brooke
county is in a measure very much
strained. There is that same feeling
among the Republicans that prevailed
among the Democratic leaders few
years ago when the county slumped in
to the Republican ranks. This year
the only office &c be filled being that of
Congressman, with Capt. B. B. Dovener
to head the ticket, makes it look decid-
eddy blue for Republicanism. When
Capt. DOvener spoke here a few weeks
ago there were barely enough people
prssent/to warrant tn Captain in be-
lieving his election was an assured
thing, so far as this county was con-
cerned. There was no enthusiasm and
the Captain went over the same story
Of what he had done in Congress for the
suffering Brooke county farmer. There
was but one farmer who heard him say
that and at the conclusion of Mr. Dow
ener's remarks said ooh my, but that's
old" So much for the farmer. The
Republicans cannot depend on the far
mers to keep them out this year.
In Wellsburg alone, the crop of Dow
ener boomers consists of about a dozen
candidates for the only plum in the
county-the Wellsburg postoffice. The
successful candidate must be named
between now and February list next
when the present incumbent's time ex-
pires. The Captain has promised all
of them the office-one at a time of
course and that very confdentially-so
they look at each other with a feeling
of Il know more than you do sort
They are peculiar lot. these candi-
dates are, in that they all belong to
some one of the many secret organiza-
tions that the Hon. B. B. Dovener be-
longs to, and through this they each ex-
pect to capture te plum in the City
Building. 1t is safe to say there will
be the grandest lot of sore heads about
here during Christmas week that any
one ever saw. That not one of the
present candidates can possibly receive

We do not like women who
want to hold Office, nor men eth.
er for that matter. But there is
something essentially disagreea-
BILE to US IN the masculine airs
such women put on, whlch after
a time become matters o. habit.
No, we don't like women at the
bar, nor in public Office, nor on
both sides OF a horse at once, nor
on a bicycle; although we have
struggled hard to master this
latter aversion. When we were
a boy We thought girls didn't
walk like boys but just glided
round like angels, but since we
see how much they resemble
boys in all parts and particulars,
and how narrowly they escaped
being boys altogether, our beauti-
full vision has been marred con-
siderably.-Er.

Leap Year VIII Run Out.

In time leap year will go out
of existence, explained an alma
mac computer to q reporter. but,
as it will not occur for over 500
years. we haven't much personal
interest in the event. In the
ordinary course OF events 1900
would be leap year, but it will
get left in the calculation. In
other words, while it does occur.
it does not occur, simply because
it is not in the agreement that 1t
shall occur. The story is q long
one, but it can be briefly told. SO
that the average person can I'M
derstand it without much difficult
ty. In 1889. in the arrangement
of the Julian calendar, ten days
were dropped so as to get things
running on the then new but the
present basis Of calculating time.
So as to keep things running
right, it was determined that q
year ending century should not
be bis.sextile, except every fourth
century. Thus there was no leap
in 100, 1900 or 1900. 1t is, or at
least was. rather rough on the
ladies who have special advant-
ages III leap year, for it is the
only year that it is proper for
them to propose themselves in
marriage. but it has always been
SO in matters affecting woman
kind, men always finding reasons
for restricting their privileges.
The ladies get left again in 1900,
though there will not be many
Of those who see 1900 who will
see 1000, the latter year ending q
fourth century, will be leap year.
In this way three days are re.
trenched in four centuries, and
the remaining seven days will be
made up>in a little over 800 years.
After that calendar years will be
like solar years and future errors
in the calculation of time will
occur no more. The loss Of leap
years will in thousands of years
affect the seasons, but we sup;
pose the mathematicians Of the
centuries hence will be 50 flip in
Hing figures and scalcuiations'
that they will have no difficulty
In keeping things going correctly.

APRIL As A war MONTH.

1t is O remarkable coincidence,
revealed through historical facts,
that the month OF April Is the
war month OF our country pnts
ing other months Of the year We
have had war and rumors Of war
but strange 1t may seem. they
generally found their beginning
and oftimes their ending during
the month of April. The war for
American Independence had its
beginning on the battlefelds Of
Lexington and Concord, April
10, 1775, and Gen. Washington
announced to his troops the sus-
pension OF hostilities April 10.
1888, but eight years later.
The first blood shed in the
Mexican war was on the 26th
day OF April, 1916. Gen. Taylor
had sent force Of so dragons
under Capt. Thornton to recon
noitre the Mexican lines. The
dragons were surprised and lost
16 killed. Tho remainder we're
taken prisoners. and thornton
alone escaped.
The first gun in the late civil
war was the shot that was heard
around the world on the 18th Of
April. 1861. and Fort Sumter
was fired upon; and on April is
President Lincoln issued his
proclamation calling for $4,000
men. In response to this call
the Logan guards OF Pennsylvania
arrived at Washington April 18th
being the first volunteers TO re-
port for the defense Of the Capt.
tai. On the 10Th the Sixth Mass.
regiment was fired upon in the
streets of Baltimore city. That
night the Norfolk navy yards
were burned and Harper's Ferry
arsenal was taken.
Richmond fell into the hands.
of our troops April 3, 1865, Gen
Lee surrendered on the 4th, and
on the 18th the army of Northern
Virginia formed in divisions for
the last time, and marching to q
designated spot at Appomattox
Court House, laid down its arms
and dlsbanded, occurring just
four years from the time Fort
Sumter was fred upon. Johnson's
agreement to surrender was first
signed on April 18th. just four
years from the time the first
troops arrived to protect orr
Capital.
President Lincoln was assassi.
mated April 14th and died on the
18th, fonr years from the time he
issued the cali for troops. Its
to be hoped We shall not see an
other war, and if it's not declar.

escapsit.
