The Republican managers in this

stage in their efforts to control the
State Legislature and have began
securing ininnctions from the conrts

lists, when all other measures fail
After conceding that the Democrats
have elected a majority of the mem

have started out securing injunc-

streining the county courts in sew
eral counties from giving certificates
of election to Democratic members.
In this way they hope to have ma
jority of Republican members on
hand with certificates and thus or
ganize the House and unseat a scf-
ficient number of Democrats to give
them control. In addition to this
they propose to bring back two of
their State Senators, who are hold
ing commissions in the United
States army and one of whom occu
pied stolen seat during the last
session, and in direct violation of
the constitution of the State. allow
them to sit as memb ers, simply be-
cause they want their votes for a
Republican for United States Sena-
tor. In the meanwhile, to cover up
and conceal their methods aud pur
poses they are charging the Demo
Gratis with frauds. Over in Taylor
county on recount it was shown
that Dent, the Democratic candidate
was elected to the Legislature, des

they were, threatens to bring suit

schemes the Republican managers
are treating the people of the State
to, but they will not succeed
The Democrats of this State have
elected a majority of the legislature

The Southern Express Company, which
has operated the express business on the
Shenandoah Valley Division of the Nor
folk & Western Railway since Decem-
Der, 1896, seems to be doing an increased
business on this line. On Monday, Nov.
II, they ran special express train from
Elkton to Philadelphia, to accommodate
the Thanksgiving shipments of produce,
ETC., from this section to the eastern mar
kets. The special left Elkton with FIVE
cars one hour ahead of regular train No.
4, and arrived in Philadelphia at 4:3o a,
M, and we are advised that all the ship
ments were promptly delivered. Our
shippers should, and we feel sure that
they do, appreciate the efforts of the
Southern Express Company to get their
shipments to market in good time to Sc
cure the most favorable prices of the sea
son. We are also advised that this COM
pany will make an effort to afford special
facilities during the week preceding
Christmas, to give the shippers of the
Valley the benefit of the best market.
This shows the Southern Express Com
pany is live and enterprising corpora
ton, and will afford their patrons every
facility their business demands.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov 2s.-The
news from Huntington to-day, stating
that the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature. Bennett and Taylor, had re-
ceived their certificates, was received
here with rejoicing ay the Democrats, as
it settles the question of the Democrats
being able to organize the lower House
of the Legislature. and the additions that
may be made to the Democratic listin the
House of Delegates will have to do only
with the question of the extent of the
Democratic majority.
The House of Delegates now stands
thirty-seven Democrats and thirty-two
Republicans, with two in doubt, but they
will probably be Democrats. Those now
in doubt are: one from Taylor county,
where Dent, the Democrat, is found to be
elected, but the legality of his certificate
is questioned by the Republicans. 1t is
believed that Dents certificate will be
found to be valid one by the Courts
the other Democrat who appears to be
elected, is Talbot. in the Lewis Webster
district. If these two men are found to
be legally entitled to seats in the House
it will stand thirty-nine Democrats and
thirty-two Republicans, az Democratic
majority of seven.
Recounts are In progress in Kanawha,
Lewis and Randolph counties. The re-
count in Kanawha will result in the cleo
ton of one or more of the Democrats. A
dispatch from C. Wood Daley to Chair
man ohley. of the Democratic Commit
tee, states that there is not the least doubt
about the two Democratic members from
the Randolph Tucker district getting
their certificates, so they are counted in
the certain Democratic list. The election
of Crook, Democrat. from Lewis Webster
is conceded by the Republicans, and
there appears to be no doubt that Tai
bert, Democrat, in the same district, will
be found to have been elected.
From the most reliable information al
hand it seems there is but little doubt
thBt after all the recounts and all the pos.
sible contests in the courts. there will be
at least thirty-nine Democrats and thirty
two Republicans in the House of Dele
gates, with the possibility of one or more
Democrats being added to the list.

Arbor Day at the Graded School.

In conformity with the suggestion of the
State Superintendent, Arbor Day was OBJ
served at the Graded School on Friday, the
18th. The primary grades had their exerci.
ses from nine till eleven, while the higher
and intermediate grades were reciting their
regular morning lessons. The little people
sang their songs with Joyous hearts, and
read and recited their carefully prepared Sc
lections in a way that showed forth the
painstaking of their faithful teachers. In
the first grade-B section-taught by Miss

The lowering clouds withheld their down
pour until the little ones had planted their
trees and gone home. At eleven o'clock the
exercises of the intermediate and higher
grades began. Some appropriate scripture
selections were read by the Principal of the
school, after which the anthem-"For Ar

by the school, led by Mrs. Wiltshire who
presided at the organ. Then followed most
