With a large adverse majority. and
with the f~usionists strongly intrench-
ed in power. Mr.. Simmons had a task
more difficult than any of his prede-
cessors essayed to perform. With a
faith in the patriotism and integrity
of the people, with the belief that if
the depreciation to which the state had
been brought could be fully known. and
with a capacity Of organization of the
highest order, Mr.. Simmons entered
upon his work. He has made no mis-
take. He has labored day and night.
He has watched every point. He has
seen the weakness of the enemy. He
has pressed the strong arguments OF
his party. He has done everything
hat ability, tact, judgment and con-
genius could suggest. And
as his labOrs have been crowned with
success, the people everywhere give
him grateful thanks for his successful
leadership.-Raleigh News and Ooser-

The Old Fashioned Girl.

She was little girl until she was
fifteen years DID, and then she helped
her mother in her household duties.
She had her hours to play, and en-
joy herself to the fullest extent She
never said to her mother II don t
want to" for obedience was to her a
cherished virtue She arose in the
morning when called and we do not
suppose she had her hair done up in
curling paper and crimping pins, or
banged over her forehead. She did
not grow into young lady and talk
about beaux before she was in her
teens, and she did not read dime nov
els, nor was she fancying hero in
every boy she met. The old-fashioned
girl was modest in her demeanor, and
she never talked slang or used by
words. She did not laugh at old peo-
pie nor make fun of cripples.
She had respect for her elders and
was not above listening to words of
counsel from those older than herself.
She did not know as much as her
mother, nor did she think that her
judgment was as good as that of her
grandmother. She did not go TO par
ties by the time she was ten years old
and stay till midnight, dancing with
chance young men who happened to
be present She went to bed in season,
and doubtless she said her prayers and
slept the sleep of innocence, rose up
in the morning happy and capable of
giving happiness. And now, if there
is an old fashioned girl in the world
to-day, may heaven bless and keep
her and raise up Others like her.

WAR On WOMEN.
A COwardly Performance Reported
from UniOntOwn.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Oct. ga house
occupied by two young women on
Iowa street, was dynamited last night
but by some miracle the building was
not wrecked, and the occupants were
uninjured. The force of the explosion
went outward instead of upward, as
intended. The young women have
had too many visitors to suit the taste
of residents in the vicinity, and they
had been repeatedly requested to move
or change their conduct. Their failure
to do either was followed by the dy-
Mantle plot. The explosion was
terrific, and shook the town, arous-
ing many, who thought there had
been an earthquake.

case. The publicity of the crime, in
my opinion, lead, people with distract
ed minds to initiate, and as result
other crimes are committed.
There is no clue to Keener's where

his private car this morning and

the leading Republicans. He is adj
dressing a crowd of the faithful this
afternoon as we go to press on the

Makes them Feel at Home.

Courtesy towards strangers is one
of the most commendable traits in
the inhabitants of a town. Make
a man feel that he is welcome and
no trouble but a pleasure to show
him the town and country. If he is
prospecting, in all probably he will
locate. With the majority of us it
is not so many years ago that we
were hunting homes, and it is easy
to think ourselves in the stranger
place.

interesting Mental Speculation.

South Dakota is to vote on woman
suffrage next month. If the propo-
sition should be carried and the
women of the state admitted to the
franchise, it will be interesting to
note the effect on the statutes which
prevail there at present in regard to
divorce. South Dakota is one of the
"easy" states to which persons who
desire relief from matrimonial bonds
resort in large numbers.

The West Virginia Boys.
BY MRS. g. o. EvERLsv,

BY MRS. 8. O. EVERLENs
Dedicated to the mothers whose sons
lobly responded to the call for volun-
GERS.
As we listen for the tidings
From the islands far away,
We often think and ponder
OF the boys so blithe and gay
Who lightened all our burdens,
Who multiplied our JOYS,
And we pray that God will bless them
The West Virginia boys.
How our mother hearts ached,
That warm, spring-like day,
As with kisses they left us
So eager for the fray.
And as they left the town,
With all its din and noise,
We prayed that God would keep them
The West Virginia boys.
We think of them at morning,
AS their father plods along,
How willingly they worked
And how CHEEKY was their song
But when the day is ended,
With its sorrows and its Joys,
We pray that God will guard them.
The West Virginia boys.
We know they will be brave,
And to their country true,
As they fight for the flag
OF the red, white and blue:
But when the battle RACES,
And the result is on the poise,
We will pray "0ur Father spare them
The West Virginia boys. ,"
And when the war is over,
And our victory complete;
When our hearts beat time
To the coming of their feet;
AS they rehearse deeds of valor
Worthy OF greater applause,
Then will rejoice the mothers of
The West Virginia boys.

STILL UNSETTLED.
School board has not yet bought
the new seats.

vi HUI AtnOHS tAC SUI
lers and the Board Objects TO Being
Held up-0ne of the Men Flies the
Track-The Members will wait until
they can get fair competition. Prog
ress on the new building-Be echurst
building postponed until spring.
The school board held a session last
night but they did nothing definite in
the way of the purchase Of seats for
the new building. They want over
seven hundred new seats and they
want the very best they can get for
the least money. There were num-
Der of men here to get the contract
and they were apparently very anxious
to underbid one another to do this.
However before the contract was let
it was found by the members of the
board that the men who were repre-
senting the different companies had
been playing little sharp and that
they had formed a combination offer
ing their wares at about the same fig
ureS.
One man had played false to the
ICeU dLu lldu OuSItu W sell HIS DIT
twenty-five cents seat less than the
rest of them had bid. The board got
suspicious after this bit Of by play and
they thought that they would wait
until they could get some honest bids.
There is no real hurry for the seats
and the tax payers of the district
want them To do the very best that
can be done with the money that
will be sent.
The work ON the new building is
going on with satisfactory progress
and it is nearly under roof. There
has been considerable plaster put on
and the building may be ready for oc-
cupancy sometime before school is
out. However in case it is delayed
much by bad weather this will not
be the case.
The board has not yet started the
new school room on Beechurst but
thought that it would be best to wait
until next Spring and get the house
ready for the children next fall They
have a house rented now TO do them
this year and they will attend to the
matter later. There is no especial
hurry and they will attend to it when
it is more convenient, Nothing could
be gained by beginning now.

| Speaking of the game with p. A.
c. The Pittsburg Post says:
The game scheduled to take place
to morrow in the East End between
the z. A. c. and West Virginia uni
versity teams has been postponed
until Thursday. The change was
made for two reasons. First to avoid
conflict with w. u. p. ID. C. IL A.
G. game, and second, because Thurs
day will be holiday by proclama-
tion of the governor OF Pennsylvania.
The East Enders had no trouble in
getting the consent of the West Vir-
ginians to the change. The latter
are well satisfied with their treat
ment by the z. A. c. people oil
along They were paid their full
expenses last SATURDAY and p. A. G.
was ready to hand over the forfeit,
but West Virginians declined to
take it. The game Thursday promises
to be one of the most interesting of

1t is reported that Trenchard and

in line for West Virginia as Ii years
past and no objection can be raised
against them in playing on Thurs
day. The management announces
that any tickets, complimentary or
otherwise, issued for last Saturdays
game will be honored next Thurs
day.
Latrobe may spoil the above ar
rangement by acting the fool. They
have written that they cannot let
Krebs come as they are afraid that
they will make p. A. G. mad. They
forget that last year we let Krebs
and other players go there when we
had games and in other ways showed
them many favors. Manager Romine
is after them and they may back
down from the childish position in
which they are at present.
G. E. Nethkin of the old team
which was such famous one will be
here on Friday and he will go
against Marietta. There is no use
of telling what wonderful strength
he will give to the line nor of the
fact that we will swipe the Ohio ag-
gregation off the map entirely.

Mr.. Kendall's Recent.

Republicans boastfully claim that
there is million dollars in the State
treasury at this time. Well, there
should be. The time for heavy pay
ment as well as legislative appropria-
tions, is near at hand.
When the democrats turned the
government of the State over TO the
Republicans, on the 4th of March of
last year, there was one million one
hundred and thirty-six thousand, four
hundred and seventy-two dollars and
one cent ($1, 1876, 472, Old in the State
! treasury, as witnessed by the follow
ing receipt, given by the present State
treasurer, M. A. Kendall, to the retir-
ing State treasurer, j. NJ Rowan.
So, it seems, the Republicans have
only gotten away with about one hun
dred and thirty-six thousand dollars,
within eighteen months, of the money
in the treasury which the Democrats
left there, Notwithstanding the large
reduction in the assessments on rail-
roads made by them.
A true copy of the receipt of Mr..
Kendall to his Democrat predecessor
is hereunto attached:
OFFICE OF TREASURER,
CHARLESTON, w. VA. Mar. 4, 1897 :
II O'Clock Noon.
Received of Hon. j. M. Rowan, re-
firing State treasurer, eleven hundred
and thirty-six thousand four hundred
and seventy-two dollars and one cent.
Said sum is given as the aggregate
amount of the three funds OF the State
in the various State repositories taken
from the records of the treasurer's
office, and embraces the issuing of
certificate Of deposit No. 1888, issued
on the 3rd inst, and the writing of
check No. 1914, written on the morn
ing of this date.
