The Richmond News, a new after
noon Democratic daily newspaper,
made its appearance in our capital
city on the 5th inst, and judging from
the issues received there is every rea
son to believe that it will fill long
felt want and prove success from
every star dpoint. Amp'e capital is
behind the News and it's management
is of high order. Harvey L. Wilson
is editor in chief ard he has associated
with him some Ct the best newspaper
talent to be found in the South. Dem
ocratic always is its motto. We wish
ii success.

Col. Vincent of course expects tC
have the support of those loyal Demo
Gratis who signed that fattering Call,
and he also expects that a heavy Re
publican vote will be dropped N the
box for him. He ought therefore to
be careful how he speaks of ''self styled
leaders who are selfish, unjust and
tyranical," bee ause these terms sc
exactly fit the Republican leaders OF
today that they may find the shoe
pinch, and refuse to vote for this gal
liant standard bearer, on account of his
talk about them.

grants bounty of cent per pound on
all sugar manufactured from beets
raised in Pennsylvania for which the
sugar factory has paid not less than S.

for five years. The New York law,
which went into effect in 1897, is limit

the appropriations for bounties in 1898
was $4,000. Michigan has a similar

The prosperity of town, village or

the wealth OF its inhabitants, but the
uniformity with which they pull to-
gether when any important duty is to be
accomplished. A man with thousand

in the welfare of his town at heart can
do more for the building and improve

Three weeks ago THE STAR stated,
from what was considered good author

internal revenue department, bank de-
positors are not required to put stamp
on checks drawn against their own de-
posits, payable to themselves. Since it
was published there was dispute
about the statement, and we wrote to
the department last week and received
the following answer, which shows that
we were misinformed: Treasury De-
partment, Washington, d. c., January
2sth, 1899: This Office acknowledges
the receipt of your letter of January
25th, 1899, asking II depositors can use
unstamped checks when Withdrawing

ply, you are advised that any check
presented by depositor for the with
drawal OF funds to his credit, must have

A man named Frank Andrews was
arrested in Dubois one day last week
for selling oleomargarine and was fined
$4,000. II. r. Curtin, of Bellefonte,
special agent for the Department Of
Agriculture, was in Dubois and had
Andrews arrested. The Courier says:
"Agent Curtin says he knows Of several
other places in town where the oleo is,
or has been, sold and he warns them
that II the practice is not stopped forth
with, they will not escape as easily as
did Andrews" Just why Andrews
should be arrested and fined while the
violation of "The Pure Food and Dairy
Laws" is being carried on by other peo-
pie in Dubois to the knowledge of the
official, who is sworn to do his duty is
something we don't understand. Every
last one who sells oleo in Dubois de-
served the same punishment as that
given to Andrews. We have been in
formed that there is IA fellow in Reyn-

and palming 1t of for creamery butter.

Parkersburg Firm Assigns,

AS sequel to the disappearance of
Sol We'll of the firm of s. We'll & Co.,
clothing dealers OF Parkersburg, which
occurred about week ago, the firm
has been compelled to make an assign
ment to satisfy its creditors 1t was
quite shock to social circles, and in
fact all circles. when the fact. that the
young man had tilsappeafeds became
known, and it developed aha he had
been doing something with the money
belonging to the firm, WHICH sshad not
netted them the returns II should have
done. His father, David We'll, had
been furnishing the money to conduct
the business and the son had been do
ing the work.
When the fact became known that
the young man was gone, a represen-
tative of a Baltimore firm which had
sold the Parkersburg firm goods, came
to Parkersburg and tried to get list
of the goods on hand in the stock that
they had sold to them. This he had
been unable to do until Tuesday when
by the aid of someone thought to have
been at work in the store, he obtained
list of them. He at once got out a
writ of detinue, which corresponds to
a WRIT of replevin in Ohio, and thus
hoped to get more than the proportion
which will probably accrue to them in
the case of an assignment. The other
creditors who were trying to get a
settlement of their claims, hearing of
this mans action Immediately went
before Judge Tavenner and were
granted an injunction. Then David
Well pgoceeded to make a formal as
signment. The assignee was not nam
ed at midnight last night. 3ae
Quite a flutter was created among
the creditors when it was learned what
had been done by one man whom the
firm owed and they began to hustle to
protect themselves, with the result as
| above stated.
