Man Accused of witchcraft.

Last August Mrs. Herman Dalke of
Center died under mysterious circum-
stances. Shortly afterward her children,
Mary, aged ID; August, aged 8, and An
tonic, 6, also died. The peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the deaths caused a
lot of talk and the name of John Dalke,
her brother-in-law and a cripple, was
mentioned unfayorably. Then queer
disease attacked stock in the neighbor-
hood and several head of cattle died.
This caused great excitement and the
German settlers of the vicinity accused
young Dalke of witchcraft. The cripple
instead of denying the reports claims he
has supernatural powers. The neighbors
threaten to lynch him.

filed. The precise time OF the turn TO-
ward prosperity was little earlier
than that mentioned by the Iowa SEN
ator. It was when the count Of the
votes cast at the Presidential election
Of November, 1896, showed that pro-
lection, sound money and everything
else genuinely American and thorough
ly safe and sensible were insured for
at least four years to come. The mo-
ment that assurance was made clear
by the count ST the vote prosperity be-
gan to arrive. It came slowly at first,
but it has kept coming in grand style
ever since, and apparently is not yet
done coming.
An Object Lesson for Kentucky.
",Way down in Old Kentucky they
are feeling the difference between keep
ing the American market for ourselves,
in supplying the demands OF the Amerl-
can people with American products, In
keeping American money at home and
in attracting the gold of other countries
to the United States-the difference be-
tween all that and the giving up freely
to foreigners all the advantages OF the
American market Mr.. George Braden,
president of the Globe Fertilizing Com
pany, of Louisville, recently spoke as
follows:
''In kentucky the general business
conditions are better than they have
been since 1898, and in some respects
they are better than they have ever
been since I can remember, Manufac-
turers are very busy, and concerns are
paying better dividends than they have
paid for a long time. In addition,
goodly number of new industries have
sprung into existence, and there Is,
therefore, plenty of work at good pay
for all. +. Money is easy, and we have
felt no stringency whatever"
This sort Of thing ought to swing
Kentucky over permanently to the par
ty which makes it's fundamental prin-
ciple of faith the protection of Ameri-
can interests.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE PHILIPPINES,

From the Baltimore sum
Messrs. Editors:-I saw some time
ago suggestion in your paper that
it was time for the people opposed to
the present policy of this government
to assert their disapproval of this
cruel and useless war upon the FIJI
pinos Cannot mass.meetings be held
throughout tie country? 1t Is patle-
tic 20 read Of those poor islanders,
many armed only with bows and ar
rows, moved down remorselessly by
the Americans. Even the wOmeL,
without distinction of class or age"
are offering their services to "take the
place Of the men who fall in defense
ofthrir liberty and independence"
The love Of their country, they say
will make them strong to combat tie
Americans. What a commentary on
Mr.. McKinley's war for benevolent
assimilation"
Let us rouse ourselves TO put stop
to this. No effort has been made
by the officers in command to win
the confidence of these people. Con
eral Otis refused some time ago even
to listen to Aguinaldo's messengers
and arrogantly calls them "rebels."
Against whom, pray? The whole
course of this republican war is par
alIel with the arrogant war waged
against the South, and brought on by
the same class Of pious self-sceking
politicians. The better thought of
the country should be heard in every
community and force an end to tins
state of affairs, ltshould be no longer
tolerated. r. NJ. H.

The dispatches from the Philippine
islands report that The men, women
and children can be seen running
from the towns, carrying some ar
ticles of household furniture, as the
gunbOats shell and destroy their
homes. Such news may cause tie
hearts Of the pious humanitarians
who inaugurated this unholy war, TO
be glad, but We cannot believe that
the great mass Of the American peo-
pie rejoice in such news. 1t may 10
that people Of the Shenandoah Val
lev. who were compelled to stand and
see their homes, representing the ac-
emulation OF life time, destroyed
by the torches of the tire-fends who
invaded this section in 1864, have
more than the usual amount OF SYM
patty for these home loving people
who lived quiet and joyous lives in
their humble Cottages in that far off
island, before the Americans, who
came 10 protect them from Spanish
cruelty, set foot upon their shores.
That the war is waged with more
than savage ferocity upon the part Of
the Americans is evident from the
dispatches Of the war correspondents.
Is it not enough that their men
should be ruthlessly slaughtered,
without driving the women and chill
dren from their homes? 1t Is to he
hoped that the war will speedily end,i
il does not the voice Of the American
people will be heard in such tones az
will make the present administration
tremble.
What have these people done to rs
that we should slaughter them IN tbs
barbarous manner' They were fight
ing the Spaniards for independence.
They had the Spauiards confined 10
a very small section Of their island,
when the Americans, from human
tartan motives, gave the SpanlarGS
S!O,OOO,OOO for the privilege Of fight
ing the Filipinos, and are now "mow-
ing down" these people who love
liberty and will sacrifice their lives
rather than be enslaved. The liberty
loving people Of the United States
will certainly soon give expression
to their sentine nts.

w. II. +. King, a sign writer or

for some weeks, boarding in the
meanwhile with Mr.. J. w. lloltz
man, at the Shenandoah House, took
French leave on Thursday OF last
week, forgetting il the hurry OF
starting to bid his fiends good 10y, or
even to settle his board bill. He also
passed check on w. Va,
bank on Mr.. Hoffman for S36.OO,
making the entire amount OF his III
debtedness to Mr.. Hoffman about
$500. He told Mr.. III. that he had
an invitation to dine with some one
in the country, but as he did not re-
turn by the next day, Mr.. II. grew
suspicious and at once set the te.C'
phone at work. Messages were sent
to all the principal points on the line
giving a description of King, who is
rather medium height, wears glasses,
has thick lips and wore a small dark
or sandy mustache, has rather a pc
culiar look in his eyes. King dresses
well and wore most OF the time a cap
made of black velvet or some similar
material BY a phone message re-
ceived from Wardensville it was
learned that he had been in that
place on Saturday and did some sign
work there. As many points in that
part ofW. Va, have been notified by
phone, telegraph and letter,it is hoped
that King may be caught and
brought back for a dose Of justice.
