WANTS OUT.
"Fighting Tom" Cooper is tired Of

faxed the newspapers.
An application has been made to
the board of pardons for the release of
Fighting Tom Cooper, the Terror
of Baldwin Township and several
other things with horrible capitals.
He has been confined in the work
house for about a year as result of
being on a Jag and shooting several
men.
Tom is getting tired of the restraint
and he wants out to get on another
foot. He is the rankest kind OF q
fraud as bad man and the officers
who chased him up here are about the
worst fakes ever seen in this neck Of
of the woods.
The Pittsburg papers had columns
of rot about Man Hunt for Hundreds
OF Miles in West Virginia and lot
more Of that sort of thing when
the man they were after went as
meekly as a lamb as soon as he was
asked TO do SO.
He would have done so long before
he did If he were asked to go but the
detectives after him wanted to get all
the glory they could out Of the expert
ence. Cooper is known to many peo-
pie around here and he frequently Wis
it's them. His character for blood
thirstiness has never been very alarm
ing and he is as harmless as child.

w. ]. White tells about the
mastering out of the First.

AhuSeChtiS out VI tilC IL 81
To be completed in few days-Men
are anxious to get h0me--Others In
Guiding himself will visit while home
ward bound The Second Elkins
trying to keep 1t in-Men are very
much opposed to this but their pro
tests go for nothing.
Mayor w. f. GIasscock is in re-
ceipt of letter from Adjutant w.
j. White of the First Regiment in
which he states that the work of
mastering out the organization was
expected to be finished on the fourth
of this month at the time the letter
was written. There have been many
delays but these have all been over
come and the work is only little
short of completion.
The men are very anxious TO get
home. Some Of them however like
the life and they are being trans
ferred to other regiments at their
own request. The majority of them
however cannot get home too SOON
Lieutenant White expects to be at
home about the last of the month as
be will visit along on his way and
will not come straight home. The
other men from Morgantown are ex-
pected to make straight shoot for
their homes
The average health of the regiment
is good and they are making high
standing as far as physical vigor goes.
This has been made very searching
in order to cut off any demands for
pensions that might be founded on
disabilities received while in the
service.
A Washington special has the fol
lowing to say about the Second
which is of interest here:
Inquiry at the war department. de
velops the fact that the Second West
Virginia regiment now occupies the
same position in respect to muster
ing out as do the regiments in the
field. It's retention in the service
depends upon circumstances All
regiments now held in reserve, the
Second West Virginia included, will
be mustered out at the conclusion of
peace, or when the war department
decides there is no longer need Of
their services.
In this connection it is proper to
state, which is done upon authority,
that neither Senator Elkins nor
Commissioner Scott has sought to
have the regiment discharged. tits
understood large majority of the
men prefer to remain in the service,
and the fact that the command was
at any time liable to muster out was
due to circumstances which neither
of the gentlemen named could con-
troll, and with which they had moth
ing to do.
The continued reiteration of the
desire of the men to remain in the
service after nearly everyone of them
has signed a petition to be let out
must be highly entertaining to
them. They want out and they want
out badly. Of course the officers
do not want to be discharged and
Elkins and Scott owe it to the po-
litical pets who for the most part
compose the list of officers to keep
tham in as 1onfr a Y,oos;hlo

try has at no time left any part of the

which amounted to S5l5, SOC, ,620, were
also the largest on record, with the
same exception.

little over S605 900 900, an amount ex-
ceeded only twice-in 1863 and in 1864
There was deficiency of $50, Ill, $50
in ordinary revenues.

notes and certificates, the total receipts
on all accounts by warrants were ST.
OBS. 451, $40, and the total disbarse-
ments, S946, 49,, l4s. With the addition
of the proceedings of the new 3 per
cent to the ordinary revenues, there
was fiscal surplus of 500, 79l, ,52l for
the year The receipts from the loan
represented every part of the country.
OF the total of nearly 800 600, 900, up
wards of SIPS, 900, 900 came to the Office
in Washington in the form of checks
on banks in every part of the country.

misunderstood THE FACTS.
Controversy between General Funston and
Archbishop ireland.

Minneapolis, Nov. 5.-Thomas Camp
bell, late Of the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment, says the controversy between
General Funston and Archbishop Ire
land regarding church desecration in
the Philippines, is based on misun-
derstanding of the facts. lie says that
he, himself is a Catholic, and that
there were a score or more Catholics in
his company, all of whom had as many
church relics as did their Protestant
comrades.
The reason, he says, is that the Fill
pinos themselves had desecrated the
churches before the United States
troops came. The buildings were loop
holed for small arms aud used as store
houses and hospitals, so that the de-
structions Of the buildings became a
stragetic necessity. The paraphernalia
either had TO be taken away or suffer
destruction with the building.
