The future will be dark and
dreary for the dead beat This is
the beginning of an educational per
iod against the dead beat. Railroad
and other large corporations are
the pioneers in eliminating the dead
beat from the business. They won't
keep a man in their employ unless
he pays his debts. The individual
employer in few years will see that
he cannot afford to give employment
to a dead beat Heretofore there
has been sort of premium offered
to dead beats in this way If one
of them owed you for long time
you would hire him at double wages
or buy something from him at two
prices in order to settle claims
Don't do it any more Give your
work to an honest man who pays
his debts He is the fellow who de
serves the premium.

Turn Oh the Light.

There is good deal of discussion
about the conduct Of the State Uni
versity. The September number OF
the School Journal has an article very
temperate in tone, but very decided,
very sharply the president
of the University. We are not COM
petent to decide In the matter, nor
have we at command facts enough to
enable us to form an opinion. We
hope the editors of the state will re-
frain from all ex parte and partizan
discussion of the matter, and that
those who are responsible for the con-
duct of the University will be able 10
show to the public that they have
acted honestly and wisely. We are
very anxious that the University
should attain the highest and best
success. II the present management
is doing what it should do it will be a
damage to the institution to change
it, and if is incompetent the sooner
it is changed the better. Mountain

HANGED THIS MORNING.


MoUNDsvILLE, October 10.-Shep
Caldwell the murderer was hanged al
the Penitentiary this morning at 1
O'Clock. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Atkinson stopped there yes
terday and reprieyed Broadnax the 9th.
er one for 30 days. Circumstances were
very different In his case and as the
Governor lisa good lawyer he could very
well decide the weight Of evidence and
seeing the palliating circumstances
granted the respite.
In the case Of the other man he de-
clined To interfere and there was
nothing for Warden Hawk to do but
cary out the sentence. Accordingly
the matter was arranged quietly and
no announcement made Of the hour
hence the pruricnt crowd that usually
assemblies on such occasions was avoid
ed. Everything was done in the most
humane and decent way and Warden
Hawk is TO be commended for the
manner in which his unpleasant duty
was performed.

FAULT ELSEWHERE.
Faculty Not to Be Blamed With Any
Trouble.

1t will not do to say that the fog
that is now gathering over the Uni
versity is the work Of the disgruntled
faculty which is said to have hereto
fore made trouble for the President of
that Institution. That is not true.
The faculty is absolutely loyal to the
head and gives every measure its most
hearty support, and it is impossible to
get any member of that faculty to ex-
press sentiment in opposition to any
thing that may be proposed or under
taken. II there is any trouble it is
not between the faculty and the Pres
ident. Index.

A big oil we'll has been struck at
Weston far in advance of development
and the talent is crazy. The well is
producing at the rate Of fifteen hun

out that it is good for several hundred
but nothing like its true size has beer
told. This has been kept quiet to
prevent the oil men from outside get

gentleman who had just come from

Lock Number Nine is disabled and
it will not be ready for use any more
this week. 1t had been intended to
have number Of excursion boats land
here to-day but it was found at the
last minute that they could not get
in. Consequently the arrangement
was made for the boats to come t.
Point Marion and transfer the excur-
sionists at that point when they ar
rived there. The result was to keep
down the number of down river peo-
pie that attended the big affair but
no one could notice this fact.

AS AtucflCduS, We IcCdli UU-udy Wfldt
a wave of delight swept the country
when the news was spread how on
that memorable May morning one of
our great Admirals had walked into
Manila Bay and literally annihilated
one branch Of the much boosted Span
ish Navy. His victory was such as to
excite the admiration of the world.
1t thrilled the American people.
But we were still threatened with
grave dangers. On the Atlantic, our
Navy might be annibilated. Spain's
proudest warships were put in line,
and were commanded by their most H.
lustrious Admiral. Avoiding an open
battle, they successfully reach San
tiago Harbor, and boosted a mighty
and valorous deed.
But most intent was the interest
that centered upon the West Indian
squadron, as itclosed in upon the now
bottled up Spanish fleet within the
harbor Of Santiago. The eyes OF the
world, and especially of West Virgin
ians were fixed upon the gallant ship,
New York, the flagshipof the Admiral
who is now our guest. We were more
interested because with him were two
|of West Virgiilia's sons, Captain Chad
wick and Lieut.. Commander Stan
ton The country had heard from
Dewey and were prepared for an
equally decisive ami brilliant result
from Sampson. Another great naval
battle was fought and another brill
| liant victory achieved. Again the
world stood amazed at the power and
the might Of the American seamen.
The two great wonders Of the world
to-day are the two great naval battles,

other BY the Admiral who to-day DOES
