COLD FLOODED MURDER.
Grant Shaver Kills his Brother
Henry in Preston County.
Shoots Him in the Back After Quar-
reI-Shows no Signs of RemOrse-
Body of Murdered Man Lies in the
Rain all Night Witnesses
the Killing Murderer in Jail.

News has just reached here of a
deliberate cod blooded murder in
Preston county near Tunnelton. The
murderer Grant Shaver is now in jail
at Kingwood coolly awaiting the
action of the courts in his case. He
shows no emotion and no regret at
the act which made him the slayer of
his brother who was shot in the back
as he walked away from his old home
The shooting grew out of quarrel
about right of way for road
through the home place owned by
Grant. Henry his brother claimed
that his father had given him the
right of way through the home place
This Grant denied and the men quar-
relied over this.
Henry came along few days ago
and started through over the alleged
right of way. Grant ordered him off
and they had quarrel. Henry dared
Grant out of the house but he was
afraid to come and finally Henry start
ed to walk away.
Grant went up stairs and taking
deliberate aim shot twice at his broth
er with revolver. Failing to hit
him with this he got down his rifle
and fired with that. The first shot
struck Henry who died within few
seconds.
The mother OF the two sons was a
spectator of the killing. The body
of the murdered man lay where it fell
in the rain from four in the afternoon
until the next morning before it was
removed. The murderer when arrest
ed had gone to bed and was sound
asleep.
He showed no qualms and seemed
to be utterly Indifferent TO what he
had done. Both men have large FAM
lilies.

soon. The curbing Is being set now.

The sidewalk has been cut down to
a considerable extent and the sides of
the banks will be sodded and made
into beautiful terraces with wide
stone steps leading up to the campus

for the beauty Of the place will be
due to Prof. r. L. Morris whose ideas
were carried out TO the letter by Col.

SOME CHANGES.
Later Returns Show More
Ground Gained by Democrats.

kentucky Is Ilamneu Dy Both Sides
Official Returns will Show which way
1t went-Maryland and Nebraska In.
crease Majorities Ohio is Bigger
Than at Filst Reported.
The later returns from the cleo
ton have changed the aspects of it
to some extent and the Democrats
have now Joined with, the Republic
cans in claiming Kentucky. It will
be so close that it will require the
official count to decide It, The re-
turus are coming in slowly from the
mountain counties and the eleventh
district which gave republican
majority OF 10000 will probably go
Democratic. 9hi, viii reduce the
lead to nothing and Goebel claims
his election.
Blackburn also claims that the
state has gone Democratic and that
both branches of the legislature are
the same way. Taylor claims his
election by small figure and the
official count will be needed to set
tie the matter.
In Nebraska and Maryland the ma
iorities grow. They have reached
about 5000 in each. Ohio gives Nash
a larger majority than at first thought
nearly $4,000. Jones has is
sued a statement la which he claims
that the result is a slap at the expan-
sion policy and that only forty seven
percent Of the Ohio voters supported
the administration.
The changes in the other states
have been small and they are about
as first announced. In Fayette coun-
ty where the Judgeship fight was
very hot one the Democrats have
elected Umbel by a small majority.
The election of Ewing by three hun
dred was claimed by the Republicans
on yesterday
Town elections in Rhode Island.
Michigan and California were in favor
OF the Democrats. Boston also went
that way for the first time for three
years.

Say a Word For Your Town.

More towns die for the want OF
confidence on the part Of the bust
ness men and lack of public spirit,
than from the rivalry of neighboring
towns or adverse surroundings
When a man who is in search of
home or business location goes to a
town and finds everything brimful
of hope and enthusiasm over the
prospects of the place, and everybody
at work to build up the town, be
soon becomes imbued with the same
spirit, and as result he drives
down his stake and goes to work
with the same interest. When how
ever, he goes to town and anyone
expresses doubt and apprehension
in the future prosperity Of the place.
moping about and indulging in com
plants about imaginary evils which
are likely to befall the town, he nat
urally feels that it is no place for
him. and at once shakes the dust
from his feet, while be pulls with all
possible speed to some other town.
Consequently, try and make live,
enterprising, progressive town out
of the one in which you live. When
you are working or saying good
thing for your town you are accom-
plishing all the more for yourself.

Mr.. Wharton is very favorably
known over town and has built up a

FOR A PARK.
DR.. Brock tells why he Wants
the Start Toward 1t Made.
Chadwick Day Money will Make M
cleus Will Interest Everyone in rhe
Plan-Seyeral Sites Can be Secured
Main Thing just Now Is to Get The
Start Made Details Later.

Dr. L. S. Brock who made the prop
osition TO use the money left over
from Chadwick Day as nucleus of a
fund for park was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper and asked to
talk about the plan that he proposed
and what he wanted done
He stated that he had been very
much taken with the idea of a park
as proposed by the NEW DOMINION
and that the plan had every reason to
be put into execution. The town
needed park. There was but one
side to the matter. Now for the best
way to get il.
my idea about the money was not
that it would be enough to do any
thing of itself but that it would be
start and even then it would be
more Of help in that it interested
everyone in the plan than from the
amount of money that could be Sc
cured by taking it.
We can lay out park on the other
side of the new bridge facing Deckers
Greek and have delightful place.
Or we can get control of the Rich
Woods and turn that into pleasure
place. Drives could be made to the
Hogback and delightful place could
be made out Of it. This is the only
piece OF woodland near town and if
something is not done with it in this
direction in few years 1t will have
been cleared out and will be a barren
desolate place.
As park it would be one of the
most beautiful in the country, but
the location is not the main thing.
That could be decided afterwards.
The principal matter now to engage
our attention is how TO get park and
how the start should be made. For
one / thiuk that the Chadwick Day
money would be an admirable thing
to put in to this plan and it will be a
success without doubt. There are
many other people who second the
plan and who will enthusiastically
support IT,

Aspirant- The Others Who Want 1t.
Men OF all parties appear TO believe
that West Virginia Will be good fight
ing ground in the next campaign. and
there are therefore many candidates
for places on the State tickets of both
parties, with indications that they
will increase and mltiply in number as
the time for the convention approach
es. Geography will, as usual. be "a
factor In the personnel Of the tickets,
and already there are rumors of deals
and attempted deals, one u ,shich &c
noted below. The office of State
superintendent OF Free Schools is not
50 important from the standpoint OF
emolument, as Auditor or Governor,
but there will nevertheless be a very
lively scramble for the nomination.
On the Republican side, for exam
pie, it is generally understood that
j. Russell Trotter, the present Super
intendent, is extremely anxious to
succeed himself, and 1t is also gener-
ally understood shat there is a strong
element antagonistic TO him in his
own party. One OF his strongest OPP
ponents for the nomination will be
Prof. George M. Ford, principal Of
the Concord Normal School, and for a
time principal Of the Benwood public
schools. He has large following
throughout the State. Another avow-
ed candidate for the place is II. G.
Lockney, of Wood county. Prof.
Miller, OF Morgantown, who was de-
feated by Virgil A. Lewis. would also
like to have the nomination again.
One of the strongest prospective
candidates on the Democratic side OF
the fence is Howard L. Swisher, OF
Morgantown, who is University
graduate, and the author of book OF
poems which has attracted consider
able attention.

Monongalia county, it may be re-
marked parenthetically, is not very
modest in political way. In addi-
tion TO two candidates for State Sup

ty asks for one Of the Supreme Judge
ships on the Republican ticket, and
Hon. r. e. Fast aspires to the Guber-
Material chair. Senator Fast is un-
derstood to be receptive candidate.
He is a man OF recognized ability,
and but for the fact that his health is
poor, would probably enter actively
into the fight against A. B. White, ct
