The trouble arose over a game of
caTcs and each man threatened the

a revolver to carry out their threats.
Findley secured gun first, and
meeting Fitzgerald on the street, fired
five times, two bullets penetrating the
breast.
Findley attempted to escape but was
caught in the suburbs.
He is a desperate character and has
already served a term III the Mounds
vile penitentiary for highway robbery.
A telegram was received here this
morning to the effect that Findley's
youngest brother had been murdered
in Lawrence county, Ohio, but no par

SISTERSyILLE

Sistersville, w. Va, February 10
The cold weather of the past week has
had a very detrimental effect on the
work in the oil fields. A great many
of the operators and producers were
not prepared for such cold snap as
the one which has prevailed during the
week just past and their lines, which
were buried only deep enough for the
usually mild winter weather which has
prevailed in this section during the
past five years. There is not more
than dozen wells drilling in the fields
in Tyler county, and over in the pools
across the river there is not that
many. The losses which will follow
the present extreme cold snap will
amount to many thousands of dollars.

the past. Quite number of persons
from Wheeling, Parkersburg and Mari

SOMETHING HE DARE NOT DO.

With every day that passes it be-
comes more plain that the president
has never intended to punish" Gen
eral Miles. If Alger and Corbin and
Eagan put that idea into his head the
loud terrestrial rumbling that saluted
his listening ear quickly drove it out
again. A president much more strong
will and audacious than William Nc
Kinley might we'll turn pale at the
sure consequences of an attempt to
degrade the commanding general for
telling the people what our soldiers
have suffered through hideous in

PROTECTION AND TRUSTS.
MOnOpOHes Have Multiplied md
FlOurished Under Repub-
lican Rule.

Trusts and protection are yokefel-
lows. They pull together and advance
the prosperity of the money power.
Not SO very long ago Mckinley was
talking about protecting the Infant in
dustry" of manufacturing tin plate.
Now the tin plate trust is one of the
most oppressive of corporations. Tin
plate is difficult to obtain because it is
protected by the tariff and production
has been curtailed by the trust.
In the market reports it is stated
that owing to the short supply" tin
plate is advanced in price to $3.50 box,
an increase of $3.50 box in the last
six months.
Tin plate workers are thrown out Of
employment, operatives are discharged,
wages reduced, production cut down in
order TO force prices up.
III there are a million boxes of tin
plate produced in this country annual
ly this action of the trust has taxed
the people of the United States just
s1.5oO,oO
Thus the republican administration
has levied an impost of 81 ,500. 900 on the
people for the express purpose Of max
ing the tin plate manufacturers rich.
There can be no foreign competition.
McKinley's Infant industry" is amply
protected by the tariff.
What do the people think of repub-
lican lawmaking when In this one in
stance il is shown that 1t costs them
si.5oo.ooo year?
The tariff is great thing for the
trusts. and the trust managers knew
this when they invested millions of dol
lars in campaign funds TO buy votes for
McKinley.-Chicago Democrat.
The Forrest City times. [volume] (Forrest City, Ark.) 1871-1919, 1899-04-07
PARAGRApHIc POINTERS

-Republicanism's Frankenstein,
the trust evil, has now apparently at
tanned such menacing proportions as
to brighten even its creator.-St Louis
Republic.
Mark Hanna is versatile. He can
take care of the president. manage the
Ohio campaign and superintend the
syndication of Cuba at the same time.
He has a three-pronged brain and an
octopodean touch.-St Louis Republic.
1t is observed that the admins
tration organs are not printing star
spangled editorials about Uncle Sans
glorious war in the Philippines. In
fact, they are preserving an eloquent
mumness on that ubject-Bingham-
ton On. W Leader.
a 81. 600, 900, 600 copper trust and
a $4,000, 600 trust in knit goods are the
latest additions to the list of monop-
olies that has grown so rapidly under
McKinleyism. As the Scripture says:
"And after that-the Judgment. -

Instead of taking a sensible view
of the beef controversy, Gen. Alger has
behaved, even from his own standpoint,
in most injudicious manner. IF the
beef was bad. then | am incompetent:
therefore the beef must have been good"
this, or something like it. appears TO
have been the unpublished reasoning of
the Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.
The announcements Of alleged
wage raising in the north and north
westwould be more agreeable were they
free from the suspicion of being part of
the Hanna-McKinley prosperity prom
ising programme, as were similar an
pouncements about the time the pres
ent administration began its career OF
public plunder.-Richmond Dispatch.
The party of Mckinley and Han
ma. since its accession to power, has
studiously avoided every species OF tax
alton that would touch the pockets Of
wealth, because il owes its success TO
this class, and has imposed the burden
