The First Governor.

The statements made in SO many dis
patches giving reports of the death of
Ex-Governor Pierpont. that he was the
first governor OF West Virginia" are
historical inaccuracies. Governor Pier
pont was rightfully entitled to the dis
tinction or being recognized as the
father of West Virginia, and was at the
front not only in the agitation but the
organization of the state by the people
Of the western counties. No man con-
tributed more than he did, none was
more courageous in that great crisis,
and when the people of what is now
this state organized the union or re-
stored government of Virginia, and
chose him as the governor, he was the
Union governor Of the entire state OF
Virginia, then including what is now
West Virginia, and his government
was recognized at Washington.
The capital was retained at Wheeling,
the seeding government maintaining
its headquarters at Richmond. In the
meantime the movement for the division
OF the state, and forming the separate
state of West Virginia went on at
Wheeling, with Pierpont, and the other
patriotic leaders In the work as the ac-
tive promoters, and when, finally, the
counties composing West Virginia or
ganized and were admitted to the Union
us a separate state. Governor Picrpont,
happy over the contamination of what
he and his compeers had labored for
years so hard for and risked their lives
still as Union governor OF the old state,
transferred his headquarters to old Vir-
ginia territory. and Wheeling became
the capital of the new state, with Hon.
"A. I. Foreman as the first governor.
Governor Picrpont remained the
Union governor of Virginia for three
years after the war closed. and then re-
turned to the new state he had helped
TO create and OF which, before It's for
NAL admission and recognition by Con-
gress, he was provisional governor. for
until Lincoln signed that act, West Vir-
gina. though organized, was still techni-
cally part of the old state.
The Intelligcncer refers to this his
tory, for the benefit Of many OF our cx-
changes inside and outside Of the state
who are somewhat confused in their
statements. Governor Plerpont will
live in history as the father of West
Virginiu, and West Virsinians will al
ways revere him as such. along with the
remainder Of that noble band. but the
first governor after 1t became q state,
and who succeeded him In authority
under the new organization. was an
other one OF the fathers. Arthur I. Bore
man, who died few years since.

by Representatives of the four classes
into which the society is divided and
consisted of recltations, essays, songs

visitors were present and all seemed 10
enjoy the performance. Instrumental
solos were given by Mamie carp, Lille

Many parents visited the public exer-
c!ses at Richie school, which took place
as follows: Wednesday morning, the
lower floor at the annex building and
the second floor In the afternoon. On
Thursday forenoon the lower floor OF
main building entertained all parents
and friends who came 10 hear them.
while In the afternoon exercises were
held in the rooms of the second floor
and rooms and 10 of the third floor. On
Friday morning the grammar room pu-
pills gave literary and musical enter
tainmelt. In all the rooms on Wednes-
day and Thursday some school work
was shown. Many parents visited the
school during the three days and they
seemed fully as much pleased to see the
school work Dis they were 10 hear the
literary and musical part of the eXer-
cises. 1t Is mistake to think that par
ents do not wish to be shown on these
days what their children are being
taught during the week. These public
days should not be permitted to degen-
crate into-a mere show. Let the teacher
not only be able OF give samples of her
every day work. but let her feel glad to
have the opportunity Of doing so. Par
entS very often act as though they did
not appreciate the work OF the teacher
and all this arises from the fact that
they do not know what the teacher. Is
doing.

SCHOOL MELANGE,

In the great Kaleidoscope OF life what
varied pictures present themselves, and
the primary teacher as She views the
motley group of fifty pupils that come
to her on the first day OF school has as
varied a picture as that presented by
the finest kaleidoscope. From this var
led mass OF little human beings she is
to develop the true man and the true
woman. She Is to do this not as the
machine teacher would do by placing
them In the same mould and at once
bending their little minds until they
become Just alike, but by having be-
fore her the perfect model, she adapts
her instruction to the different natures,
until she leads them gently into the
path that eurely leads them to true
manhood and true womanhood. This Is
being done by the true teacher all the
time. Our schools are better than 4
standing army US far us the nations
defense Is concerned, because the true
defense OF nation is not In the num-
Der OF Its military force. but in the
character Of Its men and women.
1t is said that death loves shining
mark" and 1t was never more truly
shown than in the case OF little Thomas
e. Hammond, whose tragic death took
place on Monday evening last, his life
being crushed out under the elevator at
Niebergall's Ice plant. We are perhaps,
naturally inclined to praise the virtues
ana condonc the faults Of dead loved
ones, but here was boy who was the
IDOL or his parents, and was loved by
all his schoolmates. His teachers have
nothing but words OF praise to speak Of
him. He had talent for drawing and
he left quite Il number OF drawings on
the blackboard, which will be preserved
In memory of the artist. His ROOM
mates sent beautiful floral offering, as
did also the boys of room No. 5, with
whom he sang as 4 sailor boy" at the
last school entertainment. A solemn
hush seemed to rest over all the boys of
Richie annex, especially those OF room
No. 6, Of which he was q pupil. Tommy
will long be remembered by all who
knew him and the bereaved father and
mother have the heartfelt sympathies of
principal, teachers and pupils of the en-
tire Eighth ward school, 1t Is hard to
understand why such things must hap
pen, but happen they will and do.
Truly, the saying that 1--WE know not
what day may bring FORTH" Is verified
III this sad bereavement.

WOOL MARKEr.

Boston. Aug. 30.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter Will say tomorrow:
The past week has been the quietest ex-
perienced in the wool market for several
months, actual sales ag3resating less
than 100000 pounds. That Consumers are
still interested in wool however, is shown
by the presence in the market OF several
manufacturers. including one or two of
the largest in the country, who have
thoroughly tested the situation. but hold
ers could not be induced 10 make con-
cessiohs. The consumption Of wool in this
country is greater than for many years,
II, indeed, II has ever been surpassed in
amount, and the needs OF the mills must
be supplied from domestic WOODS unless
the latter advance to a point which rem
ders importations possible Territory
woods, however, are still far below the
level of prices at which importations of
woods in competition with them are ad-
missible. The sales of the week in Bcs-
ton amounted to 3475.OO pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making total
OF 3,9T5.0o0, against a total of 1905 600 for
the previous week. and a total CT 1000. 200
for the corresponding week last year.
Sales since January 1. 1899. amount to 1884,
$4,000 pounds, against rs, 71T,510 pounds last
year at this time

REPRESENTATIVE SALES.
SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Hugh Griffith Of Belle PLANE was a
shipper Of mixed car of cattle and hogS,
the latter being mediums and selling at
the top of the day. The cattle were
stockers and brought good price for tie
grade.
A. p. Johnson of Elmer was a shipper of
hogs of medium grade on the late mar
ket.
The cattle trading yesterday was lin
tied to a few scattering stockers which
Uame in with a mixed car, and the sale
was made some time after the close. They
were stockers of fair quality and sold on
private sale after the open market had
closed.
The day yesterday at the bold plant was
about an average for the days Of late.
there being the usual heavy express and
3obbing line sent out and the straight con-
tract cars also we'll represented. There
was also a large line OF orders receievd
for the several cuts and staples for imme-
date shipment.
Provisions yesterday were inclined to-
ward loyer prices. Beyond a moderate
amount OF changing from September to
December. there was little doing. Cash
lard closed az cents of at $50, and cash
ribs of 2is cents. at $5.15.
There were quite a number Of visitors
at the Dold packing house yesterday.
mostly from out of town, who had heard
Of the well regulated system OF the plant
and took the occasion to visit and see.
They ali spoke OF the cleanliness all
through the various departments, as vel;
Hs the courteous and accommodating
manner Of the several heads OF depart
mentS. Among those present yesterday
were Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Jones Of PopCa
City. late OF Wichita; Miss Alma Baldwin
OF Kansas City, and ]. Elmer Reece OF
this city.
II. F. Williamson OF Pratt was a ship
per Of a car of feeders which after feed
and rest in transit were reloaded for their
destination by contract.
The Chicago Times-Herald says: There
has been an advance in leaf lard within
a week Of about five-eighths cent a pound
and an advance in neutral of almost one
cent a pound Oleo oil has advanced lac

HOGS 60 DOWN
Light Supply and Trading
Very Dull
TOPS REST ON S427 ~
No Cattle Market From Want
of Stock.
TOPS REST ON s427 1-2

The local hog market yesterday was
quoted as weak to cents lower, with
a lessened supply and trading duh and
inactive. Steady. slow and cents lower
were the quotations sent out on the early
reports Of about all the western mar
kets, and this point from want Of desir-
able hogs and enough of them. went lower
also In sympathy with the rest. There
was a feeling predominant among the
stock interests yesterday, both buyers and
commission firms. that the better showing
OF Tuesday might be maintained and a
continuing Of the good supply be kept up.
The falling of yesterday from this hope
full view very naturally demoralized the
market tone and weakness, along with
the lower tendency Of other POINTS result
ID. This market did all It could and all
IL was expected to, to maintain prices, but
the light slim supply and the poor grade
Of hogs acted as an influence to depress
prices. There was a very light run of
wagon hogs, and these were Of only ordi-
nary grade at the best, and nevertheless
they went at once at as good figures as
they could command, the Dold Packing
company taking them at market prices.
There was a good live demand for fat
butcher hogs and even mediums and me-
dunn lights would hav been bought at
once had they appeared. AS It WAS, all
the offerings were absorbed and the pens
were empty on the close save for some
scattering small lots of cutouts and
sorts. Again the receipts fell away yes
terday at all the market points, ard Chi
cago was several thousand below the esti-
mate. This is a discouTa ging feature of
the hog situation right now, and has no
little to do with the stagnated market
quotations and the weakness of the tone.
There Is lack OF hogs arriving and what
come in are Of a poor mixed grade gener-
ally, rough packers and habitat lights
being too much in prominence and desira-
BILE weights very rare. So far, however,
the strength of the Wichita market has
been well sustained, as evidenced by the
trade on Tuesday, when a larger run Of
hogs was present and the prices were
maintained. The demand is good and the
prices paid are firm beyond the ratio of
provision products, and yet the hogs are
not in evidence. Conditions are right now
favorable to the shipper and the advant-
age is with them.
