FELT HE WAS STRONG.

A brilliant young man thirty years
ago, was beginning to form the habit
of indulgence in the wine cup. He
knew that other men were drunkards
but he felt that he himself was strong
and would never be anything but
clear-eyed and strong CT nerve and
firm of flesh. The years went by.
He has had honor and position. He
has become a drunkard, with it all,
and his honors have been nothing.
Whiskey and wine have done for him
what they have done for all the rest,
and what they will do for all who are
foolish enough to be deceived by them.
II he could he would deter young men
from following in his footsteps, but
he will not influence them. They will
think Of him simply as an old drunkard
and say that he was a fool not to have
controlled himself little. And they
will follow him on to death. Herald

DYNAMITE.
Buckwheat Bids Fair to Be-
come an awful Engine OF
Destruction.

Preston County Shaken from Center to
Circumstances. People actually fear
to Indulge in their Chief Deiicacy.-
Deacon Browns Crafty Scheme to
Corner the Buckwheat Market.-Ter-
rible Dangers Ahead OF Those who
Eat the erstwhile gentle Buckwheat
Cake.
From the Argus we learn how
narrowly a terrible tragedy was
averted at Kingwood recently. Had
the dynamite in question been
ground up and eaten by the un-
Sophisticated denizens of the buck
wheat belt what awful things might
have happened Eaters OF buck
wheat may be developed into explo-
sives alongside of which the deadly
torpedo would be as gentle as COO
ing dove.
The story, however, may be fab
rication of Deacon Brown who is en-
deavoring to get corner on the
buckwheat crop and is trying to in
still fear of the seductive delicacy
into the trusting hearts OF his read
ers who make up the bulk Of the
consumers of Preston's chief prod
uct. The story IS as follows as de
tailed by the Argus:
mot long since the big steam mill
here had a narrow escape from serious
damage and perhaps loss of life
among the operators. In screening
some buckwheat stick If dyna-
mite was found in the screenings
that had been in the buekwheat. as
they run all wheat and buckwheat
through the smut machine the sleeves
of course catch anything of that
kind, sc that there would be no dan
ger of an explosion, but If it had
been in some grain to be ground for
chop or feed, it would not have been
screened and would have gone into
the machinery and caused an Elk
plosion. The mill managers know
whose grain it was and IS it was
brought in by a farmer who is a
road boss they figured it out that
he had been using the dynamite
working the roads and had put it
away in his granary and in some
careless manner allowed it to get in
the grain, or perhaps the rats car
ried it into the grain bin or knocked
it down into it someway. 1t was not
thought for moment that the man
who brought it did it on purpose or
that any one else would be mean
enough to try to wreck the mill and
perhaps hurt some of the employees.
People should be more careful hand
ling such dangerous stuff and we
don't want any more of it brought
to the mill here.

lie Except in Ohio County Ward
EN- of fhe Peniteneiary to Hereafter
Act as Executi0ner-Few People to
Be Present An Excellent Act Which
VIII Likely Pass the Senate.
The regular gust Of laws good and
bad has begun TO come out in the leg
islature. The first bill TO go through
the house was No. 5, introduced by
Mr.. Darst OF Ohio county, and pro-
viding for the execution of all death
sentences at the Moundsville peniten-
tiary. The object of the bill is to do
away with public hangings which
have recently disgraced the state. In
all counties of the state except Ohio,
all hangings have been public. Ohio
county is the only one where the pro-
prieties have been observed, and exc
cutions conducted privately instead OF
being made the occasion for public
holiday.
The bill amends sections 8 and 10
of chapter 160 of the Code by requir-
ing that the mode of execution shall
be by hanging blythe neck, and the war
den of the penitentiary or a deputy
warden shall be the executioner.
Such punishment shall be inflicted
only within the walls of the West
Virginia penitentiary within an en-
closure to be prepared for that pur-
pose under the direction Of the war
den and the board of directors Of the
penitentiary and shall be so construct
ed as to exclude public view.
There shall be present at the execu-
tion besides the officers of the court
such other officers and guards and as
sistants as the officer executing the
sentence shall see fit. He shall re-
quest the presence Of the prosecuting
attorney in said court, the clerk there
of, and twelve respectable citizens, in
Guiding a physician and surgeon and
such representatives, of the press as ne
may desire. Others allowed to be
present are the counsel Of the convict
ministers of the gospel and con
vict's relatives so far as is prudent.
! The warden shall receive $75 for each
execution to be paid out of any fund
appropriated for the penitentiary.
The remainder of the bill is the same
as the present law. The act is to
take effect and be in force on and
after next July l, but does not apply
to sentences of death made previous
to that time.

LIEUT. HoBsoN's TEMPERANCE EDu-
CATION.
At the recent nearing before the
House Committee on Territories, Mrs.
Mary II. Hunt, OF Boston, speaking of
the good results that had come from
the enactment OF other laws in behalf
Of which she had at other times ap.
peared before Congress, related an in
teresting incident in regard to Lieut..
Hobson. She said that after the adop-
tion of a course of systematic instruc-
tion in temperance hygiene and phys
iology in the Naval Academy at An
napolis in accordance with law pass
ed through her instrumentality she
visited that institution on the occa-
sion of the graduation OF class, and
heard Hobson, who was member Of
the class discuss as part Of his grad
uating examination the damaging eff
feet of alcohol on the human system,
and particularly its relation TO the per-
Torrance of a sailors duty under cir
cumstances of exposure. To the
knowledge gained by the instruction
given at the Naval Academy she at
tribtted the fact that when the last
officer of the Texas going over the rail
of the doomed Merrimac at two
o'clock on the morning of Hobson's
great exploit turning asked him.
ssShall we send you some breakfast,
old man?' Hobson replied: mo, we
don't care for breakfast but send us
plenty of''--not whiskey, as any officer
of the navy would have requested
twenty years ago but coffee" Mrs.
Hunt attributed the clearheaded ac-
tivity that made the desperate yen-
ture of Hobson and his companions
successful to the absence of liquor.
