TO EvADE HIS OWN LAW.
George Clark Goes to the Territory on
a Fishing Excursion.

During the legislature George A.
Clark, secretary of state, prepared and
lobbied through a law governing the
fishing seasons in Kansas and prOvid-

The law is stringent and is a. measure
of protection to the fish in kansas
streams.
Mr. Clark by this law is prevented
from going fishing in Kansas SO he has
gone to the Indian Territory on a fish
ing expedition and thereby escapes vio-
lations of the law which he had passed
for Kansas.

MEDICAL MONOPOLY,

Zach Shed bearded the lion in
its den on Thursday evening in
the senate chamber. His speech
against unjust medical legislation
giving a monopoly of healing TO .
few old fossils was one of the most
brilliant flights of oratory ever de.
livered in Colorado. He easily
vanquished the best medical and
legal talent in the state by "a tor
rent OF the keenest -pigrams aud
most logical, demonstrative argu-
ments that have ever overwhelmed
hypocrisy and chicanery. He
brought the audience to their feet
time aud again to applaud the
beauty of his rhetoric and the
penetrating force of his satire.
DIR. Eskridge withered and left the
chamber. Shed laid the bill itself
bare before the committee and tho
audience, and il ever battle WAS
won fairly and honestly it was won
in this contest by Zach Shed and
other representatives of the Colo

WHAT is the matter with the

goods cheaper than the small re-.

fault with the department stores,

To Be Reopened.

The Continental, the famous old hotel
which has been closed for the past week,
will soon be re-opened again. This, Mar
tinsburgers will be glad to hear, for it is a
certain fact that the town can support
two frst-class hotels. All the goods and
furniture of the hotel, owned by Mrs.
Linch, has been sold and Messrs. David
M. and Joseph H. Shaffer, the owners of
the building, will in a few days begin
work upon repairs on the building. The
entire building will be renovated and put
in condition for a frst-class hotel. The
Messrs. Shaffer are now negotiating with
at least a half-dozen hotel men, who are
anxious to lease the building. The own
ers are now considering the applications
and the hotel will soon be leased. They
intend leasing it to no one but an expert
enced hotel man, one whom they know
will succeed.
The report that the owners would run
the hotel themselves is incorrect.

frightened at Mr.. Bishops horseless car
rage and ran off.
The hitching strap Vas too strong for
the horse, and he, pulling the weight
over the ground started down Maple
avenue toward Martin street and was
caught near the corner of Martin street.
The horses front legs were badly cut and
bruised by the weight striking them and
seven spokes were broken Out of the left
rear wheel.
The horse of DIR. J. B. Snodgrass,
while standing in front of the drug store
Of Mr.. c. p. Matthai, scared at the horse
less carriage and ran off. He was caught
near the public square and no damage was
done.
The horse hitched to the Adams Ex-
press wagon also scared at the carriage
while standing on the street, but was
caught before he had gone far.

Census Supervisors.

Two of the four appointments of super
visors of census for West Virginia have
been practically agreed upon, these Of the
Second and Fourth districts, respectively,
as they are recognized Congressionally.
1t is understood that Mr.. L. c. Powell,
editor of the West Virginian at Fairmont
is the choice for the Second district, and
Mr.. Thomas A. Brown, of Elizabeth,
Writ county, for the Fourth district. The
choice in the Third Congressional district
it is said, lies between Editor A. Old
field, Of Mcdowell county, and MIR. Z. l..
Dunn,of Red Sulphur Springs. Il cannot
be now predicted which will win nor
whether a third man is likely to be named
as a compromise.
The selection in the First district, it is
said, will not be made for several weeks
owing to the difficulty in deciding among
the aspirants.
AS previously stated West Virginia
will be entitled, under the apportionment,
to four supervisors. Each of these will
receive $1,000 in compensation, and their
active duties will owe a period o. less
than four months.
