immortal IL.

To the Editor of the Register.
Strive are ignorant of the fact as
to who gave the Young Mems Progress
sive Club that most BETTING and hon
orable title, but we accept the title in
which you baptize the child, even if
you did wait until it was over a year
old. Immortal "-exempt from death
We are not dead, though we have been
assaulted with intent to kill, and many
of our enemies at the time thought we
were dead, and truly at that time we
had to gasp for breath, but being i'm
mortal we could not die. Since God
reigns in our government and we still
live to see when it is done as openly as
was done on the oath of May in Clay
district, we live to see the humiliating
condition in which we are placed.
When ten men with one stroke dis
franchise so lifelong Republicans in
Clay district and the main ones who
are guilty of that objectionable crime,
are those who are sucking the city and
county teat, eating financial hay from
Uncle Sans crib, and others are trying
to get there just the same.
We live to resent slur from any Re-
publican on our manhood and patriot
ism. There are few who know too
well that the grand old party cannot
win in West Virginia unless the negro
votes solid and we wanted to be solid
at the Clay district convention
but we were prevented. Then we are
told that I'VE want Offices" Well, IL
the votes gives you the loaf, you might
give US crumb now and then. We
live to condemn dishonesty, bribery
by money or whiskey. We live to
think, speak and act for ourselves.
We are as immortal as the party it,
self, and we consider 1t an insult for
you to say 20 US that we are traders
or Democrats, when We speak OF the
wrongs done US. Mr.. Bradley tried to
bring before the convention at Weston
the trouble that had existed at Clay
district and its wrongs, but he was
howled down when he attempted to
take up righteous cause. the chief OBJ
lection was because 1t was published in
the Wheeling Register. The reason
why 1t was published In the Register
was because the Intelligencer refused
to publish il, hence the Register was
asked TO publish il for US and We would
not be ungrateful for favors-it mat
tiers not from what source they come
We live to condemn the action of our
white brother Republicans in sending
men to the convention to represent US
who cannot read their names when
they see them printed In letters as big
as wagon wbea'

CAPT. emblem AND CO. : 6. :
HELD YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
On Fourteenth Street Near Chap
Iine--The Usual Large Crowd In
Attendance-The Second Success
sive Year OF Company sAn VIM
ming the Contest.

The annual competitive drill of the
Linsly Institute cadet corps was held
yesterday afternoon on Fourteenth
street, near Chapline, The usual large
crowd. composed chiefly of the fair
sex was in attendance to watch the
procedure of the contest for excel
lence in military tactics. The four
companies of the battalion drilled In
the following order: "A" company,
Capt Killmyer; &C" company, Capt
Emblem: ID" company, Capt. Some
born; and "B" company, Capt. Hand
Ian.
The judges were Lieut.. Morris.
Sergt. Chas. G. Dobbins and T. H.
Pollock.
The following manoeuvers were ex-
ecuted: Forward, halt and present
arms, fpurs left, left oblique, forward,
tours right, forward guide right, tours
right, column right, tours left, forward
guide right, right forward tours right,
right by twos, form tours left oblique,
tours left, backward guide right, pre-
sent arms, port arms. present arms.
order arms, shoulder arms, left turn,
unfix bayonets, load, aim, fire, order
arms, fix bayonets, four left column
left, tours right, present arms.
The drilling was all very close. Capt.
Killmyer's company. was the first out
The crowd seemed to take their nerve,
for the privates and on-commissioned
officers went to pieces, and before they
recovered themselves 1t was too late
to win. Capt Emblem was next ont.
His company was steadier from the
first. He also handled his men the
best OF any commander. Capt. Some
born's losses were for the most part in
individual mistakes of the men, espec-
tally in the manual Capt. Handlan's
company went all to pieces from the
start.
When the drill was finished the
judges retired to deliberate, and the
battalion executed dress parade.
The markings were based on a posi-
BILE 500, and the results were very
close, when the three standings for
each company were averaged. The
count resulted as follows: Capt EN-
blem, Ass; Capt. Somehow. 453; Capt.
Killmyer, 449; Capt. Handlan, 436.
The battalion was brought to atten-
ton and the result announced. The
winning company was moved forward
and stood at present arms while Miss
Helen Smith of South Front street,
Island, made the presentation speech
and presented the battalion colors.
Capt. Emblem accepted the favor
gracefully. This is the second year
that the same company has succeeded
in excelling the others.
After the battalion had been dis
missed the winning company was
marched to Ziegenfelder's where re-
freshments were dispensed.

SENTIMENT rs FAVORABLE
To the County Subscription TO the
Proposed Waynesburg. Uniontown
and West Virginia Railroad.

To the County Subscription to tho
Proposed Waynesburg. Uniontown
and West Virginia Railroad.
A careful canvass of public sentiment
relative to Ohio county's subscription
to the proposed Waynesburg, Union
town and West Virginia railroad.
finds virtual unanimity of opinion
favorable to the ordinance which is to
be submitted to the voters next month.
I'VE can't have too many railroads, .
is a trite expression in which every
public spirited citizen will acquiesce.
When to this truth is added the fact
that the projectors of the new road sub
NIT sound business proposition to
the voters of Ohio county, 1t is readily
understood why little or no opposition
TO the road has developed. Those who
have felt sufficiently interested to look
into the proposition of the railroad
company, express the opinion that the
investment will be remunerative one,
not only directly but directly.
In other words, they express the
opinion that the operation of the new
roao will not only be of material ben
eft to Wheeling's manufacturing and
mercantile interests. and augment the
city population anQ wealth; but that
1t will be Dividend paying institution.
This belief is based upon the success of
similar enterprises inagurated where
where there were similar conditions.
The ordinance should be read by
every voter. 1t will be found that every
possible safeguard has been thrown
about Ohio county's subscription, and
that it contains provisions which are
an absolute guarantee against the
county becoming financially involved
through possible speculative schemes
by the projectors.
Manufacturers are favoring the sub
scription, because the operation Of the
new road means cheaper fuel. and a
lessening of the cost OF production.
Jobbers are favoring 1t because the
road will enlarge the market tributary
to Wheeling.

How the Burmese Make Fire.

One day a Burmese messenger
brought me note. While he was wait
ing for the reply, observed an object
something like boys popgun sus-
pended around his waist. On asking
what it was he showed me that it was
en- implement for producing fire. 1t
was a rude example of scientific in
strument employed by lecturers at
home to illustrate the production Of
heat by suddenly compressed air. A
piston fitted into the tube; the former
was followed Mt the lower end and
smeared with wax to receive q piece
of cotton or tinder. which when press
ed into it adhered. The tube was clos
ed at one end. Placing the piston at
the top OF the tube. with n smart blow
he struck it down and Immediately
withdrew it with the tinder on fire. tho
sudden compression of the air having
ignited it. | was so much struck with
the scientific ingenuity of this rude
implement that procured it from the
Burman and sent it to the Asiatic So

All might have gone well, and the
officers might have had their little fun,

all their movements and listening to
their whispered conversation.
When they withdrew, he went in and
told the members of the club all he had
heard and seen. The cadets at once
realized that 1t was all up with the
club, but they determined to have
laugh at the expense Of the officers.
Accordingly all arrangements were
made before the club adjourned that
night.
The next night the officers met as ar
ranged and crept stealthily down the
areaway and into the sixth division.

the whole thing was hoax, but never

over the pile Of coal. Opening the
door, they were greeted with glow of

they found the room deserted, but
there were the billiard table. an almost
untouched keg Of beer, several pounds
Of tobacco. some chairs and lastly a
note on the table. addressed to the Off
GERS on duty at West Point. The note
was to the effect that as the officers Of
