The meanest man has just been
discovered. He is product of the
State of Maine. This mans wife
while skating on pond, fell
through the ice. Her husband
pulled her out, and it was found
that trout had been caught in the
woman's hustle, and the husband,
delighted at the unexpected catch,
asked his wife to back into the
water and be "set over again" for
another fish. 1t is hardly neces.
sary to add that the good woman
declined.

Hugh Deigh has finally been re-
leased from Jail. He was arrested
in this city sometime in June
charged with being n tramp and
was sent to Jail to await the Sep
tember term of court. He was
then tried and his attorneys put
up the insanity plea and the jury
found he was not guilty of the
crime charged for the reason that
he was insane. He was then taken
before Probate Judge Lochary,
who, probably out of regard for the
jury that had tried him found that
he was insane.
He was then returned to Jail and
the Governor of West Virginia no.
tilted of the fact, as he was a resi-
dent of that state, but Governor
Atkinson was evidently anxious to
get rid of Hugh and declined to re-
ceive him, saying that he wanted
more evidence that he was really a
citizen of that commonwealth.
After three months spent in fur
nishing the Mountain State Execu-
tive with transcripts and testimony,
Judge Lochary finally convinced
him that Deigh belonged to his
state and last Friday an order was
received to have his trampship de-
livered to the West Virginia officers

For 16 months Mckinley has
been in full possession of Manila.
How has this kind-hesrted gentle
man impressed the people there
whom he wishes to assimilate with
the greatest benevolenceP Judg-
ing from the facts he has been en-
tirely misunderstood and must take
another 16 months to get the be-
nevolenoe of his intentions pound
ed into the stupid heads of the
Manila people. 1t is a regrettable
fact that after a year and a third of
possession McKinleysfinds the peo-
rle of Manila plotting ageneral
uprising and is forced to double
his garrison. This looks bad for
MoKinley's persuasive powers, and
makes the outlook for benevolent
assimilation" gloomier than ever.
Outside of Manila the same condi-
ton of affairs exists, Mckinley
has swept the country with fire
and sword; and the resultT 6uer-
lila warfare on the north, armies
against him in the field on the
south. What has this result of
turbulence, resistance, warfare and
discomfort cost? Not less $780,
100000 up to date. OF this sum
$3OO,OOO,OOO has already been ap-
propriated, and there are $5O,OcO,-
600 of debts yet to pay. This is
simply starter; what is to be the
limit? Untold millions will be OK
pended, but that is a slight matter
compared with the way in which
Mckinley is squandering the lives
of American citizens. The dark
and bloody record now contains
the names of /, 1923 dead Americans.
When will the slaughter cease. tho
expenditure of blood and treasure
end2 Not while Mckinley con-
tinues to dream of imperialism.

Messrs. j. w. Ish and Will E,
Deem, of Kanauga, while looking
over some old papers in the latter's
store and post office few days
ago, came across a copy of the
Weekly Register, dated January
7th, 1880, over twenty years ago.
1t was addressed to Henry Deem
who long since joined "the silent
majority" on the other side. What
changes have taken place since that
sheet issued from the old hand
press, brightand new! Therein we
notice the names of persons, then
hale and hearty, in the full enjoy
ment of life and health, now rest
ing in the silent cemetery. Since
that date Garfield, was made Presi-
dent and assassinated; Cleveland
served two terms, Harrison one
and Mckinley is moro than half
through his term as President
We have conquered the Spanish
nation and set Cuba free since
then, but to enumerate all the great
changes would indeed be task
Twenty years is good, while in
one sense, for we know it and feel
it. Yes, we are twenty years older
now than We were then.

Fortunes on Einger Nails.


Iu the days when fortune telling
was more in vogue than at present,
the shape and appearance of the
finger nails were looked upon as
having reference to ones destiny.
The nails were first rubbed over
with mixture of wax and SCOT, and
after being thus prepared, were
held SO that tho sunlight fell fully
upon them. On the thorny, trans
parent substance we're supposed to
appear signs and characters from
which the future could be interpret
ed. Persons, too, with certain de-
scriptions of nails we're supposed
possess certain characteristics.
Thus, man with red and spotted
nails was of fiery, hot tempered
disposition, whilst pale, colored
nails denoted a melancholy tenn
permanent. Ambitious and quarrel
some people were distinguished by
narrow nails. Lovers of knowledge
and liberal sentiment had round
shaped nails. Conceited, obstinate
and narrow-minded persons we're
possessed of small nails; lazy, indo-
lent individuals of heshy nails; and
those of q gentle, timid nature of
broad nails.
The flood prophets are again do
ing business; they predict that al
most any time, between now and
the middle of March, the Ohio
river will go on rampage, the like
of which has never been seen. 1t
will he noticed that these wise
acres give themselves considerable
latitude as TO time and it would
have been wise in them to have
given themselves as great latitude
as to tho magnitude of the river
This thing of pretending to be able
to foretell the time and eXtent of
high water is worse than nonsense.
The prediction is never anything
more than good or bad guess.
The happening of the unexpected
never worries people who are not
prepared for anything in partio-
ular.

SIXTH YEAR.
The Daily Register Enters Upon
It's sixth Year Tomorrow.

Five years ago, the Daily Regis
ter was launched upon the world.
At that time we had no idea that
we could keep it afloat for more
than thirty days. But, even to
have done only that, would have
been great feat in journalism in
Point Pleasant, and would have
fully carried out a declaration made
many years before that "the Regis
ter would live to see a daily
paper issued from its office"
But, Notwithstanding the dark
forebodings, the Daily Register has
been constant visitor to the homes
of our citizens, for five years to-day,
(Januury 18th, 19O0,) and it is
hoped and believed that it is now
on foundation, sufficiently strong,
for it's continuance for years to
come, and SO long as it will pay its
own way, SO long will it be con-
tinued. Ii has done this, 80 far,
and more too, but yet it is not
what one would call a money maker.
So far as subscriptions are concern
cd the good people of this town
have been good patrons, and today
there are but few homes in the town
but to what the Register is daily
visitor, and for all of which we are
deeply thankful.
But this cannot be said of all
our business people, for very few
of them have placed an advertise
ment with us, but to those who
have we are very grateful.
Advertising is to the advantage
of every business man, and brings
him big returns, and if the average
town merchant thinks that we are
going to "humble" ourselves to him
to get his advertisement, he is
greatly mistaken
The merchants of our neighbor-
ing city GaIIipolis, were quick to
see the advantage tho Daily Reg
lister was to them. and from the
beginning placed advertisements
in it's columns, and kept them
there, paying good, fair prices for
them, and these advertisements in
the Daily Register have brought
them large returns.
We hope for better things from
our business men during this COM
ing year.

Some several boards of school

Some several boards of school
trustees will try the experiment
this year of simply employing
teachers from month to month, on
probation as it we're, and it being
understood they would not be en-
ployed again unless satisfactory.
The plan is said to have worked
we'll. The complaint has often
been made that when teacher has
been employed for full term of
months, he is too apt to lose his in
terest in the pupils and think more
about the coming of the end of the
month and his stated salary.
There may be some truth in this
about some would be teachers, but
not all of them. we are very sure.
While the County Court is Civ
ing it's thought to a change in the
location of the public road back of
Point Pleasant, we are reminded
that there are many places where
changes are badly needed, among
which is section of the Sliding
Hill road, between Hartford and
New Haven. The travel from Gra-
ham to Mason City is great, and as
it is, the farmer can't get over this
road with an empty wagon three
months out of the year.

CALM AFTER CALAMITY
And Relief From a Bread

Salt Lake

SCoFIELD, Utah, May 4.-The aw-
full calm that follows great calamity
is settling on this community. But two
great acting motives are in the minds
of the people now-to see the dead as
deceptly buried as can be under such
unfsvorable circumstances. and to
raise great relief fund for the benefit
of the widows and orphans. About
$50, 900 has now been obtained by pub
lie subscription and much more will be
raised within the next few days.
A great sigh of relief went up from
the field at Scoield this morning
when il becams known that at last
enough collins had been secured in
which to bury the dead and that great
public cremation would be averted.
The funerals of most of the men will be
held tomorrow.
There is almost a bread famine in
camp today but ten thousand loaves of
bread and other provisions we're sent
