A few days ago couple of gentle
men struck Ripley looking for a vic
tim. tine, the elder, a bushy whis-
kered Individual sought out Eaoch
Stats and Informed him that many
years ago he and one Henry stats
staked OFT a mine which after working
a while they abandoned as worthless,
Henry Stats in due course Of time
died without any children. Later on
our visitor took another fellow. his
companion, sandy mustached, hare
tipped brother, as a partner aud they
discovered that The abandoned mine
was bonanza. The chief fugleman
waxed eloquent in telling Mr.. stats
OF the fabulous quantities OF gold they
had mined and OF the millions which
IL would bring. But they were honest
folks. They wanted To lind Henry
Stats brother that they might en-
rich him, Neither OF the miners
could read or keep books and they
wanted someone togo back with them
and straighten out their books. lnci-
dentally they had with them Il few
bars of gold they were taking TO New
York TO have minted into double ea-
giles and as Enoeh very much resemble
ed their dead friend Henry, and GER
tanly must be relative, they would
show the bars brick--to him. The
balance of the story is somewhat
old one Ii is safe Co say that Judge
Stats did not invest and that the
two brethren hied away on the train
seeking some more credulous person.

Best Means of Preparation.

An appropriation bill, which went
through one branch Of Congress in
creases from 500, 900 TO $1,000, 900
the amount to be devoted to the arm
ing and equipment Of the National
Guard of the several states. No data
are at hand to determine whether this
sum will be sufficient to provide these
citizen soldiers with modern rifles, but
the increase appears to be recogni-
tion TO some extent Of the theory that
the general government would consult
its best interests by seeing to it that
the various State guards are at all
times reasonably equipped for service.
which means especially that they
should be sufficiently well armed to
meet with any modern foe, One of
the principal duties of the soldier is
to shoot. Ii he cannot shoot his other
soldierly qualities will not amount to
much. La order to shoot he must
have a gun and know how to handle
it, with the minimum of safety to
himself and the maximum of danger
to the enemy.

The Reason Why.

1.-The reason why Dr. d. b. Purin-
ton is the fittest man in the United
States for President OF our University
said prominent citizen to-day sis
first because he is West Virginian
born and bred on the soil. Secondly
because he was educated and grew up
in the University and knows all about
ii. Thirdly, because he served a term
as acting President and was a success.
Fourthly, because he knows our peo-
pie and is known OF them and would
not be an experiment. Filthy, be-
cause he is gentleman and scholar
that every one can approach ard re-
spect. In other words 1t would not
be selecting pig in poke. !" All
of which Is true.

Elected all Negroes.

The town election at Lock Lynn
Heights, Md, excited almost no at
tention whatever this week until it
was over. There was but one ticket
in the field and the people took SO
little interest in the election that
very few voted. Some wags, for a
joke, and partly to settle some old
scores, quietly voted for a lot of ne
groes for town officers and the whole
community was chagrined to find,
when the votes were counted, that
every man elected was a negro Not
a white man got an office. 1t is safe
to say that hereafter full vote will
be polled at every election held
there.

WORKED As BOOK AGENTS
West Virginia Mountaineers Said to
Have Been Bnneoed by Pitisburg
Confidence Men.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, May 2i.-~-
Green goods men have been operating
in the mountainous portions Of this
State again, according to reports re-
ceived from parties who have been In
yesting their hard earned cash with
the gentry. Several OF the fraternity
claiming TO live at Pittsburp have
been circulating among the forny-
handed mountaineers disguised ais
book agents. The Smoky City crooks
were supplied with an abundance OF
good money that they showed as
samples OF the goods they sold at their
place OF business In Pennsylvania.
Several good farmers were induced to
part with some OF their wealth for
worthless paper.
Albert Swart, we'll to-do resident
OF Uppe, Big Sandy Valley, Is one Of
the men that told his tale OF woe last
night while on bis way home from
Pittsbnrg. Only a few hundred dol
lars was taken along to exchange for
the counterfeit bills, and OF this Swart
had invested 800. In the city the
mountain men were met and given
handsome reception previous to the
"business session. The Big Sandy
ians were shown the sights OF the
town, dined and wined, and when
the satchel with the supposed bogus
Doodle was placed In their hands they
left for the depot with light hearts.
At Wheeling the fraud was discov-
cred when Swart's companions opened
the grip. Saw dust, brown paper and
two 81 bills were all 1t contained.
The dupes decided to say nothing of
their experience, but Swart got
wrathy over the matter and let the
affair out.

Game.

Western Trip series Of Successes =
They win from Muskingnm, ohio
State, Denison and Ohio Wesleyan
Make more Hits, more runs aud
Fewer Errors than their opponents.
The base ball team came home on
Sunday afternoon. They had met
four Of the best teams in Ohio and
had won every game that was played.
These had not been the result OF luck
but of good hard work ia every con-
test. The last game was with Ohio
Wesleyan University at Delaware.
The score was | t to II.
Dent was in the box for the home
boys and was touched up to some ex-
tent. He pluekily held on however
and the game was won out. The
ground was bad and several runs were
made on this account. Fourteen and
thirteen hits were the totals in this
department. and there were seven err
rors each. This was the greatest
number OF errors made by the boys
while they were away
During the trip w. V. q. made 81
hits ana their opponents about half
that many. She made 81 runs and
their opponents made 25. To every
game there was a decisive difference
in our favor in every department.
The work has been very satisfactory
TO every one. On the trip just ended
the boys played gilt edged game ev-
cry day except the last. They were
then tired out and sleepy and not at
all in condition to play but they held
on with grim determination and
finally won out.
A celebration is being organized
for tonight. The students will get
out and have nice time to signalize
the glorious string of victories that
their representatives have brought
back with them. 1t is To be hoped
that the thuse will be done orderly
and that there will be nothing occur
that will cause regret after it is over.
