MIR. LaFoLLErrE's ANNOUNCEMENT

The announcement of Hon. Rob
ert M. LaFollette, Of Madison,
that he would be a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
will doubtless cause many changes
in the political conditions through
out the state. The TINES does not
care to discuss the situation just at
this time. Local conditions often
times largely govern the course open
to a newspaper, and as this paper
intends to activity participate in the
polite affairs of the nation down
the line and through the whole politi-
cal calendar, we defer comment on
the governorship for the present,
bute"will be there plenty" when the
time arrives. Mr.. LaFollette has
many frienGs throughout this part
of the state. His announcement is
as follows:
[ shall be @ candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
before the convention to be held
August 9Th, 1900.
The decision has been reached
after most thorough investigation
and upon such advice and counsel,
as assures me that it is the wish of
a majority of the Republicans Of
Wisco nsin. This is in no sense
personal, but due to the fact that
for years | have advocated through
out the state, and with others have
labored to secure the reorganization
of certain principles as just, equit-
able and Republican.
These principles are embodied in
the last state platform, and became
the creed of the Republican party in
Wisconsin. Progress was made by
the last legislature toward their
6DacJHouU lulO law. Iue WOfh ID
one of magnitude and complexity.
aud it is not a matter of surprise
that it could not be completed in q
single session. These principles,
and the purposes Of those who adj
vance them, will ultimately be &C
cepted as fair and just by those who
have opposed them. Every citizen,
and the representative of every bust
ness interest, must in the end agree
that all should share equally in the
: benefits OF government aud each
should bear justly porportionate
share Of its burdens. No Legitimate

Yerdiot set Aside.

In the case of N. p. Armstrong
VS.. x. g M. Railway Co, for dam.
ages for filling up her landing on
the Kanawha river, in which the
Jury gave verdict in favor of Mrs.
Armstrong for $500 90, Hon. ii. r..
Howard, special Judge to try the
case, on yesterday heard the argu-
ments of counsel on both sides on
the motion of the defendant in ar
rest of judgment, and also to set
aside the verdict and grant new
trial. Judge Howard overruled
the motion in arrest of judgment,
but sustained the other motion,
thus setting aside the verdict of
the jury and granting a new trial
upon the payment of costs by the
defendant. This case has attracted
considerable attention owing tothe
novelty of the questions raised, it
being the first case of the kind ever
brought in this State or old Vir-
GINA, SO far as any of the reports
of the Supreme Court show. Hons.
g. e. Hogg and Geo. Poffenbarger
were for the plaintiff and Hons
Geo. e. Price and Geo. S. Couch
were for the defendant.

A mechanic can take little pieoe

one hundred dollars-thet's skill.
Rockefeller can take a small strip
of paper and write a few words on
it and make it worth ten million
dollars-that's capital. England
and Americas Kipling can take a
scrap of paper and write some sem
tenoes and sell it for sixty five
thousand dollars-thats genius.
A lady can wear a seventy five cent
hat and look real sweet, but prefers

The Tyron Matter.

Gallipolis Tribune, Friday.
Mrs. Tyron, wife of the man ar
rested under the name of Rev,
VIM. Tyron and taken to Chilli
Gothic charged with forgery, and
spoken of as being at the Ecker
House, Wednesday, returned to
Ashton Wednesday evening, and
prepared herself to go to Chilli
Gothic, came up this morning and
took the 10 O'Clock train for that
place to get at the bottom of facts
in the matter. We expect to see
her return in company with her
husband for the whole affair is like
candle, the longer it burns the
shorter it grows. The Post has a
dispatch this morning from Chilli
Gothic saying, that when the pris-
oner was brought thore, the people
were surprised to find him man
known there as Rev. Chas. O'Shay
who appeared in that locality sew
eraI years ago as travelling evan
gelist. One night while meeting
was ia progress O'Shay was de-
nounced by one of the elders, when
O'Sbay demanded evidence. Then
q woman closely yelled walked up
the aisle and disclosing the features
of mulatto announced that she
was O'Shay's wife and he had de-
serted her. O'Shay was dismissed
and the woman tried to get a di-
vorce and failed. The mon who
arrested him here thought that he
was the man wanted in Utah for
the crime of numbering his children,
until they saw him. His picture,
his hand write and his size and
description did not correspond at
all. AS precaution, however,
they held and took him back with
them to answer some minor charges,
which are said to be that farmers
and others had given him small
amounts of money to purchase
whiskey. He had the whiskey
charged, it is said, and kept the
money, and perhaps he can explain
this. The consenus of opinion
here is, that he is sort of adven-
turer, probably been mixed up with
some woman unlawfully and that it
will be found, that he is nothing
more than an educated, adventu-
rous dead beat of the better GLASS.
His trial there, however, will de-
velop whether he was worth a
newspaper sensation or not. His
wife has faith that all will turn out
we'll. If he is criminal she wants
to know it, and will have nothing
moro to do with him.

MANY Years as Sheriff.

Many Years as Sheriff.
ripley, w. VA, May 1O-John
M Greer, familiarly known as
sUnole John" one of the oldest,
wealthiest and most highly respect
ed citizens of this county, died at
his home here Wednesday morning
at 1920 O'Clock, of heart disease,
after an illness of two or three
weeks duration, aged about so
years.
He had been an active business
man his entire life, having been
the oldest of quite large family
whose father died when he was
about 10 years old. The care of
the family fell upon him at that
time. Not only was he father to
his own brothers aud sisters but to
hundreds of poor persons whom
misfortune had attacked and who
applied to "Unole John" and were
not turned away empty handed.
He had served two or three
terms as sheriff of the county, and
was the nominee of the democrats
!. Fey years ago, but was defeated
by Sheriff Shinn. He was an ao-
tive candidate up to the beginning
of his last illness for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the same
office this year declaring that it
was the ambition of his life to
serve the people again as sheriff.
His wife, and only son, D. W..
Greer, and several grandchildren
survive him, for all of whom he
literally provided from his extern
tensiye estate.

The ancients believed that rheu-
matism was the work of demon
within man. Any one who has
had an attack of sciatic or inham-
matory rheumatism will agree that
the infiiction is demoniao enough
to warrant the belief. It has never
been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast out demons,
but it will cure rheumatism, and
hundreds bear testimony to the
truth of this statement. One APP
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times it's cost.

reads as follows: "The proper place
for postage stamp on mail matter
is the upper right hand corner of
the addressed sido. This facilitates
cancellation and distribution, and
insures prompt and proper treat
ment throughout the service.
Stamps placed elsewhere are liable
to be overlooked, and the matter
mistreated as unpaid, or otherwise,
and perhaps delayed in dispatch;
therefore, unless impracticable,
stamps should be fixed on tho face
of all mail matter. Postmasters
should advise patrons that the de-
