Youths Attempt to Wreck Train.

What might have been serious
wreck, involving the loss of a dozen
lives, was narrowly averted last Thurs
day by the keen sight of the engineer
on northbound passenger train No. %.
AS the engine passed through the deep
cuts just south of J. F. Engle's the en-
gineer saw some obstruction on the
track and quickly reversed the lever
and stopped his train few yards in
front of the danger. There right before
the engine was piled sufficient quantity
of rock and fence rails upon the track
to have thrown the train down an EN-.
bankment, which would have prob
ably destroyed many lives. The OBJ
struction being removed, the train
proceeded to Berryville, where Detect
i've Wright, Of the N. & W, Railway,
was informed by telegraph, who came
here promptly and instituted thor
ough investigation Of the matter. Sus-
picion pointed strongly to two small
colored boys, named "Cnarmer" Mitch
ell and Willie Jordan, aged about y
and 13. These boys were seen near
the track that morning, and with 9TH
er connecting evidence, Detective
Wright was led to believe that they
were the guilty parties. He did not
have them arrested owing to their
youthfulness and an urgent call to an
other point, but before leaving town
he promised the boys mothers that he
would not prosecute the case against
the little rascals, if they would admin
lister to them a sound cow-hiding pub
licly before some officer of the law.
The mothers consented, and were to
whip the boys Monday evening, but
they failed to make their appearance
in Berryville to mete out the punish
ment.-Clarke Courier.

A wELL-KNowN ministerial friend
of the REGISTER in one Of the interior
counties Of West Virginia writes us in
the following earnest way concerning
the political situation:
feel very much like taking an &C.
tive part in this years campaign,
though a minister, but of course am
compelled by false policy, as l think,
of the churches to remain silent. l
regard the presidential election this
fall as a most momentous crisis in our
country. 1t is simply the question as
to whether we shall assert our freedom
and individual liberty, or be made the
slaves of the powerful rich. Imper-
ialism is written on almost every fea-
ture of the present administration,
Notwithstanding their attempts to de-
ny and controvert it. If l were not
engaged in a calling that lays a
stronger claim to my efforts l should
certainly do some speech-making for
Bryan this fall. If the people do not
assert their independence now there is
no telling when they will have an
other opportunity. And the mistaken
corporations and trusts are simply lay
ing the foundation for a revolution
that will involve many of their own
blood in awful retribution, / am afraid

HERE is the cost to the taxpayers
of imperialism $930,000a day ST.
375 per hour to support this admin
istration in its schemes of conquest
and oppression of the people. And
many voters will march up to the
polls in November and vote to rivet
the shackles on their own feet. Is it
not time for those who have sold their
votes, or allowed themselves no thought
at all hitherto as to why they should
oppose the doings of the Republican
party, to give to these figures some
consideration ? 1t means for the tax
payer, and especially the farmer, who
now can scarcely get out of his land a
living over and above his enormous
taxes, that he must make still further
contribution to this enormous war fund
annually, There is no telling where
this policy will lead. Taxes will in
crease indefinitely, while the necessi-
ties of life will increase in price at the
same time. A vote for Mckinley this
fall is a vote to enslave the masses of
the people and to gradually enthrone
the few. The masses in many parts
of the country are now practically
owned by their employers, not able to
crook finger for fear of withdrawal
of support that is now meagerly given
to enable them to fill the pockets of
the already rich. Better think a
while before casting your vote this
fall.

The schools of the county are doing
good work. The supplying of suitable
school apparatus, such as, maps, physl-
illogical charts and globes, would add
much to the efficiency Of teaching IN
some districts. Middleway and kable-
town districts have supplied their
schools with these cOnveniences and
the lasting impressions made by their
use is quite perceptible
suggest TO the board of education IN
the remaining districts, that a little
money invested in these helps every
year would yield rich harvest to the
children.
Too many cases of hardness are re-
ported from some districts and | hope
teachers will inaugurate means to pre-
vent this the coming year. Many schools
report no cases of corporal punishment,
which speaks well for the pupils Of those
schools

The French adventurer who was a
captive among cannibals in Central
Africa for forty years, has decided to
write book, which will no doubt prove
interesting. We can sympathize with

which must have been as joyous as that
of man who finds himself suddenly re-
leased from the captivity of refractory
stomach, by that peerless remedy, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which has done
more to promote health than any other
in existence. This is the medicine to
take, if you are sufferer from dyspep-
