WEST POINT ToUGHS.

If there is any truth at all in the
assertion that Oscar l.. Booz died as
the result of brutal hazing which
he underwent, while a cadet in the
military academy at West Pollt.,
there is ample warrant for the lu-
vestigation of that institution. The
friends and relatives of Booz charge
that he was the victim Of the most
atrocious cruelty at the hands of his
fellow students and the New York
Sun is authority for the statement
that this much is unquestioned about
the sad affair:
Oscar L. Booz was admitted to the
military academy from Pennsylvania
on June 20, 1898. He came home
on Oct. 81, of the same year, having
voluntarily resigned The cause he
assigned was weak eyes; but he tod
his parents that the real reason was
injuries received at the hands of his
fellow cadets. He found that
great deal of fist fighting took place
among the cadets, and he had no de-
sire to engage in it. This made him
unpopular, so that he was called
Bibles" and subscription was
passed around in the academy to buy
him copy of the Holy Scripture.
Finally it was insisted that he should
have fight with a member of an
upper class, man much larger and
much stronger than himself. He
broke from the ring of students wheL
he met his antagonist, but was
dragged back and forced to drink
mixture which, he was afterwards
told, consisted of Worcestershire
sauce and red pepper and, he hal req
son to believe, Tabasco sauce. Some
of this mixture was thrown into his
eyes and injured his sight. Hot grease
was also poured on his bare feet and
a tooth knocked out His family
physician and specialists in this city
and Philadelphia discovered upon ex-
animation that the membrane OF his
throat had been blistered in some way
and that ulcers had developed there
on. Tuberculosis of the throat set
in and rom this the young man died
last Monday night He declined to
tell his father the names of the ca
diets who ill-treated him.
If the above is unquestioned tn,
congressional investigation of the
military academy cannot be under
taken too soon. The spirit of bully
ism seems to be rampant there. If
the facts are established as charged,
the guilty cadets should be punished
a sbefits :heir crime and such change
made in the management of the in
st1tut1On as will remove the necessity
for cadet being an individual OF
the bruiser type in order to hold his
own with his fellows.

ISOLATION that she may know that she
does not love in vain. Why give her
that consolation? For it is like a
sweet strip which contains poison.
A woman is naturally hopeful, and,
knowing that her love is returned.
she will refuse to give him up. On
the other hand, suppose he had not
spoken. OF course her pride would
have been hurt, but pride heals, and
then she would have forgotten ana
would have grown to love some other
man who would marry her and give
her the sort of a home every woman
should have and of which no man
has right to deprive her by substi-
tuting love which can lead to moth
ing but misery and anxiety.
There is priest in New York state
who has been preaching this to his
Pensioners. Father Owens is
brilliant and sympathetic man, with
broad and thorough knowledge of
human nature After witnessing
for some time the disasters among
mis- parishioners caused by these long
engagements this is what he has to
say on the subject:
Il have established a rule in nv
church against long courtships and
protracted engagements. They are
responsible more than anything else
for the increasing number of old
maids to be found everywhere and in
every class Of society today. The girl
who enters into long matrimonial
engagement jeopardizes every posi-.
BILE chance she has of marriage. Nine
out of ten, after she has spent the
best years Of her life waiting for her
lover to come and claim her, she is
left an old maid
There should be no excuse, and
there is no excuse for a long court
ship or long engagement. No
young man has the right to pay mark
ed attention to a young woman for
any length of time unless his inten-
lions are serious, and no young wo-
man has a right to accept those at
tentions for a very long period I'M
less she feels that she can say yes
when the supreme moment comes.
Then, too, that young man has no
right to offer himself to that young
woman unless he is in a position to
ask her to name the day, and that |
some time within the following six
months. Marriage is often called n
lottery, but when girl enters into a
long engagement she does not invest |
her stock of happiness in anything |
ever SO sure as lottery. 1t is more
as if she were to stake her last dol |
lar on horse race.
"The best years of the young |
woman's life are being wasted; the
years of her greatest physical attrac- |
tiveness. Every woman has tho God |
given right to look forward to some |
day becoming happy wife and
mother. l have a very poor opinion |
of the girl who does not indulge in |
day dreams of little arms twining
about her neck, Of soft baby hands |
nesting in her bosom. And it is en-
tirely right and wholesome that she |
should dream such dreams. Marriage
and maternity are her manifest des-
tiny, and courtship and betrothal, as
blazing the way to that destiny, can
not be too seriously considered"

In that county. 1t is the last meeting

they are more than jubilant. A spe-

two more coaches could have been pro-

many hundreds were turned away. On
this train were one hundred of the ia

reached Barton they were met by the
Barton, Colerain, st. Clairsville and
several other clubs, and parade was
given which numbered fully seven hun
bred members Wlile the town is
small. it was fully ablaze with red fire.
After a short parade the clubs assem-

crowd had gathered and a platform
neatly decorated was in readiness with
a number of vice presidents on the

Bridgeport club received three cheers,

eloquently spoke ON imperialism and

question: VINO wants the flag to flow

A LIE NAILED.
Answer to a Malicious Report Cir

Answer to Malicious Report Cir
cuIated to Injure a Candidate.
With reference to the report circu-
lated for obvious reasons affecting the
unionism of John Kunkle, the Demo-
cratic candidate for State Senate in
the First district-a report which no
person who had the slightest acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Kunkle credited in the
least degree-the following letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Fred Strasser, of this
city, is self-explanatory
1t affords me great pleasure to write
in defense of brother who is unjustly
wronged. John Kunkle did not work
non-union during or prior to 1892. He
left here in 1884 or 1885 and went to
Lazearville, w. Va, where he remained
until that plant went non-union, and
then went to Muncie, Ind, about the
year 1892 or 1893. | know because
worked alongside of him in that city
until he got a telegram from Bellaire,
where he worked until within a year.
This report has been circulated in
order that the opposition might ac-
complish their end, which is the defeat
of Brother Kunkle. L. A. No. So brands
the report as a malicious lie, circu-
lated by designing persons for the pur-
pose of injuring the reputation, char
acter and principle of a brother mem
Der of our association. and l think it
the duty of each individual member
to brand it as such, regardless of polit-
ical affiliations.

in their own States in the morning and
then take aEtraln for West Virginia,
where they hope to vote again. Every
vote cast by these men kills vote
cast by lawful and honest citizen OF
the State of West Virginia. To toll
crate that sort of thing is to destroy
the value of elections and nullify the
will of the people. 1t is an outrage,
shame and an indignity to which the
people should not submit for mo-
ment.
/ am one of those willing to go to
some trouble and expense to secure
an honest ballot, and l hope that all
good citizens, without regard to party
will see to it that non-residents who
vote or attempt to vote are carefully
noted and promptly arrested on Fed
eral warrants, and that they are pros
ecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The Federal Court is not noted for
mercy to those who knowingly and
wilfully violate the laws of the land,
and if necessary good citizens can pc
tition the Court for the appointment
of a special prosecutor to push charges
of this nature-this in the event of any
indication of half-heartedness on the
part of the District Attorney Or his as
sistants.
Let us, as good citizens, go after
those who intend to commit fraud
not only the principals, but those who
aid and abet them. The laws are am
pie and officials are sufficiently numer-
Gus. The first man landed in Jail will
have a wholesome effect-the first half

MOTHER WIS DISTRACTED
WITH GRIEF WIN SHE SAW HER
CHILD GROUN0 re PIECES BIZ
A TRAIN
ON THE BALTIMORE & OHIO
Yesterday Afternoon-aaccfde Hap
pened Ten Miles East of Cam
bridge, Ohio, and the Victim Was
an Infant Child of John Brothers.
Had Crawled Out to the Track.

Particulars OF a peculiarly sad fatal
ity are brought to Wheeling by pas
sengers upon Baltimore & Ohio pas
.senger train No. 104, which arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon. The
train was coming east at high rate
of speed, in charge of Conductor Nc
Cornell, with Engineer T. Howard at
the throttle. At a point about ten
miles east of Cambridge, O., the engi-
neer noticed little ahead on the track,
an object which was small but showed
signs of animation, and he thought it
was a domestic fowl.
1t was only when the engine was too
close upon the object to avert the i'm
pending fatality, that the engineer re-
allied that the form was that OF a
child. The engine was reversed. 1t was
too late. The ponderous wheels of the
engine passed over the body of the
infant, and cruelty crushed out the life
which had been given just eighteen
months before. The body was horribly
anu DCyOAu
recognition.
The trainmen were affected by the
accident, but their grief was in no
sense comparable to that of the moth
er. Mrs. John Brothers, who had miss
ed her child about the time she heard
the rumbling OF the wheels of the APP
preaching train, and went to the front
door OF her home in time to realize
what happened, but too late to pre-
vent it.
She was fairly distracted with grief
as she ran down to the point to which
her precious infant had crawled, and
saw the mass of mangled, torn and
bleeding flesh, which had few mo-
ments before been the bright and in
nocent babe whose lips had just learn
ed to frame the word mamma" The
train stopped. AS the fond mother,
temporarily bereft of reason, gathered
up the lifeless forum and carried it
back to her home, there was scarcely
a dry eye among the passengers and
trainmen who witnessed the sad scene,
and dared not presume to offer con-
ISOLATION to the mother.

Substitution is Suspicious.

The attempt by a dealer to sell his
customer substitute in place of the
article the buyer calls for at once places
that dealer under the ban of suspicion.
The only reason why the buyer does
not invariably realize the suspicious
ness Of substitution and promptly re-
sent il, PROBABLY because in many
cases the money transaction involved
is 50 smau that it does not suggest the
motive for fraud Suppose a jeweler
advertises q diamond at $4,000. He
places it in mis- window. A would be
buyer enters the store and asks for this
particular diamond. But the jeweler
says, Il can give you that diamond il
you want it, ut here's another that's
just as good as the one advertised.
The buyers suspicious would be arous-
ed at once He would insist on the
stone in the window and he'd keep an
eye on it to see it wasn't changed. But
in the case of a fifty-cent transaction
it is different. The buyer often accepts
the substitute which is offered as just
as good as widely advertised article,
although substitution is just as sus-
picious in a fifty cent transaction as
in one involving fifty dollars.
Look at the question from another
point of view A sale of stock is adj
yertised. There are horses with pedi-
grees and records to be sold Farmer
Brown attends the sale with the pur-
pose of buying one of these good
horses. But the seller says to him,
THAT horse you want is a good horse,
of course, but I've got another here that
is just as good which I'd like to sell
YOU"
Has he just as good pedigree?"
well, no, he hasn't any pedigree to
speak Of"
Has he any rec0rd?'
well, no, we never held a watch on
him that l know of, but he's just as
good as ,-e horse you want"
Would Farmer Brown buy the lust
as good" horse? The question ans
wers itself. And yet this same farmer
will allow himself to be swindled time
and again by accepting Just as good
articles in place of those he called for
The article he called for has, SO to
speak, a pedigree and record. It's a
standard in the market of the world.
Yet in place of this standard article he
will accept substitute which nobody
knows anything about, an untried, I'M
proved article which has no record OF
value, and no proof of origin.
Let the buyer who is offered a SUBJ
stitute bear in mind that substitution
is suspicious, and that a substitute al
ways carries the ear marks of a
swindle.

that possibly it might contain

analysis of the remedy has pro-
ven it to contain no injurious
drugs whatever. but it cures by
astringent properties and healing
oils
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold
by druggists everywhere at so

Each package contains a little
book on cause and cure of piles,
together with testimonials from
thousands of cured patients from
