OUR ADLAI.
Christian County Man Again On
The Ticket.
Bryan's Running rIate A Harmony
Candidate Pleasing To
All.

Kansas City, Mo, July 6.-Hard
sense came to the aid of the Demo-
cratic Convention, and the fatal
mistake which seemed possible last
night was not made.
Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, was
named as Bryan's ticket COM
panion. a more respectable choice
could not have been made,
General Steyenson's character is
above question.
Stevenson, who was Cleveland s
Vice President, was unthought of
until last Monday. He was re-
garded as having served his time
as a statesman, and entitled to a
permanent place in the home for
retired public servants. When
the State convention of Illinois was
held Mr.. Stevenson was candi-
date for delegate at large, but
haun tne sufhclent strength to lift
the place. He was made an alter
nate.
On the way to Kansas City,
Mayor Carter Harrison and Col,
Alfred S. Trude, the great criminal
lawyer of Illinois, who Travelled in
company in private car, in dis
cussing the situation decided Ste
venson would be an available man
in case IT was desired to name a
favorite son.
The idea took, as may be seen,
not so much, perhaps, on account of
Stevenson s striking personality as
by reason of the utter unavailabllity
OF the others named. However, he
is digni6ed and respectable, and
if Bryan cannot win with him he
could not with any one.

CHAPTER XII.


1t is three o'clock The early din
ner is over at Gorse Cottage; as Violet
puts it, the one excitement of the day
has come to an end.
Before a freshly lighted fire Mrs.
Widen sits enveloped in white knit
ted shawl; she has established herself
for an afternoon doze, and looks upon
the whole tolerably comfortable. The
same cannot be said of her niece Vio-
let who Is established beside the low
easement window in folding Amer
lean chair with carpet seat. A look of
utter boredom mars her pretty face,
whilst her pale pink costume is mar
tistically finished Oh by wooden anti
macassar-striped scarlet and black;
she holds book in her hands, but
seems to be thinking rather than read
ing, and evidently her thoughts are not
like her dress, rose colored.
Good gracious mel" cries a laugh
ing voice, suddenly breaking in upon
the silence which has reigned in the
room for the last half-hour. What is
the matter? Has everybody got colds
or what, that you are all wrapped up
like Egyptian mummies?"
SHELL" cries Mrs. Widen, starting
out of her half doze with frightened
look, what has happened? Why have
you Gomez"
"Only freak of mine, mother dear!
just thought / should like mouthful
of bracing air!" laughs Shell, as she
kisses her mother half dozen times,
and then turns scrutinizing gaze all
round the room.
Mrs. Widen returns the kisses with
interest-if one corner of her heart is
warmer than another, Shell possesses
that corner.
II was afraid something had hap
pened," she says, with her eyes still
fixed lovingly on her daughters face;
but ! am very glad that you decided
to join us-only you might have writ
ten, dear"
you are welcome as the flowers in
May" cries Violet, who has left her
chair, and at this juncture gives Shell
cousinly hug. only you were an aw-
ful goose to come! II ever get back
to Mudford, wild horses shall never
drag me to a moor again"
But what is the matter with the
moor?" asks Shell. II thought it per-
fectly lovely as we came along-so
fresh and free and wild and breezy;
then the village itself is so quaint
could spend six weeks in sketching it."
But can't sketch, you see," yawns
Violet; "and as to its being fresh and
wild and breezy, why, it is like mid
winter. doubt IL l shall ever get
thoroughly warm again. BY the way,
did you see Mr.. Champley land did you
bring the wraps asked for?"
II did; and, what Is more. / brought
your velveteen dress"
You thoughtful darling! I believe /
shall find courage to go out of doors
again, now you have come"
1--WE certainly do find it very cold
here" interposes Mrs. Vilden's gentle
voice; and the house Is so scantily
furnished that one seems devoid of
comfort"
Comfort" cries vi. with a laugh
Of scorn. do those American chairs
represent comfort? There Is no couch
and no coal-box, the windows and
doors are simply drau6ht-traps. and the
carpets are so full Of holes one is in
constant danger of tripping. Wait till
you have seen the window curtains on
windy night-it is case of perpetual
motion-and, as a climax, / have only
two blankets ON m" bedi"

HOW TO TELL HORSES AGE.
Much Experience Required and Many
vh;o.S u.va IN re Considered.

Much Experience Required and Many
Things Have to BE Considered.
To distinguish merely between the
young horse and the old, it Is only
necessary to remember few salient
facts. The first is that the milk teeth
are present in the horses mouth untii
he is between and years old. The
second fact is that the mark" or
dark central depression on the surface
OF the incisors becomes gradually worn
out, and in horse over 8 years old
has nearly always disappeared from
the teeth of the lower jaw. The third
fact is that the shape OF the tooth Is
much wider from side to side than
it is fr,m front to back. AS the horse
becomes older the surface becomes pro-
gressi,ely narrower, from side to side,
and thns, instead OF remaining always
oblong, it becomes triangular. and
then in very old animals flattened from
side to side. In young horses, then,
we Judge tie age by observing which
of the milk teeth are present, and
which have been replaced by perma-
nent ones To distinguish between
the milk teeth and the permanent, re-
member that the milk teeth are small
err, whittier, and have distinct neck.
Until colt is over 2 years old his
teeth are all milk teeth, and the age
shown on the crowns Of the teeth. Be-
tween and the first of the perma-
nent teeth make their appearance, and
push out the middle two teeth in both
upper and lower jaws. A horse il
said to be years old when these CEN
trail permanent incisors are fully in
wear. During the next summer the
second pair Of permanent teeth appear.
and when they are fully grown and In
wear the horse is years old. Be-
tween and the last pair makes it's
appearance, and now the horse has
what is called full mouth. So far
both mares and horses are alike, but
at or near years old the CANNES, or
"tushes," appear in the male sex only.
Up to the end of this period the de-

lively easy matter, and any one who
Is at all observant can readily give the
age of horses by looking at their teeth.
After full mouth is attained 1t Is a
more difficult matter, and the difficulty
Of accurately telling the age Of old
horses is greater in proportion to their
age. So much is this the case that II
is popularity supposed that it is i'm
possible to tell the age of horses after
they are s years old. This may be
true to a great extent among the un-
trained and inexperienced, but to an
| expert 1t is not difficult to tell the age
up to Is years with fair degree of ac-
curacy, and after that age to approx
innate 1t within a couple Of years. To
do this successfully requires much ex-
perience and careful inspection of all
visible indications of age. To rely
upon one only, such as the mark" is
to court defeat. All should be OBJ
served-the mark, the shape OF the
teeth, their length and the angle al
which they meet those Of the other
/ jaw.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Stray Bullet Strikes a BeIlaire Wo-
man in the Eye, Putting 1t Out.
Last night at o'clock horrible ac-
cident happened to Mrs. George Kellar,
of Bellaire, whose husband keeps
grocery on Belmont street, below the
bridge She was standing in the door
way of her husbands store while her
son Henry was closing the place. As
he started in with box of produce
from the sidewalk, shot was fired by
some one down the street. The bullet
struck the box and glancing, hit Mrs.
Kellar in the eye.
The accident was rendered even more
deplorable by the fact that Mrs. Kellar
wears glasses, and a piece OF glass
lodged with the bullet in the eye.
A doctor was Immediately summoned
and removed a piece of glass 1zxA
inch from the injured member, besides
the bullet, which was 80 caliber.
Later child reported that the bull
let had been fired by boy from re-
volver. The police stated that the
shot was fired through ignorance by a
son of Moses Duga. a butcher, whose
place of business is on the same street.
Mrs. Kellar will lose the sight of
that member.

first automobile service inaugurated for
public conveyance in this section Of
the country, and probably the only In
the State OF Ohio. The projectors Of
this new system of transportation are
St. Clairsville people. who have had
this idea under consideration for some
time and have thoroughly investigated
the matter and at present they feel that
the proposed route for this new con-
veyance is just what they want. Those
connected with this enterprise have
abundant capital The route Is from
the end of the Wheeling street railway
line, in West Bridgeport. TO St Glars
vile, which is a fraction over eight
miles. For some time 1t has been talk
ed of building a street railway to this
town, but the huge hill at Pascoo.
known as the st. GAINESVILLE hill, has
compelled the promoters to abandon
this line, but now these people think
the automobile will meet the. dlfilculty
of this HILL MAYOR w. C. Carman. OF
st. Clairsville, was along the river
front yesterday and stated that they
had investigated every detail fully ana
that for $4,000 the company could buy
a vehicle that would carry from is to
20 persons and that 1t was propoaedi
to have two. one to run TO the foot Of
the hill and transfer to another that
would take the passengers to ST.
Clairsville. BY this way they could
meet every car. as they would run ev~
cry thirty minutes. or II they only put
on one they could meet every other
car. While the Major was here he al.
SO visited the electric plants to see
about them furnishing the power for
their storage batteries. as they want
an electric plant at each end OF the
line. He also made enquiries about
waiting room at the end OF the street
car line. He stated thqb he I Inn9nn
project would be q 80. and tn Z '1
company were very enthusiastic over
the venture.
This new way OF travelling would be
quite attractive and very convenient To
the people on the river front. The
travel between these towns and the
county seat is quite large. and II the
public could have this convenience they
certainly would accept It. The scheme
is plausible one, and would surely be
paying one. From all information az
present the line will be started.

~ S"h "IthuraW Fart OF Its Sub
scriptiOn.
WHEELING, w. Va, July IL, 1900.
To the Editor of the Register.
Slr:-Attention has been heretofore
called to the provisions for the protec-
ton OF the interest of our people in the
ordinance concerning the proposed
subscription by this county to the cap
ltal stock of the Uniontown, Waynes-
burg & West Virginia railroad.
Inc ordinance, in addition to other
safeguards, contains a proviso in the
following language: Provided, that
II the construction of said railroad in
both of said counties of Ohio and Mar
shall shall not be in good faith com
menced within six months from the
date Of the making of such subscrip-
ton, if it be authorized, or being com
menced, such railroad shall not be
completed in said counties and have
trains running, as aforesaid, within
three years from the date of making
such subscription and such further
times as may be rendered necessary by
failure of contractors or sub-contrac-
tors, by labor strikes or by litigation
which could not reasonably be avoid
ed, then the said board shall be at lib
erty to Withdraw as ito any part of the
subscription of five hundred thousand
dollars which may not have become
payable under the terms of this ordi-
nance"
IL Will be seen from this proviso
that the work must be commenced. in
both of the counties of Ohio and Mar
snail, in good faith within six months
from the date of the subscription. i. e..
the county of Ohio must have the work
going on in it as well as in the county
OF Marshall, so that the completion of
the road in both counties and to our
city is assured. The railroad must be
completed and have trains running
within three years from the date of
the subscription, unless the compile
tion is prevented by the causes named
IN the proviso, the occurrence of which
causes are certainly reasonable ex-
cuses for any delay If the road is
not commenced within the stipulated
Tune, or is not completed within the
said three years, subject to the excep-
tons named in the proviso, the Board
OF commissioners may withdraw as to
any part of the subscription not al
ready payable. This proviso is men
toned, not because it is probable, or
even possible, that the county will ever
want to withdraw as to any part of the
subscription, but it is an additional
illustration of the care with which the
interests of the public have been guard
ed in the preparation of the ordinance.
