Circuit Court

Rhe jury in the damage suit OF
ms. as tie Barker, of Clifton vs..
the Ohio River Railroad Company,
tried at this special term of Court,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff
in the sum of $4,000, being $500
more than was awarded her att for
mer trial of this suit. This is a
case where the plaintiff was injured
by falling through hole in the
platform around the Clifton depot,
and from which injuries she has
not been able to walk since, al
though two years have elapsed
since the accident. She sued for
$4,000. The case was hotly con-
tested, and the best legal talent
was engaged on both sides. A
motion to set the verdict aside was
made by counsel for defendant,
which motion will be heard during
next week. For plaintiff O. b

which Mrs. Armstrong sues the K.

landing with tie poles, 60.
The Grand Jury returned only
four indictments; one against Mrs.
Lizzie Cremoans, for felony; one
against VIM. Ward, also for felony;
and two misdemeanor indictments.
This shows a good state of NOR
ais in Mason county, when only
four indictments are found by a
grand jury, and shows that our
county is one of the most law-abid-
ing in the State.

a Case of HaVe-To.

at "a meeting Of the members OF
the Public Reading Room Com
mittee, at the rooms last night, it
was determined to allow boys un-
der the age of 16 years in the Read
ing Room only during the time
from 8 O'Clock a. m, to 10:30 O'Clock
a. m. Boys under Is years are not
allowed to use the punching bag
at any time. And it was further
determined that if the boys did not
observe order they would be OK
oluded altogether, but upon the
other hand, if they behaved them
selves as they should, liberties
might be extended to them.
The above move upon the part
of the Committee WAS absolutely
against the Committee's wishes,
but it was either case of turning
the room over to the unruly boys
or exclude them, and let the older
people have it. The boys have
been talked to time and again and
been begged to not be so unruly,
and to treat the room with some
little decency, but they had entire
lp taken control of the room, and
therefore the above action upon
the part of the committee was neo-
essary.
Now boys when you go to the
reading room in the hours set
apart to you, try and behave your
selves, and all will be we'll and you
will be respected and treated nicely.

The Mountain Democrat says il
Mckinley be re elected he will gel
this country into war with every
nation on earth, except perhaps
England, This means, perhaps
much more than the Democrat
thought.
To have a man at the head of a
Nation who is hungry for fighting
honors there is no telling how
many fights he will muster up, be-
cause he knows he has strong ma
ton 10 back him,
Mckinley was slow to enter in
to the Cuban war because he was
like hundreds of others-half afraid
Spain's brag navy would be too
much for us; but, after so easily
defeating Spain he now wants to
conquer the earth.
There is no need of war now, and
the fiehting shenlt aRFe tsppedl
as soon as the Cuban war was over.
There was no need for even talking
of war with Turkey. Better tame
the Turks with corn. The idea of
a great nation like the United
States going to war about small
sum of money. when the war would
have cost perhaps fifty times as
much as was due from turkey.
'Twould be far better to forgive the
debt and nobody would have scarce
ly felt it. But, have war, and
hundreds of families feel it keenly.
The best thing for this country
to do is to retire the warning ele-
ment to "innocuous desuetude" and
put the reigns of government into
the hands of statesmen.
Some men are constantly at war
with their neighbors while others
never have any trouble in that di-
reotion, yet are never imposed up
on. They command the respect of
all without any war. tits the same
with Presidents, The war with
Spain was necessity, but the ne
cessity ended with that war. Since
then war has been foolharday.
