Why Joseph Wanted No Churches

Chief Joseph of the Neg Perces adn1inis tered rebuke to sectarian controversial ists the other day, relates Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record He Is one of the noblest of Indians and has never done a disonorable act. With a handful of braves he fought the entire United States army all one summer, but since his surrender Chief Jospeh has strictly kept the letter and the spirit of the terms he made with the government. He is now here trying to induce the gov ernment to fulfill Its pledges. Chief Joseph wants school houses, but he does not want churches on his reservation, and when asked to explain why, he replied that he feared the ministers would teach his peo- pie to quarrel about God.
 We quarrel about men sometimes" he said, but we never quarrel about the Great Spirit. We worship Him, but we never quarrel about Him."

TOOK FIRST PRIZE.
In GoOse-Plucking Contest did the
Candidate for Governor.

HAMLIN, w. Va. Cor. Pittsburg
Dispatch. The most peculiar cam
paign of West Virginia's history has
had its climax. Every body in the
state knows Judge Holt. He has
rocked babies, baked dumplings, fld-
died in lumber camps and sung to APP
preciatiye audiences until his name is
an open sesame everywhere.
Yesterday there was big assemb-
lage at Judge Swann's country house
in the southern portion of this county.
The broad porches were filed with
people from adjacent counties. The
occasion was the annual meeting Of
the Daughters of Rebekah. In the
afternoon, after fine dinner beneath
the spreading oaks, Judge Swami an
nounced that he had 60 geese ready
and willing to be picked, and suggest
ed as diversion that the county lass
es try their hands.
A house raising, a corn shuckling,
an apple peeling or bean stringing
could not have met with louder ac-
claim, and forthwith each girl went
to work. They were in the midst Of
their labor when, mounted ON his old
gray mare, Judge Holt rode up to the
gate. OF course, he couldn't pass.
Light and come in, cried Judge
Swami, and every Daughter of Re-
bekah joined in the chorus of Glitch
up, Judge"
Judge Holt dismounted, and in the
twinkling of an eye, having greeted
everybody and kissed the nine month
old grandchild of old Judge Swami,
was seated beneath a tree with a
goose in his lap, hard at work.
When the goose picking was over
Judge Swami presented to Judge Holt
as a premium for having first finished
his goose a fine quill pen, which
Judge Holt prizes very much, and
says it will be used to sign the first
bill he approves, if he is elected Gov
ernor Of West Virginia.

Work on Lock Tea Contractor
Kingston Here Looking 0ger sitna-
tion-To do Much Work this Fall.
Mr.. James Kingston OF Pittsburg
who is one of the firm which has the
contract for the locks aud dams be-
tween this place and Fairment has
been in town looking over the ground
and taking measures to get the
work started this fall. A great deal
is expected to be done ~ the firm
before the bad weather puts an end
to their labors for the year
Shanties are being built on the
west side at lock ten to accommodate
the workmen that they will bring
here and other work is being done
toward starting the improvements.
The work that is to be done on lock
ten is merely to close up the gap IN
the center of the dam. The rest of
it will be attended to by the Gov
eminent.
Two years is given the firm for
the completion of all the locks and
dams. If they get done in that time
they will have to hustle and do more
than most people think that they
can get done. They have good rec
ords as far as known and they have
the best wishes of every one here for
their success.
AT lock ten the work that is under
the direction Of Captain Freeman who
has charge of the government work is
going along nicely. The grading in
nearly completed. A retaining wall
three hundred feet long has been built
along the road on the upper side
across the river. This wall is to keep
the road from falling In and it is a
model of its kind.
A great deal of paving is to be done
and the stone for this is on the
ground. This job Of paving will be
very complete. Foundations for the
two lock tenders houses have been
built although the contracts for the
houses have not yet been let.
A residence for the superintendent
will also be erected. This superin-
tend will have charge of the river
from lock eight TO Fairmont. A boat
yard will be built here and all of the
government repair work for about fif-
ty miles along the river will be done
in Morgantown. A similar yard is in
operation at lock -four. 1t will make
this place an important distributing
point as it will be headquarters for
all Of the locks and dams between
seven and fifteen.
The chamber at ten is now being
pumped out. The lock gates will not
go in until next spring and the lock
will be completed early in the season.

COL. DAVIS HERE.
Democratic Candidate for Con
gress in Morgantown.

He is Confident That he will be Elect
ed--PartY in Splendid Shape all over
the District-Repnbliean Paper Con-
cedes his Election Here
Please Him.
Col. Thomas B. Davis of Keyser ar
rived in town this morning. He will
be here until tomorrow. The Colo
mel was seen by a representative of
this paper at his hotel. He was in
splendid spirits over his canvass of the
Second district which he finds in fine
condition. 1t appears certain that he
will be elected by good majority.
In every county which he has visit
ed he has seen scores of republicans
who have assured him of their sup
port and the Democrats were never in
better trim for an aggressive winning
fight.
Col. Davis said that this was his
first visit to the western end of the
district but that he was delighted
( with the way things were going.
This county is all right for him and
he is pleased with the reports that
local leaders were able to give him.
He stated that his own county was
claimed by the Democrats by two
hundred. 1t usually goes about three
to five hundred the other way, Berke-
ley county which usually gives five
hundred republican majority is con-
coded by the republicans to be a stand
Off while enthusiastic democrats claim
it by two hundred. Randolph, Tuck
er, Pendleton, Hampshire, Jefferson
and the entire eastern end of the dis
trict is showing up splendidly.
The republicans are very much
alarmed and they are privately con-
ceding Dayton's defeat. The Balti-
more Herald a strong republican pa
per stated few days ago that Mr..
Dayton had lost the district.
The democratic candidate is a very
magnetic man and makes hundreds of
friends where ever he goes. Many of
those who have known him in his
rise for fortune will vote for him on
personal grounds as they recognize the
fact that he Is a man of sterling char
aeter and in every way fitted to repre-
sent this busy district.

A Famous Play.

There is but one company playing
Alvin Joslin and that company is led
by Charles Willard. After Mr.. Chas.
Davis built the Alvin theater in Pitts
burg he retired from the stage and al
lowed Mr.. Willard to take the play
out on the road. Mr.. Willard is the
rival OF Mr.. Davis for character act
ing. This is the same company and
the same play that appears each year
in Piutsburg, Wheeling and other cit
les. Alvin Joslin is entirely different
from such rural plays as Joshua Simp-
kins, ST Stebbns, Joshua Spruceby,
ST Plunkard and the like. 1t is near
er in general character to The Old
Homestead and Shore Acres. There
will be no advance in the regular
house prices for this play which has
delighted the multitude for eighteen
years past. Seats are now on sale and
going fast.

L,,ilP HOLES
In the Law May Save Lud Madison.
Once Sentenced to Death, He May
Go Free.

MouNDsvmLE, w. Va, Oct. 20. -
just year ago the Circuit Court OF
Fayette county, Judge Gaines presid.
ing, sentenced Lud Madison, eolored,
10 be hanged January 14th. In the
state penitentiary at Moundsville, for
the murder OF another negro. Two
days before the date Of the execution
Gov Atkinson issued respite for 30
days to allow application for a new
trial. From that day everybody
seems to have lost sight of Madison.
His friends failing TO raise the
money for the application Of new
trial, the matter was dropped. The
Judge who sentenced him died before
the reprieve expired. When the 90
days were up Madison had not been
re-sentenced, and Warden Hawk, OF
the penitentiary, had nothing on
which to base legal execution.
1 Two weeks ago Madison's case was
forced upon the authorities by d re-
port Of IL TO Governor Atkinson,
The Governor decided that the Judge
being dead and the time for resentence
having passed no one can now resen-
tence Madison.
Further, the date OF legal death
having passed, Madison cannot be
hanged on the original sentence. AS
he was never sentenced TO imprison-
ment he cannot be kept in the peni-
Tertiary, so Madison will probably be
turned loose In few DAYS.
