PIONEER RELICS.
Old Time FIints For Old Fashioned
Flint Lock Guns.

In Bonaheld's general store at
Tunnelton, the other day an ARGUS
representative was shown (byGeorge
w. Beavers, one of the clerks) a
box Of goods that carries the mind
back three quarters of century,
and sets it down among the pioneers
and early settlers who laid the first
feeble foundations of Preston
coun'y's present greatness. 1t is a
box of prepared fints, fashioned
for the old flint-lock mus
kets used by our great grandfathers.
This box has been handed down in
this store from a time so remote
that no one knows its history The
present proprietor, Mr. A. ]. Bona
field, entered the store as clerk
while yet boy, and says the box
Of flints was there then, and he has
no idea who originally added them
to the stock in trade of the primitive
country store. For thirty years the
only occasion upon which the hints
have been noticed is the time of the
annual invoice. Another bit of
antique merchandise in this old
store is a set of weaver's reeds, the
kind our great grandmothers used
in weaving the flannel, lindsey and
tow linen in which their families
were clothed in the good old days
befor' de wah." An obvious deduc-
ton from these facts is that the
present policy of this store is not
new, but that from its earliest his
tory It has endeaYored to accommo-
date it patrons by keeping on hand
every article that they were likely
TO reouire

HOME READING COURSE.

Another factor has entered our
agricultural educational system.
The farmers reading course has
taken its place along with the
farmers institute, the agricultural
college and the experiment station
as an important agent IN the diffu-
sion of knowledge among farmers.
The Agricultural Department re-
Gently issued a bulletin regarding
this, in which the following oc-
CURED.
Late in the fall of 1897 "home
reading course in agriculture" was
offered to the farmers of West Vir-
ginia. One hundred and thirty
two readers are now enrolled, most
of whom are doing enthusiastic work,
most of them by the aid of the
mails. The course runs in four di-
visions-crop production, live stock
production, horticulture and rural
economy. A regular course consists
of any two of the four divisions or
the student may elect any ten books
out of the twenty offered Any
student who has completed sub
jet will receive an examination and
anyone receiving IS per cent in any
two divisions will receive a suitable
certificate. The course is open TO
any applicant, without fees. The
subjects may be taken up in any
order desired by the reader. The
work is in charge of Prof. T. c.
Atkeson, dean of the College of
Agriculture, Morgantown, w. Va.

The Committee on Fisheries, to
whom was rererred Senator Elkins,s
Dill to establish fish Matching and
hsh station in the State of West
Virginia, report that such a station
would be of very great Importance.
The nearest station from which fish
can be supplied for stocking the
waters in West Virginia is in the
southwest corner of Virginia, which
stocks the waters of the Southern
and South Atlantic States. A new
station in West Virginia could serve
to stock not only the waters of that
State, hut those of Kentucky, Ohio.
Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The
amount provided in the bill tx.
ooo) for its construction, including
the purchase of the land, is less
than the cost of many similar sta
ton, and is regarded as a very
conservative estimate. The com
mittee is of the opinion that the
station would be of great benefit to
very large section of country out
side Of the State of West Virginia.
and therefore recommends that the
bill do pass.

The truth is that the British tao.
tics are antiquated. Every other
nation in the world long ago recog-
nized the fact that it is impossible
to charge magazine and rapid fire
guns in solid formation, and every
other nation has for a long time
practiced attack in skirmish forma-
ton. But Britain still masses her
men in close columns so as to form
splendid target for the machine
guns. A blind man could hardly
miss under such circumstances.

WASHING LETTER.
Governor Roosevelt Trying to Get

Political Independence without Financial
Independence, is Independence
in Name Only.
Calling the Bluff or the Republicans on
the Trusts Business.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

FROM our Regular correspondent.
Washington, d. c., Feb. $4,000.
The story that Gov. Roosevelt is
in the field as candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination
has found a sufficient number of
believers among the McKinleyites
to make it more important than it
seemed to be when it reached Wash
ington several days ago. 1t is now
said that there is a Roosevelt ma
chine and that it is plentifully sup
piled with money and is already
dickering with the men who usually
control delegations from theSouthern
States to Republican National Con
ventions /; that Roosevelt's positive
refusal to be candidate for Vice
President and his declaration
against the Nicaragua Canal Treaty
and in favor of absolute American
control of the canal was a part of
his scheme to attract the support of
the anti Mckinley Republicans. A
considerable number of Republicans
in both Senate and House would be
glad to see Mr.. Mckinley defeated
for the nomination, by Roosevelt,
or anybody else, but they have no
idea of sacrificing all their official
pie by announcing that fact, unless
it can be shown that Roosevelt, or
somebody else, has support enough
to win the nomination. Some think
that Roosevelt is merely making
bluff in order to force the admins
tration to throw its influence in
favor of his denomination for Gov
ernor.

THAT FAMOUS WEST VIRGINIA ELM.

The great elm tree on the Hood
farm on the bank of the west fork
of the Monongahela river, near
Shinnston, promises to be made
famous by the West Virginia novel.
Daughter of the Elm," it being
supposed that is the tree that cuts
SO large figure in the story. 1t
seems this tree is already on record
as the largest of its variety in the
United States. An old citizen
writes from Shinnston that some
years ago Philadelphia paper
offered prize for the largest water
elm in the United States that
citizen there measured this tree,
forwarded certificate Of dimensions
and was awarded the prize. He
says the tree has a circumference Of
twenty eight feet, three inches above
the ground
A lady at La Harpe, H., who
has read the book, writes that the
Elm farm was owned by her great
grandfather, David Wamsley, over
a hundred years ago, and that this
tree was planted by him. This, if
true, is even more extraordinary
than the tree, for it seems beyond
belief that such a growth could be
made in hundred years.

speech against the Republican gold
standard bill was among the best
heard, after stating that the measure
was vicious from beginning to end,
and that it provides for permanent
increase of the bonded debt, said {:
"This bill places in the national
banks the control of the bonded
debt of the country. Whenever the
banks see fit they can reduce the
gold reserve below the limit and
force an issuance Of bonds; and this
process can 50 on indefinitely. All
this IS in the interest of the creditor.
in the interest of the bond holders,
and grievously against the interests
of the people. Political indepen-
dence is much to be desired, but /
would rather live under an absolute
despotism and have financial indie
pendence than to have political in
dependence and be financially de-
pendent. Political independence
without financial independence is
only independence in name"

HAD

Look we'll to their record. What they
have done mary times in years gone by,
is the best guarantee of future results.
Anyone with a bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from any
kidney ills, will find in the following evil
dence proof that relief and cure is near
at hand:
Mr.. Patrick o. Dwyer, mason, of 62
White street, New Haven. Conn, says:
"In 1896 when Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of backache which always bothered
me when 1 caught cold, which hurt me
when 1 stopped, or Strengthened after
STOPPING, which refused to disappear un-
der treatment of different medicines, 1
was only too pleased to let the people of
New Haven know the fact through our
newspapers. Three years from that date,
or in the month of May, 1899, I just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as did when they effected the cure
mentioned above. My advice to anyone
suffering from kidney complaint is, call
at drug store, procure Doan's Kidney
Pills, take them as directed, and you will
be surprised at the results"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers, price so cents. Mailed by Foster
