Attempt To Assassinate West
Virginia's Governor.

Parkersburg Sentinel:
An Intellectual attempt to assassinate
Governor Atkinson is said to have
been made at Buchannon last night.
The governor was there attending
the meeting Of the board OF trustees OF
the Methodist conference seminary,
he being one of the trustees and the
fortunate overhearing of the plans OF
his assassination and the prompt ac-
tion OF the police are probably all that
saved his life.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago Edward Young, of Buckhan-
non, was killed in ClarksbuFg by
Vale Boughner. who Joined 8 crowd
which was in pursuit OF Young, sup
posing him to be murderer and a
fugitive from justice. Boughner
was convicted of manslaughter and
sent to the penitentiary and only re-

Gen. Wheeler's Retirement.

In anyone had predicteda generation
ago, that the dashing and dreaded
confederate cavalry leader Fighting
Joe" Wheeler, would live to be brig
adler general in the regular United
States army and to command a de-
parbment, with headquarters at Chic
ago, the prophet would have had a
short shrift. General Wheeler him
self would probably have been the last
man to credit any such prediction. The
fact that these things have actually
taken place is the most tangible proof
Of the unifying effect OF the Spanish
war That war has worked many
wonderful and surprising changes in
the nations affairs, but none more
gratifying than the wiping out of tra-
ditionai enmities between the north
and south. With one OF the most de-
termined of all confederate leaders
now an honored department com
mander in the heart of the north there
can no longer be any question that the
dead past has buried its dead issues.
General Wheeler's qualities as SOL
dier and as a man have fairly won for
him the esteem of the reunited nation,
and when he goes into retirement next
September he will take with him the
enthusiastic good wlshs IS of everybody,
and especially OF Chicagoans.--Chic-
ago Tribune.

Dynamiting Fish in Kanawha
River.

The criminal practice OF dynamiting
fish in the Kanawha river, which, for
some time has been carried on in
most highhanded way, has gone to a
point when some steps will likely be
taken to break /, up. Monday night a
big shot was put Off in the Kanawha
near the escond lock, at Leachtown,
and not only resulted in killing a large
number OF fish, but blew the dam up
several inches. damaging 1t in very
serious manner The attention OF the

and his family. so that the Boughners
have been advised by the Buckhannon
police not to go to Buckhannon and to
keep out OF Young's way
On Wednesday night when the meet
ing OF the trustees of the seminary was
over. the Governor was surprised on
coming out OF the seminary near mid
night. to find whole squad of police
standing waiting for him. He was in
formed that the police had heard that
Young had made threats that he was
going to kill the Governor and they
had with them a man who said he ov-
erheard plans being made by a number
of men for his assassination. The po-
lice had gone to the seminary to avoid
any danger and insisted on escorting
the Governor to his room. The other
trustees went with him to the home of
Rev. Asbury Mick, where they all
spent the night together, while two po-
lice kept guard all night outside the
house,
This morning, when the Governor
was ready to go to the train he found
the chief Of police and part of his
force outside the house, ready to es-
cort him to the train. He had scarcely
est foot outside the door when the po-
lice pointed out Young to him, with
about half dozen fellows around him
all drinking, apparently waiting for
him to come out. The police went to
he wanted and why he was lettering
there and the Governor told him if he
wanted to see him, there he was. Up
on that Young turned and walked
away and the crowd that was with
him also disappeared. The police es-
corted the Governor to the train and
saw him safely out of town.
The chief said he would have arrest
ed Young, but he had no personal
knowledge of his making threats and
only heard OF them from others. But
the gentleman who told the Governor
what he had heard satisfied both the
Governor and the police that there
was a plot to assassinate him and that
only the prompt action of the police
saved his life. The police are investi-
eating the case and if they find that
Young or any of his friends actually
made threats against the Governor,
will promptly arrest them.

The total gain over last year was
$767,SS5, surprising and gratifying
increase. OF this, it will be noticed
that almost 100000 comes from in
crease in manufacturers stock and ov-
er 100000 from the taxable property
OF banks, railroads and incorporated
companies. The amount OF money re-
turned also shows gain of 100000
while credits have been reduced by ov-
er $15O,000.
Everything goes to show that bet
ter Industrial conditions exist and that

Adding to the gain of $767, 1856 in per-
sonal property, that of over 100000 in
buildings as shown by the assessors
reports, we find that over a million dol
lars worth OF property will be placed

blade gathers in mysterious
way from every field and in every
season. The young, the middle
aged, and the old; the humble,
the sturdy, and the proud, one
and all, succumb to the cycles
touch and pass with the swift
ness of a breath that is spent.
But man was created for a des-
tiny that transcends the possibil-
tiles of human life within this
sphere. and death is not annihila-
ton. There is that in the lives
of such girls as our deceased that
gives US indisputable assurance
that beyond the gaze of mortal
eyes there is a realm in which
the pure and just will live and
move in untrammeled progress
ion forever.
There are no dead; we fall asleep
To waken where they never weep.
We close our eyes on pain and sin,
Our breath ebbs out. but life flows in.
