Land Values Increasing.

Clayton Cour1er.
 The advance in the price of farming lands in this section of the country is conclusive evidence that we are on the up grade" We know of cash offer of s15 per acre for body of 325 acres, rear town that was refused.
 We also know of one tract that sold for $10 and two other tracts for $l2.50 per acre Our farmers are at last learning the value of Barbour County lands. It is true we can't equal the West in fer tility of soil, but We can equal any sec ton on the globe when it comes to cli- mate, health and society: besides all these advantages, our soil produces all of the cereals, fruits and vegetables. We know of no country where intelligent farming pays more liberally than in this immediate section,

If the tariff bill passed by the House of Representatives under gag rule. whip open declaration to all the world that the products of the Philippine Islands are not wanted in this country. Our stuffs can go there under regulations fixed by tho commissioners appointees of the President of the United States, but when it comes to letting in Philip pine articles in competition with Amerl- can goods that's another question.

It must be admitted that this ing that his word is to be taken without corroborating evidence. but it was said that he could furnish letters and other documents to sustain any statement he might make, and if there have been im- portant matters kept hidden 1t is tlme to turn on the light.

CRAZY HALF-BREED ACTS
Committed Suicide After Standing
 Off a Posse.

Malta, Mont, Dec. 27.-Tom Paranto, crazed with liquor and insanely jealous of the daughter of Mrs. Fannie Anderson, another half breed, tried to force an en- trance into the Anderson cabin, but was ordered away. He returned with his bullet striking Mrs. Anderson. A con stable and posse went in pursuit of him.
 He had in the meantime barricaded himself in his cabin and, we'll supplied with ammunition, fired on every one who approached. A man named Demery, one of the attacking party, was fatally wounded. Paranto suddenly ceased firing and the posse, breaking in the door. found he had turned his weapon upon himself, blowing the top of his head off

The statement is made that the Presi- dent advises that all matters and ques- tions connected wi,.l the Schley tnvesti- gation shall now be allowed to drop. Very likely 1t is beyond the President to control the matter now. for neither schley nor his friends nor the country at large will suffer 1t to drop where it is. The rumor as to the Presidents wishes. however, indicates pretty plainly that he sees the danger threatening his party and his administration unless this matter is hushed up. That he should be anxious about the results likely to follow the decision of the court is not to be wondered at, but that he can hush it up is very doubtful

We thought the status and claims of the negro, Parker. had been settled some time ago, but it appears that he Is still parading himself before the public as the hero who was first to lay hands on Czolgosz after the latters assault on the President. The Nashville News tells us that Parker only a day or two ago caused the statement to be given out that he was to receive some kind of appoint ment in recognition of his valiant and patriotic services. The claims of Parker were entirely ignored in all the official reports that were made, and in the in vestigations following the assassination it is not shown that he did anything which entitled him to notice or credit in connection with that affair. The News argues that the people of his race in Pennsylvania ought to have the decency and respect for that race to shut him up" We suspect that he is not the kind of negro to be shut up as long as he can get any nOtoriety out of his alleged services, but we consider it very doubtful about his getting any appoint ment for what he claims to have done.

MANUAL TRAINING IN NEW YORK.

That New York is recognizing the
correct educational idea of the future
is evidenced by the action of the New
York City Board of Education, whose
president has submitted plan to in
clude the industrial schools and the
kindergartens, now supported by pri-
vate subscription. in the public
school system of the city.
This indicates the tendency of mod
ern education toward the practical
rather than the purely theoretical.
New York has nineteen industrial
schools and forty kindergartens for
children, which heretofore have re-
eeived conditional and inadequate sup
port from the city and which have
subscription through the Children's
Aid Society.
The plan of the New York Board of
Education is to bring the industrial
schools and kindergartens into the reg
ular public school system and to secure
uniformity in public education. Teach
ers in the industrial schools, under
this regime, would be subject to the
same standards and requirements as in
all other schools.
Manual training, or industrial educa-
ton, started from very small begin
nings in New York and has received
no official encouragement except such
as it has won by sheer force of merit,
through which and by natural laws
alone it has forced its way into the
public school system of the metropolis.
The moral of this for the rest of the
country, especially for industrial cen
tres such as Wheeling, is obvious. To
keep our place in the industrial race
we must first know how

DOWN WITH THE DUST,

In dry weather too great precautions
cannot be taken in cities to prevent the
dust of the street from filling the air.
According to the Chicago Chronicle,
which has obtained expert opinion, the
grippe epidemic now affecting horses
and other animals in that and other
cities. is due chiefly to dust and heat.
That dust causes or aggravates dis
eases of the respiratory organs is one
of the most familiar facts of medical
science. Dust catarrh is a malady
which attacks not only threats, but
the eyes and stomach. Its ravages go
further, for the street dust contains
every morbid mierobe known to
pathology. The sputa of all animals is
dried in it and lives after many a
sprinkling. Its sharp particles incise
the mucous membrane and open d
speedier way for germs to come into
close contact with the veins. Its stony
substances cut the delicate nerves of
the eyes and ears. 1t is a serious
enemy of health. It is noyious under
all circumstances. 1t stiles vegetation.
1t should be kept down by a copIous
sprinkling.

GOLF FOR THE POOR MAN.

Mayor Mcguire, of Syracuse, N. Y,
who used to be a Bowery newsboy, has
come to the conclusion that the
wealthy too long have monopolized the
healthful game of golf. He has issued
a proclamation that officially removes
the game of golf from the list of
amusements for the exclusive edific-
alton of the wealthy and makes it a
poor mans game.
His ukase announces the formal
opening OF the Syracuse municipal golf
links. 1t sets forth that golf was not
designed as a fad for the rich, but is
meant for the health and amusement
of men. women and children generally.
The working people of Syracuse may
now don their golf suits after the labors
of the day are over, get their caddies
and HE themselves to the public links.
Mayor Mcguire says that golf is such
a healthful amusement that he hopes
to encourage a love for it among the
masses He declares also that if the
anti-saloon leagues try to stop the
playing of golf on Sundays they will
get into trouble, as he will fight them
at every turn. And Mayor Mcguire
means business. In him the noble
game Of golf has doughty champion.

is sCHwAB TO BLAME.

One of the peculiar phases of the rup-
ture between the United States Steel
Corporation officials and the officers of
the Amalgamated Association at their
last conference in New York was that
the main stumbling block was not the
great representative of capital, Morgan,
but C. NJ. Schwab-that it was not the
Financial Dictator of Wall street. who
opposed a compromise with organized
labor, but President Schwab.
Eyewitness, men who took prom
inent part in the conference on behalf
of the Amalgamated Association, de-
clare that the chances were MIR. Nor
gan would have agreed to compromise
satisfactory to the union, and that Mi.
Schwabs influence and persistent
coaching of Mr.. Morgan in the con-
ference were mainly responsible for
the rupture and the breaking off OF all
peace negotiations.
This places the million-dollar pres
ident of the billion-dollar trust in new
light 1t seems that it isn't Financial
Emperor Morgan, King of the Trusts,
whom organized labor has been bat
ting with for it's rights so much as a
mana young man-who only few
years ago was, himself, an ironworker,
working side by side with the very men
whom he now Opposes man whom
one would have selected as the very
person for labor to appeal to for SYM
patty in the present dispute with cap
ital.
1t is an old saying in the army that
the greatest martinez is the MAJ who
has risen from the ranks.
While the chief representative of
capital was inclined to be fair and just
to labor. his right hand man in this
contingency. whom many ironwor'ters
remember as their co-laborer, Charlie
Schwab, stood out for a fight to a
finish" between aggregated capital and
organized labor.
Mr.. Schwab is very young man to
hold so responsible a position, and it
is not the first time he has given evil
dence of youth and of the fact that
although - has million-dollar salary
he does not possess million-dollar
head.

THE CROPS IN EUROPE.

If the crops are nothing to brag OF
In the United States this year they at
least are no better in Europe. While
we will have but a partial corn crop
a fair crop of wheat is promised. Ac-
cording to the Bulletin des Halles,
there will be a great deficiency in the
German wheat crop. while in Russia
there will be barely an average, If
that, the crops looking less and less
favorable on account of great heat.
In France the Bulletin says the pros
poets were never more sharply debated
1t believes, however, that the con-
sumption of bread is decreasing in
France and therefore is not yet prepared
to admit that France will need more
wheat from abroad than last year,
though the French crop of 1900 was
over 100000 bushels less than the
normal consumption, and the importa-
ton was small, so that the SURPRISES
from the excessive crops of 1898 and
1889 must have been largely drawn
down.
The Bulletin gives the following
