THREE-CENT FARE MAY HIT
HANNA.

The organs of the Republican politi-
clans during the recent Cleveland may
orally contest i~nveighed sarcastically
against Tom L. Johnson for "adyocat-
ing three-cent fares on all street-car
lines but his own in Cleveland"
The organs, as usual, paused not to
ascertain the facts. They simply took
up the cry and passed it along.
Now, that Tom Johnson is a of
Cleveland, he has not abated his efforts
to secure three-cent fares, but is doing
all he can to put them into practice in
Cleveland, and with every prospect OF
early success.
The fun of it is, the ~street-car line,
the Little Consolidated Street Railway
Company, which is first to be hit by
Mayor Johnson's refusal to consent to
the renewal of street railway franchises
except on the Scent fare basis, be-
longs not to Mr.. Johnson, but to SEN
ator Marcus Auriferous Hanna, and II
has been that patron saint OF the Re
publican organs and not Tom johnson
at all, who has been all along standing
n the way Of three-cent fares in Cleye.

SNAKES ARE
Mannington Advocate.

Warrington Advocate.
Over in Morgantown things are dry.
Very dry, to be plain. 1t is said that
nothing but water has been used there
in the beverage line for many weeks.
Soda water, of course on the side. But
no booze" The drug store owners
became afraid of Judge Mason and his
policy toward liquor dealers, and de-
clined to sell a drop, except to persons
afflicted with snake-bite.
1t is wonderful how many people had
been out in the snake dens after this
order went into effect. They came
limping towards the drug store in
droves. Over in the country, in the
Dalton" settlement, lives "Leeve" Dali
ton, the famous snake hunter. Dalton
keeps pet snakes about his house, and
knows the dens and lairs Of scores of
reptiles. He can teach a snake to read
and write, and often finds black snakes
large enough for him to ride to town
with his butter and eggs when the roads
are bad. The snakes bring him through
the fields without laying down the
fences.
But the story is about a stranger who
struck Morgantown with an unmitigat-
eo thirst. One of the kind which makes
a man spit cotton and his tongue feel
like a rug. He belonged to a town
where one can step up to a bar and
drink all the poison his system can
stand. This man went into n of Nor
gantown's hotels and boldly asked
where is the barr" 1T is now in ses-
sion now" replied the abashed landlord,
"but 1 think you can find some of the
lawyers about the court house." "My
dear sir" replied the man with thirst,
81 want a drink of whisky" The land
lord fell back against the wall, pale and
trembling. That ora had not been
spoken in his house since Judge Mason
issued his famous decree. The landlord
feared the mere mention of whisky
might cause his arrest and imprison-
ment. He recovered himself sufficient
ly to gasp to the stranger the words:
Drug store. Nothing here. Get pre-
s%cription," and was carried to his room
by the bell boy.
The nan found a drug store imme-
diately. The druggist informed him
that he sold only to persons afflicted
with snake bit. The man with the large
thirst ~despaired, but as he left the store
a colored man stepped UP and said:
BOSS, I'll take you out to Leeve Dali
tons for a dollar, where you can get
sure huff snake bite, and then all the
b%oozology you want"
Tie man closed the bargain and in an
hour they were at ."Leeve" Dalton's
cabin.
Wan to get a snake Bit said the
stranger eagerly. Want a big one,
which will last all day and take a gal
Ion or so of liquor TO cure. Bound 10
have it. Systems run down. Stomach
full of barbed wire and my mouth feels
like the fiery furnace"
Wall now, I'm powerful sorry"
drawled Leeve. as if he had a week to
talk, ''but the snake bites is all en-
gagged for the next two weeks. Can't
accommodate you"
They buried the stranger in a little
valley not far from the new NJ. & K.
railroad track. No flowers at the fun
eral.

ACTOR FITzsIMMoNs's TROUBLES

AGlOH lZS1MNlON 1ftOl LIES
A woman, a horse and a stick of candy
the more you lick 'em the better they
go.-Proverbs of Solomon.
The luminous dramatic star, Robert
Fitzsimmons, erstwhile champion prize
fighter, has discovered a thing or two
about women lately. AS a result n
of two things is likely to happen, eth
er Bob will play second fiddle in his
own household hereafter and watch out
sharp that Mrs. Fitzsimmons's under
study in the play Of the Honest Black
smith" does not kiss him too realistic
ally when his wife is not performing
the part herself, or else, the ex-pro-
fessor of the manly art will take the
bull by the horns and keep his spouse
in due wifely subsection by means Of
occasional round-aTm swings, short
arm swings, short-arm jabs and upper
cuts.
Before Bob tried the latter method
his life was a burden to him because
some malicious person had told Mrs. F.
that the actress taking her part while
Mrs. F. was i'll was kissing her husband
on the stage with real, s~ure-enough
kisses. The tale made Mrs. F. well
enough then and there to arise and de-
liver the crockery-ware at her hus-
bands auburn hair and freckled u
tenance, which she did with more or
less accuracy and to Bob's great dis
comfiture. Then she resumed the role
of heroine in the Honest Black
smith," and for revenge spoiled the eli
max of the show by refusing to kiss
her husband at the given cue. This
was too much, even for the honest
blacksmith. Not only was his sense
Of dramatic unities outraged, but his
conjugal affections were lacerated. Los
ing temper, he asserted his authority
with his good, hard fists.
Then-presto!-what a change! Mrs.
Fltzsimmons, from a spiteful shrew
and unframed virago became the most
loving and docile of wives. Although
Bob was arrested for wife-beating, Mrs.
F. refused to make a charge and then
took a train out of town to avoid ap-
pearing against him at next mornings
session of court.
Meanwhile the Honest Blacksmith"
may ponder on the phenomena of con-
trariety in the feminine makeup.

ton of federal plums among the white
people, by taffy from the President on
his Southern iunkets. and by false
hoods and ~sophistry regarding the al
legged benefits to that section of an ex-
orbitant and unjust tariff, will not
amount to anything. Says he:
THE South is solidly Democratic and
will remain so, and no attempts of Sena-
tor McLaurin, of south Carolina, or any
Of his ilk will cut in on the big majorities
in any Of the extreme Southern States.
President Mckinley is mistaken If he
thinks hat by naming white persons to
Federal offices in the South he can accom-
plish the conversion of our section. 1t is
too early to forecast the lines upon which
the fight of the Democratic party will be
made in the next National election, but
the hayward Democrats who have been
dragged into the ranks of the Republicans
need not hope to accomplish any revolu-
ton in our Southern States.
Some of the Southern States nave Sc
cured the disfranchisement of the negroes.
Georgia he's not gone this far. Efforts to
deprive the negroes of their votes in our
State have proved futile. But it is not
the negro question that will keep the
South Democratic. 1t is pure American
ism. 1t is the desire " see the govern
ment checked in itS rad career of en-
pire."
Gov. Gambler shows conclusively
that the South is prosperous not be-
cause Of any policy of the Republican
national administration, but in spite Of
the injustice of many of its policies and
their hampering effects on legitimate
trade at home and on the extension of
our markets abroad. The South is de-
pendent on foreign markets for its
staple-cotton-and anything that re-
stricts our trade with foreign
tries Or tends to incite a war of tariffs
works disaster and is a serious men
ace to Southern prosperity. At pres
emit, says Gov. Gambler, 'the South is
prosperous because of its natural ad-
vantages and will not be fooled by any
scheme concocted by a clique at Wash
ington."

STANDARD WILL GOBBLE TEXAS
OIL.

Mr.. e. H. R. Green, Texas railroad
magnate, Republican boss and son of
Mrs. Hetty Green, complacently pre-
diets that the Standard Oil Company
will gain control of the Texas oil fields
in the end.
This is altogether likely. 1t would
be merely history repeating itself. No
one doubts the power OF this gigantic
monopoly to crush individual competi-
tors one by one and absorb their prop
critics in this case, as it has so often
done in the past. The Standard now
has entire control of the market for
oil land, as the st. Louis Republic points
out, the product of the Texas fields can
not be satisfactorily placed in competi-
ton with the Standard product. This
will compel the various companies at
tempting such competition to sell out
to the Standard.
"The oil fields of Texas says our
contemporary. would, under ordinary
and healthy conditions, offer a field for
the enterprise of many individuals and
legitimate corporations. Texans would
benefit most largely by their develop
ment. AS matters now stand, however.
the great oil trust alone. its few mag
mates already tremendously wealthy,
will prO6f from tho Toyoc oil Cfrilya
The Texan or other investor in the oil
district who dares oppose the trust
will go broke"
Such is monopoly, which has grown
so great and ~far-reaching that there is
small show for individual enterprise
even in the wilds of Texas.

Zeal News Fren the City Of MILLS
and Factories.


suspicious Cn0rocter0s
Yesterday afternoon Marshal Erwin
received a telephone message from the
First ward that two men were acting
very suspiciously about the ward school
house. The marshal secured Day OFF,
Ger Martin Myers and started for the
scene. When near the school house he
found n man coming out of the
building. The man started to run. bu.
the marshal called to him to stop. and
he halted. He vas turned over to Of
ficer Myers, and the marshal then no
ticed the other man, who was running
toward Aetnaville. The marshal start
ed after him, but had a long chase.
and he was not captured until neGr the
steel bridge in Aetnaville. He was
brought back to the jail. Upon being
questioned. they said they were limo
cent, and the one who was in the school
house said he was begging for old
shoes. The other one had little to say,
and both refused to give their names.
They seemed to be much worried.
Later it was learned that they had
been trying to sell jewelry. and on one
was found an advertisement for cheap
jewelry. 1t could not be learned last
evening what action would be taken
by the authorities in the cases.
