Tho PittsDurg Post.

The Pittsburg Post was the
most sought for paper in this
town each day after the assassina-
tion of President Mckinley, and
since his death. Its account was
the fullest and most reliable of any
of the big daily papers coming to
our town. The Post is noted for
the reliability of it's news, and the
people knowing this fact seek the
Post to all other papers. The Post
does net print jokes, but facts.

Fatally Shot.

Mr.. Charles e. Brown writes us
as follows:
Hardee Day was fatally shot at
Godfrey, Mercer county, Septem-
Der 10th, by Eugene Lookhart:
Both had been going through the
bayonet exercises, with empty
guns, and after the exercises, laid
their guns down on bed, and
turned their attention to some
thing else. Someone in the mean
time, put cartridge in one of the
guns, when it was picked up by
Lookhart, and accidentally dis
charged, the contents striking Day,
wounding him fatally. Our in
formant says Day cannot possibly
live.
Both of these young men are
from this county. The wounded
man is son of Mr.. Joe Day of
Henderson.

Premature.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
Prophecies and representations
as to Roosevelts course as chief
executive are premature and possi-
bly, unfair to him.
In general terms he has outlined
his policy, and he should be cred
tied with sincerity of purpose un-
til events prove otherwise. That
he means to carry on the govern
ment along the line marked out by
Mckinley, is his declaration, and
to that end he should have encour-
agement. But in any event criti-
cisms might we'll be postponed un-
til the body of his predecessor has
been laid away.

Adam and Eve n Myth.

"For centuries, students have adj
hered to the supposition that man.
kind sprang from common parent
age. Modern research has shatter-
ed this theory. 1t must be appar-
ent that the negro, the Mongolian,
the Malay and the Caucasian could
not have descended from the same

"It is absurd to talk of Adam and
Eve as having set up housekeeping

1t may be of interest to the gen.

there are only two, the New York
Sun and Post which have taken a

Experiments in feeding wheat
to farm animals and swine have
been made this year at the Kansas
Experiment Station, and also in
other States of the corn belt. The
experts conclude that wheat has
greater nutritive value than corn,
and may be used either crushed,
mixed with oats or corn, or in con-
neotion with straw in times of ex-
treme scarcity. The drought in
Kansas has not affected the wheat
crop, and many farmers will be
compelled either to use their wheat
as fodder OF to sacrifice their stock.
