Horsethieves ! |! [

HOrseth1eyeS
 When Doctor A. II. Noon and his family arose Monday morning they found a horse missing from their premises. When they retired Sunday evening there were two horses in the lot, and in the morning there was only one. All gates were securely fastened and as the horse remaining would have surely followed the other had gate swung open and the animal strayed away, the inference was irresistible that some one had entered, taken out the horse and closed the gate.
 Sheriff Turner was telephOned and rode up the hill to give his assistance In finding the lost animal and captur- ing the thief or thieves. Both he and Arthur Noon carefully examined the streets leading in every direction from the Noon residence, to find if possible the trail made by the horse in going out. But the heavy rain falling after three o'clock had evidently obliterat- ed his tracks. Arthur Noon saddled another horse and started outside of the town to try and find some trace of the animal, and the police author ities on both sides of the line were notified of the theft and asked to have an outlook for the missing animal.
 Between ten and eleven o'clock Ar thur Noon returned and reported that he had found the trail of the horse on the road to Washington Camp. Sher- if Turner again saddled up, took his Winchester, and with MT. Noon took the trail. It was then raining heavily and so continued all the afternoon and eveniDg-much to their discom fort. They returned reporting that they had failed to find the missing "caballo."
 Monday afternoon, about three o'clock. Doctor Noon had occasion to go into his chicken house, and he found the missing horse inside. The animal had got in there, the door had closed, and no one had thought to look there for him. Taken altogether it is very amusing story. Fred Noon says it is ''the best joke of the season.n Sheriff Turner and arthur Noon, riding through the rain, failed to see the joke.

How and Why il Happened.

The Parkersburg High School nine
failed to put in an appearance Satur-
day afternoon and in order not to dis
appoint the rooters who had contract
ed for standing room on the Athletic
grounds the Sand Hill High School
aggregation was substituted.
In the first two innings the Academy
boys batted the Sand Hill pitcher out
of the box, securing IA runs off him,
while the latter only got two to their
credit. At this stage of the game Ell
ston and Buchanan were put in as
battery for Sand Hill and things began
to look different. The Academy
couldn't draw a tangent to Elston's
high curves and when it was all over
the Sand Hill nine had the other fell
lows skinned by the score of II to IA.

Realizing the fact that their internal
tactics have failed of their purpose,
and that their vicious attacks upon the
official record of Mr.. Middleswart
have served to make him stronger in
the eyes of the people, the Register
and it's gang, as q last hope, have
struck out on new line. and in the
Registers issue of Saturday evening
appeared communication signed
Justice" reproduced in this paper to-
day, in which the malicious charge is
made that Mr.. Middleswart is viola
tor of the law. Our readers are re-
spectfully referred to the communica-
ton, also to the others published in
connection with it.
1t is not difficult to establish the
identity of "Justice''-the paper in
question has not been seen by more
than six people. Five of these were
]. C. Beach, who gave the bond; Divis-
ion Commander Speelman, to whom it
was given; c. C. Middleswart and j..
H. RILEY, who signed it as sureties;
/. G. McVAY, who as Notary Public,
acknowledged the signature of j. H..
RILEY. "Justice" also says the paper
was seen by A. P. Cree. We hardly
mink the reader will experience much
difficulty in satisfying his own mind
as to the authorship of the letter, or
rs to the purpose for which it was
written and published. 1t is enough
to say that it is absolutely false and is
in keeping with all the other outrag-
eous charges that have been made
against Mr.. Middleswart. 1t is also
pertinent and proper to say that all of
these infamous charges against Mr..
Middleswart have emanated from the
same gang of political pirates, the MEM
bers of which have either held office
for years or are mad because they
can't. Everybody knows that these
assassins of character are the paid
agents" of the man who is seeking to
accomplish Mr.. Middleswart's defeat
and who does not hesitate on the ques-
ton of methods employed,

PROSPERITY IN THE WEST.

Secretary Hitchcock. who was with
the President and his party on the
tour to the Pacific coast, reports that
the West is unusually prosperous. The
secretarys judgment is undoubtedly
correct. The weekly tables of the
bank clearances of the cities of the
country tell this story with frequen-
cy and u deciGiyeness which is conclu-
sive on this point. The reports of the
railroad earnings of the lines which
center in Chicago, st. Louis and other
points in the West add emphasis to
the story. New records are constantly
being made in both particulars.
There is another indication of the
prosperity of the West which can be
cited. The immigration to the states
and territories between the Mississippi
and the Pacific in the past few months
is beyond anything of the kind seen
in many years. This is the report of
all the railroad companies, but partic-
ularly of those of the more Northern
lines. All through Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon there is
rush of immigration such as was hard
ly surpassed in the boom years OF
those commonwealths. Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado and the other
states of the central tier are also get
ting a larger immigration than they
have known in many years. and the
promise is lat the movement will in
crease before it decreases.
Not since the early sos, when the
Republican resumption of gold pay
ments brought the country out of the
stagnation of the 1873 panic, has the
West seen any influx of new settlers at
all approaching the present movement
in volume. All the roads are carrying
in their quota of the new citizens of
the West. More of these. OF course,
are coming from Europe, and comprise
the greater part of that immense in
crease in immigration which is pour
ing hither from across the Atlantic.
Many of the Vests new settlers,
however, are from the Eastern states.
The proportion of this element is said
to be greater among the newcomers
than has been seen in many years. All
this is agreeable to this section. 1t
shows that the West is fully sharing
in the prosperity which is giving the
present period in the United States a
pre-eminence over the best days of the
past.

THE AMERICAN MENACE.

Europe's terror of things American
is taking new shapes almost every
week. 1t is now alarmed lest it's retail
trade should be taken by the United
States. Says the Leipzlger Tageblatt
"As long as the giant America remain
eu in its child's shoes and amused it.
self at the expense of its old aunt Eu-
rope, but could not get along without
her assistance, we were often irritated
at the young boy, which began to
stretch out it's strong, undisciplined
limbs, but the larger he got the more
he consumed, and everything he bought
he paid for with ready cash"
That paper now points out that the
giant has become full grown, and not
only does he make most of the things
which he consumes, but he makes so
much that he sends a great part of it
over to Europe, and this finds a sale
there because it is not only cheaper
than anything Europe can make in
that line, but it is better. This is a
serious grievance to Europe, and the
TageblatI sets it forth in eloquent
language Moreover, it finds that
some OF the large department stores of
NccTw; Vork Nork are taking steps to start
branch houses in several European cit
ies, and declares that it is time that
Europe set itself to considering how it
could defend itself against this peril
Gus competition. which is now menac-
ing the Old Worlds retail business.
Rather humorously, too, the Tage-
blatt, like many other papers on the
other siue of the Atlantic. urges a
European tariff alliance" against
America. 1t is clear that the Tage-
blatt editor, when writing that article,
had not read the warning sounded
few days ago by Count Goluchowski,
Austria's Minister of Foreign Affairs,
againts some/of Germany's tariff legis-
lation, which was operating injurious
ly against certain Austrian products.
There was, in that warning, hint
that this German tariff discrimination
would, if persisted in. call out retalia-
tory laws from Austria, If Austria
and Germany can not refrain from
wrangling in tariff matters among
themselves, how can they and all the
rest oil Europe so harmonize their GUS
tom house enactments as to present
united front against the United States?
When the Tageblatt editor glances over
the Austrian Foreign Secretarys talk
he will begin to grasp the absurdity of
ever imagining he will see tariff al
lance by Europe against the United
States or against anything.

the One-term plan, each county taking

from the race and Senator Harding
will be nominated by acclamation

VAUDEVILLE A6E.


Bishop Potter, Of New York. takes
rather a pessimistic view OF the pres
ent age. In communication on cur
rent journalism he says:
my pleasure is grcatat times to fine
some column or two.column article
written with accuracy and insight on
some burning questions, of the day
and then follow from one idea to an
other when each is arranged in precise
sequence with it's fellows. believe
that such articles are not popular,
however. 1t appears to be one of the
failings of the present age that men do
not care to maintain continued line
of thought for any length of time. The
people want storiettes instead of nov
els, operettes instead of operas, and
vaudeville sketches instead of five-act
plays. Someone has characterized
this as the vaudeville age. and the
characterization is not far from right.
We see this in our schools. Children
are taught great many things, but
only little of each. The child has
little German, a little Latin, o little
algebra and SO on
The trouble is that the world Is NOV
ing pretty fast. Depth OF Thought and
sincerity of conviction are the pro.
ducts only of time and much delibera-
ton. The average man does not have
much time to think. IT takes his best
energies to keep his place in the bust
ness struggle. That daily battle over,
a mental reaction sets in and the mind
Graves rest. recreation and amusement.
Physical strength is also largely used
up in the days worry and tired body
is not conducive to a reflective mind.
This is the logical explanation of the
superficiality now so prevalent in mat
ters of religion, philosophy, and possi-
bly, morality. The epoch is one prob
ably of transition and will last only as
long as the great natural wealth of
the country is being so rapidly devel-
oped and acquired.
when the natural resources are SO
used up and hedged about that the
present bonanza days come to an end.
then reaction will probably come
about, The lives now given up to the
hurry and strain of tempting competi-
tion will then be lived more sedately.
There will be time taken for study
and thought. Men will think more
and think deeper. Religion will regain
the ground it is now apparently losing.
The very wealth now distracting the
time and attention of men will then
be utilized in the development OF a
deeper intellectual and spiritual life
1t is not the first time in the history q
the world, nor will it be the last, when
an age may be characterized as "a vau@
