KILLED NEAR BLOOMINGTON.
A Fireman Named RhOades, Son of Wn
Rhoades, of This County.

A Fireman Named Rhoades, Son of VIM
Rhoades, of This County.
Yesterday morning a young mar
named Rhoades, the fireman on the
westbound local freight, was killed
almost instantly by being run oyer
by the tender of his train as it was
coming up the Seventen-mile grade
at a point near Bloomington.
The fireman, a son of VIM. Rhoades
of near Hitchcock's Tunnel, in Dis
trict No. 4, this county, was shovel
ing coal into the firebox of the loco
motive and was standing on a sheet
of iron known as an apron con
Meeting the tender and engine, wheI
the latter broke away. This caused
the apron to drop precipitating the
unfortunate young man to the track
and as helping engine was pushing
at the rear of the train the momen
tum was so great that the wheels O.
the tender passed over his body sew
ering it in twain and resulting in hi
instant death.
His funeral will take place today
from his late home.

CHIEF OF POLICE SHOT.
Capt. A. n. Wilmoth Murdered at wom-
elsdOrf, West Va, While Trying
TO Ouell "A Riot

Capt. A. n. WilmOth Murdered at Wom-
elsdorf, West Va, While Trying
to Quen Riot.
Chief OF Police A. N Wilmoth was
shot through the heart at Womels-
dorf, W. Va, at 10 o'clock Tuesday
night and instantly killed.
A gang of negroes employed on the
Roaring Greek and Charleston rail
road were assembled in a school house
for some purpose when a riot oc-
Cured.
Captain Wilmoth went to the build
ing to quell the trouble and as he en-
tered the room he was shot by some
one in the crowd.
1t was not known at the time which
one of the negroes fired the shot but
it was reported yesterday that a ne
gro had been arrested and that a
lynching would likely follow. Fur
ther particulars are lacking.
Womelsdorf is a town of about SOC
inhabitants. 1t is located on the
above railroad and is II miles from
Elkins.
The excitement over the affair is
increased by the fact that the chief of
police at Elkins was murdered by a
negro not many months ago, the lat
ter having been lynched later.

THOSE who callsthemselves Demo-
Gratis are out in the wilderness trying
to find an issue on which to defeat
the Republicans. They should re-
member that no issue can be settled
upon until Cleveland, Watterson,
Bryan and a few others haYe come to
some sort of an agreement as to what
a Democrat is. A Garrett Demo
crat is fellow who wants an office,
and it is hard matter to get him to
say whether he is a Cleveland Demo
crat or a Bryan Democrat.

GORMANIA.

Farmers have begun to harvest their
hay. The crop as rule is not as
good as it was last year. The oats
crop out i'll the mountains is gener-
ally good.
The festival that was held in Kings
hall at this place last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday evenings was a
grand success. 1t was given in the
interest of the Uniform Rank of the
Knights of Pythias recently organ
lied at this place. The company mad e
their appearance on the streets for
the first time on last Saturday even
ing dressed in their new uniforms.
There are prospects of this point
becoming a coal mining center in the
near future. There are some Goa |
prospectOrs here from Philadelphia.
They are engaged in opening up a
mine about one mile below German ia
on the West Virginia side of the
river. The mine that they are open
ing is a siXfoot vein. Just what the
quality of the coal will be yet remains
to be seen. The Davis Coal and Cox e
Company is sinking a shaft on the
hill above Mailman, just about four
miles below Gormania. The people
of this section would be more than
glad if those prospectors would sue
coed in finding coal of a good quality
as the numbering interests in this i'm
mediate section will soon be thing
of the past and there will be no en-
terprises of any kind outside OF the
tannery.
j. G. Scott, who was engaged as
head salesman in Wolfe & Beckman's
store at this place, has accepted a
position as salesman in company
store at Redwood in Nicholas county,
w. Va, and likes his new position
very well.

AN exchange asks; Do you remem-
Der of any banks breaking in 1898 and
1892 Did You hear of any factories
closing at that time? Do you know
whether wages were high and EN-

remember what was the price of
wheat? OF wool? OF cattle and sheepz
How much could you get for a good

If you do you ought to be bored for

THURSDAY, JULY "a, 1902.
THE PLIGHT OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY,

The careful observer of National
politics is impressed with the sorry
plight of the Democratic party in
its search for an issue Under the
banner of tariff reform" Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected to the Presidency,
that brought disaster to the business
interests of the country, paralyzed
trade and threw thousands out of
employment. Depression and disas-
tiers covered the land of the free and
the home of the brave" The country
staggered under the load. With the
overwhelming evidence of the disaster
wrought by it, it became plain to the
Democratic leaders that they must
shift the blame. This was the birth
of the free silver craze which took
complete possession of the Democrat
ic party and resulted in the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Bryan. The wonder is
that a suffering nation did not catch
at this straw. The Republican party,
in this crisis, demonstrated its great
capacity for the responsibility of gov
eminent, by pointing out the cause
of the trouble and by rallying the
country in favor of a sound and sta
BILE currency based upon the gold
standard. The people met the great
issue and decided it by electing Nc
Kinley. The splendid vindication of
the Republican policy came with I'M
exampled rapidity. Confidence was
restored business revived and an era
OF prosperity entered upon which has
given the United States the proud
distinction of being the most prosper
Gus nation on the face of the globe.
War with foreign foe came, and
with it victory to the American arms.
New responsibilities came, and were
met in broad and statesmanlike
manner. Fear of imperialism and of
a large standing army seized upon the
Democratic party. This issue was
met and Mckinley was again entrust-
ed with power. Today Cuba is free,
civil government is established in the
Philippines and the problems con-
nected Herewith are being solved in
manner thoroughly consistent with
our best traditions as a free and lib
erty loving people. The United States
has gone forward fulfilling her duties
to herself and assuming her rightful
place among the family of Nations.
In war and in peace the Republican
party can be trusted to do the right
thing at the right time, and in the
best way. Today, when the Demo-
cratic leaders are talking harmony
and searching for an issue" with
the idea of letting the past, with its
blunders, be forgotten, this issue
naturally presents itself: Shall the
Democratic party, with it's dreadful
record of disaster, be again given
power? The answer to this great is
sue must be given by the people, and
they can be trusted to answer it right.

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the shenan
doah Valley.

uodh NdIleys
Where the three States of Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland come
together; where the Potomac and
Shenandoah Rivers unite; where the
towering sleeps of the Blue Ridge
end abruptly, frowning upon the
heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quaint historic town of Harper's
Ferry. John Brown baptized it in
blood in 1859, when he captured the
town and U. S. Arsenal and made his
final and fatal stand in the engine
house (known afterwards as John
Browns Fort, alongside the Balti-
more q Ohio Railroad. A plain shaft,
simply inscribed, now marks the loca-
ton.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's
Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenan-
doah Division of the Baltimore 81
Ohio R. r. extends southwark to
Charlestown, Winchester, Harrison
burg and Lexington. Battlefelds
surround the village in all directions.
