by a Passenger Taain.

Engineer Isaac Ruble, of the West
Virginia & Pittsburg division of the

AFTER
Thirteen Long Years, Mother and Son
are Reunited at Huntington.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, May r.
Through the efforts of Morris Davis,
Chief of Police of Huntington, a
mother in this city has been placed
in communication with her son who
ran away with Robinson's circus IL
years ago. The son, VIM. III. France
is now a prosperous commission mer-
chant of New Orleans, while the
mother, Ella France, is poor widow
woman of this city, who has had a
hard time to keep the wolf from the
door since the death of her husband
some eight years ago. On the 9th
of last month the chief received a
letter from Mr.. France asking him
if he could locate his mother, and he
willingly complied, and found her in
this city. When the boy ran away
from home they were living in the
country During all the years since
1889 the gray haired old mother,
with devotion that only mother
knows, made diligent search for her
boy, advertising in the leading dali
lies, but never word did she hear
of her truant lad until the chiel
called on her and showed her the let
ter. Her joy knew no bounds. A
letter was at once mailed to the son
in the Crescent City, and ere this is
read mother and son will have been
placed in communication with each
other.

A SrRAGE CASE
Against Farmer Oliver Hamilton His
Case Tried at Cumberland Compp
Gated One.

CabCu OnCs
CUMBERLAND. Md, May l3-The
most remarkable case ever tried here
reported TO the jury Saturday. Oil
yer Weston Hamilton, farmer, aged
30, was charged with assaulting
Phoebe Wigfield, aged 10, and then
compelling her to accompany him to
che home of his brother, where at
the point of revolver he forced her
to marry him. He kept her pris-
oner tor three days. After taking
testimony for three days and the
case was ready to be argued, it de-
yeloped that the assault was commit
ted in another county. The attor-
ney for the state then asked that
the case be not prosecuted as he al
legged "no jurisdiction" Saturday
he withdrew his objection to the
prosecution and went ahead with
the trial, claiming jurisdiction be
cause the last named offense had
been committed in this county,
which fact had been overlooked
when the case was abandoned. If
convicted the penalty is death.

Legitimate Competition.

-
Suppose new bank should be eS-
tabliShed in Phillipsburg. Would any
honest man question the right of it's
members to begin business if they
saw fit to do SO? Would the two other
banks already established be justified
in slandering and villifyipg the new
institution? No, to both ques tions,
will be the answer that Immediately
comes to every fairminded reader.
Some weeks ago a new store was
Istarted in Phillipshurg. Who ques-
toned the right of it's owner to enter
the mercantile business in this city,
How many Of the merchants already
here began to SANDER and Yillify the
new business man hoping by this
means to run him out, and who queS-
toned his object in coming here?
How many of the citizens of the town
said there are stores enough in town
already we do not want any more?
But now an old paper is placed
under the control Of q pew man and
it advocates d1lAAeGeat political views
than 1t did formerly. The result is
that both of the other republican
papers have attacked the Hera!5 rs IL
is under the new degiMe, With only
one Thought ana pqspose in view.
That tg 80 run the Herald out of
business, and there seems to be no
Scruples or hesitation about the meth
DDS to be perSued in doing il,
Why would new bank start? Why
did the new store locate and begin
business here? One answer does for
both. 1t was because the proprietorS
wished to do so; because they desired
to build up business for them selves
and thereby gain an honest livel ihood.
Reader, this is the point the editor
wishes to impress upon you The
Herald was purchased by him because
he had desire to enter the newSpa-
per profession and to make an honest
living in that way and he preferred to
engage in business in his home town.
Can you question his God given right
to do SO?
Further the editor disclaimS any in
tention of aiming to run any other
paper out of business. AS stated in
the Herald last week, perfect ia irness
shall characterize all its actions with
patrons and tbs public.
There is such thing as legitimate
competition in the newspaper profess
sion as well as any other.
1t may be stated as general rule
that any active business enterprise is
benefit to the community in which
it is located. The people of the city
and county so regard the new store
Why should they not SO regard the
''new Herald?"
Finally, the Herald still affirm.
that its policy shall be one of perfect
fairness TO all concerned, and that il
viii SO treat the Dispatch and News
whether, or not, it is so treated by
them. In business transactions il
viii meet any legitimate competition
and it will stand for the high princi
pies and ideals which were pla inly sci
forth in the preceding issue. The
editor feels confident that a fair.
minded public, will not condemn be,
cause of the malicious attacks OF
| jealous and avarlcious rivals.

Changes Wanted in the Ballot Law.

The new law governing the ballot
in Kansas ought to be amended by the
incoming legislature. More than
thirty Thousand citizens have been
diSfranchiSed because they did not
mark their ballots exactly as the new
law directs. The point the Herald
makes is that a ballot that can not be
voted correctly without ten per cent
of the voters losing their vote needs
Simplitication and needs it badly. A
law governing the manner of voting,
that ignores the constitutional right
of the citizen to be heard at the ballot
box, that does not recognize the in
tention OF his ballot, ought to be
changed. No technicalitieS or unnec-
eSsary difficulties should be placed in
the way of the voter expressing his
preferences in his vote. That sort of
thing is all right in Missouri or South
Carolina where they are proud of the
injustice that defeats the will of the
voter, but it is not called for nor
should it be tolerated in Kansas.
The plain truth OF the matter is
that the law was intended to be a
stumbling block for fusion and is
very small and unnecessary advantage
to take In q republican state by repub-
licans. Every voter has the right to
have his judgment recorded at the
ballot box without danger of having
it defeated by technical and poorly
understood details as to the manner
of marking his ticket.-Topeka Herald

Zine Herald Changes Hands.

The Herald of this city, which, in
the early history of Phillips county,
was the republican organ of the county
changed its politics in 1891, only be-
cause the majority of the board Of
county commissioners ySre pQpuliSts
and the majority Of the voters in the
county belonging to that party, For
almost twelve yeacS it has been pub
llshed as populist paper, but with a
democratic editor a portion of the
time. -
1t has how been purchased by a
young man who was defeated for the
nomination for county clerk in the re-
publican county convention last sum-
mer, and who did all in his power to
defeat the man who honestly defeated
him in that convention. Now this is
what the paper Claims, but great
majority of the people believe that
VLyman Mattespn is oplF figure head
and that the paper is the property Of
q corporation composed of men in this
city who style themselves "boSS
BUSTERS" and who also did everything
In their power to defeat the entire re-
publican ticket in this county, includ-
ing Congressman Reeder and Judge
Hamilton.
We are informed that Mr.. MatteSon
says he will advocate republican prin-
cipleS in his paper and support the
party, but just how he expects to purge
himself for the defeat Of the party
which he and his co-workers succeeded
in bringing about, we must Of course
wait for him to say in the columns of
his paper.
Lyman r4attehon lsa very nice young
nan and we like him very much. He
has a good education and while he
has never had any experience in the
newspaper business, yet we predict
that he will be able to publish very
interesting newspaper. In whatever
we may say of our young oppone Mt, we
dnnot wish to have it understood as
applying to him as an individual. We
have only the kindlieSt feeling for
him and financially we can wish him
only the very best of success, but as
the new editor of the Herald, he is
not the pleasant young man he was
when acting as deputy county clerk
and expert accountant, and he now
appears in the role of leader of the
boilers and as one who rejoices at the
defeat Of the ticket.
We chall houa ~ ohoora No ~,
materially if we can ever take that
kind Of an individual very close to our
political heart. There is another
treason why we fear that our path
lind that OF our former young friend
may lead in opposite directions and
that is, we don't believe that he has
bought the Herald at all, but we dc
believe that it has been purchased by a
corporation formed Of men in this city
who organized the opposition to the
republican party this fall and who in
their secret meetings have resolved
"That the Dispatch will have to CO.
We don't believe the third republi-
can paper In this city can make a sue
cess without the failure of those al
ready here, and while we have no de-
sire to quarrel with our former friend,
yet belleveing as we do, that we can
not all make a success, we shall
endeavor to try and make the Dispatch
what 1t has always been, the best
newspaper in the county, and if we dc
this, the people will read IL. We shall
