Done by Two Young Men at
Louisa, Ky.
Tee" (Tilden) Skaggs and
Charlie Ross, two young fellows of
Louisa. amused themselves in the
Lawrence county capital last week
by walking about town and shoot
ing ont the street lights with a
double-barreled shotgun.
Town Marshal VIM Summons,
with his brother, Henry Summons.
ex-Deputy U. S. Marshal. proceed
ed down street to quell the disturb
ance. As the officers approached,
Skaggs drew bead ON Henry
Summons with the shotgun. Sam
mons, who is noted for his utter
fearlessness, walked deliberately up
to the muzzle of the weapon.
A bystandsr. seeing that Skaggs
was going to shoot, ran in and
turned the gun aside just as the
weapon was discharged, the charge
barely passing over Sammon's
shoulder. Summons knocked
Skaggs down and the latter, with
Ross, was looked up in the city
Jail.
Soon after they were looked up,
.Skaggs and Ross continued their
devilment by setting fire to the Jail
bedding, but the flames were ex-
tinguished ere much damage was
done.

MIR. Jones is Right.

Speaking of newspapers, Sam
Jones says: eff 1 wanted to get a
right square judgment, I'd rather go
in a newspaper Office than in court
of Justice. No man whose life is
true, pure and just is afraid of the
newspaper press in America.
They are the best detective force
in the country to-day. They have
punctured more shams, and SO far
as am concerned, 1 say take off
the bride and let them go. The
only ones that will be hurt will be
the shams and frauds. If you want
a paper to abandon any special
thing connected with the business
side of the paper, be consistent,
put up the money for that part of
the business or shut your mouth.

.-In-law.r

All of our leading papers give
the mother-in. law the semi-anuual
airing. And although it is time
honored joke, we would like to ask
why is she reviled and made out
a bossy. unwomanly creature: of
sour. kraut looks, and the father in
law in his easy chair. never mo-
Tested, or in fact the other -in-laws

Often the mother-in-law comes
into the new home as an angel of
mercy-sooths the weary young
home. makes and restores order
out of chaos Her visits are count
ed upon and she is often beloved
by husband and wife. And on the
other b and, the father in law is
often rude, dictatorial and makes
his room better than his company
to his sons wife, while the son is
often advised and lectured as if
still in knee-pants. He forgets
that his son is now man and has
taken unto himself wife," and
that "young America" believes
fully in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence."
And the sisters. too. their hearts,
and alasl tempers, also rise in re-
beliion. simply because John or Joe
seems to really think more of Sal

quently. her every action is watch.

Poor John, they say, SO different
from what he was use to be at
home, and John is ofteaer than
any other way glad of the change.
This world is often a struggle
for young couples until footing
is established and the new home
anchored securely against the
buffetings of fate. Then, why
should those. who are near. if not
always dear, make life harder for
the young. Or, in other words,
why not attend strictly to their
own business in life and let the
young couple alone if they cannot
help materially.

When the coal strike commits
sion was appointed it was supposed
the members would have to serve
for nothing, but Congress is now
about to come forward with an ap-
preparation for $4,000 to defray
the expenses of the commission.
The Federal employees who are
members of the board or who are
attached to its as recorders, are to
receive no salary, but will be allow
ed SIS a day for expenses. The
non Federal members are to re-
oeive $4,000 in salary. And thus
membership in the commission is
not such a thankless task after all.

Kanawha 81 Michigan halfway.

Kanawha 81 Michigan Railway.
Few people are aware of the
present usefulness and the future
possibilities of the Kanawha &
Michigan Railway. There is no
Railway in this country that skirts
along the border of richer coal
fields and through a more fertile
valley than does this railway from
the historic town of Point Pleas
ant to the present terminus of the
Railway at Ganley Bridge. In re-
atty the Kanawha & Michigan
Railway does not terminate there,
because at that point it has trans
fer connections direct with the o.
60, and hence for travel and
freight on to tide water and all
points East and South.
The industrial developments
along this portion of the K. & M.
are among the best in the land.
For instance between here and
Charleston are the Black Betsy, the
Plymouth and the Marmet coal
operations, producing coal that sells
unchallenged in the markets of the
great West Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Toledo. Detroit. Chicago, Milwau-
kee. and all along the Lakes, fire.
sides are warmed by these fine
GOALS.
Then there are large lumber
plants The Knight Lumber Co.
and the Mohler Lumber Co. are
not surpassed anywhere. Their
output is enormous.
And again, one of the largest of
brick plants is. located below Char
lesion. and a fine tile and brick
plant is located and in full opera
ton at this place.
When you leave Charleston 60
ing towards GauIey Bridge. you
encounter veritable and continu-
ous hive of industries. The frequen.
cy of the stops reminds one of the
street car route in some city.
1t is SO miles from Charleston to
Gauley Bridge and there 81 stops.
What has produced this develop
mentP What will make, eventually,
and in not far distant future, city
all along that portion of the Ka-
nawha valleyP The fine Goals in
the mountains overhanging it.
There is the touch stone to the
present prosperity. and the key to
what the future will surely bring.
IL would require pages to de-
scribe all of the operations under
headway and contemplated in that
section.
1t is fact that the Ksnawha &
Michigan Railway is the powerful
force back of this progress, sustain
ing and pushing it
The men in charge of this Rail-
way dipped into the future, far as
human eye could see, saw the wis.,
ion of the world and all the won
ders that are to be-" Such men
deserve praise and should be re-
membered. We are glad to be-
