SLOWS REPORT.
Says the People Are Not Much Inter
ested IN Il and Desire no Radical
chauge-Is Not Political
Issue.

Parkersburg, w Va Aug. 24.-Hon-
W. E. Haymond, Of Sutton, Braxton
county. was in the city yesterday, and
while here chatted with reporter very
pleasantly on aifTairs OF political and pub,
lie interest. NJ. Raymond was the Dsra
oeratic candidate against Captain D6S=
ener one year and made credftabie
showing at the polls, although he was
defeated
Mr.. Raymond believes that the Dem
ocratic party win nominate Stewart w.
Walker for governor, but he does not
believe that the tax commission bills
will be made a partisan issue.
ut would be suicidal, IN my judg-
ment,' - said he, s'for either of the parties
to stand sponsor for those bill
best Thought of the state is widely
vided on them, and the leaders of both
parties are at variance as to their merit.
The question is assuredly not partisan
one now, because that IS plainly evi-
dent from the personnel of the signers
to the address issued to the people OPP
posing those bills. Nor will it become
a partisan issue for the reason that no
party can afford to stand for them.
.sThe people of the state, that is, the
general public, are very little interested.
in this proposed new system Of taxation,
and I doubt whether an aroused interest
upon their part will rebound to an in
creased favorable sentiment in favor Of
doing away with the old and adopting
the new system. The people are loathe
to make radical changes, particularly
changing some law that is old upon the
statute books and does its work IN a
fairly acceptable manner. don't think
the people care much about it at all and
are very little concerned in the agita-
tion that is going on over this question"

sthre. A generous quantity of whisky
,as,d other liquors was found.
The officers took their prisoners in
,chnree, but as it was rather late, they
could not bring their prisoners to clarks-

ed the mine boss for his tools. The lat
ter claimed that Kelley owed the. coni-
many some money and he told him ie
could not have them. The quarrel en-
sued and Cromcr pulled his revolver and
shot Kelley. The bullet entered close to
the heart, just a little below it.
Kelley lies at the Kcsslcr hospitnL,
where he was taken after the shooting
in a very critical condition with very
slim chances for recovery.
Saturday afternoon the physicians nj
the hospital performed very serious
operation upon him. The abdomen was
cut open and the stomach and intcstincs
removed in order that the wound could
be dressed. The perforations made by
the bullet were dressed and scwd to-
gthcr and the wound closed and sewed
up aftr the intestinal organs had been
properly dressed.
The attending physicians have grave
doubts for 1<elley's recovery. Yet lie
has fighting chance and may possibly
! pull through.

AND HOME AND VISITING
BANDS.
Park Was ovsrrun with visitors, Five
Thousand or Eore Being m Attend
anee at the Concert.

Sundays excursions to this city from
Wheeling and Fairmont were successful
in every way. The train from Fair
mont brought eight we1l-flled coaches
aud arrived about o'clock, JunIlius'
band accompanied these excursionists and
went to the park in a special car, where
they remained throughout the day, fIr-
nishing from time to time most excel
lent music The train from Wheeling
and New MartinsvilIe over the Short
Line arrived shortly before the noon hour
and brought eight coaches also They
were better filled than even the Fair
mont eoaches. The New 8Iartinsvilie
band was with this big crowd, and It
went to the park at once, too. The total
number coming ON these two trains
reached about 200, but there were a
great many more, who came in on the
various Trains, so that the city was over
run with visitors.
The street cars hauled them to the
park as speedily as possible and they
spent most of the day there, enjoying
the attractions and comforts the park
lords. Refreshments were served on
the grounds and the restaurants. and no
tells were weIl prepared for them, so that
none went hungry. Dinner was served
to the band boys in the casino.
In the afternon there was an espec-
iaIIy large attendance at the park, not
only of the visitors. but the townsPeoPle
as well. The rush was 50 great that it
was with difficulty the street cars han
died the crowds successfully, but this
was done with much more satisfaction
than one would expect. considering the
immense multitude. There were proba-
bly, 5000 people in the park at one time
The principle attraction was the CON
certs by the two visiting bands and the
ClarIssburg Opera House band, JunlSfRs
and the clarksburg bands being close
contestants for honors. The New Mar,

furnished some very credItable music

system OF wires was united with the
earth by q large chain.
The enemies of Dlwisch, Jealous Of

the neighborhood against him. claiming
that his invention was the cause of the
dry weather that was running their
crops. When the inventor laughed at

that comparatively light pressure is
sufficient TO make It sway. Hindoo
priests teach their followers that this
rock was placed In position by the help
Of the gods, and thus they add consid-
erably 10 the feeling Of awe which they
desire 90 create.
Worshipers nc this shrine must first
make perilous ascent of the noun
tain. Then they spend seven days OF
preparation in temple built on the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted 10 make the final passage 10 the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
this Ii Is necessary 10 cross q bridge
over n great chasm, for nature and
man have combined TO make this Hin
doc shrine difficult Of access. After
crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts
Il ladder, To which he cllngs In terror
for his life here and In the hereafter
The temple on the rock is necessarily
small. Three priests ofiiciate there,
but its mysteries no man IS permitted
to reveal. Europeans have seen IT only
from q distance.
