work, and will find that none of the
Wisconsin dealers were responsible for
the coal shortage and will exonerate To-

ers are at the mercy of the mine owners
and must sell coal except in some isolat-
ed cases at prices fixed at the mines.

A FEW LEGISLATIVE Jors.

The first executive veto of the present
session was sent in last Tuesday morn
ing, when Gov. La Toilette vetoed the
assembly bill which called for the en-
ployment of twenty. one additional he'll
pers in the two houses. The governor
gave as his reasons that the last session
of the legislature, one of its last acts,
was to fix law governing such service,
prescribing ninety-fve employees. He
believed the late session was competent
to Judge of the needed help about the
legislature. The veto was sustained GA
to "a in the assembly. The so-called
stalwarts have attempted to make 1t APP
pear that the governor in this, is inter
ferirg with the business af a coordinate
branch of the state service If so, the
people will be well satisfied with his in
terfe ~ence. 1t will save to them over
81, 900 zach legislative month. In the
floor discussion on this veto Assembly
man Dahl 'rought down the house by
making the statement that the legisla-
tive chambers had long been known as
asylums for the needy, but he saw no
necessity for turning them into poor
houses.

Almost everyone who ever trav-

have not, will remember of hearing
the upper cabin where the crew is
housed spoken of as the Texas"
But very few persons know how
this term originated and we give
an explanation below that we heard
recently In the sos and4O's the
staterooms of the palatial steamers
that plyed the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers were named for the
various states in the Union. After
the Mexican war when Texas was
admitted to statehood the rooms in
the main cabin all being named the
appellation was affixed to the sleep.
ing quarters of the crew. In these
latter days the names on the rooms
have all been superseded by num-
bers, the Texas" being the only
one remaining.

Hon. w. S. Wiley Dead.

The Hon. W. S. Wiley, banker,

known and most highly respected
residents of Wetzel county, died
at his home in New Martinsville,
Tuesday morning, January 10th,
1903, at 2 O'Clock, after an illness
of two months. He has been crit
ically ill and Tuesday all hope of
his recovery was abandoned, SO the
end was not unexpected. He died
peacefully, surrounded by his
friends.
Mr.. Wiley was SO years of age,
and is survived by one daughter,
Mrs G. E. Westerman, wife of the
mayor of New Martinsville.
He was one of the leading attor-
neys of the Wetzel county bar, for
twenty-six years was associated
with Colonel Robert McEldowney
as owner and proprietor of the
Wetzel Democrat, one of the lead
ing weekly papers of the State, and
for a good many years past has
been president of the Wetzel Coun-
ty Bank.
The funeral took place last We'd
nesdsy afternoon.

SnbscriptIon Laws.

Many readers have from time to
time requested information con-
corning newspaper subscription
laws. Seven have been compiled
from decisions of the United States
Court, and embody points that
bother many newspaper publishers.
The seven are:
1. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the dis.
continuance of their periodicals
the publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
3. IL subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoffice to which they are di-
rected they are responsible until
they have settled their bill and or
dered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub.
fishers and the papers are sent to
the former address they are held
responsible.
8. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from
the Office or removing and having
them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.
6 If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it, other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it and the subscriber be re-
sponsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arrearages is
sent to the publisher.
Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest any one for fraud who takes
paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who al
lows his subscription to run along |
for some time unpaid and then or
ders it discontinued, or orders the
postmaster to mark it refused"
aud have postal card sent notify
ing the publishers, leaves himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same
as for theft.
1t will seem that many disputed
points are disposed of by these de-
cisions, which are certainly only
just, If subscriber doesn't want
to renew his subscription let him
notify the publisher. The second
decision given here will be sur
prise to some publishers, who be-
lieved they must stop delinquent
subscribers paper if ordered to.
The delinquent must pay up if
he desires to continue his subscrip.
ton. Otherwise he is held re.
sponsible for as long as the paper
is bling sent to him, whether he
takes it from the postofice or not !

Fruits and Flowers.

y
In setting out an orchard keep
together all trees of the same va
riety.
Good garden soil is good for
pot plants, but can be improved
by the addition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be
made to grow by giving them an
occasional watering with liquid
manure.
One advantage with small fruits
is that they can be made to furnish
a supply long before trees come in
to bearing.
In planting border don't plant
everything in rows. A ROW of hol
lyhooks, for instance, isn't half as
attractive as irregularly placed
groups that break the outline.
With pot plants in general
way too little water is better than
too much. The dropping leaves
indicating drought are more easily
remedied than yellow leaves the
result of being kept too wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery
in the bottom should never be
omitted. as without proper drain
age the soil becomes sour, the
plants anguish and the leaves be-
come yellowisb.
