They had canned about 1000, 900
cans of corn at the Kelly Canning
factory, Tuesday night. 1t took about
$500 tons as it comes from the fields

to get in about 500 more tons and they
expect to fill 2,OO0,OO cans in all.

week, but they will run as long as

MARRIED TWICE IN ONE DAY.

Married twice in one day is record
hard to beat but that is the record of
Miss Gertrude Strehlon and Wayland
Carpenter, whose marriage took place
week ago. The circumstances are
these. The license was obtained at
Eikader and the nuptials were three
miles and half across the line in
Fayette county. The letter of the
law would necessitate the marriage
in the same county as the license was
issued. The marriage took place at
II O'Clock a, m.. but no one thought
of the statute until dark. When this
dawned upon them the couple were
driven across the line into Clayton
county ana a second ceremony was
performed

CIVILIZATION HOPPING

Women has not suffered alone
through the denial to her Of polit-
ical equality. The human race il
like man who through infancy.
youth and manhood, has compelled
his right leg to bear the burden of
his body, regarding the left merely
as an ornamental appendsge. to be
swung up BY supports, and tricked
out with ribbons. lace and jewelry.
The one limb would be nerveless
and feeble, the other lame and over
worked, and the progress OF the
body would be hating, uneven and
slow. So 1t is with the body poll
tic. With the acknowledgements of
women there will come a nobler era.
Then with interests that are idcnti-
cal, with humanity common to
both, the masculine head married to
the feminine heart, wisdom supple
mented with love, man and woman
shall together work out the great
problems of life, and nobler and
better civilization shall come to the
waiting future.

My Dear Sirs:-
1t having been conceded for
some time by very large number,
II not a large majority of the think,
ing and observing citizens of the
State, that "Tax Reform" is the
most important question now before
the voters of West Virginia; so i'm.
portant is this question that after
frequent aud persistent agitation Of
the subject, the Legislature at its
session in 1901 authorized the Gov
ernor OF the State. to appoint a
Commission whose duty il was TO
make report to that body upon
the question of so modifying our
tax laws, as to make taxation more
just and equitable; the Legislature
at its last session having refused to
take up, or consider the report of
this Commission. appointed by the
Governor, made in pursuance Of
the law. enacted by the Legislature
of 1901, which Commission was
composed of some of the ablest
men of the State, on the grounds
that the people were not sufficiently
informed on the question of the
Tag Reform as was desirable, and
therefore referred the question back
to the public for their further dis
cussion. / take the liberty to in
vite both, or either of you. to a
joint discussion of the question of
Tax Reform, at any time, place or
places you may select within the
bounds of the Second Congressional
District. ! propose to discuss the
affirmative of the proposition, while
I take it for granted that you will
desire to defend the pronunciamento
of the "twenty-eight which was
signed by both of you, which docu-
ment took the position that there
was no demand for change in our
tax laws at present, and that the
tax laws now governing the State
were much better than those pro-
posed by the Commission. 1 be-
lieve that the proposed change in
our tax laws, is question of such
vital importance to the tax payers
of the State, that they should have
all the light upon the question pos
sible.
You are both candidates for high
and important offices, and you both
having taken stand in opposition
to the Tax Reform measure, sub
ject of such vital Importance to the
tax payers of the State, as its Gov
ernor, and large number of its
leading citizens believe it to be, l
take it that you will not hesitate to
embrace the opportunity to dis
cuss the question before the people
and to explain to them why the pre-
sent inequitable tax system should
not be SO modified that the corpora
tons and other large industrial in
terests should be required to bear
their just share of the burdens of
State Government, and thereby re-
lieve the poorer classes of the in
equitable share of taxes they are
now, under our present laws, com
PEELED to assume.
Very Respectfully Yours,

Dear Sir:--I have received and read
your long and extraordinary letter. It's
false statements, its fierce arrogance,
Its base innuendoes can be charitably
construed only on one of two theories
% That you are insane; or t2) That
you are lineal descendant of that ASS

and who ever afterward regarded him
self as an authority in all religious
matters; from him have come down

ant and the whole trouble was over d
horse owned by Berrey which he claim.

which ran away. The defendant was
afterwards released on his own re-
cognizance.
Berrey claimed that while he and
his wife We're visiting the volcano,
Dunn borrowed Mrs. Berreys horse.
and that while being driven by Dunn.
the animal ran away, injuring itself
and damaging the phaeton. Berrey
testified that Dunn had admitted to him
taking the horse without permission,
saying that he simply wanted it to go
to town and hadn't time to wait for a
car.
attempted to show that Berrey was
simply using the criminal courts to
collect civil debt for damages. Berrey
admitted under cross examination that
he was willing to drop the prosecution
If Dunn had paid him for the damages
He had agreed to do this because

didn't want any trouble. He admit
ted also that he, had agreed to settle
for $50 which was what the horse had
cost him and that everything had been
satisfactory until Dunn had refused
to pay the amount.
The defense was that the horse and
buggy were not injured maliciously
and that the defendant had agreed to
pay the damages. Dunn denied that
he had taken the horse without leave
but said that he had been asked to
take care of the horse by Berrey's sis
ter and was attempting to exercise
the animal when it ran away. He tes-
titled also that he had paid for the
repairs to the carriage and that he !,
had also agreed to pay for the care
of the horse: also that the animal was
not seriously injured, simply sustain
ing few scratches. Dunn claimed
that the horse was hitched up for him
by the japanese servant who had been
left by Berrey in charge of the prop
erty.
A number of witnesses also testified
to the good character of Dunn. These
were Acting Paymaster Mac wilkle.
