JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN.
SICA n of the Farmers in and Near
Parkersburg When Hearing of An
nual Visit of Guardsmen.

The National Guardsmen will get
a warm welcome in Parkersburg. If
any of them venture out in the coun-
try the welcome there will be warm.
Only different. What may happen
is told in the following special from
the second city:
Since it has been made known
that the National Guard encamp
ment is to be held here again, special
preparations have been made by
those who suffered from their depred
atoms last year to give them a warm
welcome this year. Every chicken
house for several miles along the
Northwestern Pike was robbed last
year and the track Of feathers was
traced straight to the camp. Efforts
were made last year by several farmer
to secure reparation but they could
get no. satisfaction. Corn fields were
robbed last year and the farmers
east of town have heard with con-
sternation that the soldiers are COM
ing back again.
But they will be better prepared
this year for the marauders. A gen
tleman who came in from the pike
today says that not only are the PEG
pie out that way putting padlocks
on their chichen coops, but that they
are getting out their guns and load
ing them up for use, and it will 60
hard with the National Guardsmaa
who is caught trying to forage on
the farms near town this year. The
farmers have found both civil and
military authorities helpless and
will look after their own rights this
year

WAS MRS. sRUMAN MuRDEKEDg
Neighbors and Physicians say that she
Could not kill herself as she did.

The report is in circulation that
many neighbors Of Mrs. Coleman Shu-
man,of McCurdysville, who was found
dead and reported as suicide Satur-
day, believe that she was murdered
and that she did not FIRE the fatal shot
herself. DR.. LeBlond, who examined
the remains stated that he did not
see how the woman could have fired
the shot herself, as her scalp around
the bullet hole was not IL the least
powder burnt.
Judge Google, who held the coro-
ner's inquest, thinks that the suicide
theory is the correct one. 1t is rumor-
ed that Mrs. Shuman left letters for
her people telling them that she was
going to kill herself, but 1t
appears these letters were not
shown at the coroners inquest.

EaSlWaFu.
That the b. d O. is in earnest Ia
regard to the short line from Wheel
ing to Cumberland may be Learned
from facts which have come to the
surface in this and other counties
recently. Many people have ex-
pressed doubts as to the route being
constructed
Those who are conversant with
the movements of the company have
no doubt that the line will he built
and that very soon.
Final locations of the road have
been made and the route has been
selected. Rev. NJ. o. Wilson of
Cheat Haven is in the county. He
does not talk for publication but 1t
is learned from reliable sources that
he is here to buy rights of way for
the road.
That it is to be through trunk
line may be seen: when it is stated
that the right of way is to be 100
feet wide instead of 66 feet as usual
when the line is not of the first
class. This will give the road room
for double tracks and for all passing
sidings which may be needed.
After the right of-way is purchas-
ed there will be no need in the future
to get additional room.
The route from here to Confluence
passes from point near West Run
through the farm of the late Thom-
as Haldeman and thence by way of
Easton to point near Squirrel Rock
where it crosses Cheat River over
very high bridge. From there it
goes by direct line to Confluence.
The bridge over the Monongahela
below town will also be very high
one
The road runs from here west
ward to point near Cameron and
then into Wheeling. From its
elevated appearance it has been
dubbed the "Star Line
As stated in this paper heretofore
the road will cut off about sixty
miles in the distance between Wheel
ing and Cumberland. This is no
small item when it is known that
the present route is but 200 miles in
length. It will also eliminate MANY
OF the heavy grades and sharp
curves of the old route.
The road will be used for all
through business from east and
west which does not have to go by
way Of Plttsburg.

TO the Editor of the New Dominion.
| / do not know that any thing eman-
ating from a country taxpayer on the
subject of good roads will be appreci-
ated, but after many learned gentle
men have exhausted on paper the
theory of good roads, some few and
only few have ever reached a con-
clusion. Prof. Wiley tells the
people in a letter to the NEW DoMIN-
ION how we can have better roads by
the adoption Of the Alternate road
law. He is right and to the point in
what he says. Others again under
the supervision Of the President of the
County Court his soil ''Rert" and sur
yeyor Of roads G. w. Frum have been
giving the taxpayers of this county a
practical lesson in the building of good
roads in the lower end OF Grant Dis
trict, and the query arises when will
they come to a conclusion to quit.
Judging from the past will say in
about years or until the County
Treasury is empty, or they make
enough off the taxpayers OF this coun-
ty to retire. The people are in favor
of better roads under system that
will admit Of no fayoritism, free from
the dietatiCn of one man power If he
does occupy at present throne.
Now it is well known fact that
what is good of the present road law
is not enforced. Sec. chap, 43 If COM
piled with would save the people of
this county five thousand dollars out
of the twenty five thousand expended
annually on the roads. If there Is
any other law contained in the code
Of w. Va. authorizing the County
Courty to erect gates across the pub
lie roads to be opened to some and
closed to others, except as found IN
Sec % chap. 43 compiled 1891, we
ask the President of the County Court
to produce it.
The people who own the roads in
fee simple and not the court for the
court only owning in trust did not
petition to erect the gates, nor would
they object for day or so if absolute
ly necessary and no discrimination was
made as to part of the people VINO are
compelled to reach the county seat, but
Judging from the past and the COM
pletion of few rods of this road in
10 months when in the life time Of
the present taxpayers will this matter
end?
Why this vast sum of money paid
into the County Treasury by the hard
working people of Battelle, Clay, Cass,
Grant, Union, Morgan and Clinton?
l repeat why all this money be con-
centrated on few rods of road leading
to Granville when the same road not
mile below has not been worked for
IL months? The explanation and am
swer to the above is easy,
The people who foot the bills, pay
the taxes, and at one time owned the
roads have no rights that are respect
ed or consulted any more.

about the trip.
He said that he was in good health,
and had recently made trip of 278

Divided Factions of Populists
Amalgamate Into One
Body at Denver.
UNITED PEOPLES PARTY POLICY
M Past Differences Amicabiy Settled.
No AffiIiation With Old Parties Will
Be oIerated-Patriotic Citizens In
vited to Join in March to Victory.

Denver, July 20. = Amalgamation
into one party was effected by the two
factions of the Peoples party in ma
tional conference.
The following address was reported
by the committee on resolutions and
was adopted:
The manifest unrest which every
where appears in the nation demon
strates the dissatisfaction of the Amer
lean people with the present manage,
ment of government and argues the
necessity of the reform forces coming
together in united action at the bal
lot box to obtain proper legislation,
whereby the right of the people to
self government may be had for them.
selves and their posterity.
Therefore, we, the Populists of the
United States, having this day at the
city of Denver united forces with the
distinct understanding that all past
differences as to policy shall be and
now are permanently settled, and ex-
perience having demonstrated the fu-
tility of any attempt to secure the en-
actment of our truth either through
the Republican or Democratic parties,
we believe the time is now at hand
when the united Peoples party should
declare itself emphatically opposed to
any affiliation with either of these
parties and unqualifedly in favor of
national political action.
Principles Espoused.
"OuE fundamental principles are
known to all Popu1ists, and are no.
where better stated than in that i'm
mortal document enunciated at Oma-
ha, July 4. 1898 However, for the
benefit of the uniformed we declare
our unyielding adherence to the de-
mands for ta) a money, whether
stamped on gold, silver or paper, to
be coined and issued exclusively by
the government and made full legal
tender for all debts, both public and
private; (b) a system of transporta-
ton and the transmission of intelli-
gence owned by the public and operat-
ed by the government at the cost Of
service; (c) land for use rather than
IOl speculation anu dDOllllOH Ol dll6u
ownership of land; I'D American ships
for American foreign commerce, with
out cent of subsidy.
And as an open door for all eco.
nomic reforms we urge the rule of the
people through the optional referen-
dunn and initiative and the recall Of
derelict officials
Confident in the justice of the
principles here set forth, firmly conf
dent that their triumph in government
would be for the best interests of the
people, we call upon the patriotic citi-
zens of this country to join with us in
bringing about their enactment into
law. With these principles firmly es-
tablished, equal justice would prevail,
special privileges would be eliminated
and ours would be, as patriots every
where desire, government of the peo-
pie, for the people. by the people"
