GIRL STUDENTS

.ScfTled a Dispute With
PisfoES.

Recent cable dispatches brought an
account OF q tragic affair that occurred
recently in the students quarters o.
st. Petersburg. the principals being
two girl students. The story is most
dramatic. One Of the girls made the
acquaintance Of a young man Of good
family and became secretly engaged to
him. Shortly afterward she introduced
to her fiance another young girl, an in
timate friend of her own. At this
point the tragedy began, for the tickle
lover Immediately fell deeply In love
with his fancee's friend, and. what
was still worse. the attachment was
mutual.
The girls, however, true to their
friendship, had no secrets from one an
other. and the newcomer confided to
the betrothed girl the fact that she and
the young man were in love. The two
girls were in despair and at length de-
termined that the death Of one OF them
offered the only solution of the difficult
ty. They accordingly resolved upon
fighting what the Russians call an
American DUEL
Locking themselves in room with q
revolver, they drew lots, and 1t fell out

tersville, April 2.
A lady novelist firmly takes the
position that we are making a vital
mistake In banishing religious
teaching from our public schools.
If this continues, says she, "the
next generation of American men
and women who have been trained
In the public school. will be merely
educated animals, with no higher
motives In their work than the
poor little monkeys on the street,
who have been taught to dance to
earn their living. Are we the only
people on the earth who give their
sons and daughters no higher mo-
tive In life than expediency? Even
the Cannibal on the Kongo believes
that an unseen something, bigger
and better than himself, Is hidden
In a certain tree, and he will not
hack at that tree, nor burn 1t down.
But the American boy Is to be
taught to believe In nothing bigger
or better than himself-nothing
which he cannot hack down or
burn at will.

COMMUNICATED.

If the Republican voters OF
the State of West Virginia really
understood the real issue before
them in the present campaign for
Governor they would rise up en-
masse and elect Hon. w. M. o.
Dawson. Mr.. Dawson represents
everything that is for the adj
vancement of the Republican
party and the people in general.
Mr.. Dawson is for tax reform
that would make the corporations
of the state pay their just proper
ton of taxes. Now the corpor-
atoms do not want Mr.. Dawson,
and it is even said that they are
furnishing the funds to defeat
him. There is nothing surprising
in this statement. Corporations
that have been convicted OF bri-
berry and lawlessness and corrup-
ton do not want Mr.. Dawson for
Governor. We know they send
their powerful lobbyists to our
legislature to defeat any real re-
form that is suggested. They de-
feated the last attempts at tax
reform in our last Legislature.
The Republican party should
it refuse to take up the mater OF
tax reform must 60 to sure defeat
The people always hold the power
in there own hands. Ii we do
not suit the requirements of the
public they will dethrone us for
betraying the trust that has been
placed in us.
The real enemies of Hon. Mr..
Dawson are the corporations that
do not pay their proper proper
ton of taxes. They leave their
hirelings to print derogatory
statements about him in order
that the real truth may be OBJ
scured. 1t is true that Mr.. Daw-
son has received considerable
money from his office. He has
served the public faithfully and
we'll he would be successful in
any line of work and the public
has right to pay him for the SER
vice that he has rendered. Now
let the people be wise in their
choice and listen to the demands
of the people.

IF siiey would only investigate
the different makes before de-
siding on the purchase, there
would be fewer repair shops

and a gear there, and loaded
down with a lot Of inventions,
most people say, That must be

In a little while, to keep it 60
ing, they commnece to tinker,
and the more time and money
spent the more she gets out of
whack.. When they realize that
it takes an expet to do anything
with it,. No wifi they had only
bought a simple engine, one that
would not run because it did not
have a lot of fixtures, they could
have avoided the expense and

overlook the 'Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,

the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
