It Resulted in a Wholesale Killing in
 West Virginia.

Huntington, w. Va, Sept 5.-As a result of an attempt to collect a long standing bill by a clerk in a country store at Green Shoals, twenty miles south of here on the Guan river, today, two men were killed, one fatally in jured and another seriously injured and two more men who escaped and have disappeared are supposed to be injured. The fight may result in an- other bloody feud being added to those already existing in this part of the country.
 The dead are: Allen Brumfield, for twenty years justice of the peace in Lincoln county, shot through the heart and instantly killed; Wm. Ad- ans, shot four times in the body and died immediately after the fight.
 The injured are: George Mead, shot twice in the body and will die; John Lambert, shot through the shoulder and seriously but not fatally injured. Two brothers of John Lambert, who engaged in the fight, are believed to be wounded, but esca ped to the mounta ns.
 The fight started over an attempt of Lambert, who was a clerk in a country store at Green Shoals, to co., lect a long standing account against Adams. The men engaged in an arg1- p1ent over the account in the street several days ago. Adams was with friends at the time and after heated words struck Lambert who was alone. Lambert did not fight, but today, while with his two brothers, he came upon Adams in company with George Mead
 The fight was repewed upon sight, all the men being heavily armed. Brum- field was shot in an attempt to prevent the fight. After the death of Brum- field the men separated. John Lam bert was found in the mountainside. The two brothers of John Lambert who were wounded, escaped to the mountains and are being hunted by several posses.

Some one shouted play bali" and it became known that the santa Fe would not think of disturb ing so fast a game at its crisis. Back t0 the field went Phoenix with Mesa hopeful at the bat. That wicked Del gadO had lost none of his cunning since the first half of the ninth inning. One by one his balls flew by the dazed men who held the timber. As before they went down and out in regular order

It was a trick to catch his eye and land where he looked. Donovan made first and then second when a big kick was raised by Q. Stapley as to Donovans safety. Fin ally all hands went back to place and the game proceeded, Donovan dying at home. Walden was next up and made first. While Williamson was saving a little scientific air Walden stole to third on passed balls. Williamson hit the ball and Walden walked home
 Throughout the game there was al sorts of enthusiasm and a maddening abundance of roofing for both sides. Both teams were on the alert for Umpire Seamans who lived the stren- uoUs life for an hour and would rather not be president if presidential duties are all as insistently strenuous as be-

Death Rate Is Increasing.

Many years ago the statisticians OF
the pension Office made careful cal
culations to show the number of sur
vivors of the civil war for a series Of
years. They used as the basis of their
calculations the mortality tables of
the insurance companies, but were far
out of the way. The old soldiers are
dying off more rapidly than was ex-
pected According to the estimate,
the total number of survivors in 1902
should have been 93O,3SO, while the
pension rolls showed only 25,100. To
the latter number should be added two
or three per cent. to cover those who
have never applied for pensions.

Lessons of Memorial Day.

Memorial day has played a larger
share than many of us realize in our
national life. In no country on the
globe is a day so entirely devoted to
the memory of it's heroes, SO generally
observed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The day itself is
we'll chosen when the spring offers It's
choicest blossoms in profusion and
nature presents it's loveliest aspect
1t is a day culled from the period
when life is at it's best to do honor
to those "who being dead, yet live!"
What a lesson it is to the child, so
easily impressed by example. 1t is a
delight to witness the exercises of the
little ones in school, in honor Of the
day, and to realize that it is thus good
citizens are nodded, to hear their
fresh young voices sing the national
anthems and lisp the story of some
deathless deed. No danger of dearth
of patriots as long as Memorial day
is thus observed.

The Dear Old War Songs.

How strong is their hold upon US
those old war songs of the sixties, and
what part they take in our national
life. Other songs have swept the
country, have been sung by millions
of voices, played on uncounted pianos
and ground out by untiring hand or
gans-then forgotten! Only the old
songs which were sung around a
thousand camp fires; which were
chorused by trembling voices as dear
ones marched away 'to the 'front.'"
which were chanted as long blue col
umns swept into action, only these
survive through the years. The least
musical of us hum their soul inspir-
ing strains, and what grand anthems
they make arising from thousand
threats! We have known them from
our cradles; we will know and love
them to our graves, these splendid,
gallant old songs.

If Washington and his associates
gave us free country, then soldiers of
Spottsylvania and Petersburg gave us
nation that shall not perish from the
face of the earth. 1t is in no spirit of
the bitterness that marked other days
that these words are written. Those
who fought with the south fought hon
estly, as they fought fairly and brave
ly. They had the teachings of Henry
and Jefferson and Madison and Bur.
to confirm and establish their faith.
The conflict had to come, and peace
and kindly feeling also for those
fought against the union. The facts
of history, though, are incontrovert-
ible, that upon the endurance, the
courage, the daring and the patriotism
of the union soldiers of 1865 hung
the fate of a mighty nation.
God bless them! in that they fought
long and well. God bless them! that
they counted no hardship too great, no
peril too hazardous. May they ever
be held in honor in that each one, &C
cording to his station and opportunity.
acquitted himself nobly.
Time does his work and it is given
unto all men to die. But the veterans
of 1865, though the last one of them
pass away, have achieved an immortal
ity of fame through the greatness OF
their deeds.
Hail, then, and welcome Decoration
day! And when it comes and comes
again, let the story be told to the chill
dren and the children's children, how
this mighty war won an endur-
ing peace to the land. Honor to the
veteran living; enduring gratitude and
tender remembrances for those that
are dead.

THE WELDED BULLET
A Story for Decoration Day
By MRS. F. M. HOWARD.

rOr, and l can remember yet the stony
look of despair which would come
over her poor face when an engage
ment was in progress into which Har-
ry was likely to be called.
''It came at last. After the battle of
Gettysburg they were sent home-both
fatally shot, and the bodies had been
found together, the report said.'
'And your grandmother" asked
Mrs. Warner, in tone of horror.
Went quite mad at the sight. She
had dreamed of it-had tried to fortify
herself, and become used to the awful
thought of the possibility, but the
reality drove reason completely from
its throne.
Without any real evidence that!
such was the case, she took it for
granted that they had met and killed
each other, and for years she nursed
the idea in her poor, crazed brain I'M
til it seemed as if We should go insane
with her."
'And did she never recover"
mot entirely. The sequel is the
strangest of ALL Several years after
peace was declared we were entertain
ing a friend, newspaper man, who
had made a success in his profession.
He had on his watch chain a peculiar
looking charm and l, with the curios-
ity of youth, noticed it.
1.-The charm has singular history
he said, detaching it from his chain
and handing it to me. It was two bull
lets, welded together as they met in
the air, hot from the muskets' mouth.
and bound with a golden band and
ring.
"'Will you tell it, please?' 1 asked
as 1 examined it with interest before
passing it on to my mother.
"'I was a reporter ther,' said Mr..
Rolf, and had been detailed to de-
scribe the field of Gettysburg for my
paper At the name of Gettysburg,
which we never mentioned in her
| presence, grandmother's sunken eyes
began to kindle, and her frame to
culver with eager, strained interest.
The horrors of it had sickened me
until 1 was about to turn away from
it all, faint and weary of my task,
when singular sight arrested me-
Out a little from the rest were two
bodies, one wearing the gray, the
