Now Be Good.
(Kingwood Argus

Some of the Republican papers
of this state would rather lie on
credit than tell the truth for cash,
and the Fairmont West Virginian
is one oil them. Recently it spoke
in contemptuous terms of Senator
John j. Cornwell and Hon. Will
liam l. Mansfield, the Democratic
nominees for governor and auditor,
and referred to them as baokwoods-
men and the editors of onehorse
country papers When the fact OF
it is that both of the gentlemen
are credit in ability and reputa-
ton to any body ever connected
with the Marion county West Vir-
ginian, and the Review and News,
the papers of Messrs. Cornwell and
Mansfield, have always been con
sidered very strong papers and two
of the very best published in the
state. Both editors have ALWAYS
been able TO get anything they
wanted from their own people, and
have enjoyed the highest prefer
ment that could be given them by
the citizens of their section, and
are Row called upon by the people
at large to go up higher. ALI this
is much more than can be said of
the Fairmont West Virginian and
its editor, who should take a good
big dose of calomel for his liver,
some pepsin for his dyspepsia and
some kind of an absorbent for his

the meantime, though the robbers
had disappeared, and there is pos.

are, or in what direction from the
city they made their escape.
1t is very evident that the plans
for robbing the treasurer's Office
were carefully laid. Friday was
the big day at the Rock Springs
fair, near here, which has been in
progress this week. The city was
practically deserted, everyone who
could being at the fair.
The robbers are supposed to
have driven up to the front door of
the court house, in which is the
office of the treasurer, in buggy,
one getting out and going inside
the building some time before the
other entered. The men, both

treasurer, and were within few
feet of him before he knew of their
presence. When ne turned from
his desk he was confronted with
two big pistols and compelled to
throw up his hands. which he did
without hesitancy. The vault
door was open at the time, and
while one of the robbers held the
official at his mercy the other took
what he wanted of the contents of
the vault, leaving all the gold and
silver, however. 1t is not ( lown

to carry such heavy booty, or over.

Some Fall Advice.

September is the first of the fall
months. Beginning at this time
there will be heavy rains and
storms, with the equinootial storm
as climax to the bad weather
1t is at this time that the residents
of the city should pay particular
attention to their health and to
their diet. In wet and rainy
weather the body is more easily in
footed with disease than in dry,
warm weather. and the dreaded
typhoid germ seeks out those
whom he may devour in just such
weather as will shortly close in on
us. Look to your drinking water,
pay CLOSE attention to your diet,
and above all, if you live in the
country and use a we'll as the
source of your water supply, see
that it is not contaminated by any
decayed animal matter that may
have accumulated on the ground
during the summer month. This
prolific source of disease. Keep
your grounds around your we'll free
from decaying matter, vegetable,
mineral or animal, and you will
have pure water. Without this at.
tention paid to the ground sur.
rounding your watering places you
will have disease in your focks
and herds and sickness in your
family.
