A Stranqe Case.

Humane Officer Sample has had a
warrant sworn out for man living
near Fetterman for an act of inhu-
man cruelty. The story comes from
neighbors that man owning a farm
there became so incensed because his
neighbors cattle broke through his
fances and devoured his grain, that he
stoned the cattle until tired and then
drove them into zen SO small that
another animal could not have enter
ed, and kept them there for twenty
four hours without food or water. One
OF the animals died from its injuries.
and number of others were in dread
full shape when they were finally re-
leased. This is horrible story, and
the miscreant who would commit such
an act should be given the full penalty
of the law. Mr.. Sample says he has
a very strong case against the man,
and the law will probably exercise its
authority in a very short time.

SPREAD POISONED
TAX LITERATURE
That#Is Thought to Be Object of DEM
ocrat Now Examining Tax
Books.

WHEELING, Sept. 29:An ernmis.
sary of the State Democracy has been
hard at work in Marshall county dur
ing the last few days, securing a list
OF all the real estate owners and the
amount of taxes paid by each. This
work presumably is going on in. e
different counties with the obvious in-
tention on the part of the Democratic
managers to mail q flood of poisoned
tax literature to the different tax pay
ers of the State. These circulars Il in:
keeping with Democratic StateapoIicys
will probably misrcpresent the tax
question. and make property holders
believe their taxes will be increased
whereas the reverse is true. III all
likelihood all the property holders in
Marshall county who receive these
circulars. will under the new law have
their taxes decreased rather than in-$
creased. This whole question should
be so clear to each taxpayer that the
circulars when sent out will undoubt-
edly prove boomerang to the Democ-
racy.

Want Homes FOR Children

The Humane Society has in the
Shelter. in Wheeling two children for
whom they desire good homes in this
part of the State. The children have
no relatives in or near here and for
that reason their location here is de-
sirabe. One is boy three years old,
and is bright, sturdy, healthy boy,
very attractive in manner and dispo-5
sition. The other is a dainty little
girl baby of eighteen months, very
winning in looks and manner, also,
and one to whom ones heart would
go out instantly because of her charm:
ing baby ways and her affectionate
nature. The boy would easily become
the pride of some household and the
stay and comfort of old age. Any
family desiring to adopt one or both
of these children, should communicate
with one of the local officers and ar
ransements may be speedily made.

session did the State committee deci-
ded on this course of passing out 5000

favorite canard OF the Democratic
press and spellbinders to state that
Republicans have suppressed informa
ton concerning this legislation. 1t is
the baldest and boldest lie of the whole
campaign. Republican newspapers
and orators ever since the campaign
began, have discussed openly and can
didly, and with just PRIDE, the details
of the work accomplished by the spe-
cial session. But in order to make the
case still stronger Chairman Northcott
and his associates are having printed
these acts to be given a State wide cir
culation, which should bring about
the burying Of the Democratic misrep-
resentation beyond al possibility OF

HORSE DIED
AFTER BEING SEVERELY BEATEN

HUMANE SOCIETY is NOW

A narrowing story comes from the
vicinity of Smithtowc, and while the
time was several weeks ago, action
may yet be taken in the case, and in

men driving a horse stopped in front
of a country residence, and without
apparent provocaticn began beating
horse When one tired the other
took his turn until all three beasts
were exhausted. The horse SO much
SO, that it was not able to move.
Three womenfi who were the only oc-
cupants of the house, used every en-
deavor to prevent this outrage, and
finally one of the women brought
gun out and threatened to shoot if
they did not desist. She also refused
to allow the creatures a drink of water
from the well. and told them she
would surely shoot if they attempted
to enter the yard. They tried to bluff
her by saying that they also were
armed, but she defied them and stood
resolutely at bay until they retreated
in the distance. The horse was cared
for until it died from its injuries,
some two weeks later, and now the
officers are trying to prove the ident- |
ty of the men. If the case had been |

of the police from their regular beats.
In broad day light they went with a

Mrs. Holland, who has been staying

return later. Late ins the afternoon
they came back and backed wagon up
to the building, and starting with

they had the wagon loaded they bor-

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Amid the
cheers of many thousands, the new
battIeship Connecticut was successful
" launched from the ways of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard at 11:10 o'clock
this morning. Queen-to-be of the
American navy took her maiden dip in
the sea without being baptized in
champagne, her sponsor, Miss Alice

4 ing bottle as the red-hnlled vessel fed

ing the failure to smash the bottle,
seized the cord on Which hung the bot
lie. and with a vigorous whirl, broke
gfhe bottle on the ships bow as she
was about to enter the water. Fifteen
thousand people saw the launching,
zand ascthe ship left the ways, their
cheers united with the hoarse and stri-
dent Whistles of warships, cruisers
and scores Of harbor craft, which lay
OFF the yard Miss Welles was much
chagrined at her failure to break the
bottle. Following the launching 1un-
@cheon was served to the two hundred
invited guests.
Best ~BattIeship In the World.
When the battleship Connecticut is
completed, she will be the most pow
erfu1 fighting machine in the United
States navy. A comparison with the
best ships of other nations shows that
the Connecticut would more than hold
her own in battle against any ship in
the world. The Connecticut is the
only frst-class battlcship in the navy
that has been built at a government
yard The Texas, the second-cIass bat
tIeship, was built at the Norfolk navy
yard, but was never complete sue
cess, the ship generally starting
plant or breaking down in some one of
her component parts whenever she
was most needed for duty.
s. The Connecticut is the pride of the
construction department of the navy,
and the constructors say she will ex-
Gel any ship ever built. A sister of
the Connecticut, the Louisiana, is now
being completed by the Newport News
Ship Building and D.y Dock Company.
The two battleships are identical in
every particular and were authorized
by an act of Congress, approved July
4, 1902 It was provided by this act
that one of the ships should be built at
a government yard, ana the future
Connecticut was selected to be con-
at the New York navy yard.
The contract for the Louisiana was
awarded to the Newport News Ship
Building and Dry Dock Company, and
a tacit understanding was reached
that every endeavor would be made by
both the private concern and the gov
eminent to finish its ship first. The
Louisiana was launched about month
ago, and is several per cent. ahead :
of the Connecticut in the race for Z
completion. Z

The play was presented by a strong

who appeared in the title role Of Don
