We are glad to note a movement
amoung the county bars OF the

cases outside OF their home court
may 90 into strange court with

IN MEMORY OF
LUCIUS B. REED

The subject of this sketch was
born in Monroe county, Ohio, Aug.
9th 1852, and departed this life
Sunday, January 24th, 1904, was
therefore So years, FIVE months,
and IS days old He had been In
poor health for several weeks. a
sufferer of consumption.
AS the end drew near he was
surrounded by his immediate fam
IL, and only few friends, as 1t
was not expected his suffering
would be over soon. During his
sickness. kind hands did all that
was possible to alleviate his suffer
ings and prolong his day; but the
efforts to continue his stay on earth
were In vain-the messenger came
and he must 60.
In November, 1874 he was mar.
ried to Susan G. Asher. with
whom he lived happily, until the
time of his death. To them were
born six children, four OF whom
with his wife still survive him; he
Ia also survived by one brother and
two sisters.
Mr.. Reed was industrious, and
through his industry and economy
had arranged things so as to live
comfortably, but truly, I'm the
midst of lie we are In DEATH" As
a neighbor he was generous to a
fault; as a husband he was loving
and true, and as a father he was
firm yet affectionate. His demise
will be keenly felt and mourned
by a host OF people. The family
certainly have the sympathy of all,
as this Is the second time death has
visited this home within two
months. A number of years ago
he was converted and joined the
NJ E. church, but being isolated
from the church OF his choice, wan.
dered from the path of right. but
ere bis journey ended he again put
his trust In God and said to his
wife, II am not afraid to die" His
funeral occurred Tuesday from the
family residence, conducted by E.
H. Waters Pastor of the U. B.

MARKET QUOTATIONS
Pretty State OF Affairs

Two mail pouches. one marked
for SardIs, Ohio, and one for Cen
tervjew, Ohio. were put of the
eastbound train No. 7o6 here this
morning. The postal clerk on the
train stated to the mail carrier at
the depot that he did not know
where Sardis or Centerview were
The postal clerk further stated that
the pouches had been on the train
for a week. This Is certainly a
pretty state of affairs and Is only
one instance In a hundred Of the
incompetency and carelessness of
postal clerks. Neither does all the
incompetency and neglect Of duty
lay with the railway postal clerks.
There are others.

1t has been clearly demonstrated
In the public schools OF this city
beyond doubt, that the pupils OF
even the largest building can be
marched out In good order In two
minutes, and that Is sufficient time
to clear any building In case OF
fire. A prominent member OF the
Board of Education visited our
schools very recently and witnessed
a fine drill by the scholars, and
within the brief period of just two
minutes the large building was va
Gated. The teachers have the sys-
tenn under complete control and It
will be continued at intervals
throughout the term.
This fact should prove very re-
assuring to the parents of the pu.

Roller Skating Rink
Opens Tonight

Company A have converted
their armory, for the present at
least, into a roller skating rink.
The building Is located on Brown
Betty street adjoining the Hotel
Wells on the south, and Is very
commodious building and we'll
adapted in every way for rink.
A competent corps Of instruc.
tors will be In charge ard who will
pay strict attention to new begin
ners. All prrsons desiring member
ship cards, are requested to
apply to any member OF
the Military company, who
will supply them with the cards at
any time. The rink will be open to
all members every Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday afternoon and
evenings during the season. A fee
of Il cents will be charged for ad-
mission to the rink, and skates will
be furnished each individual for 10
cents.
This evening will be known as
ladies' night, and the rink will be
open for them and their escorts.
This Is something that has long
been needed In Sistersville, and the
projectors of the enterprise will
doubtless be literally rewarded
financially. Roller skating Is fine
amusement and we expect to see
number of our young ladies and
gentlemen become experts In the
art at no far distant daV.

a Notable Jubilee.

Fifty years ago when the immortal Plus H.

ception of the Mother of God the world outside
the Church declared that a doctrine had been
discovered and that it would die soon just as it had
been conjured into existence.
No new doctrine had been either discovered or
promugated; truth that had always been believed
by the Church was for reasons arising out OF new
circumstances in the world, officially declared by
the invaluable Vicar of Christ to be matter of be-
lief-nothing else. But fifty long years have rolled
away and as in regard to all other great truths
that she teaches the Church is now procaiming to
the world by this celebration, that the Immaculate
Conception is unanimously held by the millions of
Catholics to be fundamental dogma basic truth,
and that she never changes in this any more than IN
any other of her doctrines. And how could she!

Roman Catholics and Politics.
New York Sum

Bishop McFaul of Trenton explained in an adj
dress to the Roman Catholic Federation, in which
there are now a million and half members, that
the purpose of that organization is in sense po-
itcaI. but simply ito Danish ignorance in regard
to the Catholic Church" 'We do not want
Catholic party" said the bishop; sit would be far
better for us were we more equally divided between
the two great parties
1t is not remarkable that Roman Catholics have
tended to the Democratic party. During the Know
Nothing agitation of the middle of the last century
the prime object of attack b.. the movement was
the Church of Rome. The native Amerieanism'
which was its slogan was at the bottom simply re-
ligious antipathy. 1t fear and hatred of the
Pope. The Know Nothngs wanted to keep for
eigners from voting for the special reason that
those foreigners were almost wholly Roman Catho-
lies AT the period when Know Nothingism was
active and influential politically the great mass of
the immigration was Catholic and chiefly from Ire
land.
Against this movement the Democratic party
was steadily and consistently arrayed. In its
tional platform for 1910 it had favored immgra
ton and declared that every attempt to abridge
the present privilege of becoming citizens and the
owners of soil among ought to be resisted with
the same spirit which swept the alien and sedtion
laws from our statute books" That declaration
was repeated in the platforms of 1874, 184S and
1852. The Wings avoided the subject. The "Amer
lean or Know Nothing platform OF 1896 held that
"native born citizens should be selected for all state
federal and municipal Offices of government en-
ployment in preference to all Others and it at
tackled Roman Catholics in this fashion,
'No person should be selected for political sta
ton whether of native or foreign BIRTH who rec
ognizes any allegiance obligation of any de-
scription to any foreign prince potentate or
power"
Of course, the reference there was to the spirit
ual allegiance of Catholics to the Pope and it in
duced the Democrats to make this counter declara-
ton in their platform of 1866:
