Sheldon h. Baker, of the
photographers survey now at
the Touto dam, came to the
valley last Friday, sent here by
the government to investigate
the conditions in this valley and
to ascertain what damage is
being done by the tailings that
are being run into the river at
Clifton. If it is found that the
tailings are injurious to the
farms, and there is no question
on this point, the government
will take a hand i'll the matter
and put a stop to it.-Graham

Farm House Destroyed.

The Martinsburg World says that
the large two-story brick and frame
dwelllng-house on the farm of Law
renee Tabler, in Opequon district,
about FIVE miles from Martinsburg,
was totally destroyed b, fire Sunday
evening, together with nearly all its
contents. The fire broke out during
the absence Of the occupants Of the
house, and burned with great rapid
ty, owing to the high wind which pre-
vailed at that time. The house was
occupied by both Nj, Tabler and the
family of his tenant, Roger Wright,
and most Of the furniture and effects
were the property of the latter. The
blaze had gained great Roadway when
first noticed, and although several of
Mr. Tabler's neighbors went to his aid,
they were powerless to check the fire,
which blazed fercely until nearly
everything in reach was destroyed
During the effort made by Mr.. Wright
and Mr.. Tabler to carry some Of the
furniture out of the burning building,
Mr.. TabIer was burned aud cut about
the hands, but his injuries are not Sc
rious. The men succeeded in saving
very little, and the loss to Mr. Wright
Is total, there being no insurance on
his effects. In all the loss will reach
about $4,000. Mr.. Tabler has $3.50
insurance on his property, placed
with Harrison Schley, Shepherdstown

ohio's Example TO West Virginia.

Gov. Nash in his message to the
Ohio Legislature, devoted himself
largely to tax reform in that State,
showing what has been actually done
to relieve the common people by tax
ing the corporations which are given
life by the State and their franchises
protected, Gov. Nash points out
that formerly the revenues for the
general fund of the State were pro-
duced from the proceeds of tax of
one mill and fourtenths of one mill
upon every dollar of valuation of tax
able property in the State. This
placed the chef burden of taxation
upon the zeal and personal property
OF the citizens of the State But the
last General Assembly made rsdical
change in this law, and on April. 20,
1902, there was an entire omission to
make any levy for State taxation, and
instead thereof passed what is known
as the willis" law, which placed a
tax upon corporations, and as result
OF this change the proceeds coming in
to the State treasury, without one
dollar being obtained from taxation
upon real or personal property, for
the year ending November Is, 1903, y
was $4 991, 1852, and the prediction
is made by the Governor that the
proceeds from like taxation for the
coming year will reach-a grand total
of 100000.
Ii this can be done in Ohio, why
not in West Virginia ? Have we
heard of capital being driven out of
Ohio and the State sent to financial
ruin because the corporations were
taxed?

ffyper.om 'rheate,.

A great musical event, which is al- ways a delight to a multitude of our people, is the annual visit here of Sou sa's band at the Hyperion. So much of Sousa's time has been taken up of late to furnishing melody for our cousins across the seas that his home constit- uency has seen comparatively little of him. But there is only one SoUsa, and when he is away band music perforce languishes, which perhaps adds zest to his return to the concert field. At any event. now that the Sousa band is again on tour--which, by the way, is it's twenty-fourth semi-annual concert trip Lit will afford most welcome post Lenten musical feast Sousa is on his way to open the great Worlds fair at St. Louis and his tour embraces some fifty towns only.
 A particular feature of the Sousa concerts this trip will be his presenta- ton of comprehensive excerpts from the great Wagner sacred festival drama 'sParsifal," which is the talk of the en- tire musical world. Mr. Sousa has play ed selections from this notable work for the last ten years, but the present widespread interest in Wagner's last composition has induced him to repeat these numbers It will afford countless thousands an opportunity to hear Par sifal who otherwise might never listen to music of this kind.
 MT. Sousa will be assisted by his so- loists, Estelle Liebling, soprano; Jessie Strau, violinist; Herbert L. Clarke, cor netist, and Jean H. B. Moeremans, sax ophonist.
 Seat sale is already large. Prices 50 cents, 75 cents and $1.
 The attraction at the Hyperion to- morrow evening will be Miss Nance O'Neil, the young tragedienne, who has captured the critical theater-goers of Boston in a series of matinee revivals of classic and standard plays The Bos- ton Transcript says:
 ..The apparition of Nance O'Neil on the local stage has been the most start ling of theatrical events for years. Here is a new Rachel--an American 'trage- dienne' who is a 'tragedienne, appear ing to us for the first time by way of Australia, New Zealand and Europe and that without flare on trumpets, either preliminary or contemporary, Of stalwart height, with graceful figure and mobile face, a richly modulated
