has been no opposition announced.
State Senator William Campbell has
announced his intention to again be

Had Been There Before.

When Andrew J. Kelly and JOS
eph Renault, who were convicted at
the last term of the Circuit Court in
thi, place, were taken to the peniten-
tiary at Moundsville they were identl-
fed as having served terms in that
institution before. The officials there
had kept track of their doings and
said that since they were released
from Moundsville penitentiary they
had served terms in other prisons
one in Washington and the other in
Maryland. One of them is wanted
for still another robbery committed in
another State, and he will be turned
over to the officials of that State for
trial as soon as he completes his term
oflmprisonment at Moundsville.--FTee

Sensible Suggestions.

The Charles Town Free Press Of
this morning says: We would like to
offer suggestion to the candidates
who will run for the various Offices in
the coming primaries; and that is that
they get together and agree not to use
any money in the campaign except
that which is required for legitimate
expenses. The practice of vote buy
ing has gained such Roadway in re-
cent years that it is impossible for any
one to run for an Office in the county
unless he has bari Of money at
b, disposal. 1t is practice that
must come to an end some time and this
Is as good time as any to start the re-
form. 1t will be AS fair for one per-
son as another and if all candidates
refuse to pay for votes then the voter
will gain nothing by offering to sell
his suffrage, as be will not find buyer,
and the candidate will lose nothing,
as he Will know that the vote will not
be bought by any one.
Speaking along these lines the Mar
tin.burg Statesman says: The lead
ers OF both the great parties IN Berke-
lev county express themselves as sick
and tired of the demand made upon
them at each election by the floating
voters and declare themselves as will
ing and anxious to put stop to the
unlawful expenditure of money. If
they are in earnest it seems that they
ought to be able to come to some agree
ment by which there could be stop
put to the matter. The year is just
setting in and the election is still ten
months of, which seems ample time TO
arrange for a fair, clean and honest
election il it is sincerely de'lred. Why
not get together, gentlemen, and be-
GIN now 10 make arrangements.
We think every sensible person IN
tsrested IN decent elections will con.
cur IN the above suggestions.

A slnrular Surgical Operation.

The Baltimore Herald of recent
date gives the following account of an
interesting surgical operation perform
ed upon a resident of this county:
"a surgical case now at the Frank
lin Square Hospital is attracting con-
siderable attention from the local
medical fraternity. Miss Lena Myers,
aged SO years. daughter Of Mr.. j.
Frank Myers, of Jefferson county,
West Virginia, entered the hospital
on December Is with her left arm
grown to her side as far down as the
lower border of the ribs. She fell
into a fireplace at her home when siI
years of age, and was horribly burned
on the left side from the ear to the
lower rib. The left arm was allowed
to hang ordinarily at the side, with
the result that in time thorough sd-
hesion took place. Thenceforth Miss
Myers had practically no use OF that
arm. She was induced to come to
Baltimore by DR.. John B. Schwatka,
president of the board of directors Of
the Baltimore Medical College, and
one of the Board OF the franklin
Square Hospital. who informed her
that he thought her arm could be re-
lieved. On the day after her arrival
an operation was performed at the
Franklin Square Hospital by Dr. Har-
ry Gross, professor of surgery, and DR..
Schwatka. An incision was made IN
the skin from the shoulder to the low
err border of the ribs, and the arm
thus set free. The skin was then
drawn so as to cover the bare area as
far as possible and the arm placed in
a sling. The operation was highly
successful. DR.. Schwstka said that he
b ad never heard OF so extreme case
of the kind. Body burns Of such Sc
verify, be said, frequently result in
septic pneumonia, which is usually
fatal. The patient is now doing well.

Mr.. GraVeS'S Lecture.

Mr.. GravesS Lecture.
John Temple Graves, the famous
Southern orator, delivered lecture
in the town hall last Thursday night
before a large audience. The subject
of the lecture was The Reign Of the
Demagogue," and his musical voice
and beautiful sentences attracted
close attention from the very begin
ming. 1t is seldom that we have heard
a more finished orator or more pleas
ing speaker than Mr.. Graves in Shep.
herdstown. His language was chaste
and beautiful, his style most pleasing
and his manner agreeable. We think,
however, that his subject was one
not entirely appropriate to a rural
community and we cannot but feel that
if the speaker had known what a gen
timely Southern town this is he would
have gotten in closer sympathy with
his audience and that the warmth
that would have resulted would have
added greatly to the lecture and the
pleasure of the audience.
