The Democratic Times wants to
know. in fact seems anxious to know,
where the West Virginian stands on
the al1-absorbing tax question. As
this paper wants to be obiging. and
likes to be Iobliging when the thing
asked for is SO easily granted, 1T will
respectfully refer the Times to yes
@terday's issue of the West Virginian,
wherein its position is defined on the
Z question at issue as plainly as it
knows, how to put it. 1t is true that
the Times was anticipated little in
this matter, but it is to be hoped that
: it viii not permit itself to be worried
about it. But of course it won't be,
as it has weightier things ON its
Emind--for instance, how it is going
to land Marion county and the State
in the Democratic column this year.

James Messerva. a teanlster on New
street, tied UP and fed his horses IN
the stable at noon yesterday. Upon
returning for them after dinner. ne
found one with an ugly diagonal cut
clear across the front OF it's head be-
low the fore-top. He suspects that
some one. out of malice, had enter
ed the stable in his absence and slash
ed it with a, knife. Others believe.
however, from the nature OF the
wound, that it only struck nan
while fighting flies in the stable, caus-
ing the long side-wise cut. He took
the horse 20 doctor. who stitched
up the wound. which, it is not thought
probable will prove serious, beyond
being sore for a few days.
Bruce Bartholow has given cue to
others by paving the sidewalk of his
property on Merchant street, and is
now building"a front veranda. Charles
Hicginbotham and Jere Levelle,5 in
addition to their former improve
ments adjoining Bruce, are vleins
with MIN for honors and are likewise
paving. Commissioner Richardson
keeps an eye on all OF them TO hold
them TO the line, and down level with
the grade They are doing neat work,
however, and need no criticism, but
only praise rather.
The Fairmont City Hospital is at
last completed, and was turned over
by the carpenters for the officials to
take full charge yesterday. 1t is pro-
vided with rooms for 100 patients, and
twenty-five nurses and assistant help
ers. Many of the wards are already
occupied by patients, and competent
nurses on hand to care for them, and
all Others seeking admission.
