Our neighbor seems to&be getting a
editorial which it took from the West
virginian some weeks ago. A great
many people in this vicinity, VINO are
recent corners, do not realize what
the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, and SO for their benefit,
and at the request of one of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
torial which appeared in the Fairmont
Index, the foster mother of the Times,
in the fall Of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was Mr.. 3. D.
teened citizens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount of the votes cast for
the office Of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
i'll cur tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
ton ticket gives him a majority OF
ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is 50 SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME BY A RECOUNT. The work
of counting OF the votes is very slow,
and it will require several days to
complete it. II is understood that Mr..
T. y. Fleming, who was defeated on
the face of the returns for the Office
Of Justice OF the Peace Of this dis
trict, Will demand a recount of the
votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other office, and doubtless there will
be none. for the majOrities are SO
large that they could not be affected
by recount unless some gross irreg-
ularity was found and nothing OF that
sort is charged and none exists. The
recount for commissioner will take
at least all of this week.-Fairmont
Index.
OF course. Mr.. B. D. Fleming was
counted out according to the Demo
cratic program, as other Republicans
had been before as we'll as afterwards

purchase Of a most desirable pony. just

the plan had been vetoed by the stern
parent.
When they reached his fathers pri
vate office the 10y stood in the open
doorway and studied the double line of
clerks. book keepers, stenographers and
helpers which extended the length OF
the floor. Finally he crossed to his
fathers desk.

"Well, say, if you'd take a dollar out
Of each of their salaries this week
wouldn't that money pay for my
pony:"
For several of them" replied his
father dryly.
VERY we'll; think you'd better take
it out Each one of 'em wouldn't miss
the dollar much, and it would mean
lot for us. You can have what's left
over from the pony."-New York Press

@lMMOBILiI-Y o 8 EAR. Z
Oisti-Ics Cain Due to Loss OF Ability
70 IEa n Thu 6,r1Ss. q.

O1Bt1-JcczG tain Due to LOss Oh IL 111tS
TO wns That organ.
The earSis imrnubile. Accordingly it is
incapable Of rehex movements for
catching sounds like those by which
the eye is turned SO quickly to meet
the light coming from an object We
find likewise that the perception of
space by means of sound is in an ex-
tremely undeveloped form. What is
the size of thunder? The question at
first seems absurd. Yet it cannot be
entirely absurd, for we speak Of the
peal as heaven filling. The appearance
of absurdity is due to the hopeless
vaGueness of the sound image in re-
spect to extent. If we analyze this
vagueness. we find that owing TO the
Immobility Of the ear we cannot locate
sounds with precision.
We have now to ask what the mental
gain is which has resulted from this
loss. 1t is to be found in the ability TO
attend to succession of sounds. Let
US notice how distinct is our per
ception OF succession. a sound comes
suddenly and sharply, and then IL Is
gone, and another sound" of distinct
quality takes its place. Thus by lis
very nature sound lends Itself easily
to this kind of perception. And when
we listen 20 Il SoIiiiluS o.)JtNt Jul ~
cerest is in catching the sounds which
come IN sequence. This is illustrated
most distinctly in attention 70 dis
course. We hear Simultaneous sounds.
but the prcdominatinc characteristic %
our perception of sounds is that tl.e::'
variety is given in succession. Hear
ing is 4 time sense. If tie ear h2d
remained mobile, it would have been
the organ OF g space sense, for il would
have giren Il number of sounds as
practically coexisting and as coeXistinS
in definite relations 10 each other The
mobility being lost. hearing has become
q time sense.
To sum up. the loss Of the ears mo-
bility has resulted in the fuller appre-
citation of the succession of sounds and
thus has been in IN important sense
condition OF the social. intellectual and
aesthetic development which has come
with the use OF language and music.
And it is in a high degree proba bic.
though the data are insufficient for
conclusive demonstration. th2t it is to
the advantage given in the struggle for
existence by the first stages of this
development that we are to attribute
the permanent alteration in the Struc-
ture of the ear. We thus see that the
sense organ having originally the form
best adapted to the conditions in which
the organism lived changed Its form TO
meet the conditions of 4 higher stage
of evolution. 1t may be that in this
form it is most in accord with the
special stimularions which appeal 10 it,
1t is certainly in this form that it can
minister to the highest spiritual ac-
tivities.-Dr Walter Smith in Popular
Science Monthly.

A. X. Thorne is the Republican nom
inee for State senator in the Twelfth
district, composed of the counties of
Harrison, Deddridge and Lewis, and
Harvey w. Harmer is another nomi-
nee, the product of rump conven-
ton. This means that the district will
be represented by a Democrat unless
the Republicans throw both men aside
and take some one who is not objec-
ticnable to either faction. The grand
old party in this State has had, it
would seem, more than its. share of
family troubles this year.

The 3. and o. has taken no steps as
yet toward the removal of its F., NJ
and P. bridge. 1t is little early, how
ever, to expect such a thing. What
the company will do in the matter is
hard to tell but it will be one of two
things-either build a new bridge in
the neighborhood of Catawba or ex-
tend its Pittsburg branch up the river
through the First ward to the main
line at the bridge above the city. The
latter will be the course pursued, in
all probability, as it owns nearly all
the right of way for such extension.
First warderS and Fairmont people
generally would be glad to see it on
that side, but above all they want to
see an unobstructed river between
here and Pittsburg, and as the B. and
o. is responsible for the only obstruc-
ton that exists, the whole Mononga-
hela valley is watching it and hoping
that it may enter upon the work of re-
moval without further delay.

Snakes Eyes,

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes. inasmuch as their eyes new
or, close. They are without lids and
each is covered with n transparent
scale much resem bling glass. When the
reptile casts its outer skin the eye
scales come off with the rest of the
transparent envelope out of which the
snake slips. This CLASSY eye scale is
so tough that it effectually protects the
true eye from the twigs, sharp grass
and other instructions which the snake
encounters In its travels, yet it is trans
parent enough to allow the most per-
feet vision Thus, If the snake has not
a glass eye it may. ut any rate. be said
to wear eyeglasses.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.

The largest irrigation enter prise in America is located in the rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
 which has been reclaimed through mans handi-work alone.
 Ill this valley which IS now coIn- fortably settled, there remains 27O, ,OOO acres of land belonging to the state of Idaho, which is under the Twin Falls irrigation canals and open to settlement.
 This land is among the richest in America, as experiments have proved. Potatoes here yield 200 to 400 bushels to the acre of large size and fine variety. Wheat yields from 40 to 70 bushels to the acre with an average weight of 63 pounds per bushel. Three crops of alfalfa are raised each season in the Snake River valley. The climate is superb and of great value as a tonic for mind
