VICTIM OF HICHWAYMAN is
IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION

After spending a restless night,
Gilbert w. Caughran, who was held
up and shot twice by a lone high
wayman Thursday night, rallied
somewhat this morning, and the ply
sicians attending him now have
greater hopes for his recovery.
The most serious wound sustained
by MIR. Caughran in his struggle with
the thug Is the bullet hole through
his right lung. The other shot,
which entered the body near the col
larbone, is not giving Caughran ouch
pain, but as the physicians have not
yet removed either bullet, more dan
gerous complications may set in at
any time.

the wounds which may prove fatal
TO young Caughran Is still at large,
and as time passes the chance of his
capture grows more improbable, as
the outlaw has had ample opportuni-
ty to fee from the city.
The two revolvers which the hold
up dropped during his tessle with
Caughran are in the possession of the
police, but all efforts to find the place
where they were purchased have been
in vain.

MARKET QUOTATIONS.

Operations In the surrounding
oil fields have little to attract their
attention just at present. Stagna-
tion prevails In all fields and there
will be no revival so long as the
present weather conditions exist.
Many wells are shut down on &C
count of the small streams being
frozen up, and Others are idle for
the reason that the roads are SO Icy
supplies can not be hauled to them.
The roads are In fine condition for
teaming with the exception of the
Ice, which covers this section OF
country and makes hauling very
dangerous.

If the farmer pays a State tax OF
IS cents per $500 value on his
horse, cow, steer, sheep and hogs,
produced on his farm, why should
not the owner of the coal, oil and
gas pay on his production? The
producers are nearly all corpora
tious, using pipe lines and railroad,
and have the special right and
priviledges, which the farmer does
not of condemning land and taking
1t against the will Of the farmer,
and at any price which jury may
fix, for use OF the railroads or the
pipe lines. Is all this just and rea'
sonable?

Coal oil and gas have made the
fortunes of more men, and to a
greater amount, considering the
irst cost, than any other forms Of
production. Yet no direct tax Is
paid on any of them iu West Vir'

duces hay, grain and live stock
pays taxes on all his products unless
consu med within the FIRST year.

Fortunately, however, no one met

ested In the welfare of the young
of our city. This city has long need
ed some place of amusement to
keep the young folks out of the
saloons and houses of Ill repute,

noyance, some are complaining. The
pianos In the saloons can ring from
dark until daylight or throw any
other inducements out and there Is
not person In the city, seemingly,
that has back bone enough to say
a word, and the city officials will
tell you with regard to closing The
saloons of an evening, they can do
nothing, but when they can get a
lot of young folks to take advant-
age OF, they think they have done
great thing, the coasting was
stopped and other innocent amuse-
ments recently, while coasting Is
very dangerous, 1t Is nothing com
pared to the danger the young are
in, with open doors to the down
ward road before them every day
and night. We say let the rink go
on and If they skate until the wee
small hours of the morning, 1t Is
better than being In saloon or
disreputable house, let as all help
the young folks.

Some men believe they can win
success without advertising, but
the number of merchants who sue
ceeded In building a big business
without constant publicity Is so
limited that you can count 1t on
the fingers of the hand. On the
contrary the number Of men who
have found 1t possible to reach
success through advertising Is so
large that 1t would be di&cult to
count 1t at all. When the proper
tions are so vastly different It Is
astonishieg that all men do not
appreciate the importance of'this
