This j, equal justice for you

A VERY considerable proportion Of
the intelligent Republicans Of Jefer-
son county mean to vote the Demo
cratic State ticket because of the mi
quitous tax legislation that Mr.. Daw-
son is responsible tor. For the same
reason they will vote against Con-
gresham Dayton, who "butted in"
.lI helped frame the compromise
measures that we're substituted fol-
the original tax reform bills
IF there was registration law in
West Virginia this year the State
would 90 Democratic by at least 25,-
900. The Republicans seem to have
been wise not to permit this law to
become efective-aud yet the people
will not stand for such deliberate
thwarting of their expressed will, and
the registration law Is simply bound
to come, because it is right and the
voters have declared for it.
--------~-~--->--~~----~~-
REPUBLICAN orators are trying to
convince the people, and Republican
documents are being sent broadcast
over the State to the same effect, that
the new tax laws will not increase the
taxes Of the farmer and the person of
moderate means.
All we have to say to the people is,
read the law. If you can bring your
self to believe that increasing your
assessment will Iednce your taxes,
then vote for Mr. Dawson. But this
is risk we'd hate to take.

CRUDE WIRELESS OUTFIT.
Eighteen Year-Old Iowa Boy Displays
Ingenious Skill in Making In
struments of His Own.

Willie Peeler, aged Is. has completed
set of wireless telegraph instruments
from makeshift materials. says tie Fort
Dodge Ia-) correspondent of the New
York Herald.
In July young Peeler attended a lee
ture on liquid air and wireless telegra-
ply. He was SO impressed that he re-
NAMED after the lecture for further in
vestigation. The lecturer was meeting
others, and did not have time TO an
swer the questions put by the youth.
This, however, did not deter the lad from
making careful inspection of the in
struments.
Il can make that, and I'm going to
have one" he remarked TO a compan-
ion. And he did. His patience is shown
in the induction coil which he made. It
has 2lh miles of fine wire wound by hand
on a reel and required all of his even
ings for a week Each layer of wire IS
vanished and padded with layers OF
newspaper. Its power is sufficient TO pro-
duce waves that will carry mile.
Two copper plates were necessary TO
complete his system, but his limited
means derived from clerking in a
grocery store. did not permit of his buy
ing them at so cents each Nothing
daunted. he took two empty lard cans
and from the tops of these made the
necessary plates.
Silver filings in glass tube comprised
another needed part. An aluminium
cap and a sewing machine needle were
made to answer.

fortune TO be captured by Algerian pi-
rates. With many of his shipmates he
was sold into slavery For three years
he endured all the hardships and indig-
mites of his Imprisonment, buoyed up
by the hope that an opportunity TO es
cape would some day present itself. At
the end of this period, when he and his
comrades We're beginning to despair of
ever seeing their native land again, he
one day saw a stork flying about over
head. The sight OF the bird recalled to
him his old home, and he whistled to il
as he had been wont to do with his for
mer pet. To his great joy the stork
alighted on the ground near him and
came up as if expecting to be fed.
Conrad had no food with him at the
time. But the next morning he saved
a portion of his breakfast with which to
feed the bird. For several days he re-
peated this, until the stork became quite
friendly. The thought now flashed into
his mind: Why not make a messenger
of the stork? 1t would be flying north
ward in a little time and might prob
ably find its way to some Norwegian
town He determined TO make the ex
pertinent and having scribbled a few
lines on a scrap of tough paper. he tied
the latter securely to the birds leg. In
due course, when the time of migration
came round, the stork winged its way
from the African shore TO the northern
regions.
AS chance would have it, the stork
which he had elected to make his mes
senger was actually the one that had
been reared on his own house at home.
When it returned to Norway and sought
out its familiar resting place the fiut-
tering paper which it carried soon at
tracted the attention Of Conrad's
mother. Her joy on reading the mes
sage. and learning that her son was still
alive. may well be conceived. With the
paper in her hand the old dame ran down
the street, calling on all her good friends
to hear the news. Not only was her Con-
rad alive, but many another mothers son
from that town. and it was a thankful
gathering that assembled in the pas
tors house and gave thanks to God for
these wonderful tidings.
To cut long story short. an expedi-
ton was shortly afterward sent out to
rescue the captives from their slavery.
This was accomplished, though not
without difficulty, and the long-lost ones
returned to their own land.
When, in later years Conrad Jonas
sen became wealthy and was honored as
the leading citizen of his native place, a
stork was taken as the towns emblem.
The figure OF q stork was placed upon
the church and on the roofs OF the prin-
cipal buildings. And so the story Of
Conrad Jonassen's marvellous release
from captivity has been perpetuated for
the wonderment Of succeeding genera

MOLASSES TANK STEAMERS

There Is a company n Boston which
purchases large quantities OF molassas

in tank steamers. Nowadays there are
tank steamers plying between Atlantic
and the gulf ports, which carry molas-

CAPTIVE SAVED BY STORk.
Bird Carried a Message from Moorish
Prison to Quiet Town in
Distant Norway.

The story is told Of how, many years
ago, some English captives in Moor
ish prison were rescued through the
means OF a famous old hymn tune. A
British man-of-war had anchored of
a port near Algiers which was notorious
for the pirate craft that it harbored. AT
night. while all the crew except the
watch were asleep, a voice was heard
somewhere on shore singing a we'll
known air Some of the ships officers
were quickly summoned. and as they
listened and the singers voices-for
others had joined in-became louder
and clearer they recognized the notes
of the grand "Old Hundred"

their fellow countrymen lay imprisoned

Wonderful as this rescue may appear
it is perhaps surpassed by the story of
how Conrad Jonassen was restored to
liberty. Conrad was a Norwegian, and
as a boy had made a pet of a stork
which regularly visited his town. Year
after year the bird returned to where
it was always fed, to build its nest upon
the house roof and rear its brood of
young.

ANIMATED PAPER SERPENT.
Effective Than Some That Are
More Elaborate.

The animated serpent is one OF the
best of heat illusions, being great deal
more effective than many more elab-
crate. The serpent appears to be tire
less and automatic. for, though il has no
visible means of motion. yet il keeps
whirling for hours without st0p-that
is, if you wish to burn that much gas or
consume few pounds OF candles.
According TO the Chicago Inter Ocean.
the serpent is made by drawing a spiral
like Fig. L upon piece of stiff bristol
board. Cut the spiral out with 4 sharp
penknife. so that when you take hold
of the terminal portion, which repre-
sents tail. you get spiral of paper
with its lower end in the form. of q

end of the tail and hold the serpent over
