burg Tuesday morning.
There are couple of dozen cases
of smallpox in the village of Pawpaw
and vicinity, Morgan county.
Joseph Boone, the Oldest resident
of Morgan county, died on Tuesday.
aged 90 years. He was native OF
Boonsboro, Nd.
There is good deal of smallpox
along the line of the B. & o. Railroad
in West Virginia. There are many
cases in Morgan county, one or two in
Hampshire county. more or less OF
the disease in Cumberland, and Graf.
ton is scared up from the same trou-
bic.
The Monongalia county grand jury
has returned 800 indictments against
80 persons. The majority Of the in.
dictments are for misdemeanors and
minor offences. The most prominent
persons indicted are retail druggists
and physicians, who it is alleged have
sold liquor on false prescriptions.
George Ashby Shifet, boy Is
years old, was run over by B. & 0.
freight train near North Mountain
last Thursday evening. With one
leg crushed off he lay along the tracks
ali night. He was taken to the hos
pital at Martinsburg, where he died
some hours afterward. His home was
in Page county, Va, and he had been
roaming about the country.
Here is the way local correspond
ent of a West Virginia weekly de-
scribes the visit of a lady into the
community: "She is still enjoying the
hospitality of her hosts and will prob
ably defer her home-going until the
gladstone sunshine of the expectant
spring shall cause to bloom on West
Virginia's snow-capped hills the fra
grant and picturesque trailing arbutus
and absorb from her winding roads
the rather unpicturesque and obstuent
remains Of winter OF 80 SHOWS"
Charged with being in collision
with the intention of detrauding the
government, NJ. L. Carter, distlller,
of Mercer county, and Ellsworth Nc
Coy, government gauger, employed
there, have been taken into custody
of Federal officers and will be tried
soon at Huntington. The charge is
made that false cistern was used in
aiding the distiller to carry on an
illicit business in connection with that
which was authorized. Every other
mash, it is claimed, was guaged and
reported by the guager, and the 9TH
ers stored in the cistern. The arrests
were the result Of letter which AS
sistant Revenue Collector w. Z.
White received from Virginia col
lectol informing him that the Carter
concern was selling whiskey cheaper
than it could be distilled.

How busy the wrens are They
sing as if il were their bounden duty
to entertain the world, and their
little threats fairly burst as they pour
forth their beautiful songs. And
their cousins, the peewees, seem equal
ly ambitious, though not SO gifted in
voice. And the saucy catblrds, what
remarkable songsters they are They
are not to be despised as rivals OF the
mockingbirds, for they can initiate
most of the ordinary birds and throw
in a few extra trills besides. The
first orioles were seen by Observer
last Saturday. Their song is as
characteristic as their coloring. The
oriole has an individuality all of his
own, even to the way he builds his
nest, and he car sing all day with
out getting hoarse. The lettuce birds,
those dear little yellow fellows, have
also come, so now we have all of our
usual visitors, excepting the hummlng
birds.

A drive or walk along some quiet
country road or by woodland path
Just now will reveal charming fea-
lures of bird life. There is probably
no sweeter sound in nature than the
song Of the lark. Standing erect on
some juttlng rock in field of living
green, or perched high in some tree,
his faultless notes are simply enchant-
ing. Brown thrushes, too, are very
numerous as they fit through the
vines and bushes along the fences.
Bobolinks are about, hIcker8 are fit
ting, the song sparrows are singing,
and here and there may be seen birds
that are so unfamiliar that only an
ornithologist may know their names.
The doves are setting now on their
carelessly made nests, and their mourn
full notes seem to be anticipatory of
family troubles. Alas for the part
ridgesl The long, cold, snowy winter
was hard on them, and now they are
few and far between. Observer has
seen but one this year, and Bob
White seldom calls.

Africa for the Negro.

America for the white man, Africa
for the Negro" said Bishop Turner,
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, in an address delivered be-
fore an educational mass-meeting in
the Bethel African Methodist Eplsco-
pal Church, in New York, the other
day.
at is not possible for the negro to
attain full manhood rights in this
country" said he, because it is a
white mans land; nation of white
institutions, white ideas, white thought.
The duty of the negro is, generally
speaking, to absorb all the good things
America can give him and then re-
turn to the country of his forefathers
to spread education and light among
the black people Of the Dark Continent.
1.-The negro race, like every race in
the infancy of civilization, lie an imita-
tive race. Colored people may at
tain great things, but they cannot car
ry their gifts to the highest consum-
nation in this country. Let the me-
groes return to Africa and build up
the black mans land. 1t will not be
a labor OF years. 1t will take decades
and generations and even centuries,
but it is the only reasonable solution
of the much discussed race problem. "

Politics In the Second District.

John Wallace, the West Virginia
editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch, writes
his paper as follows Of conditions in
this State
Good politics was played by the
Democrats of the Second Congression-
al district at Keyser last week, when
they nominated Colonel Thomas B.
Davis for the Dayton vacancy in the
House of Representatives. If that
nomination will not embarrass Sena-
tor Elkins they miss their guess The
Senators wife is a daughter of Henry
G. Davis, the late Vice Presidential
candidate, who is Colonel Tom elder
brother. Five years ago the Colonel
was a candidate against Judge Day
ton, and on that occasion Senator Ell
klns was forced to show his hand,
which incidentally caused family
mixup. He laid low last fall when
his father.in-law was candidate for
Vice. President, and he is not expect
ed to be perniciously active a second
time against the brother Of Henry G.
Senator Elkins is Justly given credit
for the nomination OF James S. L4kin,
the Republican candidate.
Following the Lakin nomination
Senator Elkins gave out that he
would actively support the nominee.
It's incumbent upon him to get ac-
tive in West Virginia politics, for his
large business interests and his resi-
dence in Washington have got him
out of touch a good deal with polltl-
cal developments of late in this State.
This special congressional election
would give him an opportunity to
make up for time lost last fall, when
his father-in-law was on the Demo-
cratic national ticket, but the unex-
pected nomination of Colonel Tom
will put him in corner, the Demo-
Gratis think.
IF Lakin is not supported actively
now because Of the Davis nomination,
it follows that Lakin's friends will
feel sore toward the Senator, and thus
he will have trouble on both sides in
selecting his legislature next year.
The Democrats care more particularly
about that proposition than they do
about a Congressman. They know
also that when Senator Elkins said ne
would actively support Lakin for cleo
ton that he meant substantially. But
will EIkins spend his money against
his relatives? Will he not prefer
peace around the family circle? are
questions asked.
Candidate Lakin announces he
will not essay speech-maklng cam
paign. In this he shows good Judge
ment, for, like Mare Antony, he is
a plain, blunt man. Colonel Tom is
also not an orator, like Brutus was
Therefore, the Democrats met the Re-
publicane at their own game by put
ting up business man instead of the
conventional lawyer. Mr.. Lakin ex-
poets to hand-shake his way to Con-
.gress with the assistance of the full
Republican vote. His campaign COM
mittee will circulate letters among the
$4,000 Republican voters and to some
extent among the Democrats. There
Is to be no speech-making. The cleo
ton will be held June 6. 1t is to be
campaign between two business
men, one about As years, the other II.
1t will cost much to get out the vote,
and as Mr.. Lakin is not rich, Senator
Elkins is expected to stop the leaka'
ges."
