The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-08-09

We hear some complaint from Nor.
gantown anent the real estate assess.
ment for next year.. Both George C.
Baker and Charles A. Goodwin have
discovered many inequalities in the
work Of the Land Commissioner, and
they say that II these be not correct.
ed the Republican party will be wreck.
ed Mr.. Goodwin goes so far as to
assert that 1t will result in two Dem.
ocrats going to the Legislature from
Monongalia. This seems foolish talk
to us. The Republican party is not
responsible for the inequalities. II
the work has been improperly done
1t is the fault of the nan who did it
the Land Commissioner. The Repub.
lican party is responsible for the new
tax system, and we are proud to say
1t, but 1t should not be held accounta.
bic for the acts of its individual mem.
bers. The Monongalia Land Commits
sioner may not be as competent for
his position as some others, and while
he may be ever So competent. yet he
may have made mistakes. If it turn
out that he has done so, the law is
plain that the county court shall cor.
rect them without cost to the tax
payer, hence we see no cause for Mo.
Mongolia going Democratic or for
Messrs. Baker and Goodwin becoming
daft.

Col. Henry Watterson, of the Louis.
vile Courier-Journal, remarked the
other day that while not dead in love
with either President Roosevelt or
Col. Bryan, he thought rather more of
the former than of the latter. He said
he was not prepared to follow in the
footsteps of the Nebraskan-that once
or twice was enough for him.

surf just above the steel pier yester-

end of a life line and deity threw the
moose over o'Connell's head and
shoulders and drew him in the boat.

II the Register meant to be unkind
in its sarcastic remarks we want to
say that It succeeded SO far as we are

We believe that we were a little
hasty in saying that the Petersburg
State Journal is in favor Of Senator
Elkins as his own successor in the
Senate. According to its most re-
cent expressions we have come to
the conclusion that it is not much
stronger in its support of the Ran
dolph statesman than the West vir-
ginian.

Supposed Incendiarism.

S. Shamberger, versatile little gen
tleman who came to Butler some week.
ago and started jewelry and optica
store in the Wuller store room, mex
door to c. Stocks on S. Main St, came
back to Butler. Monday evening, and
was promptly jailed on charge of will
fully and maliciously setting fire to his
store with the intention of defrauding
the insurance company.
He and his family, who occupied the
second story of the building, were in
Pittsburg, celebrating Yom Kippur, the
Hebrew day of atonement; he is said to
have sent away part of his goods, Sat
urday. and to have been last seen at his
store, Sunday morning.
That evening some young men pass
ing the store room noticed that it was
full of smoke, and broke in and at
tempted to extinguish the flames. but
they spread rapidly-almost instanta-
neously-and the hose companies had to
be called, by which time the whole in
terror and everything in it were ruined.
They smelled burning oil as soon as
they entered, and after the fire an in
vestigation discovered several milk-bot-
ties and other vessels filled with oil,
with candles arranged to set it afire
when they burned down TO it.
Incendiarism was Immediately sus-
pected, word was sent to the express
offices to stop the delivery of the ship
ped goods, and an information was
made against Shamberger.
Shamberger's stock was alleged to be
worth SIS 900 and was insured by the
McJunkin agency for $4,000. The
District Attorney fixed his bail at
