On a farm about a mile from

a farmer named Smith, with his
wife, his daughter aud hIs son

One Sunday recently dis.
pute arose between them with
reference to the right to a gar

On one side we're ranged the
father, mother and daughter; on
the other the son Very soon
the old and the young man were
in hand grips and struggling
violently.
The sister came TO h err
fathers assistance and it is
stated that she held her broth
er so as TO enable the old man
to drive a pltchfork through
his eyes
While the horror was being
enacted the mother appears to
have attacked the unfortunate
young fellow with a heavy
stone.
He fe ! to the ground bleeding
and suff ering horribly from his
injuries. He was soon after
ward removed to a hospital, but
did not long survive.

Reflections of a.BacheICr.

If a man married his cook
probably she would give notice
just the same.
A girl can like most any man
unless her parents want her
to marry him.
There is so much talk in poll
tics it is no wonder woman
think they ought to be in it.
A woman has faith that a man
can protect her from burglars,
but knows nothing on earth
can from mice.
One reason a boy has good
time away in boarding school is
nobody expects him to be good
the way his mother does at
home. New York Press.

LIFT THE BOYCOTT.

Clarksburg and Clarksburgers
were largely responsible for the con-
struction of the West Virginia Short
Line railroad. 1t is more than like
" that that road would not be on
the map, had it not been for the ac-
tiyity and sacrifice made on this end
and yet what does it avail the people
of this city? The present owner
ship, and it has always been so in
reference to the Short Line, evident
ly designs a boycott on Clarksburg.
There has never been a time since
the road was opened for traffic that
a train from New Martinsville came
is sooner than noon, or not very
much sooner at least. And then
persons arriving here must leave
within two hours, a space Of time too
limited to do any sort Of business in
a satisfactory manner, much less. an
amount of any volume. They must
jump from place to place in order
to get back home the same dav or
remain until the next and arise at
an hour that is not even healthy
much less pleasureable or comfor-
able even.
From the way trains are run on
that line it appears to the general
public that Wheeling is given prefer
ence over Clarksburg and certain it
is that that city derives greater trade
benefit by the present manner Of
running passenger trains over the
road. The same Is true as to mails.
In view Of these facts the business
men of Clarksburg should make an
organized effort to induce the man.
agement Of the Short Line to give.

FRUITS or ELLIOTTS
LETTER.


The Elliott letter has born an en-
trely different sort of fruit from
that the author expected, when he
wrote it. 1t is fair to assume that
the object was to either get money
from the Standard Oil Company or
to make the impression that legisla-
ton could not pass, or in this in
stance be prevented from passing,
without he had a hand in it. The
letter was bid for money; also a
missiye to ingratiate Elliott into the
good graces of the Standard, or. if
he be there already. to make him
still stronger with that company.
1t may have been both, but the
careless manner in which he handled
it and the subsequent exposure have
not likely elevated him and his abil-
ity as ii lobbyist in the opinion Of
the Standard. However, if reports
are to be believed the letter has had
far reaching effect in another direc-
ton, one least intended and desired
by the Major, and it may yet result
in the decapitation Of his official
head.

with its ugly insinuations. Governor
White telegraphed TO President
Roosevelt that federal office holders
were lobbying in the legislature. He
followed this with a personal visit
TO the President. When the matter
once reached the President It did
not take him lougfto take action !:
and the action was far-reaching. 1t

in California, Florida, Maine and
other states as well as in West yir-
ginia. For ffris reason Mr.. Elliott
has been the unwilling cause of a
hard blow at very annoying species
Of lobbying.
Attorney General Moody issued 4
general order TO all federal employees
and office holders of certain class.
The order is as follows:
1t has come to nv attention that
in the past, as well y at the present
time, district attorneys and marshals
and their subordinates have been
employed in their respective states
as attorneys or otherwise in promot-
ing or opposing the enactment of

improper methods are used, is recoe-
nized as professional duty. which
may properly be performed bv coun-
sci. But it is believed that such
work ought not to be undertaken BY
those who hold federal offices.
Therefore. district ATTORNEYS. assis-
tant attorneys. United States mar

work. These instructions do not
