LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE
Wants an Investigation.


FRosrBURG, Mp, September 1, 1896
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Having read the article in your issue
of August 25th concerning my action in
connection with the issue of franchise
to the West Virginia Central Gas Com
pany, which | would have answered
sooner, but wished to bring the matter
before Mayor and Council at the regular
meeting, Sd inst, before replying to
"TaX-Payer' i'll your paper, let me do
so now.
In answer | want to say that my aC-
ton is on record in the Councils pro-
ceedings, and what | did was done after
careful investigation-and complete can
vass of the heavier taxpayers of the
town, who, with one exception, favored
the grant.
In fact, two of the largest taxpayers
expressed Willingness to pay the Gas
Company to come IN, provided we could
not make other terms with them.
| am perfectly willing, therefore, to
let the public be the judge of my duty in
voting for this franchise.
Now, if "TaXPayer," as he calls HIM
self, although he has another (Which, |
believe, | know thinks he has evidence
that will show a single dishonest or dis
honorable action of mine in official
capacity as a public servant, | want him
to publish same in the JOURNAL, and
give me fair chance to defend myself.
In doing this he will let me and other
parties interested in his letter of August
18th and also the public know who is
being used to further the contemplate
action of other men who are not manly
enough to come out in the open and show
their hands, but will use some poor,
weak tool in their attempt to injure the
reputation of other men, proving beyond
doubt that they are without honor or
principle and pOssessors of souls so small
that one could take ten thousand and
put them i'll single chair, there to

Brewers Support
Pure Food Bill
Beer Shown to be One of the Purest
of All Food Products.

The brewers Of the United States as
an association and individually, nave
been staunch supporters of the Ma
tional Pure Food Bill. Their support
has not been a half-hearted acqules-
cence but a whole souled, earnest, en-
ergetic effort to have enacted a law
that will give the people what they
are entitled to-pure, wholesome 1000.
Beer, when properly made, is one or
the purest. most wholesome foods
known. With the hard working man
nothing can take the place of beer with
his lunch-or with his meals. 1t
quenches his thirst and furnishes him
nourishment. Pabst Beer is shown by
analysis to be absolutely pure and u
per cent food value (the same as good
millS). This high percentage OF food
value of Pabst beer is due to the eA-
elusive Pabst eight-day malt. Malt
for brewing is usually made in four
days, but Pabst Malt is made In eight
days, retaining all of the rich nutrition
of the grain. Malt made by the usuai
four-day process produces thin, hard
beer that lacks the rich flavor and the
nigh food value of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Offerings of Choice Steers Were
Snapped Up Readily at
Steady Values
SET BACK IN HOG MARKET
scalpers' Activity W.s Responsible for
Better Tone at the Opening, But
Packers Refused to Pay More Than
Steady Prces-Gain Made in Choice
Grades Of Sheep.

Chicago, July 1O.-Cattle-The mar
ket was steady to strong on steers Inc
bulk of native offerings were rather
poor quality and choice steers were
snapped up readily, at steady values.
The relative scarcity of strictly
choice kinds has revived the optimistic
traders bullishness and the realization
of higher prices for top kinds spurred
them on to make predictions OF still
higher level for the prime grades IN
the next few weeks, tho most OF the
traders were not inclined to view the
situation affecting trade for plain and
medium steers as particularly bright
and indicative of higher prices for such
kinds.
They argue that the country holds a
plentiful supply of habitat and gras-
sy cattle and is marketing them at a
pace fast enough to hold the price
range for such about in the present
notch, despite any prospective upward
trend Of the top classes.
The beef market just now is in quite
satisfactory shape, but principal call
is for the good cuts. and this is strong
ly evidenced by buyers urgent orders
for the best fat steers and Indifference
toward the palmer grades and also
common and grassy cows and heifers.
Exporters are after the better kinds In
preference to the medium steers.
The demand Cor stockers and feeders
from eastern sources of late has been
disappointment and the shortage OF
pastures in many sections of this state
lis accountable for the slack demand.
Few cattle sold above $4.15 yesterday,
and the bulk of medium to good feed
lers made $3.60@4.00. according to
weight and quality Poor thin lots
ranged down to 1910 and some. infer
ior little stockers below $2.75. Strictly
choice feeders were quotable above
s4.25 and traders said the strength
in the fat beef steer market these days
should encourage broader demand for
the better grade feeders
Hogs.
Hogs opened strong, scalpers' activ-
ity being responsible for the better
tone. This was followed by set back
as soon as the regulars came into the
trade. Packers refused to pay more
than steady prices.

Des Mones, July 10.-The weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
July 9, follows:
There was an average daily deh-
cheney of to degrees in the temIera-
ture of the past week. The days were
moderately warm, but the nights We're
cooler than usual in the first week of
July Except n few localities the
rainfall was below the normal, but
there is an ample supply of moisture
in the soil for the present needs OF all
crops. The cool nights and moderate
warmth by day afforded excellent con-
ditions for the growing crops of spring
wheat, oats and barley, checking the
spread of rust in the late seeded fields
And there was sufficient warmth for
the healthful growth of corn, which is
now being laid by in very fine condi
ton. In the southern districts the bulk
of the crop has been laid by. and in all
districts good progress has been made.
Haying is we'll begun, and the quality
OF tine crop is very good, tne yf3lu Is
generally below normal. Winter wheat,
rye and early oats are being cut in the
southern section, and the yield lis fair
to good. All minor crops are doing
well.

A New Orleans Heroine.

In the city of New Orleans are APP
proximately 100000 white men and
boys, says Everybody's Magazine. or
these 1500---three out of every 200 you
meet In the street-are dependent for
their education this year, for the OPP
portunity to learn to read and write
and so to advance their sta
ton In ife--for all this absolutely de-
pendent on one woman. This woman,
whose Importance to the city is so
great that if by any sad chance her ac-
tivity were to cease, 1 " per cent OF It's
white male population would find itself
deprived of hope, is not rich, but poor.
She is SO poor that before she can give
an hour and a dollar for the helpless
ones who need her, she must give an
other hour to pay her own expenses for
the day. She is so poor that she has
even earned her own education as she
has given it out, studying sometimes
but a day ahead of her pupils. She is
frail crippled, very weak; she goes
about in a steel harness and on
crutches Tho she is still under mid
die age her hair is as white as snow,
from days and nights of unrelieving
suffering.
From morning till mid-afternoon she
teaches in private school to earn
money for her charities. From mid
afternoon until evening. if able to work,
she devotes herself to the needs of
those poorer than she. From supper
time till 8. till 10, TIL midnight If need
be, she faces the multitude of men and
boys--boys OF and men ct 50--who
have come to her for help. Sometimes
two in a seat, sometimes on boards be-
tween the seats, sometimes on the
edges of platforms and the treads of
starways and against the walls of the
Railways, they crowd her schoolhouse,
while she and her assistants are every
where among them, hearing recita-
tons, giving aid and counsel explain
ing, arguing, laughing, encouraging
stirring the solid, sodden mass of the
city's poor with leaven of hope and pos
sibility.
