GREAT PRECAUTIONS
 TAKEN IN PARIS
MEN ARE MUCH CALMER IN STRIKE CIRCLES AND IT IS NOW BELIEVED MAY 1 WILL BE UNI EVENTFUL.

Paris, April 26-The prefect of police, M. Lepine this afternoon made a reassuring reply to hundreds of letters which an- xious citizens had addressed to the police. He said that all precautions had been taken to maintain order in the streets May 1 and prevent attempts against life or property.
 Besides the full police force, which will be on duty. endorsements consist ing of 2S, GOO infantry, cavalry and artillery will arrive here tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. These troops will be disposed throughout the city with precise orders Special surveillance will be maintained over the water and gas mains. In addl- ton to the troops mentioned eight squad rons of cavalry relieved from duty in the mining regions have been brought tc Paris and dragons and hussars are coming from many other points.
 In strike circles the men are much calmer. There has been no renewal oi the disorders and the return of the nor thern iron workers to their factories indi- cates a partial break up of the move ment in the mining regions.
 The workmen in numerous additional trades have announced their adhesion to the eight-hour movement. but the railroad men and employees of the provision trades do not intend to strike. The announce ment this afternoon that the big depart ment stores will remain open as usual served to reassure the public. The gov ernment has received the most positive assurance that the labor leaders do not intend to permit any disorder May 1. Ac- cordingly the governments view Is that there is not the slightest danger of serious trouble.
 The officials of the American embassy and consulate take a similar view. Many Americans have been making inquiries as to the desrabiity of leaving Paris and the answer given is that there is not the slightest danger.
 The trouble in the department of the Nord is considered to be over.
 The miners strike however. continues in the department of the Pas de Calais, where the troops have arrested seven teen of the ring leaders in the recent disturbances.

Every Heart Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood out of the heart, and sends it coursing through the veins to the remotest part of the body. This is, the amount required by nature to nourish and sustain your body. Every ounce less than this means a shortage in natures supply of building-up material. A weak heart cannot meet this demand, and conse- quently you suffer. If your heart skips a beat, or hutters, palpitates, pains you, or you have shortness of breath, you may be sure that the heart is working imperfectly.
 Dr. Miles Heart Cure will strengthen the heart muscles and nerves.

Upon investiga- ton of the matter Ehrman declares that he made the statement only as joke, not thinking it would have such an effect.

Educational rleetings

MR. S Thomas, of the State
Board of Examiners, mas just finish
ed an inspection of the school
work in Highland. As advertised,
he delivered three educational talks
in the county-one each at Nc
Dowell, Crabbottom and Monterey.
His talk here, on Thursday night,
was heard by gocdly number OF
citizens, tMagh the attendance
was not what it should have been.
Mr. Thomas is bright young man.

helpful to school boards in their
efforts to secure teachers &c. We
clip the following from the educa-
tional page of the Times Dispatch,
which gives an idea of the work
these men are doing in Virginia:
DIR Robert Frazer, a distinguish.
ed authority on educational mat
tDrs in Virginia, has prepared the
following statement on the subject:
"The work of the State Boari of
Examiners has gone beyond the ex-
perimental stage. if. indeed, there
ever was any such stage. Day at
ter day it is quietly bearing its
legitimate fruit in the way of
school developments and before
long every body must recognize IN
the creation Of this board the most
important step yet taken in Vir
glni. towards the real efficiency of
our public school system. The
members of the board are all
yonrg men, full of ,igor and fire,
and yet they have shown a spirit
of wisdom that would be admirable
even in men of mature age. The
qualifications they have are those
which come of training, experience
and devotion to high ideal. They
are perhaps the busiest set of pub
lie mea in the State, not measuring
their labor by the usual standards
of either time or distance. This
week they are up to the ears in
Office work, dealing with volnmi
nous correspondence. perplexing
problems, and, in general, the care
of all the schools. Next week they
burn the midnight lamp in Rich

unrested, they hasten on for

away, and then they take the road
and go from school 40 school. Civ

and other phases of their daily ron-
tine. And then, if need be, thev
take the teachers place and show
her how to do the work in hand.
ITO labors of this sort they give
necessarily. They are
not making any noise about it.
They are pursuing the even tenor
Of their helpful way in silence"

The South and Western reminds
one of the New River. It runs at

28S miles representing the length
Of the road, and the aggregate
length of these is 20, 1877 feet, some
thing over five miles. Much Of the
road is cut through solid rock, and
this is true not only with reference
to the tunnels, but also of the side
cuts high up on the mountain side,
sometimes half mile from the
valley.

Made Us Too Good

ThesBatll County Enterprise, af-
ter copying Monterey special TO
the Staunton Dispatch relative to
the killing of Calvin Morgan, calls
the reporter down on his statement
as to the number of murders in the
history Of Highland The Enter
prise says:
Our contemporary in the above is
'iiely mistaken about murders in
the good county of Highland. If
our memory pictures it right we re.
call that man by the name of
Nicholas was murdered in cold
blood just after the war, in Crab
bottom; then comes the murder of
E D. Atchison, who was taken ont
of Jail and lynched; The murderers
all fled from the county and have
never returned; then comes the un-
fortunate affair of Hook killing
Jones Just few years ago. So
this is not the second murder in
Highland by several.
The Recorder in it's account of
the Morgan killing was guilty of
the same oversight. In our report
of the case, we failed to note one
other murder case, to which our
attention has since been called. Ii
was that of the killing of Nicholas
by a man named Atchison, just
about the close of the war. As to
the other murders" cited by our
contemporary recalled them, but
they were lacking in similarity.
Tne idea in our MUD, and per-
haps the meaning also Of the
Staunton Dispatch reporter, was
the premeditated, cold-blooded taxi
ing Of one mans life bv another.
Since the matter has come up as
a question, we have heard of anoth-
er case of homicide which occurred
MANY years ago on the Bullpasture.
in which case death was inflict, d
by knife. wound. Instances of
this kind, where the accused escap
ed trial and punishment, are likely
to be overlooked by the young gen.

Railroad In Highland


An engineer corps has been i'll
Highland county for some months,
looking for line from West Vir-
GINA eastward. The auspices un-
der which they were sent out seem
to be unknown. They are suppos-
ed to be sent out by the Dayis and
Elkins interests, and this may he
true. Last week Henry G. Davis,
R. c. Kerns and Col. John T. Nc
Graw took horses, so the dispatches
say, and rode from Webster Springs
up Elk river into Pocahontas coun.
tv, reaching the railroad at Glover
Lick. This. for man in his eigh.
ties, as Mr.. Davis is would seem as
il he had something in view. A
line from Gassaway, Oh Elk, to a
connection with the G. & 0 at Sit
Iington, lor Clover Lick, or Marlin
ton, is not BY half so gigantic a
proposition as the road from Par
sons up Blackwater to Hendricks,
which was the first road Mr.. Davis
ever built, nor indeed over the AL
leghany mountain to Back Creek
in Highland county. But troubles
begin at the top Of ALLEGHENY
mountain and from there into the
VALLEY Of Virginia the line is one
of difficulty and great cost. We
worked that out fully when with
the Chesapeake Western Railway.
We have heard that MIR. Elkins
sent engineers into Highland coun-
ty four years ago to survey line
from the head of Greenbrirr river
in Pocahontas, across the ALE
ghany into Highland, by Monterey
east to Harrisonburg. and gave
them no limitation, save that they
must keep within certain grade.
His engineer worked faithfully and
went over every inch of ground,
and when he had been over it told
Mr.. Elkins that such a line was
impossible. aud that 1t was much
like digging the Panama canal.
This. of course, settled matters for
a while, but this is dav of rail
way building. Over $4,000 miles
Of new road are now under corr

south line. We belieYe Highland
