TESTED The
STRONG MANS CANNON

The strong man of a theatrical COM
pany which is en- route to Australia on
the Sonoma is an object of interest TO
his fellow passengers. He practices
daily, using big weights to keep his
musclessin trim. Occasionally he takes
a passenger, raises him bodily above
his head, tWirls him about two or
three times and then brings him down
gently to the deck again. In his bag
gage is a cannon and several cannon
balls
The Auckland and Sydney baggage
was placed on the Oceanic dock yes
terday in order to get some Honolulu
stuff out from under, and the cannon
and cannon balls in cases remained on
the dock for sometime. Blrbe, the
gatekeeper, is rather doubtful about
the Solidity of the cannon for he said
he lifted the box and found it light
It must be SO for Birbe has said it.
However. the strong man, throws the
cannon into the air. catches it on his
neck, and tWirls it about his little fin
ger, according to fellow passengers.

TWO BIG BEET
SUGAR FACTORIES

NEW YORK. May 27.-The Great
Western Sugar Company, which has
filed certificates of increase of CAPT
talization, intends to use the 10000,
OO0 new capital in the construction of
two beet-sugar factories. The fac
tories will be built at Brush, Col, and
at Fort Morgan. The company is the
holding company of the Havemeyer
beet-sugar properties. H o. Have
meyer is president. A large block of
stock is held by the American Sugar
Refining Company. Individuals con-
nected with that company have large
holdings. and most of the remainder
is held by Colorado men who sold out
their properties to the company.
The decision of the company to con-
struct new plants is based partly, it
is believed on the increased profits
derfvable from the passage of the free
alcohol bill.

MORE MONEY WILL BE NEEDED

From The Charleston Gazette.
The States revenues will run
something like two hundred md fifty
thousand dollars short this year.
The appropriations for next year
are about as much as they are for
this, and therefore, unless more
money is raised than will be gather
ed in this year, there will be another
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars deficit added 10 the one for
this year. If 1t is intended next
year TO do away with the deficit,
then the State will be compelled to
gather in the way of taxes FIVE hun
dred thousand dollars more than the
amount collected this year. Then
there is another phase of the matter.
The appropriation bill passed by
the last Legislature carries less
money for building purposes than
has been appropriated by any Legis-
laturc for many YEAR,. When the
next Legislature meets there will be
a great demand for money for build.
ings, and some of them will be 50
insistent that they will not be put
off. Those who come demanding
will make it plain TO the Governor
that when appropriations are made
for the buildings they want Il will
not be well for him to veto such ap.
propriations and he will not do II.
Therefore, it will take largely in.
creased amount Of revenue 70 meet
the demands then made. Now does
anybody suppose this largely in.
creased amount can be collected
without increasing the amount TO b,
paid by the ordinary taxpayer
The day Of reckoning must come.
and when it arrives It will be vel
for the promoters Of the fake reform
cult II they can escape 70 the eye

lKINGWOOD PRESTON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. THURSDAY j
WHOSE OK is soREp f,


From the rarkersburg Dispatch.
In list of eight petitions pre-
sented to the Ohio County Court
and acted ON by that body, we see
thatthe In,elligencer Publishing Co..
was allowed a reduction of SIR, 900;
the Telegraph Publishing Co., sr7,-
900; and the News Publishing Co.,
$4,000. The three newspapers
published by the trio of corporations
are owned and controlled by the
same people. In the agitation for
tax reform, they led the, extremists
who went daft with their fanatical
ideas, many of which they had set
their heart on having enacted into
laws, being defeated by the more
conservative sentiment. Their fight
was a vicious one, 1t will be recalled.
They lampooned with pictures and
paragraphs, every persons VII o
dared to object to their extreme
views, or who had suggestion to
make at variance with their own
ideas. Everybody who was not ac-
lively on their side, was promptly
characterized tax-dodger, maligned
and charged with dishonesty. Howl
ing because number of their pet
schemes failed of passage, they ad-
hered Enthusiastically to that much
of their extreme ideas as were inter-
woven into the new laws. They
pointed to their alleged perfection,
before they got into operation and,
most astounding of all. they main
tanned that the assessors under the
new system could not err in Judg.
ment nor prove lax in moral turpi-
tude. We have seen here in Wood
county, and in our neighboring
counties, how the assessors judg-
ment hasn't proven infallible, and
now we assume that IL has been
shown to be faulty even in Ohio
county, allowing that the petition
of these three newspapers granted
because OF the absolute merit of
their representations to the court.
However, the influence of tn
Wheeling Newspaper Trust in
Wheeling is such as to arouse sus-
picion, as well as its reputation for
getting all that they can get. The
fact that these three journals, which
proclaimed the astounding PROPOSE
ton that an assessor under the new
laws could do no wrong, should be
among the first TO ciamor for relief
from 'irue and actual value" as
sessment, is interesting. They are
guilty of doing precisely what they
charged others as being tax dodgers
for doing. Day by day the hypocracy
of those fake tax reformers from
Dawson down is being shown up.

There Is story going the rounds
of the War Department now that
had its basis in the canteen discus
sion. There is an estimable gentle
man IN Washington who makes il
his business to see that the universe
runs right and who continually
writes to the newspapers and butts
into the departments in pursuance
Of his self imposed task. He broke
into the Bureau of Insular Affairs
the other day and tackled Col.
Edwards, the chief OF the Bureau,
on the canteen question and on
temperance in the island possessions
of the United States. He did not
get much encouragement, and be-
coming heated, declared that the
American army was hotbed of
soaks and drunkards. Col. Ed
wards told him il he wanted TO in
suit the army he would have TO do
it somewhere else and threw him
out by the shoulders, aiming kick
at the most prominent part of his
disappearing frame. The kick
missed, but the indignant citizen
rushed down the hall and broke in
on Secretary Taft. demanding the
instant court martial or summary
dismissal Of the officer who had
affronted him. He told the story
pretty much as it had happened and
demanded quick action on the case.
The Secretary of War looked grave
and rang for Col. Edwards, whom
he put through severe examina-
tion az to the details of the assault.
"Is it true" inquired the Secre
tary, ''that you threw him out of
your Office after his remarkr"
at is sir" replied the Colonel.
with a tightening of the jaws.
''And you kicked at him and
narrowly escaped hitting hima,'
"Quite true sir"
"Then l want you to understand
SIR" said the Secretary, sternly," :"
that you are officially reprimanded
for defective craftsmanship"

CnARLEsToNs NEW YEARS GlFl.

The opening of the Coal and
Coke road, which event will take
place not later than the first OF Janu-
airy, means the placing OF Charles
ton four hours nearer Washington
and the large cities OF the east than
at present. II meant further the
expansion of Charleston's . wholesale
trade into territory where practically
no goods could he sold before. Ii
brings Charleston in close connec-
tion with number OF counties,
which till recent years bad no rail-
roads and therefore have not been
able to develop their natural re.
sources--Charleston News.
And who Is the man that Charles
ton owes this debt of gratitude to
The man who has done more to
develop West Virginia than any
other man IN the State. He riskcd
his fortune in developing West vir-
ginia when other men were too timid
or had no faith in the resources OF
the State. This man is none other
than the Hon. Henry G.. Davis,
West Virginia's grand old man.
He has built the Coal and Coke
road without any glare OF trumpets,
which is usually the custom of the
Machine organs when some member
of the Machine does something
worthy OF notice.
When Henry G.. Davis was can.
didate for the Vice Presidency the
Machine organs could not find Ian
guage sufficiently strong to denounce
him, while they were lauding the
grafters and defending their inqui-
ties. They pursued the same policy
when Col. Thos. b. Davis was a
candidate for Congress. And when
the people of the Second Congress
sional District honored Col. Davis
with seat in Congress the organs
became boisterouslY angry in their
denunciation. Some OF the more
vicious organs are still denouncing
Col. Davis, who, next to his distin.
guished brother, has been the pio-
neer in the development of West
Virginia's resources. The people of
the State can never pay the debt
they owe the Davis brothers.

REAL ROBINSON CRusoRs.
For THE ARGUS:

In some school readers is a poem
on Alexander Selkirk by Cowper,
in which is presented a most for.
bidding picture of person living
away from all sight of his fellows.
1t is alleged that Selkirk's expert
ence inspired Defoe to write his
immortal Robinson Crusoe. Blu,
there have been real Crusoes, vol
untary ones at that, and what may
sesm even more strange. they ap.
peared TO prefer hermit life.
On little tropic island in the
Pacific. 500 miles west of Costa
Rico, lived an old man and his
wife for at least sixteen years.
Ships touched there few times, but
they were contented to remain.
They raised oranges, bananas and
sweet potatoes, made their own
vine and coffee, and the old man
smoked his own cigars. The island
was once resort of the buccaneers
who used to make 1t so hot for the
Spaniards. One OF those pirates
hadseveral hundred rebellious sailors
shot there, aud the hermit some
times found bones while tilling the
soil. But he never found the treas
ure which the same pirate is said to
have hidden.
Another Crusoe spen; fourteen
months on an island 100 miles west
of the Central American coast.
The island belongs to a guano com
pany and he went there as watch
man. In all that time he saw but
one vessel. and he did not meet any
of its crew. His only companions
were a dog, dozen chickens, the
swarms OF sea fowl, and the big
though harmless crabs that crawl
over the barren island. The dog
was friendly, and he grew so at
tached to his chickens that he would
not eat any of them. The sea fowl
had so little fear of him that he
could lift them off their nests. He
kept on good terms with them, al
though he used their eggs. The
dog and the roosters made almost
the only noises he heard. He said
that while he would sometimes get
lonely for human companion, the
feeling would soon wear off. He
enjoyed excellent health and the
calm and the absence of worry
made the noise aud excitement OF
civilization seem disagreable to him
after he left the island. He said
he would NOT mind going. back.
Still another hermit was a Cali
fornia doctor who lived some time
on an island off the coast of Lower
California. He was sent TO hold
possession for mining company,
although he had frequent chances
to leave he preferred to remain.
After while he was Joined by his
mother and still later by a ship
wrecked sailor. The schooner
which touched at the island once in
every six weeks left him provisions
and reading matter. The doctor
had a streak of laziness in his make
up, for he did not keep garden
but preferred to ramblc about the
island and kill goat now and then.
As Robinson Crusoe watched Out
for cannibals, so this philosophical,
educated doctor kept lookout foI
guano pirates and goat killing
thieves. And like the other guano
watchman, he felt a charm in his
hermit life. He declared he was
we'll and happy, and would sooneI
contemplate nature on his sea giri
rocky isle than 70 dwell in city al
a "greasy, hoggish millionaire"
Every one to his taste, as the
French proverb puts IL.
