IAN this talk about the loco weed
killing so many saddle horses in this
county during the past two months is
nothing short of a farce, said Geo
Merwin, the Walnut Grove stockman
and rancher, to Prescott Journal.
Miner reporter.
1t is the ticks in the animals ears,
he said, that causes the trouble. | be-
lieved this loco story until found out
from my own observations that was
wrong. Some years the parasites are
worse than in others. Many years ago
while in Texas noticed that at times
the ticks were so bad that the foxes
and rabbits would die from their raw
ages.
The cure is a very simple one, he
continued. Whenever noticed my
stock getting thin and shaking their
ears and head, tie the head of the
afflicted animal, and pour lard or oil in
its ear. This appears to loosen the hold
of the insect, and the beasts easily get
rid of the pest 10y simply shaking the
head.
There may be something in the loco
story, but ! cannot believe it. | have
treated large number of my cattle and
horses in the way | suggest and al.
though the ticks are very bad this sea-
son | have not lost hoof."

FIGHT FOR ORGANIZATION.
COMBAT rs WARM FOR CONTROL
OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
Senator Forran and James Leamaa
Seem 70 Lead IN the Rununing--
For House cier<ship.

Charleston, W. va, Dec 4-Specula.
ton as to organization Of the house
and senate is still rife. Some days ago
it was given out that the administra~
ton had fixed up slate with Senator
Forman as president of the senate and
the Hon. James Seaman as speaker of
the house. Whether this charge is
true or not 1t is generally conceded by
all observers here upon the best infor.
nation obtainable to date, that these
two gentlemen seem to be in good
shape to win the coveted prizes.
The Hon. Oliver s. Marshall, of
Brooke, was here few days ago in
futherance Of his candidacy for pres
ident of the senate, but it is not
thought he will be able to land the
prize.
The biggest fight is over the house
clerkship. Among the candidates is
Douglas Hughes, brother of Congress-
man James A. Hughes of Huntington,
who claims he has the promise of
Governor Dawson's assistance and in
fiuence. The Hon. Fred Paul Gross
cup, speaker of the last legislature, is
also candidate and his friends claim
Dawson and are making the fight on
that ground. Opposed to him locally
is Mont Topping, formerly chief clerk
of the legislature. Considerable bad
blood politically exists between the
two latter. 1t is charged that Top
ping worked against the nomination
of Grosscup in the primary in order
to dispose of an honor coming to
Kanawha that would destroy his
chances for the clerkship, and it is
said that Grosscup's candidacy for
the clerkship is one for revenge only
to beat Topping.
1t is not thought here that Harry
Shaw will make any light for the POI
sition, which he has held three con-
secutive times. For clerkship of the
senate 10 one seems to have the
nerve to contest the place with John
Harris, of Parkersburg, who is thought
to have a cinch.
1t is learned here that F. r. Evans,
of Mingo, and ]. T. Carskadon, of
Mineral, are also in the fight for
speakership of the house, but if either
has developed strength it has not
been made manifest here.

DoN'TS FOR GIVING.
How to Do the Right Thing on Christ
mas.

Don't make presents because You
have" to; only because you want to.
Don't be afraid to give something
within your means; nothing is in
worse taste than to give expensive
gifts when you cannot afford it.
Don't think: He gave me a two
dollar present last year; l gave him
only dollar-and-a-half one; this year
I'll make it up by giving him a two
dollar-and-a-half one Select what you
want to give, and give it irrespective
of what "he" did.
Don't give things that are against
your own taste. even if you suspect
the taste of the recipient
Don't give children toys, such as
guns or drums, the use of which will
be a source of worry to their parents.
Don't play practical jokes in your
giving; few people like to be made
fun of, especially at Christmas.
Don't be afraid, when it is pos
sible, to give money, that the recip.
lent may choose his own gift Remem.
Der especially with young people, that
the Christmas moeny if often the only
money of the year which they cal.
spend for themselves.
Don't, when you give money, cite
a string" to it; let it go unrestricted,
to buy something WITH or "just to
spend" Often dollar Just to spend"
is worth more to the spender than a
five-dolar present.
Don't inquire too particularly what
becomes of the money you give. If
the receiver wants to tell you what
he did with it, well ard good he win
tell you. If he does not want to tell
why should you care?
Don't give man cigars unless
you know the kind he likes.

MR.. RIGSBY APPOINTED.
NAMED AS ASSISTANT PoSTMAS-
TER BY Mr.. CLOHAN.
is a Well Known and Popular Repub.
Iican and Will Make Efficient Man
For the Position.

Postmaster Alex Clohan has formal
ly announced that he has selected Mr..
Oliver S. Rigsby, of this city, a popu-
lar and well known republican, for the
position of assistant postmaster at the
Martinsburg postoaice, to take the po-
sition made vacant by the removal of
former Assistant Postmaster Charles
H. White. Notice of this appointment
was sent by Mr.. Clohan to the post
Office department at Washington, and
Mr.. Rigsby entered upon his duties
Wednesday morning.
1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Clohan
could have made a selection that will
give more general satisfaction among
the patrons of the local postofsce
While Mr.. Rigsby has always been
known as party man and a party
worker, he yet has many friends
among the democrats of the city and
county, and is popular and stands
high in the estimation OF all who know
him, irrespective of party utilization.
He was for several years city SER
geant and chief of police of Martins
burg, is an expert accountant and a
man of the highest integrity. His fit
ness for the position in every manner
is unquestioned, and the postmaster
and patrons are to be congratulated
upon so wise a choice.

TO KEEP GAS IN STATE.
Bill For That Purpose To Be Submit.
ted to Legislature.

The persistent campaign to saw
West Virginia's gas for West Virginia
is to bear fruit in a bill which vii
be submitted to the legislature unde
the auspices of the West Virgini
state board of trade, which will be
prepared by DR.. /. c. White, who ha
been anxious for years to prevent the
criminal waste of gas by operatin
companies, ii he cannot prohibit its ex
portation. Albert NJ. Schenck,
Wheeling, president of the Virginia
Oil and Gas Co, is going to lend mis-
efforts to secure the passage of this
or a kindred measure. Mr. Schenck
believes in the theory that manufac-
turing industries can be attracted to
West Virginia if they can't get the
fuel piped to locations in other states
The difficulty of getting a bill that
will amply fit the case is admitted, for
there are some fine points involved
Two years ago, the MaXwell-Cole bill
came within an ace of passage, but
met its death on the final roundup.

He would sneak off and eat at some
of the government boarding houses,
where they least expected him. He
actually went through mud up to his
knees with his white suit on and it
raining in bucketfuls.
"Oh, he fooled them. He told them
that he did not want to see the places
that were all right; it was the places
that We're not right that he wanted to
see. There was not one in the bunch
that could keep up with him. He went
into niger quarters and sat down and
talked with the niggers, and asked
them all kinds of questions. Also he
went into white quarters. | heard he
told officials how things had to be from
this on. Some of them went to argu-
ing the case and he said that sucn
could not be done. He simply said that
If they had no remedy he had one.
Il heard he got rad at one place
and just raised Cain; talked out liz
the street so everybody could hear
him. You should have seen him gal
Looping down some of those muddy
streets, the mud flying over his heao,

WIRE SHOCKS SCORES
PROMINENT V!RGiNIAN ELECTRO

Almost Every Person in Large Section
of Roanoke Injured When Elec-

Almost every person living on the
east side of Roanoke was shocked on
Sunday night when a high-voltage wire
and acknowledging wire were
crossed in the street.
Edward Ashby Carpe., an expert ac.
countant in the office of general audi
tor of the Norfolk and Western, a
prominent Mason, and a widely KNOWN
man in Virginia, was electrocuted in
the bathroom at his home when he
tried to turn on an incandesceut light.
His wife had been shocked and
burned by the same light earlier in
the evening. Scores of others, whose
homes were fed by the same wire,
were imperiled, and many of them are
in a critical condition.
1t is estimated that $500 volts pass
ed through Carper's body, burning his
hands terribly, scorching the soles of
his shoes and the floor where he stood.
He was forty-four yeais old, and a

Electricians say that Mr.. Carper as
sumed a position in handling the
lamp, peculiarly perilous, and received
the full shock. Others who were in
jured were shocked in slighter de-
gree They expressed sGrprise that a
number of persons were not killed.

How to Choose a Present for a Boy

How to Choose a Present for Boy
One is often at a loss to know wha
to give boy for present on Christ
mas day who is past the age of toys
says the Pilgrim. II camera is con
sidered too expensive and he has any
taste for it, a set of typography uten-
sils will be helpful to while away some
of the long winter evenings. One
more of the "units" of a sectional
bookcase may inspire him to acquire
good books to read and an umbrella
of his own, good one with his name
engraved upon it, will please him as
much as a box of chocolates will a
girl. At any rate, try to give the
boy something personal and not too
practical. Eliminate kerchiefs, neck
ties and gloves from his list this year
and substitute a ring, cuff buttons, "a
sweater or football suit, a rifle, a fins
knife or even a silver match safe.
Don't be afraid the last mentioned will
induce cigarette smoking, for your boy
has, of course, been trained to avoid
that, and every man and boy has need
of matches many times though they
never smoke.

thirty tons each were sent out and it
