Mrs. M. WOODBURY., returned last
Thursday from years visit with
relatives in the state of Washing
ton. She had divided the time in
visit to her daughters-Mrs. L. J..
Sears at Spokane, Mrs. M. B. Rose
and Mrs. ]. H. Rose at North Yakima
and her granddaughter, Mrs. Geo.
Cornwe1l, at Seattle. Her grand
daughter, Miss Nellie Rose, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Rose, &C.
companied her here.
The electrical storm that passed
over here last Thursday extended
over a considerable area of the ad-
joining country. In some places it
was attended with hail. In stretch
of territory in Troy hail did great
damage to tender vegetation. The
hail stones are reported to have
been as big as hens eggs. Anton
Segerstrom had ten acres of cab
bage destroyed and other farmers
along the hail belt were heavily
damaged.

THUNDERS OF OLD LONDON
The Most Famous storm of the Last
Ccntury Was In ISJG.

Century Was In 1885,.
The most notable thunicrstorins on
record in LONDON have generally oc-
Cured In the month of August. That
which made the greatest impression on
contemporary observers during the
nineteenth century happened on the
LIST of the month rs long ago rs the
year 1916, and remarkable accounts OF
its ravagcs may be found in the jour-
nails of the day. A thunderstorm is not
a good subject for picture, but there
appeared in one OF the Illustrated pa
pcrs view OF London during the
storm from Blacliheatli'' which,
whether work OF pure Imagination or
actually drawn from nature, was ex-
ceedingly realistic and impressive. The
special feature of the storm was the
hail with which 1t was accompanied,
though the thermometer stood ut 03
degrees in the shade. The panes OF
glass which were broken by the icy
shower were to be counted by hun
dreds of millions, and so great was the
damage inflicted upon the florists and
nurserymen that a month or two after
ward charity tete was held at the
Old Surrey geological gardens for their
relief. 1t is impossible, we are told, to
Imagine tic aspect which the windows
in London streets presented before the
GLACIERS, whose services were for a
long time at premium, had repaired
the destruction. 1t is a fact. indeed,
anomalous though It appears. that his
torlc liailstorins have usually conceded
with periods of great heat. and, what
ever may be the precise relations of
heat and electricity. heavy fall of
hail is seldom noted except us the id
Junct of a thunderstorm. = London

STRONG MEN ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE QUESTION

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Yestes.
day before the Supreme Court Of the
United States at Washington, Attor.
ney General Clark W. May, Hon. John
g. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury
under President Cleveland. Dean
Hogs, Of the West Virginia law school
and Attorney Wesley Mollohan, of
Charleston presented arguments in ia.
vor of the demurrer filed by the State
OF West Virginia at the October term
Of the Supreme Court, to the bill
filed by the State of West Virginia In
the lpis standing and much mooted
debt question. The State of Virginia
was also ably represented, many not
ed lawyers having been employed to
assist Attorney General w. A. Ander-
son of that State.
While the Virginia debt question
has been poured into THE ears of
nearly every citizen of the State,
there are few that could give a brief
recital of the question that has
caused this suit. Dean Hogg in dis.
cussing the suit at Siorgantown a few
days ago said:
Long prior to 1861, In the yenr
1928. Virginia entered upon a sys.
TEN OF internal improvements, to
support which 1t became necessary
70 Issue bonds to the credit of the
State from time to time until 1861,
when the breaking out of the civil
war interrupted the practice. At
that time a large part of the people
of Virginia, especially those living
west of the Allegheny mountains,
were against the doctrine OF seces-
sion. This division of sentiment
with difference to the course to be
pursued in the civil war resulted in
the formation of West Virginia.
1t was understood and so pro-
vided IN the constitution OF the new
State flat she should assume Jus,
proportion of the debt incurred BIZ
Virginia in the sale of bonds the pro.
ceeds of which We're spent for in
ternal improvements nearly all of
which were made within what con.
stitutes the present limits of Viz.
ginia. In the ordinance adopted by
the restored government of Virginia
by a convention or Representatives
assembled in August, 1861. basis
of determining the PROPORTION was
adopted and promulgated, While
the constitution OF the new State,
formulated and adopted in April,
1862. did not incorporate this basis,
it committed the ascertainment of
the proportion to the legislature of
West Virginia. Many times since
1871, with all the data at hand and
pursuing a Just basis of determlr.
ing whether or not West Virginia
was really obligated 10 pay anything
on account of the public debt of
Virginia, it has determined that it la
not under obligation to pay anything,
either from a legal or equitable
standpoint. In fact it was plainly
clear to the Legislature that West

Lawyers Argue Before Supreme
Court of the United States On
Virginia VS.. West Virginia Debt

Virginia did NOT owe virginia one

In the year 1871. Virginia. her.
self entered upon the work Of af.
fectins an adjustment Of her publts
debt through her general assembly,
After several acts had been passed
and the proper negotiations had been
made with the bondhoiders, Virginia
settled ultimately what she claimed
was her just debt Mt so cents on the
dollar. Her creditors releasing her
from the payment ., the balance. she
issued TO those holding the old bonds
new bonds and certificates without
recourse on Virginia. for what sh,
claimed West Virginia owed her.
Thereupon her creditors surrendered
to her the old bonds, which were
destroyed, thereby wiping out the
debt.
While the suit now pending against
West Virginia is nominally in the
name of Virginia as plaintiff, it 10

West Virginia the payment of the
certificates of Indebtedness issued
against West Virginia by Virginia.
The suit is also seeking to recover
certain property, localized within the
territory of West Virginia and for
which claims she should be paid by
this State. There is no foundation,
either in law or equity, for this de.
mand.

bill as a long one ana many docu.
