NIGHT SCHOOL.
Shinnston

1t is well known that the great OBJ
stacle met by those who wish to

be filled by present employees, If they
were competent. 1t is possible for
such persons to retain their present
positions and at the same time gain

disasters. The political effect was
not realized nor did the hard times
come. But, that did not obliterate
the calamity bowler, but instead a
, cult of that sort had been born and
has not yet been exterminated,
though there is no possible excuse
! for its existence, as the prosperity
of the country emphasizes. These
pray on for hard times that their
political prospects may be brighter,
but their prayers avail them nothing.
Since the governorship has taken
active measures to enforce the pro-
visions of the Sherman and Elkins
acts relative to freight discrimina-
lions, rebates and the like, and notice
has been served on one class of
"financiers" that honesty and de-
cency, as the Johnstown Tribune
says, must guide their operations, a
new class of calamity howlers has
been .'rending the circumambient at
mosphere" with their wailfngs and
prophesies of disaster. From the
vicinity of Wall Street come predic-
tons of woe and disaster to business
and great wailings concerning the
widows and orphans who have their
little all invested in the securities
which, although handsomely engrav-
ed and objects of artistic topography,
yet are more the object of finan-
cier's water supply that that of the
printing presses.
These new calamity howlers have
been quite busy securing free space,
both in the editorial and news col
umns, directing attention to the de-
structive tendencies of the Admins
tration. The attempt is made 10
demonstrate that President Roose-
welt is positively a more danger
Gus" man than Mr.. Bryan. Two or
three small panics have been care
fully prepared and pulled off, with
gusto, but the business interests in
general and the people have failed
to scare. Men like Henry Clay
Prick have boldly faced the terrible
situation and declared that there is
nothing in the situation to worry
about, that business is good and will
stay good, despite the furry among
the "fnanciers.'
Other men like Frlck have ac-
quainted themselves with actual con-
ditions. sounding the sentiment OF
the country and getting expressions
from all over it. and find that there
is no tendency toward the hard times
these financial sharks and greedy
and INSCRIPTIONS combinations of
capital, in the form of trusts, seek
to persuade the people exist or are
threatened. Even Henry Clews says
there is too much prosperity. which |
statement is in contradiction of |
every utterance the designing class
and the plotters against the govern
mert have made
The croakers and calamity howl
ers OF all kinds and breeds, as the
Tribune says, have no reason for
their wailings. Men in legitimate
enterprises refuse to scare or even
waver because, of the combined wall
ings of the howlers. old and new.
1t is gratifying to note that the
Presidents warnings against the
noises of the calamity howlers and
agitators have had the desired effect
The people are able to discriminate
between enforcement of law by law
full processes and the destructive
policy of the ag1tator and politician
who is out"

CITY's sLEUTHs AGAIN Fooled
Ford Escapes From Thumb Cuffs
Placed Upon Him.

Officers McCloud, Brooks and Con-
stable Waldo last night went to the
Weiland theatre loaded for bear. "
McCloud had secured pair OF
Towers thumb cuffs from a hard
ware store and to prevent any pos
sible chance of Ford gaining any
thing by seeing the key left it at
the store. The thumb cuff is pc
culiar little arrangement designed
to lock tightly around the prisoners
thumbs, the inside being fitted with
teeth TO prevent their being slipped
off. Officer McCloud locked the
cuffs on Ford first in front and then
in back and it took the king quite a
while to loosen himself but at last
he came out smiling with the cuffs
open. Another pair of cuffs were
used by officer Brooks and both
Miss Ford and Mr.. Ford escaped in
a few seconds.
oficer McCloud said afterwards
that he wouldn't like to have to try
to hold Ford prisoner If he can
escape from the thumb cuffs, in fact,
he says, his belief in the cuffs is so
strong that he thinks they will hold
the most dangerous prisoner and he
Is going to buy the pair used on
Ford.

AS$NSA9s
That sleepy old place on the Ohio
river, known on the map as Park
ersburg-a very good old. town
though so sleepy-has aroused suf-
ficiently from it's slumbers to sit up,
rub it's eyes and take notice of what
other towns and cities in the State
are doing. 1t was no surprise when
the following telegram came here, as
Clarksburg sets the pace:
Please advise approximate
amount Clarksburg has subscribed in
lots and stock in past four years to
secure new industries and the bene-
fit conditions received.
The above telegraphic inquiry was
followed by the letter to the same
person. who is in position to know
the information sought and who ans
wered the same, with statement of
facts that emphasize the superiority
of Clarksburg as a manufacturing
center, The letter from Parkers-
burg reads:
you received a. wire from me to-
day and If you have not already
answered same will be glad if you
will give me the number of new
manufacturing plants that your city
has secured in the last four years
and the amount of subscription your
people have made either through lots
or stocks in order to secure these
plants and what effect the new in
dustries have had on your local bust
ness conditions. We are going to
have public meeting of our people
on Wednesday night In order to stir
up some enthusiasm in building up
our city and ! wish to use the infor-
nation you furnish me as an object
lesson to show them what other cities
are doing along these lines"
To the message and letter the fol-
lowing answer was sent:
Fourteen industries located here
the past four years, employing about
$500. Inducements: four cent gas
and occasionally free sites, practical
ly no subscription to stock. Ac-
complished by business men and
Board of Trade"
This Geographic and letter COM
munieation between the two cities
establishes the fact that Clarksburg
takes the lead and other cities in the
State are compelled to initiate her
example. IL possible, to keep up with
the procession. else such places as
Parkersburg would not be depend
ent on information from this city to
create an enthusiasm for Industrial
and commercial development.
In brief, the lesson from this is
tina, all eyes are on Clarksburg, and.
while other cities are becoming more
and more covetous of this. it be-
hooves the latter to get buster, If
possible, and then there can be no
doubt about Clarksburg' remaining at
the head of the procession OF prog.
ress. Another lesson is that the
natural resources here are so SUPER
Tor TO number of other places in
the State that only an easy effort
need be put forth to continue in the
lead. Still, another deduction IS
that Qther places will have to arouse
and exert themselves nightly, If
they dislodge clarksburg from first
place.

weapon, the complainants being William Peace and a party of land lockers, who were prevented by MT. Thompson from travel ling on a road that crosses the river through the ranch lands.
 It is alleged that MT. Thomp- son forcibly halted the outfit, and in the altercation that fol- lowed his seizure of the heads of the horses he menaced the Peace party with a rifle. MT. Thomp- sons mobilization of himself on a war footing is said to have been melted by hostile symptoms manifested by one of the party.
 Trouble on the road through the ranch is chronic, and is said to have it's origin in the efforts of land seekers to find out the status of a certain section of land.
 The Peace party did not go through the ranch but lived up to it's name by retiring before the artillery unlimbered by the enemy. It could not have gone over the road anyway without driving over a wagon and team barricade hastily thrown up by MT. Thompson.

Murderous Assault

A drunken peg leg wanderer framed up a miscellaneous dis turbance of the peace and dignity of Calexico last Wednesday night and concluded his performance with a vicious attack upon land lord Antoine Hess with a heavy bludgeon, breaking the stick of timber over MT. Hess head. The ugly brute was arrested by Con- stable Eslow and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. MT. Hess was badly injured, but is recovering from the effects of the blow which laid open his forehead and just fell short of fracturing his skull.

Calendar Continued

The Supreme Court has not passed on the constitutionality of the special holiday laws, and be- cause of the uncertainty still ex- isting Judge Cole has continued the calendar of the Superior Court to Jan. 3. Judge Cole will sit in Riverside next week in Judge Densmore's court. Although the civil calendar is continued, crim- inal cases may be tried if the de- fendants do not object and some cases may be called when Judge Cole returns from Riverside. Hearing in the injunction case of Farr vs. McGrath, involving the right to reclaim certain land, has been set for Dec. 27.

Land-jumping Troubles

Land jumping threatens to make serious trouble in some parts of the country. Last week the camp of Mccartney, Hall and other squatters on land claim ed by the Wores ranch near Brawley was invaded dnring the absence of the occupants, and the outfit was scattered and des- troyed. The summary process of eviction was resented by the Mccartney outfit, and w. P. Moore of the Wores ranch was arrested on a complaint charging him with grand larceny. Pre- liminary examination was post poned until next week.

Constable Assaulted

Last Saturday the Brawley Constable, John Martin, who had raided the McKeehan pool room in a search for liquor some time before, got into trouble in the same place with George Me- Keehan and was beaten with a billiard cue to a frazzle. Mo Keehan was arrested on a con- plaint charging him with assault with intent to murder, and was held in $2, 500 bail to answer in the Superior Court. Martins in- juries are severe but not likely to prove dangerous.
