F. J. Chapman. a deckhand on the
steamer Chevalier, which plies in
the local trade between Huntington

The boy, who is apparently six
teen or seventeen years of age. with
two companions were on the levee
about eleven o'clock at night and
according to the testimony OF spec
tators was yelling. Policeman Hale
who was in the vicinity objected TO
their Conduct. 1t is said that the
boys would cry "Warfeld'' to Hale,
In token OF his former residence III
the Big Sandy town of that name.
This nettled the officer. After some
words on the levee the boys turned
to the boat where It is said they
again set up the cry of "WarfelI."
The officer followed the BOAT and
when told of his approach young
ran out OF the lire box and
onto the C. and o. wharf boat which
was anchored alongside the Chevelier.
Hale fired one shot at the boy as he
left the boat. He followed and when
the lad reached the shore, fired four
shots more, one which entered his
thigh. producing a painful flesh wound.
After his wound was dressed members
of the police force tried to persuade
him TO go to the city hospital to have
the bullet extracted but he refused
to sc.
He is the son of Jack Chapman,
a farmer of Union Ridge. who was
murdered more than n year q in
a mysterious manner. and for which
crime Sam B~iankenship is now IN
the county jail awaiting trial.

CONVENTION AT
HUNTINGTON
CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATE
TO SUCCEED THE LATE sENA-
TOR PORTER TO BE
NAMED TODAY.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 5.-Repubu,
cans OF the Fifth Senatorial district
are evincing no little interest in the
convention to be held in Huntington
to-day to nominate a successor to the
late Senator J.. d. Porter. 1t is stat.
ed that there are no active candidates
for the nomination. but It is known
that any one, of the half a dozen men
mentioned will gladly accept.
The delegates who nominated Sen.
ator Porter are to name his success.
Q j. They are scattered about the
district and the only line to be had
on, their probable action is through
expressions by party leaders in the
counties.
With the leaders the prevailing
sentiment is to give the honor to
some Lincoln county man. but who
It will be is an open question. The
delegations from Cabeli and Par.
nam may have some differences of
opiuien abotu what Lincoln county
mar should be favored. 1t is expect
ed. however, that the Lincoln dele
cation will settle the matter In a pre-
liminary caucus.
Among the Lincoln county men
prominently mentioned are W. II.
Turley, William Carroll and Ballard
Payne. All are prominent Republi.
cans and have been faithful work.

From the Democratic side comes
the report that Hon. T. S. Scanlon

opposed Senator Porter and ran
ahead Of his ticket IN his home coun.
ty of CabelI. The Democratic conveu.
tifn will meet in Huntington stimuli.

IT MUST GO THROUGH,

We would again impress upon those
having the matter in charge that the
building of the new opera house must
be carried through. The subscriptions
made for the hotel and hospital were
made with this distinct understanding
that the three projects should be con-
summated together. Nothing less than
the erection of all three of these
buildings will satisfy these subscrib-
ers. or make them believe that mat
tiers have been carried through in
good faith.
Whatever deal is to be made with
the Germania Verein should be made
at once. Plans should be drawn and
the contract let so that work can be
commenced early in the spring. The
building of suitable auditorium is
much more IMPORTANT than the erec-
ton of hotel for the accommodation
OF the travelling public. A new
opera house is something that would
be enjoyed by all, whereas but few of
our citizens will require the services
of Denison hotel. AS a matter of
good faith and of the public welfare
the speedy erection of the new opera
house is demanded. and no excuses
will avail.

WORKS BOTH WAYS.

Friend Gable thought he. had a
great joke on us when he saw US
buy railroad ticket the other day,
but he did not think it quite so funny
when we reminded him that if we
paid fare we should expect railroad
men to pay subscription. No mat
ter what the ethical viewpoint, we
greatly doubt the constitutionality of
any ruling which prevents news
paper from entering into legitimate
contract to swap advertising space
for transportation. or any other COM
modify. If this be rulable the time
honored custom of taking butter and
pumpkins on subscription must be
foregone. We believe that the Su-
preme Court will decide that the law
has no power to interfere with the
rights of contract in such matters,
and that before long the editors will
again be using transportation and the
railroad men be receiving their news
papers on advertising account. So
far as we have noticed the only affect
ofthe present ruling has been to deprive
the smaller newspapers of legitimate
advertising to the benefit of the pub
fishers of the larger dailies. For our
own part the matter is of small cone
sequence. as the more we stay at
home. the more money we can save.

OUR NATIONAL PROSPERITY.

WV AVA 44OGNkAL l..
In brief span of young life this
infant Nation has broken all records
relating to the accumulations of rich
es. We are beginning to think in
billions. instead of millions. Take it
any way you like. our affluence out
strips anything ever known before. -
Our country has more actual money.
more gold. larger volume of ex-
ports. greater banking facilities.
richer farms. more railroads. more
internal commerce. more millionaires,
more well-to-do tradesmen. more in
dependent farmers. more highly paid
laborers and greater distribution of
luxury than any other has enjoyed
since time began. so said a recent
visitor to President Roosevelt. These
are all facts which redownd to the
credit of the nation. Unfortunately
they do not mean that this shall
always be SO unless the people are
governed by good sense and sobriety
in their undertakings We would not
be an alarmist tut we would caution
the people that wildcat investments
have remarkable tendency to come
home to roost. While times are good
land money is easy such Investments
can be carried, but the prudent man
will look forward to the day when
money may become hard to get and
will be careful to cut his garment
according to his cloth. Not only this
but our wealthy men and capitalists
have duty to the public as we'll as
to them selves which some of them
find hard to realize. A man worth
500, 100000 may safely perhaps invest
$50, 10000 in some wildcat mining
scheme. To certain extent that is
nobcdy's business. There is no
danger that he would become pauper
should he lose and no danger but
that he could pay his obligations.
There is danger however that his
example may be followed by those
entirely unable to Withstand such a
loss. Too often have we heard the
cry eff SO and so. can invest his
money in these schemes should not

Good Game.

The baseball game Sunday be-
tween Wiley and Holly resulted
in TIE home team winning by a
score OF 5 to 4. They had to play
in binding wind and dust
storm, as well as on the new soft
ball ground, and it is a wonder
that the score did not run higher
into numbers than it did. Really
it was a good game, one OF the
best that has been played by the
Holly team. And the foe was
worth the steel of the Holly boys.
Wiley's team is uniformly good,
or all-star, team and we hope to
have the early opportunity of try
ing to take another game from
them.

Amen. Brother.

No town will become a good
business center so long as the
majority OF its business men rely
upon few merchants to bring
trade to town. Too often the
men in a few lines OF trade are
about the only ones that reach
out after custom. Other mer-
chants wait until these men in
huence people to town and con-
tent themselves with trade that
naturally drifts to their place. A
public spirited man asks himself
if he is doing his part to attract
people to come to town. Any per
son who induces people to come
to town to trade is helping the
entire business community and
no town is a success unless all
lines of trade are working to ex-
tend business as far as possible
and trying to bring larger ter
