wierd Stories.

When one reads some of the
strange rhetorical connections that
are ladled out by salaried political
dopesters concerning the situation in
West Virginia, it is no wonder that
this wonderful state is said to be
taking on a big reputation for wild
and woody and wierd things. The
latest creation of the fancy and one
that serves as a fine sample of a
thrilling fight of the Imagination
comes to the Wheeling Register
from Washington, or, that is to say,
is published in the Register under a
Washington date line:
Strange stories come to Washing
ton about the West Virginia Repub-
lican committee meeting at Parkers-
burf. One tale has 1t that the pow
ers that be in Washington ordered a
special sitting of the United States
court at Parkersburg so that 1t would
be held during the committee ses-
sion. This was plausible way OF
assembling all the federal officials,
giving them an excuse for their pres
ence in Parkersburg last week. All
the lawyers who mix in politics had
also an excuse for making the meet
ing of small state committee re-
semble state convention. That or
ders for the holding of court and the
consequent assembling of federal
employees came from Washington
now seems apparent. Not all the
threats of the senators, the appeals
of congressman could prevent federal
office holders of West Virginia from
doing their duty"
How is it possible that the dope
ster who pulled the foregoing out OF
his pipe overlooked the fact that the
term of federal court that was held
in Petersburg at the time of the
committee meeting was a regular
term of that tribunal? The regular
January term of federal court in
Parkersburg is held in accordance
with federal statutes regulating the
time of holding courts and for years
this regular term has been held at
the regularly stated time at that
place. So far as the Telegram is
aware there was no federal order for
the holding of a special term OF
court at Petersburg and If a "spec.
ial" term was held, this paper did
not learn of it.

evidence that his manly, dignihed
and comprehensive interview went
straight to the mark Is evidenced BY
Just such bowls as those emanating
from Baker through the Morgan
town Post. the animus OF which is
too well known to need further com
ment.
There are thousands Of Repub-
licans in the State OF West Virginia
who have marched under the banner
Of Republicanism with Governor
Dawson as their leader for years and
years before he was the chief execu-
tive. They believe and trust him.
He has been thrown amongst many
great men and many small men, he
has rubbed elbows with them all. He
does not make many mistakes. He
believes and he knows that Hon. c.
W. Swisher Is big enough to be Gov
ernor, and no matter If he did once
delye in the earth for the black dia-
monds and struggle in the depths OF
poverty, his sheer pluck, honesty,
and ability and its results have CON
WINGED not only Governor Dawson,
but great majority of the Repub-
licans that he is big enough, has
sense enough and will be Governor
Of the great commonwealth of West
Virginia, Baker to the contrary not
withstanding.

Baker,s Unwarranted Attacls.

The issue of the Morgantown Post
of January is, contained two very
remarkable publications of political
character. One was communica-
ton signed by Geo. c. Baker, an at
torney of Morgantown, and the other
was the editorial comment of the
Post upon the interview of Governor
Dawson in which he expressed
preference for the nomination of
Hon. G. W. Swisher for governor be-
fore the Republican State convention.
The communication bearing the
signature of George c. Baker should.
in reality receive no attention from
the friends of Mr.. Swisher, especial
ly- in the localities where Baker is
well known. Baker uses language
in the communication not designed
to impress the public with a very
high estimate of the man, who be-
comes responsible for the low grade
of epithet. employed in an attack of
such miserable character. Baker
is known as lobbyist and his last
experience, or at least the last to get
out on him, was when he accepted
employment from the county author
tiles of Monongalia county and went
to; Charleston to aid in the passage
Of bill to provide for the erection
of bridge over the Monongalia
river. We are not aware of the
amount of money he received for
this service, but there are those who
say they happen to know that long
before he reached the scene OF ac-
ton the bill had been favorably act
ed upon, entirely through the efforts
of representatives from Monongalia
county, aud the bill passed notwith-
standing any effort that he might
have made in its behalf. 1t is also
known that Baker has INDUCED in
abusing and belittiing deserving men
and 1t was no surprise at this time
that he turned loose his billingsgate
in the direction of Secretary of State
Swisher. 1t is well remembered
that when Hon. VIM. NJ. o. Dawson
was a candidate for Governor that
Baker camped on his trail with the
same character of abuse and vituper-
alton until the convention at Wheel
ing made him the candidate of the
whole party and then only was he
compelled to desist. The course of
Baker, placed alongside the conduct
of Secretary Swisher carries its own
refutation, and the sneering sugges-
ton as to the ability of Mr.. Swisher
has been so often repudiated by the
votes of the very constituents which
Baker claims to represent that it
should have no countenance outside
the district, as it surely has none
within, where Baker and Swisher are
both we'll known.
The Telegram need not lower IT.

Baker, in pointing out his course
and his besetting sin, as it were, but
1t reminds Baker that an honest. fair

in his political conduct. true to his
friends, a good neighbor, one who in
every walk of life and at every step
in the ladder of fame has received
the approval OF the masses of the
people. The people Of the city of
Fairmont elected Mr.. swisher to a
place in the city council. the people
of Marion county elected Mr.. swisher

BILE size; box alder and ash grew here
and there In clumps and fringes, be-
side the serpentine curves of the near

thickest under the shelter of the occa-
sional low bluffs. We drove down to
q heavily grassed bottom, near a deep,
narrow pool, with, at one end, that
rarest Of luxuries in the plains coun-
try, a bubbling spring Of pure, cold
water. With plenty of wood, delicious
water, ample feed for the horses, and
fresh meat we had every comfort and
luxury incident to camp life in good
weather. The bedding was tossed out
on a smooth spot beside the wagon;
the horses were watered and tethered
to picket pins where the feed was
best; water was fetched from the
spring; a deep hole was dug for the
fully burned off; and in a few mo
ments the bread was baking in the
Dutch oven, the potatoes were boiling.
antelope steaks were sizzling In the
frying-pan, and the kettle was ready
for the tea. After supper, eaten with
the relish known well to every hard
working and successful hunter, we sat
for half an hour or so round the fire.
and then turned in under the blankets
and listened to the wailing of the
coyotes until we fell sound asleep.
We determined to stay in this camp
all day, so as to try and kill another
prong-buck, as we would soon be past
the good hunting grounds. I did not
have to go far for my game next morn
ing, for soon after breakfast, while
sitting on my canvas bag cleaning my
rifle, the sheriff suddenly called to me
that a bunch of antelope were coming
towards US. Sure enough there they
were, four In number, rather over half
a mile off, on the first bench of the
prairie, two Dr. three hundred yards
back of the creek, leisurely feeding In
our direction. In a minute or two
they were out of sight, and I instantly
ran along the creek towards them for
a quarter of a mile. and then crawled
up a short shallow coulie, close to the
head Of which they seemed likely to
pass. When nearly at the end I a u
