Slaughtered the Indians.

The Elbert Reds went to Kiowa Sun
day and came home through the storm
in the evening with the scalps of the
Indians dangling at their belts-score,
II to l. The Indians were outplayed in
every position. Their pitcher, Mcguire,
was easy. and the Reds enjoyed bat
fest. Southpaw McKimmie pitched the
first six innings for the Reds and but
one Indian got as far as second. Gate
wood finished the game. The Indians
one lone run was the result OF wild
throw by the Reds right fielder, the ball
going into the crowd. The features OF
the game were McKimmie's pitching and
home run and the star playing of Bever-
ly at short and Scott at second. Batter
ies-Elbert: McKimmie, Gatewood and
Morgan; Kiowa: Mcguire and Johns.

The Most Common Cause Of Suffering

rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for the
reason that it is the most common OF all
ills, and it is certainly gratifying to suf-
ferers to know that Chamberlains Pain
Balm will afford relief, and make rest
and sleep possible. In many cases the
relief from pain, which is at first tempo
rary,. has become permanent, while in old
people subject to chronic rheumatism,
often broug ht on by dampness or changes
in the weather, permanent cure cannot
oe expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth many
times its cost. 25 and 80 cent sizes for
sale by Fred Long.

asked "What Constitutes Lawful

the enquirers and others we publish the

ForfeIted His Right.

The ARGUS is frank TO say that
it does not see wherein the Hon.
VIII. Hearne has any right what
soever to name the so delegates
from Ohio county. When he
withdrew from the glbernatorial
contest he forfeited the right TO
select the delegates. To the un-
initiated it appears that Mr..
Hearne is being made cats paw
by some one who is no friend of
the Wheeling gentleman. If Mr..
Hearne will calmly survey the
political horizon he will discover
that his name has not been placed
in the gubernatorial grab bag.
The gentlemen at the head of the
Republican machine are not con-
ferring gubernatorial nominations
upon gentlemen o. Mr.. Hearne's
character. If he really entertains
the idea that he can capture the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor the meeting of the state
convention will convince him that
he has been sorely deceived by
pretended friends, or else he has
been indulging in pipe dreams.

An Ideal Candidate.
Huntington Advertiser


Few men who have announced them
selves as candidates for such a high
office as governor of West Virginia have
met with such universal commentator
at the hands OF any party rs has Hon.
Louis Bennett, of Weston, who is the
leading candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor. Throughout
the length and breadth of the state no
one has lifted up his voice against Mr..
Bennett. His eminent fitness for the
position, his worth as man, his strength
as a candidate are universally recognized.
The elements of civic and political
strength are combined i'm rare fashion in
MIR. Bennett lie is Democrat of the
tried and true type, who believes firmly
IN the great fundamental principles up
on which the Democratic party is
founded, and who has ever, throughout
his political career, upheld those princi-
pies. His record as servant of the
people is one OF which any man might
well be proud, and Is open to no criti-
eism. He represented the great county
OF Lewis in the state legislature, was the
speaker OF the house Of delegates, and in
no instance can it be pointed out where
his vote was cast in the interest of any
save the general public.
lie is a man who stands high in his
own community, who has ever been a
vote getter among the people who know
him best and are best qualified to Judge
his fitness. He is q man who, while me
has an admirable political record back
OF him, has never been aligned with
either OF the two factions that have
striven for control Of the Democratic
party in West Virginia, and he can do
more than any other man 10 heal any
breach that may threaten in the ranks
OF the Democracy He is a man who il
well supplied with this worlds goods.
and who can enter upon and make
hard campaign without the suspicion
that any corporation or corporate in
ierest IL supplying the funds that are
necessary in the carrying on Of any
political campaign. He ~ a man OF
personal magnetism. who is best re-
'pected and best loved where lac is best
known, and who would prove highly
popular candidate with the people
Considered from every view point
Ouis Bennett would prove an ideal
Democratic candidate for governor Of
West Virginia, and ii elected, az there is
very prospect that he will be, would be
governor who would serve the people
sithfully and well, and who would re-
iect credit upon the state and It's people.

Making InnmlrIes.

Several farmers are inquiring what
change was made in the law govern
ing assessments of farm products
last winter. 1t is said that last wear
the assessors were very rigid in re-
quiring every species of farm pro
ducts to be listed for taxation, but
that this year nearly all were omitted.
There was no change in the statutes
on this subject. The only reason
for q change exists in the fact that
this is an election year. Under the
operations of the Dawson admins
tration we have tax reform laws exc
cuted by Interpretation, and the rule
OF Interpretation consists of the ne
cessity foI keeping the people sweet
as far as possible in 4 } ear in which
an election is to be held. The law
is positive aud specific that every
item of farm product is to be listed
for taxation. IL this has not been
done some one has violated the law
either in pursuance OF orders from
the tax authorities or from willful
disobedience of plain statutes
