MOB BEATS NEGRO.

Because, It is alleged, John Fisher,
CO.., d, attempted to carve bis wife,
Hattie Fisher, he DarrJVly escaped q
lyuching at hands of an angry mob late
Tuesday night, 10 Baltimore.
Fisher and bis wife had been living
10 Orisfeld, Nd, but several days ago
the woman went to Baltimore TO escsps
Fishers brutaiities, she says. Fisher
toIlowed her, and immediitly upon his
arrival there he ins i'uted vigorous
search for his missing wife. About
midnight, on Tuesday, ne learned that
she WIS living in Wiesenfield's Court,
and he went there at ouce. Upou sr-
irving there he saw battle sitting on the
steps of house and at once he aitscted
her. As soon as she was attacked, the
woman began to scream aud ran through
the house into Aliceapna street. Fisher
was following her and when she reached
the street she had been cut In several
places.
The screams Of the woman attracted
the attention of q number of men and
boys, who captured Fisher and we're 10

Miller, of the Eastern district, arrived.
The police fought their way through the
crowd and with their sticks rescued Fish

Station, where a charge Of asssulting
and cutting Hattie Fisher with a knife
was placed sg4inst him. Yesterday
morning when Fisher was arraigned tor
trial before Justice Garland, he prayed
for Jury trial and was commit ed to

REAR FELL FROM A TREE.

Failing out of huge FIR tree from
height of 90 feet near Berlin, Linn
county, WASH, when shot by hunters
yesterday, a black bear, weighing 400
pounds, struck squarely on a hound,
valued at $500, killing the animal in
stsntly. The Incident was the result ci
an hours chase, 10 which several farm
ers, bent on aveOgirg the slaughter OF
their herds by bears, took part.
Warned by tbe bsying hounds that he
was 10 danger, bruiu took refuge in the
fr trse. A few minutes later, a party OF
six hunters emptied their rlflss iut1 the
treetop. Pierced by several bullets, the
animal released its hold and crashed
through the branches to the ground. One
of the hounds, eager to seize the bear,
rushed 10, bot misjudgtd the instance
and received the full impact of the ami

AMERICAN PLUCK.

Notwithstanding the heavy loss OF

Are Saturday night which destroyed
its plant with loss of something
near $4,000, the firm comes out with
good sized advertisement in the
Wheeling papers announcing to its
customers that all orders will be fill
ed as usual This is the kind of pluck
that characterizes the business men
OF this country and to such indominita-
BILE perseverance Is largely due the
commercial supremacy OF our nation.
Yesterday the report Of a fire at Cleve-
land chronicled the loss of the plant
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer in which
its battery of twenty-five linotype ma
, chimes were sllenced, its mammoth
presses disabled. and It's plant imbed-
ded in mass of debris, and in the
same message the news goes over the
wires that the publication of the pa
per will be continued but temporarily.
from the plant OF another Cleveland
paper. In this again we witness the
same spirit of giving no quarter to
distressing losses nor bowling the head
in remorse over financial misfortunes.
even though severely great. In these
two cases We see in a smaller degree
the same spirit of fortitude and nervy
Americanism that bullled again from
her ruins the city Of San Francisco
after the destruction Of the metropolis
of the Pacific coast. No time for re-
pining or figuring how these losses are
to be retrieved, but time for quick
and decisive action. No time to tig-
ure on the cost of stone. steel or NOR
tar, but the time for the man of action
who is ready and willing to command
the mason with his trOwel to begin at
once the new foundations.
America is indeed a great country,
but no part of her greatness is to be
compared with the greatness of her
thrifty people.

er a big lead over his American COM
petitor. The United States has ne
elected Its waterways for years. with
the result that it has the poorest sys-
TEN of navigable rivers and canals In
the world, in spite OF the fact that in
no other nation are the natural advan-
tages greater. For that reason. 1t
costs the American exporter more
than his competitors to get his goods
started on their way and costs him
more to market them.
1t Is to remedy this condition of af-
fairs and arouse Uncle Sam from
his apathy. that the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress Is working. This
organization declines 10 stand for any
specific scheme of improvement. but
is seeking to have the national gov
eminent expend on the general plan
of rivers and harbors betterments the
sum OF $500OO,QOO each year. AS
there is now upwards Of $500, 100000 of
improvements passed upon and advo-
Gated by government engineers. this
amount is absolutely necessary II the
complete programme of betterments
is to be carried out by the time the
Panama Canal is ready to open.
There is little doubt but that the
report OF the business done on the Te-
huantepec railway will stimulate this
government into action. There are
indications even now that such action
is near. in the shape of the adoption
of a stated policy to care for the rivers
and harbors.

cided to become candidate for tho
nomination for the Office of State {, !.

nounced himself In his paper. 1t has

Mr.. Tough entertained desire to be.

since taking recent trip to the Strte

When Mr.. Loughs name was first

Sentinel took favorable view of
the matter so far as the Fairmont
editor was concerned, but as Taylor
county then had what we thought a
strong candidate for the office this
paper withheld It's endorsement Of
our editorial brother of neighbor-
ing county. Since Taylor county has
been taken out OF the race, we now
feel free to say to Mr.. Tough that we
know of no reason why he cannot
have the earnest support of the
county adjoining to one from which
the candidate once hailed. Mr.. Tough
is a graduate Of the State Normal
Schools and is member of the pres
ent State board Of regents. He has
had large experience in school work.
and being man of practical views.
as has been demonstrated in his
school work, his candidacy should
prove a strong one. Should he sue

believed that he would administer
the affairs of the office with credit to
the state and good to the cause of

LEGATION that have rural free delivery
has already made itself felt very heav-
lily in this office since the postage for
January was within few dollars of
three times the amount paid for the
month of December. Heretofore no
postage has been required on papers
circulated within the county of publi-
cation and the additional postage will
only tend to increase the losses of
many papers now being published in
West Virginia. IT, however. this addi-
tional money is necessary for the prop
err perfection and maintenance of the
rural delivery system. which is a
great benefit to the rural residents,
the West Virginian Is perfectly will
ing to bear its part Of the burden. II
the receipts for postage of all publ
cations are increased at the rate of
200 per cent. as has been the case
with the West virgInlan. much better
and far more extensive rural delivery
can e-established with the extra rev.
enue derived from the newspapers
alone. This is another way in which
the newspapers become public bene-
factors.
