AN EXPLANATION.

DR.. Hatfield In the Bluefield Tel
egraph of the 5th inst. explains his
presence at Keystone on the 18th
OF August, as being a purely bus
mess trip, and proceeds to say pre-
sumably after being asked to q
the parties arrested in Calhoun s
dive. IF the law has been violated
I have nothing to do with IL but
If 1t was politics, and political
move, would be glad to help them
any way | could"
II, proceeds to say that he pro-
tested against being misquoted and
gives the impression that he was in
sympathy with the steps taken to
break up the den at Cinler Bot
tom.
The doctor then relates his eff
forts to stop the "misquot ng" of
the Leader and tells of the encoun-
ter at Welch. Supporting his state
ment letter is published from
Squire Belcher and one from G.. l..
Counts, both tending to show that
he (Hatfield) would not shield any
one from prosecution for any Grim
inal offense. The letter leaves the
question a little vague as to the
differentiation as to politics and
crime and looks by inference as If
DR.. Hatfield a mere citizen "coIrld
protect" the implicated parties If
he wanted to, and there were any
politics in it.--Pocahontas Head
Light.

James j. Hill has sounded the
note OF alarm in the Republican
amp by saying that the farmers of
The west are lining up for the Ne
1rash sa He says that the western
armer has not taken Mr.. Bryan
seriously heretofore. but that there
: a strong tend towards him among
he farmers of the west this year,
and that he is much stronger than
either OF his for mer campaigns.
1880 votes If placed among a
few doubtful states would have
elected him president in 1896.
Bryan is stronger than ever be-
ore. Taft is neither as strong
popular. as the late William Nc
hinley. nor has Mr.. Taft behind
him the backing OF an astute or
sanizer like Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Hill is a keen observer. He
the pioneer railroad promoter of
he great west and knows that
ountry as no other man of today.
surely the prediction of Mr.. Hill is
10 idle talk. 1t looks good for De-
nocracy this year.

Thaddeus Stevens Houlgate, the

And then" said Mr. Houlgate,
there was that case OF the general
store man in Duluth This mans
store burned down, and, because his
stock was so heavy. the company dis
puted his claim.

hat-i7, 800 mourning hatbands.
When | came to this item, I
thumped 1t with my pencil. aud said
10 the storekeeper severely:
Look here, this Is unreasonable.
Why should you have had 1880
mourning hatbands In stock? What
possibility was there that death would
create In q single small shop like
yours a demand for 1850 mourning
THE storekeeper smiled at me in a
condescending way and replied
didn't keep those hatbands for
men who grieved for the death OF
or friends. but for men who
went into mourning for the grease
