TORIAN VIRGIL A. LEWIS.

State Historian Virgil A. Lewis,
Friday commenced a compilation Of

Inowledges is the largest he ever

from West Virginia who served IN
the Revolutionary war, the subse-
quent wars the Indians, the Mexican
war and the Civil War.
When completed the roster WILDE
book of several hundred pages and

QUESTIONS to West Virginia history,
because fhis intimacy with the re.
ports and histories of West Virginia.
Mr.. Lewis is undoubtedly the best
qualified man in the state to under
take such work.

BRYANS ESTIMATE OF COUNTRYPRESS
Ne. Bryan's estimate of conntr

Mr.. Bryan's estimate of country
newspaper editors is shown in a letter
which he recently wrote, SAYING:
/ am glad to commend the work of
The country newspaper. 1t can be
owned by the editor who edits it and
therefore, has behind it a conscience,
and character which can be identified,
which is close to the people and can
give voice to the sentiment of its
readers. We have to depend more
and more upon the country papers
for an educational work that is neces-
sary to correct understanding of
public questions. There is lot of
difference between man who writes
what he is told to write and man
who writes what he believes is a
message to his readers. At this
time, when the great dailies are be-
coming more and more business en-
terprises rather than exponents OF
opinion and especially when number
of them have become the property Of
predatory interests the country news
paper increases in Importance. .

Mr.. EUCHEsHarSHATToP REGION.

The following taken from yester-
days BIuefeId Daily Telegraph,
viii be interesting as throwing an
Illuminating sidelight on republican
politics in the Fifth congressional
district:
Hon James a. Hughes, con-
gresham from this district, arrived
in Blue6eIdiast night. Mr.. Hughes,
during the recess of congress, has
visited many counties in his district
and reports that there is a growing
prosperity everywhere, and nowhere
SO apparent as in the southern sec
ton of West Virginia. The great
and successful fight made by the
West Virginia delegation in congress
for duty on coal is already having
It's effect, and Mr.. Hughes was the
recipient of congratulations on all
sides for the effective part he took
in saving the duty on coal.
Mr.. Hughes is again candidate
for renominat!on, and reports that
he has assurances that he wiIlreceive
a denomination without opposition.
Last night a prominent demo-
cratic coal operator-in fact, one of
the leading men of the section,
stated that so well pleased were all
those engaged in the coal trade with
Mr.. Hughes efforts in behalf of the
coal duty that there would be a
strong effort made to prevent nom
nation being made against him.

Daniel Boone On The Trail comes
to HooF-s Opera House wednes-
day Nov. Srd. It's romantic story
of pioneer days in Kentucky. This
is a brand new production through
out. Manager Harris has gone into
every detail to make this production
a lasting one. J. W. Clinton has
been engaged to play the role of
Daniel Boone because of his striking
appearance and figure, and the
Colonel falls into the role of this
famous hunter. Another engagement
worthy Of note is Rolling Thunder,
the only clever Indian actor on the
stage today. He needs no make up
for his part, save the head dress and
blanket. One of the most exciting
scenes IN the drama IS the snow storm
scene in the mountains and the com
ing of hungry wolves; this scene s
worked behind a large screen curtain
that separates the audience from the
stage, as real monstFous savage
wolves are used in this scene. The
falling of the snow, the burning of
the last stick of wood, the coming of
the wolves and BoOne's fight for life
with them in full view of the audi
ence is thrilling in the extreme and
brings forth rounds of applause.
Manager Harris has also added a
of full blooded Sioux Indians
to the play, leaving nothing undone
to make Daniel Boone On The Trail
a complete production in every re-
spect.

TIMBER DECAY COSTS MILLIONS.

Millions of feet of timber and I'm
ished lumber rot every year in rail-
road ties, bridges, trestles, piles,
farm buildings, fences, poles, and
mine props. The lumber consuming
public of the United States pays per-
haps thirty to forty million dollars a
year to make good the losses from
decay.
These great drains are source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The
u S. Forest Service has men who
devote their whole time to it. The
importance of the problem can not
be overestimated Millions of dollars
are annually saved by preventative
treatment of timbers, but much yet
remains to be learned.
Wood decay, is caused by fungus,
a vegetable growth sometimes so
small that it can be seen only with
the microscope. Its roots or branches,
like minute hairs, force their way in
to the wood tissues and absorb or eat
away the solid parts. The collapse
which results is called decay. Tim
Der is artifcially preserved by forcing
into its cells and pores certain sub
stances which prevent the growth of
fungi. As long as this substance is
present in sufficient quantity, the
germs of decay-the threads and
spores of fungus-can not enter, and
the wood is preserved. This often
means doubling and sometimes treb-
ling the life, of the timber.
The United States government
considers the investigations of the
preservative treatment of timber of
such Importance that the business of
one Office of the United States Forest
Service, that of Wood Preservation,
with new headquarters at Madison,
Wis.,, is given over entirely to the
work of experiments in cooperation
with railroad companies and other
corporations and individuals in pro-
longing the life of railroad ties.
The frightening of the life of tim
Der means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of material for renewals.

WORK FOR THE FOOLKlLER.

HSAAAA avn AAA4 ASOAAAAA4AAAs
About every 50 often the coun-
try is treated to dose of the end
of the world" dope. Some fool gets
the idea that he has bad a private
interview with the Almighty and
that Jehovah informed him that or
a certain day Hewas going to press
the button that would set this little
old world on FIRE and wind up the
whole terrestrial business. Then this
fanatic announces the day and prepa-
rations are made for the final wind up.
The particular sect proceeds to bap-
tie as many believers as can be
induced to accept such doctrine and
a season of PRAYER is engaged in.
The Lord is implored to stand FIRE
and carry out His plans and swat the
sinners who won't believe with "A
terrible swat.
The latest movement of this kind
was recently pulled of up in Massa-
chusetts. Those people call them
selves the triune immersionists, :"
but we would think the term triple
distilled darn fools would be a better
title. ''Trune immersion" would
come Just about as near fitting such
fanatics for the Kingdom of Heaven
as three feeds of rotten fodder would
enable South Carolina mule to make
a crop of cotton.
According to the dispatches, the
chief prayer s offered by these
'triune immersionists' during their
recent waiting on the Lord was
directed on the way of pleading with
Jehovah not to abandon the plans of
fanl wind-up of the earth. ''oh,
Lord, don't disapoint u.s." they
prayed.
During the waiting, which lasted
many days, women became exhausted
and children were starved almost to
death. These little ones, of course,
are to be pitied, but when grown
people in an enlightened country as
this allow religious fanaticism to run
away with their common sense and
set days for the world to come to an
end and offer up prayers to God not
to disappoint them it looks like
something ought to be done. Such
rot needs to be treated with dose
OF work on the rock pile or good,
long sentence in an insane asylum
according to the nature of the case.
Religious liberty is all right as long
as religion is in harmony with COM
mon sense, but when people run off
into a species offanaticism that would
make the idol worshipers of China
blush, it is time that something was
done.
We would be doing humanity and
God a better service to take some of
the money we are spending on foreign
missions trying to convert the heath
en- to Christianity, and use it to found
a school for the edifcatiOn of the
children of such American heather
as these triune immersionists. y
The devil, of course, is sure of the
old folks" but it is a shame and
pity for him to get their innocent
children.-North Carolina Yellow
Jacket.

Jim will you take Bet,
Without any regret;
To love-and cherish
Until one of you perish,
And is laid under the sod,
So help you God:
Jim's white teeth glistened as he
replied in the affirmative.
Then Squire Moore turned to the
girl saying:
Bet will you take Jim,
And cling to him;
Both out and in;
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart
Until death do you part2
Bet acquiesced with a modest bow
OF her woody head, and the couple
were dismissed as follows:
Through LIES alternate JOY and
strife,
l now pronounce you man and wife
Go up life's rugged hill,
Until you both reach the level,
And then salute your bride,
You black trusty devil!
True to the word, the groom en-
braced his bride, and smacked her
lips !. dozen times, to the intense de-
light of the witnesses, and the con-
vulsed judge.
The Squire paused when it came
to kissing the bride himself.
