OHIO VALLEYS FUTURE.

Hon. Robert S. Murphy, son of
the great temperance advocate and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Pennsylvania,
is an eloquent man. With rich
theme, The Ohio Valley of the
Future" he was especially brilliant
in an address at Sewickley, Pennsyl-
vania, recently, closing with the
following prophecy:
With such 4 mighty array of
mills and factories no prophetic in
stinct is required to outline the future.
A future that will reveal to US a
greater increase in population, n
greater return to, both capital and
labor, greater happiness and COM
fort to the individual, and greater
love and appreciation of the best
government that God ever gave to
4 man.
TO my mind the future of ahe
Ohio Valley will be greatly affected
by the completion of the great
Panama canal, which will join the
oceans together. l feel assured that
even before that event is complete,
upon which the world looks with in
ereasing wonder, the great river
which waters this splendid valley
will, by government assistance, en-
JOY le-foot stage, or at least o
foot stage, of water from Pittsburg
to its connection with the great
Mississippi. This, to my mind, is
as certain to come as that the sun
viii rise tomorrow.

WEDNESDAY, JULY IS, 1909.

Newspaper readers have been re-
called with thrilling accounts of
Bwana Tumbo's narrow escape from
death in hippopotamus hunt, only
his rare courage and unerring aim
averting tragedy. According to
reports, the event was only witnessed
by three persons, Bwana and two
natives, who were speechless with
terror and don't speak our language
anyhow. Of course Bwana Jumbo
would seorn to notice any act of
bravery on his own part, and the
mystery os the occurrence is who
furnished the story to the press.

The West virginia senators and

The West Virginia Senators and
Congressman, in order to secure an
unnecessary duty on coal and lum-
Der, are said to have joined forces
with those who want high tariff on
hides. They are working to increase
the price of shoes in order to put
more cash into the pockets of the
wealthy coal producer and the rich
timber owner. Is this the kind of
: protection West Virginia needs?

RIGHT TO TRY
HAVE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE JURlSDIC-
TON UNDER PISTOL-TOTING Law.

Local attorneys and justices of the
peace are deeply interested in the
action of Judge Sampselle. of the
Mingo criminal court, who holds
that justices of the peace havs no
jurisdiction in pistol violations.
In instructing the grand jury at
the beginning of the present term
of his court Judge Sampselle made
especial reference to the fact that
several Mingo county justices had
violated the Johnson pistol act by
trying cases without jurisdiction.
Wheeling justices hold that they
have jurisdiction, having tried cases
and imposed sentence under the pro-
visions of the Johnson act.
Lawyers and judges seem to dis
agree concerning the question OF
jurisdiction with reference to JUS
tees, and an opinion of the attorney
general is being awaited.

Night Rider Cases.

Paducah, KY, April 21. Compro-
misses have been effected with all the
Lyon county defendants in the night
rider suits. A motion was filed to dis
miss all defendants residing in Lyon
county, who were the subject of suits
growing out of the raids on Dycusburg,
View and Eddyville. The amount of
compromise for the Lyon county con-
tingent was So, 500. This makes total
of s22, 1000 paid by defendants for re-
lease from new cases. One hundred
men from Triggs county and the off
cials of the Association remain defend
ants. Defendants who were implicated
in the Hollowell suit and in those now
being settled have been compelled to
pay nearly $4,000, and it is said that
the burden has been heavy for them.
They are assessed according to their
ability to pay. There is no doubt that
the Federal Court suits have been
powerful factor in discouraging night
riding.

fraction and only scattering lots remain
in growers hands. Neither do late
prices vary from those quoted fre-

crop would be practically at an end.
