The Chicago National League club,
considered as one of the graatest
baseball machines In baseball, piloted
by the Peerless Frank Chance and
owned by Charles Murphy. will have
to be rebuilt before many more sea
sons pass. Those Cubs are making n
great stand against tneir enemies in
the National League pennant race
this season, but will that famous and
tricky infield. which has been playing
together five or six years, and also
the great trio of outfelders. Schultz,
Scheckard and Hoffman. maintain
their speed and endurance In the next
championship race? The Cub yetef-
ans are playing at high speed this sea-

mmon with GOOD citizens every

II futures upon margins calculated

ii would be well for our Republican
rethren to look up the yea and nay

honorable senator from Iowa so aptly
characterizes those who vote for the in

The school teachers of Berkeley coun-
ty at their county institute passed re-
solutions recommending that the next
legislature enact law levying tax
on natural gas transported from the
state, that three-fourths of the proceeds
be Appropriated to the school fund for
the increase of the salaries of teachers
and the balance goto the state treasury
for the administration of the law and
and general support of the state gov
eminent. We are informed that this
movement has been pushed through
every institute in this state during the
summer at the instance of the State
Superintendent who instructed the
| instrutors of the institutes TO get it
through in each county where they
held institutes.
/ This is only another subterfuse to
raise more money to pay the army Of
| office holders riding the backs of the
taxpayers of the state without any
| benefit to the schools or teachers.
/ The crew which has been running The
state government and il now running
it, are always hardpressed for money
to pay the running expenses and if
the Legislature enacts such law it
will never reach the teachers. No,
No. Toapply it to the schools would
not pay election debts and obligations
the thing most needed by the ma
nine.
There is another thing to consider
ed by the people of this section in
connection with the proposed tax on
gas transported from the state. There
has been for the past several years
movement on foot to pipe West Vir-
ginia gas to Washington and Dalti-
more and the right of way has been
procured through this and Jefferson
counties. The people of Baltimore
have been unable to give the gas people
such franchise rs they need for the
/ project but that will be arranged be
fore long and without any other hind
erances the towns through this section
Will have the luxury of natural gas.
1t would doubtless be xpensive to
convey gas so far and it would take a
small tax to raise the cost TO the pro-
hloative point or else make the price
OF gas to our peaple so high chat is
would be otno advantage to them. Put
a nigh tax on gas and Martinsburg
VIII never see natural gas.

! fbe result Of the contest for tie post
office 10 this city Iast winter and
spring wss a complete surprise 10 many
people Mr.. Henshsw, The successful
contestant was apparently Indifferent
and TO all out ward appearances was
making no contest aud only saying
that he was a candidate. Lately q
story come 10 our ears that the whole
matter was fixed up long before and
that Mr. Sturgiss knew al the time
he had the contestants running to
Washington aud bringing their friends
down by the dozen, just what he was
going to do and TO whom he was going
to give the Office.
The story goes about as follows:
James II. Stewart, who was former
ly a democrat and was appointed to
the position he has been holding for
years as the head Of TIE Agricultural
Experiment station at the University,
was candidate for reappontment
under the new state administration
and it was up to Governor Glassock to
appoint HIM or some one else Glass
cock was for years Collector Of Inter
nal Revenue and Mr.. Henshaw was
his deputy at this place. y warm
friendship sprung up Deteewn them
and the Governor thought Mr. Hen
shaw was the most Influential polit-
ician in this section of the state and OF
course wanted TO see him succeed Mr..
Clohan as postmaster at Martinsburg.
Mr.. Stewart Is a brother-in-law to
Mr.. Sturgiss and Of course Mr.. Sturgiss
wanted his brother-in-aw reappointed
and asked Governor Glasscock to re-
appoint him. The governor saw a
chance to make deal and agreed to
reappoint Mr.. Stewart if Mr.. Sturgiss
would appoint his friend Henshaw TO
the office of postmaster of Martinsburg
and 1t was then and there agreed.
