AT last cut in prices has been made
by the Steel Trust on certain products OF
steel and iron. The reduction having been
first made by an independent company.
1t is time that prices are being reduced,
for, protected by an outrageouSly high
tariff, the manufacturers have bled the
people numerically for the past dozen
years or more. With steel and iron re-
duced, there ought to be lower prices on
a great many other necessities Of life.

THE West Virginia Legislature has not
yet given us primary election law. The
House has passed bill that the Senate
refuses to agree to, and the Senate has
passed one that is opposed by the House.
The result will be, in all probability, a
deadlock, which is what is really wanted
by those who control the Legislature.
No action is just as satisfactory as de-
liberate killing.
We must repeat our belief that the
Democrats are making a mistake not TO
pass primary election law, for the peo-
pie will hold responsible those who shall
defeat it.
Latest - Information comes from
Charleston that the Legislature has ad-
iourned without enacting primary cleo
ton law. The two houses passed sepa-
rate bills with antagoniStic provisions,
and no effort whatever seems to have
been made 10 get together on measure.
The result is distinct triumph for the
bosses.

COLD chills ran up and down the Spi-
nal columns of number of Legislators and
politicians OF the Charleston variety last
week, when it was published that there
was TO be an investigation by the United
States Senate OF the charges of bribery
and corruption in connection with the re-
cent election OF Senators from West Viz
ginia Fortunately the rumors proved to
be without foundation, and those con-
cerned are again breathing freely.
II is gratifying to know that the Senate
recognizes the purity OF West Virginia
politics by refusing to harbor any suspi-
cionS as to our methods.

A Terrible Accident.

Platteville Witness, July 2: Charles
Kane, residing on South Court street,
at the top Of Cheever hill, met with an
awful accident Tuesday afternoon when
fifty dynamite caps which he intended
to use to celebrate the Fourth, went of
while holding the box in his lap.
He had attached fuse to a cap,
lighted the fuse and threw the cap a
distance of perhaps couple OF rods.
Both his eyes We're blown out, his head
badly cut. his left hand was torn off his
right hand badly mutilated, and the
inner muscles of both his legs were re-
duced almost to a pulp. He was re-
moved to the hospital where he now
lies. His death is expected any mo-
ment.
A son of Mr.. Kane and daughter of
Harvey Kane were quite badly injured
by the explosion, though not fatally.

The Gollmar Brothers Circus
Parade.

Those who are disposed to be skep-
teal regarding the size and merit OF
the Gollmar Brothers Circus will have
all doubts dispelled by seeing the
tremendous spectacular street display
given by that concern on the principal
streets Of this city.
The Pageant Of the Gollmar Brothers
is a complete surprise. 1t is lengthy
professional array, such as can only
be produced by the fortunate com
bination Of unlimited wealth, I'm
daunted courage original ideas, and
determination to eclipse all similar
displays. That the Gollmars have
succeeded in achieving their purpose Is
generally conceded Their parade Is
ike their circus. The highest class
in the world.
Instead Of the wooden dens, the
Gollmar Brothers adopted the monster
steel cages and dens each one being
almost as large and as strong as the
average railroad car.
The Gollmars were among the first
.howmen to make feature Of the ever
attractive Shetland ponies, and this
season have in parade and "horse fair, "
more Of these children's pets than are
to be found with all other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals, it is not
strange that the length, brilliancy
attractiveness, and instructiveness OF
the matchless Gollmar Brothers Parade
is a revelation to all who have never
seen It, while the constant progressive
ness Of this amusement institution also
astounds those who have witnessed il

A Witty Retort.

AS is generally the case with people

number Of his commercial friends who
were dining at a country hotel. When
cheese was served it was Of decided
'lively'' brand, much to the delight of

Gollmar Brothers Arrange for the
Children.

Gollmar Brothers Show, which is
booked to exhibit one day only in Min
eral Point, Friday, July 81, has made
unusual efforts to entertain the little
folks as we'll as the adults with whole
some and profitable amusement. The
date of visit by the Gollmar Brothers
becomes a veritable "children' day"
In this country there are hundreds of
large cities and good towns where the
Gollmar Brothers Show is popular. 1t
is always accorded a hearty welcome
and liberal patronage wherever it ex
hibits The Gollmars would like to
please the children of every community
but it is a physical impossibility for
their Circus to visit all of its towns at
Just the right time To do such thing
would neceSSitate the dividing of the
SHOW, and this they would not do. No
matter how small a town the Gollmar
Brothers Circus may visit, it is never
divided. 1t is one of the little rules
that has made the combination what it
is
1t is fact that the Gollmars made
greater efforts, and have gone to more
expense to entertain the little folks than
any other managers. Older people can
always find entertainment, but it is
the little ones that are neglected
by many. Almost one half of the
space in the animal tent is filled with
objects of special interest to the little
people. The entire center is iilled.with
the finest Shetland ponies ever seen in
one collection. They are of all sizes
and colors. These ponies are used in
the magnificent parade TO pull the little
cages of the miniature menagerie.
Almost one side of the big menagerie
tent is filed with little, cute and costly
cages, made in imitation of the larger
ones. These small cages are inhabited
by small animals, such as monkeys. etc.
In the circus proper, there are many
clowns who are employed for the sole
purpose of entertaining the children.
Buster Brown is there, too.
In addition TO these attractions must
be added the several acts of trained an
imals. The child who is so fortunate as
to have enjoyed such amusement is
winning much in an educational way.

Since his recent denial Of the doc

circles from one end of the country

statement has been that it is now
only matter Of time-possibly of a
very short when a way to man

he declares the wizard, of the fancial
systems Of the world will be upset.
Edison also predicts that within
the coming century poverty will be

over, he declares, that the working
men of America will precipitate a
great economic and Industrial change
