The police records of MartinSburg show
that since June OF last year there have
been 375 arrests in that city. OF these,
PIT were for drunkenness and 90 for dis
orderly conduct and fighting, leaving but
48 tor miscellaneous offenses. Last week
there was not cell-room sufficient to ac-
commodate the prisoners who were lock-
ed up for offenses directly traceable to the
saloons.
There will be no grand jury for Morgan
county at the April term of court, there
being no necessity for one. The jail is
empty and has been for some time; in
fact, very few prisoners have been incar-
cerated therein during the past nine
months. All OF which tells its own story
for a no-license town. Those favoring
saloons may talk as they please. but they
can't get away from the fact that where
there is no booze there is better order
and fewer arrests for violations OF law

Judge Henry L. Myers, the Senator
electfrom Montana, is OF Jefferson county
descent. His father, the late Henry l.

the farm where the late Thos. w. Locke
resided. After reaching manhood, he
moved TO Bonneville, Missouri, where
Just before the Civil War he married q
Miss Adams. The Senator ELECT was
born in Bonneville in 1862. Their re-
moval to Montana some years after the
war was due TO the failing health OF the
mother of the family. A few years age
Judge Myers visited Mrs. w. c. Carroll
and Mrs. John ]. Locke, his cousin in
Charles Town. In spite of the fact that
Montana "has past" in the matter Of

deals without number, Henry L. Myers
will enter the Senate with no putrid mass
of scandal and corruption dragging after
him.-AdpOcate.
