Captain John c. FELTON,, Of Pleasant

best known and most popular Of many
OF the gallant boys who wore the blue
Through the momentops struggle Of
1S6l:lS65s places himself on record as
fayorlnG Hon. Chas. W. swIsher for
Governor OF West Virginia because
Mr.. Swishers father was soldier
who wore the Blue also.
81 have known .Chas. W, Swlsher
for a good many years, said Capt.
FELTON,, in conversation with a news.
paper correspondent at Buckhannon a
few days ago, "and all that ! know
about himsis good. knewihis father.
Alpheus ,Swisher, before him, and all
That | knew Of the elder Swlsher was
good. When the war broke out, Al
bheus s&lsher. Charley's father, left
his farm in Marion county, and, going
TO Clarksburg In October OF 1862.
when his country's need was the great
est, enlisted in Co. B, Sixth w. Va. In;
fantry. He was afterward transferred
to the LIST W. Va, Light Artillery. He
served CALAMITY through three years.
and was mustered out at Wheeling, W.
Va, in 1855.
"Alpheus Swlsher was OF the sturdy
yoemanry' that made the best soldiers
the soldiers that could stand the
greatest fatigue, that fought to the
last ditch, that piled up the highest en-
trenchments in the Quickest time. The
elder Swisher served his county well,
and 1 doubt not that the, son will
serve his country quite as we'll, II In a
different, manner"
II Knew the elder Swisher and j
know the son who wants TO be govern.
DR. OF this great state-and consider
him adequate to the job. Four years
ago, when Charley Swisher gave up
the nomination for the governorship-
a nomination he won fairly and
sQuarely and after one OF the hardest
fights that candidate ever went
through with in West Yirginia-and
in the interest OF harmony In the Re
publican party sacrificed himself to
what he believed 10 be that party's ur-
gent needs, he performed as patriotic
an action as did his father when he
laid down the farming implement to
take up the musket in defense OF his
country"
81 think that every ex-union soldier
in West Virginia should be proud to
honor Charley Swisher with a vote to
be Governor. am thoroughly con-
WINGED thatif Swisher is nominated on,
June 18th he will be elected governor
in November, and believe too that
he will make one OF the very best gov
errors this State has ever had. He
has the backbone to stand up for
what is best for the people OF the
State, and he will never be found
Sinking when the interests OF the
good old Republican party OF West
virginia are at stake. We need Just
such man as Charley Swisher to gov
ern West Virginia. A man who will
labor increasingly for the welfare OF
his State and the glory OF her people"

REMARKABLE FUNERAL TAKES
PLACE IN JAPAN TODAY

Toxic Sept. i2.-After six weeks OF
mourning, which have given rise to
demonstrations Of patriotism almost
without parallel in the history of
Japan. the funeral ceremony of the
Emperor Mutsuhito. who died on July
so will be celebrated tomorrow even
ing on the Aoyama parade ground.
The interment Will follow at Motoy
anna Kyoto, where an estate has bean
purchased by the imperial household
as the site of the imperial mausoleum.
Tomorrow's obsequies Will be
magnificent tribute from the people OF
Japan and the powers of the world to
the memory of the late emperor. 1t
will be the most numerous assem-
blage Of eminent representatives OF
foreign rulers ever brought together
In this country. The United States has
sent Philander Knox, secretary of
state the sending OF whom on such a
mission is understood TO be without
precedent In the history of the great
American republic. That Japan fully
appreciates the unusual courtesy has
been evidenced by the marked cor
diality with which Secretary Knox
and his party have been everywhere
received since their arrival in the
country.
Two other foreign ENJOYS Of note
have shared equally with Secretary
Knox as the recipients OF official
courtesy and public attention They
are Prince Arthur of Connaught, rep
resenting King George Of Great Brit
ain, and Prince Henry of Prussia. rep
resenting the German emperor. Meth
er Prince Arthur nor Prince Henry is
a stranger to Japan. The former was
sent here several years ago by the late
King Edward to bestow the insignia Of
the order of the Garter upon the m
peror Mutsuhito. while Prince Henry
of Prussia has twice visited Japan in
his capacity as an officer of the Ger
many navy.
In addition 10 those named the for
eign ENJOYS include distinguished rep
resentatives of the Gar of Russia, the
Emperor of Austria Hungary, the

SOCIAL REFORM.

II the owners OF disorderly houses
could be effectively reached by law,
white slavery would find it hard to
exist and the social evil in general
would receive a vital blow. This is
just what has been accomplished b.
the injunction and abatement law
initiated by the state of Iowa. Note
some of its advantages over criminal
proceedings Any citizen can insti-
tute action against such public
nuisance. If the offender is acquit-
ted on action for temporary injunc-
ton. he can be tried over again for
the same offense for permanent in
junction, and. if again acquitted, the
Supreme Court can be appealed to for
review OF the evidence and the
penalty entered there. In the success
sive nuisance injunctions, too, subse-
quent violations may be introduced
as evidence, whereas In a criminal
proceeding this may not be done
The general reputation of a place is
also accepted as evidence. Of you
are able to establish the existence of
the nuisance. said John b. Ham
mond, before the Sixth international
Purity Congress, "the court shall, not
may, permanently enjoin the occu-
pant, the inmates, the property own
ers and the property itself, and abate
the nuisance by confiscatlng the
furniture, closing the building and
placing a lien of $500 against the
property, to be collected in the same
way as taxes are collected. Leslie S

ANOTHER PACE THAT KILLS.

The life insurance business is not Il
gamble. Its risks" considered In
bulk. are not risks at all. They ara
based on cold, hard rules obtained as
the result of many years close and
comprehensive study Of morality rec
ords. So, in cases where life insur-
ance companies refuse to issue
policies, there are good reasons for it.
The national association of life in
surance men met in Chicago, last
week One of the most interesting
subjects It considered was the in
creasing desirability of women as IN r
surance risks. It Is estimated that
there are about 100000 women
earning their living in this country,
many of them with other dependent
on them for support The Insurance
companies are gradually including
them In their field of operations.
But this is what one of the most
eminent insurance authorities said
during the convention: Women who
live the so-called high life have a
hard time getting insurance on their
lives Companies do not want to
take them They eat such indigesti-
BILE foods, drink SO many harmful
beveridges and so weaken their
vitality by an artificial way of living
that they go the quick route to the
grave"
Denunciation, ridicule and argu-
ment have in vain assaulted the mode
of life followed by many of the idle
rich and the ultra-fashionable. New
ertheless, high society has gone Sc
renely and gaily on its way. But
here, at last, is something which may
we'll make it pause. The verdict OF
the life insurance actuaries is Il
warning so grim that 1t can not
lightly be disregarded.

ed as something of an outlet to the
suburbs for New Yorks population
but transportation by street car was
slow and the radius of suburban de-
velopment was only slightly ex-
tended
The tube was built Passengers
were picked up in the heart of New
York and in a few brief minutes they
were taken in electric underground
trains to the suburbs A few minutes
more and they were far from Broad
way and out where land was cheaper.
The result was that in the space OF
a few years great cities were built
along the line Of the tube. The
development was the most marvellous
that New York has ever known. And
that development is still going on.
Now Chicagos subway will prob
ably be built. partly at least. out OF
the cities share Of the earnings Of its
surface lines. There may be some
private capital added to it,
The subway at present IS planned
only to be built as far south as Sew
.enty-ninth street on Cottage Grove
avenue. The Hammond Chamber of
Commerce should point out to the
proper officials that Hammond is the
gateway to the great Calumet region:
that this region is experiencing the
most remarkable Industrial develop
ment that Indiana has ever known,
that there will be a million people
living in Lake County In twenty
years and that any subway system
that is planned for Chicago can not
ignore these facts.
The subway should be built to
Hammond and thence straight west
to Gary. While these suggestions
may not bear fruit now it will %e
we'll for the citizens of Hammond and
Gary to make themselves heard On
this proposition. The idea of the
great future of the Calumet region
should be inculcated in the minds OF
the great fnanciers OF Chicago until
they will not be able to leave this
region out of their plans in the
future.

Basis for arresting Nive- was oc-

live near the Grubba house and knew
the child. He long ago took fancy
to the crippled tot and frequently
came to her home and played with
her and gave her small presents. The
