A TRAGIC REIGN.

One of the prominent figures In
the terrible European conflict is
Francis Joseph. emperor Of Austria
who was 81 years old yesterday. anu
whose career probably has been as
tragic as that Of any ruler mentioned
in history. He was crowned at the
age Of is. and has therefore ruled for
e6 years. During his first few months
on the throne Hungary revolted, re-
fusing to accept him as king. In 1867:
.ho fought with France and most oil
the Italian states, and years later
Rismark forced him into the Seven
Weeks War. 1t was his declaration
OF war against servia which precipi-
tated the present titanic struggle In
volving almost all Of Europe.
/, In addition to the wars which have
occurred during his reign, Francis
Joseph has had domestic woes great
er than those which fall to the lot Of
the average mortal. His wife was
assassinated. His son and heir took
his own life. A. daughter quarrelled
with her husband. Prince otto. and
shot and killed his mistress. an ac-
tress. Three attempts were made on
his own life. A few weeks ago his
heir apparent, the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, was assassinated, and the
European war resulted. - Wheeling

CHARTER CHANGES.

Huntington people are agitating
some changes in their charter. Hunt
ington has a bipartisan plan that
has been very satisfactory, as tho
dominant parties have so managed
the affairs Of the city that partisan
ism has been practically kept out Of
the city government.
Charleston, with a similar charter.
cannot say SO mucl, for her city gov
ernment. The politicians have kept
Charleston in a turmoil under the
present form and the city has not
profited by the experience. Bluefield
wants her charter changed, and Fair
mont will never be the Greater Fair
mont that she is destined to be until
the rank p%artisanism is ripped out OF
the city charter, o until the men
who are Hired at large salaries to do
the work Of the. city, devote their full
time to the business Of the city.
It is unfortunate that the legisla-
lures have to- be bothered with these
local municipal affairs at each SEES
sion, but since the legislature is'the
only avenue of relief the people must
30 there. This is the best argument
that can be advanced for the passage
Of the municipal code law. II this
law was in effect thousands Of dol

Hog cholera Is disease which
seems to be stopped to degree by the
frosts of winter, although frost can
not be said to stop a case after il has
taken hold of its victim. However. It
seems to prevent the rapid spread of
he diseaes. The result is that in the
spring time the affection is as a rule
at the lowest ebb but increases rapid
ly froin that time until fall.
Hog cholera does not seem to affect
any particular breed of hogs more
than another, and while generally the
careless farmer is more apt to have
the disease among his hogs than the
careful one, the disease sometimes oc-
ours where the conditions are sani-
tary. It is hoped that the work may
be extended gradually until the dis
ease is completely controlled or elm
mated. The fact that hog cholera is
carried not only by the hogs them
selves, but by birds, dogs. streams and
even on the feet of men going from
one farm to another, shows how nee
essary It is that the campaign be
thorough and that farmers exert their
best efforts to assist in the work
