Tracy OF this town to recover dam
sponsible for the disappearance OF

Smith caused Tracy's arrest after the
disappearance of the foxes. The act
ual loss is set at 1855, and treble
damages are asked.
This is a civil case and is not to be
COMPOUNDED with the criminal action
pending against Mr.. Tracy in connec-
ton with the disappearance Of the
foxes and skunks, a charge to which
Mr.. Tracy has pleaded not guilty.
1t was stated here Wednesday af-
ternoon that the trial Of the criminal
case will not come until after the trial
of the civil case, which, it Is expected,
will be heard at the present term of
court. The criminal case may not be
tried before May or June.
Northeast Snowstorm Wednesday.
Another young blizzard swooped
down on Putnam from the northeast
Wednesday afternoon and piled snow
over already drifted areas in a way
that discouraged those who had been
hoping that the last big snow storm
of the season had been suffered. In
the early afternoon there was driving
sleet and hail, but this later changed
to a binding snow storm that rapidly
had its effect on street car traffic and
| other traffic over the highways, which
in many places were badly drifted
previously and only a little more snow

The mass meeting of the citizens of Wheeling and Ohio county
called for next Monday evening to decide n a demonstration of the
loyalty of the community to the national government, and TO give
encouragement to the men at the front in defense of the nation 5 honor
ought to meet with a response worthy of the cause. 1t was in Wheel
ing ffty-hve years ago that a great assemblage of the patriotic men
OF Western Virginia met to voice their devotion to the Union, and with
no laggard step the sons and fathers of the city marched forth TO
sustain that Union. We are now facing a situation which calls for
an expression of support of the government, which has been driven to
an alternative it has all too patiently avoided. 1t is not a time, when
insult has been heaped on the flag and the national authority has been
subjected to insuferabe indignties, to inquire into the failure of our
policy toward Mexico. That will be adjusted in due time. The duty
of the hour Is answering featy to the government at home and our
armies IN the field. 1t Is an occasion that should silence party strife
and smother political differences in an exemprfcation of the loftiest
patriotism when none is for the party and all are for the State"
=. BY many it has been considered a reproach to Wheeling the chief
city in the State, and its wealthiest community. that she has no repre-
sentaton in the National Guard that Is now mobilzing at kanawha
City. but The Inteligcncer knows that the lack of such representation
is in nowi>e due 20 "a lack of the American spirit of her brave people
Wheeling has never delauIted in any appeal to her conscience, nor has
she failed To meet any expectation of her high minded citizenship,
therefore The lnteIigeuccr Is confident that she will not be slack in
responding TO this call to a pledge of her loyalty that has never known
d shadow of turning.

Assuming that IL will be the pur.

There is considerable division OF
opinion in military circles as 10 the
most effective way OF making war on

But would that accord with previous
declarations for humanity? That this
method would be most ~salutary il
true. but for obvious reasons (,
Ia not 20 be thought OF. The
hatred of the United States that
would result from such a course
would more than outbslance all the
military advantages gained. or course.
a strict blockade must be declared
upon all military stores and equip
ment. but under the conditions ina,
prevail in Mexico today the starvation
policy would be most reprehensible.
