If Democratic sources of in formation are to be relied upon, the Republicans definitely are down and out. The news from the Republican side is that the Dem ocrats have spent the country to the verge of bankruptcy, and that what they are going to get in November will be plenty. In view of conflicting claims, but more especially since it is the fled policy of this column to rub no ones fur the wrong way politically, 3 search for deead e.cy will be made in other guar te1s.

Car Ownership Shows Gain

Automobile ownership in
creased 81 per cent in West
Virginia in the five-year period
ending in 1889, Edwin F. Patrick
Secretary of the West Virginia
Petroleum Association, CharlesI
ton, said today. In 1884 a total
of 235,15 passenger cars were
registered, and in 1889 registra-
tions stood at 292, 4S4, a gain of
69,329 automobiles.
This remarkable increase in
car ownership in w. Va, shows
the growing Importance of high
way transportation to modern
living even among families of
modest means. Studies Indicate
that most of the families in this
state that have joined the ranks
of car owners during the past
five years have incomes of less
than $50 u week." Mr.. Patrick
said.

demonstrated ability to sink them

the accompaniment of knees that

when Mr., Sharkev had whitfield five
times and was winding up hopefully
for sixth shot at the target, Mr.

floor, where he showed every sign
Of being fixed for the evening.
The faulty timing of this gesture
did not escape the crowd. Every

was over. Mr.. Sharkey donned his

was hauled to his corner. The time
keeper reached for a cigar. The
boys were ready to call it a night
and go home-until the crowd
yelled
There was something in the flavor
of that yell that warned all parties,
from the referee down to Unknown
Winston, that they had better do it
over again, and do it right
SO Mr.. Sharkey took off his robe,
Unknown emerged reluctantly from
his coma and they fought the sec
ond fight of the bargain double
header, until Mr Sharkey knocked
Mr.. Winston out again. 1t was
longer than the first one, if not
much better, and finally the crowd
agreed to disband
1t was very good crowd, exer-
cising its franchise in a way that
fight crowds seldom do. 1t deserved
something better than Sharkey and
Winston. and I think it will get
something better, for a few brief
minutes, from Joe Louis. This Louis
is the genuine article.
