Brown, of Kingwood. has been frequently mentioned as the Democratic nominee for Congress in this district. We under stand that Mr. Brown would like to have the nomination and would put upa strong fight should the party select him as its leader, but he will enter into no scramble for the honor. He was the nominee for that position a few years ago, and, while defeated, he made a good race and greatly endeared himself to the people of the district. He is confident that the Democ racy will win this fall, and is willing to do his part towards securing tile victory. He will have many friends in every county in jhe district.?Fairmont Index. rhe Town Council last night elected officers as follows: J. A. R. Mathena. collector; W. S. Morris and Geo.

Augustine J. Smith (Secre tary to Mr. Rouss). P. S.?Mr. Rouss' authority for making sight drafts on him being equivalent to paying the donation. A. J.S. State Board of Equalization. The board raised the valuation in five counties and decreased it in three. The revaluations in the other counties were left undisturbed. The counties in which the increases were made, with the per centages.are: Logan. 10; first district in Marshall, 20; Mercer, 25; first district in McDowell, 60; second district in McDowell, 10; Tucker, 10; Tvler, 25. The counties in which decreases were made with their per centages, are: Jefferson. 5; city district in Ohio, 12J; county district in Ohio, 5: Wood, 5. The county which caused the most con troversy was Tyler. In this county no revaluation was made, and the old assess ment of $1. 74S, 709 was reported. Tes timony taken by the board showed that in Sistersville alone, which is now as sessed at $171,000, the property is worth $2,000,000. The board, after considerable discussion, not as to what should be done, but as to how it should be done, decided to ordeFa horizontal increase of 25 per cent and to request the Governor to re commend to the legislature~the enactment of a special act providing for a revaluation in Tyler. Two resolutions were offered in regard to the Tyler readjustment. One of these, that finally adopted, was offered by Mr. Lowther. The other was offered Hv r O'Brien. The resolution which was offered by Mr. Lowther is as follows: " This board finds from the returns of Tyler county that the reassessment in said county is grossly inadequate, and " Whereas, From the testimony pre sented to this board it is clearly shown that a conservative valuation in the city of Sistersville alone would exceed at least $ i, 500,000, and. "Whereas, This board finds from the evidence presented tliat the land in Ty ler-county outside the city of Sistersville is under-assessed by 25 per cent, and -Whereas, Upon adviceofth^attorney general, this board is unable to reach the condition existing therein, now, there fore, be it "Resolved, That Tyler county be in creased 25 per cent, on the aggregate and that this board request the Governor to recommend to the next session of the legis lature the passage of a special act provid ing for a reassessment in said county." The substitute offered by Mr. O'Brien (which was voted down) was as follows: "Whereas. It is the opinion of the at torney general that this board has but one true and proper course to pursue in regard to the valuation in Tyler county, namely, to put the entire property in said county at its true value. And "Whereas, This board is of the opinion that the entire property of said county is tully worth for taxation purposes $3,497. 000. Therefore, be it " Resolved, That the valuation as re turned by the commissioner of reas assessment be increased 100 per cent." On the substitute Messrs. O'Brien and Chew voted aye and Messrs. Silraan, Lowther and Ileavener voted no. On the original, Messrs. Silman, Low ther and Heavener voted aye and Messrs. Chew and O'Brien voted no. As altered the revaluations in the several counties in which changes were made are: Logan, $022,235.60 Marshall?First district, $3,834,108. Mercer, $2,4(53,202.50 McDowell?First district, $2,241,303.. 17 ; second district, $873,009.86. Tucker, $1,922,162.18, Tyler. $2,185,860.23. Jeffersot, $4,304,259.29. Wo>d, $7,555.S2<;.7?.

Tfco Confederate Reunion at-Louls-. ville, J?y.. last week, was a great big, grand affair, notwithstanding an almost continuous downpour of rain, which ne cessitated striking from the programme all features of outdoor entertainment, for. which preparation had bean made on an immense scale. The veterans-were there tn immense numbers, the people of Louis ville did the handsome thing, the city was brilliant in electric display and dec orations, and good fellowship was on every band. At the opening of the reunion meeting General Gordon made a handsome speech and Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer, ot New Or leans, delivered an eloquent oration. " Dixie," " Old Kentucky Home " and other tunes were rendered, the speeches made and the roof almostlifted, when, as the Courier-Journal says. Gen, Gordon stepped to the front of the stage and yelled: __ "Boys, you who cacAlSlSlsing 'Auld Lang Syne.'" Buried somewhere in the heart of the crowd near the stage a bugler blew a shrill blare as a prelude. Instantly ten thousand men and women rose to their feet as if they had been drilled to rise simultaneously, " Should dear old comrades beforgot. And never brought to mind?" It was like the roar ot a vast herd of buffalo-stampeded on the plains: The sound rose and fell like the sea during a storm. High above the crowd, standing on the balcony near the rail at the western end of the hall was a girl clad in crimson and white, and -iibove all that grand powerful roar of melody her beautiful al to voice rang out clearly and distinctly. "To join in blessed memories Of days of auld lang syne." On the left and on the right men and women were weeping. They made no attempt to hide their tears, nor was there any need for hiding. They held to each other's arms and sang or tried to sing o?_ "Where we may reunite. With Morgan, Sidney Johnston, Helm, And all who wore the gray." It was a scene long to be remembered by all who saw or heard, and not one of those grizzled warriors will ever forget it. While the bands played Dixie and 10, ooo soldiers who wore the gray stood arid veiled and waved their hats, hands and handkerchiefs, Gen. John B. Gordon was elected Commander-in-Chief to serve another year. The other officers of the association were also re-elected. At the opening of Thursday's session Gen. Gordon asked that the veterans stand and sing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The vast, gathering rose as one man and the thousands of voices in accord seemed to shake the big hall. An attempt to defeat a clause in the resolutions which commended and recip rocated recent utterances by Gen. Daniel E. Sickles at a Grand Army gathering on Southern soil was overwhelmingly de feated. Leading survivors of the Con federacy, one and all, begged that no old wounds be reopened and that sectional ism be left to molderin the grave to which it was confided two years ago, when hos tilities with Spain broke out. In an argument favoring the adoption of the clause in the resolutions expressing kindly feelings to General Sickles and the Army of the Potomac, Rev. W. E. Hill, formerly of Virginia, but now of Mississippi, made a plea for the adoption of the paragraph, and J. H. Shepherd, of Richmond, was one of the few who fought it. Gen. Gordon was loudly called for. and came to the front and said; " I trust the time will never come while I stand on_ Southern ground, or among the chival rous men of the South, when I will refuse to send a kindly message to an enemy. I know the sender of this message. On the heights of Gettysburg he stood gal lantly in front of my lines, and it was my bullets that sent- him to the rear with a leg off. For me, I am going to recipro cate the kindly message ot the Northern soldier." Wild cheers greeTed this declaration. The question was put, and in was adopted with a roarot assent. But at no time was the applause louder than when announcement was made that the promised .$100,000 contri bution of Charles Broadway Rouss, of New York,to the Battle Abbey fund, .had been authorized to be drawn from bank by the generous donor. Gen. Gordon interrupted the reading of the Battle Abby report at the letter of Charles Broadway Rouss, by asking that the greetings ot the veterans be sent to this blind, generous friend of the Con federacy who gave #100,000 to the Me-] morial Association. The vast crowd re sponded with arising vote and with ring ing ctreers. Among the resolutions adopted was one declaring that hereafter, in speaking of the war between the United States and the Confederate States the conflict shall be designated as the war between the States. A. J. Smith, a one-armed Federal vet eran. of New York, amid wild cheers, in vited the veterans to meet next year in Buffalo. The invitation was courteously declined aud a resolution of kindly ap preciation in response to it adopted.? Memphis, Tenn., was selected as the next place of meeting. About $10,000 was contributed for the Jefferson Davis monument. * The mammoth ball Thursday night was a magnificent affair, and was attend ed by from twelve to fifteen thousand persons. For special courtesies at Louisville we are jjersonally indebted to Miss Florenee Barlow, of the " Lost Cause," to the gen tlemen of the Press Headquarters, ami to Mr. and Mrs. Will Craig, than more whole-souled, courteous people we have never met.

[From tlie Lonievlile Times.] _ - To those who Were fortunate enough to be present, the spectacle of the open ing of the tenth Confederate Reunion yesterday will long-linger in the mind as a glorious and inspiring occasion. It is one thing to read the hurried written newspaper accounts of the vast concouTse of men in gray met beneath the tattered folds of the flag they fonght to defend and it is another thing to have gazed at the imposing throng, the survivors of one of the world's greatest-armies; it is one thing to hear about the spontaneous out bursts of enthusiasm and quite another to have the heart throbbed and the ear swelled by that great rebel yell, for four years thetriumphantcryof a great cause. The Confederate reunions are peculiar and distinctive, unlike any other national meeting, and no assemblage within the borders of the United States is more picturesque than this one. Nothing exceeds the devotion that the Confederate pays his leader. On the pages of American history that devotion has its best inscription in the four-years' record of the forces of the Confederacy; one long, proud story of thrilling affec tion and loyalty to a cause that was be lieved to be right. But vou get a fine demonstration of that devotion at the big reunion meeting. It is fine and affecting. No tribute could have been truer than the one to Gordon. There have been occasions in Louisville when mighty as semblages paid homage to natiqnal heroes, but the one is yet-to be made that will exceed that outburst tu honor of the bat tle-scarred leader from Georgia. And if the others were less demonstra tive, they were not less sincere. White haired Gen. Buckner could only have | been proud and delisted, and "Old Tiger" Cabell got a rouser. For Evans, Reagan, Hickman, West and all the rest there was a tribute loud, long and hearty. It simply shows the remarkable devotion. And then people ask, .what was the spirit of the Confederacy? They don't pro pound this question after seeing a reunion opened. This same devotion is not confined to General and inferior soldier. It is the same between private and private. There was a thrilling example in the Georgia delegation. An old white-haired veteran in a suit of gray, who was setting under the banner of Gen. Gordon's State, sud denly esspied another white-haired man who was in Tenncssee's section. He was on his feet in a minute and headed for his comrade. The latter saw him coming; there was a shout ot greeting and they were in each other's arms, their eyes watered with tears. And that rebel yell. In song and glory ot the South and wherever the proud re cord of the meg "in gray has been borne by the historian and the traveler that yell is known. It has never been described aud it never will be. It remains the most unique aud effective vogal demonstration that this country has yet produced. Fre quenters of Democratic conventions know something of it, but if they want the real irticle, let them go toareunion onenine. "li. & O. Surgeons Meet. Atlantic City. N. J., June 2, 1900. Mr. Geo.

Bftantho _>yThe Kind Ym Haw Always Bflgtrt of A short time ago Master Terrill Porter field, son of Deputy Sheriff* George Porterfield, was riding a colt. The colt was minus a saddle and Terrill was plus a pair of spurs. The colt bucked and Terrill clamped with his heels. This might have done on a shaving horse but it did not act well on a horse colt. The evolutions of that colt would have discredit ed a contortionist and the sequel was that Terrill got a fall from which he was uncon scious for some hours. It is very gratifying, however, that no very serious Injury was a result, and that our young friend is now all right. By reason of the accident, however, he was not able to take his examinations in i lie Graded School until Wednesday last, when he was examined by Mr. Denny and passed with distinction in every branch. We congratulate him all around.?Advocate. .m NOTICE the ?-> Improvements \^\NBSiovy;. ? ;AT ? F"-.' 'At. ;tUS'|k - '?'?v5i,!K,.< -? aiu'ts f ^Fu'u THE BOYS' PROTECTOR.
