Irontcm, Ohio, is the favorite
resort of eloping couples from
the lower portion of West Vir
ginia. Four couples repaired to
that place one day last week and
had the nuptial knot tied, and all
had eloped.
Walker Carder, a prominent
young man of Charleston, wao

Mrs. Emma Ware, a young
widow of Beverly, whose hus
band has been dead two years, is
in jail charged .with infanticide.
It is alleged that a week ago she
threw her newly born infant from
a second story window into a pen
of a half dozen pigs. The ctula
was completely devoured.
There is an incident connected
with the death of brakeman
Chas. Reese that makes his un
timely demise all the more
pathetic. Mr. Reese had before
he met with the accident that re
sulted so fatally to him made all
arrangements for marrying
Miss Willard, of Fetterman and
it was to occur this week. Miss
Willard is, very naturally, grief
stricken over the sad event. The
deceased was 25 years old, very
popular and known over the
whole road.?Grafton SmHMl.
Richard, the sixteen-year old
son of Hon.S.B. Elkins accidently
shot and seriously wounded Dan
Currence Friday evening about
2 o'clock, 5 miles above the club
house of the Cheat Mountain
Sportsman Association. Young
Elkins had sent Currence into
some beech brush, about sixty
yards away to scare out a deer,
which was supposed to be there,
in order that he (Elkins) might
at it. < lurrence in go
ing Sound shook some bushes
near a tree : Elkins mistook him
for the deer and fired the ball,
which was a 44 caliber, struck
Currence in the back, one inch
to the right of the spinal column
near the last true rib and passing
upward lodged about four inches
below the right niple. Dr. Perry
Bosworth who was immediately
summoned, extracted the ball,
and dressed the wound. Hopes
are entertained for his recovery.

I CHjLSGE is the electiox law.
The Acts of 1893. (pp. 69 74)
wake important changes in the
general election law of West Vir
ginia as contained in the Code of
J891. The sections so amended
are 5, 6,16, 34,08. 8&. 91 and 99,
of chapter 8, Code 011891. These
changes provide :
1. That the county court di
vide magisterial districts of each
county into election precincts.
There will be at least one voting
place in each magisterial district
and but one in each precinct at
the place most convenient lor the
votes thereof. Kach magisterial
district is to be divided into pre
cincts so that there shall be as
nearly as possible 200 voters, and
not over 250 voters, in each pre
cinct, according to the last elec
tion for president of the United
States. The county court may
change the boundaries of any
precinct, or divide a precinct 1l
to two or more, or consolidate
two or more precincts, but not so
as to be made within IfO days next
preceeding an election, and not
until notice tnereof is given as
provided in amended section t! ;
and notice of any such change
after it is made, ipustbe publish
ed in two newspapers, etc. All
such proceedings, "including the
boundaries of election precincts,
must be entered in the records
of the "Election Precinct Re
cord." to be kept by the clerk of
the circuit court, and open to the
inspection of any citizen of the
county.
2. That every voter must vote
in the election precinct of which
be is a resident on the day of the
election. He must have been a
resiflant of the State for one year
and of the couuty for 60 days,
next preceding an election.
(Amended Section 16.)
3. Amended section 34 pro
vides how the ballots are to be
printed and prepared for voting,
and it forbids the name of a candi -
date for any office to be printed
in the same column with that of
another candidate for the same
office who was nominated by a
convention or primary election.
It also provides that a half inch
space shall be left between the
names of the candidates for presi
dential electors, as well as be
tween the names of all other
candidates.
Under this section a voter may,
in erasing the ballots other than
the one he wishes to vote, use a
pen and ink, or an indelible
pencil.
'4. It is not necessary to notice
the slight amendments to section
providing how the vote is to
be counted, and the result there
of proclaimed: nor as to munici
pal elections, in amended section
85. Amended section 89, provid
ing for mandamus to compel per
formance of duty, is not of inter
est to the general reader.
5. Amended section 91 and 99
provide that each assessor shall
list each voter In the election pre
cinct in which the voter resides ;
and that the clerk of the county
court shall certify one copy of
the list of the voters in each
election precinct to the commis
sioners of election of that pre
cinct
It is therefore, important
THAT EVERY VOTER BE LISTED
IN THE ELECTION PRECINCT IN
WHICH HE RESIDES. If, arter
being listed in one precinct, he
moves into another precinct be
fore the election, the voter should
be listed in his new precinct
wherein he expects to offer to
vote.
It is also very* important that
each voter be acquianted with
the boundaries of his precinct,
and each assessor ought to carry
with him a copy of the order of
the county court establishing
the boundaries of all precincts
in bis assessment precinct.
The CounlT Taper.
The man Is too poor to take
his country newspaper, says an
exchange, and it is false economy
to get along without it.
Hardly a week passes that
something does not appear in its
columns that will be a financial
benefit to the subscriber, and by
the end of the year he has made
or saved from one to twenty times
its subscription price.
The city papers do not take
the place of county papers, al
though some people seem to
think they do. The city papers
are all right in their way, but
they don't give you what you
are most interested in?your
county news.
You cannot learm from them
when and where public meetings
are to be held, who are moving
in and who are moving out. court
proceedings, who wants to sell
land?in fact, hundreds of items
which might be of particular im
portance for you to know.
Such matter city papers can
not furnish, but thecounty news
paper can and does. If you can
afford but one paper, by all means
take one that is published in the
county in which you live.

We, the women of theIchrls
tian Temperance Union of the
Third District wish to begin our
column with an expression of
sincere thanks to the editor of
the Telegram for sp kindly
granting us the privilege of edit
ing a column In his paper.-|jj|
We propose to devote the col
umn wholly to the interest of the
temperance cause and shall pre
sent only such paragraphs as we
candidly and prayerfully believe
to pertain such interest. We
solicit the attention of the pat
rons of the Telegram to what
we shall have to say. It is given
freely, and we hope it may sink
deep into good and honest hearts.
The largest and most active of
the non secret temperance or
ganizations of the United States
is the Woman's Christian Temp
erance Union. It sprang from
the Ohio Woman's Crusade of
1S73 and was organized at Cleve
land, November 17,1874. So
earnest and devoted have been
the efforts of temperance women
that Unions have been organized
in every State and territory: The
success of the work in the Unit
ed States gave rise to the organi
zation known as The World's W.
C. T. L. in 1883. So in foreign
countries as well as our own the
women are organized and doing
valiant work against king alco
hol.
The object of these Unions is
to unite the efforts of Christian
women for the extinction of in
temperance and is expressed in
the following resolution :
Resolved ; That whereas, the
object of just government is to
conserve the best interests oTtK
governed; and whereas, the liquor
traffic is not only a crime against
God, but subsersive of every in
terest of society; therefore, in
humanity, we call Tor legislation
as shall secure this end, and
while we continue to employ all
moral iigencies as indispensable,
we hold prohibition to be essen
tial to the full triumph of this
reform."
The pledge of the Union reads
thus : -I hereby solemnly
promise, God helping me to ab
stain from all distilled, ferment
ed aud malt liquors, including
wine, beer and cider, and employ
all proper means to discourage
the use of and traffic in the same "
Each member wears as a badge
a bow of white ribbon which
means purity, consecration, help
fulness and loyalty. Th.e motto
is, "'For God and Home and every
Land."
1 he remarkable success of the
union is due in a great measure
to the plan of work. All work
is carried on through depart
ments, each of which is in charge
of a responsible and energetic
woman. The classification of
departments is as follows :
Organization?NationalOrgani
