The pernicious and criminal
practice of hazing at schools has
been sadly exemplified in the
case of young Charlie Butler, of
Shepherdstown, a son of Dr. C.
P. Butler. He sent his son, who
was the darling of his parents,
to the Episcopal High School
near Alexandria, Va., where he
received such rough and brutal
treatment at the hands of his
fellow students that paralysis
was the consequence. The youth
had to be taken home, and it is
feared that he is a hopeless
cripple.
Judge Maxwell was one of the
men who helped make history for
West Virginia and he always
said she would return to the Re
publican colymn.
T. L. Wright, Esq.,.is one of
the happiest of those who aided
the Republican cause. Tom has
always been a loyal party worker
and an avowed enemy to free
trade.

The Atlanta Constitution, has
long been regarded as the ablest |
Democratic newspaper in the | wa
South. It comes out fearlessly
and aenounces President Cleve

soon as the Associated Press in
timated that Attorney General
Olney was about to resign the
Constitution said: .^j
Why not resign, then, at once?
Nobody is urging Mr. Olney to
hold on. and hosts of Democrats
think that it -would have been a
blessing if he had resigned with
in forty-eight hours after he was
sworn in as attorney general.
This would be one way of serv- 0j>,

their gratitude.

Minn-*' Strike Tr??te?fd.
The coal operators of the Pitts
burg district have made a de
mand upon the United Mine
Workers of America for a re
duction in the rates in that dis
trict. and in anticipation of a re
fusal to grant it, aie getting their
forces in order for a fight. The
national effect of a reduction in
Pennsylvania would be a corres
ponding reduction in West Vir
ginia. Indiana and other States,
and in view of this fact it is un
derstood that the U. M. W. of A.
officials are also preparing for
another fight against the opera
tors this winter.
During the last coal strike,
most of the West Virginia miners
remained at work. It is said
that officials of the union in this
State, have been requested by
the National officers to ascertain
how many miners would probably
go out in the event of a strike.
It is understood that the officials
think they made a mistake by
striking during the summer, and
that they are of the opinion that
a strike during the winter months
would result differently. A large
number of the non-union miners
in West Virginia have been or
ganized during the past few
months, but whether or not they
would join in a general strike, is
for conjecture.

one of his arms was tatooed and
that he was six feet in length.
Mr- Kemple is a native of West

published his obituary, saying
"none knew him but to love him'*
and regretting his untimel v tak

The description of the drowned
