Congressman J. H. Hen nett,

Hon John. J. Cornwell says he

and good judgment.
United States Senator Jeff
Dams was fined twenty-five dollars
in the police court at Little Rock,
Ark., the other day. The tine was
the result ot a fight ha had with
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Helm.
Jeff is no credit to the State he rep
resents.
“The question is not whether the
Republicans will carry Ohio. The
question is only how large the Re
publican majority will be.” This
is the reply made by Representative
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio to
statements about political condi
tions in the Buckeye State, put in
circulation recently.
I he House ot Representatives
passed the Sterling Employers’
Liability bill one day last week by
a vote of 300 to 1. LittleHeld, of
Maine, cast the negative vote.
The member from Maine must
have felt awfully lonesome. The
bill named has also passed the Sen

The Nebraska delegation in the
Populist National Convention with
drew because Mr. Bryan’s policy of
delay in making the nominations was
voted down. It is clear that Bryan
was ready to dicker and that the Ne

him to negotiate for fusion. Old

in such company.—Globe Democrat.
The appointment of John S
Leech to the office of Public Prin
ter is one that will receive the ap
proval of all who are familiar with
the requirements of that office and
with the career of Mr Leech.
Until his promotion, Mr. Leech
was chief of the bureau of public
printing in the Philippines, having
been promoted to that position in
May, 11101, from the Government
Printing Office, where he was
serving as foreman of a division.
His services in the Philippines
were eminently satisfactory es
pecially so because he showed a pe
culiar capacity for producing credi
table results with Filipino printers.
It is a known fact that there are
more beautiful voices in America
than any other country in the world,
says Ellen Beach Yaw in the May
Delineator. There is scarcely an
American girl now wh© does not
•ing a little. I heir voices are ex
ceptionally clear and strong.
There is no girl in the world who
can learn to sing with so little
trouble as the American girl. JShe
is born with a voice. There are
certain qualities in her voice which
resemble the clearness of the
American atmosphere. Our girls
have not yet come to the realization
of what they possess. rl hey do not
folly appreciate the great gift which
God has given them. They have
within themselves a power of ex
pression that would surprise even
themselves if they paused to listen
to their divine gift and gave it an
opportunity of development. j

The New Doq Law.
The dog law as finally passed by the
special session of the Legislature is giv
en below. The old law, which permits
the owner of sheep killed to recover the
value from the owner of the dog re
mains, with the further provision that
if the sheep owner elects to take his pay
from the county the county court may
recover from the owner of the dog.
Any person who harbors a sheep kill
ing dog is liable to a line of from $lo to
$5o.
The owner of such a dog is required to
kill it within 48 hours after receiving
notice from a reliable source. If he re
fuses he may be summoned before a
justice and if it be proven that his dog
is guilty a constable shall be appointed
to kill the dog and the costs of the pro
ceeding shall be paid by the owner
Any person may list on the assessor’s
book bis dog as a personal property and
any dog so listed shall be deemed per
sonal property and auv person killing
such dog so listed shall be subjected to
same penalties as destroying other per
sonal property and the owner thereof
may recover from such person damuges
not to exceed the amount for which such
dog is assessed.
The county court is required to levy a
capitation tax on all male dogs at the
rate of 5o cents per head, females fl.oo
per head. The tax goes into a fund to
remunerate sheep owners for the loss of
sheep and when this fund shall exceed
one-half the amount so paid out for the
preceding year the excess shall go into
the general school fund
If any owner fail or refuse to pay this
capitation dog tax the constable is re
quired to levy on sufficient property, in
cluding the dog, to pay same and if un
able to sell the dog he is required to kill
it.
1 his law is effective in all the counties
but upon petition of ten per cent of the
voters of a county the county court shall
submit the question of voting it at auv
general or school election.

The Secretary of State and the
British Ambassador have signed
the general arbitration treaty with
Great Britain, thus taking the
second step in the programme, the
ultimate end of which is the sub
mission to the Hague Tribunal of
the Newfoundland fisheries con
troversy. There are many indica
tions, however, that the negotia
tions between the United States
and Great Britain, so far as they re
late to the disposition of power
from Niagara Falls and related
questions, have reached a deadlock
which all the tact and diplomatic
ability of Secretary Root and Am
bassador Bryce will be unable to
break. 1 be Canadians insist upon
referring these troublesome ques
tions to a commission clothed with
plenary powers and of course such
an arrangement would preclude any
possibility of an agreement by the
l nited States. Apparently the
Canadian authorities wish to sup
plaut the treaty-making power of
the British I* oreign Office with a
mixed commission, not dissimilar
in character to the former Joint
High Commission.
1 hat the House of Representa
fives consented to increase the ap
propriation for the Forest Service,
contained in the agricultural ap
propriation bill, over the amount
allotted to that service for the pre
ceding year, demonstrates an in
creasing appreciali >n of the value
of scientific forestry. Of the
$3,796,200 appropriated for this
bureau, it is estimated that $2,000,
0J0 w ill he realized in sales of tim
ber and rentals, and the expecta
tion is that, in course of time, the
Forest Service will be wholly self
supporting. The prevention of
fire* which before the establish
ment of the forest patrol often
caused a Ion* of $5,000,000 which
loss during the past year has been
reduced to $6,000, has alone more
thin paid for the entire costof this
bureau of the Federal government.
A I'K.r.K'.a i ion of young and
progressive Sioux Iodians from
the reservations were recently
presented to the President
by Commissioner Leupp, of the
Indian Bureau. These Indians,
many of whom are well-to-do '
through their own energies, were
in Washington to urge the opening
of at least half of the two reserva.
tions which they represented to
settlement and the allotment of
lands to them. If the bills pro
viding for opening should go
through Congress, about 3,200,000
acres would he put upon the mar.

An Erring Brother.
Tbe swift descent of Win. H.
Sawyers from editor to police
judge is only another warning to
the profession that we must daily
watch and pray lest we enter into
temptation. Heaven only knows,
perhaps, tbe struggles of this un>
happy man ere be quitted his
high stat;on, where life was one
grand sweet song of gladness and
the music of tbe press an unraix
ed hallelujah, and sank to the level
ot the tinoan growler, the Code of
West Virginia and the daily asso
ciation of the Hinton bar. Feel
ing this, we do not undertake to
censure our erring brother. He
was tempted and he fell. From
handing out choice bits of Demo
cratic insanity through the colnmns
of the Herald he has dropped to
dishing oat two dollar fines on
plain drunks and ordering honest
hoboes to tbe city stonepile.
Thus the sharpest contrasts of
life are thrust into our gaze, ami
we cannot but notice them.
Vet however sad to have cogni
zance of the fall of a gifted broth
er it is st»11 more sorrowful to look
upon him in his low estate, sur
rounded by redheaded bailiffs and
the mute but terrorizing pharapher
nulia of a modern Went Virgiuia
jawshop, and we can only firmly re
solve, and ask our brother editors
to join in the resolution, that never
while Judge Sawyers presides, will
we enter the Hinton police court
unless forcibly impelled by one or
two of those myrmidons of the law
known as policemen.— West Vir

Virginia Debt Case Squabble.
Attorney General Clarke W. May
left for Washington last night in
connection with the Virginia debt
cane pending m the United States
Supreme Court. A dispatch from
Washington states that the attor

the difference of opinion Major
Holmes Conrad, of Winchester.
Virginia, one of the able lawyers
employed to make the fight against
the State of West Virginia, has
temporarily withdrawn from the

If Congress is successful in passing
some legislation, this session, which
will enable business men to proceed
without violating the law, it will
have worked wisely and well.
The comments on the “Hellin
incident” by various Southern jour
nals are not wanting in significance.
I hese journals are unanimous in
the verdict that Mr. Heflin has
neither added lustre to his own '

South by attempting to police the
national capital.”
And now we are informed that a
syndicate is being incorporated to

the incorporators claiming that the
earth is hollow and open at the poles.
It is not altogether possible that
the hollowness is confined to these

SEE. Thfc CLANSMAN!
Greatest ot Historical Dramas Re
turns lor Farewell Engagement.
If you are * lover of good plays, do
not fail to go to see “The Clansman”
played on its farewell engagement at the
Huntington Theatre, Huntington, W.
Va., on Tuesday, April 31. Of all the
many offerings at this theatre this is un
doubtedly the greatest and grandest of
the whole season. Crowded audiences
aud enormous enthusiasm have marked
the progress of “The Clansman” every
where.
“The Clansman” sets in fierce white
light the exact truth about the doings of
the Ku Klux Klan and the Reconstruc
tion period struggle of forty years ago.
It opened the eyes of both the North and
South. It showed that what the South
ern people really did was to save white
civilization from barbarism and anarchy;
that the South would have been welter
ing in negroid mongelism but for the
heroic work of the Ku Klux Klan.
Aside from its political features, “The
Clansman” is a most beautiful and
thrilling drama. The ladies enjoy it as
much as or even more t ban the men be
cause of its engrossing love story. The
hero of the play is a South Carolinian
and a Ku Klux Klan leader. He falls in
love with the pretty daughter of a North
ern mau who has come South to organ
ize the so-called Black League. Ben
Cameron courts the daughter and firmly
opposes every move of the father. In
I the end he wiua the girl’s hand aud
saves them both from the clutches of the
Mulatto Lieutenant Governor of the
I State. __ l rider Ben’s leadership the Ku
Klux Klan drive the carpetbaggers and
bad negroes out of the State and restore
: the old regime.
Thrills, tears and laughter are won
d* i fully commingled in this master play.
The darkey comedy is rich, and the
loves ot l nclo Nulse and Aunt Eve and
tli* thieving propensities aud gullibility
j ol Aleck, the negro High Sheriff of the
( county, convulse the audience.
A word should be said about the ap
pearance of the Ku Klux Klan in this
plav. Every detail is historically ac
curate. '1 he ghostly costumes, wierd
ritual and white rolled steeds of the or
der are reproduced exactly as they were
in the year 1*67. The Ku Klux Klan
cavalry dash across the stage with start
ling realism. The High Court of the
Klan sentences a self-coufessed criminal
to death. Those who attend the play
at Huntington the 21st will see the
original company of forty people direct
from New York City, and a splendid
new production with magnificent scen
ery, costumes and electrical effects. Pa
trons ore advised to send in their orders
for seats, accompanied by remittance, to
Manager Joseph Gainer, Huntington
Theatre, Huntington, W. Va., and tick
ets of the kind desired will Ik* promptly
forwarded. The prices of seats are 75c,

the making of a spring dress when you
can come to our store, see hundreds
of dresses, already made, try them on

what you want and get it cheaper than
you can buy the goods and make it?

Quality and Quantity.
We Have Both in Furniture.
If all furniture was alike
it wouldn’t matter where you
bought it. But it is not all
alike. There ia as much dif
ference in the make of furni
ture as there is in the people
who use it.
Our furniture is not only
strong, durable and well
made—it is properly design
ed. 1 he hand of the artist
is plainly manifest in these
modern furniture produc
tions.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea
to come aud see how “differ
ent” this stock is from oth
ers—in fact it would do your
eyes good, and at the same
time make a great saving to
your purse. We are satisfied
to have yon look any time.
Always keep in mind the
fact that we have furniture—
the best quality, largest
quantity, at the lowest pos
sible price.
Call and be convinced.
