We must I and will make our paper useful to our patrons. The first place we will look carefully after the news columns and editorial oaoe, so that the people will want to read all of the West Virginian every day. In the second ?:;/. place we will, give our advertisers every consideration with business principles. We are sending out hundreds of sample copies every day, thus reaching people who are not now reading a daily paper. The West Virginian will reach many country homes. Already a number of people on the Rural Routes have asked to be put on our mailing list. We will have correspondents from most of the leading centers in the county, and will always welcome newsy letters from any part of the country. Vou stand by us and we will stand by you, and thus we can j work together for -the profit of both parties. Advertisers are kindly requested to hand in copy the day before they desire a change made. It is better for us, and insures a nicer display. The fate of Ira Kinnan ought to bear its message to young men as to the folly of taking chances with anything where their lives are at stake. Even jumping from a street car when it is running at full speed is dangerous, "but we never seem to think of it until the report comes that some one is hurt. Life is too precious to be foolishly snuffed out by carelessness. The Times a few days ago fired an oia rusty ioau out 01 us Lonsressicin.n shot pouch at Capt. Povener. From the report, it must have been an old cartridge left over from two years ago. Wonder it the editor of the Times would lilce to tackle the Captain again this year? We bav no objections. The conservative editor will enjoy - his exchanges very much more when the Dawson-Teter fiasco is over. We always iilte to read the thoughts of our brethren when they have been it. contemplating upon the shortcomings of the common enemy, but to read half of the fulminations of the factional organs would give a fellow chilblains, Vijjl ague and inflamatory rheumatism. -Brethren, for pity's sake, do let up on this double column, back-action, sclf||l||||ilestructive. Republican - destroying, miscellaneous shooting at Dawsqn and k Teter. It is not at all elevating, but ft to be perfectly frank, it Is disgusting. TKE STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. We hope the members of the State Medical Association will enjoy their .short Stay at Fairmont. We know this little outing is much appreciated by them. Here they are out of reach of the sound of the midnight ringing of their door-bells, and the telephone calls at-the home office will have to be answered by the good wue, or oince boy, with "The doctor is not at home."

He told the man of learnhe ing that he wanted him to get up a te complete genealogy and to get it tip in he style. About three weeks after that Ie the Frenchman came to the Senator, wringing his hands and exhibiting a countenance that gave signs of imdoubted and severe mental distress. 44Well, what's the matter?" exclairuJe od the Senator, in his bluff, hearty >t- way: "have you finished the job?" he "Ob, no; Monsieur," he cried, in broken t?\ er.ch. "I have si.?i \vh:u Lm /.q Americans call ze snag." "Well," exclaimed the Senator 5 be cheerfully, "I have struck a good 0j_ many snags in my time, but they $ ire never got the best of mo.

But the lady's character was iestored and the polite Frenchman is still en 1 4jp manufacturing fireproof coats of arms. lie ?Exchange. ;or xul MACEDONIAN CRY TO BRYAN. I,e Telegrams -and letters have been Iui sent to W. J. Bryan from the Hearst as section of the Indiana Democracy begging him to come over and help it in ;he 1 the hours of its distress. The State ht convention meets Thursday and the preliminary count develops a Parker i- i domination by 2 to 1, and while the ed I Iowa success has flushed the Hearst >Ie j victors it has made the Indiana ma>n" jority run up the black flag. 'I he prologue ought to develop a thrilling . drama to be enacted at Indianapolis. f\-> a Pnrl;Pf rnr?v"r? rjy ment requires his preponderance in jig the four States whose capture in No- g in- vember is indispensable to the substini tution of a Democratic Administratis tion?New York. New Jersey, Indiana an and Connecticut. This chain is no ^ stronger than its weakest link. If j Indiana can be swerved the whole 1 I Parker fabric falls like a house of ne cards. Ordinarily the melodramatic | possibilities would appeal to the orator q ng i and he would hasten to the stage to he | exhibit the cross of gold and cause a 1?. j stampede. But he does not respond. ! Perhaps he is striving to be consist- = m" ! ent with his liired-ball speech in conlt* ' centrating his devotion to principles and not candidates, except by way of : letter writing. And then he may be he ! planning to make his grand entry in- c ni- i to the arena more spectacular by pretce venting all advance advertising.
