A GnHel Idea

Mr. George J. Mathisen, the leading hat
ter, has hit upon a novel idea for increas-
ing the sales of his large stock OF hats and
caps. Commencing this morning and con-
tinuing till the 1st of July, he will give
away every thiriieth hat. A list contain
ing the names OF all who purchase hats will
be kept by him, and after Twenty-Five hats
have been sold, the thirtIeth customer will
be given one free. Mr.. Mathison has made
large purchases OF hats, and is determined
10 carry none over if low prices will sell
them. Call and see the bargains he is Of.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

Michael Lane, charged with the murder
of John Mclaughlin, was admitted TO bail,
yesterday, in the sum Of $500.
In the case of State VS. Harry Freeze,
Clarence Johnson and Edwin Zane. De-
murrer overruled, plea OF not guilty and
severance granted.
The boy burglars, Clarence Johnson, FL.
Zane, alias John StratOn, and Ha rry
Freese, were in court before his Honor
Judge Jacob yesterday morn ing, for the
purpose of setting their cases for trial, or
admission to bail; but because OF the uu.
Willingness of counsel for defendants to
act the cases went over until this morn
ing, when they will be disposed of some
way. Young Freese will likely be admit
ted 10 bail. His grandfather, it is said,
will be his bondsman, and consequently
will be continued until next term. What
disposition will be made of the Zane and
johnson cases it is hard to conjecture
now.
The John Wilson misdemeanor case is
set for to-day in Part 3.

IMPORTANT DECISION
In n City Case-General Court and
Criminal Notes.

The case of the city of VII ceiling against
George Ankle, an appeal from the police
court, occupied the attention of the Cir
cult Court, yesterday. Ankle was brought
before the police court and fined 81 for
negleCtiug to obtain a permit to dump
stone on the public street. He requested
the fine to be made SO to admit of appeal,
which he accordingly took and the jury
yesterday brought IN verdict in his favor.
Arkle was a sub-cOntractOr under Jerry
o. brien, to whom a permit was granted.
But the city claimed and the court ruled,
that this permit does not include subcon.
tractors. The Secretary OF the Board once
gave discretionary powers in a case OF this
kind, which was brought up and induced
the Jury to find for the defend 1T How
ever, the point still remains. ; Io.contrsc-
tors are Liable unless they take out per-
mits aud they will do well to remember it.

A second Safe Effort.

Some one either has a spite against the
Elm Grove railway, or else believes it fairly
coins money. Some time ago an effort was
made to rob the office safe and it was re-
peated during the dark hours of yesterday
morning. 1t occurred about three o'clock,
the burglars entering side window. The
inside of the safe was blown on. About
$40 or $l2 in small change was taken and
few car tickets were secured by the thieves.
The noise of the explosion was heard by
Janitor Volz at the Capitol, aud he, think
ing it was in that building, made tour Of

WEALTH OF WOOD.
The Census Report OF the West Virginia
Forests,

tOreStS.
West Virginia has boundless wealth other
than in her vast mineral deposits. The
recent census devotes considerable space
TO our forests and contains much Of
interest. From the reports it appears that
the forests of West Virginia, with the eX'
ception OF the belts Of pine and spruce, are
confined to the higher ridges of theAllegheny
mountains, and are prin cipally composed
OF broad leaved trees, the most important
ofwhich are the white and chestnut oaks,
the back walnut, the yellow poplar,
and the cherry. The forests haye
been largely, removed from the
counties bordering on, the ONO
river, and the most valuable timber
along the principal streams, especially the
black walnut, cherry and yellow poplar,
has been culled in nearly every part OF the
State. The black walnut found scattered
everywhere in West Virginia is least plenty
in the northwestern and Ohio river coun-
ties, and most abundant along the upper
waters of the rivers flowing into the Ohio
through the southwestern part OF
the State. Yellow poplar is found
throughout the State and still
abundant throughout the head waters
of nearly all the principal streams. Large
bodies of cherry are found in Greenbrler,
NlCnOlaS, wooster anu Quiet COuutlco lh-
medi ately west of the mountains. large
amount Of hemlock is scattered through
the valleys and ravines of the northwest.
ern part of the State, and along the western
slopes of the Alleghenies. The area still oc:
cupied by the white pine is estimated
to extend over three hundred and ten
square miles, and contains about 900
100000 feet Of merchantable lumber.
The principal centers of the lumber manu-
facture are along the Kanawha river, Ron
cevorte Greenbrier county, at Petersburg,
and along the upper Potomac. The lumber
product of the State for the census year
was $50, 1921 900 feet of lumber; 1901 900
laths; 3605, 900 shingles, 4l.933, 900 slaves
and 1852, 900 sets of headings, valued at

Ir is of some little interest to note
that the vote in Ohio was not the larg-
est ever cast, as many have said. The
total vote. as finally announced by the
Cincinnati newspapers. nearly week
after the election, is III ,69l. This is
5000 below the vote on Secretary of
State in 1880, and 10, 900 below the vote
ON President in that year, Some of the
papers there are discussing n question
which must have occurred to any one
reading the latter returns-whether the
majority against the Prohibition amend
ment was correctly stated at 10000. or
whether it should have been $4,000. To
be adopted the amendment must receive
