Frank Mines, who resides about
three miles from this place, on the
w. Va. side, employs several hands
about and around his place and steam
saw MILL, many of whom board at
his house. For some time past a few
of the boarders complained of having
small sums of money stolen from
their pockets. G. B. Cressler, the
foreman of the works, one morning
on leaving his room forgot his pocket
book. but came back in a short time
for it and found it where he had left
it, and on examining the contents he
found that there was five dollars
missing; he then went down to break
fast and inquired if there was any
person in his room, stating that he
had money stolen from his pocket
book. He was told there was no one
in his room but his regular ROOM
mate, man by the name of Logan
whereupon Cressler remarked that
that did not reflect very creditably on
his part. From that time on Logan
was regarded with suspicion and dis
trust, which created a feeling of in.
tense hatred in his heart toward Cress-
Ter. On last Tuesday evening when
the matter was again preached and
talked over, Logan became very
much excited, and in conversation
uttered several threats against Cress-
Ter, so severe that the elder Mr.. Mines
advised G. not to room with him that
night, but sleep down stairs with his
son Frank, which advice he wisely
took. About midnight g. was awak-
ened from his slumbers by a noise
Of some one stealthily coming down
stairs. He aroused Frank N. who
jumped out of bed and succeeded in
lighting lamp in time to see Logan
retreating up stairs, In the morning
at breakfast Cressler asked Logan
how he slept last night? Logan an
swered by saying that he "slept like
one in HE'LL" and that it was "a DIN
good thing that he didn't have the

The Proper Position for Sleeping

A German, Baron Reichenback, has
occupied many years in studying the
act of bed-making, or rather bed
placing, and maintains that improp-
erly placed beds will shorten mans
life,
If a mere magnet exercises an in
fuence on sensitive persons, the
earth's magnetism must certainly
make itself felt in the nervous life
Of man. In whatever hemisphere,
you may always sleep with your feet
to the equator, and let your body lie
"true as needle to the POLE"
The proper direction of the body
is of the utmost importance for the
proper circulation of the blood, and
many disturbances in the organisms
have been cured by simply placing
the bolster in different point of the
compass from that it had occupied.
Let such as have hitherto been in the
habit of sleeping with their heads
where their feet ought to be take to
heart the example of the late DIR.
Elschwester, of Madgeburg, who died
recently at the age of 100 years.
The most unhealthy position, we
are told, is when the body lies due

sure us that to sleep in such a posture
is tantamount to committing suicide,
and that diseases are often aggravated
by deviations from the proper pos

Sanitarium for Railroad Men.

Arrangements will soon be perfect

and Ohio Relief Association to erect
a sanitarium for the sick, aged and
disabled employees of the company.
The institution will be located at
some favorable point on the plateau

not very great distance from the
Deer Park and Oakland Hotels, In
the present system special arrange
ments are had with hospitals in Chi
cago, Columbus, Pittsburg, Wheel
ing, Washington and Baltimore, so
that in case of disability or accident
the person is sent to the infirmary of
one of these cities. A great want
has been felt, however, for an insti-
tuition which should occupy central
healthy position, and be managed en-
tirely by the company, so that it
would not only be more economical,
but more satisfactory as well. DIR.

there would be a dead man in the

apprehensive for the safety of his life
and armed himself with good sized
dirk knife, then started out to his
work and saw Logan coming out of
a stable with an axe on his shoulder.
He walked up to him and inquired
good naturally ifhe intended to carry
out his threats. Logan replied with
IN oath, yes. and l will kill you now,
then rushed upon him, aimed dead
~ blow at his head, and were it not
for C.'s agility he would have been

L., grasped hold of the axe handle to
prevent a second blow, then drew his
dirk knife and cut one severe cash in
his antagonists arm, and another,
which abruptly put an end to the
ARRAY, struck in just above the hip
bone, running obliquely until retard-
ed in its motion by the point of the
blade striking the back bone. Logan
then let go all holds, fell on the
ground and cried out "for Gods sake,
Cressler, spare my life." G. replied
81 will, and if l have already killed
you may God have mercy on your
soul, for you have brought all this on
yourself" G. then got up and started
with all speed for the doctor. DR..
Durham came in haste, examined
the wounds and found that no serious
injury was sustained, that the wounds
were only flesh deep. The authorities
not being notified no action was taken
in the matter. After Logan got over
his scare he was very anxious to effect
compromise with c., which, how
ever, he did not succeed in doing
until he first wrote down and signed
his name to the threats he had made
against G. prior to the conflict. Lo-
gan started for his home last Satur-
day, and was accompanied to this

bill and gave him as much money as
would safely pay his way home,

OF the season passed over this place, accom-
panied by an unusual amount of lightning.
The Church street scho)lhouse was struck
and badly shattered. Fortunately this hap
pened during the noon hour and but per-
ton of the school children were in the house,
but OF the ten or twelve who were there all
were more or less injured. /. w. McNichols's
little girl was near where the main current
came down the chimney and was so seriously
hurt that she did not regain consciousness for
some time and is now quite deaf. George
Nasseur had the sole taken off from
one shoe, and the other shoe had
the upper torn from the sole. All
the inmates of the room were knocked
down and some were cut by flying
spinters, and plastering from the ceiling and
walls. II was the last day of the term of
very successful school, taught by Miss Emma
Putnam OF Cambridge, and all are reiolced
that their children are yet alive. II seems II

be accounted for by the strange freaks of the
