HATS AND CAPS.

We are prepared as never before
with all the newest styles and nov
elites in both stiff and soft Hats.
Our stock is wonderful in its
extent, its variety and its
beauty, but as attractive as it is
for these reasons, it is more so on
account of the insignificant prices
which we put on them. We sell
mems good wool Hats at IS cents
and all others proportionately low.
We also carry complete line of
trunks, valises, umbrellas and
rubber goods.

THOUSANDS OF PANTS.

A very big quantity it is true
but not single pair too many if
our expectations of selling are
realized. There is every reason
why we should dispose of them
very easily. The goods are the
best and the prices are the lowest.
This we guarantee and as is well
known our guarantee means some
thing-not nothing. The prices
range from 50 cents to IS and in
the enormous quantity we have in
stock every pattern, style and
quality. No one can possibly ex-
pect the pants we sell at 50 cents
to be Of such value as higher priced
goods.

AN Ex-DEpUTY COLLECTOR IN
TRouBLE.-Deputy Marshal P. p.
Springston arrested Mr.. John T..
Latham, late Deputy Revenue Col
leetor, at his home in Palatine, this
county, on Monday evening last, and
took him to Clarksburg to answer
certain indictments found against
him by the Federal Grand Jury at
Clarksburg. He is charged with APP
propriating government money to
his own use. The amount alleged
to have been so taken is small-less
than 5000. Mr.. Latham claims that
the money was properly paid in by
him, but not credited, and his friends
are confident he can prove his inno-
cence. Mr.. Latham held the office
of Deputy Collector under Collectors
Duvall, Pierpoint and Mccormick,
and during the ten years of his ser
vice was always regarded as most
efficient and reliable officer. He has
the confidence and high esteem of
all who know him, and until his
guilt is proven he should be regarded
as innocent and entitled to public
consideration. His family have our
warmest sympathy.-Fatrmon In

GONE W1TH 81, 500-Patrick Long
and Joseph Fucci, the latter an Ital-
ian had a contract for building a
portion of the Kingwood and Tun-
Melton marrow gauge railroad, and on
Saturday of last week they collected
something like $500 for work done
by them. The money was paid by a
Mr.. Barrett, who is one of the con-
tractors for constructing the entire
road, to Long. The latter got on
train at Tunnelton to go to Grafton
for the ostensible purpose of getting
fractional currency with which to
pay off the Italian laborers employed
by him. Barrett and Fucci were
also ON the same train, but not in
the same car in which Long rode.
When Grafton was reached, Barrett
and Fucci failed to find Long, but
not doubling that everything was all
right, took it for granted that he
had alighted from the train on its
arrival and had gone to the bank.
Long, however, remained on the
train and came ON to this place, ar
irving here shortly after one o'clock
in the afternoon. He Immediately
hired livery team and drove down
to Rivesville, where he resides, re-
turning here about five o'clock the
same evening. Remaining here a
short time, he suddenly disappeared
without leaving any trace as to his
whereabouts. Messrs. Barrett and
Fucci arrived on No 2 Sunday morn
ing on the hunt of Long, but at the
present writing he has not been ap-
pretended. Long is reported to
have been drinking freely and while
here spent his money in lavish
manner.-IndeE.

FoUND DEAD.-Daniel Michael an
old and respected citizen Of Clay
district in this county left his home
on last Sunday morning apparently
in good health and was not seen af-
forwards until Monday when he was
found in a field dead. Mr.. Michael
on leaving his home stated to his
family that he would be absent only
a short length of time and as he did
not return they became uneasy about
him ON Sunday evening and insti-
tuted a search, which on Monday
morning resulted in the discovery Of
his body lying by stump in field
on a neighbours farm apparently hay
ing fallen off the stump backwards.
There were no evidences of violence
so far as we learned Mr.. Michael
was about 65 or 70 years of age,
highly respected and leaves widow
and several children to mourn his
death.

RAILROAD News AND NOTES.
Contractors Bennett & Talbot have
made good start on the grading of
the new street that runs parallel
with Front 1t will require three or
four weeks yet, however to finish the
work.
The foundation for the depot is
about completed and brick-laying
will commence at once. The brick
work is to be completed in fifteen
days.
Isaac Hite is furnishing the brick
for the depot building. A good ma
ny thousands of them are already on
the ground.
The grading of the new street has
entirely changed the phase of things
on the river front. One would now
scarcely recognize the place.
The Fairmont West Virqinian of
last Friday says: "Mr. Fletcher, of
the Iron City Bridge Company of
Pittsburgh, is in town, and he says
the several bridges for the F., M. q P.
have been constructed by his compa-
ny, and that they will be heIe to-day
or tomorrow, or certainly very early
next week. These bridges will be
placed in position at once"
Zone thing is now certain, and
that is that when this road is COM
pleted to Morgantown it will be as
safe and substantial as any other
road. 1t looked at first like many Of
the bridges would be temporary
structures and possibly unsafe"
Ten car loads of iron were received
at Fairmont on Saturday, and we
learn more has been arriving since
Track laying was resumed yesterday
and we are promised that no further
delays will be made except by bad
weather.
Major Whiting is authority for the
statement that the road will be open
ed by December 18th.

MURDER IN FAYETTE CoUNTY-GEo.
REYNOLDS AN ACCEssoRy.--On Satur-
day, Oct. 18th, at Leith, in Fayette
county, Pa, a company of Hungari-
ans were holding carnival over a
new born baby and keg of beer. A
company of quarrelsome negroes,
among whom were George and Dan
Reynolds, sons of ''Cider JIM Rey-
nolds, formerly of Morgantown, and
Robert Scott attempted to enter the
house of the Hungarians, and ham,
mered on the door. The Hungari-
ans came out with picks, but did not
make any attack, when Scott drew a
revolver and fired two shots. One
shot struck Michael Berrilla in the
head, killing him almost instantly.
The other shot inflicted slight
wound on the leg of woman in the
house. The negroes then fed. Geo
Reynolds, who made much of the
trouble by hammering on the door
was at once arrested Scott fec
through the mountains and escaped
for day or two, but was captured
at Cumberland, Md, and both Scott
and Reynolds are in jail at Union
town. Dan Reynolds and two Oh
three other negroes were arrested
but as there was not evidence sufi
cient for charging them with tn,
crime they were discharged. Thu
murder is cold blooded one ant
has caused considerable excitement
in the neighborhood.

Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1885-07-03

A scientist lecturing In Philadelphia
on coal, says it takes prodigious
amount of vegetable matter to form a
layer of coal: that it is estimated that
the present growth of the world would
make layer only one eighth of an
inch thick, and that it would take one
million years to form a coal bed 100
feet thick. The United States has an
area of 100000 square miles of coal
fields: 100 million tons of coal were
mined in this country last year:
enough to run ring rouud the earth
at the equator, i've and a half feet
vide ey five and half feet thick.
AMI there IS enough coal in the United
States to supply the whole world, for
period OF from fifteen hundred to
2oO0 years. When coal IS burned for
Illuminating purposes, at least ninety
per cent is wasted

A Plucky Bank Cashier.

4 few weeks. ago bank at Mitchell,
OAK, SUSPENDED, and the affairs were
placed in the hands of IN assignee The
bank had a branch at White Lake, and
the cashier Of the latter was ordered to
close it up and turn over the cash TO
the assignee. But the cashier refused
He said the White Lake branch did
not owe the Mitchell bank cent, but
that, on the contrary, the bank at
Mitchell owed his bank $1,000. lie
said he could not see why the money of
his depositors should be taken to pay
the debts of the Mitchell concern.
The assignee of the Mitchell bank
went over to White Lake, and posted a
notice on the bank that it was closed
But the cashier, aided by depositors,
tore down the notice. The cashier then
took one window aud his assistant an
other, and they began to pay Oft the
depositors The assignee jumped over
the counter and ordered halt, but,
instead of halting, the crowd took the
assignee and fired him out of the build
ing into the street. The cashier then
paid of the depositors in full, and put
the key of the bank in his pocket.
That is the kind of bank cashier to
have around. Perhaps the vigorous
action of the depositors may have had
something to do with this mode of set
tling up. It is an example worth fol-
lowing.

An Object Lesson for Immigrants.

Under the inspiriting influence, of
the motto "a Head of Wheat is Better
than Book, and with the commend
able enterprise and energy in behalf
Of the best interests of the state that
has characterized the action of those
who manage the affairs of the Board cf
Immigration, details have been put
afoot which when complete, will result
in thoroughly advertising Oregon, at
least to the people of someof the west
ern states. As soon as It'll possible to
obtain specimens of grain from the
harvest fields of the current year,
car will be handsomely fitted out with
samples Of what Oregon can DO in the
way Of cereals, minerals, woods, fruits,
vegetables and descriptive matter;
thoroughly informed man will take up
his abode therein, and the whole will
be started on missionary tour This
is only made possible through the cour-
tesy of railway managers, who control
roads to this point and those ra latin 6
from Chicago, Des Moines, Detroit and
other points, have offered gratuitous
transportation for Oregon's specimen
car. 1t is the idea to side-track the
car at county fair towns, and .othor in
ferior places and make andi exhibit, or
give sort of illustrated lecture from
the platform of this travelling immigra-
ton board. Nothing educates like an
Object lesson; nothing converts like
visible and tangible things; and we
think our Board of Immigration have
wisely chosen among ways of doing
good to the state. Indeed we think
this plan could be pursued profita bly,
even at the curtallment of expenditure
in the rooms i'll this city. We should
maintain our immigration headquarters
here, but an immigration board in the
field will make converts more rapidly,
and make them out of better class we
apprehend. Our Iowa visitors are en-
tliusiastic over the plan of the Oregon
car, and promise it splendid reception
at state ard county fairs. We hope
that our farmer friends will aid in this
good work by forwarding choice sam
pies Of grain, grasses, etc.; to sAo State
Board IN Port'and.Es.

country, after an absence of II years.
The Statesman says: He is Of small
size, about twice as large as horse-fy.
On each wing there is natural letter
w, which supersticious people think is
omn1ous of and means "war" He
sleeps in his shell for seventeen long
years. then comes forth to make up for
the time which he has lost He tackles
all kinds OF growing trees, and inserts
his stings into the bark, and deposits
her egg. The sting thus inflicted is
poisonous, and when frequently in
ficted in the same altitude around a
tree is death to the tree. Whole or
chards and forests are thus destroyed.
They always come in big audiences,
there being billions of them now IN
Indiana. They keep up an awful hum
ming noise, and are good flyers.
