the Mt. Olive Sunday school repaired to

the famous Usage band had been engag-

the day consisted Of music by the bands,
singing and speeches by several promi-
nent gentlemen. Some OF the speakers
gave the American Eagle quite an airing
and made us believe that to 90 to bet
ter country than America we would have

Every subject Of interest to Americans
from its discovery to the Greene county

West Virginia is All Right.

The following is the yearly report
of Dun & Co. regarding the business
outlook in this State;
West Virginia stands on the rock
bottom of conservative business en-
terprise and untold timber and min
eral wealth which has only to be full
ly developed to place the State among
the front ranks of the wealthy and
prosperous in the Union. During
the past few years the development
has been continuous and gratifying,
lines of new railroads, immense coal
and coke companies, with timber OPP
erations and new enterprises spring
ing up in every section, while no por.
ton of the State has as yet been af-
fected by the present financial strin-
gency. The outlook for the coming
year is fully as promising. With
prospects of good crops of all kinds,
progressive people and foreign CAPT
tai being attracted here to aid in de-
veloping recources, the present year
should outrank any in the States
history.

ATTEMPTED Suicide.

Fletcher Pratt, an oil man in tie
Mt. Morris field, attempted to com
nit suicide last Sunday morning at
the Provins hotel, by taking lauda-
mum. He asked one of the walters
for a glass of water, took a small
bottle from his pocket, poured it's
contents into the glass of water and
drank it, be then bid her good bye
and went up stairs to his room; but
his conduct aroused suspicion and
he was followed and his condition
learned. Physicians were summon
ed, who brought the sleeping man to
life again, who appeared real glad
that his eyes opened in this world
once more.
Mr.. Pratt is generally conceded to
be an intelligent man, and the only
reason assigned for his rash act was
that he had been sick for several
weeks and got discouraged, and tired
of living, and concluded to end the
struggle.
He took the hack Monday morn
ing for Morgantown, saying he was
going to his home in the northern
part the state Waynesbury Dem

Dragged by Moonshiners.

The mystery surrounding the death
of John j. .Goshorn, mineral pros
pector of Charleston whose dead
body was found in cave in North
Carolina, is being cleared away by
the confession of man now serving
u term in the Virginia penitentiary.
The Gazette says:
A convict in the Virginia peniten-
tiary has recently disclosed that he
belonged to gang of moonshiners
and counterfeiters who operated in
the North Carolina mountains. He
says that one night while they were
plying their trade, stranger walked
in on them. He gave his name as
Goshorn and assured them that he
was not a revenue officer, nor a de-
tective, but was prospecting for min
erals. A young physician in the
crowd proposed that instead of kill
ing him they give him narcotic and
carry him away, while he was insen-
sible and leave him where he could
find his way out. He was accordingly
drugged by giving him whiskey in
which narcotic had been put, and
when insensible certain members of
the gang started to carry him away
from their rendezvous. They found
before going far that they had given
him an over dose and that he was
dead. In alarm the party carried the
body many miles away from their den
and deposited it in the cave, where
it was subsequently found, using care
to place it in natural position and
hiding an empty laudanum bottle in
the cave so as to create the suspicion
that the man had taken his own life.
The death of young Goshorn is
certainly wrapped in mystery and
there are many here who never be-
lieved in the theory of suicide Posi-
bly, the true story may be uneartbed
and the perpetrators brought to jus
tice.

to scratch and undertake to make a
