PRENDERGAsT's LONG RESPITE.
Even IL He Should be Proved Sane He
Won't be Hanged Before July 2.

CHICAGO, April Assassin Prem.
dergast cannot be hanged before Ju.
ly 2. The investigation of the con
dition of his mind will not be begun
until May 81. Such was the order
entered by Judge Chetlain to day
The defense insisted on tue case
being tried before ajuiy from..the reg
ular venire, and to this the State S
attorney objected stoutly. He insis-
ted that special venire should be
made, as he wanted "men of intelli-
gence" to try the case, not the kind
of men to be found on the regular
jury.
1t was agreed only one continuance
should be made, and that one long
enough to provide for the full trial
of the case The State asked for four
weeks, and the defense asked for two
weeks more
The case is now in an awful tangle,
and neither States Attorney Kern,
Special Counsel Trude, upon whom
the burden of the prosecution rests,
nor the attorneys for the defense, are
prepared TO say what will be the
outcome.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
A WOman's Stomach Sent to Prof.
Whitehill for Analysis.

Mrs. Amanda WEIGH, wealthy
widow, died suddenly at her home
near Philippi, ON March Is, and a
few days afterward the authorities
had her body exhumed owing to the
suspicion among the people in the
vicinity that she had met her death
by foul play. An inquest was held
by Squire Hu6kins and traces of
poison were found, thereupon the
prosecuting attorney ordered the
stomach to be sent to Prof. White,
hill received the stomach last week
and commenced the analysis, but
it will not be completed for some
time yet. Mrs. Russell, a daughter
of Mrs. WEIGH, is the sole heir to her
estate. 1t is highly probably that a
sensational murder trial will follow,
should the analysis show a sufficient
quantity Of poison in the stomach to
cause death. 1t is not known, here,
against whom suspicion has been
directed.

Our neighbors in the Fayette coke
field are having their annual strike
with the accompanying murders and
riots. At the outset highly respect
ed engineer was most brutally muir
dered and seven or eight of the Hun
strikers were shot and killed. The
strike will be an utter failure. 1t
started with violence and the destruc-
tion Of property. This turns public
sentiment against the strikers and
puts them into the hands of the la W
and destroys any possibility of sue
cess--if they ever had any. The
operators in that region should ar
range to get rid Of the ignorant and
turbulent element that causes 80
much trouble.

W. Va. Coal and Coke Production.

NJ. F. Spruce. inspector of mines
for the Second West Virginia dis
trict, has submitted his annual re-
port to the governor. 1t shows a
very decided, increase over last years
production of coal. while coke has
fallen off more than one, half. The
total production Of the State for
1893, wasl0, U2S, 900 tons. The increase
of production from 1882 to 1898, was
$40 per cent. In the past year, the
Second district, which includes the
counties in the lower part of the
State, shows greater output than
the old First district. The produc,
ton of the Second was 1906, 084 tons
an increase Of l,645.l76 tons. The
manufacture Of coke has fallen off
23S,56S tons in the Second district
alone, and in the First the drop was
sufficient to put the aggregate pro-
duction 1t half the production OF
the year previous.

One OF Coxey's first demands when
he gets to Washington will be an APP
preparation of $500, 100000 to make
better roads. Coxey needn't ask for
better roads. He generally travels
on railroads and they are the best
roads we have. He hasn't time to
walk and if he had it is too much
like work. Like all other cranks and
fools he wants something he can't
use and wouldn't if he could. The
chain gang is yawning for Coxey.

ferent breeds of cattle not dissimilal
to those that were for three years con
Quoted in the laboratory of the West
Virginia Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. 1t was deemed wise, at least
for time, to discontinue it, and fol
the past two years, this department o.
inquiry has been entirely suspended al
our Experiment Station. Our Board,
however, is anxious, if practicable, Of
meet the demands of the farmers o.
the State in regard to the character Of
investigation to be conducted, and
have no doubt that whenever public
sentiment in this State shall require
a continuance of this character o.
work, the authorities of the Station
will be prepared to do all in their pow
er to meet the demands.
After the REIMBURSEMENT Of ths
dairy investigations, the energies Of
the Station were largely directed tt
botanical work, with view to Sc.
curing exact information in REGARD
to the Flora of the State preparatory
to the organization of horticulture
work. In regard to the botanical
work done by the Station, / may say
that while we were concentrating oul
energies upon it, no State in the Unior
did better or more extensive work, and
1t resulted in the publication Of 9
Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora Of
West Virginia, which l believe is thu
most comprehensive botanical publ
cation issued by any Station in thu
country.
The work in Botany was discontin
ued to make room for horticultural
work, In which, there are grand posi-
bilities in this State il we can oncs
impress upon the farmers the adyanta'
ges to be derived from the cultivation
Of orchards, vineyards and small fruits
In preference to wasting their ener
giles upon rough lands and trying, I'M
der disadvantageous conditions, t.
compete by hand and horse power with
the horse and steam power that may
