THERE is scarcely head of fam
lily in Morgantown who does not own
share of the cemetery. Then there
is scarcely citizen who is not inter
ested in having the entire city of the
dead kept as neat and clean and
beautiful as possible. Some time
ago it was mentioned in this paper
that some portions of the cemetery
had become overgrown and slovenly
generally. Why should the people
not insist upon the directors of the
cemetery association employing a
sexton by the year, as is done almost
every place else? There would be
work for him all the time. The as
ISOLATION would lose nothing, as of
course yearly tax. would be laid
for lot owners to pay to keep the
graves and lots in nice condition.

its streets at all seasons of the year,
and they are always fine. They

Morgantown's streets that should be

the thing to flll them with.

WASHINGTON, June 8. - The early
hours OF the session of the senate were
marked by quite lively discussion.
The main point at issue wss the time
alleged by Mr.. Vest to be consumed by
Republicans. Although the senate was
operating under the hve-minute rule.
the Republicans may not find it difficult
to discuss each paragraph and each
amendment as long as they desire, and
the debate which followed the first para
graph taken up was condemned by the
Democrats in severe terms. 1t was as
serted the Republicans we're abusing
the agreement However, during the
day considerable progress was made
on the bill. The agricultural
schedule. which has been hanging
fire several days, was finally
disposed Of, and schedule H spirits, wines
and liquors, was entered upon. The
feature of the consideration WAS the
Withdrawal in many instances of the
Jones compromise amendments allow
ing the committee amendments OF the
original house provisions to stand. The
senate went into executive session and
another five minute arrangement was
made to begin Monday to complete the
schedule now under consideration. A

Efforts to Secure tho Release of Prop
erty Belonging to tho University.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Senator Hoar
today followed up his effort to have the
Judiciary committee investigate the
claim of the government against the es-
tate OF the late Leland Stanford, with a
bill to release the governments claim
on the estate 30 far as the estate has
been or may have been given to the Le-
land Stanford Junior university. The
blll authorizes the president to make
the release so far as the estate was given
to the university during Senator STAN
ford's lifetime or has been bequesthed
by him or shall be given by his legal
representatives. 1t is provided the re-
lease shall be so framed as not to dis
charge any other person or corporation
liable for the governments claim against
the Pacific railroads.
Mr.. Mcguire of California introduced
a joint resolution to the same effect in
the house. Mr. Mcguire says the bill
and resolution cover Jhree-fourtha of all
the lands granted to the Central Pacific.
They cover alternate sections in belt
20 miles wide and 800 miles long, ex-
tending fIon Ogden to San Francisco, OF
equivalent to 5, l30, 00G acres.
Mr.. Mcguire estimates this land is
worth from 30 cents to $l.25 per acre,
and allowing - cents as low average,
1t is worth about $4,000 900. The bill
and resolution are intended to prevent
the road from perIecting title to this
vast tract.

the correspondents of the agricultural
department make the average of winter
wheat sown with that which ia harvest
ed last year 80 per cent, being a de-
crease of l per cent. There is an in
crease of acreage as compared with 1898
in but 10 states, the principal part of
which was made in the states of Kansas
and Illinois. The per cent of winter
wheat acreage of the principal states
are:
Ohio, 90; Michigan, 85; Indiana, 81 !;
Illinois, 122; Kansas, 102, and California
103.
The percentage of spring wheat area
for the whole country is 81 06 per cent,
being reduction from last years aver
age OF H. points. The percentages OF
spring wheat acreage OF the principal
states are:
Minnesota 81. Nebraska 81, South
Dakota S5, North Dakota 80. The aver
age percentage of acreage for both spring
and winter wheat for the whole coun-
try is 95.3, making total area OF 49,
600 900 scres. The condition OF winter
wheat has improved since last report q
little less than two points, being SO 2

The pench crop commercially consid-
| cred is practically failure. The con-
dition of apples is rather better than
that of peaches. Conditions are high
in northern districts but relate prnci-
pally to blooms. But little fruit is ex
pectsd in the Missouri belt. Prospects
are brighter in tie mountain and Pa

WAeeoNER, l. T., June 9.-This after
noon there was robbery and sensa-
tional tragedy enacted on the road be-
tween Fort Gibson and Tahlequab.
where the big Cherokee payment is in
progress. A stage load of passengers
was some miles out from Tahlequah, en-
route to Fort Gibson, the railway sta
tion, when Levi Sanders, desperate
Cherokee character, who was on the
front seat with the driver, shot him in
the side with his pistol and ordered him
to hold up. He then made the passen-
gers get out and relieved them of $40
and some jewelry.
One man from Texas, who declined to
give his name, was shot through the
breast. He had no money to give up.
The wounded man is now in Fort Glib
son in a critical condition, the bullet
having passed through his left lung.
The rohber then left, walking through
the woods in the direction OF Tah-
lequah. He found man and an
Indian boy herding some cattle.
and began shooting at the boy and
killed him. He then mounted the
horse the boy was riding. and again
emerged into the road where he came
upon two wagons taking some men and
a woman. He shot into one OF them
and killed Mrs. Duucsn, lady con-
nected with one of the best families OF
the Cherokee nation. Her son, Levi
Duncan, was with her. He began shoot
ing at Sanders as did the man in the
other wagon, but he Was getting away
on his horse when young Duncan got
a winchester and shot the horse.
Sanders was then aioot and could not
escape. He was literally shot to pieces.
This is the first disturbance Of the kind
that has followed the payment in tbs
Cherokee nation. This was several
miles from the seat OF payment.

Shot Through the Heart.
NANAIMo, B. O., June 9.-Mrs. Sidney
Lobb, wife of the accountant OF the New
Vancouver company, WAS shot through
the heart in her bed room last night,
whether by her own hand or the act o
her husband, frenzied by drink, is 9
matter of grave doubt. Lobb and wife
retired to bed early last night, Mrs. Lobb
apparently in good spirits. the husband
in a maudlin condition. About 10
o'clock the neighbors were aroused by
the cries of the husband that his vile
was dead; that she had shot herself
through the heart. The woman was
found sitting in chair, with a loaded
pistol by her side. From the nature of
the wound and the fact of the husband
being very violent when under the in
fuence OF liquor, it was thought that
the woman may have been murdered.
LoDb is now under arrest. Tne deceased
lady was a daughter of wholesale iner-
chant of Toronto, and leaves TWO little
children, the youngest months old.

house here several weeks ago. have been
warned through letter mailed from
Pittsburg, that there are skeletons"
for their closets and that they could not
afford to take part in such 'detesIable
proceeding against Col. Breckenridge.
The letter was cent from Lexington to
the Pittsburg postmaster with the re-
quest that he remail it to Lexington as
addressed. The postmaster wrote acrosss
the top OF the letter in red ink: "Sent
from Lexington with the request to be
remailed here"
The ladies refuse to allow the letter to
be published. One of them said today !:
"Wel, we know the hsndwriting but
we can't blame him for dong all in his
power for Col. Breckenridge, though it
be done in ever 30 mean manner. The
letter will have no effect. We know our
husbands pretty we'll, and such threats
are beneath our notice."
