WEST VIRGINIA.
Contributes Another GoldBrick Chump
A Jackson County Man the Victim.

CINCINNATI, Dec. IA. Mr.. Clinton
Slaughter, of Cottageville, w. Va,
fell an easy victim to the gang OF
bunko men who have robbed num-
Der of verdaht visitors to this city
recently. Slaughter arrived here
yesterday morning from his home up
the river, and had only walked a few
squares whed he met man. They
had several drinks, and Slaughter
took his new found friend with him
to buy some cigar boxes. Then they
had another drink, and took a street
car ride to Newport, when two men
stepped up to them and told Slaugh-
ter's friend that he was under arrest
for being counterfeiter.
This scared Slaughter, who gave
the alleged officers SOL. so that they
would not take him to the lookup.
He was allowed to go, with instruc-
tions to call at the station house later
with business man to prove that he
was not criminal. After the men
were gone it dawned upon Slaughter
that he had been victimized, and he
notified the Newport police and Chief
Deitsch. His description of the men
tallies with that furnished by other
yerdant victims of the bunko men.
Slaughter is also minus his valice and
overcoat, which he left in a saloon,
as he was drinking and does not
know where it is located. He says
that he is cigar manufacturer, and
has read the daily papers for 20
years.

KICKERS COME Men.
But II Seems We Are Bound to lave
Them.

To the Editor Of the New DoMISIoS:
The bridge which crosses Decker's
creek to South Morgantown is a
county bridge 1t was built bf the
county, it has been maintained by
the county; it was paid for lay the
county; is controlled by the county;
it is for the benefit of the county
and is in every other respect a coun-
ty bridge
Therefore, when a new bridge is
required in the same place for the
same general purpose it ought to be
put there by the county and paid
for by the county.
There is no justice or propriety in
making the town pay the principal
part of the-cost There is no justice
or propriety in taxing the town for
its share of the cost, and then taxing
the town exclusively for one half
more of the total cost.
The only reason advanced for tax
ing the town for from one half to
three fourths of the total cost, is
that they propose to alter the plan
of the bridge so as to allow an under
grade crossing for a railroad. But
is the town alone interested in this?
Are not the people of the county,
who use the bridge almost exclu-
sively interested in a safe crossing?
Is not the county under as much OBJ
legations to see that the bridge is a
modern, convenient structure as the
town is?
The bottom fact is that the coun-
ty ought to build that bridge as the
conditions demand, and pay the bill.
If the town is willing to put $4,000
in bridge, let us put it where it
will do the most good. Let the coun-
ty build it's own bridge where and
how it will, and let the town build a
bridge where it will be of most ben
eft to the town. Let the town con-
tribute $4,000 to a bridge at the end
of Main street or at the end of Nc
Lanes alley, and bridge will go up
at one of those points which will
open up large scope of building
territory that will be of immense adj
vantage in extending the town.
The bridge at the present site is
of no very great need to the town.
That's county bridge. If the town
has to pay for county bridge let
the town select the site and build it
with reference to the needs of the
town. FAIRPLAY.

PASTOR FOUND THE DEED.
Chenille Minister Dreams a Remark.
able Dream-And Thereby finds a
Lost Paper strange Coincidence OF
Figures and Location,

IiSuTcs anu LOCdtiOns
Nine out of ten men scott at the
idea that anything is ever taught or
communicated to one by dreams or
premonitions. The Chenille Path
finder publishes this week strange
occurrence which is, to say the least,
a remarkable coincidence says the
Pathfinder:
Some days ago Rev. VIM. NJ. Hiner,
pastor of the M. E. church, South of
this place, had occasion to see the
deed for the Jobs Temple church lot.
Going to the county clerks office, he
asked If such a deed was recorded
there. Clerk Kee searched the records
thoroughly, but, owing to the fact
that Mr.. Hiner did not know from
whom, to whom, or when the deed
was made, the record Of the same
was not found.
"Much worried about the matter,
and filed with desire to find the
deed, the reverend gentleman went
home and that night retired at his
usual hour His mind was restless,
and when he at last fell asleep he
dreamed that in search for the deed
he went to the house Of Mr.. Stall
maker, who resides near Jobs Temple,
and there found the deed; that it was
signed by one name only, and that
upon the back were the figures I and
20.
"Some days alter, Rev. Mr.. HineI
visited Mr.. Stalnaker's house, and
there, sure enough, as in his dream,
he found the deed. 1t was signed by
J. M. Bennett and upon the back were
the figures 7 and 20.
Returning to Chenille, Mr.. Hiner
again went to the clerks Office and
told wha, he had discovered, and how.
Deputy clerk, Miss Alice Kee, turn
ed to Deed Book No. I, page 20, and
there found the deed.
This is true. Can anyone explain
it?n

The Wealth Of Kansas.

The news that Kansas will send "a
car load of cancelled mortgages" as an
exhibit Of the effects Of revival OF
prosperity in that state to the Trans
mississippi exposition, Omaha, renders
the final outgiying by the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture for this season of
more than usual interest. The total
yield of winter wheat in Kansas is
so, 040, 37i bushels, worth 1913, 1851
or almost 100 per cent more than last
years crop. Its average yield per
acre for the entire state is 1907 bush
els. The corn crop is 152, 140, 993 BUSH
els, or SO, 27S, 421 bushels less than in
1896, and its value $28, 555, 293, or
81, 077, 720 less. OF oats the yield is
20, 431, 273 bushels, an increase Of
4,116,50l bushels. The value of the
