direction he had taken and fought their
way through the frenzied crowd.
The opposite side of the pen, strange
ly enough, was almost deserted, and
here they found Grodno and Hamid
fulnbling at the grating.
''All right" the Russian whispered
triumphantly, and TO their amazement
the boys saw that he had opened one of
the little sliding doors.
He darted quickly through. followed
by Hamid. Maurice, horror stricken at
the thought Of abandoning all these
poor wretches to shocking death, was
about to attract general attention TO
the open doorway when, with a terrific
crash, the entire grating on the opposite
side of the pen gave way before the des-
perate efforts of the mob and toppled
over on the astounded guards.
''Come quick" shouted the Russian,
and without further delay the boys
darted out on the open deck. Not SOL
der was in sight. They were all on the
other side.
Grodno had laid his plans well.
On the edge of the barge lay rude
boat, belonging to peddler who had
come on board with provisions few
days before.
Grodno and Hamid seized this by the
bow and stern and dropped it with a
light splash into the water. 1t landed
fairly on its keel, and, turning to the
boys, Grodno shouted: Jump in now
quick. Don't delay"

A lew weeks ago the editor was taken
with severe cold that caused him to be

undoubtedly a bad case Of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took i'm

good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial oil the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac-

The hours of that night seemed inter-
nipable. Sleep was out of the question,
and the first gray glimmer of dawn that
crept into the dreary cell through a
narrow aperture, high upon the wall,
found the two boys YEARLY pacing the
floor.
A fairly good breakfast was presently
brought, which they barely tasted, and
then appeared a gendarme officer and
four men, who led the boys away.
Maurice begged for brief interview
with the commanding officer, hoping
10 convince him Of the truth, but the
puards refused TO listen and hurried
them into the street, where close car
rage was waiting, hemmed about by
mounted Cossacks.
Through the gray mist they had a
hasty vision of countless domes and
spires of marvellous colors and fantastic
shapes.
Then the heavy curtains cut off the
view, and the carriage rolled away. 1t
stopped before huge brick building,
and the boys passed quickly through
the gloomy portals. The gendarme Off
Ger preceded them with a stamped docu-
ment in his hand, which he delivered
to big, black bearded man in blue uni
form, who came forward to receive him.
A few words passed between them,
and then the boys were led away to
small, whitewashed cell, furnished with
single bed and chair. A grated door
opened on large corridor, which was
INSTANTLY patrolled by armed sentries.
They were now in the great forward

mandant, Captain Sasha, had just re-
ceived the official documents that seal

West Virginia Parents Must Educate
Their Children, or Pay fine to the
State Under the New Law

Probably not every one of our
readers know that we have com
pulsory school law in the State, and
that all children between the ages OF
s and IA years must be sent to
school, or their parents pay fine.
We append the law in full. Parents
should read it over carefully. The
law says:
Section 10a. Every p erson having
under his control oh lid or child
rem between the ages of eight and
fourteen years, shall cause such
child or children to attend some pub
lie school in the city, Independent
district, or district in which he re-
sides, and such attendance shall
continue for at least sixteen week
of the school year, provided the
school be in session as many as six
teen weeks, and for every neglec
of such duty the person offending
shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and shall upon conviction thereof
before any justice, be fined two dol
lars for the first offense, and five dol
lars for each subsequent offense.
And it shall be the duty of every
trustee and teacher to inform against
any one so offending; and upon a
failure to do so they shall be guilty
| of a misdemeanor and be fined not
exceeding five dollars; Provided,
That if such child or children have
attended for like period of time a
private day school, or if such child
or children have been otherwise in
structed for like period of time in
the branches of learning required
by law to be taught in the public
schools, or have already acquired
such branches, or if his physical OF
mental condition is such as to rem
der such attendance inexpedient, OF
impracticable, such penalty shall
not be incurred: Provided further,
That in case there be no public
shool in session within two miles by
the nearest travelled road, of any per-
son in the school district, he shall
not be liable to the provisions Of
this act.
If sixty per cent of the legal vo-
tiers of any city, independent dis
trict, or sub-district shall petition
the Board of Education against the
enforcement of this act, the said act

Among the Churches.

AT the Nj. p church yesterday
morning Pastor Barnes preached the
second sermon of series ON "The
Holy Spirit" In the evening The
Footprints of Life was the theme.
The Importance of doing something
as we go through life that will be a
blessing to those who shall come
after us, was the leading thought.
If we cannot establish a kingdom or
found an empire we might build a
church or endow school. We can
at least plant tree OF dig we'll
from which others may drink when
we are gone. A large audience was
present.
The attendance at the Presbyte-
rian church was very good-large
congregations yesterday. Dr. Blu
chanan, as usual, preached two very
fine sermons. The subject in the
morning was Reverence !" in the
evening the text was, "Stir Up the
Gift of God Within You" This
sermon was preached particularly
for the younger people. Some ex-
cellent advic. was given to students
Rev. W. E. Powell preached but
one sermon yesterday, as he felt in
disposed in the evening. The SER
vices in the morning attracted a
crowded house, several not being
able to gain admission. Rev. Mr.
McCutcheon addressed the Young
Peoples Society, this being the only
evening services. Rev. Mr.. Powell
had intended to preach again, bu,
was prevented by an indisposition
from doing so.

THE KINGwOoD DIAMOND. THIEF
Convicted and Sent to the Penitentiary
for two Years.

The jury in the Howard diamond
case rendered it's verdict on Satur-
day and pronounced the accused
guilty. The state brought out its
case clear and strong.
Howard is a New York crook who
was travelling on a B. q o. train last
June and at Rowelsburg he stole
from Mr.. j. NJ. Culp, of the South
ern Railroad valuable diamond.
He was arrested at Cincinnati and
brought back to this state for trial.
While the lost diamond was not in
his possession when arrested in Gin
cinnati, it was shown that Howard
had an opportunity to throw it away.
When searched, there were several
paste diamonds found in Howard s
pocket such as those used by pro-
fessional diamond thieves. The
court, however, decided that this ev-
idence would not be admitted.
Sheriff L. c. Shaffer gave some
very damaging testimony about
Towards recent attempt to break
Jail having sawed off several bars of
the window, and the tools found in
his cell were produced in court.
Towards only witness was his wife,
and when asked to tell something of
her marriage to Howard, and her
past life in New York, the court
sustained the objection of the de-
Tense. The state was prepared to
prove by private detective of New
York that Mrs. Mary Howard had
lived a different life from the one
she alleged.
Howard took the verdict with the
same stoicism that was so marked
during the trial. May Howard, his
wife, created scene in the court
room as soon as the verdict was
read and wept Historically. The at
torneys for Howard asked for new
trial and the motion was overruled.
The prisoner then waived a right
for an appeal and the court passed
the least punishment according to
law, which was term of two years
in the State penitentiary at Mounds
vile. The sentence might have
been ten years, and Howard expressed
himself to your correspondent as be
ing well satisfied with the sentence.

Hu Maxwell, Of West Virginia and

to live. He is now located in Tucker
county. He will make this his home,
coming here some time next week.
Mr.. Maxwell is one of West Vir.
ginia's authors and easily ranks as the
first in ability of all the splendid
writers the state boasts.
His prose is excellent and has at
tracted wide attention but it is due
to his poetry that he is so justly held
in such high esteem. Several vol
umes have been published by him ant
they have uniformly been received
with high favor.
Mr.. Maxwell and family will move

We are delighted to receive this adj

come him to home among us. We
hope that he may find his stay here
both pleasant and profitable.
