CASE DISMISSED.
The Two Benwood Young Men
Charged With Highway Robbery,
Discharged from Custody.

The trial of Edward Blake and Smell
Bowman, OF Benwood, charged by
Henry Thellman with committing high
way robbery, Saturday night, and TAX
ing $45 from Thellman's person, were
given a hearing yesterday afternoon be-
fore Squire Lacey, at the Benwood City
Hall, but both defendants were dis
missed, the evidence not being suffi-
cient to sustain the charge. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Parsons, of Moundsville,
was present in the interest of the State,
while Attorney Josiah Sinclair conduct
ed the defense. The testimony OF the
prosecuting witness himself resulted in
the defendants being cleared.
Thellman stated that he had received
a check for S55 from the West Saturday,
and after spending some of the money
in Wheeling, came to Benwood and met
Bowman and Blake. He spent money
for drinks with them at several saloons
and started for his boarding house up
Boggs' run. He says he was knocked
down and robbed. but would not say
that either of the defendants had
touched him or taken his money. He
told quite a different story from the
one made on affidavit, and as a result
the justice promptly dismissed the case.

THE LATE ROBERT GIBSON.
Further Details of His Recent Death at
Pueblo, Col.

Pueblo, Col.
A Pueblo. Col, special to the Denver
News, gives the following details of the
death Of the late Robert Gibson, form
erly of this city:
Robert Gibson, for a number Of
years past one of the most prominent
business men and financiers Of Pueblo.
died at his home on West Tenth street
early this morning Of Bright's disease.
mfr. Gibson was from the organiza-
ton Of the American National Bank
its cashier until i'll health some months
ago made him resign his position. Dur
ing his connection with the institution
he built it up from a new bank to Sec
ond place in the city. His malady at
tackled him in mild form several years
ago. 1t became acute, however, in
comparatively recent times, and when
Mr.. Gibson returned to his home sew
eral weeks ago from an extended visit
in the East it was at once feared by his
friends that his life would not continue
much longer. Two weeks ago he was
compelled to take to his bed, and from
that time never left his house.
''Mr. Gibson Was born in Wheeling,
". Va, in September, 1858 In 1881
he first came to Colorado and went to
Denver

the expense. The boat has been al
lowed to go on with $4,000 bot
tomry bond on her. II may be diff
cult matter for the Government to re-
alize anything from this bond. Then
the Executive invites the Council of
State to become a party to a transac-
ton for which il would be held re-
sponsible. In my opinion the law pro-
vided the means for caring for the
expenses of quarantining the immi-
grants, and no other course should be
pursued by the Executive until the
one laid down by the Constitution has
been fully carried out. The quaran-
tine bills should be paid, but not in
the manner the Executive has asked
the Council TO pay them"
Another Councillor. whose name is
omitted for good reasons, said that if
the Executive had ordered the Health
Department to the balance of its reg
ular appropriation, which amounts to
little over $1,000, in paying the ex-
penses of the quarantine as far as it
would go, and then applied to the
Council for an appropriation to carry
on the work of the Health Depart
ment he believed that an emergency
would have existed which could prop
erly have been brought before the
Council of State.
Several other Councillors spoke their
minds quite freely on the subject. But
as. they mercy coincidd with those
given above, they were not published.
The Council seems to be unanimous
in its position.

SOFIA deep, mellow and well
drained soil is necessary. Good
groves can be made on quite sandy
land if attention is paid to fertiliza-
ton and the growing of nitrogen
gathering crops. Soils poor in lime
produce fruits with little aroma and
thick parings, therefore, on such
soils lime should be used. Spread
mineral fertilizers broadcast at the
beginning of the rainy season and
cover lightly. For young and well fer
tilted plantations, beans, corn, ETC.,
may be planted between rows.
FERTILIZATION.-Do not apply
fresh manure. Good compost is pre-
ferred. If the growth of wood is poor
and the leaves yellow, Chill saltpetre
may be spread after the rainy season.

A Suggestion To tho Agent.

When General Lew Wallace was
serving as Territorial Governor Of
New Mexico u few years agO he ship
ped home to Indiana a carload Of
curlos for Ills friends. The collection
for the most part consisted Of boxes
OF minerals, furs. Indian blankets and
beadwOrk. and with them was includ.
cd a diminutive Mexican burrO or
donkey intended for neighbors child
as a pet.
When the car reached Its destination
the freight agent In checking up the
contents OF the car misunderstood the
word "burro," and, thinking that 1t was
the phonetic attempt Of some illiterate
railroad to spell "bureau." was unable
to lind any piece Of furniture to fit the
bill Of lading. On the other hand. he
found In the car long -rared donkey
not included In the bill.
According to custom, whenever irreg-
ularltles are discovered. he promptly
telegraphed back to the shipping point:

The Uses Of Responsibility.

Every mother should remember that
the making of her daughter Is OF far
greater Importance than the admins
tratlOn of things In her house, ana ev-
cry daughter should realize that she
can learn to avoid mistakes only when
she sees them. She enjoys most seeing
her mothers mistakes ana resolving
that when she has house she viii
'never do sO." A beginning may be
made with small and comparatively
unimpOrtant responsibility, and 1t is to
be remembered that responsibility, and
not mere work, is the great thing. The
very little girl may have the care of
one plant, q hardy one to begin with,
but system and neatness may be prac-
rlced in its care to great advantage. II
