cence OF Jack Easton, who was arrest
ed on Sunday afternoon, while at work

charge OF numbering George Pitcher, at
Nassau, N, Y, last September, Late
yesterday afternoon, at the instance OF
the Intelllgencer, close and searching
examination OF the payroll books OF
the Aetna STANDARD company was
made and the result was sufficient 20
clear Easton, II the murder occurred in
September, a point on which the Mar
tins Ferry authorities were not In
formed. The books show that Easton
secured employment at the mills on
August 30, of this year, and that he has
been in continuous employment up to
Sunday, with the exception of two days
at different periods.
AS soon as this Information reached
the Intelllgencer an effort was made to
secure authentic information as to the
details of the murder Of the man Pill
cher, for committing which Elstou was
arrested. A telegram of inquiry was
sent to the Troy. IN. W Morning Re-

ADJUSTMENTS.

There will be an entertainment of
more than usual attractiveness and
merit at the Opera House on Wednes-
day night, when those admirable young
actors, Mr.. and Mrs Russ whytal, will
be seen In Mr., Whytals successful
drama, "For Fair Virginia" This high
~ praised play tells a romantic story
OF domestic life IN Virginia during tho
late war, II has u military background
and atmosphere, but II Is not by any
means melodrama. Indeed, Mr. Why
tai appears in the light comedy char
acter.
The Brooklyn Eagle said: The roman
tic scenes and nervous situations won
instant and increasing favor. Mr. and
Mrs. Whytai are excellent actors, whom
II will be pleasure to see often. Mrs.
Whytal is a Coincidence of sympathetic
temperament and Of touch whose art
and certainty were quite surprising,
Imagine Mrs. Kendall twenty years
younger. and the reader will get fair
idea of Mrs. Whytal.

This was the first authentic informa-
ton received here as to tho time the
assault was made on September %
Easton was working In the Aetna
Standard mills. so the Martins Ferry
police have charged an innocent man
with the murder. No doubt he will be
released, as soon as officials Of the Act
na-Standard company In charge of the
payroll testify to the fact that Easton
was here at the time OF the committing
of the crime,
Yesterday, the Martins Ferry officers
maintained their belief that EaSton Is
the man they want. but then they
were not In possession Of the facts pre-
sented to the readers of the Intelligent
Ger this morning. 1t can be seen that
Easton Is innocent without any doubt,
unless there is crooked work In the re-
cords of the Aetna Standard company
and that is not considered even a pos
slhllity. The police add that there are
other persons In Martins Ferry, In ad-
dition TO Easton. who know about this
crime. but Il looks as though they are
mistaken Some friends of Easton eN-
pressed themselves In a peculiar man
ner when they heard OF his ares. sun

said;
why, I thought the man Easton hit

Conflicting Forces.

In our great national life the strug-
gle is sharp today between the spirit
that would make of this country sim
ply great material power without
great moral force and character and the
nobler spirit that would hold these ma
terlal powers as servants to the higher
life. - Bishop William Lawrence of
Massachusetts at St Louis.
Newspapers That should he Boycottcd.
! know the press caters to public
taste, that it prints what the people
read and demand and that some of the
editors do not approve of the scenes the
papers describe. All such indecent
sheets should be boycotted and kept for
ever from the home. This will have
its influence in changing sensationalism
to conservatism. Rev W. w. West
Baptist, Pittsburg.
Monasticism and Missions
The ideal of monasticism, or the alb
solute Remuneration of self, will ALWAYS
have attractions for a class of noble and
heroic souls This devotion to a sublime
standard is the only motive that can
sustain the missionary spirit in the ill.,
evltable hardships and sacrifices that
attend the preaching of the gospel to
the heathen.-Father Joseph v. O'Con-
nor, Catholic, Philadelphia.
Two Deaths.
There are two deaths When death is
quick, 1t is not difficult to believe that
there is life beyond. But the death
which is like the sunset, fading from
brightness and glory to a cheerless
gray, Is that which discouraees. Thus
we see mind and soul and honor die in
those we care for. "We mourn death
less for what it takes away than what
1T leaves behind. Rev. DR.. Rains
ford. Episcopal, New York.
Simple but InexpIicable THINGS.
l ask you, Is there anybody that can
