Parkersburg, W. Va, November g.
Coroner Keever, Prosecutor Laird and
City Detective D. w. Reaton returned
this morning from Johnson's Bend, on
the o. R. railroad, six miles above this
city. where the little child was found
by Paul Townsend while out hunting
yesterday The case is very myster-
ious. Townsend, when he first heard
the cries of the tabe, peered over
ledge Of rocks and saw the child in the
leaves and noticed blood on its face
and cap. Instead of taking the babe
daughter-in-law and told what he had
seen. She went to the spot and
brought the waif to her home. Its
clothing, all of which was Of fine ma
terial was saturated with water, in
dicating that it had been lying where
found for a day or more, Mrs. Town
send. who has babe or ner own, gave
the little stranger nourishnent, it was
bundled I'D in warm clothing, and when
,ne officers arrived was quite lively.
DR.. Keever examined the wounds
and found two contusions on its fore
head, which may have been caused by
striking its head on rock while tumb-
ling about where found.
The little finger Of the right hand
was nearly severed at the first joint and
the palm of the hand was badly bruised
and filed with particles of cinders,
such as is used for ballast on the rail-
road. Some Of the party were on the
opinion that it had been thrown off
a train, but how IT got to where it was
found is mystery, unless some one was
there when it was thrown off, and car
ried it to where it was round. After
Dr. Keever had dressed the wounds the
little waif dropped off to sleep, and, as
there were no serious injuries, DR.. Kee-
yer believes the little one. with proper
care, will come around all right.
The clothing of the child was of the
finest material The infants cap was
of soft white silk, No. II in size. 1t
was too large and had been gathered
in. The cap was of white goods, with
white silk embroidered figures, and
the undergarments were also of fine
material, indicating that its parents
were we'll to do. The cap and the cape
were brought to this city and are now
at police headquarters, where they can
be seen, and probably some one may be
able to identify them. There were no
marks anywhere by which the babe
could be identified.
4 Ithnnoh tho garments arc ~i'
saturated with water, it is hardly rea-
sonable to believe that the little one
had been lying where found all We'd
nesday night and until Thursday after
noon. 1t would have died of exposure
in that time.
1t is a very mysterious case, but the
prosecuting attorney is now at work
on a clue that he believes will lead to
the identity of the guilty parties.
1t is strongly intimated that the
baby's parents live either in Wheeling
or near that city

NO TIME FOR IDEALS.

Seattle. Nov. Is. 1897
To the Editor: There having recently
peen presented certain views upon AN
Ideal City" accompanied by the inference
that Seattle should adopt those views, I
wish to say that 1t IL not so much a cues
ton or making an 4ueal city as IL is Of
making great city that we should direct
our attention to at the present time.
In the lives OF cities there are times that
should be made the most of, and IL prom
eriy used will insure greatness; although
i; may not be an ideal greatness,
There is In and about Seattle an incoming
tide OF prosperity which will rise higher
than any that has previously occurred !;
and by reason OF IL Seattle may acquire an
Importance not yet dreamed Of by the
most enthusiastic.
do not believe this is the time for plati-
tudes about ideals" and models" and
the like; but that It Is q time for united
action In developing every resource and
promoting every element Of growth II is
likewise time Tor generous forbearance
with the opinions and even the eccentrici-
ties of others.
The commercial interests are entitled to
and should receive great consideration In
all things pertaining TO municipal govern
ment. With the prosperity of our mer-
chants, property owners, and manufactur-
ers assured. there will come a general
prosperity that may be shared by all de-
serving citizens.
Having first achieved greatness. Seattle

vote herself TO Ideals and the righteous

THE FARMERS DILEMMA.

The farmer who has not yet sold his
wheat Is just now hesitating between
the two courses open to him. He does
not know whether to sell now or take
the chances OF future rise. He will
be best guided by study OF the condi-
tons existing elsewhere.
This has been phenomenal year, the
crops having failed In so many places
at the same time. but 1t cannot be ex-
pected that these conditions will be re-
peated next year. AT present the pros
pect OF higher prices seems fairly good,
because the wheat shortage in Europe
Ii proving to be not far short Of what
had been estimated. The crop Of Mani
toba is now found to be lower than it
was calculated would be the case in
August, and the yield for the entire
Canadian Northwest has proved disap-
pointing.
On the other hand. the conditions for
fall sowing are reported a. being much
more favorable in most parts OF Eu-
rope, and there Is reason to expect
that the high prices prevailing this year
will tend to an increased acreage. Aus
tralia has suffered now for three con-
secutive years from unfavorable con-
ditIons, and although the next crop is
too remote to admit OF any Judgment
on the matter, IL is the usual expert
ence that after year or SO OF drouth
there is a change The wheat OF Ar
gentina has suffered from locusts, rs
we'll as fen spring f'osts. and the
usual run of luck enjoyed by that coun-
try for several years seeiA5 TO have

The best thing for the farmer TO do
is to- make up his mind that whistler

his best Judgment and not cry over /,

take II Is impossible To determine
whether prices will so any higher; but

The United States board OF general ap-
praisers has just made a decision Of
high interest, In that it has attempted
to make definition Of works OF art The
tariff provides that these shall be adj
misted free OF duty. 1t Is to the effect
that the work must be the original pro-
duction OF the artist, or a copy made by
an artist who is able to produce original
work artistic enough to come under the
definition. The board has thus settled
fairly and properly a controversy which
has deeply stirred the art world 1t will
be the duty Of customs officers to admit
free Of duty all generally meritorious pro-
auctions; but machine made copies, re-
productions and limitations such as have
been loaded upon this country from
abroad must pay full duty. OF course 1t
will be necessary for the customs officers
to secure the aid Of competent artistic
authorities, and these do not always
agree; but 1t is not possible to draw a
clear and undertaking line between real
and bogus art. It will doubtless be
found that the rule can be applied with
out many serious errors.

Thirty States to Choose.

New York Commercial Advertiser,
Thirty states are to choose senator's be-
fore March 4, 1899. One. Mississippi has
already chosen Mr.. Money. and three,
Ohio. Virginia and Maryland. have chosen
the legislatures which will elect. In these
four states there will probably be q gain
OF one for the Republicans by the defeat
of German. OF the other twenty-six SEN
ators going out ten are Republicans,
twelve Democrats, three Silver Republic
cans and one Populis.. Legislatures to
choose the successors OF these will be
elected next year. The senate now con-
tains forty-four Republicans out OF a
membership OF eighty-n there being a
vacancy from Oregon. They are likely to
lose no seats unless 1t be those in Wash
ington and Wyoming to Populists or Silver
Republicans. They are likely to gain five,
from Wisconsin. New York. North Da-
kota, West Virginia and New Jersey, and
may gain Ave more from Indiana. Oregon,
Nebraska. California and Delaware. At
worst they should have forty-eight sena-
tors, and they may have fifty-four. 1t is
safe to count upon about fifty. IL condi-
tons do not change. This would give
them an effective majority of ten and
make It possible to carry out the currency
reform legislation. which will get no hear
ing In the present senate.

the position of the church in Scotland.
