HANNA FAR BEHIND.
Bushnell Ran %, 900 Ahead of the Leg
islative Ticket.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-There is
not county Of the so in the State
of Ohio in which Hanna did not run
behind the vote given to Governor
Bushnell at the recent election. In
his own county, the latest returns
show that he was knitted to the ex
tent of 4, $50 votes, or los more than
the amount by which he suffered in
Hamilton county, when compared
with the head of the ticket. The
Foraker counties can be discovered
easily by the amount Of the knitting
that was done. In Lucas county, Of
which Toledo is the seat, Hanna suf-
fered 10 the extent Of 1925 votes,
which represents the organized labor
bodies, which by resolution, decided
to antagonize the legislative ticket
that Stood for Hanrlas reelection.
The official count, complete shows
that Hanna fell almost %, 900 voters
behind Bushnell.

RIG FRUIT YIELD.
In Berkeley County-Apple Orchards
that paid-Big Returns.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Nov. 10
John Miller, of the vicinity Of Ger
ardstown, this county, will realize
about $l5, 900 in round numbers,
from his apple orchard this year, when
he disposes OF his entire crop. He
has just completed the delivery OF
5000 barrels, sold at $40 per BARREL
amounting to the gross sum of $14,-
$40. These were raised upon thirty
five acres Of land, purchased by Mr.
Miller twenty years ago at SO an
acre
Mr.. Miller also netted about SIS, 900
on his peaches. His father, William
A. Miller, who had finer quality of
apples, disposed OF his crop, aggregat-
ing about 5000 barrels, at $3.50 a
barrel. Each OF them is now plant
ing a hundred acres more in fruit
trees. The fruit CROP including both
apples, peaches and smaller varieties,
in this county this year, was not full
on the whole by at least half, al
though the heavy yield Of isolated
orchards would seem to indicate
otherwise.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Supreme Court Relieves Lloyd
Hans ford of a fine.
HI Objected to the Payment of a Fine
Imposed by Judge Hoke and Was Sus-
tanned. The Case From Which the
Eastman MurdersarOse.

The supreme court of appeals has
relieved Lloyd Hansford, a former
State senator, from Tucker county, of
the payment Of a ilne of $25 for con-
tempt, imposed by Judge J. r. Hoke,
formerly circuit Judge, now con-
sui for the United States in Canada.
Some Tucker county man had been
convicted in Judge Hoke's court of a
felony, and Hansford, who was his
counsel, drew up petition for new
trial, which was signed by some SO or
60 persons. Judge Hoke did not APP
prove Of the petition and fined every
person who signed it for contempt.
Most OF the fines were about SIS, but
Hansford's contempt was considered
to be greater than that Of the others
and he was fined $25. Hansford APP
pealed the case and the supreme
court yesterday sustained him.
1t was out OF this case that the IA
nous Eastman murder case arose.
Hansford, Eastman and lot OF other
persons, who had signed the petition
for new trial, secured a special train
and went to Parsons to present it to
the court. Thompson, the man
whom Eastman killed, was not one
OF the party, but returned with them
on the special train. While on the
train, he and Eastman talked over
the fines for contempt and got into
the quarrel which resulted in Thomp-
sons death

Col. Gilmore has completed the
grading for the new wing of the I'm
iversity building and the ground is
now ready for building operations to

the work somewhat but it was com
pleted with the rapidity for which
the Colonel is noted for doing his
work.
Anoher contract just finished by
him is the one he had of maeada-
MIXING Beechurst from the corpora

Between 700 and 800 yards of broken
stone were placed on this thorough
fare by him. 1t will not be the sea
of mud in consequence that it has
been in the past. This piece of ma

ready received lot of stone from
the bridge down to the lower end.
1t only remains for the town to fix
the upper end to be good street

To morrow another job will be be-

hill to Collins Ferry four miles be-
low here is to be widened considera-

weeks to complete the job. It's com

siderably. 1t is now entirely too

GREEN GOODS MEN.
Victimizing Farmers in Harrison
COunty-SeyeraI Arrests Made.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, November
15.-Several farmers about Jane Lew,
West Milford, Cherry Camp and Salem
OF this county, have been victimized
by green goods men. Among those
arrested charged with the offense of
using the mails of the United States
fraudulently are William Haskins,
Homer Nutter and Tilden Nutter
There are twenty-three specific
charges against Haskins. Tilden
Nutter has been discharged. 1t is
very evident that quite number of
farmers were willing to give one dol
lar for seven dollars. But when the
suckers squealed, then followed the
arrests. 1t is said there will be
sensational developments, and when
it is made public who was yictimized
for the ''green goods" everybody will
be surprised at the prominence of the
people, and how many of them are
professed members of church.

Prof. and Mrs. Atkeson

While in attendance on the meet
ing of the National Grange, at Har-
risburg, last week Prof L. G. Alike
son took a prominent part in the
session. He was appointed on the
committees of Order of Business ard
Education Mrs Atkeson was Civ
en- place on those Of Transportation
and Dormant Oranges.
Prof. Atkeson delivered an adj
dress Of which the Harrisburg Tele-
gram says
Prof. Atkeson. Master of the West
Virginia Grange and dean of the Ag-
ricultural University Of that State
was then introduced. Prof Alike
son, in apologizing for the brevity-
to-be of his remarks, said that dur
ing the present convention there had
been a great deal of talking, and be
considered action more important.
He told Of the birth of the Agricul
tural College the passage of the
Landreth act of 1862, which set
aside certain lands for the building
OF such institutions and also gave a
brief history of the West Virginia
State Agricultural University He
showed the necessity for colleges to
which the farmer may send his
children for an education outside of
the less useful classical courses,
which latter often served but to OBJ
struct the proper purposes of such
institutions in the teaching of agri-
culture. He thought emphatically,
however, that inasmuch as any farm
er can certainly teach his boy more
Of practical farm knowledge in one
day than an agricultural college can
impart in a lifetime, these institu
tions should be devoted to teaching
the underlying fundamental princi-
pies, rather than the practical odds
and ends, of the science Of agricuI-
ture

The Washington Post prints a spe-
cial dispatch from Columbus, giving
an interview with ex- Chairman Kurtz
Of the Ohio Republican State Com
mittee, and leader of the anti-Hanna
faction, in part as follows:
"The retirement of Senator Hanna
is assured. The Republicans will do
it themselves, without the aid of
Democratic votes. The next Ohio
Legislature will elect some Repub-
lican who is not a millionaire The
returns of the recent election show
that Hanna is not wanted by the
party. The days Of his bossism are
over. The people are against him,
and that settles it.
"The result reached will be salts
factory to the country, to Ohio, and
to President Mckinley, who has wear
led of Hanna's self-importance. 1t
will be satisfactory to Republican
congressman, who are tired Of Han
mas assumption of authority as the
mouthpiece Of the administration,
and who are kept dancing in attend
ance on him for anything they may
desire.
1.-THE resolution of Endorsement
adopted by the Toledo convention
meant nothing. 1t was adopted by a
convention controlled by the paid
agents Of Mr.. Hanna. 1t was fixed"
beforehand. and / am fully acquaint-
ed with the men and the means en-
ployed.'

Council met in regular session last
night with all the members present.
Not great amount of business was
transacted
The mayor was instructed to direct
the Union Improvement company to
replace the streets which they have
been tearing up, in proper shape, ac-
cording to the ordinance in that re-
gard. The company has been replac-
ing the old gas mains with large pipe,
and in putting back the earth it has
not been tramped properly, but
thrown in loosely. A great deal of
complaint has been made on account
of this, and several accidents have re-
suited from the way the. work was
done. Horses have fallen in the
bitches which were left, and a loaded
wagon upset on Walnut street few
days since by the wheels sinking in
the soft filling.
The Municipal Hall was rented to
the w. V. q. Cotillion Club for two
meetings each month at So per month.
This club is composed of students
and town people. The students are
the active members and have direc-
tion of its affairs. Two dances are to
be given every month by it.
A contract was made with Col. T.
j. Gilmore for the completion of the
grading of North High street. Con-
siderable work has already been done
on this street and the Colonel was di-
rected to finish it. Work was begun
on it this morning.
Council adjourned to meet again to-
night, when the Durbannah bridge
question will be taken up again The
South Morgantown council will be in
Yited TO meet in joint session with
the city dads on this side, and the
matter will be discussed again. 1t
is proposed to place trestle work at
each end of the bridge instead of fills
as was proposed, in the plan which
fell through on account of the heavy
cost. By the new plan a trestle can
be put in at this end in the shape of
a Y, at the cost of 81, 400, when fills
would cost more than 81, 900. The
new plan may be adopted. If it is,
Mr.. Meredith, who is in Farmont
will be summoned down here to con-
suit with the councils in regard to
the matter.
Some such plan should be adopted.
The people want it, Every consider
alton demands that it be done. No
reason in the world exists why grade
crossing should be left at the end of
the bridge. Now is the only time
possible to make the improvement at
such small outlay of cash. Prob
ably it never can be done later.
South Morgantown is ready and
willing to do her share. Nothing is
lacking but the consent Of cur coun-
Gil 1t should delay the matter no
longer, but should act in accordance
with its plain duty in the premises.

HOME AGAIN.
DR. Geo. /. Keener is Here but Little
the Worse for His Trying Exper-
fence


DR.. Geo. |. Keener has returned
from Philadelphia where he sub
mitted to an operation for the re-
moval of his vermiform appendix.
He is visiting his old home on the
West Side and will be here for a
month or so. He looks but little
the worse for the trying ordeal
through which he has passed.
DR. Keener received many words
of commentator from the specialist,
DIR. Keene who performed the opera
ton. The latter informed him that
he was the nerviest man who ever
entered the hospital. When every
thing was in readiness for the oper-
ton DR.. Keener was sitting in a
private office near the operating
table He was told that they were
ready far him and he walked out
and climbed on the table unassisted
and laid down.
The operation passed off without
hitch. The appendix was found
to be about three inches in length.
The lower two inches had turned
black from the frequent attacks of
appendicitis. DR.. Keene says that
onemore attack would inevitably have
proved fatal. The shortest time any
patient has been in the hospital af-
ter a similar operation has been up
until now, twentyone days. This
time limit was placed at sixteen
days which will likely remain the
record for some time

But Cannon Cracker Can Pop and VIII
Do It at the Right Time.
For what happened Reginald Slow
boy was certainly at fault. His procras-
tination was the sole cause of it. He
deserved no sympathy, and yet the
blow seemed to rattle his very back
teeth.
There was quasi understanding be-
tween him and Miss Cutting, but moth
ing definite. He should have declared
his passion weeks before. He felt GER
tain that he loved her as woman had
never been loved before, felt equally
sure that she loved him, but whenever
the idea suggested itself of asking her
in plain, blunt English to become Mrs.
Slowboy he found nervous prostration
treading close upon its heels.
The tragedy that drove him away in
shame and chagrin occurred one Fourth
of July night. They had been shooting
fire crackers and sending up roman can
dies contemporaneously with the entire
Cutting family for some time, but now
the coast was clear. Her father, her
mother, her sister and even her bother
some and ubiquitous little brother had
gone into the house for the night, and
he and she were alone-alone on the
dark piazza. He knew it because his
nervous prostration told him so.
For an hour he talked of almost
everything except the subject nearest
his timid heart. He talked about the
weather and the tariff and the corn crop
and about numerous other subjects we'll
calculated to cause feeling of drowsi-
lin any healthy young woman.
% He had one great cannon cracker left,
and he swung it to and fro and wound
the fuse about his finger for the entire
hour. At length, when the conversation
was perceptibly tagging and she was
covertly yawning, he began to moralize
about the fire cracker
Strange, " he said reflectively, what
power there is concentrated in the pa
per tube I hold in my hand This fire
cracker has 10 brain and yet think of the
vast weight it can raise when exploded
under some heavy object. 1t is an IMAM
innate object-it knows absolutely moth
ing, and yet what a wonderful thing it
can dol"
Some lnanlmate objects know more
than human beings" she murmured
quietly, but there was a quaver in her
voice.
''Now really, you do not mean that
he cried.
Indeed I do," she replied trihe
sharply. "That firecracker is an mani
mate object. It has no brain, as you
say, and yet it knows more than some
men. When the time comes, {" she con-
tinued, rising to her feet and starting
for the door, "when the proper time
comes, that firecracker knows enough
to pop. E. H. E.

George getting up some time ago, and
he is out now, I expect. -
Surely enough, they found him a few
minutes later at the foot of the flag

running up the pole.

A glorious gleam of brightness ap-

pallor came into his face, and he almost
fell to the ground. George noticed it
and started to come to his assistance,

tion, cried:
