Again Plays Star Part In the "WiIdS OF
West Virginia."
Hinton Independent-Herald: An ac-
count was given last week " the horrible
burning OF Miss Atkins, an accomplish
ed and popular young lady of Raleigh
county, in forest FIRE, Even our stiit-
ed, dlgnlfied, blue-blooded arlstocratlo
neighbors took the matter up and pub
lished 1t with as much gravity as the
New York World, the prince OF Journal
lstie fakes,
The awful tragedy was pictured as fol-
lows;
Miss Adkins was In the vicinity OF her
home watching the approach OF the fire
fiend when suddenly she found herself
surrounded. Her cries for help were
plteous and aroused the whole neighbor-
hood, but help could not be given her
The flames leaped high and every mo-
ment crept closer to their victim. Stand
ing where they could hear her last en-
treaties. her neighbors saw the flames
enclose her and turned their backs IN
horror as she fell a victim to the fires
which man was powerless to prevent.
She was burned to death almost in the
Very presence Of her friends, who were
powerless to help her.
The fires have done an immense
amount OF damage. Hundreds of acres
of valuable timber have been burned and
many fences were destroyed"
William Adkins was called Judge,
squire &C., and one would have imagin-
ed that an ornament of the "hupper
suckles Of sawclety" had been burned
up.
The facts OF the case are briefly these;
ole Uncle Billy Adkins Is a quiet, inof-
fensiye man who lives on Mr.. j. 7. Nc
Creery's farm, near Quinnimont. The.
Miss Adkins referred to Is his idiotlc
daughter. She was In the habit of run
ming Off and going 20 the woods. She has
on former occasions stayed in the woods
two or three days at time before being
found, and on one occasion was so near
starved to death that she had to be car
ried home, About two weeks ago SHE
ran off to the woods and has not been
heard of since. 1t Is very likely that the
poor creature has perlshed OF hunger and
cold.

Pittsburgh will try the experiment
next spring OF colonizlng the German
startling for the purpose of driving out
the English sparrows which have be-
come so numerous since they were Inn
ported some years ago to exterminate
worm pest that was prevalent over the
country. The sparrows did their work
well. but after the worms were exterml-
mated new pest arose, The sparrows
attacked the farms and the market gar
dens, and as they increased rapidly and
spread over the country, the cry went up
that they were worse than the pest that
they had been brought IN TO obllterate.
In New York, where the importations
were first oolonized. the nuisance of the
sparrows became so great that 1t was
suggested that bounty be paid on spar
rows heads to induce the small boy 10
clean them out.
Other cities and agricultural districts
have had similar experiences, and 1t is
such a state of affairs that has induced
the Allegheny department OF public
works to try the experiment Of introduce
ing the German startling, as the most
formidable rival of the sparrow, which
he Is expected to drive to other chimes.
The sparrows, In addition to their other
Objectionable features, make war on the
song-birds of this country, and lack the
usefulness, intelligence and attractions
of other birds. The startling is an ag-
gresslve bird, and at all times asserts his
supremacy, not allowing the sparrow to
remain in the same place with him, The
result Is the sparrow seeks home else
where.
The starting Is most agreeable bird,
since he Is a sweet songster, of beautiful
plumage, and is cousin to the meadow
lark, whose songs the poets rave over.
He is also gifted with initiative powers,
can be taught to whistle tunes, and is
second only to the parrot in learning to
speak.
The result of the experiment in Pitts
burgh viii doubtless be watched with
much interest by other cities that have
suffered the losses of their song birds In
the parks by reason of the presence Of
the sparrows, as well as by farmers and
others who have had them to contend
with. We trust, however, that the i'm
portatlone of the starllngs will not prove
Instantaneous in another way, such as
the experiment with the sparrows
proved. Should the German bird prove
as attractive and as useful as he is rep
resented to be, America will welcome
him and extend to him the protection of
her laws for the preservation of bird life,
wherever she has such laws.

JUDGE BILLIARDS. ACTION
In Preventing the LynchinG OF Morga
Universally Commended.

Universally Commended.
Washington Post: West Virginia has
Just furnished an example Of speedy JUS
tlce that is credItable to the state and
emlnently. deserving of imitation in
many commemorative. Our press dis
patches have told the story, but 1t Is well
worth recalling as a stimulus to tagging
Justice and an expedient calculated to
check the unlawful execution of men who
have forfeited the right to live. Last
week, In Jackson county, John Morgan,
q farm laborer, committed a triple MUIR
der, the victims being a Mrs. Green and
her son and daughter. The crime was
totally unprovoked and was almost I'M
precedented in It's atrocious brutality. 1t
was Inst such crime as arouses that IN
tensity OF wrathful indignation that usu-
ally eliminates In lynching.
The neighbors Of the murdered family
promptly pursued and captured the MUIR
derer and many persons in the assem-
blel crowd desired to put an end to his
lifethen and there. But the sober coun-
sci Of influential citizens prevailed over
passion and he was committed to jail. II
happened, fortunately, that the clrcult
court was in session. and this fact facill-
tated the immediate indictment of tho
assassin. His trial followed close on the
heels OF his indictment, and In less than
sixty hours after he had killed the
mother and her children he was convict
ed and sentenced to be hanged on the
18th day Of December. That sentence al
lowed the wretch forty days for prepara-
ton for death, and It must be admitted
that It was merclful. too merclful, II
anything, We commend the prompt ar
rest, indictment, trial, conviction. and
sentence as a great improvement on mob
law, and his execution at the time spec-
fled will be swift punishment when COM
pared with the long delays Incident to n
majority of capital cases. But It would
have been sim better II he had been or
dered to execution the day after his con-
vlctlon. In case like this II would be
an Improvement on existing customs and
would operate as deterrent of lynchlng
II the assassIns were lawfully put to
death as soon as arrangements could be
made for their execution, That Is what
will have to be done to establish the SUI
premacy OF statutory over mob law.

The New York Tribune, noting some

The New York Tribune, noting some pnpuliSt economies in Kansas says:
 ..Kansas is suffering from an overpro- duction of brains. This annnuncr- mpnt will doubtless cause surprise, for while it was known that Kansas had an overproIuction of grain, of cyclones and of statesmanship-lhe last not being necessarily synonymous with an of brains-yet it was not suspected that intellect was drug on the Topeka market. The state legislature has shown it, however, by passing bill cutting down the salaries of state officials, particularly the chan ceIlor and professors of the state University. Good judges, declared Senator Lewe!lng. could be got for S25 a month. That is much cheaper than they can be hired in this state, but when a whole commonwealth runs to intellect cheapness of that commo- dity is inevitable. This seems to be the most serious of Kansas afllictioms. When state produces too much corn, it can stop planting, but when there is an overproduction of intellect W hat check can there bep Hereafter when Kansas opens her m4uth let no dog bark.

This he completed and sent his notes into the surveyor gen eral, and directed that all mail for him should be retained here pending his arrival This was six weeks ago and nothing has since been heard of him. When he last wrote he was in Flagstaff and fears are entertained here that some serious mishap has befallen him. Tucson Citizen.

NEVER before in the history of Arizona has SO much interest been manifested in the growing of sugar beets as during the present season. Meetings are being held to discuss the subject. and two sugar beet compan- ies have already been organized in the San River Valley. No doubt the great success obtained in the Pecos Valley last year has much to do with awakening the present interest in Ari- goua. In answer to the question, what kind of soil is necessary for the successful growing of the sugar beet, Nm. Stowe Devol, director of the EApcriment station, writes that "any mudrrately fertile soil that may be easily cultivated to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches is suited to the culture of sugar beets A very light, sandy soil, very rich soil and heavy clay or adobe are objectionable. The best results have been obtained upon mod eralely fertile, sandy loam."
