National member to a State organi-

been careful to say that the bankers Of
West Virginia made no complaint OF

Col. O'Brien still maintained it would
be bad policy to say anything in the
proceedings, and that course will prob
ably be taken.
Mr.. Mallonee took occasion to con-
gratulate the Association upon its con-
tinued growth, and said he felt that
all the banks of the State would nm
ally come into the organization. To
this Col. O'Brien said the Association
would grow and do good if it confined
its work to proper lines and topics. If
this policy was not pursued, the Asso-
citation would be sat down upon and
would deserve to be.
Clarksburg was unanimously CHOSEN

a recess was then taken, and at 2:SO

IL WAS A BOY.
The Mistake OF an Eighth Ward Ohicer,
who Picked Up Waif on the street
Another Joke is told on Officer Shields

The Mistake OF an Eighth Ward Officer,
who Picked Up a Waif on the street.
Another joke is told on Officer Shields
of the Eighth ward. Wednesday
evening Shields picked up on the
streets a child, only about three years
of age. who had strayed from home.
The officer thought that the child had
come from the upper ward and tele-
phoned to the Niagara engine house
that he had found a girl and that if one
was missing the parents could get her
bv coming to his house. A few min
utes later the Eighth ward engine
house was rung up from the Niagara
and a Sixth ward officer stated that a
how and not a girl had been lost from
the Sixth ward, and asked Shields If
he was sure it was girl that he had
found Shields started for home TO
find out and came back with the infor-
nation that it was really boy and
not a girl. He had made the mistake
of supposing il was a girl because the
cbild's hair was parted in the middle.
The child was restored to its almost
distracted parents.u/

THE DURRANT CASE.

San Francisco, June 3.-Theodore
Durrant seems to be breaking down.
A member of the death watch was seat
ed at his side last night looking down
upon him as he tossed and tumbled
in his restless sleep. The warden was
at once notified of the change in Dur
rants demeanor, and orders were is
sued to increase the death watch and
to maintain the vigil with greater care
than before. Captain Edgar command
ed that a guard be stationed every min
ute of the day and night in the cage
with the condemned man. What ever
Durrant may do the eyes of the guard
will be upon him. Three men will
watch him until he dies on the gal
lows.
Durrant's father carried to the con-
demned man yesterday the news that
the United States district court had
denied the writ of habeas corpus and
that the next fight for life must be
made at Washington before the Su-
preme Court.
A special messenger will hurry across
the continent but he cannot reach
Washington before next Wednesday.
He will have the greatest good fortune
if he receives an audience from the
Supreme Court that day. 1t is probable
that hearing will not be granted be-
fore Thursday of next week, and on the
following day Durrant must die, If the
national tribunal does not exert its
authority.
The elder Durrant wept yesterday, as
he told his son the story, but he bade
the condemned man to be Of good cheer
and not TO lose heart until the last
hope is gone. If the journey is made
without accident, return, staying the
execution may be served by telegraph
on the warden. Theodore said he
would be brave. AS he spoke to his
father a wire screen and wooden bars
separated them.
At II o'clock this morning Durrant
SAYS he will ask the court for permis-
sion to appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. If this request is
granted they will be satisfied, for they
contend that it will act as stay of
execution.

CORVALLIS, w. Va, June 3.-The ex-
citement over the big strike of Naugh-
ton & Holt on the widow Matheney
one and half acre lot is intense.
The well is located about 1,5OO feet
north and east of the Cox & Wood
yard No. gusher on Douglass. mere
was some doubt as to whether it would
be a producer. and some of the talent
predicted that it was too far east. The
owners had faith in it. however 1t was
drilled to the top of the sand Tuesday
afternoon and gave evidence then that
it would be a record breaker. There
was a heavy pressure Of gas and it be-
gan putting oil in the tank at the rate
of 10 barrels an hour and then closed
down.
Wednesday morning the well was
drilled into the pay and the greasy
stream gushed forth deluging every
thing and everybody who happened to
be near the well. and several hundred
barrels were lost before it could be con-
nected with the tank. There were two
$50 barrel tanks and another was being
put up as rapidly as possible. The pipe
line company is hustling force OF
men to make connections, which Will
,,ro,,obI,. hs accomplished some time
to-day. When first connected the well

A Remarkable Snake Story.

The latest snake story comes from
South Africa. 1t is recorded in the
Transvaal, published in Cape Town,
as cold fact, that in Sekukiniland
native ran across a boa constructor
measuring about Al feet, which had
just swallowed young koodoo
buck, all except the horns, says the
London Times. The horns stuck
out on each side of the reptiles
mouth. The native recognized the
horns as those of buck he owned,
and he ran and got sticks and pinned
the serpent, which was dormant, to
the ground. Then he got hold of
the horns and pulled and twisted.
He got the buck out inch by inch
until half its body showed, and then
it came with jerk, and the boy fell
over on his back. Before he had
time to think twice the snake, re-
lieved of its load of mutton, was up
on him, and it seized his head in its
mouth and in three minutes the
native had taken the place of the
buck, only he was all inside; there
was nothing left to pull out, even If
a rescuer had come along. Having
swallowed the boy the boa deliber-
ately swung its head around and
grabbing its tail swallowed eight
feet of it, thus closing the mouth
aud throat, down which the native
had disappeared, and making escape
absolutely impossible. The Trans
vaal vouches for the truth of the
story,

Children's sickness.

There is growing tendency
among mothers, which is as valuable
as it is significant, to regard the
sickness of their children as some
thing almost in the light of dis
grace. With the great advance in
the knowledge of the important part
diet plays upon development and
disease, mothers have discovered
that it is possible to keep family
of children through a winter with
out single cold, to counterfeit
hereditary tendencies, and to regu-
late retarded or one-sided develop
ment, all by proper diet. Tonsili-
tie, the "sore throat" which used to
be familiar and rather accepted
malady of a family of children, is
now known to be often, almost al
ways, traceable to a dtsordered
stomach, and numerous other ills to
be prevented by care in eating are
recognized. WOmen's clubs are
turning their attention more and
more to these matters, and "Nutri-
tive Values" THE Science OF
Food" and Medicinal Diet" are
more often in some form the sub.
jects of carefully prepared and ca
gerly discussed papers.-New York
Post.
