MIR. HoAn's CONFERENCES.

Referring to the loneliness of Scnat or
1l"ar In his anti-mpcrialism, the New
York Sun calls attention to some Of the
numcrously signed petitions against an
ncxation Of the Philippines. The Sun
says:
Our esteemed contemporary, the

Died.

WARDwELL-Died, Mrs. Jas. A.
Wardwell after brief illness died
Thursday, May &c, at her home on
Front street. Mrs Wardwel was a
most estimable lady loved by all
who knew her and her death has
caused great gloom amongst her
large circle of friends. Several
months ago she moved here from
Kingwood and in that brief time
won the admiration of all she came
in contact with. She leaves to be-
moan her departure a loving hus-
band and four bright children Hel
remains were shipped on the IL 7
to her old home in Kingwood.
BARKER-Alfred G. Barker died al
his home in Grant district, this
county, just after midnight Thurs
day, May Goth, 1898, in his SSth
year, having completed his S7th year
on the 10th of this month. Mr.
Barker had been i'll for many months
and his demise was not unexpected
He was TIE last of his generation
He came of an old, widely known
and influential family who were
among the pioneers of the country.
He was born on the farm where he
died and where he had always lived.
He was an upright honorable man
whose word was as good as his bond
and who was respected by all who
knew him.
About fifteen months before his
death he professed conversion and
died in the triumph of faith. His
widow and family are deeply mourn
ing his death and they have the
sympathy of the entire community
in their affection. He leaves five
daughters, three sons and numerous
grand children, all of whom are good
people The old homestead has been
famous place, many notable social
and political events having occurred
there and it was known far and
wide. Funeral services will be held
at the house on Friday at 10 o'clock
and the remains will be laid to rest
with his fathers in the family bury
ing ground on the farm.

COUNCIL MEETS.
Two Important things are done
by that Body.

They fix the Levy for the next Year.
1t will be one Dollar on the hun dred.
This shows that some one was mis-
taken about the Increase that was to
be-An important step toward free
bridge-tOwn will pay two thousand
Dollars to get it out Of this years lew
1t is an imposition and shame but
we need it so badly that we will sub
nit to the treatment--0ther business
transacted was largely routine in
Character.
Council held meeting last night
and great deal of routine business
of no especial interest was transact
ed. The only two things of interest
to the citizens generally were the
fixing of the levy and the action
they took toward free bridge.
The levy was fixed for the coming
year at one dollar just where it has
been before it was decided to pave
the streets Some of the oppo-
nents to this measure said that the
levy would be increased twenty cents
but the subsequent events have
shown that they were mistaken if no
worse.
The free bridge was taken up in
this connection and it was directed
that out Of the levy for this year
that two thousand dollars might be
taken at any time that it might be
needed to help make the bridge a
free one.
There was little discussion over
the matter and each of the council
men voted for this measure but they
all feel that it is an imposition on
the town for the county to make
such move necessary yet they feel
at the same time that no move could
be made would result in greater ben
eft to the community.
The people want free bridge and
it cannot be much longer delayed,
This move of the council may make
it certainty before the year is out.
That such a thing may happen is
the hope of all who are interested in
the real advancement of the county.

MOST IGNORANT MAN.
In West Virginia PardOned Out Of the
PenifenfiarY BY TOY. Atkinson.

The Governor granted pardon Sat
| urday to Charles Greenhouse, whom
he characterized, in giving his reasons
for so doing, as ''evidently one of the
most ignorant persons | have evel
heard of.
The judge who tried the case" con
| tinues the Governor, "staled that he
did not know one month of the yeaI
! from al0ther; that he did not know
December from July; that when asked
if he knew place called hell, he stat
ed in good faith that he had heard
of the place, but had never been there.
Greathouse had been in the employ OF
Sherman Lockhart, the prosecuting
witness, and claimed that Lockhart
owed him money; that he simply went
to the house of Lockhart, and finding
no one there, went in and took the
guitar for the deut. 1t is stated to
me on good authority that Lockhart
had no lock on his door, 1t is further
stated to me that Greathouse told
people about having taken the guitar,
and had offered to sell it for the
amount he claimed Lockhart owed
him. Judge Iavenner states in a
letter to me, that Greathouse is as
ignorant a person as he had ever
known; that in oyerruling the motion,
for new trial, he stated publicly that
the punishment does not fit the crime;
that parole or pardon would be but
just; and that the boy had been saffi-
GENTLY punished already to serve the
ends of Justice"
Greenhouse was convicted at the
February term, 1898, of the circuit
court of Writ county of burglary and
HOUSEKEEPING, and was sentenced to
serve five years in the penitentiary
The petition for the pardon was sign
ed by the prosecuting attorney, ali
twelve of the jurors, and large num-
Der of the best citizens of Writ coun-
ty.

encouraging to those who know
something of its efforts and the
painstaking, exacting, labor requir-

that its work is recognized and the
press is glad to give information

There is station in every state

1t is a simple duty everyone owes to
himself to keep in touch with it and

courteous gentlemen and any com

NOT SETTLED.
Finding OF the Body Of Miss Holmes
does not decide how she met ner
Death.

The finding of the body of Miss
Holmes in the river does not clear
up the mystery of her death but
rather adds to it. Was it suicide or
accident is still the question to be
settled. There seems to have been
some young man mixed up with the
case and to find him and unravel his
connection with it is now the prob
lem that is before those who are on
the trail.
The finding of the body was of
course relief to the relatives as il
settled definitely what had become
of her but of course it gives them
great pain at the same time. Her
friends are still at sea as to the
cause of her death and no reason
that is known at her home has come
to light. 1t is aud will likely remain
one of the great unsolved mysteries
of this valley.
