Something to Love.

There are tangled ends in the web of life,
Knotted and gnarled twisted and linked,
Threads which were dropped in the busy strife,
Loose and forgotten, unkempt and knked.
The lowest lout in tie scale of man
Lives for something has something to love,
Something that points to the one great plan
Out through the nists TO the stars above
He NAV mix in mire and filth of the street
BE wrapped complete In the meshes of wrong,
Yet down in his soul are memories sweet.
A voice that's singing some cherished song.
Ard meath. the crown Of ragged old hat
Thoughts of beautiful things which were
That gid with gold the this and that
Till they CLEAN Ike gloTies among the blur.
There's print ON his brain of mothers hand.
Guiding and leading through murky night,
Our through the darkness gloomily grand
TO some bright hope, ray of light.

WANT A TRIAL.
Musgrave's Counsel Serves No
tice on the Court.

They VIII be Ready for Trial Mt This
Term of Court Prosecution will not
Attempt to Get Ready-..Can't Get
their witnesses together in time.
VIII Fight for Continuance DE
Tense Will scrap for trial ut Once.
Claims and Counter Claims which the
Judge VIII pass upon--fhe Outcome
Problematical.
1t was generally understood that
there was TO be no trial of Musgrave
at the coming term of court but his
counsel are determined to fight for
the trial. They have served notice
onthe state that they will be ready
for the trial and will ask that ii be
had. They say that their client has
already been confined too long and
they want him out. They want an
end put to the matter and the thing
ended some way or other.
The idea that the state will never
be SO badly prepared for the trial ITS IL
will be at the next term also has
weight in determining them on the
move. Even IL the prosecutor should
do everything In his power he could
not get his witnesses here by the time
court opens and the case is called.
The defense sees this and is deter
mined to make the most of 1t.
The state says that they will not
make the slightest attempt to get
ready as it would be utterly impos-
sible TO do so, and that the trial will
be postponed until June, no matter
what the defense says. The defense
AYERS that 1t will have a trial and
that. should the Judge continue the
case, they will ask that their client be
allowed to give bail. However, they
will raise a big disturbance to have
trial and will only yield when forced
to do so.
The state claims that there is abso-
iutely no chance for the trial and not
only will that be refused but that the
idea OF bail is preposterous as the Of
tense under which Musgrave is in
dlcted does not admit OF bail and
that he will remain in Jail until June,
when he will be tried The outcome
of the tangle will be watched with in
terest by every one, but it IL not
thought by the bar generally that the
trial will be held, although 1t Is seen
that it is very much to the interest Of
the defense TO have it IL they can
force the matter by any means.

Small HOBBS from Morgantown Res

road, has been at work securing rights
Of way for that road up the south
side Of the Cheat river and reports he
is making good progress.
Saturday three boys, aged from ten
to twelve years, took walk from
Morgantown down the railroad to
this place. reaching here late in the
afternoon. Ed Donley, a student of
the West Virginia University, was
here on a visit to bis sister, Mrs. DR.
Owen, met the boys and knew them,
bought tickets for them and sent them
home on the evening B. & o. train.
w. S. Dewing was here last week
looking after his lumber interests,
and went from here to his timber
lands up Cheat river. At present
Dewing & Sons have complete lum-
Der camp on cheat few miles above

out, allowing the gas to escape, and
it took fire from gas jet fire used to
heat the gas before it crosses the
river. For time it made danger

MfngO is Improving.

For about the first time since the
county was established, the criminal
docket of the Circuit Court of Mingo
county is now almost clear. Judge
Doolittle of Huntington, has just
completed two weeks term of court
at Williamson, and strange to say,
no one was sent to the penitentiary.
Three murder cases were tried and
numerous felony cases, but there
were no felony convictions. The
fact that the docket is almost cleared
is all the more note worthy, because
it has been but a short time since
the number of cases on the criminal
docket was almost equal to the num-
Der of voters in the county, a fact
widely commented upon at the time.
There must be some civiiizing in
tluence at work upon the tough ele-
ment of Mingo's population to bring
about such a change.

Go Hand in Hand.

a preacher recently said that a
newspaper that told the truth, and
the whole truth, couldn't be a pecu-
mary success. To which an exchange
replies as follows
s'The minister who will at all times
and under all circumstances, tell the
whole truth about his members, alive
or dead, might not occupy the pulpit
more than one Sunday, and in some
cases might find it convenient to leave
town. The press and the pulpit go
hand in hand with the white wash
brush and pleasant words, magnifying
little virtues into big ones. The pull
pit, the press and the grave stone are
the great saint making concerns"

lips of a gang of strong lunged stu

the one lone, innocent, unknowing,
defenseless woman who boarded a
southbound w. Va. & p train at
Clarksburg at the beginning of the
holiday season and was terror stricken
into her very soul by what Mark
Twain would probably call the ''skull
busting thunder of a semi-civilized
delegation from the State University
homeward bound for vacation. "Say

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
AgOnizing Appeal from a Stricken
Heart-Highly Original Poetry on an
old Sc 9ject-HOW one young man
Looks at the Case-Can she resist this
Plaintiye Appeal.

This paper does not make prac-
tice of publishing original poetry as
1T thinks there is enough misery in
the world without any addition from
this source but the following is a
real gem. 1t was handed in through
the medium of the postoffiee so the
identity of the writer must remain
shrouded in mystery. However
there is suspicion on the part of
the literary experts who have inspect
ed it that it is the work Of Alfred
Austin the post laureate of England.
There is a striking similarity in it
to the offences he has committed in
this line. Should the young man
not do so any more we promise not
to prosecute him for this offense.
The poetry and the note accompany
ing it are as follows verbatim ct lit
eratim ct punctuatim:

A HUSTLER.
c. |. Mcdonald is going to build
the Locks and Dams with
a Rush.


esting Article appears in the Dis
patch Several Errors in It--lt is Civ.
en- Below.
Mr. c. |, Mcdonald seems to be
in hurry to have everything fixed
for the beginning of the locks and
dams which he has in charge on the
river. From what has already been
seen OF his movements the slow pro
gress which has characterized the
building of the dams is thing of
the past. He will get them under
way and done as rapidly as possible.
In building the dams Of crushed
stone and cement very large guam
tity of cement will be needed.
The contract for this has been
made and it will soon begin to ar
rive here. The Plttsburg Dispatch
has very interesting article on the
subject which we give below. The
paper is in error regarding the large
ware house which has not yet been
begun but work will be started on
it Immediately. The amount of
money involved is also an error.
The Dispatch ARTICLES as follows:
A contract was closed yesterday
by James L. Bernard representing
the Atlas Cement Company, of New
York, for all the cement to be used
in the construction of the new locks
and dams in the Monongahela river.
c. l. Mcdonald is the contractor
who will build the dams for the
Government.
The deal between the New York
company and Contractor Mcdonald
involves over 100000 and the con
tract calls for the delivery of 200,-
600 barrels of Portland cement,
which will be used throughout the
concrete work in the river locks and
dams, from Nos. 10 to Is inclusive
Mr.. Mcdonald has commenced
the erection of a large warehouse at
Morgantown, where the cement will
be placed as it arrives from New
York. By the terms of the agree
ment the cement will be shipped
from the company's factory in lots
of 500 barrels, 100 barrels to car,
and will extend over the time of the
Government contract for the con-
struction of the locks and dams.
The Atlas Cement Company is
said to be the largest in the world,
having capacity of 10000 barrels
day. The company's representa-
tive, James L. Bernard, who has been
in Pittsburg for several weeks, said
last night that the daily output will
be increased to nearly 5000 barrels.
He stated that his contract with G..
/. Mcdonald was one of the largest
that his company has had for a long
time, and he anticipates no difficulty
in filling it, besides supplying the
regular trade.

the Accident Occurred.
Ten days ago Jerry Hoskins who
was a resident of this place was
drowned in the Little Kanawha river
about Z miles above Parkersburg.
His mother did not hear Of the sad
accident until within day or so.
The news came through letter from
Henry Snider, colored barber who
is known here but who is now located
at Parkersburg. He had heard of
the accident and wrote Mrs. Hoskins
about the matter. She is widow
and lives in the Sharks house on
Spruce street.
The news was great shock
to her and she had Frank Cox make
inquiries concerning it. He tele-
phoned to the police at Parkersburg
and they confirmed the report. The
accident happened while Hoskins
was crossing the river in skif He
was working on the Little kanawha
railroad which is being built up the
river to Parkersburg. So far as
could be learned no effort was made
to find his relatives or friends and
he was buried where the body was
recovered on the bank of the river.
More information will be forwarded
by the Parkersburg police as soon
as they can make an investigation.
The conduct of the people who bur
led the unfortunate young man with
such indecent haste is the subject of
much unfavorable comment on the
part Of the people about town who
are aware of the facts in the case.
The drowned man was well known
here and was an excellent young fell
low. He had severe attack of fever
in the summer. His mother has the
sympathy Of the community in her
bereavement.
