A BABE IN THE WOODS
For Two Days and nights Little Alta
Kraft Wandered Alone.
Parkersburg journal.

Alta Kraft, an eleven year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G Kraft,
Of Kraft's Station, wandered away
from her home last Thursday about
noon and was not found till yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock.
The child is subject to fits and per-
iods Of mental alteration. 1t was
while in this condition that she es-
capped the vigilance of her family,
and disappeared from her home.
While in this condition she had a
penchant for hiding herself away from
her family and they are compelled,
on this account, TO closely watch her
actions. Despite their strict obser-
vance little Alta escaped and wand
cred away Tuesday at noon and was
gone till Thursday at a. m. During
her absence the men, women and
boys at Kraft's turned out and search
ed the country for the missing child
for several miles around.
Yesterday morning at o'clock she
appeared at farm house several miles
east OF her home and was taken care
of there, till her father was notified
and came for her.
The child wandered about in the
woods all day Tuesday afternoon and
night and Wednesday afternoon and
night. She had not bite to eat, al
though she ate hearty dinner just
prior to her going way. When found
she was pale and thin and nearly
starved. No other mishap luckily
had befallen her, however.
Her parents were overjoyed at her
safe return.

SERIOUS RIOTS.
Spanivrds at Porto Rico Kill a
Lot of Natives.

ST. THOMAS, w. l. July 20--Serious
riots have occurred at Mayaguez, Porto
Rico. The Spaniards are attacking
the natives declaring that they are
American sympathizers. Nine have
been killed and scores wounded. Some
of the wounded are dying and many
cannot recover. Should this policy
be continued BY the Spanish, the
Americans will get a great deal of aid
from the disafiected natives when they
attack the island A reign of terror
may ensue.

GARCIA. LEFT.
Serious row on between him and
Shafter.

Americans Refuse to allow the Town to
be Pillaged-Garcia goes away in a
HUFF to see GOmez-The Breach may
not be easily healed.
New York. July 20-A Santiago
dispatch to the Journal says that
Garcia has become very angry at the
treatment accorded him and has
gone to consult Gomez. The result
of the meeting may be a serious
breach between the Americans and
the Cubans.
The cause of the row was the re-
fusal of Gen Shafter to allow the
Cubans to sack the town after the
surrender. Their excuses after the
capture of several other towns led
to this refusal. No Cubans will be
allowed to enter Santiago until ev-
erything is settled.

SOME TRUE WORDS.
The Wheeling Intelligencer comments
ON Henry MOrgan's Death.

Mr.. Morgan was best known per-
haps in the journalistic and political
circles of the state. His long con
nection with the Post, as one of the
editors and publishers, gave him a
large acquaintance throughout West
Virginia, Notwithstanding he devo-
ted his entire time to his duties at
home and was seldom seen outside
of Morgantown. The Post has been
the Republican newspaper authority
in Monongalia county duringalmost
the entire lifetime of the party, and
has been a powerful force in helping
to keep that county in the Republi-
can ranks, for it is one of the safely
reliable counties in that respect in
the state
Mr. Morgan's genial disposition,
sterling integrity and uprightness of
character made him one of the most
popular citizens of Morgantown, and
few men enjoyed larger circle of
personal friends than he. Messrs.
Harry and b. S. Mcclure left last
night for Morgantown to attend the
funeral.

NO OMAHA STAMPS.
The Department is Unable to Furnish
them and Has Cancelled the Order
of the Local Postmaster.

There will be no Omaha Exposi-
ton stamps received at the local office
for some time. The order that the
postmaster has sent in has been can
celled as the department has been
unable to fill it and they say there is
no telling when they will be able to
furnish the kind of stamps wanted.
The reason for the failure is the
great rush there is on to get revenue
stamps enough to keep the country
going. The rush for these is away
beyond what was expected and the
printing and engraving department
is working night and day to catch
up with the orders on hand. This
takes their entire attention and they
haven't time to prin the special is
sue of stamps in honor of the Omaha
Exposition,

There have been rumors afioat to
the effect that the dead man made
his will on the last of the week in
preparation for the events which he
had then decided were to follow
There has nothing of the kind been
done or if he has done it his lawyers
do not know of it. What he did do
was to have some deeds fixed up
which he had made four years ago
In 1894 he went to Frank Cox and
had deeds made out for the home he
occupied making it over to Frank
Cox as trustee for Mrs. Morgan. AT
ter all these years he wanted the
transaction finished and he went to
Cox several days ago telling him he
wanted everything finished about
the deeds. This was done and the
property was at once transferred by
Cox to Mrs. Morgan. This was done
last week.
The printing office and property
owned by him were not disturbed and
nothing was made over except the
home. The estate is said to be worth
ten Thousand dollars by those who
know and there is d policy of two
thousand dollars held in the Knights
Of Honor Of which he was member.
Should no will exist and there is none
known to exist the property will go to
his heirs in accordance with law.
