Constable jackson and the Cow.

Judge Chesney sent Constable George
Washington Jackson nine miles into
the country yesterday to replevin
COW. Jackson made the trip and found
the COW and attached her by process
of law and also by the end of a rope.
Constable Jackson started for town,
nine miles away, leading the COW. She
would turn in at every gateway and
stop to eat of every bunch of grass, to
drink at every stream and last of all
got playful and with head lowered and
horns bristling chased Jackson a mile
in the wrong direction. Jackson finally
got the COW into town but he is in no
way attached to her.

SOCIETY NEWS.

Mrs. L. H. Cranden and daughters,
Birdena and Amy, who have Just re-
turned from an extensive European
trip, have many interesting things to
relate. Miss CrandelI went to Italy
two years ago with a party of Topeka
people and decided to remain in Flor
ence and devote her time to music; she
was Joined year later by her mother
and sister.
Miss CrandelPs musical studies were
suddenly stopped by a serious throat
trouble, and since then their time has
been spent in travelling. They visited
Rome, Naples, Milan, Gibraltar, Mt.
Vesuvius and many other interesting
places; the day Miss Crandel visited
Mt. VeSuViuS was exceptionally clear
and in the company of a guide she
reached the very summit The guide
takes the tourist by the hand and after
one short look over the edge of the era
ter at the Seeth1nS mass of fire below,
makes him run quite a distance very
swiftly in order not to breathe the sui
phurOus fumes.
A week they spent in Venice but
when it rained they left as do nearly
all the tourists They Travelled through
Switzerland, France and England and
the only place where they were treated
with the least discOUrtesy after the
broke out, was in Paris. The Ital-
ianS had a quaint way of expressing
their opinion on the war question; they
would smile, shrug their shoulders and
ed to get good cup of coffee for moth
ing. The English treated them with an
unusual amount of Difference. They
were in London at the time of Glad
stones death and the entire city was in
mourning.
For two days before the funeral the
coffin was on view in Westminster hall
and at o'clock in the morning it was
estimated that there were three thou
sand people in line waiting their turn
to see it; the people passed through at
the rate of 200 a minute. The funeral
was private and no one could go except
by special invitation; he was buried in
Westminster Abbey at the feet of a
statue of Lord Beaconsfield, who in life
was one of his bitterest enemies.
The queen had left for her summer
quarters so they visited the state
apartments at Windsor Castle. From
London they made a number of side
trips; to Hampton Court, the home OF
Cardinal Wolsey the Crystal palace,
the home of Anne Hathaway and many
others. Anne HathaWay's home is in
charge of an aged woman, who claims
TO be d descendant of hers; to the
amusement of the tourists she keeps
reiterating in d quavering voice,
We've all lived and died here"
They passed through six different
custom houses without any trouble and
with only one amusing experience.
Three trunks they expressed from Flor
ence to London and upon examining
the bill there was an item for two shill-
derstand and was told by the official
that it was for picking the locks, he
said, You did not send any keys and
we were Obliged to pick the locks"

in the Baptist church in the morning
at eleven. The sermon will be
preached by President Barnes of the
NJ. p. conference. The attendance of

At night The Woman's League OF

Mistaken ECONOMY.

People frequently call on us to have
sale bills printed who seem to think
that from fifteen to fifty will be an
abundant supply. They can hardly
make greater mistake. The cost OF
fifty bills is very nearly the same as
that of a hundred, and the value of
fifty is not likely, il piece Of real es-
tate or other valuable property is to be
sold, is not more than half as much as
that of one hundred. Ii you want
property TO sell well and bidding to be
brisk you want it to be widely adj
vertised and large crowd gathered.
Cents saved in the advertising of a.
sale often means dollars lost in the
sale.

Checked ON Bogus Money.

The latest scheme to pull another's
leg has been instituted here by a
stranger. He called upon a certain
well known firm and placed sixty
dollars in their safe for safe keep
ing. The money was neatly rolled
and enclosed in an envelope with
the amount written on the outside.
In day or so the firm received an
order from the fellow for $15 on ac-
count and, of course, he got the mon
ey. A day or two afterwards anoth-
er order came for So. This time an
er one of the firm happened to get
hold of the order and concluded he
would see how much money the fell
low really had in their safe. He
opened the envelope, unrolled the
bills and ascertained that it con-
sisted of fifty dollar counterfeit
bill and also ten dollar bin Of the
same bogus money. 1t is needless
to add that the fellows order was
not honored, nor has he been heard
of since.-Clarksburg Mail.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Greenbrier ounty Boys Unearth a
skeleton.

Last week a skeleton was discover
ed in q ledge OF rocks near the home
of VIM. Leslie, about 2 1-2 miles
below Ronceverte, not far from the
Sulphur Spring, between the Smiths
mill road and the river Mr.. Leslie's
boys ran a rabbit into a hole in the
ledge, and one of the boys in trying
to twist the rabbit out with stick
brought the skull to light.
Next day Mr.. Leslie, Chas. Beckner
and w. II. Leach visited the spot and
made an examination. They found
that the skeleton was nearly all there,
mixed with the bones of a dog. The
bones were gathered up and brought
to Ronceyerte, where they were ex-
amined by physicians and Others of
the place Drs. Gates and Shields
were Of opinion that the bones were
that of an Indian and had been bur-
ried for perhaps hundred years. A
buckh9rn knife handle was found
among the bones. Owing TO the skull
being in a dry sheltered spot under a
solid overhanging rock, it was in very
were much decayed and crumbled.
The jaw bone still held two teeth,
indicating an aged person. The fact
that the body had been placed in the
rift of rocks seems TO Indicate that it
was temporary burial.
1t seems probable that band of
Indians on journey camped near the
spring, it being favorite stopping
place with them. Here the Indian
died, perhaps from wound received
in a battle with the whites. His
body was wrapped up and placed I'M
der the ledge of rocks, his favorite dog
was killed and placed with him,
together with his weapons, and the
burial place closed with rocks to
await more favorable opportunity of
transferring it to his native settle
ment.

MEMORIAL SERVICE.
For the Students Who Died In the War
to be Held Next Sunday.

The memorial service which has
been ia contemplation ut the Univer
sity for some time, in honor OF the
students who died in the late war, is
now definitely fixed for next Sunday.
Next Sunday is the day appointed
by the National Memorial Committee
for honoring the memory of those who
died in the Spanish-American war;
and all the churches Of the land are
invited to hold special services appro-
pirate to the occasion. The Univer-
sity services will accordingly be held
on that day.
If the pastors Of the several
churches will agree a union service
will be held at Commencement hall
or rather, all the congregations of the
town will take part in the special
service at the University. But in
any event, the citizens of the town
will probably very generally attend
that service.
A very entertaining program has
been prepared for the University SER
vice, at which number of persons
over the state, including the friends
of the deceased students will be pres
ent, and representative men from
these localities will make short adj
dresses.
Appropriate music will be one of
the features, together with other ex-
ercises of an impressive character.

as Omaha. and his unique and strong
report, which comes from classic
Williamsport, should make his line
the only route, for which all loyal
men should shout. He says that 10,
sometimes IS, big coaches vestibuled

hour by engines of tremendous power
and tells us when we wish to go from

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
The Largest Cut Glass Bowls Ever
Made In the World We're Made i'm
Wheeling.

Wheeling Register.
The following Associated Press tele-
gram was sent out from Toledo Tues
day
TOLEDO, O., November 22.-The
workmen of the Libby Glass Company,
Of this city, have just completed the
largest cut glass bowl ever made in the
world for presentation to President
Mckinley. 1t weighs over seventy
five pounds. A. d. Libby and dele
cation of the workingmen go to
Washington on Tuesday, when the
bowl will be presented.
This is a ssslight" error. Fifty
years ago two cut glass bowls were
made in this city, each weighing
between 600 and 700 pounds, by the
late Michael Sweeney. One was pre-.
sented to Henry Clay, and the other
stands over the grave of Mr.. Rweeney,
in Greenwood cemetery, as monu-
ment.
