A PRISONERS DASH.
For Liberty---He Jumps from a Train
Going so Miles an Hour.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Feb. 10
James Finley, charged with violating
the pension laws, was arrested yes
terday at Phillip, by Deputy Marshal
Law.
Last night Marshal Law started to
Parkersburg from Grafton with his
prisoner over the Baltimore 81 Ohio,
and when several miles east of here,
Finley asked permission to go to the
toilet room. He was permitted to
do so as the train was going fifty
miles an hour. Not returning an in
vestigation disclosed the fact that he
had jumped out of the window of the
flying train. Marshal Law got off
here, and returning on another train
found his prisoner lying along the
railroad unconscious, but still alive
He was taken to Parkersburg to-day,
but it is not thought he will recover.

Items of Interests from the FairmOnt
West Yirginian.

Judge John Mason visited both
the Nonongalia and Taylor courts
this week.
The authorities are having the
names of our streets placed on the
corners of same throughout the
town. A good thing It should have
been done sooner.
Last Sunday little Miss Jessie
Jamison, the three year-old daugh-
ter of Dr. and Mrs J. A. Jamison,
fell off sofa and dislocated her ell
bow. The little patient is dong as
well as could be expected.
His Honor, Judge j. NJ Hagans,
is holding Court at Morgantown and
is said to be looking well. We are
glad to hear this, and it will be most
gratifying news to all our readers.
Judge Hagans was SO very i'll few
months ago that no one ever expects
ed to see him on the bench again.
He looks now, we are told, like he
would be useful among us for many
years to come. SO mote it be.
Mr.. Dayton's bill providing for
two Federal districts in this State is
meeting with vigorous opposition.
Protests against it are going to
Washington from all directions. The
State Bar Association approved
it at its late meeting in Morgantown,
yet this, it seems, did not represent
the feeling of the lawyers through
out the State. One hundred and
sixty of these have signed petitions
and sent them to Congress, asking it
not to pass the bill, and no doubt
many others will be heard from. The
bar of this county is almost unani-
mously opposed to it. AS Judge
jackson is perfectly willing to still
do the business of the State, it looks
like this should strange the meas
ure. 1t is wholly unnecessary and
should not have been thought of.

CUTTING ALL DONE.
The Hum of The Thresher is Begin
ming to be Heard.

The greater part of the cutting of
the grain in the fields about the coun-
ty was done last week and by Sun
day there were only few acres here
and there left standing. The grain
ripened very evenly this year which
was great advantage, but the farm
ers were at somewhat of a disadvan-
tage from the fact that all the grain
seemed ready to cut at one time,
As rule the grain was very clear
from weeds this year. 1t stood
up we'll from the fac1 that the cool
damp weather of the spring allowed
it to grow far spreading roots and a
strong stalk without being rank.
There was not a asuspicion of rust any
where nor were pests of any kind
present in the grain. The wheat will
all grade No, Northern, and the oats
and barley are well-flled. With all
these favorable conditions, some good
yields will be reported as threshing
progresses.
Farmers have pl nted mores corn
than usual this year aud it is matur-
ing very rapidly and will be we'll out
of danger from frosts in two to three
weeks. With corn which will ripen
in this northern latitude, the raising
Of stock should become more general
and thus more opportunity will be
given for diversified farming.

rIuIIen and Burpee to Conduct Gents
Furnishing Goods Business.

Negotiations have been pending for

Burpee, of the firm of Burpee & Nor
rison, disposes of his interest in The
TRIBUNE to the latter partner, and
enters into new partnership with
Frank Mullen, to conduct gents
furnishing goods business. Last week
the transfer was made, and as may
be seen by the dissolution notice else
where published, the entire owner
ship and management of HE IRI-
BUNa passes into the hands of j. q.

The new firm of Mullen & Burpee
have already purchased took of
goods from Chicago and the twin
cities, and will open up their business
in the building now occupied by 5. j.
Stebbins g. Co. as soon as the latter
moves to his new building. Their
stock will consist of boots AID shoes,
rubbers, overshoes, and gents fur
nlshing goods, exclusive of clothing.
There is evidently an opening for
this kind of store in this village.

duct it are good up-to-date business
men, who would make a success of
any business. The TRIBUNE wishes

RAILROAD RUnORS.
Story That rlorris is to Lose Its Day
Train Affirmed and Denied.


There is a rumor current thai the
day train on the Great Northern is to
be run out on the Watertown division
from Benson instead of coming to
Morris. Day service between here
and the cities is to be supplied by the
Browns Valley train running through
to Benson and there connecting with
what is the present Morris train as the
latter comes in from the west.
The rumor is quite plausible on the
face of it, but is denied at the local
station. If the present train is taken
off then it would seem necessary to
keep switching engine here to tend
to the local work AS it is now, the
engine of the day train is here a good
ly portion of the time and does the
switching.
1t will he very unfortunate for Nor
ris if the change is made. Morris
people would ways be disconnected
by the change Of cars at Benson.
More than that the Browns Valley
train would very likely be late often
during the winter and so miss its con
nection at Benson and Morris would
have no communication with the
cities.

StanleY'S Cat.

AS the bonds of friendship are strengthened by heavy afflictiOn, so does a prolonged sojourn in foreign places, amid strange scenes, turn the most common of everyday sights at home into luXuries. A magazine tells a story of Henry NJ. Stanley, who. af- ter his return from Africa, was busily engaged in writing his story of the Dark Continent"
 He used to spread his reference maps upon the floor of his room, and on this particular day, after searching in his near neighborhood for chart which he much needed he spoke to his assist ant, who presently deserted it near the fireside, with Stanley's favorite cat upon 1t asleep.
 He started to turn the intruder off. when the great man interrupted him. saying:
 'Never mind; don't disturb the cat. I'll get along without the chart until the cat wakes up. If you only knew how good the sight of that domestic cat curled up in front of that bright English fire Is to me, you would never chase her away"
 The cat slUmbered on, and not until she arose with lazy yawn, scratching her front nails on the rug as she stretched, did the famous explorer reach for his map.

Bell Weighing 9S Tons

For some time past there has been q sort of deal heat between the two big gest bells in the world, the one at the Cathedral in Moscow and the other at the unfinished pagOda of Mengoon, a little north of Mandalay, across the river If the former was the bigger of the two, 1t was cracked, and, therefore, useless as a bell, while the latter, though whole, had dragged it's SUD- ports down till it rested on the ground and would not emit a sound. Now, however, it has been reswung, and can claim attention as the biggest bell, ir working order, in the world. It aver ages over foot in thickness. The bell itself is over twelve feet high, and the shackle, which was intended for logs of timber, about twelve feet, The pin in the shackle has a diameter of six teen inches. The bell was cast about the beginning of the century by King Bodaw-paya as an accompaniment to the huge brick pagOda which he never finished. It is said to have been cast on an island and rafted across. No proper means yet exist for striking the bell, but when hit with heavy piece of wood it gives a deep, vibrating boom.- New York Journal.

eEcI AIMING AN ARID WASTE.
ureavatinc the Irrigating Canal in
 Arizona Built Ages Ago.

| ~-- Arizona Built Ages Ago.
 .During my last visit to Arizona sew in the Salt River valley sight that would strike stranger as queer" said A New York man who makes an occasional visit to the far West. "A steam dredging scow, such as Is used in deepening rivers and harbors for navigation, was voyaging slowly and steadily through a wide strip of arid desert. It had started landward from Salt River and was excavating its own channel ahead, the river waters follow ing and floating it as 1t advanced. But the work done was not, in fact, the making of a new channel, but the dig ging out of an old one, the irrigating canal made by a civilized people that lived and flouriShed and departed be- fore recorded American history began.
 "That there was a time when this wide valley, now being again redeemed to man, was a garden of plenty, teem- ing with habitants, is shown by the extensive and regular system of broad canals leading from the river, through which water for irrigation was con- veyed out upon the cultivated lands. These canals, though choked for cen turies with drifting sand and earth, still are plainly indicated on the face of the ground, and so skillfully were they planned and built that modern en- gineering science applied to irrigation haip course and restore them.
 "The region was we'll chosen by the primitive canal builders as a land of habitation. The climate is dry, sunny and even of temperature, and the arid earth, at the touch of water, becomes fertile and productive. Here the april cots and oranges ripen long in advance of those fruits in California and Flor ida, and are of rare quality. What race laid out the canals and built the towns whose ruins are strung along the valley is question not yet settled by archae- ologists. AztecS or Toltecs, or each na- ton in turn, probably tarried here in their centuries long migrations south ward to the valley of Mexico, and the rulnS may De or an older people than either of these.
 "Near Mesa, in this valley, six miles east of Tempe, is particularly strange and impressive ruin, the ruin of an i'm mense building, now fallen into a mound-like heap, covering an area of two acres. Its walls were of the fash ion the Mexicans call cajones, built up compactly without layers or joints. It is believed that the material used was clay mixed with cactus juice, which hardened into a cement as durable al- most as rock. The settlers in the valley come long distances to the ruin to get this material, which they use in mak- ing mortar for house-building, pulver- izing 1t, and then mixing it with water, as they would lime New York Sun.
