Cheat River X abroad.

Col. w. >. Gutfey, Of Pittsburg,
was here yesterday in consultation
with his attorneys, and arranging
Surther details for his Cheat River
Railroad.
He was very positive in his decla-
Tations that the road would shortly.
be built Surveys have been made
TO Parsons, Tucker County, where
a connection will be made with the
Dayis-Elkins system of over 125
miles of operated and highly profita
Die road. Most of the rights of way
have been secured, and that work is
being pushed with vigor. Col Guffey
IS the owner of 5000 acres of land
IN this County, on Cheat River, well
dimbered and with the big limestone
vein on it, which be expects to open
S1p for the Pittsburg market. He
also has several thousand acres of
coal lands under options on Big
sandy and other parts of Preston
County. He speaks in the most
positive terms as to the building of
this road, and is very enthusiastic
over the resources of the Cheat Riv-
ser to produce paying traffic.
We are glad to learn of the pros
poet which our friends in Union
District have of the early construc
zion of this railroad. It will pass
Cor about thirteen miles through that
District, and will draw trade and
travel from Tucker and Preston
Counties. 1t will pass within mile
from Reedsville, and three from Ma
esontown. 1t has large amount of
capital behind it. The Gutfey
Brothers are millioniares, having
made money in oil and gas, and in
silver and gold mining, and have
more money than they know what
TO do with.
But while this is a great project
for Union District, and the Cheat
Valley, and we hope it may succeed,
ct bodies no good for Morgan DIS
trict. It will bring no business OF
trade our way. 1t will on the other
hand take from us that which nat
urally belongs to us, the business of
the upper Decker's Creek Valley,
and Kingwood and its vicinity. We
can only save these to ourselves by
building the Morgantown and King
wood Railroad. We are at criti-
cal point in the history of this place.
IT we rest supinely upon our present
resources and means of transporta
ton we shall get left in the race for
success. If we fail to vote the rail
road subscription we shall not get
the Decker's Creek Road. We shall
cut ourselves off from one Of the
most fruitful sources of business
and means of wealth. Indeed this
is the only projected or possible
railroad that can come to Morgan
town. Another road may be built
on the West Side of the river, it
may leave the river at Jimtown or
Granville and 90 to Fairmont by
way of Laurel Point, to. get the
trade of that rich coal field, for there
is no coal available along the river
from Granville to point above Uf-
fington, a distance of about 6 or I
miles. Morgantown would derive
little benefit from such a road, if it
did not prove an absolute detriment
by diverting trade to points on the
road where mines and ovens were
established, and tlading centers and
company stores opened.
We had better stir ourselves and
build our own Decker's Creek road
before it is too late.

 SERVANT TO SEW tRD,
Aged Retainer ot the Famous Secretary
 Leaves Fortune.

Leaves 8 Fortune.
 William r. Butler, who served Will liam H. Seward for more than forty years in the capacity of body servant, has died In Brooklyn, worth some $75,- 900. He was 8 slave in his early life, but managed to buy his freedom. Com- ing to Washington he took a cookship in a restaurant, where he was when the secretary came across him. There was q certain quaint philosophy about the black man which was charming to the white. Butler was with Seward during the greater part of his public career, and on his death had saved sufficient to retire. The tips he had received from his master have been well followed. He purchased land in that part of the capital which Seward s knowledge of the city led him to be- lieye would soon be valuable. His small investment grew until the sum mentioned above is easily procurable. The fortune is left entirely to Miss Evangelina 2. Walker, of Brooklyn. Miss Walker is a young negress of 19, described as being of a light color, as straight as a poplar, and of a Cauea- sian cast of countennce She was godehild of Buffers, and having lived in the house with him since babyhoodt regarded him as a second father. She nursed him tenderly through the last two years of his life, in view of which those immediately interested are prone to believe that she is justly entitled to the bequest. Butler was not mar ried. but has several sisters, who may contest the will. Miss Walker Is well educated.

4 THREADBARE SUBJECZ

The manner in which the Dreyfus case is beiag conducted would excite mingled indignation and tempt in any other country in the world, except possibly Turkey Nor is It probable that the farce would be tolerated there for long, as the bow string would be promptly brought into play if this mode of settlement were considered the more polite. Indescribably base as it may appear to us, the mental attitude of French man toward the case may be made somewhat clearer by Q paragraph that occurs in recently publish ed letter written by Lieutenant Col. onel de Contenein, reputel to be one of the most honorable and distin. .guished officers Of the French army, and one who has been in no wise connected with the miserable af- fairs, Though he be Q thousand times innocent and his sufferings ever so heart-rending, said this off cer, "what is the even undeserged suffering of one man when com pared with the safety of France?" The sentiment is appalling to all just and honorable men, who will hold to the maxim Let Justice be done though the Heavens fall.'
 IL has been well said that the persecution of Dreyfus s a problem in physiology. "It does not pro- ceed from a state of facts but from a state of mind. Tue demolition of their alleged proofs does not in the least arouse the conscience of the prosecutors; on the contrary, it merely enrages them. la their conception it is an amazing imper- tinence on the part of the victim .o turn at tte altar and object to be- ing sacrificed. It does not appear wrong in their eyes to condemn an innocent man; but the endeavor to substitute the scoundrel Esterhazy, however disreputable he may have been, to quote General Bolsdeffre, is regarded as d abominable crime Justice to the individual is nothing in comparison with the safety of the Statel The doctrine is stupe- lying, but Captain Dreyfus and his friends the world over must be pre- pared to reckon with 1t.
 France is conyulsed in witnessing this pitiful drama, the actors ir which are comparatively friend less man ou the one hand, aud the tremendous anti-Semite and army influence on the other, Those in other countries who daily read the report of the proceedings are as founded not only at the manner in which the prosecutions is being con- dueted, but also at the sudden changes of sentiment, certainly in the audience and apparently in the judges. that mark the proceedings a motion of the hand, a shrug of the shoulder of a witpess driving them headIopg for or against the prisoner. We have said this is apparently so ia regard to the judges, for one is sometimes inclined to suspect that the verdict was agreed upon before the trial began and that the pro eeedings are comic or a tragic farce as the outcome may be.

somsbody Was 70 Blame.


 "Ah!" said Mir. Wtckleson, as he was hunting through the china closet for the screwdriver. that looks like a pretty nice cake, I guess I'll try a 1 piece of 1t.
 Then he looked around, to make surs i that neither his wife nor the hired girl was near, after which he cut off big piece of the angel food and gulped it down.
 A moment after he had succeeded in crowding the last bit through hia throat he began to hiceough, says the Cleveland Leader.
 Blame the luck exclaimed MT. Wiekleson, as he rushed to the ice chest and looked in. q wonder why they never keep any-htc-water on ice! If there'd been-hie-any here, might have stopped these con-hic- founded things"
 By the time he had succeeded in get ting the glass of water that he wanted the hiceoughs had got thoroughly un- der way, and, although he took nine big swallows without drawing bis breath, they wouldn't stop.
 Where's Mrs.-hic-W Wtckleson? % he asked the girl.
 She's next door, I think.
 "Why doesn't he-hic-stay at home when I'm here?" MT. WickIeson growI- ed as he went out and sat down on the front porch.
 For half an hour he sat there going 1t" like clock and cursing uck. He got sore across tho middle; remem- bered that he had recently read of a number Of people who had died of hie- coughs, and was as mad as a hornet when his wife finally returned.
 Why. Alfred" she said, whats the matter?"
 ".Hiccoughs! Don't you-hie-know hiccoughs when you hear 'em?'
 Have you tried holding your breath and counting fifty"
 "Ye-hic-esP'

 Well, don't get impatient. dear she said. q told you the other day that you ought to take something for your digestion. You're all run down. Ths hiccoughs prove that l was right Your stomach's out of order or you wouldn't have them"
 "Oh, don't make a--hic-fool of yourself, D retorted MT. WickIeson. My digestion hasn't anything to dc with 1t. If you and that fool girl knew how to run ings around a house maybe these troubles wouldn't come up. Why the dickens don't you have some place for your cakes and things where a person won't be finding them in front of him all the time? You haven any more idea how a house should be run than 9-year-old child. Or, at least, keep some water on ice, so that one can get drink without waiting to fix it up."
 "0h, see" Mrs. Wickleson return ed. Ut was all my fault. Well, I'm glad of 1t, anyway I'm glad I was to blame. If I hadn't been, you might not have had chance to become an- gry enough to forget to 'hie'!9

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Sooner or later the world comes round to see truth and do the right Hillsrd.
 There is no substitute for thorough going, ardent and sincere earnestness. Dickens.
 Not to be able to bear poverty is a shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away by work is a mora shameful thing yet-Pericles.
 It is by the goodness of God that we have the possession of three unspeak- ably precious things-freedom of speech freedom of conscience, and the prudence of using neither of them.- Mark Twain.
 Some men are very entertaining for first interview, but after that they are exhausted and run out; on a sec- ond meeting We shall find them very flat and monotonous; like hand or- gans, we have heard all their tunes Cotton.
 If religion is to be tried by any out ward test, that is surely to be found in the answer to the questioa, not how a man dies, but how he lives. It will be well for those who believe in Chris tianity to leave no advantage to the sceptic in that species of a-gument- Principal Caird.

A woman,s Expedient.

At the risk of her life, Mrs. Nathan
Allen of Kenosha tagged the fast mail
train at Evanston in order to be en-
abled to reach the bedside of her dying
daughter. She stood in the middle Of
the track as the train approached, wav-
ing a red-lined golf cape above her
head Engineer Menard saw her and
stopped his train just in time. my
child is dying in Kenosha," gasped the
woman 81 must get on this train
The conductor assented, and she
reached home in time.
Before resorting to this means OF
getting on board Mrs. Allen and her
husband had tried their best to induce.
the Northwestern officials to stop the
train for them. In reply to dispatch
to Division Superintendent Lawson in
Chicago for permission to stop the
heavy mail train, the answer was:
s'Iuch as we would like to accommo-
date from humanitarian standpoint,
it will mean the loss Of thousands of
dollars to the road, and it is absolutely
impossible to think Of tagging the.
O'Clock mail at Evanston
The next train by which the Aliens
could hope to reach Kenosha passed
through four hours later. Their child
would probably have passed away at
that time, without the solacing cares
of either parent during it's last hours.
Allen stood silently leaning against
the station, and failed to notice the
movements of his wife, but was
brought from his dazed condition few
moments later by rumble and roar
and the deafening screech of whistle,
mingled with the hurried clang of an
engine bell. Looking towards the
north end Of the platform. he was hor-
rified to see his wife standing in the
path Of the onrushing engine. Chica-

LOST IN GREAT CLOSED LAND.

Mrs. Ri3nhart's Desperate Experfen-
ces In Thfbet.
1t is strange that in these days OF ex-
ploration there should still be land
which has never been penetrated by
white man. Lhassa, the capital Of Til
bet is the one city on the face Of the.
earth which no stranger can enter.
This land Of mystery, whose locked
gates SO many brave men have tried to
open, is fourteen times as big as Eng
land, and Is three miles above the level
OF the sea. Its population Is about as
large as the population OF London.
Only one Englishman has ever been in
the sacred city Thomas Manning, who.
reached it in 1911. He was soon sent
back again, however, and since that.
time travellers and missionaries have
risked their lives in attempts to solve
the riddle Of the unknown land.
Mrs. Luce Rijnhart, the American
wife Of a Dutch missionary in China.
has reached the furthest point In Thi-
bet ever trodden by stranger, but she
has paid dearly for her courage. 1t was
Mrs. Rijnhart who, with her husband,
assisted Capt. Welby and Lieut.. NAL
colin, two English officers, In their re-
cent journey across Thibet, and since
then the missionary and his wife, with
their little boy, hardly more than q
year old, resolved to do what in them.
lay to carry the Gospel into the heart
OF this strange country. To-day Lucie'
Rijnhart is back in her home in little
village on the borders Of Manitoba, her
boylies in a lonely grave in wild Thi-
bet, and her husband she has lost for
ever in this world, unless a miracle,
brings him home again. For months
they travelled, singing hymns and dis
tributing Bibles, as they rode along the
mountain streams. Then their horses
were shot, their men left them, and
they were helpless and alone.
"On the day before yesterday writes
the brave wife, Tiny husband swan
across the river to get the people in
the tents to come with their animals to
our aid. He swan across and turned
on the bank to wave his hand at me.
Then he disappeared behind the rocks.

to come back, but he does not" And
now Lucie Rijnhart is alone in Mani
toba, her beautiful face worn with
grief, her child snatched from her, her
husband dead or worse than dead in
the Great Closed Land. What her hns
band is suffering must be difficult to
describe. The Thibetans are not mer-
ciful with strangers. "Intruders" are
made to ride on horseback on wood
en- saddle with high back from which
iron spikes stick out horizontally. or
to stand on a log of wood with their
legs thrust as wide apart as the
strength of five men can force them.
Redhot irons are held within an inch of
their eyes, guns are fired close to their
heads. and the rack is as common as in
the days Of the Inquisition. 1t is to be
hoped the brave missionary is dead,
rather than enduring the fortunes
which other travellers have suffered.
All efforts to find him have been in
vain, and Mrs. Rijnhart is mourning
him as the last of the martyrs Of Thi-
bet.
