far as Belington, Barbour county, at
which point the road will be in opera
ton soon. The route from Morgan
town will be by way Of Reedsville,

Death Of Helen L, Manning

Word was received during the week
of the death, Sunday night, of Miss
Helen Manning at Roxbury, Massac chus-
etts, where she has been for months
making her home.
Miss Manning, who will be remem.
bered by nearly all except the youngest
residents of the city and the late arriv.
ais, was very bright, intellectual wo-
man, clear and independent thinker
and good writer. She was an excel
lent stenographer, and after her health
failed and she was compelled to leave
Owosso she spent several years as
stenographer at the Battle Creek Sani-
tarium, taking treatment at the same
time. Since then she has spent most
of her time in the vicinity of Boston,
where she died, supporting herself by
clerical work, and writing much for the
religious press and for other papers as
well. Many readers of The TINES will
be able to recall sketches from her pen
which have appeared in these pages.

old resident of Morrice, died at his
home Sunday. The funeral services
were held at the family residence,

Mr.. Wells was born in New York

age when he came to M ichigan, having
married some five years before and
having two daughters when he came
here. After settling on a farm in An.

gan he had sailed the lakes and had
commanded several vessels, but he
abandoned the work for farm life. In
1878 he moved to the farm which was
his home for twenty-six years, until
the time of his death. Mrs. Wells died
about seven years ago. He is survived
however by six of his children.
Mr.. Wells was an earnest temperance
worker and man who always had a
thought for the welfare of others. He
was in every way a good citizen and

INDIGO INDUSTRY MENAcED.
Cannot Compete With Dyes Produced by
Modern Chemistry.

The great indigo industry in Behar,
which gives employment to hundreds
Of thousands of families in one Of the
most populous districts in northern In
dia, is threatened with destruction.
twenty-five millions of dollars or more
are invested in it, and the situation
promises to assume the proportions of
a public calamity. The Behar plant
ters, who swn the lands and cultivate
mainly Mt their own risk, about twenty
five years ago formed an association, In
ccnc,rt with the government, which
established almost ideal relations be-
tween the landowners, the cultlvators,
and the factories, and has enjoyed
ever since an uncommon share of peace
and prosperity. Now 1t is threatened
with ruin because of the competition
Of the cheap aniline dyes produced by
modern chemistry. For many years
the Behar indigo held its own by yir-
tue of Its superiority in color and per-
manenee TO the artificial product, but
1t is now claimed that true and pure
indigo has been chemically produced.
AS far back as 1881 Prof. ". Bayer
showed how to build up indigo synthe-
tically from Its component parts. But
after years of costly experiment 1t was
not found possible to produce indigo
commercially BIZ his method. In 1890,
However; Prof. Heumann of Zurich
carried the research q step forward,
and finally, in 1897, artificial indigo
was bought upon the market at price
capable of competing with the natural
article. The manufacture has now
been taken up by the largest color
works in the world, and the planters in
Behar find themselves powerless to
contend against IN article at once
equal to and cheaper than their own,
and independent Of transportation.

CREED OF THE puNKARps.
It Prevents Farmer From Taking Baoh
IN Horse Stolen From Him,

/
It Prevents Farmor From Taking Back
S-o~':a Horse Stoien From Him.
The refusal of Dunkard farmer to
rec i've back q horse that had beon
stolen from him, created deal of dis
cussion in the region surrounding
Church town. Penn, where nearly
every farmer belongs 10 religious
sect. The farmer whose horse was
stolen made no effort at all to recover
the beast. He did not make his loss
known to his neighbors until they
had inquired what had become of his
big roam. Then he said that one
night somebody broke open his stable
door and took the horse, but nothing
else. The news soon spread and q
township constable captured the ami
NAL on the Welsh mountain, but the
thief escaped. When the constable
took the horse back to the owner,
the farmer said:
'J do, not want the horse. The
man who took it must have more use
fcry the: animal than had or he would
| not have been driven Ito steal. Give
it back to him. If he wants my
harness aud wagon, let him have
them also.
The farmer was a man of his word,
and the horse was -lel away, and is
still in possession of the constable.
Strangely enough, nearly every man
belonging to his special sect approves
his action. They refer to the Bible
Us their authority. One passage cited
is Matthew V: 4u: "And if any man
Will sue you at the law and take away
thy, coatlet him have thy cloak also. "
As these sects never 60 to law, they
simply believe that if any man takes
their coat they should also freely
give their cloak; or if any ono takes
their horse, they should also let him
have tLeir wagon. Once thing is
stolen from them they will never re-
ceire it back as their property.
| The same thing holds good with the
women folks. They would not think
of receiving back again any property
stolen from them, nor do they want
any one to pursue thief, or to have
any one hanl1 in his punishment No
matter how much farmer may owe
on his land, he will bear his losses by
theft without a murmur. The farmers
of these sects sometimes go into debt
when bnying land In almost every
thing else they pay as they go.
| The question IS TO receiving back q
stolen horse has created a division in
some!of the other:sects, however. The
people who favor receiving back the
stolen animal argue that the Bible
does not say that where thief steals
your property you shall not receive it
back; that not to take back stolen
goods and not to punish thieves, is
simply encouraging and inviting such
crime; anu that it is wrong for mau
in debt not to take back stolen
property which he cannot afford to
lose, and which may interfere with
him in the payment of his interest
money.
