lifetime of p III. Keck, one of the
most prominent lawyers that ever
practiced in this state.
Although very sick, still he was
grateful for the preservation of his

His patience, in his last illness, is
wonderful, as well as his firm belief
in the reunion of friends in another
sphere.
His example is worthy of recogni
ton and admiration.

PETTY OFFICERS
Arrest Railroad aen For Alleged In
fractions If the Law.

Messrs. Foot and Roberts, who are
the the two section bosses on the B. 81
O. main line near LittletOn, have
been having a great time with the
numerous slips in that section during
the past week. The slips have caused
them trouble in different ways. Be-
sides having to work with their men
very long hours 10 very disagreeable
manner, they have been compelled to
suffer the humiliation of being arrest
ed by country constable and march
ed with their men, Z in number,
about seven miles in the country to a
justice of the peace and tried for
working. As they were in the midst
of the work OF removing large slip
near Littleton and were hustling to
get it cleared away as soon as possible,
they were greatly surprised to find
that they were in the hands of Off
GERS of the law charged with obstruct-
ing the public highway with the earth
from the slip. The following day SUI
perintendent Ingle Malone appeared
on the scene to find out the trouble
when he too was taken up and bound
over with the rest of the crew to await
the action OF the circuit court.

The Better the Quality OF Woman's Ed

Of Marriage.

1T will not be complimentary TO
the men, but there seems at least d
semblance of truth in the statement
that the greater The quantity and
the better The quality of education
among women the less the chance
of marriage" writes Prot. ID. h. Nc.
Anally in the March Ladies Home
Journal. 1T has been shown con
clusively that college women marry
less than others. The explanation
OF this apparently anomalous condi-
ton may perhaps be found in the
fact that a large percentage OF col
lege bred woman educate them
selves tor the purpose Of becoming
teachers. L achers have not so good
an opportunity Of marriage as other
women-in fact, teachers in female
seminaries have hardly more pros

TWO CENTS
THE UNION MEETING.
Services are Brought to Con-
clusion on Sunday.

OF tile Meetings Is Satisfactory but Il
Is Regretted that They had to close
when They did Large Congregations
ut the ilnal Services.
The revival services were brought Ca
a close on Sunday evening. The evan
gelist was forced to leave here and the
meetings In consequence were brought
to rather an abrupt close just about
the time that the interest began to
manifest itself.
The Sunday afternoon services for
men were rather we'll attended al
though the crowd was not as large as
expected owing TO the weather. The
Evangelist gave a rather extended
talk on the sins that beset every
one and the way true repentance
shows itself. He preached for an hour
and half and at the close OF the ser.
vices two young men went forward ais
a testimony that they intended here
after TO lead better lives.
At night there was close to one
thousand people in the chapel hall.
The churches OF town had all suspend
ed and the congregations attended On
masse. The further fact that 1t was
the last night Of the meeting brought
number Of people. The service was
a very interesting one and great
deal OF religious feeling was shown at
the close daring a song service.
The church people were given q
number of roasts by the speaker and
they were shown how they should diff
fer from the world and not compro-
mise with sin and worldiness. A
christian must not be broad but must
necessarily be narrow il he wanted to
enter the kingdom OF Heaven.
1t was stated that out OF the total
number of professed christians but
small number Of them were really alive
to their duties and dead 10 the world
Some Of the points were we'll made
and struck home. The Illustrations
were clear and simple and every one
appreciated them. The speaker ham
mered each separate point into the
minds Of his hearers until they had no
excuse for not taking them up.
In taking farewell OF the people he
was visibly touched and many Of the
congregation pressed forward to take
him by the hand and wish him God
speed on his way.
The meetings have been under the
auspices Of the University Y. NJ. G. a.
and the several churches Of the town.

Heating Material-Notes about the
Br;lding.
The heaters of the public school
building have been tested by the school
board and they have been found to
work as well if not better than they
were guaranteed to work by the
makers. The test was very salts
factory one and gave great deal of
satisfaction to the board.
The johnson Electric company
which had put in the registers and
the thermostats were represented by
Mr.. Becker and the Wills Heater COM
pany by Mr.. Dobbins. These gentle
men made the tests.
1t was found that the rooms could
be so heated that none of them varied
more than two degrees from the stand
dard. This it is claimed can be even
more closely Appropriated in very cold
weather In warm weather it is
harder to get them to work in the
right way.
As result of the test the board ac-
cepted the heaters and paid another
part Of the price agreed upon between
them and the companies interested.
Twenty per cent was retained as a
further security for the board in case
the plant should afterwards show that
it is not what the makers claim for
it. This is in accordance with the
agreement.
The company agrees to keep the
plant in first class condition for two
years and to send man at any time
that anything may be out of order in
that time to fix it. They will how
ever receive the rest of their money
in ninety days.
The heaters and sentilators are SO
arranged that the air in the rooms is
changed every eight minutes and fresh
air takes the place of the yitiated air.
This will always insure the children
to have plenty OF oxygen.

this is better for the purpose than

asserted by members of the board.
All arrangements are being made to
get the building in readiness for occu-
pancy by the first of next month when

NATIONAL INTEREST
Is Being Taken in the Contest
of Hon. John T. McGraw

Against Hon. n. Il. SCOTS Claim that
He is a Senator From West Virginia
MIR. M'Graw Will Leave No Stone
Unturned, aud viii Make the Most
Vigorous Fight in the Upper House
of Congress.
WASHINGTON, d. C., March O.
With the close OF the Fifty fifth Con
gress the country is commencing to
look forward to the makeup of the
Fifty sixth. and in this connection
the fight Of Johh T. McGraw, back
ed by the Democratic party OF West
Virginia, is beginning to assume
national interest. Perhaps there
was no Senatorial election in the
whole country, with the exception
of the bitter fight still going on in
Pennsylvania, that attracted more
interest than did the McGraw- Scott
fight for the Senatorsnip of West
Virginia; and now that McGraw is
protesting against the seating of
Scott on the ground that his election
was illegal the attention of the ma
tional Legislators who will compose
the Fifty sixth Congress is again
being centered on the West Virginia
Senatorial situation.
Many of those who are not con-
versant with the case that McGraw
has made out against Scott and are
not aware Of the nature OF the pro
test made have been inclined to
doubt that the fight would result in
the unseating of Scott, even if push
ed vigorously. They point to the
recent case of Senator Hanna, of
Ohio, against whom there was a
clearly proven case of attempted brib-
cry, and state that the charges made
by McGraw against the validity of
Scott's election will be smothered ON
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections OF the Senate and dropped
The case against Scott will be push
ed and protested vigorously Nc
Graw has declared his intention of
leaving no stone untnrned in his at
tempt TO keep the United States
Senate from seating Scott as the
Senator from West Virginia. With
in the past month he has been in
almost daily communication with
the national leaders of the Demo
cracy at Washington and during
that time has been in Washington a
half dozen times giving the case his
personal supervision During the
coming summer the well known at
torneys, John Fl. Holt, Henry M.
Russell and John Brannon, of West
Virginia, also Messrs Wells and
Bennett, of the Congressional In
formation Bureau, of this city, will
be engaged in searching the statute
books for precedents and in sub
Stimulating the grounds OF the pro-
test now before the Senate. In adj
dition to this number Of the Dem
ocratic Senators have promised
their hearty assistance in every way
not prescribed by Senatorial Ell
quette. Senator Mallory. of Florida,
who is looked upon as one of the
ablest men in the Senate, will have
the case more especially in charge
and has promised to look out for the
interests of the West Virginia Dem
ocrats in the struggle.
1t was the consensus OF opinion
that the fight will be one Of unusual
interest and one involving the de
termination by the Senate of ques-
tions of the gravest import.
