murder of her husband, Squire
Ballard Creemeans, last November,
and that Miss Estella Creemeans
had mysteriously disappeared from
home, and that the neighbors be-

Most of the indebtedness is on

dorser. Mr.. Kirker was book keep
er, cashier and treasurer of the

ForDidden to Dent His Hat.


WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. 20
No more may the private soldier
knock dents in his campaign hat
or pin up flap of the brim on one
side. The regulation just issued
by the war department reads:
"The wearing of these hats in
any other than the original shape
is prohibited"
The original shape of the CAM
paign hat is on the Alpine order.
The privates have been used to
denting their hats so as to indicate
the command to which they be-
longed. 1t is expected that they
will not like the new orders.

a RECORD RUN
Made by the Ohio valley
Express.
OFF A MILE A
MINUTE
TO Get the Train Into Parkers-
burg on Time.


Engineer Ingraham, of the Park
ersburg- Kenova run Oh the Ohio
Valley Express, broke all records
for fast runs over the Ohio River
rond, Monday evening.
He was coming north from Ke-
nova with that train and was quite
a few minutes late in leaving Ke-
nova, having been held up on the
Norfolk & Western road,
Conductor Muncey told Ingra-
ham that they had several New
York passengers aboard and that
Parkersburg must be reached on
timein order that the express would
reach Pittsburg in time to make
the eastern connection.
That was all Engineer Ingraham
needed. Just as the train pulled
out of Huntington he determined
to make up all the lost time. He
told the fireman what he was going
to do, and the race began. He
pulled the throttle open and began
splitting the wind.
The engine itself seemed to en-
ter into the spirit of the race, The
train fairly flew past houses, trees,
hamlets, across bridges, around
curves. along straight stretches of
track, and yet the passengers were
riding SO easy that they did not
realize that they we're reeling off
miles at the rate of one minute.
Engineer Ingraham succeeded.
He made up the time between
Huntington and Point Pleasant,
but in doing SO he broke the Ohio
Riverroad record. He ran 81 miles
in 80 minutes and slowed down for
four crossings 1t was long and
fast run, much faster than some
people care to ride on railroads.-

The difference.

Gall girl chick, and she
smiles; call woman hen, and
she bowls. Call young woman a
witch, and she is pleased; call an
old woman a witch, and she is in
dignant. Call girl kitten, and
she rather likes it; call woman
a cat. and she'll hate you. Women
are queer. If you call a man gay
dog, it will fatter him. Gall him
a pup, hound or a our, and he will
alter thu map of your face. He
don't mind being called a bull or a
bear, and yet he will object to be-
ing mentioned as calf or cub.
Men are queer, too.

t4irls and BOYS

The Church is place to worship
God and not to carry on Airtations,
laugh and whisper and annoy those
who have gone there to hear what
Christ has done for us. We were
surprised to see some young girls
and boys carry OH as they did at
the M. E Church, South, last night.
True not many saw you, but Gods
eyes were upon you. If you can
not behave yourself while in the
house of God, you had better stay
at home. Shame on you. Now if
you go to church, listen with an
attentive ear to what is said and
conduct yourself in a proper man
ner. We do not like to rebuke
anyone, but it is wrong to do as
YOU did. A MEMBER.

this scared them out, and they gave
up the idea of hoboing that night,

time the police had been sent after
them and one or two of them were

do not lay me down by the rip
ping brookside lest the babbling
lovers wakeme from my dreams;
nor in the beautiful cemeteries in
the valley, lest sight-seers coming
over epitaphs distract me; but let
my sleep be under the counter of
the merchant and business men
generally who never advertise
There is the peace that passeth all
understanding, and deep sleep on
which neither the buoyant football
of youth nor the weary shuttle of
old age will ever intrude.
