BIG SALE
or Timber Lands In Valley District,
Preston County,

Another big deal has been made
up the Nj. & X. and more indus.
tries are to be located on that road
at once. The deal referred to is
the sale by Mr.. A. c. Oliver of a
great deal of timber land to II. c..
Huston and J. l.. Kendall of Con-
nellsville. The consideration was
fifty thousand dollars.
This timber was bought by Mr..
Oliver from DIR. Cobun, E. NJ.
Hartley and others last June for
$40, 900. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Oliver made 5000 by the trans
action. The timber is on what is
known as the Falls track which has
been owned by the Pennock heirs,
OF Philadelphia, since 1912 and was
sold by them to the Masontown
parties of whom Mr.. Oliver bought
it.
The land is still owned by the
Masontown people. Messrs. Hus-
ton and Kendall are wealthy timber
operators. They will build their
own railroad from a junction with
the NJ. & X. through to Masontown
nearly reaching Reedsville. Several
large mills will be put in at once.
With the advent of these improve
ments that end of Preston county
will be helped a great deal and
much Of the good viii! also be ex-
pericuced in Morgantown which will
be made the base Of operations.
Mr.. Oliver retains over 3,ooc
acres OF timber after the safe for the
operation of his own mills. OF the
lands he has, 1000 acres were pur.
chased of Mr.. Sturgiss. These
mills have a large capacity and will
be operated for many years before
the timber is all exhausted Daily

Indignation Meeting at Newburg.

Special correspondence Of The Argus
After the assassination of President Nc
kinley, the report was circulated that w.
X. Stewart, of our town, remarked that
"Mekinley sh0nId haze been shot" and a
great many other remarks Of that kind.
w. X. Stewart was brought before the
meeting and denied having said anything
disrespectful. Not satisfied with that in
famous falsehood, he attacked one of our
citizens and tried to injure him with another
falsehood saying he had started the report.
We have on file in Squire Cool's Office
sworn statements by reliable parties, saying
that w. X. Stewart did say that president
Mckinley should have been shot three
years ago and Marx Hanna ough, to be shot
too" and great many other disparaging
remarks.
AS there seems TO De no law to puns h
men who are in sympathy with Czolgosz,
the assassinator of our President, and re-
joice in having the heads of our N alton shot
down like dogs, without any cause what
ever, we ask that the papers publish this
statement.

THE RECORD OF THE COLONEL.

Col. Morris Horkheimer is get
ting more notoriety. Col. Hork-
heimer was first snatched from the
deep, dark abyss of obscurity and
placed upon pinnacle of promi-
hence and fame when George
Wesley Atkinson, late of Guberna.
torial fame, rescued him from a
Wheeling pawn shop and appointed
him, among numerous and sundry
other such, on his staff. Later the
Colonel was enshrined in the
hearts of his countrymen by being
photographed in full uniform and
pasted on cigar boxes by his brother
Wheeling stogie manufacturer
But probably the greatest glory and
the most notoriety the Colonel
achieved was when he accompanied
his illustrious chief to New York
City to attend some public exercises
it matters not what. There he was
mistaken for the private pot-holder
of the Car of all the Russias, so
much lace and gold gilded his
noble frame and so many proud
plumes waved over his Hebraic
brow. Then his fame found its way
back TO this State, as he managed
to make a bill of $3.50 day at the
hotel where he stopped and charged
IL up to the taxpayers of this State.
But no more of Ancient History
let's deal in modern things. Col.
Horkheimer's services as dispenser
of the contents of the "King's
privy purse" were so great or his
political pull so strong, that Gov.
White retained him on his staff.
The Colonel had blown in several
hundred dollars having a uniform
maue ior MS noble and beefy form,
therefore his re-appointment may
have been a matter of economy.
But so be it, he is one of the field
full of snobs and dandies who hold
military commissions, wear uniforms
and strut about as members of the
Governors staff. Let it be under
stood, in justice to these paraders,
that they have no duties, save to
strut, look pretty and form a back
ground at public receptions for the
Governor, that the latter's brilliant
and Furnished head may shine
forth with all the effulgence of the
mercury, in his most martial mood.

SOLDIER MISSING.
Preston County Man Goes TO the

from the Morgantown Dominion.
A soldier who entered the service
several years ago from Preston
county is missing. His relatives
and friends have never heard from
him since he left home for the
Philippines along with his regiment.
They heard that he had enlisted
but in what regiment they do not
know.
The name of the missing man is
George Downs and he comes from
the vicinity of Rohr. 1t has been
several years since he left and dur
ing that time no letters have come
from him and nothing has been
heard. His regiment was probably
one of the volunteer regiments and
it has been mustered out but he has
not yet returned. His relatives
have about given up hope of ever
hearing from him.
