Romsdal, has e. They contain $50, 600

Leo Berg, a German publicist, has writ
ten book on Henrik Ibsen, whom he
calls 'the great European conscience"
1.-The main wheel of the mental machinery
Of our times 1.-The man of great mys-
teries and riddles," etc. These are strong
words, perhaps too strong. The most
valuable chapters are those treating of
Ibsen's influence upon German literature
and mental culture.
The water in Bergen harbor Is so po-
luted that the fish are dying in great

Sven Aarrestad, the president of the
Norwegian Total Abstinence Association,
stated at the annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION that strong drinks must have
had something to do with the grounding
Of the gunboats Sleipner and Torden-
skiold. The authorities would not pass
this unnoticed, and Aarrestad was sum-
moned to Drammen to testify in the mat
ter. He frankly admitted that he sus-
pected that the officers in charge Of the
gunboats were under the influence of
liquor at the time Of the accidents, and
he supported his assertion by what might
be called circumstantial evidence.
Four Catholic priests residing at from

FINLAND.
All the clergymen Of Finland have been
instructed to read from their pulpits the
new CONSUMPTION ukase, which was issued
contrary to the laws of the land. Many
are the ways in which this order is
evaded. In some cases the pastors have
asked their congregations what to do. and
by unanimous vote the reading of the
ukase has been dispensed with. Ere
quently the congregation has created
such disturbance that the reading could
. not be understood. In one church the
congregation sang "a Mighty Fortress
/, is Our Lord" during the reading. When
the whole congregation tnterferes with
the reading spontaneously, General Bob
rikoff and his minions are at sea- But
when a certain Individual takes the lead
he will be made to suffer for his inter-
ference.

Monongahela Valley Round Table.

The writer acknowledges the re
ceiving Of an invitation to attend
the meeting OF the Monongahela
Valley round Table of Superinten-
dents, Principals and Teachers, of
that beautiful and rich valley; the
valley In which he spent his youth
and young manhood, and around
which cluster some of the most sa-
cred memories of his life. The meet
ing was held at Morgantown on Fri
day and Saturday OF last week, and
no doubt pleasant and profitable
time was spent. About eighteen
months ago this association held its
first meeting IN Morgantown, and
from the interest taken then it was
predicted that much good would be
done, through It's instrumentality.
The fondest hopes of its most san
guine members have been more than
realized. May it prosper still more

Her Husband-He is Held up at the
Point ReyolYers and When Resisting
He was sShot SO That He Died by
Drunken Negroes.
Fayette county has added another
to the long list of bloody crimes
which are to be charged up to her.
The victim of the murderer's deadly
aim has just passed away in the
hospital at Connellsville. He was
killed while attempting to defend
the honor of his wife from several
drunken negroes.
The affray took place at Wynne
works in that county on Friday
night. Several negroes entered the
house of Henry McMillen. They
held him up at the point of revolyers
and outraged his wife. Maddened
by the sight of it the husband fell
on them and they shot him full of
holes A. least four of the gang
have been caught and positively
identified and all that remains is to
hang them after a speedy trial
What is the wonderful thing about
it all is that the people of that sec
ton allowed the fends to be placed
in jail without making the effort
to string them up to telegraph poles
Brntes as they are are too good to
allow to run at large. This is the
expression made by everyone who
hears Of the crime
The negroes were terror stricken
when they learned that the man had
died and that they were to be held
on murder charge That they have
the right ones is certain and that
they will get a speedy trial and short
SHIFT is equally certain
That county has a long and dark
record but the officers down there
are doing all in their power to
change it. They rounded up the
gang in very short order.
Mcmillan was formerly a resident
Of Masontown, Preston county. He
has brother who has for several
years been living near Morgantown.
His brother Owen McMillen went
down this morning to Connellsville
to see him but when he left here had
not heard that the wounded man had
died.

happened and will resist the efforts
to put them into the new city.
This will be done BY means of in
3irpctions as soon as the council of

who are not on the council have told
the city fathers that they will back
Them up and will put up the money

TWO CENTS
ON HIS MOTHERS CRAVE.
Was the Dead Body Of Russell
Harden Found
In the Catawba Cemetery The Young
Man was Very Fond Of His Mother
aud or Late His Mind Seemed to be
Somewhat Affected.
Fairmo mt Evening Times.

taIrmont Evening Times.
Lying face downward, on the grave
OF his mother, with bullet through
his heart, was Russell Harden. when
some small children entered the Ca
tawba Cemetery to play yesterday
morning. A thiftY-two caliber re-
volyer lying close to his right hand
told the awful story lie was the son
OF West Harden. prominent mer-
chant Of Catawba, and was about
nineteen years OF age.
The last seen OF him alive was about
eight o'clock Saturday evening, when
he was at his home for supper. His
actions didn't excite any suspicious
that he contemplated taking his own
life, and Ii Is an awful shock TO his
family.
1t Is thought that he went TO the
graveyard just after dark, for had he
gone before then he would have been
seen by people living near.
He was a constant user OF cigarettes
and lately haa developed mania for
reading novels OF the sensational type
and it is thought by manv that his
mind was slightly deranged from the
constant use Of the cigarettes and the
reading of some thrilling tale had
prompted him to commit the horri-
BILE act.
AS child, he was exceptionally
fond OF his mother, and her death,
which took place between three and
four years ago, was severe blow to
him, and was one from the effects OF
which he never fully recovered.
The Harden family To which the
unfortunate young man belonged, is
one OF the most prominent ia the
county. Mr. Thos. Harden, of the
First Ward is an uncle, and many
other relatives live in Winfield dis
trict.
The funeral services took place at
his late home at three o'clock to-day
and he was laid to rest beside his
mother, whom he loved so we'll.
The affair was severe blow to his
family who have the sympathy OF all.

Contract as Sent Down to Sign up not
rs agreed Upon and the Council Re-
considered the Matter MorgantoWn
Material 70 be Used-Greenmon GO
ahead Quietly.
The town council Of Seneca held d
meeting on Monday night and anoth-
er one on Tuesday afternoon. They
had a great deal Of work TO attend 10
before they could finish up and get
ready to hand over their affairs TO the
city council.
One of the most important matters
to come up on Monday night was that
of paving brick. They had let the
contract to the Hammond Brick COM
pany of Marion county and the con-
tract was received on Monday nigh II
1t was not in accordance with the
agreement made previously and the
council rejected it refusing to sign it
at all. They notified the Marion
county concern that they had decided
to let the contract to other parties.
The Morgantown Brick Company
then made bid of seven dollars a
thousand for four hundred thousand
bricks more or less and the offer was
accepted. They are to be wire cut
shale brick and to be delivered on the
streets.
An offer of a street to the wharf
near the Planning mill was made by
the Morgantown Glass Works and was
accepted. This gives an easy grade
to the river and gives an elegant
wharf for the use Of the people down
there. The deed was drawn up and
signed properly. There was no con-
sideratiOn.
The Farmers s. Merchants bank
took the 81, 400 in bonds which were
issued some time ago for street i'm
proyements The bank paid.a premi-
um of fifty dollars for the bonds.
Although much business was trans
acted on Monday night the council
was unable to get done and meeting
was called for one O'Clock this after
noon. The fathers are now in session
getting ready to hand over everything
in good shape tomorrow TO the city.
Greenmont council will meet on
Wednesday night in regular session.
They expect to pay no attention what
ever to the new city. The lighting
will have to be started by Greater
Morgantown to force them in as they
will do nothing on their own initia-
| tive.

OLD RECORDS COPIED.
Colonial Proceedings of what was once
Southwestern Pennsylyania--In Car
negie Institute annals.

Director w. J. Holland of the Car
negie Museum has secured from Royl
Crumrine the historian Of Washington
Pa, transcripts Of some colonial rec
ords for publication in the Annals,
the second part of which is almost
ready for the press. Old families of
this region will be particularly inter-
ested. Virginia, as is well known,
once claimed Southwestern Pennsyl-
vania before Mason & Dixon's line
was run, and Southwestern Pennsyl-
vania was set apart by act of the Co
lonial Assembly OF Virginia as the
District OF West Augusta says the
Dispatch.
Subsequently this province was di-
vided into the three counties OF Mon
ongalia, Ohio and Yohoghania, and
they almost covered the. territory to
the north as far as the kiskiminetas
from the Laurel ridge to the Ohio.
Pennsylvania laid claim at the same
time to so much as is now within her
boundaries. Virginia appointed judg-
es TO hold court in the disorict named
and il was held in the three counties.
The records of Yohoghania county,
after the running OF Mason 81 Dixon's
line and the composition Of all diff
culties, were taken to Stannton, Va,
from Elizabeth, which had been the
county seat. They have recently been
unearthed by Boyd Crumrine, and
from them the transcripts noted have
been taken. They throw a food OF
light on colonial DAYS here.

FUNNY BREAK.
>
Law Passed allowing all COnvicts to be
Hanged Col. Fast Careful Law
Maker.

The following is taken from a re-
|cent issue of the Wheeling News:
Speaking OF grammatical breaks in
|law books reminds one of the act pro-
Eviding for the execution of murderers
fat the Moundsville penitentiary.
when the bill was introduced in the
of 1899 it read, 1.-The con-
|demned shall be taken to the peniten-
| tiary and there each convict shall be
hanged by the neck until he is dead. !"
If the bill had become a law without
rhetorical revision it would have au-
kthorized the summary execution Of
Levery convict in the penitentiary.
