Secretary Root and lLg CaltGgl

One would logically conclude from his
ntteraDces that Secretary Root is in favor Of
the existing or anti canteen law, though he
does not make declaration to the effect in
50 many words. The accession of the
secretary Of war to the ranks Of the anti
canteeners, in the matter of being opposed
to the sale of any kind of liquors at army
posts, will greatly strengthen the bands Of
the temperance people, and will also no
doubt have considerable weight with con
gress when it again ATTACKS the subject.

COMMUNITY SHOCKED.
The Dead Body of Col. Theodore Human
FOund-Head Bruised and Neck
Rroken

The Dead Body of Col. Theodore Luman
Found-Head Bruised and Neck
Broken.
Mondays Cumberland Times.
There was intense excitement in
this city this morning when it became
known that Col. Theodore Human,
clerk of the Circuit Court, had been
missing from home since / o'clock
Sunday afternoon, at which time he
started out to take walk, telling
the family not to wait dinner on him.
Not returning to his home the fam
lily made known the fact this morning
when at once searching party was
instituted, which resulted in the find
ing of the body shortly after1 ii clock
this morning at the foot of what is
known as Devils Slide" q miles
down the river, nearly opposite Wi
ley's ford, or at a point between the
Alaska, w. Va, road and the river.
His head was badly mashed and his
neck broken. There was two or
three hundred people searching for
Mr.. Luman when the body was found
by Mr.. Douglas LeFevre.
The remains were at once taken in
charge by Undertaken Butler. The
body having been found on the West
Virginia side of the river, DR.. Car
penter was notified for the purpose of
having an inquest held.
DR.. Carpenter the coroner for Min
eral county, West Virginia, upon
viewing the remains turned them
over to Col. humans friends and they
were at once taken across the river in
boat and placed in charge of Under
taker Butler, who removed them to
the establishment, where he is now
preparing them for burial.
All of the yaluables Col. Luman us
ually carried with him were found
upon his person, and even a pink
carnation. which he had worn in his
buttonhole on yesterday, was found
beside him, and his watch was run
ming and in time. DR.. Brace, who
was among the first to reach the body,
says that death was caused by blow
received upon Col. humans head by
falling distance of 60 feet, and that
the other injuries resulted from the
continuous sliding of the body from
that point to the bottom of the cliff i,
where it was found.
Tufts of hair and blood were found
upon the projecting rock just below
the point at which the Colonel stood
when he fell, and it is evident that
DIR. Braces statement is correct.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things of Which Its Gradu.
ates Are Ignorant

ates Are Ignorant.
The failure of the Sunday school as
means of giving Il systematic and
thorough knowledge of the Bible is
great. A teacher in a city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or 80 pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the International Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed in order to reach
Palestine. and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
the class in what part of the world
Palestine is located. and no one knew
That is a very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask few questions The
ignorance of the Bible on the part of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again it has trans
pired that those who were generally
well informed, who were fairly well
educated and regarded as bright and
clever, were almost totally ignorant of
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
the book that was of any value. and.
however much they might have read it
since it was to them a sealed volume.

More Activity in Coal Lands.

For the past several months OPP
tions on all available coal fields in the
southeren end of this county have
been taken quietly by capitalists from
New York, Philadelphia and other
cities which had the effect of stimulat-
ing business in this particular line to
a great extent. The base of opera
lions has been changed now to the
northern end of the county where OPP
lions are being taken on lands in and
about the Cove, Grantsville and the
surrounding country. Should these
lands be developed quite a boom will
be experienced in this county.
Garrett county is rich in minerals
and with these developed along with
additional transportation facilities
now under construction along Cassel-
man river her wealth as well as pop
ulation will be materially increased.
