DOLE is PLEASED.
State Senator From Weston Thinks
MOrgantown Is Hr0wing Faster Than
any Other Town in State.

Senator George Cole OF Weston is
here to visit his former home. He
says that Morgantown seems to be
booming more than any other town
in the state and he is very much
pleased with the outlook. Weston
is growing very considerably but
not as fast by far as Morgantown.
The oil boom up there is on the wane
but operations are still rather &C
tive. Gas is being found in large
quantities and over large area.

Sir was at your place yesterday

Myra, and went to the schoolhouse
and took my clients daughter 10y

wildcats and did everything that
could be done to prevent our taking
the child. You cannot blame them,
| alone am to blame. / was there to
tell your daughter what her legal
rights were, and | told her that she
was entitled TO the custody of the
child and TO take her, which she did.
| had the papers all made out to take
the child by writ of habeas corpus,
but my client said she did not desire
to make you expense or trouble, so
advised her TO get the child, which
she did. Mr.. Goss and his wife both
desired me 10 do everything that
could be done so as not to have
trouble with you and create scene
before the child.
81 haye this much to say: | have
advised them that if you abduct the
child or cause the same to be done
you will have to pay the penalty OF
abduction. If your daughter had
done her duty she would have stopped
the buggy and shot you dead if you
had made an attempt to take the
child from her. This ! advised her to
do. but she insisted that we must dc
everything we could TO prevent a
scene. | would not have fooled with
you one minute. You acted like ar

daughter and all will be well.

OF the code commission includes the re-
vision of all the laws of the United States
OF general and permanent nature, but it
is now engaged in pursuance of the spec
ial direction of congress of the laws Of
congress in relation to the jurisdiction of
the federal courts. In an interview Com
missioner Botkin said:
The commission will recommend a number
OF more or less radical changes The most
important of these is the consolidation of
all original jurisdiction in the United States
district court and making the circuit court
take the place OF the present circuit court
of appeals as the intermediate court of re-
view. If the changes proposed are adopted
by congress, judges of the circuit court will
be wholly relieved of the trial of cases in
the first instance and will perform only the
duties attaching to an appellate court. The
various changes in court will also be en-
bodied in the report of the commission in the
interest of uniformity, simplicity and con-
venience
Mr.. Botkin believes that the commission
will be able to report the revision Of the
judiciary title before the next session of
congress. It recently submitted project
for United States penal code which is de-
signed to cover the numerous omissions
and defects in the present criminal laws.

considerable rust in it. In the region where
the harvest is over, stacking and threshing

Present Command Nov. 15.
Nesv Korh sam Special Service
Washington, Aug. 1S-Rear Admiral
Sampson, commanding the Boston navy
yard, will ask the navy department to be
relieved from his present command about
the 10Th of November. He will retire for
age in February and his request will be in
full accord with the custom of the navy
department Of placing officers on waiting
orders about three months in advance of
their retirement. Admiral Sampson will
not ask to be relieved entirely because of
i'll health.
ried In regard to his condition, but he has
so steadily improved that to-day he Is
said to be in much better health than
ne has been for a long time. Acting
Secretary Brackett said yesterday that q
recent report from Admiral Sampson
showed him to be much improved in
health and that there is nothing whatever
to indicate that he will ask to be re-
lleved about the first OF September as
has been reported. On the contrary, Ad-
mlral Sampson is very desirous of con-
tlnu1ng on active duty until within three
months Of his statutory retirement.
The navy department expects him to be
present at the inquiry into the conduct
of Rear Admiral Schley and his name is
on the list of witnesses prepared at the
department. He will be notified to ap-
pear before the court when it convenes in
September and will be asked to testify
in regard to the several matters cone
nected with the Santiago campaign.
