Nothing excites my surprise and ad-
miration more than to see a man retain
his composure in times of sudden and
imminent danger said the commercial
traveller who loves to tell stories. Once
in a while you read accounts of mar
velous GOODNESS displayed by soldiers
on the battlefield and you wonder at the
quality of mind, whether it be courage
or whatever that enables them to 90 on
with the discharge of their duty when
they know they are liable to go to king
dom come at any moment, but remark
able as that is, it isn't exactly what l
mean. 1t seems natural enough for a
man, If he be IA brave man, to disregard
peril il he knows about it beforehand
and is calculating on it. In such a case
it is all in the days work, so to speak,
and no matter what happens the man is
not to be taken by surprise.
The wonderful thing to me. though
is Tor a mar to be beSet by some en-
tirely unforeseen peril and to meet it
with absolute GOODNESS when there has
been no opportunity whatever to pre-
pare for it One of Mark Twain's earlier
stories illustrates this GOODNESS as we'll

STOLEN PROPERTY
SECURED BY POLICE.
INGTON, ID. g., MAN PAwyED
IN WHEELING.
TWO DETECTIVES ARE HERE
Looking Up the Case-A Portion of
the "swag' Secured fn a Hold-Up
by Three CoIored Men, One of
whom is sim at Large-Other
Police and Justice shop Cases.

A citizen Of Washington, D. c., was
held up by three negroes a snort time
ago and touched for very valuable
gold watch, a horseshoe pin, two rings
and other valuables. Two of the
negroes were arrested and are now in
custody. The third managed to get
away and was traced TO Wheeling.
N Russell Herndon and another de-
tectiYe On the Washington force are in
the city looking up the matter, and
have been assisted by Detective Jerry
OLeary. A tour of the pawn shops was
made, and it brought to light the stolen
ticker" II had been pawned for $36,
which gives an idea Of its value.
fhe pawn ticket was held by col
ored man who conducts gambling es-
adjustment, and 1t was also secured by
the police. This man claims that he
got the watch from a stranger in return
for poker chips and that on the fol-
lowing day he pawned the watch, Civ
ing the stranger the difference between
sS6 and the amount he advanced him in
checks.
che man who brought the watch to
Wheeling has left the city.

The new law for improving roads is
proving very unsatisfactory to the tax
payers and will probably be carried to
the Supreme Court to test it's legality
The law was probably well intended,
but If it was it has failed to meet the
requirements desired by the public. In
Pease township it has proved anything
but success, but it lost no time in
getting its rate on the tax duplicate.
The roads leading north from this city
are in a horrible condition, and when
winter comes will be almost impass-
ible. This condition keeps trade from
this city, and those who pay the most
taxes are the greatest sufferes. This
postponing of action by the road COM
mittee and the refusal of the county
commissioners to ALLOW the Fifth
street road to be built is being carefully
considered by the people, as they are
gradually getting their eyes opened.

Lud Madison will not hang next
Tuesday.
About noon yesterday Warden Had.
dox, of the penitentiary, received from
Governor White notice Of a stay oil
execution 70? sixty days He at once
communicated the message TO the con
demned man, who exhibited but little
emotion. He said that he had been
expecting something like that TO hap
pen because he had been praying for it
all night.
Only a few days ago it was an
nounced that the Governor would not
interfere in Madison's case and he was
to have hanged next Tuesday and pre-
parations for the execution were un-
DER way and tickets of admission had
been given by the warden.
It is said Madisons attorneys will
take an appeal to the Supreme Court
of the United States. They expect to
gain their point on the grounds that,
according to the records OF the court
in which Madison was convicted and
sentenced he is legally dead. The rec
ords of the court in Fayette county
show that Madison was hanged in
1899.
Madison was first sentenced about
two years ago but was granted a stay
of execution and subsequently writ
of error. but the court records are said
TO contain no reference to the writ, but
instead show that Madison was exc
cuted at the end of the stay.
After the writ of error was granted
an appeal was taken TO the Supreme
Court, where the decision OF the Fay
cite county Criminal Court was affirm
ed and Madison was ordered taken
back to be resenteneed. This was zone
and he was sentenced to hang July 9TH,
but under a stay the time was extend
ed to September Sd fhe last reprive
created considerable interest in
yesterday, and many peo-
pie are of the opinion that Madison will
yet escape the gallows.

Order Misunderstood.

The fire department received an in
vitation to turn out in the parade
Labor Day, but later on an order was
issued by the Amalgamated lodges to
the effect that all men who did not
turn out in the parade would be fined,
and as the majority of the french are
mill men it would considerably de-
crease their showing, as Chief Ong had
issued an order for all to be in the
parade. Last evening Edward Parsons,
president of the Central Trades Union,
notified Chief Ong that the order did
not effect those who We're firemen and
that they would not be fined The fire
men will meet at the Central hose
house at 10 O'Clock Monday morning to
form for the parade.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN

reliable sorce it was learned on the
streets that every sfnokestaek in the
large Laughlin tin plant was belching
forth smoke and every furnace was
lighted. The rumor still went further
and stated that a number of men had
been taken into the mill, representing
themselves as painters and laborers.
The story proved, as usual a false
one, and upon inyestigat showed
that the mill was smokeiess, and the
only men who had entered the works
were three Italian laborers, and that in
no way was any effort being made to
operate the mill. This was the first
series of alarms regarding the starting
of mills on this side of the river, but
was not given much credence by the
mill men.

Convicted on 10th Charges.

Yesterday John Foidel was arraigned
before Squire Larue on charge OF
non support preferred by Humane Off
Ger Echols, and on charge of obtain
ing board under false pretences pre-
ferred by Holders.
During the evidence it was shown
that Foidel came to this city from
Warrington, and some time after his
arrival here sent word to his wife to
come here. as he had work. Upon re-
ceipt of this letter Mrs. Foidel sold her
furniture and with her three children
came here. Foidel took them to Hold
ler's boarding house on Main street,
and there gave the impression that he
was expecting large sum of money
soon and would then buy property and
build. Time drifted by and Foidel full
filled none of his promises, and the re-
suit was the warrants.
On the non-support charge he was
given sixty days and on the charge Of
obtaining lodging under false pre-
fences was fined s25 and thirty days in
Jail.
Humane Officer Echols secured trans
portation from the Board of Commits
sioners for the wife and three children
back to Warrington.
