proper costume, and it is most inter-
esting to see the dramatic instinct
again dominating. The pictures Of Mr..
Roosevelt taken in his costume as a
hunter show him holding his rife,
loaded with many bullets. The leather
breaches, with their picturesque adorn-
ment Of fringe; the hunting shirt Of
leather, embroidered supposedly by In

ivory handled revolver, the knife thrust
through the cartridge belt. are all the
fitting paraphernalia of the cowboys

Constable Betts came here yesterday with the warrant for his arrest, ana Sheriff Rametti did the rest.
 It is said that one or two managers Of teams in the City Amateur league will propose at the next meeting of the league that a sociable and dance shall be given under the auspices Of the en- tire six clubs so as to raise funds to de- fray part of the expenses of the ball season now drawing to an end. The teams have given the public first class article of ball during this season. The expenses of all the teams have been considerable. At the lowest estimate it has cost every club $40 or more. The present season has cost several clubs about $IOO. On the other hand there have been no receipts. By giv- ing a sociable and dance an oppportun- ity woud be given to the public to show their appreciation of the efforts of the local boys to furnish a good ar ticle of ball during the season.

THE WIND

Is beginning to blow. Did you ever take notice how cold the winds are in the fall, particularly around election time? Say, it's comical to stop and listen to some of the windy ward poli- ticians. Of course we can't blame the ward heelersH to be rather windy in their denunciations of the fellow on the other side, because occasionally we find even office seekers to be pretty windy; some of them can say more in five minutes about themselves than could be dispensed from a grapha- phone in fOrty-seven hours, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Of course it's all wind; yes. and that same class of orators can promise seventeen political positions for every office to be filed, and when the time arrives to make good these promises. this type of windy politician can crawl out of his predicament in so slick and smooth q style that it takes the disappointed fellow over two years to see how he did it. Well. politics is pretty uncer- tain game: you'll hear q ''heeler'' say so and so is willing to spend lots of money to get there. Well. if he is willing to spend lots of money he must see where he's going to get it back and we cannot see only one source, and that's the taxpayers pocket: that's the fellow who must pay all the salaries. Again, you'll see the opposing factions meet after election and make up friends they'll go and have drink. but we'll guarantee it won't be fresh roast ed coffee or pure nice tasting tea they will have. When We say fresh. pure goods. we mean the kind We sell. Our tub better at 23 and 25 cents per pound still continues to tickle the palates of thousands. Why not try some from

And Lodged In Jail Here Charged With
Robbing Store.

Basil Uphold. of Grant district, Was
brought to Kingwood and lodged in jail las,
Friday by Deputy Sheriff Lawrence Con-
ner and Constable John ID. Evans Of Bruce
ton. There are several charges against
Uphold and one rather serious one. The
officers down there had warrant for him
for some time on an old indictment for
carrying concealed weapons, but they could
never catch him, although they went after
him several times, so they gave the warrant
to Chris Hartmcyer. who is teaching the
Creenylle school down near where Uphold
lives and on Wednesday of last week Basil
came along by the school house just after
school had resumed ia the afternoon. Hart
meyer went out aud tackled him although
ne was carrying gun aud drew it on him,
but Chris grabbed the gun and took il away
from him and then Uphold started TO run
and Chris after him. They tore off down
the road at a break-ncck speed. leaving the
school to run itself Chris chased him for
a mile OF two, losing his hat, but had no
time TO stop and get il. Finally Uphold
took refuge in coal bank and hid. Chris
could not find him in the dark and besides
Uphold carried revolver aud threatened to
shoot, so Hartmeyer stood guard at the en-
trance, bare-headed and cold, bat he was
determined to have his man and hung on
like grim death for three hours, till he
could send to Bruceton for the officers OF
the law. They came and got Upholds
father to go in and persuade Basil to come
out and 60 along peacefully. They took
him TO Bruceton and he gave bond for that
charge. his brother putting up $40 in money.
The justice then released him and he was
Immediately rearcsted, charged with break
ing into Benton Wallis store at Piseah on
the night of Xinas Eve and robbing the
money drawer of 500. 1t was done while
an entertainment was in progress at the
church near by, and everybody was in at
tendance. Some one broke glass out of
the store window and crept in and raed the
money drawer of its contents. Uphold was
there that night and is charged with being
the robber, as he has rather tough repu-
tation, although he is young and not more
than 20 years of age. He had a trial on
this charge Thursday and was sent to Jail
here in default of bail There were three
other indictments found against him at the
late term of court for carrying concealed
weapons and he will likely remain in the
Bastile here Till spring, anyhow.

PLEASANT VALLEY.
A Mystery Not Solved.

From Special Correspondent.
Three or four years ago found some ore
which believed to be rich. 1t was in this
section of country where 1 had passed
through many times, finding a very weighty
chunk of the ore, which would probably
have weighed 20 pounds or more laid it
up on large stone of several tons weight,
between five and eight feet high from the
ground, thinking that could go to the
place without difficulty in finding il. Some
little time had passed but had not went
back to try 10 find the place of supposed
value, SO in few days there was man in
this section taking leases on land for oil, he
had Squire VIM. McGibbons, of Bruceton
with him, they had heard something about
this find and insisted on my getting some of
the ore and bringing it to Bruceton. So at
last agreed to do so. One afternoon /
started as l had promised, had went but
few steps from the the house heard asharp
whizzing noise seemingly passing through
the air which could not understand. /
went on in search of the place where /
found the ore and laid the chunk on the
large stone, supposing that could walk to
the spot without any trouble, but was mys-
teriously mistaken. / could not even find
the large stone where l had laid the ore,
IL had disappeared, as l know that was at
the same place where l had found the ore
or very near il. had brought some small
chunks of the ore home with me when
first found 1t was of blue or gray color
with very bright specks and was very
heavy This is a mystery to me which I
cannot solve. This was found in Pleasant
district, Preston county.

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT AND WHEAT
GROWERS.

We learn from Bulletin 68 of the
West Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment Station, just received, that
the periodical Cicada, or Seventeen
year Locust, will swarm next MAY
and June over large part of the
Southern portion of the state, and
that fruit growers are warned of the
danger of losing fruit trees planted
next spring within this area. The
author, DR.. A. ID. Hopkins, gives
full account of the insect and shows
on maps of the state the known
distribution of the eight or ten
known broods, or swarms, which
appear in different years and in
different sections of the state. In
structions are also given for pre-
venting losses from the injuries by
this pest to recently planted fruit
ond other trees. The bulletin con
tains much matter of general inter
est and information, in addition to
the valuable and practical suggest
ions and advice.
Bulletin 60 by the same author,
is also before us. 1t is a supple
ment to Bulletin 67-"The Hessian
Fly in West Virginia"-and includes
a report on the examination of over
5000 specimens of wheat stubble
from "a correspondents in 90 coun.
ties Of the state, with tables Of re
suits. Notice of the destructive
ravages Of the joint worm on wheat
in the northern section of the state
is also given in this bulletin, with
suggestions and recommendations
for preventing losses.
These are both valuable contribu-
tons from the results Of original
investigations by the Entomologist
of the Experiment Station, and are
mailed free by the station to any
one requesting them.

Republican, have already began

trying to prevent his reelection to

90 before his people next year and
carry the primary election in order
to be reelected. lie has made no

In this issue we publish a pro-
posed bill that is to be introduced
into the Legislature this winter, and
if it became law would be a great
saving and convenience to the trav-
cling public, but the railroads will
fight it, and it has no show whatever
to pass, since every member of the
Legislature will go there with rail-
road pass in his pocket.
