In the issue of the Forum of Dec l3 a
salutatory appeared which attracted con-
siderable notice. notably of G. f. Over
acker, editor, who had been absent from
town about two weeks. Mr.. o. had seen
the production i'll print, but could not
remember wherein, and remained i'll
darkness until the Windber (Pa.l Era of
Dec. 20 reached his table Then he read
this acknowledgment from the editorial
columns of that paper:
Brother Overacker, we bow to your good
taste in selecting our salutatory AS about
right to give to your readers, but had you
corrected the typographical errors overlooked
by our compositor in the absence of our
editor, who was i'll, the readers of the Forum
might admire yon more than they do.
Until last week, therefore, the laugh
was on" Overacker. Then he not only
disclaimed authorship of the "saluta-
tory but approval of its purport as
well-all i'll word and tone whose hon.
esty and sincerity cannot be doubted.
In the same issue Mr. o. announced
his retirement from the staff of the
ForHm-a serious loss to the paper, not
withstanding his generous boost of w.
J. Gerlach into editorial succcSsorship.
Mr.. o. is il good printer, an excellent all
round newspaper man, and as such Il
desirable citizen anywhere.
On Tuesday Mr.. Gerlach resigned,
which leaves Charles G.. Watson, owner,
i'll charge of all departments, the
editorial especially.
Meanwhile, the JOURNAL very languid-
ly revels in hope for the best.
How il is Done Over There.
The Somerset PA. .SfdDIdrd tells how
Windber got a Johnstown trolley line
through town and 800 besides for the
privilege.
Moreover, the line traverses six streets.
In the first place, Council passed an
ordinance asking 5000 for the use of
the streets.
This the Mayor vetoed because $1,000
was not enough.
In accordance with suggestion accom-
panying veto, Council raised the price to
81 800, and day or two later the money
was paid.
In Frostburg no price was asked, the
company was allowed to reduce its ac-
Communications to the town to the use of
one street, convert that into ruins and
leave it to the town to restore if pos
sible.

Presidents Review of Appeal Causes
Flutter of Surprise.

Washington, Feb. 21--President
Roosevelt's decision in the Schley case
caused just one futter of surpriseand
it is over the fact that the President
should bear down so harshly ON the
admiral. 1t has been common gossip
for weeks that there would be more
bitter than sweet for Schley in the
Presidents review of the, case, but for
the sake of hushing the lamentable
controversy and allowing it to die. it
was thought he wouldn't let all sides
down easy The finding, however,
lis couched in language which even
Schley's opponents, consider rather Sc
we're, although, of course, they are sec
reilly pleased.
Is this the end of the interminable
wrangle? Most men answer in the af-
firmative, at least so far as congress
lis concerned, for the President plainly
intimates that he will veto any bill
which may be passed tending to agi-
tate the controversy or arouse discus
sion. This is the opinion of Chairman
Foss Of the house naval committee,
who continues to decline to discuss
any phase OF the case.

REESE TALKS.
Thinks Legislation May Solve Problem
of Shot Firers.


Des Moines, Feb. John P. Reese
of Abba, president of the United Mine
Workers OF Iowa. said last night that
the leading question to come before
| the Joint convention OF the miners and
operators of the state, which convenes
here March IL, would be that of put
ting on shot firers.
There is a possibility" he said,
that the legislature may settle this
question for us. A commission APP
pointed by the governor is now at
work investigating the causes Of mine
explosions which is required to make
a report to the legislature explaining
these causes and recommending rem
edies. Should the general assembly
determine that what are known as shot
tirers should be employed, it would
mean that the joint conference would
not have this question to deal with.
! Where there are shot firers it is Gus
tomary and necessary for them to eX-
anime the shots before they are charg-
ed with powder, and it is also neces-
sary in order to accomplish the results
expected from their use, that the en-
tployeS be all out of the mines at the
time the shots are fired. For these
reasons it is not feasible to fire at the
moon hour, or to continue the practice
now in vogue in several of the mines
OF the state known as twice per day
| firing. But continued Mr. Reese, it
| is my opinion that if the legislature
fails to make provision for shot fire
men it will be burning issue before
the joint convention He said it was
| too early to make any forecast as to
next years scale, but that the scale OF
Illinois would have more OF less effect
on that in Iowa.

Had Threatened to Kill.

Tad threatened to XIII. x
Several witnesses were examined,
among them being Constable Camp
bell, Chief Gray, the Bliss woman and
a neighbor of hers. Clara McConnehy,
who were the chief witnesses. The
last named testified that Houdyshell
and the woman with whom he was liv-
ing had had trouble several times, and
that the woman had threatened to kill
Houdyshell if she ever found him with
other women. The witness declared
that Houdyshell was afraid of his al
legged mistress, and had said SO sever.
al times. She identified the revolver
with which the shooting was done as
one which she had seen the Bliss wo-
man carry in her bosom.
Says He Was Unhappy.
Mrs. Bliss, in her testimony, related
the facts of the killing as she had told
them to the officers, and put much
stress on the statement that ,Houdy-
shell had been i'll and had threatened
to kill himself several times. She
said that she had never had any trou.
Bile whatever with the man.
The Jury's Verdict.
After hearing all of the evidence,
the points of which have already been
related herein, the jury, after deliber.
at1ng a few minutes, found that
Houdyshell came to his death by rea.
son of gun shot wound in the head
made by person unknown to the jury
This leaves shadow of doubt as to
whether the death was one of suicide
and this question will probably always
remain unanswered.
Was Well Connected.
Rolla d. Houdyshell was 30 years OF
age. He was son of Mr. and Mrs
Z. M. Houdyshell of West Fourth
street He was a moulder by occupa
ton, having recently been employed al
the Janney Manufacturing company
and also at John Morrell & Co.'S, but
he had not worked steady for some
time. He had been married twice. His
first wife was Miss Pearl Lester, tt
whom he was married in July, 1892
divorce was secured about two years
later, when shortly afterwards he was
again married to Miss Eta Earring
ton. He lived with the latter up un
til within a few months ago, when the
| couple separated, but divorce has no
been secured by either of them. He
has two sisters, Mrs. Edward Bragg, o.
Richards street. and Mrs. e. j. Word

member of the Modern Woodmen O
