BEATTY HAY NOT HANG.

The chances now are that Iohn
Wesley Beatty will escape the gall
lows after all. The Pardon Board
was in session last week and acted
upon his case favorably this time.
OF course this does not settle it, as
the Governor may refuse to concur
in the recommendations of the Pal
don Board. The latter merely in
vestieates and advises the Governor
and the pardoning power is all in
him, same as before the Board was
established. Here is what the daily
papers had to say about the matter:
In the famous case of J. Wesley
Beatty, who vas convicted in the
circuit court Of Preston county of
the murder of David A. Nine, and
is under sentence Of death, his day
OF execution being fixed for the 10th
day OF November, the board, after
long elaboration, recommended
that the death penalty be commuted
to imprisonment for life. Beatty
has had varied experience since
he committed the terrible crime of
which he was convicted over two
years ago. He was respited by the
governor, refused favorable recon-
mendation by the pardon board, in
which action the governor also con-
Cured, and his case was then taken
to the supreme court OF appeals,
which affirmed the decision Of the
circuit of Preston county. If the
governor now comedies with the
pardon board, Beatty's neck will be
saved.
This is the first time the board
has recommended Communication of
the death penalty to life imprison-
ment in the three years in which it
has been acting, and during which
time 1t has had number of capital
cases before it. Its chief reason
for making a favorable recommen-
ton on behalf of Beatty at this time
was on account of the extraordinary
public sentiment in favor of this by
the people of Preston county, where
the crime was committed.

HE LODGED DANIEL.

From the Morgantown Dominion.
United States Marshal Daniel
Jackson, of Kingwood, has been in
Morgantown on official business
connected with the Postoffice de-
partment. 1t seems that a fellow
who has been employed at the
Fulmer coal mines near Easton has
been sending matter through the
mail which is contrary to the rules
and regulations Of the department.
The Marshall was here to investi.
gate the matter and would probably
have made the arrest of the guilty
party had he not gotten a word of
warning. Postmaster Fitch tele-
phoned to the mines and asked IN
regard to certain man being in
their employ and il he was at work.
The answer was in the affirmative.
Marshall Jackson left Immediately
for the coal mines, but on his arrival
the man wanted had taken his de.
parture. Postmaster Fitch, when
asked about the man stated that he
had nothing for publication and re-
fused to reveal the name OF the sup
posed guilty party. Every effort
will be exerted to capture the man
who has run up against Uncle Sans
laws and has acted contrary to his
regulations.

children. Republican speil-binders
with a national reputation were ad-
vertised to speak, but the people
simply would not come out to hear
them. except few right in town

half an hour. People from the

ness that day, were beseeched to
attend, but refused and attended to

1t remains for Chairman Dawson
to put political preferment in this
State on paying basis. He has
called upon every employe of the
State Institutions to whack up out
of their salaries to the Republican
campaign fund. 1t is all right IL
any OF them want to contribute and
do so voluntarily, but to call on
them for it, men, women and chill
dren, and in such a way that they
understand il they do not contribute
they will be placed on a black list,
and sooner or later some excuse
found for dispensing with their ser
vices, is mean and cowardly and
contemplate and nothing like it
was ever done before, as long as
the Democrats had charge.

The Democratic nominee for
County Commissioner in Reno dis
triet Julius c. Simpson of Marques
has Withdrawn from the race owing
to pressing business affairs and seri-
Gus illness in his family. He writes
us that his daughter is lying at the
point of death with typhoid fever
and smallpox and that it is impossi-
bic for him to leave home to make
any canvass or look after any out
side matters. He therefore resigns
from the ticket and as it is too late
to nominate any one else il is likely
that the Democrats will support the
Independent candidate Philip S.
Knots Of Fellowsville, who is also
the Prohibition candidate for the
office in that district. This will
make close race between him and
Judge Zinn.

The mast in this county is very
heavy this year and the ground is
covered thickly in many places in
the woods with acorns and chestnuts.
There are also good many hickory
nuts and walnuts. Many OF the
nuts are being gathered by the peo-
pie, but most of the scorns are going
to waste. There are but few hogs
ip the county and hardly any of the
farmers have enough to supply their
own demands for meat, let alone
any for sale. Meat has been very
high all summer and the prospect
is that pork will be a good price,
what little there is for sale. The
farmers do not manage as we'll as
they should or they would raise
more hogs and it is a pity there are
not more swine in the country to
up eat the mast

The Republicans of this State
cannot run campaign without
Doodle and rely more on that than
they do on their platform or prin
ciples. This campaign they are in
desperate straits and have even been
holding up the women and forcing
contributions to their campaign
fund. The Chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee sent
letter to all the State Institutions
calling on the officials and en-
ployses for a contribution. In
many Of the institutions, half Of the
employees are females and they
we're virtually compelled to give up
part Of their small salary, same as
the men.

The DelIneator for August.

The August Delineator is a special fiction number and a most attractive midsummer issue. The spell of the season is over its pages, and those who have delayed the completion of the summer wardrobe will find com pensation in some late designs that are daintily charming. The fiction consists of six short stories-two of novelette, length. Virginia Wood ward Cloud, one of the brightest writers of today, has found an un- usually good theme for the display oi her talents in "The Understudies.' All the stories are illustrated Tn the artistic manner characteristic of the magazine. One of the many unan- nounced features is the story of the building and furnishing of a charm ing and artistic, yet inexpensive house, told in narrative form by Grace McGowan Cooke; many photographs and drawings are given with it. Dr Murray's new paper in the settles or the training of children treats of pre-. cocity. Club Women" is interest ing on account of the Los Angele: convention, and the pictures of th' new officers.

Mrs. TsiIka's TribuIations.

Miss Stone may congratulate her self on being so we'll quit of her troubles, for her companion in cap tivity, Mrs. Tsilka, is having almost as miserable time in freedom as she had in captivity. Miss Srone left Mrs. Tsilka behind Tn Salonica. Mrs. Tsilka expected to return immedi- ately to her home in Kortcha, Al bania, to resume her mission work To her intense disnay she found that she and her husband were virtually prisoners. Her husband was sus- pected of having been in the plot with the brigands and barely escaped imprisonment. When at last they had arrived home they found theil situation, if anything, even more de plorable. They were suspected by theIr own people, and to pursue theil work in such an atmosphere of dis trust became almost impossible Many of Mrs. Tsilka's letters were opened and stopped by the Turkish authorities. Things have at last come to such a pass that Mrs. Tsilka has about determined to give up hel work for the present and come tC America. where she has many friends for a rest. Her one joy is the flint health of her baby, "The Little Brigand," who has had not singl
 sick day since she was born. Or tn,
 birth of her baby Mrs. Tsilka write in the August McClure's.

Understands Conditions.

All poets are not in jail, althougl it seems to be the general belief tha they ought to be. There is one il the penitentiary, however, at Still water, Minn., who conducts depart ment in the Prison Mirror, journa published in the pen by the convicts This is the way he comments on tht dedication of Rhode Island banl cashier, and draws moral from tn, same:
 Life is real, life is earnest,
 And the man is lost who shirks; But the fellow starts the doings
 In the bank who takes the works. Tell me not in mournful numbers
 How to live as 1 should; Life consists in doing people
 When you do them do them good. Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
 Was not spoken of the soul, If it was it matters little,
 If we only make roll. Be not like dumb, driven cattle If you are you will be chaffed, Get into the gay procession
 Cultivate some easy graft. Every minute yields sucker
 'Tis a statement that is plain; And if bait is often freshened,
 All the old ones bite again.
