The Supreme Court has decided
that shade trees in front of a mans
property although located on pub

case in which this decision was
rendered was one in which a prop

his trees. The decision is one of
vital interest to all property own

Broom Corn.

The expected has not happened
with broom corn. A few years ago,
when the trust cornered the pro.
ducts, and prices went soaring to
attitudes never known before, i,
was predicted that the high prices
would be short lived, as production
would soon overtake consumption
and prices W nId resume the old
level Several years have passed
and at present good broom corn
brush is quoted at Sl4O ton; a
very good price This serves to
show that full crop, which the
country has usually raised, which
will be consumed at profitable
prices, when the marketing is done

Two Pairs of Thieves Are Now
Behind the Bars.
On last Saturday policeman @.
B. Smith, arrested Geo. Crump,
James Crump, Mart Spencer and
Charles Miller, and filed charge
of breaking into and stealing
whiskey and merchandise from q
box car of the K. & Nj. Ry., in the
Waggener yards. A nice little
piece of detective work was done
by policeman Smith in this case,
and he finally got on the right trail,
resulting in the arrest of the above
named parties.
One day last week he arrested
Dick Miller, for drunkness, and
lodged him in the city Iock-up.
While in the lookup and still un-
der the influence of liquor, Miller
was quite talkatiye and made
among other assertions that his
whiskey did not cost him anything
and that "the K. & NJ. Ry. pays fol-
all my whiskey." This gave Smith
the right cue, and he told him that
unless he told whers he got his
whiskey he would be held under a
serious charge. After considering
the matter, Miller made the con.
fession that Geo. Crump, James
Crump, Mart Spencer and Charles
Miller gave him the whiskey and
that they robbed car in the Wag.
gener yards, and "Dick" getting on
to the fact they give him the whisk-
ey "to close his mouth"
On Saturday afternoon they
were brought before Justice Geo.
Childs, and failing to give bond
they were sent to Jail to await act
ion of the grand jury.
Dick Miller was discharged,
there being no evidence that he
was in any way connected with the
robbery

A very timely editorial in the
Parkersburg News protests against
an attempt that is being made to
pipe the gas out of West Virginia
for the benefit of consumers in
other states, which will greatly in
jure US and retard our development
and growth in many respects. If
fuel is carried to the larger faoto-
ries and industrial plants in other
sections IF the country. West Vir-
ginia will receive but paltry sum
of that to which she is justly emit
tied. Let the factories come TO us
if they must have it. While a
member of the legislature, Hon.
w. w. Brannon, of Weston, intro
duced resolution in the House
to prevent our gas from being
transported out of the State, but it
failed to pass. Now that the i'm
portance of such a measure has
become more urgent and as a
means of protection to our own
people, it is to be hoped that a
similar resolution will be presented
and that it will become fixed lay.
If the gas remains within the
State, it will not be long until we
shall witness the most active indus.

Correspondence 4th.
On the death of Jessie Casey,
little daughter of Charles and Ly-
dia Casey:
How lonely and destitute is the
house where bereavement has comel
How heavy are the hearts of those
who continue to do their appointed
duties. which have now become a
task-work, from which the relish
is goneI How dreary is the path
of life, with its miserable routine
of cares; its childish toys and play
things. its amusements and its fol-
lies, to those who have stood by
the open grave! 1t is not that
they would complain, but that they
are bereaved.
No one can fill Jessie's place in
the vacant chair No one will take
her place in our Sunday school.
No one will take her. place in our
hearts, and we would not have the
void filed. even if we could. II
will be sacred thought in all the
years to come to parents and
friends that she shed radiance in
the home as long as she did. 1t il
in such an hour as this that hope
spreads her pinion, and we rest oul
faith on the belief that our darling
is not dead. She is only gone from
us for little while.
She is not dead! The child of our affection
But gone unto the school
Where she no longer needs our poor protec,
! lection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
Day after day we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Not as a chiIa shall we again behold her,
For, when with raptures wild,
| In our embraces we again enfold her,
She will not be n child,
But fair maiden in her f.ther's mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion,
Shall we behold her face.

The silver Question.

Those who sneer at the silver
question as having been a "craze"
are much farther from the line of
reason than the most enthusiastic
free silverite in the country. 1t
was the argument of free silver
men that the country needed more
money-more than the production
of gold and the foreign demand
for our products at that time was
putting into circulation. In other
words. the production was so lim-
tied and the foreign demand for
our products so slight that our
volume of money grew small and
scarce money made interest very
high, and values very low. The
marvellous gold field discoveries in
Alaska and South Africa have in
creased the production almost 20
times. 1t is said that where the
world was mining a dollars worth
of gold eight years ago it is now
mining nineteen and half dollars
worth. The free silver theory was
based ON absolute need of more
money. The more money has
come to us through tremendous
increase of the production of gold,
and so those who are hide bound
politically, or never knew what
free silver meant, are saying it was
craze. 1t was not craze. 1t was
the result of a scarcity of coin and
if the new finds of rich gold fields
had not been made we would have
had to use about twenty times as
much silver as now to make money
market easy" We needed more
money, the gold fields have furn-
ished it, and the necessity of more
silver is, at least for the time, not
pressing. But let the gold mines
again become exhausted and our
products surpass our money vol
ume, and prices will drop and the
need for more silver will again
arise. A money standard which
depends on the mine output of a
single metal is more unstable than
one based on two metals Call it
silver craze if they choose, but re-
lief came through discovery of rich
gold fields and the greatly
increased production of the
coin of which our money is made,
the same result that the reopeniug
of the silver mines would have
produced Rochester lind } Sen
tinel.
