INJURIES
Received by Being Struck by
Train Proved Fatal.
Mrs. Hess Died sunday Morning at
Her Home.

The death of Mrs. May Hess took
place at her late home at $40 o'clock
Sunday morning and was the result of
injuries received few weeks ago from
being struck by freight train on the
West Virginia s. Pittsburg division Of
the B. s. o. railroad. 1t appears that
she ran out of her house in front of an
approaching train and that the engine
struck her before it could be stopped.
She was thrown forty feet and miracu-
lously escaped instant death. That
she fingered SO long after being fatally
injured is strange. At one time it was
thought she would get well. She was
"a years of age. The funeral. was held
Monday afternoon at O'Clock and in.
terment was made in the graveyard
on Haymond's hill. She was a mem.
Der of the Watson family.

GOOD
PROSPECTS
Has a Home Company for OIL In
Arkansas.

Captain John w. Cofman is home
from Madison county, Ark, where he
spent the simmer looking after the
interests of the West Virginia Min
eral, Oil and Gas Company, in which
he and other local people are the prln-
cipal stockholders. He met with bad
luck in the drilling OF a well for oil.
at depth OF rs feet good showing
of oil was found but a tremendous
flow Of water was struck. He esti-
mates that the water flowed at the
rate OF 100 barrels an hour. After
checking the flow Of water to some
extent they drilled to the depth of l42
feet and lost the tools. Operations
will be resumed in March, at which
time Mr.. Coffman win return to Ar
kansas. He is highly pleased with the

Glen Falls Miner Goes Visiting Over
to Ocean Mines and Gets Mixed
Up Seriously i'm a Drunken
Broil With His Host.
Shoots Fellow and Gets Shot--Later on His Way
to the City He Receives Beating and
is Robbed of Sixty Dollars-
Wounds are Slight.

A drunken broil transpired at Ocean
mines among the foreign miners Sun
day morning and the spirit of murder
reigned. Two miners received slight
gun.shot wounds, but luckily no one
was killed.
The affair seems to have been in eel
ebration of visiting miner from Glen
Falls. He was young Austrian with
an unpronounceable name. The affair
occurred In one OF the houses at Ocean
and the scene was of the wild West
order, in fact, dangerously alarming
for awhile.
The visitor was handy with gun,
and had one, which he attempted to
use, doubtless desiring to blow some
ones brains out. He shot at one OF
the Ocean miners and the ball grazed
his neck, making slight wound. AS
he attempted to shoot the second time
some one in the crowd knocked his
arm upward and the ball struck thei
ceiling and bounded back, striking the
one who fred the shot. The ball i'm
bedded itself In the flesh OF his right
wrist.
That was sufficient experience for
him for one day and he and some OF
his fellows started toward the city to
have the wound dressed. AS they were
passing the tin plate mills he was set
upon by a gang OF foreigners and given
beating, but he managed to escape
without any broken bones and they
came to the city. They told their
troubles to Policeman Harry Brooks,
who ushered them into police head
quarters. The mayor had the officer
TO take the fellow to the city physi-
clan, DIR. N. Peck, who picked the ball
out with his fingers and found that
the injury amounted to but little. The
physician found slight cut on one Of
the fellows ears.
TheAustrian claimed that he had
been robbed of $50 in one OF the
ARRAYS but did not know who did it.
BE had s25 on his person. No arrests
have been made.

IMPERIAL
by a very Destructive
Fire.
Building 6utted and Saloon Mass
ofRuIns-
Marrow Escape Of Mr. NellIs from
Cremation.

Many of the residents Of the city
were surprised, when they came down
town Sunday morning to learn that a
serious fire had occurred that morning
at the Imperial saloon, owned by
George A. Nellis and John Duffy. No
fire alarm had been sounded TO warn
the people.
The fire was discovered about $50
o'clock and the fire department with
headquarters near by was upon the
scene promptly but experienced con-
siderable difficulty in getting at the
blaze with the water. Doors and win
dows had to be broken in and by the
time that was done the fire was under
much headway. The structure on the
inside readily invited speedy spread
OF the fire and the flames went through
the building from one end to the
other almost with the rapidity OF a
cyclone. The department worked he
roically and deserves much praise for
its good service. The water pressure
was extraordinarily strong and when
turned upon the flames proved quickly
effective.
Mayor Grille was one of the first on
the scene and fought the flames with
heroism OF a veteran fireman. Chief
Isenhart also did good work in man
aging the fighting and assisting the
fremen. Property owners in that
section believe that the efforts Of
these two ofacers saved their build
ings for them.
The blaze was fierce one and
leaped high into the atmosphere.
The walls OF the Clifford building on
the east side of the saloon were con-
siderably scorched even to the top.
B. a. Browns office on the other side
of the saloon building was slightly
damaged and considerable injury was
done to his ofice furniture and other
property. He was sleeping in the Of
flee but escaped before the smoke
could sufrocate him.
The occupants of the st. Charles
hotel were greatly alarmed as the fire
appeared very threatening at one
time.
The saloon apparatus and fixtures
were almost completely ruined and
the stock of whiskeys, wines, brandies
and beer destroyed or rendered use
less. The fire burned of the heads of
the whiskey barrels and much of the
contents perished. The bar was al
most completely destroyed. The
handsome, large mirror is total
wreck. The building itself is practi-
cally gutted and the damage to it is |
heavy.
The fire is supposed to have origi- |
mated from the cook stove in the res
taurant as all other fires were out.
The flames were discovered in that
section.
Ed. Dorsey, Woody Dye and George
Nellis, who were asleep up stairs, had
narrow escapes from cremation.
Dorsey was aroused first and he awoke
the others. He and Dye Immediately
left the building, but Mr.. N Ills, 1t
seems, was not thoroughly aroused
and fell to sleep again. The heat
finally aroused him but all escape
seemed cut of by the flames. He
jumped through a second story window
to the street below and miracuIously
escaped other injury than a severely
Sprained left wrist.
Nellis and Duffy estimate their loss
at 5000 with $1,000 insurance. Mrs.
Ed. ]. Coleman, owner of the building,
suffers loss of 5000 also with $500
Insurance.

Yankeedom's One Hundred.

Y Il MUST he conceded that the
n Gevmaln kaiser knows his busi-
H. ness. The latest proof is em-
bodied in the New York Suns
story of the plans of u luncheon which
certain business men are to give in
honor of Prince Henry, Feb. 2G.
From this it apears that the kaiser
told the German ambassador that he
wished his brother to meet one hum
dred of the Americans who are chiefly
responsible for the wonderful advances
in industry and commerce made by the
American people in the past few years.
He intimated that he desired Prince
Henry to meet and converse with these
men us informally as possible, so that
he might learn as much about them,
their ways and points of view as possi-
BILE in brief time. The emperor is
credited with asking his ambassador to
so arrange this meeting that not mere
ly those Americans whom the news
paers portray as among the foremost
men of their generation but those who
actually are the makers of Americas s
present proserity will be present. He
wants his brother to go up against the
real thing, to use Il graphic slang eN-
preston.
The liaiser's wish will be complied
with. 1t is not an easy task TO pick
out the one hundred men of most i'm
portance in the business life of a coun-
try so full of great men and men re-
putedly great as is the United States.
But Il committee OF twelve New York
ers, according to the Sun, have under
taken to make this selection. They a, e
working in secret. Their names are
withheld. Pull cannot reach them.
Nobody outside of the few who are
necessarily in the secret will know until
after the guests assemble who are 70
constitute this temporary academy OF
Yankee immortals. The first definite
knowledge that the public will have on
the subject will be when the names are
published the morning after the lun-
cheon shall have taken place.
Hence there is nothing to do but
wait.

! \A AN A MAN be too good? This
A question may seem absurd,
| &ssup/ but every little While some
thing arises which appears to
give point to it, One of these occur
| rences has just taken place in Ne
| braska.
| In the town of Bellwood there lived
for fifteen years man by the name
| of Gould. He was an elder in 4 church, ,
| he taught in the Sunday school: and
his exemplary abstinence from all the
visible small vices that in other men
call for professional reprobation by
teachers of morals, was made the
theme of many eulogistic references.
He was the cashier of the village
bank; and here, again, he supplied an
example for the youth of the town. Yet
the dispatches now say that during
these fifteen years Gould has been ut
tering forged paper until the total OF
his peculations reaches the amazing
sum of 100000. The other day be was
found out, he confessed and is now in
jail.
We do rot cite his case to furnish Il
chance fot cheap witticism at bank
| cashiers. We doubt that there is a
| body of men in the country averaging
higher for honesty than bank cashiers
The point in Gould's case, and in all
other cases of a similar nature, is that
it does not do to be too good. In every
man there is about so much natural
cussedness which will have to find vent
during the course of his lifetime. 1T
| can be damned up for time; but in
that event it is likely to accumulate
until it bursts the restraining mau-
ences ana cventuatcs in a flood of
deVllment.
Our observation is that the man who
does not try to be unnaturally good
but is content with being just healthily
good, or humanly good, with a raason-
able spillway for the outflow of natural
tendencies, makes, in the long run, the
safer fellow in position of trust.
