fall was somewhat deficient.
The good showers were very
benz fetal for crops. Threshins
for wheat, rye and oats still con-

oats. Early corn is maturing
nicely, and good crop Is assured;

A firm of eastern capitalists have
secured an option on the farm
above the city which is owned by
the heirs of John D. Aukrom. We
are credibly Informed that the
whole farm Is now under option,
the price being In round numbers
Fifty thousand dollars. The land IS
all above high water mark, a beau
tiful piece of property, desirable
location for a city and manufactur.
ing plants.
While 1t Is not known for Ger
tainty what the land Is being
bought for, 1t Is reported by those
who know the most about the mat
ter, that the firm intends to erect
an immense steel and iron mills,
tin plate mills, all kinds of mills to
manufacture tubing, piping, and
the finished product of all kinds OF
iron. The plant will cost between
two and three million dollars when
completed. Many lots will be
opened up and sold and houses
built for the workingmeu and their
families. This Is the report but all
that we know now to be true IS the
fact that the land Is all under op.
ton.
Such plant so near our city
means a large and permanent city
here. 1t will bring US Street car
line beyond any question; In short
time the line will be extended
into the interior of the county As
soon as work begins on this tract
of land the Board of Trade should
take hold of the matter and see to
putting in a fine little steamer to
carry passengers to and from the
new city which In time will no
doubt be part OF the City of Sis.
tersville. 1t Is going to be the
greatest thing that has located
here and will be better than the dis
covery of oil here because it means
a permanent city of Sistersville.
The land Is all In Tyler county and
that will add much to our tax list.
1t means fine schools and every
thing that goes to make up grow.
Ing city.
The company will run Its own
gas into the works from the big gas
field on Willow Fork which Is only
a mile or so from the Ankrom farm.
We have every reason to believe
this plant will be built and the land
converted into big city aud man
featuring centre. Sistersville Is the
only large city near 1t, and with a
steamboat and street car line to 1t
means all the trade will be brought
to this city. Sistersville certainly
has bright future before her a.
this time. In tact, the outlook was
never before SO bright.

Transfer of Valuable Property

Mrs. M. Yost closed a deal today
for the J. W. Boyers property at
the corner ot Wells and Diamond
streets. This Is one Of the most
desirable business locations In the
city, and for which Mrs. Yost has
been negotiating for some three
months. We are not at liberty at
this writing to state just what the
building will be used for, neither
can we state whar Mr.. Boyers re-
ceived for the prope.ty, but the
price was very close to the $4,000
mark.

WAS 1T A HOLD-Up?
Various Stories Told On the Hold.
Up Charges at Salt Lake. .-.-Lo-
cal EIks Make no Complaint.

There are various stories rife regard
ing the manner in which the Elke were
treated in Salt Lake City. The Salt
Lake papers acknowledge that there
were many cases Of extortion practiced
upon the visitors to Zion; but on the
other hand there are many who deny
that there was any proportion of the
charges true. Among this number are
many of the Grand junction contingent,
who are loud in their praises OF the man.

residents treated the visiting thropg.
Talks were had this morning with
Frank b. Haskell. Edwin Marsh, James
81. Cosgrove and others and they are un-
stinted in their praisss Of the manner OF
their treatment. They acknowledge
that extortion was attempted in a num-
Der of instances. but these were 90

tive committee of the Elks and the chief
Of police. who worked in perfest accord

upon those who attempted e1tortlon up
ON the city's guests that the practice
was not general.
However, there are several people from
this city who were IN attendance at the

THE ARABS OF YEMEN.
A story Which throws Strong

Light on Their Character.
The Times Of India tells the follow
ing story to show the character of the
Arabs of Yemen. \ man of Zaranils
who several times cut the telegraph
lines and who was punished more than
once was caught on one occasion by
an Arab sheik in charge of the lines.
The sheik intended to send him to
Needy for imprisonment, but the wife
of the accused came in and stood as a
guarantee for his future good behavior.
The sheill accepted the bail and re-
leased him, but shortly afterward he
again resorted to his old practice OF
cutting the wires and bolted away to
another village at a distance of days
march. where he had another wife.
The sheik then sent for his first wife,
who stood security for him, and told
her he would disgrace her among the
Arabs if she failed to bring in her hus-
band. - --s---t
The woman asked the sheik not to
"spread the black Sheet Ia custom of
the country when any one commits
breach of trusD until the following
day. She started that night. taking a
sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus-
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode and stabbed him,
cut his throat and carried his head
back to k2r hc1ne. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head Of her husband, saying: "Here
is your criminal, and l am freed from
the bail. Please do not affix the black
sheet. London Telegraph.

WATER RIGHTS INvloLATE.
Springs and Wells In Palestine Are
Protected by Severe Laws

Water is the most precious thing in
springs and wells are very severe.
Most of the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
eled basins and reser, oirs out of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs,
and in many places here no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich shells can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which be walled
up with masonry and filled with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled in the rock as acts
of piety as we'll as pew are as I'M
mortal as their names and will live for
ever as long G.s men feel thirst
According to just custom of the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned well
might refuse his neghbor water for
his family or his flocks, but the lord
of the spring was inviolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure or
fill up well was an objectionable
crime. When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the well of Abra
ham. they intended to challenge him
to Wal of determination. These GUS
toms and regulations remain today

HELP THIS OFFICER FIND THE BURGLAR.
THE GREAT JOKE, DEATH.
Funny Side OF Dying often Created
of In Literature.

a
of In Literature.
Death said publisher, "has been
treated humorously in our literature
often. Indeed l am quite sure that a
collection of many thick volumes might
be made under the title of Deaths
Funny Side Thomas Hood was one
Of our best writers of this sort of
verse Don't you remember his Ballad
on the young sailor who died heart
broken over his girls unfaith? The
last StanZa was:
Ills death, which happened in his berth,
AT forty odd befell;
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell
Hood did another ballad on the sub
ject of soldier who lost both legs in
battle, who was in consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart and who then hung
himself. Now that is rather tragic, is
it not? 1t has bizarre but none the
less poignant tragic note Guy de
Maupassant indeed once handled al
most this same situation, but he han
died it from the opposite viewpoint,
and don't you remember how he mar
rated the first, the crucial, meeting of
the lovers after Ben Battles double
amputaGon?
"But when be called on Nellie Gray
| She made him quite scott,
I And when She saw his wooden legs
| Began TO take them off.
"This treatment drove Ben to de-
| spair:
$50 round his melancholy neck
rope he did entwine
| And for the second time in life
Enlisted in the line.
"And there he hung till he was dead
| AS any nail in town;
For, though despair had cut him up,
| 1t could not cut him down.
''There is a tremendous literature Of
humorous epitaphs. There must be,
fancy, 10000 of these, but two Of them
are all can recall The first goes:
"Here lies the body Of mild Maria;
She went one day to start the fire.
But the wood was green,
So she used kerosene,
And now she's where the fuel Is drier.
s'The other is grimmer:
Life is lie, and all things show it;
I thought SO once. and now know it.
"Then there are songs on the side
splitting aspects of death, some of
which have caused tender hearted Ia
dies to double up with mirth. Johnny
Jones and His Sister Sue is one such
song, and bet that six people out of
ten in America know it by heart.
Yes" the publisher concluded, "un-
der the title Of Deaths Funny Side an
anthology of many, many volumes
could be made. The anthology should
be bound in black pigskin, with grin
