A CLEVER FORGER
Gets 500 From the Exchange Bank
of Warrington on Forged Check.

On the seventeenth of June @. L.
Rogers, of Margaret, had check
for 500 purported to be signed BY
Mrs. L. f. Rogers, cashed at The Elk
change bank says che Warrington
Advocate.
The signature was very clever
forgery, and Cashier Jolliffe, who
knew Rogers and his family connec
tions, had no hesitaney in paying
over the money on 1T.
A few days afterward the cashier
of the bank received telegram from
Wheeling signed Mrs. l.. f. Rogers,
requesting him to forward $50 to
Wheeling by return mail The tele-
gram aroused Mr.. Jolliffe's suspic
ions and he called Mrs. Rogers on
the telephone and the spurious char
acter of the 500 check was discov-
cred. The local police were notified
and the description of Rogers was
sent to the chief OF police at Wheel
ing.A detective located Rogers at the
Park hotel. registered as Osses Lee.of
London, Eng. This man was taken
into custody and yroyed to be the
party wanted.
On Friday officer Stealey went to
Wheeling and retarned with his man
on the noon train Saturday. After
eating hearty dinner Rogers was
taken before Squire ChrIsty, but at
his earnest request the case was
postponed until Monday.
Rogers is about % years of age,
has a good education, was well
brought up and comes of an excel
lent family. His people are said to
be very well off and there seems to
be no reason for his resorting to for
gerry for money. Mrs. Rogers, whose
name he forged, is in reality his half
sister, and by marriage with Rog
er's uncle she is also his aunt
Up to few weeks ago 0. L. Rog-
ers was employed in the glass works
in Clarksburg. On Monday he
waived examination and was bound
over for action by the Grand Jury.

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER
He is Fearless for Duty but Generally
Unknown to Fame.

In the Paterson riots recently a
newspaper reporter who was on duty
for his paper was shot through the
lungs and may die. 1t is only when
something Of this kind happens that
a reporters name gets into the public
prints. At other times the world
hears little and knows little about his
life, which is one OF frequent peril
and hardship.
A soldier does daring deed and is
hailed hero by his grateful country
men A fireman saves life and his
courage is lauded by his fellow citi-
zens. Even the prosaic policeman is
given due credit for any unusual
achievement in the line of his duty,
but the reporter, whose life partakes
to some extent OF the dangers of all
the others, usually lives and dies 'snn-
wept, unhonored and unsung.
In the long march of the allies to
Pekin the reporter was there: when
the ''boys in blue" swept up San Juan
Hill, the reporter was lodging the
Spanish bullets from the blockhouse
at the Summit Pelee was still belch-
ing fire and ashes when the reporter,
far in advance of the scientific inyes-
tigator, crept into the devasted at ST.
Pierre to gather facts of the terrible
tragedy for waiting world. What
the world llearned Of these1events the
reporter risked his life to give it, but
little acclaim did he receive in return
and none, indeed, did he ask.
1.-THE newspaper reporter is one OF
the most important factors in the af-
fairs of this busy world. But, like the
men who work in the hold of great
steamship, the credit he receives Is
from his superior officers, and not
from the throngs that promenade the
deck.

MARSHALS SENT TO WATCH
The Labor Organizers and Strike Agi-
tatOrs by Jackson's Order.

Judge Jackson of Parkersburg, sent
United States Marshal G. d. Elliott
with three or four deputies to this
part of the state Sunday, to remain
indefinitely, with the strongest kind
of instructions as to the strike agita-
tors
Judge Jackson told Marshal Elliott
to remain at Fairmont until the
movement had subsidized and to watch
the agitators and arrest any upon
sight who violated in any way the
terms of his injunction. lie told him
to be especially watchful of Tom
Hagerty and the II others who are
out on bail, for he cautioned them last
week not to hold any meetings or
scheme or plan in violation of his in
junction.
1t is a serious thing to violate
special injunction of court, and es-
pecially the United States court.
Judge Jackson is evidently very much
in earnest, for he delivered particu-
lar charge to the prisoners about re-
turning to this region between now
and July II to stir up trouble again.
Marshal Elliott will arrest at once
any of the violators of the Injunction
and take them back to Parkersburg
The marshals will be stationed at
Monongah, Clarksburg and Fairmont.

To the Editor OF the Nav DOMINION:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 6.-Since
it has been your pleasure to publish
the most sensational of any of the
reports published in Columbus pa
Ipers concerning my brothers domes
tic affairs, perhaps you will have
the fairness to present briefly some
of the inside history thereof
The original suit for divorce was
filed by my brother The woman in
the case went to him and begged to
be allowed to bring the action her
self, if there must be such a suit,
presenting the argument that man
could better stand the notoriety of
being defendent in such an affair
than a woman. He consented to
this arrangement, insisting upon the
one condition that the action must
be brought, and he did not care what
she should say to give her petition
weight, just so it should be of ma
ture to be worthy of decree being
granted
There was no defense made, as it
was the object of both, after the fl
ing OF the suit, that divorce be Sc
cured, and he, instead of attempting
to hinder the result, aided it as much
as possible. The fact is, that the
divorce laws of Ohio are of such
character that any thing can be con-
strued into "extreme cruelty
Divorces by arrangement are by no
means few, and this was simply one
of them
Thanking you in advance of pub

Most Respectfully,
EMMA BoUGHNER

r. Will he held IN Washington Oct,
6th-11th. The B. & y, is historic
road and became famous during the
civil war. In one of its announce
ments speaking of historic places it
says of Harper's Ferry, the gate of the
Shenandoah valley, where the three
states of Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland come together; where the
Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers unite
where the towering sleeps of the Blue
Ridge end abruptly, frowning upon
the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quain this torictown of,Harper's Ferry.
John Brown baptised it in blood in
1859, when he captured the town and
U. S. Arsenal and made his final and
fatal stand in the engine house (known
afterwards as John Browns Fort),
alongside the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. A plain shaft, simply inscribed
now marks the location.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harpers Fer
ry fill volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was a most important stronghold TO
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.

A large and appreeiative audience
greeted Capt. r. W. Douthat at
johnson Memorial church last night
to hear from the lips of one of the
survivors of Pickett's division the
story of the battle of Gettysburg
Captain Douthat now occupies a
chair in the State University and is
a profoundly learned man, but for
the time being he was the soldier
telling soldier fashion the story of
the decisive battle OF the war
between the states. Every one who
heard understood the lecture and
will hereafter remember the general
scheme of the battle.
Captain Douthat is not in the
least degree dramatic or STACEY but
is a pleasant voiced forceful speaker
profoundly impressed with the
great theme to which he addressed
himself. He is in himself historic
figure being the last man in Pick
ett's division TO retreat from the
valley of Death, down which the
famous charge was made.
The grand old soldier was as mod
est in personal reference as true sol
diers always are, and not one word
of bitterness or uncharity fell from
his lips.
He had great story to tell-the
story of one of the fiercest and
bloodiest battles in all human his
tory, aud he told it with luminous
clearness and simplicity. 1t was
fitting that it should be told in a
house of worship for charity, love
and reconciliation breathed in its
every word.

war is now a man Of gentleness and
peace.
