INSECTS ATTACK CAMPERS.
Pittsburgers Have Queer Experience
While "Gigging" on Cheat River.

While in camp on the Cheat River,
between Point Marion and Mt. Cha"
teau, party of Pittsburgers had a
novel experience by being caught in a
snow storm Of insects. Some Of the
party were out "gigging" in fiat bot
tom boats on the night Sept. %,
when suddenly they found themselves
in the midst of thick swarmof white
flies about the size OF large mosquito.
The insects lowered around them in
such dense clouds that it was inpos-
sible TO see foot ahead and were SO
annoying that they could not be driv-
en- away Edward Butcher who was
one of the party, thinks that the in
sects were probably attracted by the
light that was in one end of the boat.
Old residents Of the locality when
told of the occurrence did not know
what explanation to offer for the phe-
nomenon as they had never met with
a like experience. The campers not
only suffered from the annoyance OF
the swarm, but every time one OF the
insects few against their faces IL left
smarting pain just as If they had
been bierced with pin.
When the boat finally reached shore
there were at least six inches of dead
tlles at the bottom.

must hang for the murder Of John
Richardson last October, while
working on the Short Line, was con-
vayed to him recently.
The following in all probabilities
the last letter that State Henry will
write, was written to his attorney
and in it he declares his innocence
to the last. When the life of State
Henry will be snuffed out of this,

there will end one of the hardest

1902 Hon. j. W. McIntire:
Dear Sir:-I have seen the letter
which You received from the Hon.
Governor, stating that he could not
see his way clear to spare my body.
May God bless you, dear Mr.. McIn-
tire. You have fought the case with
gratitude and free will, and my
heart is filled with thanksgiving to
God and you and all the sympathiz-
ing people. | want you and the jury
and the State prosecuting attorney
to be here and let me see them, and
see what they have done in the face
of God and their fellowman. God s
grace is sufficient for me, for he said
BLESSED are we when men shall re-
vile you and prosecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against
you falsely for my sake; rejoice and
be exceedingly glad, for great Is
your reward in heaven; for so perse.

before you" Praise God, it is sweet
to die and be ready, and die like

you, Mr. James, look to God, who
can give you life and bright crown
shining with righteousness. Oh!
may God look down from heaven up
on all who will have the law to ful
fill by man, and may God forgive
them all, is my prayer. They have
got to stand before God to give an
account of this, they do to me. l
will be there on the right hand of
God my Father, when He shall say
unto them all, What is this you all
have done to State, my son, my in

pointed by Or. Purinton as chairman

1T is possible that there is plenty
Of room and that the students have
already, for the most part, made ar
rangements about places to stay. Be
that as it may want to carry out

Houses are needed here. People have
no places to CO. There are no vacant
houses in the town and hundreds
more of population will be here soon.
"There is no lodging the issue. 1t
must be met squarely. What do the
business people of the town propose
to do? / think that they will do
what they should do and that is to
build houses.
zone man connected with one of
the new mills up Deckers creek told
me that he would rent one hundred
and fifty houses at once If he could
get them. He will guarantee the
rent or rathes he will rent them him
self and then in turn rent them TO
his men.
"a splendid return on the invest
ment is assured right from the start.
There is no question about it. Nor
gantown has great future but her
people must build houses. Unless
there IS lot of this done the town
will lose much that it has gained by
hard work. .
mo town in the state has better
prospects than Morgantown but her
people must help along with the nat
ural advantages she possesses. 1t
wont do to sit down and let the town
grow itself. 1t will take plenty of

ought to be. / hope to see these used

gree but according to the demands Of

ship game from one state to another

POWERFUL PLAY.
Little Talk and Much Good Acting
so to Make up s'0ur New Minis
ter"

so to Make up sour New Minis
| ter"
Denman Thompson and Geo. w.
| Ryer's latest success, "OuT New Min
ister,n which is now in its second year
comes to Swishers Theatre for its local
presentation on Monday Sept. 10.
This is the first New England play
that these authors have written since
that dramatic evergreen was first
brought forward seventeen years ago.
The scene of the play is laid in Hard
scrabble, n. H., a poor farming com
munity. While the new minister is
the central figure, and perhaps the
strongest character in the play, there
are a number of others, such as, for
example, Lem Ransom, returned
convict; Curt Ho'ten, ia cute rustic;
Darius Startle, country detective;
Obadiah Burton, with settled opin-
ions; ack Frasier an escaped convict;
Nance Ransom, LENS daughter, and
Dorcas Tattleby, name and nature
alike. In writing this play Mr..
Thompson and Mr.. Ryer have indulg-
ed in as little talk as possible, but
that little has been made intensely
interesting, powerful and effective,
their long experience in play building
having impressed them with the fact
that people go to theatre TO witness
good acting rather than to hear phil
osophical discussions. The original
cast will be seen including such well
known players as John Terrlss, John
Barker, Joseph Conyers, Charles Sted-
man, Louis Furce, Grant Foreman,
John P. Drawn, Ethel Brooke Fergu-
sonr Phila May and Mrs. Geo. w.
Barnum.
