in the United States court Thursday.

incensed person and claims he will
seek revenge and reparation for the
loss he has been occasioned by being
compelled to lie in jail:
Cook was indicted about six months
ago on q charge Of impersonating an
otficer and was bound over to the Unit
ed States court. In default Of bond
for 81 900 he was sent to jail where he
has since remained. For the past two
months he has acted as turnkey. The
charge upon which he was arrested
was preferred at Clarksburg.
1t is claimed by Cook that he has
been cruelty prosecuted. The case
was dismissed for the reason that
enough witnesses were not present to
secure aconviction. 7. G. Staley, who
preferred the charge; T J Foster and
q. B. johnson, Of Clarksburg, we're in
Parkersburg Thursday al witnesses.
For several months previous togoing

Cabinet and Cabinet Making.

The gradual reconstruction of Mr..
Rooseyelt's Cabinet lends a direct and
timely interest to an article which the
Hon. Charles Emory Smith has just
written for the Saturday Evening
Post, of Philadelphia.
Cabinet and Cabinet-Making tells
how Presidents choose their official
advisers: how nice political consideia-
tions influence their choice and re-
duce to lowest terms the number of
available candidates.
One of the most important conclu-
slons reached by Mr.. Smith is that
most Presidents have followed one of
two methods in forming their oiiicia
families; that Of Mr.. Lincoln and his
predecessors, who surrounded them
selves with party leaders and former
Presidential candidates, and that of
Mr.. Mckinley, who appointed strong,
broad.gauged men, regardless of pre-
vious political prominence.
This article will appear in an early
issue Of the Saturday Evening Post.

Hugh MichaeIs Got Beyond the Control
Of His Father.

Sunday night Constable Marcellus
McClung went to Adamston and ar
rested Hugh Michaels, aged IA years,
son of j. E. Michaels, a coal miner.
He was brought to jail here. This
action was taken upon the charge of
incorrigbility preferred by the lads
father. Monday night Squire S. w.
Gordon heard the case and decided to
hold him for the. Reform School au-
thorities. The evidence developed
the fact that the boys mother was
dead and that his father being en-
ployed in the mines could not look
after him. AS a result he had rough
ed it and. being thrown into all sorts
of company he had become bad. The
boy in tears was sent back to jail,
where he will remain until taken to
