Several times he started out for n

where nobody expected he would.

forming the worst blizzard that has
visited the state for years. Street
.r traffic in Omaha. Lincoln, Coun-
Gil Bluffs and other cities within the
range of the storm which has been
central over this state was almost at
a standstill and the railroads are con-
tining their efforts to moving passen
ger trains, freight trains being almost
entirely abandoned for the present.
The storm began at O'Clock this
morning and continued until mid
night without sign of abating. The
temperature tonight ranges from 10
above at Omaha to 4 at Valentine.
Nebraska, where the minimum was
reached. Owing to the suddenness
with which the blizzard struck the
country, ranchers on the ranges are
generally unprepared for it and it is
feared the loss of stock will be large.
Wires are prostrated in nearly every
direction and passenger trains are
from to 10 hours late. Several
blockades are reported by roads run
ming west through the state. but de-
tails have not vet reached the city.
The snow has reached depth of from

SENATOR DE LONGS BILLS.

Senator Horace 7. DeLong Tuesday.
introduced two bills in the senate.
they are: S. B. No 2O1-to restrict
the diver sion of water from the west
ern slope to the eastern slope for irri-
CATION purposes. The other s. b. No.
202-to build a state wagon road from
DeBeque to Collbran.
The former bill doubtless was sug
gested by the fact Of the purpose of
some eastern slope investors. with an
abundance of land on that slope to
divert the headwaters of the Grand
tains. to supply large reservoirs for
the irrigation of many thousands OF
acres. AS was suggested in the news
paper report of the attempt to take
the water of the fountain head of the
Grand river. the matter was kept a
strict secret. so that no outcry could
be made by the western slope people.
until the work was we'll under way.
By this bill Senator DeLonR hopes to
anticipate any attempt of the parties
who desire to rob the western slope
of its abundance of the irrigating
fluid.
the other bill for state road to
DeBedue. has some merit. 1t has
been introduced doubtless. in response
to some promises made by Senator De-
Long previous to his election and dur
ing his campaigning. So far as The
Sentinel is concerned it shall raise no
kicks against the state spending as
much money as possible in improving
the roads of the county of Mesa.
Mr.. DeLong said that he would in
troduce few bills and thus far he has
kept his word.

FAREWELL ALL"
Wrote "Pat McCan" on Soiled
Cuff.
And Pile of old Clothes made Suicide
Story-Ffnger marks and Footprints
in Fresh paint-DiscoYery Caused
Excltement-All a Fake.

Between five and six O'Clock Thurs
day evening, the garments OF a sup
posed suicide were found in the mid
die Of Cheat river bridge. A shirt,
vest, necktie, several collars and cuffs,
and other apparel were piled in the
middle of the bridge.
On oue Of the cuffs was written the
desperate mans farewell to the world.
He said: my name is Pat McCan.
My mother lives in Ireland. You will
find my body in the bottom OF Cheat
river Farewell to ALL
The bridge had been freshly paint
ed, and on the railing, were distinct
marks of fingers, and foot prints, as
the man climbed to his perch for the
jump into eternity. There was nc
hat, trousers, nor shoes, and there
was some conjecture as TO the proba-
bility Of these evidences being false.
Why would the suicide wear part of
his clothes and discard the rest?
Never the less, the discovery caused
considerable excitement among the
campers, along the river and the sum-
mer visitors at the hotels and club
houses. Shivers OF horror at the
thought of the respondent man, far
from home and friends, taking the
deep plunge into the dark treacherous,
waters OF Cheat, the lifeless body
probably never to be recovered, chased
up and down the backs of the gay
crowds enjoying their holiday.
News Of the suicide was brought to
town, and talk Of the affair was rife
on the streets. Some even went so
far as to identify Pat McCan as man
employed at the steel mill up Decker's
creek, some time ago.
A movement was set on foot to drag
the river, but this procedure led to
the declaration that it was a fake,
planned by some boys who are camp
ing on the river. The hoax worked,
but for all that it was not very
gracious joke.

ly of Comrades gone.
Stephen Poe and n. l.. Duyal Eul0gized
Men wept While the Chaplain
Spoke of his Death-Deplored the
Illness of General c. l.. Smith.

The Parkersburg News says:
DIR. Buchanan, chaplain OF the First
Regiment, did not hold services or
Stephenson's lawn as was expected
but stepped out in front OF his tent
on the regimental street and there
talked Informally for few minutes II
the men who crowded around. HI
took no text, but read the entire
twelfth chapter of Matthew before hi
began his talk.
'Now, men, said he, "this is al
great and beautiful world, and like the
of Gods creations, we are enjoying the
sunshine, freedom and life, but W.
must all pass away On this very
camp ground, where we stand to-day,
last year there were with US, soldiers,
whose hearts beat AS light and as hap
by as yours, and whom reveille one
year ago called forth from this tented
city as patriotic and full Of en- thusiasm
as yourselves, who have since been
called TO their reward"
Continuing, DR.. buchanan said
that there were among those who lis
tened to him some, perhaps, who
would not be 10 the land OF the living
when the brigade goes into camp again
next year. Comrades must part, he
said, and sacred friendships be broken
by the inevitable hand OF death.
Iouchingly he spoke of Regimental
Quartermaster Sergeant Stephen w.
Poe, OF Grafton, who died at his home
shortly before the beginning Of camp.
Mentioning the military record OF Ser
geant Poe, he said that he was thor
ough soldier. popular and beloved by
every man 10 the regiment, and spoke
of his enlisting in the First West Vir-
ginia Volunteers on May IA. 1898, and
remaining in the service until Febru-
airy 4, 1899, as private because he
was not granted commission. He
was honorably discharged by reason OF
the muster out of the regiment and
became commissary sergeant In the
First Infantry September II, 1897,
but was ordered supernumerary by
reason Of enlistiug in the First West
Virginia Volunteer Infantry and was
to active duty as com@issary

the grandson of General Duval, of the
Union army, during the civil war, and
came to CO mp on Aug. 5 last year, and
He was cadet officer at
bhe West Virginia University and
graduated there.
After paying the tribute TO young
Duval, DR.. Buchanan expressed his
regret at the absence of Brigadier Gen

4 glowing tribute, saying that he hop

NO TROLLEY LINE
Will be Built on West Side
This Fall.
Excessive Prices Asked BY Land Own.
ers Lead to Change of Union Utility
Company's Plans - Ccuntermanded
Orders and Stopped Work.

The Directors of the Union Utility
Company have ordered all work stop
ped on the West Side street car line
because they cannot arrange rights Of
way in West Morgantcwn without
paying exhorbitant compensation. Ia
order to avoid an excessive grade al
and beyond the brick yard it is nee
cessary to pass over lands OF Columbus
j. Long, Geo. W. johnson, Fisk and
Max Waters and Others, a distance OF
about 500 feet, and for the right OF
way over these lands the owners ask
about $4,000, price so much in ex-
cess of what is believed TO be just and
fair, that the Directors last night Or
dered all work on West Side stopped,
and all contracts for supplies cancell-
ed, as soon as it can be done.
This will end all hope of building
the line to Granville this year. II is
probable condemnation proceedings
will be instituted at the October
Court, but too late to do any work this
fall. We think il mistake to hold
up an enterprise that has already spent
over 5000, coo in land purchases on
the West Side, and over $500, 600 in
its power plant, car barn street rail-
way and electric lighting plant on the
East side, in addition to its water
works, gas lines, wells, leases, and
brick works.
1t has done more than any other
factor to add to the wealth, comfort
and attractiyeuesso Of Morgantown, and
had large plans for the future, but
its officers complain that they have
been subject to many petty annoy
ances and unnecessary expenses by
those from whom they might justly
have expected cooperation.

lines have been agreed upon and
accepted. One of these follows
Dunkard Creek from above Perry

of Jakes Run, and then extends up
Jake's Run to Mooresville.
The main line reaches Mooresville
by tunnel through the hill !
Another branch line adopted by

station on the east side of the Mon
ongahela river, but the map of this
route is not yet on file.
The route of the main survey
leaves the Pennsylvania State line
at the farm of &c. Henkins, follows
Rudolph's Run to Dunkard Creek
and leaving Dunkard it extends
in southeasterly direction through
the lands of G. f. Tenant, Geo. w.
Fox, G. +. Johnson's heirs, Mrs.
Thos. Foley, DC. Core, Elsie Moore,
w. N. Sine, H. L. Sine to Moores-
vile. From here the route follows
Jake's Run, past Statler's Run post
Office and pumping station, crossing
through tunnel at the Peter Youst
farm, and down Paw Paw Creek by
McCurdysville to Rivesville.
| The route is scenic one through
a hill country, but the grades are
easy, and the course not such as to
prohibit the route being used for
fast trains. A section of the county
rich in coal deposits is traversed.

PROF. THOM AS Il. HODGES
Record of Popular Universit,
Instructor.

The Parkersburg News has the
following interesting sketch, with q
picture of Prot. Thomas Z. Hodges
Major Thomas E. Hodges has by
his afability, so ingratiated himself
into the good graces of everyone
with whom he has come into contact
in the West Virginia National Guard
that the brigade staff would seem
very incomplete without him. Since
1897 he has been inspector of small
arms on the staff of the first brigade
and, as much as any one else in the
State service, he enjoys army life
for which he is well adapted.
His first connection with the
Guard was when, in 1890, he was
elected captain of Company l, OF
Huntington. Afterward he was com
missioned major under the old or
ganization, and at Camp Monongah-
ella, in 1890, was commissioned lieu
tenant colonel, which rank he retain
ed until at Camp Kenna, Charleston,
il 1910 WHCu uC W 40 cltCbcu CUlOuel
n took command of the Second
Regiment, upon the resignation of
Colonel Ford. He found it necessary
to resign the colonelcy when be &C
cepted the chair of natural philoso-
ply of the West Virginia University
but later accepted the position he
now holds on the brigade staff.
Major Hodges commanded the Sec
ond Regiment at Boggs Run during
the coal miners strike there, and
was also with the Second at Eagle,
Fayette county He did not go into
the volunteer service In 1890
The West Virginia University is
his alma mater, where he received
both the A. B. and M. A. degrees
after receiving which he was princi-
pal of the Morgantown schools, and
later at Marshall College. Not only
is Major Hodges professor OF physics
at the University, but he also is the
assistant treasurer at that institu
ton.
