Oggic Sailor, daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. c. c. Sailor, was born
July o, 1891, and died April S,i903.
About eight months ago the dread
disease, consumption, took hold
upon her cryoung lifcand soon own
ed all that was mortal. She went
to Canon City, Colo, last Scptem-
Der expeticng to regain her health,
but the change failed to benefit
her so the first OF March she start
ed home and stopped ut Sylvia,
Kan, to visit her nunt and there
died.
Oggic was n very bright and
promising young lady. She was
always in good spirits and hopeful
to the last. No one knew her but
TO love her. Although she seemed
to cling to life, she was perfectly
resigned to Gods will, for at srv-
cral times she intimated to her
mother and friends "thc Lords
Ways were his own"
The remains arrived her on FRI
day, April 10, aud We're conveyed
to New Providence, on Loutre,
where funeral services were con-
Quoted by Elder c. A, Elkin after
which the remains were consigned
to their last resting place in the
beautiful cemetery at that place.
She leaves father, mother and
three brothers-Duard, Malcolm
and Isaac to mourn her departure.
To the bereavcd family and
friends we would say, let us ever
live in Gods fear, and In the hope
of meeting her in the bright be-
yoEd. A FRIEND.

CHARLES SOLOMON.

Are not all providcnces surpr is

suggestive that one In lifc's initial

and successes Of this delightful
world? Hopes are cnt OFF; earthly

The young man, Charles Solo,
mon, was called away Sunday last
ut near high noon and had faced
the event through many painful
weeks Of suffering. In that grave
situation he turned his weary eye
to the gentle Helper In suffering,
through death, and with life. This
was his confession.
In the early morning over the
"city OF the dead" dismal fog
lets down it's mantle over some
grave. The memorial shaft seems
broken oil and incomplete, but the
sun, once risen, the fog dispeled
under sunlight, unobscured, 1t Is
complete and "entirc wanting
nothing" in monumental reminder
and prophecy. So this young life.
He was born February 10th, 1878
and died April 10Th, 1903. "Thanks
be to God for this unspeakable
gift"
Thanks to the young men and
women who sang so beautifully,
the sweet funeral hymns. Thanks
to Jesus Christ good to mother and
brother OF the young man. X.
Charles was employed by James
Alvey In the barber shop. He was
on duty Thursday and died the
following Sunday.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home Monday by Rev. T.
Penn after which the remains were
laid In their final resting place In
the city cemetery.

Nothing definite In railroad news
this week. Several surveying
gangs are at work on the Z. & A..
cut-oif route. The principal sur
vey seems to parallel the Wabash
to point near Wellsville, running
through the Whitcoak neighbor-
hood and crossing the Middletown
and Montgomery road near Ex-
celsior school house and running
little south Of Bellilower. We
understand Henry Kamp has con-
tracted 1850 acres Of land laying
just south Of Bellilowcr to the Bur-
lington. The Mexico papers this
week report the sale OF land in the
eastern suburbs of that city to the
Burlington and c. & A. 1t is gem
orally believed that there Is no
question now about the building
OF the road.

New Mining Con1psny.

IRA WILSON IL Still operating the
coal mine on John Earnest farm
near Brush Creek church. lie has
the past winter sold all the coal he
could get out at 10 cents at the
bank. Saturday +. II. Algermis-
sen and A. w. Ferguson, Of this
place, and II. G. Kite, of Danvillc,
went out there and, after inspect-
ing the mine, formed n company
with Mr.. Wilson and leased the
tract of land from Mr.. Earnest.
They will place facilities on the
ground for getting out the coal
much faster. There Is a twclvc-
foot vein sixty-three feet from the
surface. Mr.. Wilson has n shaft
ks feet down to the vein. They
pronounce the quality genuine
candle coal. Mr.. Ferguson has
some of IL ON display at his store
here.
With the new railroad from Mex
leo to Old Monroe running within
n short distance OF this coal mine
IL will undoubtedly prove n bonan-
IN TO the new company. They
have sent samples of this coal to
st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City.
Pittsburg and other large cities and
they are receiving the most ilatter-
ing reports. We hope this new
company will realize their most
sanguinc expectations for It would
edd materially to the wealth OF
Montgomery county.
Here Is MIR. Algermissen's de-
scription of the mine as he found
IL:
"About two years ago Mr.. Ira
Wilson was prospecting along
Brush Creek when no discovered
coal cropping out along the banks
Of the creek. After securing per-
mission from Mr.. j. w. Earnest to
prospect further, he decided 10
sink shaft about a half-milc
southeast of where he discovered d
the coal cropping out Of the creek
bank. So confident was Mr.. Will
son that he commenced sinking
this shaft ixs feet without any H.
nancial aid whatever, about n year
ago.
"After working for six weeks,
reaching n depth Of fifty feet, he
struck the object he had been
working for so industriously and
when he proceeded to go deeper 1t
seemed to him that he would new
er strike the bottom OF the fine
coal vein for he went through
twelve feet of solid candle coal be-
fore he struck a rock. Then he
boarded or lined the shaft with 2x6
white oak joist and the work shows
It was done by mechanic. In
stead OF making the partition solid
he made a ladder OF 2x4. Being
without means he proceeded to
mine the coal all alone. 1t seems
almost beyond comprehension to
describe this task. He would de-
scend this sixty-three-foot ladder,
and would I'LL the tub with coal,
climb up to the surface, drive up
the horse and when the tub arrived
empty 1t and proceed to go down
the ladder again to refill the tub.
A person can only form an idea OF
this task by descending into the
shaft one time.

SURVEYING ROUTE
For Trolley Line to Granville
Engineers at Work Today.

steam Railroad May be Built Down
the West Side-May Connect With
the Wabash or Lake Erie and West
ern Rich Coal Field to BE Opened
up.
a corps of engineers was put to
work on the west side this afternoon
under the direction of Prof. r. L.
Morris, surveying route for a
trolley line to Granville. The local
company is preparing to extend IFS
line to that point at an early date.
They are not ready to give the de
tails of their plans yet, but the
proposition presents itself as pay
ing investment.
Along with this trolley route a
survey will also be made for a rail
road. The recent purchases of large
tracts of land on that side of the
river, by Senator Elkins and local
capitalists would seem to justify
some conclusions of vast Importance
to this section.
1t is altogether probable that a
railroad will be built down the west
side OF the river to connect with the
Wabash il that road runs a branch
by way OF Mooresville or down
Whitley creek. Otherwise, con-
nection might be made With the
Lake Erie and Western which is
gradually extending up the river.
Such railroad would open up
one of the richest coal fields IN the
world. 1t would command the pick
of the coal IN Monongalia and
Greene counties and control all that
fronting on the river Some develop
ments of great Importance may be
expected in that direction soon.

SPEAKS FOR BROOKE.
Hinton Newspaper Wants to see Genial
Professor Made Dean of Law Depart

Judge Okey Johnson, Dean of the
West Virginia Law School is dead,
and we are sorry for it, He was a
big-hearted, brainy man and one whose
name Will ever be linked with the
history of our State. says the Hinton
Herald.
Naturally speculation follows as to
his probable successor liz the West
Virginia University. There is enc
man who merits this honor and who
IS worthy to receive it. One man
whose knowledge Of the common and
statute law is, we say, unsurpassed In
this country. One man who is in
every sense of the word gentleman,
as we'll as a lawyer and scholar
HIS name is st. George Tucker Brooke.
Let the Board OF Regents make no
mistake. Let the honor and the
mantle fall where it Ia right and JUS
tice belongs. Let it go to one who
has done more for the West Virginia
Law School than any other man in
the State Let, DR.. Brooke be APP
pointed.

CONTRACTOR GONE.
VIM. Freeman out of Town and En-

VIM. Freeman, contractor In the
employ Of the Valley Wood Work
ing Company, who came here from
Ceredo, year or two ago, left town
last night in company with his son,
and today, the carpenters who were
working for him are considerably wor-
ried about some cash that is coming
to them.
Freeman had under contract houses
for Lucas, Vance, Brockett, Cole and
the University grand-stand. Most of
these are we'll under way, and it is
said that Freeman collected all the
money he could on the contracts be-
fore leaving. He owes some OF the
men as much as $3.50, and from that
down to SIS. Freeman told the men
he was only going &c Fairmont and
would be back, but a member of his
family gave the, men the hint this
morning that he was gone for good.
The men who are thus short on
wages did not go to work this morn
ing until they consulted the Valley
Wood Working company.
