LECTURE and RECEPTION.
Captain HObsOn Delight ed Audience
Pleasant Event at Arm0ry.


Captain Richmond p. Hobson
lectured to a rarely appreciative au-
dience at Commencement Hall Sat
urday evening. He talked for two
hours, and his audience was with
him every minute. His theme was
the United States as as an altruistic
nation, the nation that stood for
ipdustrialism as against militarism.
The Monroe Doctrine, the cardinal
principle of American foreign policy
was a first class proposition. We
have fourth class navy to uphold it.
He drew striking contrasts between
American and European foreign
policy. The whole trend of his al
dress was the urgent need of IA great
navy. He spoke for two hours.
After the lecture a reception and
dance was rendered the distinguish
ed visitors at the Armory, Among
those present were Major Harry A.
Greene, Mrs. Greene, Miss Barloor.
Capt. Hobson, Major and Mrs. VIM
ID. Beach, Miss Young, and Mr. b.
Y. Read.
There were twelve dances. The
Opera House orchestra played ex.
cellent music. Ices were served
throughout the evening.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.
He Swiped a Horse IN Marion
County Saturday Night.

Caught Here ON Sunday Night-FelloB
Refuses to DiyuIge his name-He il
in bad Condition Details of the
Pursuit and Capture of the Thief.
A supposed horse thief, whose name
is unknown, was arrested by Police
men Fleming and Garrison in the road
just below the Pump Station Sunday
evening, and is now lodged in jail
here. He is charged with stealing a
horse from Abraham Page at Forks
burg, near Winfield in Marion county,
Saturday night.
The unknown man under arrest
acts very strangely, and appears to be
i'll. He did not speak word last
evening, from the time the police ar
rested bin till late at night, when eff
forts to induce him to talk were aban-
doned
The horse was evidently taken from
Mr.. Pages stable about midnight,
Saturday. 1t was put in the stable
about IL o'clock by Mr.. Pages son,
who had been using it during The day.
The hay he gave the animal had hard
ly been touched.
The young man discovered that the
animal was missing early next morn
ing, and started in pursuit Of the
thief, tracking it by the impressions
Of new shoes with which it had just
been shod.
1t was soon found that the thief
had come toward Morgantown with
his stolen property. He was traced to
White Day Creek, where he had stolen
saddle and bride from the stable OF
DIR. Travis four miles above Smith
town. Young Mr.. Page, and neigh
Dor continued the pursuit, finally
tracking the horse to the stable of d.
French Watson on the Evansville
road short distance from the Pump
Station. Here they found both the
horse and his rider. The latter had
put the horse in the stable, and erept
into the haymow.
When discovered he tried to make
his escape but was chased down to the
railroad and there captured by Mr.
Watson, who is large, strong man.
1t is reported that the unknown man
first drew revolver, then threw it
away, and pulled razor to defend
himself Mr.. Watson caught his arm
and took the razor from him. He
turned it over to Policeman Fleming.
Mr.. Watson telephoned to the Pc
lice here, and then started TO town
with his capture He was met at Mr.
Runners place on the road to the
Pump Station by the policemen,
Fleming and Garrison, who put the
fellow under arrest and lodged him in
jail. Mr.. Page brought the horse
along, and it is now in Guy Hayes
stable. He returned to Marion Coun-
ty last night to get warrant for the
thief, and bring some one else back to
identify his animal. The horse is a
fine bay, valued very highly by its
owner.
DR.. M. e. Gardner was summoned
to give medical attention to the pris-
oner, who appeared to be really sick,
though it was thought by the police
that part of his Illness was only feign-
ed. He carried nickel watch with a
chain, apparently brand new A purse
containing 20 cents was in his pocket
But no name, nor scrap of paper could
be found on his clothes. He is fairly
well dressed in black, and wears a
mustache.

GORDON A PIE BITTER.
Swipcd the Pastry and got Punched By
an Argus eyed Guardian of the law
"A Splendid Joke.

J A real good joke has cfept out on
Bryan Gordon, Of Morgantcwn, who
engineered the lot sale at Newburg a
few days ago, and B. & o. engineer
Frank Menifee. OF Newburg, and, al
though it has been rather long in tell
Ing, it is entirely too good to keep says
the Grafton Sentinel,
On the day OF the lot sale Messrs
Gordon and Menifee were passing
through the town Of Newburg along
about the noon hour, when, ia passing
by the window Of a private residence,
they spied BEAUTIFULLY crisp and mel
low pie that had been set q the win
dow sill to cool The temptation was
more than they could withstand, and
after looking about carefully TO see
II they were un0bserved, they swiped
the pie aud little later made was
with it in the good, old fashioned
manner. 1t tasted good, in fact way
as good as their mothers used to make,
and the two young men naturally felt
very much elated over the streak of,
good fortune that had befallen them
But now comes the housekeeper's part
Of the story. Mrs Yarnell had pre-
pared an exceedingly good dinner for
company, "and this dinner was in no
wise considered by a careful house
keeper as being complete without the
pie, and when she discovered it miss
ing she Immediately set about to fud
what had become of it. Getting a
good clue to the marauderS, the lady
sent for police officer, and in about
two shakes Messrs Gordon and Mem
fee found themselves very neatly plac-
ed under arrest for stealing pie,
They wanted TO stipa the officer to
lett hem go, but he wasn't the "tip-
ping" kind, SO the prisoners must per-
force appear before the mayor of the
city, who upon hearing the evidence
in the case, assessted "the usual tine
add COST" making the pie cost, "
Messers. Gordon and Menifee
something like five dollars in
all. The only thing that spoiled this
joke was the fact that the mayor fl
nally RENTED the fine, acknowledging
at the same time that it was the best
joke of the season. He should have
collected the amount aud had pie
social that very evening for the bene
fit of the two young gentlemen who
have such mania for that production
of the pastry cooks art

TWO CENTS
SATURDAYS CELEBRATION
A Success In Spite of Rain Gen.
Young and Ex-Gov. O'Fcrral
Both iil-Program at Cemetery
Speaking at Court House Crowd Be-
haYed well.

In spite OF cloudy skies, ane inter
mittent showers, the celebration OF
Memorial day Saturday was success.
There was big crowd Ia town, and
1t is hard to tell how many would
have been here had the day been
pretty one.
The morning was given up TO the
parade and the exercises at The graves
Of the soldiers. These were very APP
propriate and impressive .'The
Star Spangled Banner was played by
the Glass workers band. After prayer
by the Chaplain and an address by
the Commander OF Hoffman Post,
from the ritual, Hon. b. r. Dovenor
and Hon. Aston g. Dayton were in
troduced. Both OF these gentlemen
made short, but stirring speeches,
paying high tribute to the deeds OF
the dead being honored,. and rejoicing
In the reunion Of the sections.
A salute OF the dead was fired by
Company B, West Virginia University
Corps OF Cadets. Company L was 20
have done this but did not join the
parade.
Flowers we're strewn In profusion
on the graves Of all the soldiers. In
fact there was hardly grave in the
cemetery that was not decked with
flowers by loving hands. The ladies
had charge OF this and carried 1t out
admirably.
After the exercises, the parade re-
formed, and marched up Front street,
east on Wiley to Spruce, south on
Spruce to High, and north on High
past the reviewing stand and was dis
missed, Gen. Young and his staff and
other distinguished visitors reviewed
the parade.
The exercises OF the afternoon were
interfered with on account of the rain
aud the Illness OF some OF the speak
ers. At the last minute, word was
received from Ex.Gov. O'Ferrall that
he was Ill and could not come. This
was source Of deep regret to all.
Gen. Young took part In the parade
and reviewed 1t, but became Ill, and
could not deliver his address.
The afternoon speaking was held
in the Court House by Hon, Jos. More
land. the presiding officer, delivered
cordial address OF welcome, stirring
and patriotic. He was followed by
DR.. Robert Douthat, survivor Of
Pickett S charge, who spoke on behalf
of the confederate veterans. His adj
dress was scholarly and entertaining
in the highest degree.
Capt. Richmond p. Hobson delight
ed all who heard him. His theme
was the civil war, the greatest war
in the history OF nations. He showed
that the percentage of casualties In
the civil war, on both sides, was
greater than in the wars of Hannibal,
wellington, Napoleon, or any OF the
great military leaders OF Europe. Its
battles were more bloody than those
of Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis,
Hastings or Waterloo. The speaker
was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause, and the hearts OF the old
soldiers were stirred by his ringing
words.
In the evening the Major Generals
salute was fred by detachment Of
cadets In the University campus
Concerts were given by the Glasswork-
ers and Cadet bands.
