LIEUT.-CoL. Henry w. Sprogle, who
shot himself through the head while
temporarily insane, is the tenth army
officer who has committed suicide in
the Philippines. In nearly every in
stance the suicide was directly due to
temporary insanity, which was gen.
orally the result OF exposure, poor
food and water, and disease, caused by
sleeping on the ground in a tropical
country. The constant heat day and
night has also prov ed very trying on
the nerves, and many officers whose
mind did not give way under the
strain broke down in health and had
to be invalided home.

One OF the remarkable things in the
statistics of foreign trade is the growth
of the smaller powers. The progress
made by Japan was to be expected.
Her trade has increased more than
five-fold in thirty years; but it was so
small at the beginning that the pres
ent total is not formidable. The
Netherlands had very respectable
foreign trade in lS70-far more than
that of Japan now, and has increased
it 345 per cent. in the thirty years
five times as much as the incre ase of
German exports and imports.

THE Chicago Tribune has this to say
OF the attitude of financial promoters
toward restrictive legislation: "Up-
fortunately, the strong man. unless
he has had political experience sci.
dom knows how to yield gracefully to
a will of the majority when he thinks
the majority is not so wise as he lie.
The strong man in the world of
finance or trade has been educated by
his successes to be tenacious of his
opinions, intolerant OF the position,
aud contemptuOus of the views OF
those who have not had his training
and his good fortune. Such a man
believes he knows best. Laws which
run counter to his theories of political
economy or railroad management are
nullified by him whenever he can find
lawyers shrewd enough to do it,"

CHASTITY Fined Made by Freight
Crew Near Highland.

Lawson Anderson, of Highland, just
below Shinnston, was either murdered
or came to his death accidentally Sat
urday night at a late hosr. He and
other miners went to Monongah that
evening and engaged in drinking. All
drank whiskey until they we're very
drunk. Anderson got on the flyer,
which leaves Monongah about 10
o'clock. He was not seen alive after
that. A freight train crew found his
mangled remains next morning on the
railroad track about seventy-five yards
north of the Highland station. A
pool OF blood was discovered fifty yards
north of where the body lay and an
other fifty yards south. There APP
peared to be knifc-infiicted wound
on the body. It wassdirectly through
the jugular vein. 1t Is believed he
was murdered. When he went to
Monongah he had s35 but only IS was
found on his dead body. He was 81
years of age. The body was taken to

TELEPHONE
COMPANY
Decides Not to Build any More In
dlviduaI Lines.
Superintendent Barnes Explain.
Cause Of Increased Prices.


At a meeting of the directors of the
Consolidated Telephone Company held
in Fairmont few days ago it was de-
cided not TO build any more individual
lines. The several business concerns
which have lines, however, will be al
lowed to keep them. Superintendent
Barnes authorizes the statement that
the prices were raised on account OF
the fact that the company was max
ing no money. The prices which pre-
vailed before the raise was inaugural
ed were made eight years ago, when
the system was small and expenses
much lighter than at present. He ex-
planned that the charter would not
permit them TO charge more than e2a
per phone at Grafton and that was the
reason there appeared to be a discrim-
/ nation in that towns favor. Some
very extensive improvements are in
progress and in contemplation.
