JESSE JAMES GANG
Had No Terrors for Senator
Hughes-He was There to
Back His Criticism.

Terra Alta Editor Made Fun Of Jesse
James show and the Manager Called
to Settle-Found the Fighting Edi-
tor In-FOrmer Student in New
Role.
Senator A. G. Hughes is remem-
bered here as a prominent student
of the University for several years,
having received both the arts and
law degrees. Those who know him
will be surprised to learn Of him in
the role of fighting editor of Terra
Alta newspaper. The following story
from the Wheeling Telegraph will
be read here with interest:
"Terra Altans were afforded some
diversion on Thanksgiving by one
horse Jesse James travelling troupe
and the independent plucky editor
of the Preston Republican, A G..
Hughes. 1t seems the same play
was given here year ago under the
same management, aud when they
billed here again for Thanksgiving
night the editor touched them up in
his Thursday morning paper in the
following manner;
"The Jesse James gang holds the
boards at the Opera House tonight.
This crowd bears the same ear
marks of the outfit that came here
last year, and after reaching town,
borrowed few old revolvers from
some of the boys, then proceeded TO
do few stunts ON the stage at the
expense of those who cared to blow
some change for which they had no
earthly use"
Some one called the managers at
tention TO the roast and then Jesse,
with his gang, proceeded to do one
of his wild west stunts aid stir up
the little mountain town with ex-
element At the conclusion of their
parade they rode to the publishers
office, and with drawn guns asked
for the editor. Disappointed in not
6uding him at home they rode on to
the next corner and fired their weap-
ons OF warfare into the air.
Later they ran up against the ed
itor, but did not find him the tender
foot they had anticipated. A part
of the troupe, the manager, one other
man and three ladies happened to
stop at the same hotel where the
editor stays The manager was ap-
prised of the EDITORS pretence and
proceeded to do him up. But the
plucky little newspaper man had
evidently been up against such arti,
cles before. He called the manager
bluff, and for the next few minutes
the situation was exceedingly inter
esting. The manager questioned
the editors ability to meet in deadly
conflict his famous band of outlaws
while the editor called the manager
in rather strong terms, anything
else but truthful man. At this
point matters were 9uelled and the
famous Jesse James crowd was
forced to seek shelter for the nigh
at another hotel. They showed to 6
very small house, not quite making
expenses. They left the next morn
ing before breakfast, not drop o
blood having been shed, and thu
editor alive and well.

Fairmont Woman Gets Letter from
Same Old Jehn Who Was Thought 70
BE Dead-Wants to Know abont the
Children-Mrs. James Perplexed.

Chiidren-Mrs. James Perplexed.
The story OF the Fairmont woman
who rushed into the office of Jus
lice of the peace, holding an open
telegram in her hand and joyously
shouting, my husbands dead. II
SO happy, so happy has become
familiar to all who read the papers.
The woman was Mrs. John James,
and according to the story. her
husband had made life miserable for
her. Hence she was glad to be rid
OF him.
The second chapter in this rather
startling serial is told by the Fair
mont Times.as follows:
shattered hopes, blasted dreams
oil peace and future happiness, the
dead alive and more trouble is the
lot of poor Mrs. John James, the
woman who has been making history
for the newspapers of this state for
some time.
Right upon the heels of letter
from Undertaken Lonis stein, of
Cumberland, giving complete de.
scription OF the John James who
Was murdered there some time ago,
a description which fits Mrs. James
husband in every way comes letter
from Altoona, Pa, from the original
John addressed to President Engle,
OF the Humane Society, asking him
what has been done with his children.
The letter is IN the possession oil
The Times, and experts declare that
it was written on the earth and that
there is no birthstone on it, 1t has
all the appearance of worldly
letter and 1t is believed that it was
really written on tn.
When the letter was shown to
Mrs. James she was making prepare
tions to go to Cumberland and give
the John there decent burial. but
since he has gone to Altoona she
will not make the trip but vii. wait
and see how matters turn out.
She looked at the letter long
time and said that it bore no APP
pearance Ct having crossed The River
Styx, but she could trace sort of
Satanic look about the post mark.
Mrs James and the officers who
have been interested in the business
are much puzzled about the affair.
Mrs. James will not believe that her
husband Is not dead, but if he is
how did the letter come to be writ
ten? The officers seem TO think that
the man who was murdered in Cum
berland vas not the right James at
all, but by the description furnished
he must have been an exact of him."

POINT MARION, Pa, Dec. 2--The
Morris Glass Company of this place
contemplates doubling the capacity
Of the bottle factory next spring.
Many changes we're uade in the tank
furnace and other parts OF the plant

enjoyed such prosperous run that IL
is considering plans which will nearly
double the size OF the present plant.
When the company began operations
here few years ago, bathtubs and

we're to be produced, but the attempt
wa. unsatisfactory. The company has

Justice of the present tax system
The man who opposes immediate
