John Hollywood, 6enteeI in Appear
ance. Taken Into Custody for
Failure to Pay Debts Before
He Left Buckhannon---Paid
One Debt and Was
Released.

Officials here were telcphoned to Mon
day morning from Buclhannon to arrest
John Hogwood, a young man, who, it is
claimed, was about to abscond. 1t appears
that he was indebted TO j. F. Latham
without paying the debt, also owing an
other debt, and O warrant was secured
for his arrest. Upon the strength of
the telephone message and the informa-
tion that warrant had been sworn out,
Constable Herbert L Davis, with de-
srription of the fellow, went to the de-
pot and watched for young man with
read hair and wearing light suit and
i Panama hat. The fellow appeared
somcsshat reluctant to get of the train
and delayed doing SO until after all the
Vtker passengers had alighted. Then
he left the train ut the lower end OF
the platform. The constable spied the
Ranasna hat in a moment and he and
Policeman Brooks started after their
man. As soon as the fellow saw the
policeman walking toward him. he jump
ed back up on the car step. As he did
this Davis rushed across ON the oppo-
site side of the train. which was stand
ing ON the side track, ard ran down
along the cars, but he faded to get sight
of the fellow and he climbed up on the
steps of car and rushed through and
agnin failed to find him. In the mean
time Hollywood had jumped from the car
and was trying to conceal himself be-
hind some cars ON the side track, lead
ing to the wholesale houses. The officer
finally located him and placed him I'M
der arrest. He appeared to know that
he was wanted by the officers and re-
quested that there he no scene created.
Latham had telephoned to Mark Koble-
gard to get the amount he owed him
and Mark and the constable took him
to the wholesale house, where he paid
the amount Of the debt, Ss.l5. He was
then released. There seems to have been
misunderstanding in this respect, as
ne is wanted m Buckhannon on war
rant sworn ont by another party. The
officer did not know this until the fell
low had proceeded on the way toward
Fairmont. Steps were taken Immediate
ly to apprehgnd him upon his arrival
in that city.
The young man was sporty looking
young fellow and seemed to have plenty
of money. He made no explanation of
his actions and paid Latham's debt and
the costs OF collecting it without muir
muir, seeming perfectly willing 10 do
what the officer directed him to do.

SUNDAY EXCURSION popULAR.

The Sunday excursion to Parkersburg
yesterday was quite well patronized.

between Grafton and Parkersburg spent
the day in the latter city. Quite num-

poll tax. Under either the appointive
or the elective system in choosing
supervisors, mistakes will be made,
with this difference in the latter event,
the people have themselves to blame
for any blunders they may have made
in that behalf, and are more disposed
to grin and bear, than when appoint
ments are thrust upon them. "Un-
easy rests the head that wears a

The remaining sections 13 to 10, in.
elusive. relate to the duties of Com
missioners and Supervisors with re-
gard to the repairing and construc-
ton OF roads and bridges, the letting
of contracts, etc.
Section IA provides. that the County
Surveyor and Supervisors shall meet
with the Commissioners at the April
session of the board to outline work
necessary to be done. 1t might be we'll
for our country cousins to procure
copies OF the road laws from either the
State or County Auditor, acquafnt

as possible, prepare themselves for the
change, thus avoiding much friction
and annoyance. If the Commission
ers are wise they will aid in that par
ticular and save themselves much
worry and too frequent explanations.

Naming q Yacht.

The naming Of book is no holiday
task, and authors particularly proud
of title are tolerably sure to discover
that it has been already used. But
the naming OF a yacht is almost q
greater perplexity. Plagiarism may
in this case result in practical coniu.
sion carrying the most awkward con.
sequences, and not all titles to which,
in search of variety, recourse has al.
roady been had, are satisfactory..from
all points of view. Not long ago, for
instance. very grave British Cabinet
Minister, perhaps wishing for once to
be sprightly, called his yacht Flirt.
He had not consulted his family, who
were, however, quite sure, he thought,
to delight in his outburst of gayety.
However. his daughters naturally re-
marked how very disagreeable it would
be to 60 ashore with that label around
their hats.

How to Remove Stones From Land.

Large rocks should be heated by
burning quantity of brush on each
one, and then with q good heavy
sledge and steel wedges most of them
can be split into fragments that can
be hauled off upon the drag. Medium
sized rocks may be drawn out by dig
ging round them, fastening log chain
upon the lower side and attaching the
team. Let the horses start slowly,
and with little effort the stone may
be pulled out at the second or third
pull. A good way to get rid of stones
is to bury them, but bury them deep
not less than three feet from the
surface-as they will be certain to
work up to the top in q few years,
when the work has to be done over
again at considerable cost.

Rolling Pavement.

Some ingenious idiot, we are told,
has invented for exhibition at the St..
Louis exposition, rolling pavement.
l hope they will not become popular /;
for if we have rolling pavements and
rolling pedestrians, q street would
have no steadiness at all. l stand by
the permanent way, and object to have
the sidewalks careering about in their
own way. Why. it would only take a
little time, if this mad scheme were
inaugurated and sanctioned, to pro-
vide US with rolling houses. rolling
Offices, rolling ships, asylums, ceme-
teries; and the charm OF steadfast-
ness would be gone. l admire rolling
rivers and rolling seas; but I believe
in what the schoolboy called terra

STATE NEWS.

Miss Mamie A. Fisher, of Tacoma,
a school teacher, made a successful
ascent of Mt. Rainier last week. Now
she should teach the pupils there is
such mountain.
The volcanic fires of Mount St.
Helens, in Southwestern Washington,
are not yet totally extinct, according
to the story of Frank Swaisgood, who
is holding down a timber claim on the
base of the mountain.
The Wrought Iron Range Company,
a st. Louis firm, which sells ranges in
the country districts by means OF
agents, who carry samples on wagons,
has secured an injunction against
Lewis county to prevent the Treasurer
from collecting $SS taxes which the
Assessor levied on a shipment of sixty
ranges that has been received at Che
halls. The court has set Sept. Sd as
the time for hearing the case and de-
Gliding whether or not the company
must pay.
Fish pirates have inaugurated reign
of terror on the lower Sound waters.
Their boldness is unprecedented. Re-
peatedly when bribery failed they
have held up keepers of fish-traps at
the point of the gun and rified the
nets of their entire contents. AS high
as 81 900 to $4,000 worth of fish has
been taken at single haul. ct the
request of the receiver for the Packing
& Navigation Co., Judge Hanford, of
the Federal Court, has requested that
sufficient deputy marshals be sent to
the lower Sound to protect the fisher
les. 1t is estimated that between $50
and 200 fish pirates are operating
there.
Refusing to stop fighting when or
dered to desist, Ed. Bloom, a convict
at the Walla Walla Penitentiary was
shot Friday afternoon by Guard Jas.
Doyle. The shooting occurred in the
jute mill in tine presence of hundred
convicts and was the result of fierce
fist.fght in which Bloom was engaged
with another convict named Stetson.
Bloom paid no attention to three or
ders to stop fighting, when the guard
raised his rife and fired. The sho.
struck the seat of his pants, taking
out the cloth and some flesh. Bloom
grabbed himself with both hands and
hoped about the mill yelling at
the top of his voice. Amused by the
antics of the convict, his companions
set up roar of laughter. Bloom was
taken to the hospital, where his
wound was found to be slight. The
bullet just nipped the flesh sufficient
to make it burn like hot iron. For
several weeks the convicts in the
Jute.mill have been under the impres.
sion that the guards rifles were load
ed with blanks and several fights
have resulted. Warden Dryden gave
orders that it must stop and for the
guards to enforce orders, if necessary,
by shot. Bloom found out his mis-
take when the bullet ripped through
bis pants, dangerously close to vital
sDot.

THE promotion of Brigadier General
Leonard Wood to be major general
in the army has caused considerable
criticism both in the army and out of
it. When the Spanish war broke out
General Wood was a captain in the
medical department of the army, but
was q friend of President Mckinley
and also OF President Roosevelt. He
was made . Brigadier General of
volunteers and later Military Governor
of Cuba. He did good work in Cuba,
but there are many who challenge the
belief that he is entitled to be ad-
vanccd so rapidly over the heads of
other veteran and brilliant officers,
some of whom are known to possess
the highest ability. There will be
trouble in the Senate when confirma-
tlon OF the appointment is asked.

THE STORY OF A REVENGE.
By Lue Vernon.

Murdered, in the first flush of an
innocent and unfettered youth Muir
dered and forgotten by a relentless
and insensate foe! 1t was the clear
cool of early evening. The shadows
that curtained in the long, hot day
were falling, fold on fold. The blister.
ing sun had burned itself to ashes,
and the complainings of exasperated
humanity were hushed for a space.
Within the room was suffocatingly
warm, as if the heat of the day had
there left their very dregs. The
stuffed furniture was hot to the touch,
the carpet burning to the tread.
There on the floor lay the victim of
mans cruelty, unavenged. But there
were those who saw the deed, for MUIR
der cries with thousand tongues !;
and though it was little wound that
let out the busy life, it clamored for
revenge as loudly as all Caesars cruel
gashes. Then those who saw the
tragedy ran and told; and others came
and gazed on the silent witness and on
the heartless murderer, sleeping heav.
lily beside his victim. Was the man
without heart? Was he overpowered
by some drug? He reposed at full
length in a wicker chair, his coat was
off-perhaps torn off in the desperate
encounter with his prey. A banker
chief was thrown over his face. He
breathed stentorously. His arms hung
down. 1t might be that he, too, was
bound to that unknown land whittier
the other had departed so suddenly.
In pity they approached him. Even a
murderer must not die uncared for.
They hovered over him a moment, but
the sound of their consultation seemed
to disturb him, for he stirred and ut
tered an imprecation. That was
enough. The callous brute dozed be.
side his victim, and knew no remorse.
With cries of rage they sprang upon
him; from all sides they flew at him.
Like a cyclone, like sand storm
they spared him not. With a shrek
of mingled fear and rage, he sprang to
his feet, and struck wildly to left and
right. 1t was in vain, and glad to
make his escape at at any price, the
villain flung open the door, and sank
exhaused on the porch in the COO
evening air. 1t was the old, old feud
Of the bald man and the fly.

1t would be an advantage to step
aboard a rolling pavement and be
rolled up hill, but then you couldn't
stop every three or four yards to ex-
anime store-windows and that would
be a drawback-especially to ladies
And then the hygienic exercise of
walking would 60 out OF fashion
which would be very serious matter,
for you remember what the poet said
OF the whale:
"The four-footed beast, which we now
call whale,
Held up its hind legs till they grew
to tail
Which it uses for thrasing the sea like
flail.'
That's what it would come to, and
with an eventuality so dreary and dis.
astrous, no wise man will favor more
rolling arrangements than are abso.

which sometimes does not agree with
its nominative.
