been caused hers by the announcement
that the minister of marine proposes,
during the coming session of the cortes,
to ask that body to sanction the extern

improvement of the arsenals and dock
yards at Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartsgena,
thereby increasing the annual expendi-

adopted, Spain will have within ten
years dozen battleships and a dozen

PRESIDE is 4 DISGRACE.
President Win Urge Secretary Root to
Renovate II at Once.


San Francisco, May lS.-The Bulle-
tin says:
= President Roosevelt has reached
the conclusion that the quarters and
'arracks at the Presidio are disgraceful,
considering the size and Importance of
the reservation. He is, therefore, go-
ing to make it his immediate business
to write to Secretary Root, and ask
that large sum of money lie diverted
Immediately to the renovation of the
Presidio. Whether there is enough
money already appropriated to be of
much use in building this immense
post, with it's garrisons of two regi
ments of infantry, enough artillery to
form moro than q regiment, and a
squadron of cavalry, or whether it will
be necessary to wait for the reassem-
bling Of congress to get the sum Of
money, amounting to $1,000, 900 or
more, which would be required for an
entire remodeling, is question, but il
is certain that the president is sufi.
ciently interested to take active steps
at once to make the Presidio the kind
of place it should be.

Cannot Bring Rriher Home.

Washington, May 10. The state
department has informed Governor
Dockery, of Missouri, that it cannot
grant his request to secure the extra
dition OF Ellis Wainwright, million
aire brewer of st. Louis, who is
wanted in connection with the muni-
cipal bribery charges, and who is sup
posed to have fled to France. The OBJ
stacle lies in the fact that the French
extradition treaty does not enumerate
bribery as an extraditable offense.

CHAPTER II.


In a very elegant drawing room, with
French windows to the ground, leading
on to a velvet sward gemmed with Aow-
ers. sat Mrs. Champion and her daughter.
The mother was employed on an elabor-
ate piece Of woodwork, while Miss Cham
pion half reclined upon her silken couch,
reading. She looked up from it to answer
her mothers interrogatory.
do you think Mr.. Hastings win be
here this afternoon, FloraY"
Il cannot tell, mamma; Reginald has
gone over TO the Court to lunch, and look
at some new horses. and he said he
should probably bring Mr.. Hastings back
to dinner"
'He is very handsome" remarked Mrs,
Champion. 'IndIsputably the best match
In the county"
Except Evelyn Vane," remarked
Flora.
Evelyn vaneze echoed her mother
Evelyn Vane has nothing until his faith
err dies; and even when he becomes Lord
Lancing, hs income will not be much
more than half that Of Mr.. Hastings"
"But there Is the title" said Miss
Champion; Lord Lancing cannot last
much longer. and would rather have q
title, even IL were obliged to sacrifice
half the income"
Which was not true. for Flora Cham
pion was rather in love with Enrol Hast
ings, and utterly indifferent to the Hon
orable Evelyn Vane. She and her mother
were much attached to each other-ai
least as much as was possible for two
such selfish and Indifferent natures to be
and they were wont to indulge in mu-
tual condolences. At this moment Regi.
maid Champion. the only son and brother,
entered the room.
"Have you Just returned from the
Courtl" inquired his mother.
"Yes; Hastings left me at the door NOT
Eve minutes ago"
~ thought he was going to dine here. >

changed his mind, for when he arrived
here, and l pressed him to cont In, he
declared he had a previous engagement

"Indeedr said Flora, disdainfully, "ant

trationr'
at is nothing that win please you, Flo

"Don't be provoking, Reginald!' utter
ed his mother, sharply; "tell US at once

The supreme court of our State
has rendered the following opinion
In suit involving the question OF
double leasing land for oil and gas
purpose. The case Is the
Eclipse Oil Company VS.. Henry
Garner ct al, from Wetzel county;
opinion by Dent; In which the de-
cree of the Circuit Court Is affirm
ed. This case deals with adverse
oil leases and involving valuable oil
property In Wetzel county. The
Eclipse OIL Company leased prop
erty from Henry Garner and after
wards Garner leased the same lands
to the South Penn OIL Company,
the latter developing the territory
and paying Garner his ROYALTIES.
The Eclipse company sued Garner
and South Penn Oh Co. and the
Eureka Pipe Line company, asking
for an accounting of all the oil that
had been taken from the land,
claiming 1t had a valid lease there
on. The circuit court dismissed Its
bill, from which the appeal was
had. This suit Is the sequel to the
chancery cause of the Eclipse OIL

DOUBLE LEASING FOR OIL

company VS.. the South Penn Oh
company ct al. decided In 47th w.
Va, page 81, in which the leases of
the Eclipse company were held
void. The EHpse company claims
that after Garner had leased to the
South Penn Oh company 1t paid to
Garner s. $50 for rentals under It's
leases, aud that Garner accepted the
same as full pay for two years,
the last expiring November 10,
1899. The only question be-
fore this court was what rights
the Eclipse company acquired by
payment of the rentals before met
toned, after Its lease had been
avoided, and as to this Judge Dent
holds. A lessor executes at different
times two sets of oil leases to two
different lessees, rese1ving the
usual royalty, and after the first
leases have been avoided by the ex
ecution of the second, the first lessee
pays two years rental money to
the lessor with full knowledge of
the execution Of the second lease,
such payment does not entitle such
lessee to claim the reserved royalty
or any part thereof, either In law cr
equity.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Cough Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second time) 1
actually cured myself with one bot
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This Is the honest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself
to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the cough
Ing spell would come on at night l
would take a dose and /: seemed
that In the briefest interval the
cough would pass eff and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as mot
agreeable surprise Is putting 1t very
mildly. I had no idea that 1t would
or could knock out the grip, SIM
ply because I had never tried 1t for
such purpose, but 1t did. and 1t
seemed with the second attack OF
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of less duration, but
tile pains wer= far less severe. and
I had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by c. W. Grier.

A Queer Police Force.

The policemen in Haiti are paid by
results. They get capitaton fees for
all the arrests they make. AS they
come from the worst class Of the popu-
lation and are under no discipline, it
follows that man is very liable to be
arrested in Haiti unless he is willing
to pay the policeman more than the
capitation fee. AS this fee is only Is
cents, the price Of freedom is not pro
hibitive. 49,.
If a man objects to paying the fee
and says he would rather go before the
Judge the policeman soon convinces
him of the unpleasantness of arrest
with thick club.
