OF JESSE JAMES FAME
"James Morgan" May Be Notorious
Frank Howard.

A man is lying at the Arnold hotel
very near deaths door and it is pos
sibIe that he is the noted Frank How
ard of Jesse James fame, a member
of the notorious gang of outlaws.
The man is about ffty-five years of
age. He has one leg amputated and
has been going about the city beg
ging funds on account of his crippled
condition. He registered at the Ho-
tel Arnold as James Morgan and has
been in the city a number of days
working among the people. Monday
night he was seized with fit of hem
orrhage of the stomach and bled ter
ribly for number Of hours. 1t was
estimated by physicians that the man
lost seven quarts of blood. DR.. Win
die was called and did what he could
to relieve the fellow but today death
seems. near and it is not thought that
he can survive. A saline solution
was injected to stimulate the heart
action and this helped the sufferer.
Hemorrhages have now ceased ana
the man is better. He was told that
he was near death. He had asked to
be told if he could not live, and when
informed that he might die and asked
to tell his name he stated that his
name was Frank Howard and to send
word to James Morgan, called "Scot-
tie," at Kansas City; also Chas. Lutz,
a saloon n-keeper at the same place.
He had told several stories about
himself in connection with his miss
ing limb. When he was in a semi
conscious state he said: ''My, my;
how / did bleed. lost more blood
than when my leg was shot off," He
4 is very weak now but unless there
are more hemorrhages he will proba,
bly, recover.
The fellow had quite little money
about him and has been paying his
bills promptly up to the present time

The growth of the population OF
Germany in 1902 was the greatest
ever known, amounting to 902,312, or
1851 per 1000, compared with 1903
in 1901 and 14.63, the average for the
last ten years. The number OF
births during the decade increased
only slightly, remaining just above
100000 yearly. The gain therefore
is due exclusively to the diminish
ed death rate, which was 20.56 in
1902, compared with 22.68 for the pre-
vious decade. ..-

John Eckroats hogs may prosper and
multiply and never be affiicted with
the cholera. Mr.. Eckroat has made
it a rule to deposit $1.oO in the bank
for the hospital from the proceeds of
each load of hogs sold. This is a
commendable spirit and suggests to
other farmers a good way of helping
along a worthy cause.

JEANETTE SHUTS DOWN.
Peint Marion Glass Factory Cannot
Run at Wages Demanded-Men Re-
fnse to Work.

tHct W UUEks
PolNT MARION Nov. 20. = The
Jeanette glass factory is not in
operation now, owing to difference
existing between the managers of
the factory and the skilled workmen
as to wages. The managers posted
notices of reduction of Is per cent
on wages. The rules of L. A. 800
do not GLOW the men to work for
less than the scale of wages and the
managers claim this is SO high and
the price of glass so low as to wipe
out not only all profit but will max e
a very heavy loss to the owners.
This plant is cooperative limited
partnership; the stock is made up
of 500 shares of the par value of$l00
each. $50 of these shares are owned
by the workmen themselves, 80
shares by the gatherers, $50 shares
by the blowers; 80 by the fiatteners
and 60 by the cutters, and the re-
manning ITO shares is nearly all
owned by the workmen as outside
stock. 1t is a very unfortunte con-
dition for our town as well as the
men and the owners and we trust
the matter will be settled in a man
ner satisfactory.to all concerned.
The Jeanette Glass Co. here
struck a good gas well an the Frank
enberry land near their other well in
Dunkard township, Greene county,
Their first well produced more gas
than they needed to operate their
entire factory and this new well is as
good as the first one.

Referring to the settlement Of TIL,

out of the Shepherdstown scandal

"The suits we're all to have beer
called in the circuit court now il

PENDANTS went prepared to defend
themselves. They had all the evi

were all withdrawn. First the plain
tiffs wanted to compromise them, but
the defendants declined to do that
Then Dr. and Mrs. Reynolds with
drew them.
DR.. and Mrs. Reynolds went even
farther than that. They made q
written apology to Professor Good
win and had it made a matter OF
court record.
This is complete vindication OF
Prot. Goodwin, and, of course, graft
flying to his friends, as well as the
state school authorities, who endors-
ed all he did in the matter.
The ending of these suits in this
way is an abandonment of the de-
tense of Miss Wingate, and is an
admission on the pau of her side in
the controversy that Prof. Goodwin's
course was right and that he acted
only as the facts justified"

clared she would tell her father.

A NEEDED CHRISTIAN WORK

Conducting II.

In a recent issue of the Christian
Herald there was an article referring
to the work Of the Rev. Ray M. Bus
Ter Missionary of the American
Sunday School Union in West VIZ
ginia. The work of this society,
which was established in 1874, IS Of
the utmost Importance, ana spoula
interest all who are interested IN the
evapeelization of the state, and
every good citizen swell, Tor moral
illi.eracy and free INSTITUTIONS can
not exist together. r..
This work stands primarily loi
the moral and religious training o.
the children, through the agency oi
the Sunday school, and by this
method reaching the needy and dis
titute places with the gospel. II
is purely interdenominational; union
schools are organized where there IS
division of sentiment, and demon
national schools where there is
union of sentiment. 1t claims to dc
the work the denominations are moi
deing and in many instances cannot
do.
Many wealthy and influential peo-
ple of all the leading denominations
are interested IN the Society, and
contribute literally to it's support
Mr.. Busters entire salary is paid by
benevolent lady in New York city
who is greatly interested in the
moral welfare of the children Of
West Virginia. These contributors
soon learn that no other missionary
money brings such immediate and
large returns, and they are always
satisfied with their Investment.
West Virginia our own Mountain
State-with it's rapidly increasing
population is a needy mission field
Many new mining towns and lumber
camps, as well as many old commu
mites back in the mountains, are
entirely without religious privileges
of any kind 1t is estimated thai
10000 children in the state re
ceive no religious instruction, anc
that more than twice as many adults
are not touched by the Influence o
the church.

land Nd, is the only missionary
now doing this INSTRUMENTATION
work in West Virginia. His mott'
is, Sunday school in every com
munity, Bible in every home Ii
the past year and half he has or
ganized 80 schools, and distributed
nearly 500 Bibles and Testaments
One of these schools has grown int
a promising church. More worker
of this kind are greatly needed.
