FOUND BY A DREAM.
Deserving Husband Found by
A Wrongei Wife
She Dreamed He Was In Certain
Pennsylvania Town and Thfther
She Went Next Day and Found Him
She now Believes In Dreams.

Ii the story OF woman claiming
10 be Mrs. Bluegrass, wife of trav-
eiing man, rs true, then truth is in
deed stranger than fiction. Mrs.
Bluegrass lives at Harrisburg. Pa !,
where she has very comfortable
home During the fall her husband
who had been away from home for
some time, sent small weekly remit
tances, which kept them In touch.
About -four weeks before Christmas
the remlttances ceased, and she
heard nothing from him until she
received letter from a friend say
ing that her husband and a woman
were at hotel at Princess Ann,
Md.
Being convinced that her husband
needed looking after and being with
out funds, she appealed to some of
her relatives for money; but as she
had married much against the wish
es of her family. assistance was re
fused. Then she fell back on her
own resources. She pawned her
watch and jewelry, closed the house,
and with the money raised she went
to Hagerstown, Md, where she met
her informant. She then telegraph
ed to Princess Ann, and thus learn
ed her husband had gone to Cum
berland. Md. Mrs. Bluegrass to.
lowed her gay husband to that place
when she found that the party had
gone to Berlin, Pa. She went to
that place and learned that he had
gone ON to Winber. At the latter
plsce she was again informed that
she was too late. Weary and dis
heartened and her morey almost
gone, she determined to abandon the
chase and With heavy heart retir-
ed for the night at Berlin.
During the night she dreamed
that her husband was at Boswell,
Pa. In the morning she ked the
landlord whether there was such a
place. He told her that there was a
village of that name eight miles dis
tant. This encouraged her in the
belief that her dream was true, as
she had never heard of Boswell un-
til she dreamed about it. She then
secured team and sas driven to
the latter place.
Alightlng from the buggy she
went into the village inn and about
the first persons she saw we're the
objects of her search. The latter
were very much surprised, when SHE
put in her appearance.
10 make long story short, Mrs
Bluegrass says her recreant husband
was glad to sign such papers as had
been prepared by her attorney be.
ffore she left home transferring to
her the home property. She also
says she made her husband turr
over the team with which he travel
ed from place to place. She tucked
about her the robes, took the rib
boss and babe the pair goodby
when she and the driver who had
taken her from Berlin returned I,
the latter place. The next morning
she started for home.

WHY RATES ARE HIGH.
Railroads Send Answers to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has received the answers of the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Michigan Cen
trail and the Norfolk & Western rail-
roads to the inquiries instituted some
time ago by that body as to the reason
for and the propIiety of the recent adj
vance 10 freight rates ON varions COM
modities between New York and Chi
cago and other points. All OF the
roads from which answers have been
received. including the New York Cen
trail & Hudson River and the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, say that
tue advances are due to the increased
cost Of material, to large expenditures
for improvements aud equipment, and
to the recent general increase of wag-
es OF all classes Of employees. But
besides these general statements, the
answers filed today give more detailed
explanations for some Of the roads
which are of general interest.
The answer of the Baltimore s.
Ohio SAYS that the advance in cost of
material ranges from an increase Of SO
per cent. for cotton waste to 164 per
cent. for linseed oil, and that coal,
which cost SO cents a ton in 1900,
has advanced to 81. The recent i'm
provements to the roadway, ETC., ag-
gregating $40, 3l4, ATS, of which ST.
l4S, 329 was paid from the earning of
the road aud $l3, 166, PAS was charged
to capital account. More improve
ments now under way will cost $l4,-
$50, 1876 and the chief engineer of the
road has rec lmmended the further ex-
penditure of $25, 302 066. Besides these
there has been additions to equipment
in the last three years which cost SI9,-
955, 083 and further purchases will net
the expenditure of ll,7S6. 243 aldi-
tional.
The Michigan Central calls atten-
tion to the annual increase OF $780,
900 in taxes which it is required to
pay, to the fact hat it needs 10, 900
box cars and 100 engines, and that it
has allowed rebates to shippers lower
than the published rates, which ag-
gregated $5S6,000 during the past
year.
The answer of the Norfolk & West
ern says that the shippers affected by
the increase of freight rates on its
line have made no objection and they
realize that the advances were not
made for the purpose of paying in
creased dividends, but TO make extern
.ive Improvements and extensions of
roads to enable il to handle its large
ly increased business. The Norfolk
& Western also calls attention to the
fact that the prices OF materials have
greatly increased, saying that since
1899 the cost Of coal has advanced SO
per cent, gasoline 100 per cent, nails
ll6 per cent, coke 300 per cent,
freight axels 10 per cent, and other
materials in proportion. All the roads
assert that the advances in freight
are reasonable and proper that they
should be upheld by the commission.

"You see we have q surplus of a

of the six hundred thousand referred

further work on the capital annex,

Legislature Alse Disposed to Make
Liberal Appropriations Great Con-
trast With Feeling at Charleston
Two Years Ago-Big Lobby at Capt.
tai.
Mr.. VIM. z. Glasscock returned
this morning from visit at Char les
ton.
Though very busy while there, on
important business for his party, he
had the opportunity of meeting Gov
ernor White, and few mem oers of
the legislature.
Mr., Glasscock is glad to fiud a
wonderful revolution at Charleston,
among the members Of the legisla-
ture in the feeling toward the State
University, and in the expressions
ia regard to that institution aud its
president.
All references TO it now are favor
able, and every one seems anxioss to
help it along by substantial aid.
Mr.. Glasscock expects the most
liberal appropriations for the Uni
versity that il has ever received.
Governor White is in hearty sympa-
| thy with the Institution and will CO
operate 10 secure for it all the finan
cial aid and influence that can be
given. Mr.. Glasscock had talk
with Governor White yesterday
morning just before leaving for
home, and found him to be intensely
interested in extending the influence
of the State University along with
all the educational inter ests oil the
state. Hon. Ira f. Robinson is
chairman of the senate financial
committee, and Judge Reynolds OF
the house financial committee. Both
these gentleman are expected TO
look with favor upon liberal appro-
priations for the states chief instl-
tuition.
The sentiment toward the Uni
vorsity is in great contrast to that
expressed two years ago, when many
influential members Of the legisla
ture were declaring in forcible Ian
guage that they would not vote for
a single dollar of appropriation for
the University. Feeling against its
management at that time was terri
bly, bitter,
The lobby at the capital at this
season is regarded as the largest
and most powerful that has ever be
sieged the legislature of West Vir
ginia That to defeat the PIC posi-
tion to collect license tax from cor
porations dealing IN the states re-
sources is expected to be the most
active.
The personnel of most of the com
mittces had not yet been announced
when the house and senate ADJOURN
Friday.
II lille many persons do not agree
to some OF the recommendation in
Governor Whites Message. Mr..
Glasscock finds the consensus of OPP
inion at the legislature to be that it
is au unusually strong state paper.
And it is believed that the Governor
will be able to secure much of the
legislation recommended in his mes
sage.
His proposition to abolish many of
the normal schools aud the two Uni
versity preparatory schools is 10 line
with his plan for the uniflcation and
graduation of the school system of the
whole state.
Mr.. Glasscock got home pretty well
tired out. The engine on his train
from Parkersburg broke down last
night, and delayed the passengers four
hours in getting to Clarksburg.

most interesting case that has been
tried here for wears is now on. About
year ago Prosecuting Attorney
Bailey was in his office in the co.. rt
House engaged in legal matters with
Mrs. Samuel Martin. Mr.. Martin
walked in and demanded to know
why his wife was there. Martin and

the command, Martin grabbed the
gun in Bailey's hand A tussle en-
sued for it's possession, during which
the gun was discharged, taking effect
in Bailey's left arm, making a pain
full wound. Martin was indicted
and has always been ready for trial

NOTES FROM CHARLESTON.
News and Gossips From The
State Capital.
About People Who are Well known
John Wright Failed to Land His
Job And Will Return

Now that the House and senate are
organized and practically ready for
business, both will get down to real
work this week. In fact there is much
of this evidenced this morning.
A large number OF the delegates who
live In nearby vlcinities went home
just after adjournment on Friday and
some did not get back until early this
morning, while others left just after
the noon meal on Sunday.
The lobbyists, however, didn't take
any chances, and the rotundas OF the
leading hotels were filed with them
all day yesterday.
Fairmont and Marion county did
did not fare bad In the distribution of
the plums here on Friday, and one
can hardly dart into any place In
Charleston, not even the dark alleys,
unless he runs against some one with
Fairmont written on his identity
card.
EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
j. B. Knots, Koen, J. o. Huey
and Fred Bartlett made up Manning
tons crowd who came down for the
opening. Some of them are still here
while others left yesterday for home.
From Morgantown are President d.
b. Purinton, James H. Stewart and
Prof. B. III. Hite, of the University,
and in their presence is an air of
much work and hustle. In nutshell
DIR. Purinton is here to make a big
fight to have the law providing for
the abolition of the Preparatory De-
partment at Morgantown next year
revoked.
The scholarly gentleman has made
a careful study Of the situation and
he finds, so he says, that to abolish
the preparatory department just now
would leave the education searching
youth of the State without means
of preparing himself for the Universi-
ty courses.
This looks little raw on the school
at Keyser, the one at Montgomery
and the academic departments of the
Normal schools but DR.. Purinton ex-
plains this. He says that recently
the requirements for entrance to the
University have been multiplied and
that none of the preparing schools
outside that one in M ,rgantown are
in position to do the required work
1t is understood that sometime
this week a bin will be introduced in
the House and possibly by Judge Rey-
nolds, of Keyser, providing for the
repeating of the law ablishing the de-
partment at Morgantown.
1t does look like the flush of some
of the Normal schools of the State is
TO be soon. While no one will enter
into any lengthy discussion of the
situation, those interested in the
State schools seem to take it for
granted that there is no use in main
tanning so many establishments. The
West Liberty Normal, the ones al
Shepherdstown and Concord are to
come under the ak, so it is said
Fairmont and Huntington, on the
contrary, will be well backed and
brought up to date as far as possible.

The virtuous indignatioh that
was expressed oyer the assertion
that some OF the Dingley rates were
made for trading purposes With 9th
er countries was not impressive at
the frst outburst, and now that the
truth Of the assertion has been con.
hrmed by Senator Dolliver the pre-
tense Of Indignation is seen to be
worse than Iudicrous. There was
never, as he declares, any reason for
a show of indignation. One may
dissent from the Dingley tariff pol
icy as a whole, but there is certain
ly nothing immoral in fixing rates as
a basis for favorable reciprocity
deals. 1t is merely following the
custom of European nations of es-
tablishing tariffs to be altered by
commercial treaties, and the only
important question which it raises
ia the principal one whether the
means is well adapted to the end.
What has concerned Senator AL
rich anu his associates has not been
the memory and reputation of Mr..
Dingley, but the possible modifica-
tions in their tariff rates. They
have no nse for reciprocity except
as campaign nostrum, and it is
certainly incumbent upon the Re
publican party either to. abandon
reciprocity or to make good its prom
Uses.
Speaking for large element with
in the party Mr.. Dollive. said: II
for one have made up my mind that
he time has come when somebody
whose CONVICTIONS do not lie along
the paths of silence and quiet and
ease in our political success should
rise here to say that the whole fu-
ture OF the protective system In the
United States depends upon the wis
dom with which the Congress of the
United States fulfills the aspirations
that may be found in the last public
utterances of William Mckinley
Undoubtedly the incorporating
protectlonists do not know it, but
they are putting in the best work that
is being done today for the election
of Democratic President and Con-
gress and general overhauling of
the tariff which would be little
short OF disaster to the bushes Of
the country.-Chicago Record Her.

EXCITING CHASE.
Chief Of Police Price Arrests Lawrence

Chief of Police Price had an ex.
citing chase after colored man,
Lawrence Henderson at one o'clock
today. He chased him up town and
finally as the negro was sprinting up

The negro then lodged into the no
tel cellar, and was captured. He
was taken to Justice She emaker's
Office and steel knuckles were found

cealed weapons.
The shooting occurred while din

Perhaps the County court of Ma
rion are not accustomed TO the
charges, and the labor and expert
knowledge involved in making ar
accurate chemical analysis. The
cost of the analysis of the embalm
ing fluid, for which 5000 is charged
here would probably have been $500
if it had been sent to New York
