holidays for this season, the Feast of
the Tabernacles, began Monday

The seventh day, which is the
"Great Hosanna," is celebrated with
peculiar solemnity, as IL is believed
that on this day God DEGREES the
weather for the future harvest. The
eighth day is the most Joyful Of the
year. 1t is the day of rejoicing in
the law. In the synagogues the en-
tire congregation forms into pro-
cession and with the sacred scrolls
in their hands and amid jubilant
songs goes around the ark seven
times.

The West Virginia Bar and the
Parkersburg State Journal both
think that an analysis of the food
stuffs being sold in the state should
be made by the University or the
Experiment Station. While pure
food law was defeated in the legis-
lature the publication of result OF
such analyses would do much to
put people on their guard against
dangerous compounds which are
being sold in the state. Other states
protect their citizens against such

FOR PAUL JONES' BODY.
Congress May be Asked for S15O,00O
TO Search for Remains.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 9.-Another
effort is to be made to interest con-
gress in the project to have the
bones of John Paul Jones removed
to this country. Those interested
hope to induce congress to appro-
pirate $150,000 for the purpose
The last resting place of John
Paul Jones is supposed to be under
a photograph gallery at Rue Grange
Aux Bellies and Rue DIES Excuses
ST. Martin, Paris. The entire square
in which the bones are supposed TIC
lie can probably be bought for
$4,000.
1t is the desire of American his
torical and patriotic societies, which
have communicated with Secretary
Moody to have the buildings on this
land RACED aud a careful search made
for the bones. If they are found
they will he brought to this country
on war ship and the square will be
resold. If the bones should not be
found it is the desire of the admirers
of the naval hero that the square be
converted iuto park, In which a
monument shall be raised to the
revolutionary hero.

Big BARN BURNED
Fire Destroyed Building on
Pickenpaugh farm this morning.
Two Horses Burued-Oats and Baled
Straw DESTROYED is Heavy
Fire Discovered by Jolifie- Theory

STRAW DESTROY eu-Losc Is HSAf =
Fire Discovered by Theory
as to Origin.
The big barn on the Pickenpaugh
farm, three miles south OF town on the
Evansville pike. was destroyed by fire
between two and three O'Clock Friday
morning, with all Of its contents.
The blaze was one OF the biggest that
has occurred in this county for long
time, and the loss is heavy.
1t was about two o'clock in the
morning when Hooker Joliffe who
lives across the road from the burned
structure discovered the fire. He was
aroused by the light streaming through
the windows. The roof OF the barn
was mass Of flames, and the straw
stored inside had just caught when he
discovered it. Nothing could be done
towards getting anything ont Of the
blazing building.
Two horses were in the barn, and
all efforts to get them out were futile.
Both were burned TO death.
One hundred bushels OF oats, 80 tons
OF baled straw, eighteen sets OF har-
ness, buggy, and numerous farming
implements were burned. The loss on
the building alone is from $4,000 to
$500. 1t Is difficult to estimate the
loss on the contents.
As usual. it is impossible to tell
how the fire started. So far as is
known, there were no lights or fire in
any shape about the barn. The men
who put their teams away say they
did not have a lantern. The only
theory that seems at all plausible, Is
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
and the owners do not want to believe
this.
The barn burned was situated on
what is known as the upper farm.
Hooker Joliffe looked after it. The
lower house is occupied by Omar Bon,

Merry HORSE THIEF
Entered Creel's Stable sssd Took Horse
and Buggy--No Clue.

About eight o'clock last night the
ncrviest horse thief that ever came
galivanting around these pats, en-
tered stable on the avenue and
stole valuable bay driving horse
belonging to M. NJ. Cfeel, black
smith for Tough Bros. He hitchcd
the animal to Mr.. Creel's buggy and
drove OF, how far or in what direc-
tion, no one has the slightest idea.
Mr. Creel concludes that the
horse was taken about eight o'clock,
because all the feed in the trough
and rack had not been eaten. He
discovered his loss this morning.
The animal was a good driver, and
the thief could easily have been
fifty miles away this morning. There
is not the slightest clue to follow
which might lead to the capture of
the thief, but Mr.. Creel would pay
handsome reward to get his prop
erty.

Residence.

Attention Prom fire-Bugs Prof.
Patterson Puts the Blaze Ont After
a Hot Fight-Other Instances OF
Incendiarism.
An attempt has been made to fire
the residence of M. L. Brown in
South Park. This residence is near
ing completion and is near those OF
Prof. Patterson and T. ID. Stewart.
The fire was discovered by the chill
dren OF Prof. Patterson before it had
gained much Roadway. They told
their father about it.
The professor ran to the rescue
and succeeded in putting the blaze
out before it had done much damage
The fire had been started on the
stairs leading to the attic, and had
there been little more time given
to it the house would have beer
burned to the ground. AS it was
the studding was badly scorched
and the plastering was ruined fol
some distance up the walls.
Investigation showed that shaw
ings and pieces of klndling wood
had been crrried from the lower
floors to the attic stairway AND
there had been set on fire. The
workmen who had been in tae build
ing recognized some of the pieces Of
wood which had been taken nom
their workbenches and put in the
fire.
There are no clues 70 the perpe
traitors of this dastardly attempt al

1t is also believed that the Pick
enpaugh barn near town was set or
fire. Two or three other mysterious
fires have occurred recently and the
officers should be on guard to catch
the fire-bug.

ARMY.NAyY GAME.
Poor Outlook for Contest Between
West Point and Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 9.-Those
who have charge Of athletics of the
Naval Academy are willing to submit
to arbitration every question which
hascaused the athletic rupture between
that institution and West Point.
Commander w. +. Halsey, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Navy Athletic Association, is respon-
sible for this statement. IL West
Point will be equally fair,-the foot
ball game will take place again this
year.
The position of West Point Is, how
ever, that they will not consent TO
submit to arbitration whether or not
any cadet of that institution can play.
AS the difference between the two in.
situations arose over eligibility rules,
and there does not appear to be any
thing else to arbitrate, SO apparently
the prospect of the game is not great.
