1T is happy omen. Mr.. Roosevelt is
an iInpetuous man, and there was good
cause for conservative voters to be afraid
of him and to oppose him; but he seems
not to have been puffed up by his great
triumph but to have ibeen sobered by H.

distinguished compliment which they have

COURT HOUSE DYNAMlTED.
Attempt TO Demolsh Building Failed to Have
Much Effect.

An attempt was made to wreck the
Court House at st. Marys, w. Va.
by dynamite. The last prisoner had
been released and Jailer d. l.. Slime
moved into a dwelling several squares
away.
The dynamiters forced open the
north door. In the southeast corner OF
the jail near the ceiling they placed a
stick OF dynamite and attached a fuse
which led to the corridor The ex.
plosion occurred about IL o'clock at
night, and although Policeman Riggs
was on the spot within Ave minutes
he found no trace Of the perpetrators.
Windows we're shattered, the ceiling
torn loose and the floor OF the court
room raised in that corner foot.
Some think 1t was done by someone
who had once been confined in the
Jail. Others suggest that the deed
was committed by parties who are
in favor of new Court House. Two
years ago the County Commissioners
caused to be recorded In their minute
book the fact tnat the building was un'
safe, and also passed an order pro-
vlding for the erection OF new build
ing, going SO far as to pay about 81
600 for an architects plans, but have
since done nothing.
