ms leaving Newport, which have ? en furnished us from reliable Ind knowing parties.
 The negro has been employed for several weeks at the South ern Cotton Oil Mill, and when paid off Saturday night by w. A. O'Neal, expressed his intention of beating his way to St. Louis. He was then dressed in a suit of bib overalls. He wore this same suit when he left his boarding house that night after supper. He was seen in O'Neal's saloon forty minutes after the crime oc- cured by Sheriff Randy, Board Bond and Mr. Sutton, and at that time had on this same suit of bib overalls and wore shoes that were round toed and had no heels.
 The fact that he jumped off a fast train, discarded his shoes and coat and tried to escape across the country go to show he ! is the guilty man, but his story that the trainmen took his money for fare and scared him up by accusing him of the crime here, made the attempt to escape a very natural outcome.
 Will O'Neal says that this ne- gro is one of that class who don t know how to dress up, whereas the attempted assaulter is de- scribed as asporty looking negro. Duggitt is also very large ne- gro, which does not tally with the description of the man wanted.
 SALOONS CLOSED.
 Large crowds congregated Monday in the vicinity of the jail and for fear that a lynching bee might again be inaugurated the mayor requested the closing of all saloons, which was. complied with.
 The investigation took a new turn Monday when Jim Shaw, a section hand on the Iron Noun tain, who lives over in the rail- road yards, brought forward a new clue.
 He says he was at home alone when a negro, whom he knew by the name of Bud, and whose last name he thinks is Taylor, when between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday evening, h e| heard several raps on the door.
 
 He asked whosit was several times but received no answer. When he opened the door, he found his acquaintance Bud, who was out of breath from running and said he was in trouble. Shaw refused to let him stay and the negro left with the formers bar of soap, presumably to use in washing himself, for he was quite muddy says Shaw.
 The officers are now working on this clue trying to get a good of the said negro and to learn of his whereabouts.
 No less fate than hanging is due the ficnd who committed the crime, but no city nor county can afford to see lynched an in- nocent man. It would be a last ing reproach to our civilization and love of right and justice. The negro Duggitt is not be- lieved to be guilty by many of the people who are the best in formed and our knowledge of the facts does not support the view that he committed the crime. A more complete investigation should at least be had, before death is meted out to one who may be innocent.

WITH HIS THROAT CUT
Peter Fernandes, a Swede, Found at
the Lee Farm West of Oakland.

Peter Fernandes, Swede, Found at
the Lee Farm West of Oakland.
Tuesday Messrs. Samuel b. Lee
and John Harmed, residing on the
Davis farm west of Oakland near
Hutton, found Peter Fernandes. a
Swede, lying in the woods on the
farm with three severe and danger
GUS cuts across his throat, which evil
IDENTIFY had been self-inficted two or
three days prior.
When found the man was perfectly
conscious and stated that he had
been in the woods two DAYS in the
condition in which he was discovered
and declared that he had been assault
ted by two or three men who after
intiicting his wounds robbed him of
three dollars and left him. He then
wandered from the spot where the
alleged assault had been committed
to the Davis farm. He had on neither
coat, hat or SHOES and was weak
owing to the fact of having lost so
much blood and nothing to eat.
He was brought to Oakland by
Messrs. Lee and Harmed and taken to
the Jail where he is being treated by
DR.. Ravenscraft the heath officer,
and is doing as we'll as can be expect
ed under the circumstances now exist
ing at the jail, which contains TWEEN
tythree prisoners when there are
comfortable accommodation for less
than half that number.

PROF. J. FRANK M'BEE
CHOSEN PRINCIPAL
OF the Oakland Public Scholastic is
Native of Baltimore.
COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
AS An Excellent Educator-ls a Grad
uate of Randolph-Macon College
and of Maryland State Normal.

Monday the trustees of the Oakland
public schools, Messrs. Joseph E.
Harmed, Daniel Hinebaugh and John
w. Hart, met and after considering a
number of applications for the princi- !
pals hip of the school here, decided to
employ Prof. J. Frank McBee, of
b altimOre, until recently principal
of the Centreyille High School, at
Cen treville, Md, which position he
held for two years, recently resigning.
Before deciding to employ Prof !
McBee the trustees here made a
thorough investigation of his qualiti-
cations and the many letters received
from merchants, bankers and bust
ness men generally of Centreville in
ans wer to the inquiries of the board
spoke with one accord of his ability as
an organizer, educator, scholar and
gentleman.
Prot. McBee was born in Baltimore
and is a graduate of Randolph Macon
College, Va, and also of the Maryland
State Normal School in Baltimore.
Two years ago he took charge of the
Ce ntreville High School and "by his
ability, hIdu 'try, and love of profess
ion one of the business men of Cen
treville writes, "he has brought the
school from a low level to high
plane
From a recent issue of the Centre
vile Record, the following is clipped
concerning Prof McBee:
The commencement exercises of
the &c ntreville High School will take
: pl ace next week and the showing is &
credit to the principal, Prof. McBee,
the faculty and the county. The six
young ladies of the graduating class
of 1904, show averages seldom obtain
ed where the curriculum is so varied
and where the contestants for the
honors were equally ambitious.
1T is the intention of majority of
the young ladies to teach school and
their high averages in their numerous
studies show they are quslfied.
They are better qualified than if
hey held a certificate from the State
Normal School and about as well
qualified as graduates of that institu-
ton. If our local educational insti-
buttons can prepare teachers and
young ladies and gentlemen of the
county can be found who have the
ambition, grit, perseverance and abil-
ity to make the effort and win out,
there is no Just reason why the coun-
" school board should not give them
a school over applicants out of the
county.
" AS we understand it one of the OBJ
jects in building the high school was
to give the local ambitious, worthy
young ladies and gentlemen an OPP
portunity to prepare.for teaching or
for college, where their financial con-
dltlon would not permit them to
make such preparations from home.
This was intimated to Prof. J. Frank
McBee when he took charge of the
institution and he has faithfully la
bored to carry out the plans and pur-
poses of the county school board and
the patrons of the high school.
1--WE have not learned positively
whether or not Prof. McBee desires
, to continue at the head of the High
School for the ensuing year. If he

the final day for the Mouatain Chau-
tauqua for the season of 1904, which
day is given over entirely to the
Grand Army of the Republic.
The program for the day is one that
will be pleasing to people in all walks
OF life, touching, as it will, upon
many topics, foremost of which will be
the lecture by Jahu Dewitt Miller,
entitled "Our Country" which will
be delivered in the great auditorium
at II O'Clock. Mr.. Miller has been
one of the lecturers at the Park every
year for more than twenty consecu-
tive seasons and has always been re-
celved b. crowds of admiring listen
ers. He is the most popular lecturer
on the American platform today.
AT two o'clock in the afternoon a
concert of war songs, with orchestral
numbers, by the Royal Hungarian
Orchestra will be the feature, follow
ed at 2.30 by an hour of mimicry and
poetry by Capt. Jack Crawford, the
Poet-Scout of the Western plains.
Capt. Jack" will relate many wild
and thrilling experiences in many
battles OF the West and South. He is
picturesque character and when
upon the lecture platform is attired
in his garb of buckskin and guns. -
He has National reputation as a
poet and is superb orator.
At half past four o'clock the annual
camp fire of the old soldiers will take
place and a good time is anticipated
by the "boys' of both the blue and
gray.
In the evening at seven o'clock the
grand farewell entertainment will
occur. For this hour Rosani, the in
comparable juggler, has been engag-
ed, who will perform some of the most
astounding feats. Others upon the
platform during the evening will be
the famour Williamson Sisters Quar-
tette, DR.. Pontius and chorus and the
Hungarian orchestra.
The fireworks will be put off at the
lake at nine o'clock and the grounds
will be beautifully decorated and illu-
minated upon the occasion.
Special excursion trains will be run
for the occasion from both east and
west and all who can should take ad-
vantage of the low rates and visit
the Park on that day. They will be
amply repaid by their visit.

AT THE CHURCH PARADE.

Cyril Thornton was absolutely Droke
to the world. Not the ordinary want
of a FLYER brokenness, but the real
downright thing, for he had not a
penny in the world.
More than that. he had no belong
ings which he could deposit with his
avuncular relative for valuable con-
sideration. More than that, he had
not even an attic to sleep in.
Neither wine, women nor cards
brought his to this state, but pure,
unadulterated bad luck. A gentleman
by birth, and with luxurious bringing
up, he had found himself suddenly
thrown on his own resources.
1t was beautiful morning in June.
London was filed with fashionable
people, and from some feeling of
''cussedness'' Cyril went to church pa
rade in the park. His shabby cloth es
did not worry him, for he had no false
sense of pride.
He walked hstlessly along, watch
beauty that the world holds. Cyril
The crowd was thinning away when
he saw ahead of him an elderly man
of aristocratic appearance BY his
side walked a young girl with the
loveliest face he had ever seen. The
man signaled to a coachman, and a
victoria pulled up near the curb.
As the girl was entering the carriage
Cyril saw something glitter from her
wrist and fall into the road. =e was
Just hurrying to pick it up when the
carriage rapidly drove away.
