A MYSTERY.
A Beautiful Young Lddu Found Un-
conscious on Fourteenth Street.

A beautiful young lady, fairly
we'll dressed, with blue eyes and
who looks to be about twenty years
OF age, was found in an unconscious
condition on l4th street, between
the union station and Glenwood
Hotel, about 1920 o'clock, Tuesday
evening. She was seen To alight
from No. 81, n. ~ w. tram, which
arrived here from Columbus, OHIO,
at 9:l5. The young lady was taken
To the Glenwood Hotel and Special
n. II w. Officer Strother Mavs
was summoned. Mr.. Mays at once
sent for Drs. York and Wells, who
worked with the girl for several
hours before she regained conscious
ness. When consciousness at last
came to her she gave her name as
May Richards and that she had a
position as book-keeper for a large
firm at lncinnati, where her home
is; that she went to Columbus TO
spend her vacation and after having
completed her visit TO Ohio's capi.
tai city she went to the union sta
tion at that place and bought
ticket for Cincinnati, having a suit
case and purse containing s25.
or $4,000. She says she remembers
nothing more until she opened her
eyes in KeDova. The young lady is
about fl. inches tall and weighs
about 90 lbs. She is still at the
Glenwood Hotel and is yet too weak
to be out of bed When found she
only had 3 cents and no suit case.
1t is certainly mysterious case.
the girl herself seemingly not want
ing to tell all she knows. 1t looks
very much, however, that one of
two things caused her TO appear in
our midst as she did, viz: she either
had been drugged or attempted to
commit suicide.-Reporter.
The unfortunate woman was
placed on No. SO, N. & w. west
bound passenger train, last Friday
morning, but before the tt lain reach
ed Ironton, she leaned over and
fell from her seat. Trainmen re-
stored her to a sitting posture, bu t
she had lost all consciousness an d
all nerve control and had to be held
In her seat until Portsmouth was
reached. AT that place she WAS taken
from the train and removed TO the
city hospital.

Lightning Rod SWindler.

A man who is believed TO he a
very shrewd lightning rod swiudler
has been operating among the farm
ers In the vicinity of the Cabell
Wayne county line. He claims to
have offices in liamlin and Hunting

neither place does such an office ex.

The mans graft Is to talk fire in
surance, until he gets his victim
interested, and then suddenly switch
es oil onto lightning rods, claiming
that the insurance company which
he represents and the lightning rod
company are affiliated. He tells of
a copper rod, and gives written
guarantee TO forfeit five hundred
dollars in case a house with rods on

ly he says that he is Introducing the
new lightning rods and that his
company will put up one free in

whether he will not consent to have
the rods placed on his house and
allow Others to inspect them. When
the farmer consents. he produces

Laws Not Understood,

"There are a great many persons
who do not understand the operation
of the tax law" said Tax Commits
sioner Dillon recently. "The levy
this year is being based on the
same. assessment of real estate as il
was last year. The personal prop
erty was assessed this year in the
same manner as it is every year.
The value was on fair cash basis
and not on it's true and actual value
as will be the case next year. The
valuation at fair cash value and
the great amount of property that
was never on the books before ma.
turally increased the personal prop
erty assessment. The increase IN
the amount of property placed on
the books was due principally to
the tax agitation, which made the
assessors moro diligent in finding
all kinds of personal property not
hitherto assessed. Then again the
lease holds were not booked las I
year.
"The Legislature anticipated this
increase in the assessment and pro.
vlded that the county court should
not lay levy that would bring the
amount of money raised above a
certain figure"

SCHOOL SCANDAL.
Public School Teachers Accused
OF Committing Forgery.

Clarksburg, w. Va. Aug. 23.-
Ii is circulated here that State Su-
perintendent Thomas G. Miller, of
Charleston, is In communicate n
with County Superintendent l..
Wayman Ogden, concerning a very
grave forgery which occurred
In a recent uniform examination
held in this city. Superintendent
Ogden, wi IL in Salem at present,
has not given out any information
concerning the matter, but 1t is evi-
dent that two popular school teach
ers will be forever barred from the
profession in this state, if not dealt
with little stronger. 1t is said
that two teachers, one at least hail
ing from Barbour county, passed
the examination here. In our IN
ability to give names we will call
one B. and the other Nj. Mr. b.
taught school in this county last
winter and it is said secured the
services of Mr.. NJ. to assist him in
passing. Mr.. NJ. passed the ex-
animation and sipned his papers
with Mr.. BIS name and Mr.. b.
signed his with Mr.. Ms name.
Mr.. b. secured a first class certifi-
cate while Mr.. M. failed. How
ever, ii was the reverse relative to
their true names. The certificates
were granted as above made and
not until after they were delivered
did the authorities catch on to the
scheme, and are now making an
investigation which will cause the
boys who used fraudulent methods
much trouble.

The Hereafter of Man.

No more beautiful expression on
the hereafter of man and the hope
Of future life has ever come under
our notice than the following from
w. j. Bryan: eff the Father
deigns to touch with Divine power
the cold and pulseless heart Of a
buried acorn and make it burst
forth from its prison walls, will he
leave neglected the soul of man
who was made in the image Of his
Creator? If he stOops to give to
the rosebusb, whose witbered bios.
SONS float upon the autumn breeze,
the sweet assurance of another
spring-time, will he withhold the
words of hope from the souls Of
men when the frosts of winter Gomez
If matter, mute and inanimate, is
changed by the force Of nature into
a multitude Of forms that never die,
will the spirit of man suffer annihi-
lation after it has paid brief visit,
like a royal guest, to this tenement
Of clay?"

very strongly impregnated with the
idea of a high level canal with locks
In the North American Review article
by General Hams, one of the new COM
missioners, he urges that in the past
most of the engineers who have studied
the subject favor a high level canal,
and on this he bases his argument
against a sea-level canal. Now it is
evident to the lay as well as to the pro-
fessional mind that the sea level canal
has manifest and continuing advan-
tages over a high level canal. 1t has
the advantage in cost of operation cost
,of maintenance, and more than any
thing else, in the cost of enlarging,
should it ever need to be enlarged, as it
is as certain as anything can be in this
world that it will need to be, with the
development of commerce and ship
building. OF course, it is possible that
the added cost and added time required
to construct a sea level canal may out
weigh these advantages. But in the
light of the facts which DR.. Osler has
pointed out, facts which are not new,
but which he has put i'm a new way,
isn't it possible that the President, him
self comparatively young man, may
have set i'm operation the agencies for
another of those great, colossal mis-
takes with which seXagenarii win be
charged in the future, by replacing a
Board of comparatively young men,
with a Board of comparatively old
men? At any rate this will be an in
teresting point to watch, except that
the great difficulty will be that there
won't be so very many of us left to pass
judgment on the matter when the time
comes that judicial judgment on this
matter can be passed

The action of the House Saturday
in unanimously adopting Coelho's
resolution to inquire into the curious
state of affairs regarding the pay of
Captain Paul Smith for services as
policeman on duty at Iwilei, shows that
the House is mystihed, to say the least,
lust as the rest of the community is.
The High Sheriff told the Senate COM
mittee that he was being paid $40 a
month by the police department. Smith
himself testified that i'm addition he
was getting $50 from DR.. Cooper. Now
the Auditor has no record of payments
to Smith, and he would like 10 know
how he has been paid out of public
funds and the fact not be shown on any
of the vouchers that come to his office
Another curious thing in connection
with the matter is that some time ago.
before the matter became one of such
notoriety, it was generally understood
that Paul Smith was getting $125 a
month Representative Coelho has
done a public service in bringing this
matter before the House for investiga-
ton.

THE POLICE AND BLOODSHED.

on January g. the Star, in an editorial
occasioned by the disturbance of the
whole town the night before. by the
general alarm of the police for So
called riot drill said among other
things: 1.-THE drill itself is as obsolete
and archaic as the means of signalling
for it, The idea of arming police with
rifles and bayonets, is one that survives
only i'm a few places and there mostly
for show purposes. In cities where
the police have actual experience with
rioters, the policeman's club has been
found far and away the most effective
weapon to quell a riot. 1t is more eff
fective and safer for both the police
and the people who may be unavoidably
i'm the vicinity, and yet are not rioters.
The duties, drill and service of police,
does not adapt the rifle or the bayOnet
to their use'
The unfortunate incident at Waipahu,
Saturday, when a Chinese laborer was
killed by a bullet fired by a policeman,
as now seems the case enforces with
human blood the principle that was
sought to be set forth in that editorial
namely, that the policeman's club is
the most effective weapon with which
to quell a riot. The shooting of the
poor Chinaman, was as unnecessary
as it is regrettable. If there was not
so much "riot-drill" and opera bouffe
military tactics i'm the police drill and
police administration as there is, and
little more common sense instruction
