BIT OF ADVICE
WAS GIVEN JOHN RUSSO WHO
WAS BEFORE THE MAYOR
THIS MORNING.

The case against John Russo for
selling fruit on the Sabbath, on COM
plant by Officer Fleming was not
proven and the man discharged. The
mayor gave John bit of advice and
told him to keep that door locked IN
Sunday or they would take 1t for
granted that he was violating the or.
dinance and arrest him.
George Shaffer was drunk and lott.
erins at the Johns Bros glass house
last midnight. Officer Gould went
over In response to a telephone mes
sage and brought him over. He &C.
knowledged the charge and was fined
$500. He is typical hobo and said
he would have been out of town last
night had it not been so dark that he
was afraid to so down in the yards.
He told the mayor that If he wasn't
turned loose before real cold weather
came along, the town would have him
to keep all winter. =.
David Waddell, patriarchial in ap-
pearance, was up for drunkenness. He
doesn't get drink very often AMI it
puts him on the bum when he does
get to it. The mayor told him he was
too old to do such things and he said
he knew 1t but ut appeared like he
just would take a drink" 5000.

pATRoNIzs HOME INDUSTRIES.

The West Virginian was informed
last evening that there is Baltimore
clothier in our city who is soliciting
orders for his house. 1t was stated
that he Is meeting with great success
that he was here last spring at
at which time he sold 1873 suits. We
were surprised to hear this and also
sorry to hear It. It is straightforward
business on the part of the enterpris-
Ing Baltimorean. yet 1t should not be
encouraged by our people. Such a
thing is very shurtful TO our city. II
we had no clothiers or tailors here It
would be different. Fairmont has a
number Of tailoring establishments,
each Of which employs half dozen
or SO mon, whereas they should. have,
II our home people would patronlze
them. the help of forty or fifty each.
Does II occur to the Baltimorean's
5 patrons that the money they give him
never returns? Do not they know
that too much money is going out
of this community all the time, and
that such a thing is drawback to
our prosperity
When told about clothing we were
also informed that many of our peo-
pie buy their footwear abroad instead
Of dealing with our home merchants
and manufacturers.
It is bad enough to see that instead
OF our farmers producing 1t nearly all
the grain, hay and straw needed here
IL brought from distance. Our farm.
ers are blamable for this condition TO
q large extent. They should be more
Industrious than they have been.
Many of our people not only pur.
schase their clothing and footwear but
groceries and provisions at distant
points. This should be stopped. II
is easy to see what the result will be
sooner or later. It means an impoyer
{. ished community. Sending money
away all the time never to return
means nothing else.
The West yirginian would not think
Of purchasing anything away from
home that is handled here, and any
body who does so ought to know that
he is not doing what is to the best
interests of his town and people.

September 25th, We asked the SUI
perintendents of Marion county Sun.
day Schools for list of their teach
crs. So far we have but five of the
lists in our possession. This does not
signify very much enthusiasm. Do
you want any discussion of this sub.
ject? Are you afraid 1t will take Sec
tartan turn? Do you fear because the
county papers have given us space
that It will be of secular character?
or did you think the other 100 or more
superintendent would forward their
list and you would not be missed? If
you mean business, won't you wake
up? II the lists are not in soon we
shall conclude there Is no desire for
the improvement OF your teachers oil
that you have no confidence in the
ability of the county superintendent.
In either case 1t would be useless to
20 further.

HAD RELATIVES IN SOUTH.
Two Young Brothers kiheo In Wreck
 Buried in Unknown Graves.

Meridian. July 22.-(Special)- yard foreman of the Mobile and Ohio railroad at this point is in receipt of a letter from one E. N A. Smith, dated at Carmi. ILL, stating that two young men, brothers, aged about 22 and 24 years, respectively, who claimed to have formerly lived in Meridian and worked here at the paint ers trade, were killed near Mount Yer non, Ind. in a collision on the Louisville and Nashville railroad on the night of July IA, with six other men
 The writer of the letter says that he met the boys and made their acquaintance incidentally, as travelling companions only two hours before the accident, but did not learn their names, but did hear them say that they had brother-ln-law living in Meridian and another in Montgomery. Their bodies were crushed and frightfully mangled in the collision, and they were buried in Evansville cemetery without Identification. This letter was received here late tonight, and up to this hour no clue to the identity of the young men has been obtained. They told Smith that they were en route to East St Louis. where they hoped to get employment at their trade.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 VET HAT are you putting into this
 w day-fear. uncertainty, growls.
 grouches, discouragements? Doubt of yourself and your powers-fear lest the thing you want to do you will not be able to do?
 Or are you taking to it glad faith and assurance, a determination to succeed live, thrilling belief in yourself and in the work you are to do?
 Whatever your attitude may be each other day, remember this: Whatever you put into that day you will get out of 1t.
 Perhaps you have been in the habit of waiting to see what the day would bring to you-waiting upon it's events, so to speak. Perhaps while wishing for inspi- ration and for success in your work, you have deferred to conditions and influences yet to be manifested
 If those conditions and influences proved to be unfavorable, you blamed luck for it. You believed yourself to be at the mercy of circumstances. If the day brought you a blue mood instead of the happy, energetic one you wanted, you thought there was no help for it and fought your blues as best you could.
 Why not get at the root of the matter Why not put the blame where it belongs? The fact is that by your own words you decide what the day shall mean to you. It is in your power to say eacn morning what you intend to realize before night comes. f

Health Officer Makes Statement.

The following statement was given out by City Health Officer Kohnke tonight:
 During the past week or more mum Der of cases of fever have occurred within a limited area In a section of the city oc- cupied almost exclusively by 0 foreign population.
 ''No cases of the fever are known to ex- ist outside of this area save two or three, which are directly traceable to 1t. and to the infected area, few squares in extent which Is under vigorous disnfection.
 Tt Is expected that the measures adopt ed and operated will be successful in erad- icating the Infection, the nature of which is suspected to be yellow fever, though the autopsic findings in one case only de- termined this as a conclusion.
 To-day a meeting of leading citizens with the mayor and the heads of the state and city health departments adopted measures evincing determination to pre- vent further admission of the infection or spread of that which exists and conf denee that it can and will be stamped out entirely"

villages more than two hundred milesl from the points of publication. One great railway line has a special sys- tenn for rural delivery by which pack ages are carried forty or fifty miles for 5 cents, and thus the shops of a great city are brought to the doors of many thousands of villagers.
 The trolley car has knit togther hum dreds of villagers, giving them cheaper and more rapid communication with one another and with the next market town. Telephone service is cheaper and more satisfactory than in most large cities. Scores of villages have within twenty years provided cheap electric ligullng systems, conducted as an adjunct to the public water supply system. Comfort, health and safety have increased through purer and more abundant water. In southern Pennsylvania and on the northern edge of Delaware where many rapid streams from hill countries provide plenty of water power, deserted mill sites have been bought up and the water is now used to generate electricity which sup plies both light and power, not only to neighporing y-nages, but to many farms. Within a few years the coun- tr..- roads in the neighborhood will probably be as well lighted as Village streets.

Gravel Mining In Oregon.

Emma Seckle Marshall in Sunset Maga-
 zine for July.
 The history of placer mining in Oregon is an interesting one. It begins in 1851 with the discovery of gold in gravel bed of Josephine county. by a pioneer; He recognized the auriferous character of the soil and with crude rocker and sluice obtained the first placer gold in Oregon. The returns from this slow method of mining were rather dishearten- ing He washed out the surface deposits and departed for other fields leaving to his successors his cradle and tools. Such has ever been the history of gold dis coveries. Men have become enthusiastic over the joy of finding 1t yet have grown weary of the effort necessary to bring success. There is always the lure of other places, the hope of striking it rich. But as one goes another take his place and so these placers were worked more or less spasmodically. until it recent years better facilities have richly rewarded those who believed in them These gravel beds rank with the richest in the world.

NEGRO RETURNS THE HORSE

Selma, July 22.--(Special.) .)-A handsome memorial tablet placed there In honor of the memory of the late Bishop R. w. Barnwell of the diocese of Alabama, now adorns the wall of St. Paups church building on the left side of the pulpit. Bishop Barnwell was rector of St. Paul 8 for twenty years and few men have ever lived in this--c who were loved by the people as he was loved.
 Shortly after his death Mrs. B. A. vassar of this city, began the labor of love of collecting funds with which to place a memorial in the church build Ing Friends responded and Mrs. Vassar continued her labors until the tablet was put in place yesterday
 The tablet Is of Carrara marble of Gothic design and bears the following raised inscription:
 ITO the Glory of God and In Mem
 ory of Rt. Rev. R. w. Barnwell,
 Rector of this Church 1880 to 1900.
 Consecrated Bishop of Alabama
 July 26, 1900.
 December 27 1849. July 24, 1902.'
 Blessed are those servants whom
 the Lord when He cometh shall find
 watching."
 At the top of the tablet are polished ivy leaves and beneath them the bishops seal in Gothic tracery. In the top circle are the crossed keys, in the left circle the mitre and in the right the staff. At the bottom of the tablet Is shell shaped shelf of polished marble for flowers. The tablet Is considered very handsome by those who have seen 1t and 1t will long serve as a visible memorial of one whose place Is still warm in the hearts of many to whom he brought comfort, con solation and hope in days gone by
 The tablet was placed in position today by Robert C.. Richards of the Oak Hill Marble and Stone works of Birming- ham and reflects great credit upon that concern. It Is handsome piece of work and will be greatly admired by the con gregation.
 Horse Was Returned.
 Thursday night the stable of Council man w c. Agee was entered and his horse and new saddle and bridal taken. This morning when he awoke he found the horse with the saddle and bridle on in vacant lot almost in front of his home Two negro women who were go- ing to their work early in the morning say that just before day they saw a negro man ride the horse up to the va cant lot and get off and leave it. It is supposed that the thief became afraid that he would be found with the horse in his possession and returned 1t to its owner.

PLUCK NOT LUCK WINS


The hours stretch before you, plastic to your thought. It Is you who must de- termine the shape their events shall take,
 If you have been facing the morning with mind full of ifs, butts and how evers, why wonder that you have not succeeded as you hoped?
 It Is one thng to hope and another to decree You may hope with fervency every day of your life for the good you desire. but if you fortify that hope with nothing more positive than ifs. buts and howevers you need not be disappointed to see that you are continually doomed to disappointment.
 Whatever you put into the day you get out of it.
 Take the conquering attitude At the very beginning ally yourself with success forces by declaring that you intend to do the things that you want to do. Deter mine to realize happiness from whatever you undertake. Determine to fill your work with magnetism and joy.
 When you take this stand you league your mind with all the success forces in the universe. Just as soon as you cease waiting upon conditions and declare your right as ruler you summon these forces to work with you and for you in every endeavor.
 Be glad and complain no longer of handicaps, of moods, of dlscouragements. Let go of your fears; let go of your 1n- certainty your doubt. your unraith. Suc- cess is for you if you are for success. Happiness is with you if you are with happiness. Greet the day with glad hand.
 What are you putting into the day? Ask yourself the question. Whatever you put into 1t you will get from 1t. ]

COMFORTS IN VILLAGE LIFE.
The Growing Movement of People to
 Small Towns and Rural Districts.

E. N vallandingham in the Worlds
 Work.
 We are returning to village life, though a generation ago it was thought by city people form of intel lectual and social stagnation. From 1880 to 1890 cities of 25, 900 inhabitants or more grew almost twice as fast as the United States as whole. From 1890 to 1900 the growth of cities was slower. For example, towns of at least 5000 inhabitants, from 1880 to 1890, grew little more than four times as fast as rural communities; whereas, from 1890 to 1900 the growth was only two and half times as fast The next census in 1910 will probably show de- cided increase in the relative rate of rural growth. It must remembered, too, that large majority of the immigrants have remained in the cities. It is plain that the villages are more than holding their own as dwelling places for Amer jeans.
 What has acted upon the inhabitants of villages to keep them at home? Since 1894 there has been an amazing material improvement in cities, and constantly increasing business activity to attract able and energetic men. Yet return to nature is going on, and it is because village life is not only be- coming more attractive to those who have known no other, but is also draw ing people who have long lived in cities. Men return in after years of turmoil in great towns to pass their last days in the peace of their native villages. Meanwhile, the conditions that make the returned wanderers content are keeping the village youths at home.
 There are villages of 1500 inhabi- tants or fewer, fully 125 miles from New York, distance by rail of scarce ly three hours. A generation ago the villagers, to reach the nearest large cities, had to go by tedious way trains at twenty miles an hour for from twenty to fifty miles to take an ex- press train. Railway service is great ly improved, and with the improved service have come cheaper postal fa- cilities-prompt and frequent mails, and more rural mail service supple mentary to the work of the railway postofhce.

 Building to Collapse.

Cumberland, Md, July 22.-The big fly-wheel at the Maryland rail mill burst this afternoon, section weigh ing over ton going out through the roof, striking the main girders and causing the roof to collapse, tearing down half the mill. About twenty-five men were caught under the roof, but none of them were killed, though Charles Whitman, Roy Daniel and James Twigg may be fatally hurt.
 The mill caught fire, but there is little wood to burn. At least dozen men are injured.
