a German cry of the chase, adapted by
the German soldiers to war, and Dor
rowed from them by the English, per-
haps first of all at the time Of the
thirty years. war. FHurra!' is said
to have; been the battle cry of the
Prussians in the war Of liberation
#Q812-13l. Still, the curious fact that
seventeenth and eighteenth century
writer's call "Huzza!" a sailors shout
lends support to the conjecture that it
may. really have been the hosting cry,

Superstitious Frenchmen of a former
time might have found significance in
the name of the Inflated submarine
Lutin. This word, now used as an ad-
jeetive meaning frolicsome, roguish,
was originally the name of. certain

ICE CREAM FACTORY
HAS OPENED

The Walthour Candy Company,
whose large wholesale and manu-
featuring plant burned some months
ago have reconstructed part of the
plant that is to eclipse the former
one in size and equipment by far,
and are now placing on the market,
as win be noticed by their adyer-
tisement in another column, the
product of their ice cream factory.
They manufacture and sell at whole
sale that popular brand Of ice cream
known as the Polar Star, and the
name implies what it is. They
make a speciality of shipping out-of-
town orders, and do it in the most
satisfactory manner. Special at
tention is given also to furnishing
ice cream for bazaars, picnics and
fairs.
The concern also conduct mod
ernly equipped and popular ice
cream parlor in connection with the
Handy Kitchen in the Huch build
ing Of West Pike street, where every
thing is attractive, pleasant and
comfortable for patrons, of whom
they have large number.
In connection with the rebuilding
of their plant it is not amiss to call
attention to the fact that the equip
ments are far better and more ex-
tensiye that they we're before. In
addition to the regular buildings is
a wholesale storage house for stor-
ing raw material by the car load.
They are. manufacturing bread
and have had it t-on the market sey.
eral days, and aslo. cakes and pies
are being manufactured. These as
well as their manufacture of bread
are meeting with popular wholesale
and, Of course, merchants in turn
find ready sale for them. Another
oven more than they had before for
baking cakes has been installed.
The ice cream season just open
ing is bound to bring the Walthour
Candy Company fine trade, because
they make the best to be had and
their ice cream can not help but be
popular, and again at their ice
cream parlor as well as in meeting
the wholesale trade, courteous and
prompt attention is given and every
one gets his moneys worth.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
SHADOWED DISAPPEAR

There was much excitement in
banking circles in Clarksburg Sat
urday and the streets were well sta
toned with officers heavily armed.
They presented yeritable walking
arsenal and were ready at moments
notice to shoot down suspicious char
acters, who might have made the
slightest motion to disturb the finan-
cial institutions Of the city.
This intense excitement, though
not generally known, caused bank
ers toawait with abated breath news
Of desperation, such as had never
occurred in the long history of
Clarksburg,
lt became known at an early
hour that a gang of professional
bank burglars were infesting the
city, and had been overheard at an
early hour to declare their intention
to attack and rob the Farmers bank
during the day. They meant to
rush into the bank at an opportune
time, overpowcr the officers of the
bank, dynamite the vault, rifle the
cash drawers and escape before there
was an opportunity to be arrested.
The conversation among them was
hastily but quickly tipped off to
Chief of Police Richard Scott and
he quickly got the police machinery
into action. Almost the entire po-
lice force was Immediately station
cd in close proximity to the banks,
and the services of Sheriff Flanagan
and his three deputies were enlisted,
and all patrolled the streets around
the banks, and especially the Farm
ers throughout the day, closely scrut-
inizing every stranger.
There we're at least three members
of the gang, all seen together at an
early hour in one of the saloon sec
tions Of the city, and one is known
TO have lefton the 6:2O o'clock train
for Wheeling, but for what purpose
only his band of despcradoes and
outlaws know. He is known by the
police and has bad criminal record,
having just finished seven years
Term in states prison for bank burg
larry.
Although closest vigilance was tb-
served and a number Of suspicious
looking characters were under sur
yeillance, nothing had happened
nu TO press hour to cause
the officers to take action, ex-
eept that Deputy Sheriff John NJ.
Knox got his eye on two fellows,
who quickly disappeared from the
rear Of a store as he approached
them, and were not seen again.
The strictest watch will be kept
np throughout the night with the
determination to give the banks the
best of protection AID to capture the
outlaws.

think of harming his brother, ex-
cept when full of coke, but as he is
addicted to this habit Mixes life IS
not safe when he is at liberty, hence
he was sent to Jail.
almost without exception the
criminal cases and a good majority
OF the civil cases brought before me
can be attributed directly to the use
of dope in some form OF other,p said
the Squire. "This city is suffering
