ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.

klngwood had another sensa.
tional elopement last week, making
the third in the last two weeks.
This time it was a married man and
another cook, the parties being
George Duval, who moved here
from Ohio several years ago, leay-
ing wife and two children over
there. 1t seems that he has not
lived with his wife for several years
and it ls said that she is in an asy-
lum over there. The woman in the
case this time is Ruth Watson who
came here from North Carolina
several years ago and has been
domestic in the family of Hon. P.J.
Crogan, the past year. She has a
married sister, named Rosa Neal,
who lives out at Bretz and her hus-
band Ga colored man)is miner,
Rosa is very light mulatto and
Ruth passes for white woman al.
though she has colored blood in her
veins. She also has a child five or
six years old that is kept by her sis
ter Mrs. Neal. Last Thursday she
left here telling Mrs. Crogan she
was going out 10 Brett to see her
sister and child. But she left on the
West Va. Northern for Tunnelton
and Duyal went with her and at
Tunnelton purchased the tickets for
both for Oakland and they went on
TO that place and were married at
5 O'Clock in the parlors of the
Schley Hotel That night between
nine and ten o'clock the bridegroom
left his bride. telling her he was go
ing down to get drink of water
and that is the last she saw of him.
She waited till eleven O'Clock for
him and then sent for the landlord
and told him her story. She says
that Duvall had been threatening
suicide and she was afraid he had
killed himself. The landlord Motif
ed the police and they searched for
him all night, but found no clue.
AS No. fast train west was due
little after he left the hotel, he
evidently took this train back to
Ohio. Next day the hotel man
called up Mr.. Crogan here on the
phone and notified him that his
cook was their stranded and wanted
to come back. Before leaving here
she has asked for some money and
been paid S., but had given her
pocket book to Duval to carry for
her and he had carried that away
with him, without thinking about it
evidently, as she received her
pocket book and money through the
mails here on Saturday mailed at
Wheeling. The landlord furnished
her money to get home on and she
came back sadder and wiser. The
conduct of Duval is Incompetent
sible to his friends here, unless his
mind is affected as is generally
beliyed

noisy welcome from large number
of residents who gathered at the
temporary station which has been
erected until a permanent one can
be located. A mighty cheer arose
as the train pulled in but this was
about the extent Of the demonstra-
ton. There is to be, however, a
suitable celebration in Kingwood on
March 18th, the same date as the
good roads convention. Addresses

road, and !. Ami Martin who has
been interested in the road ever
since It's beginning.

Through Summer Days.
BY JANIS BnAlsKRD NoRooN.

I've walked with thee through summer days
or shining hours. all sweet and long:
Amid earth's fair and pleasant ways.
Fer bright with roses and birds song
According TO times dial face.
Our summer time should now be DER:
We must have loitered in our pace.
The sun still shineth as OF yore.
When autumn days are drawing near
They say the air becometh chill;
We have not found II so. my dear,
Fair summers warmth is with us still
No touch OF frost loves roses know.
The birds still sing along our way.
And In our hearts yet shines the glow
or our LIES long sweet summer day.

FROM FAR AND NEAR.

FROM FAR AND NEAR.
The Yo'lDw Jacket claims to
have a big circulation and we be-
lieve It. In fact there is no reason
why it should not circulate far and
near, as the price is only IS cents
per year and they offer great in
ducements for clubs and send out
sample copies to every address they
get hold of and 10 anyone who will
take it out of the office. Recently
THE ARGUS read the riot act to
this Observation-Disclosures
Of journalism and the "Yaller"
Jacket in an unguardcd moment
published what we said. Every
since we have been receiving letters
and cards IN every mail from half
of the states in the Union asking
for copies of The Argus. Here is
sample of these letters;
K. r., No. IA, Llttles, Indiana,

copies of your paper. / noticed in

had gwen The Yellow Jacket a

Yours truly,
A. J. LovELEss.
Similar applications have been
received from Kossuth, Mississippi,
Coolport, Pa, and Elkhart, Ind.
Then for a change another letter
comes along as follows:
Wallace, Mo-, Feb. 2S, o6.

Kingwood, w. Va.

culatng the Yellow Jacket here.

Other letters are from East Bern
stadt Kentucky; Norwalk, Iowa;
Woodstock, Georgia; Vendoe,
Arkansas; haywood, Virginia;
Somerville, Tennessee; Gainesville,
Florida; Henderson, Tennessee,
and Harvey, Arkansas. Then, along
comes letter like the following

Even the Indian Territory gets
the pesky little Yellow Jacket, and
has people who want to read a
paper that has sand enough. or
little sense enough to tackle such

all examine it closely as the revival

now to the current condition of pub

to THE ARGUS because he recognizes
that this paper is one of the few,
that is not biased or controlled
