DAYS
ARE NAMED
BY State superintendent Thomas G.
Miller To Be Observed
In the State.

State superintendent Thomas C.
Miller has issued the following:
'.As was announced in the Insti-
tute Annual for 1906, the first Fri
! day of December will again be OBJ
served In the Public Schools of West
Virginia as Library Day This year
the first Friday falls on the seventh,
so that is the day designated for this
occasion. The number of schools OBJ
serving this day from year to year
IS steadily increasing and the inter-
est in this work is becoming more
general. As a result of this effort
last December over fifty thousand
books were put into our school IL
braries, and I hope the number may
be more than doubled this year.
TT will he recalled also that in
the annual it was suggested that "a
West Virginia Day be observed in
our schools. the purpose of which
shall be to study our history more
carefully and to learn more about
our material and educational prog
ress. The date for celebrating West
Virginia Day was fixed for Dec. 10,
because on that day in 1862 Con-
gress passed the bill which admitted
West Virginia to the sisterhood of
States.
The tenth of December will
this year be the Monday following
Library Day, it is further suggested
that the two occasions may very ap-
propriately be united in one exer-
else. both interesting and profitable.
on Friday, Dec. z.
II hope that these special OBJ
servances may awaken an interest
that shall be the means of bringing
a better class of literature to the
youth of the State. and also inspire
them with a desire to know more
about our rising young Common
wealth"

gested:

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 19-The
steamer Dix bound from Seattle to
Port Blakely, with its passengers.
sank near AIki Point last night after
having coIlided with the steamship
Jeanne, of the Alaska Coast Com
peny.
Forty-one passengers and the
members of the crew of the Dix were
drowned and thfrty-nine were saved
The Dix is total wreck. The
Jeanfe is not injured.
The collision was caused by mis-
understanding of signals. The DIX
was struck abaft mfdships on the
starboard side. The boat listed
heavily for a brief period, righted it
self and then sank stern first.
There was hardly time to launch
the life RATS before the boat was
almost entirely submerged.
Passengers jumped from the decks
into the water. Women screamed
while officers and men called orders.
The passengers from the Dix who
could swim made their way to the
sides of the Jeanne and were dragged
aboard
The jeanne was not moved until
after all who reached her had been
hauled aboard. Then she cruised
about picking up several who man
aged to stay above the water.

At HIS POLICEMEN
Because Some One Fooled Him Into

tion and stand Pat During
-. the Entire Ordeal.

Because some one over the tele-
phone fooled Mayor Harmer into
sending his policemen through tor
rents Of rain to make fruitless raid
von the Medsker home on West Lo-
Gust street Sunday night, he worked
himself up into a rage against the
policemen Monday forenoon and at
O'Clock in the afternoon, red as a
sugar beet In the face, he had Police
men Simms and White on the car
pet. Because they found no one
there to arrest and because he had
Fbeen trlcked by his informant, he
declared vengeance on the policemen
and threatened to officially decapi-
tate them then and there.
The odicers did not take kindly
to his manner toward them and
showed a commendable amount OF
.spunk under the circumstances. He
accused them of tipping the matter
on and as the result the girls had
made good their escape. before the
policemen arrived. They firmly de-
MED this and became justly indig-
nant at the accusation.
The mayor went so far as to de-
1nand of them to relate everything
they said to any one before the raid
was made They told him squarely
that they merely exchanged greet
dngs.
The declaration was made by the
mayor, when they first went on the
carpet, that he intended to suspend
them for ten days. but for good and
sufficient reasons he changed his
mind before they quit the carpet.
The policemen were not to blame.
that the mayor was fooled by some
of his pretended friends in sending
them on wild goose chase. He
really ought not even think of reek-
ing vengeance on them.
Again, he says he would not even

message, and would not know him.

licemen the name of the man that

the Medsker place. All things con-
sfdered it looks like it was a put-up
affair to cause friction in the city
government, or it may be 1T was Just
"A BLUM.
During the arrangement the police
demanded that the mayor name his
informants that they had tipped the
matter OF. but he refused to do so.
some of the policemen are of the
opinion that the News editors did IT
as they were there eager to see what
would be done. Perhaps, they have
Just had their ire aroused because
the people at the polls recently dis
credited their fake factory.
There seems to be no question
that some outside influence worked
on the mayor between the hour OF
police court and the time he had his
officers on the carpet, an influence
designed only for mischief and tur-
moiI.
