Pittsburg Capital Pour
ing Into State.
Meny Millions to be Invested in
West Virginia Coal and Timber.

Meny Millions to be Invested in
West Virginia Coal and Timber.
More Pittsburg capital is year
ly entering West Virginia coal
fields for development of that ter
ritory. There is more than or
dinary significance in this and
coal men in Western Pennsylva-
MIA are watching developments
with keen interest, says the Pitts
burg Post.
The secret of this movement In
to West Virginia territory by
Pennsylvania is that the mine
conditions OF that state are more
favorable in the way OF labor.
Unions have little hold there, in
spite of repeated efforts to get a
footing. Coal men feel certain
security in having mining opera
tions1in the state for this reason
and are able to take advantage of
any stoppage of businss in Penn
sylvania or Ohio. In addition to
this, the West Virginia rate to
the lakes has been favorable and
advantageous to those mines and
against the Pittsburg district,
while seaboard shipment are also
favorable.
1t is stated that within the past
two years over two scores of Pa.
lumber companies that have clear
ed timber lands of this state have
entered West Virginia and have
begun the development of the
vast timber tracts there. The new
Coal and Iron Railroad is dotted
its entire length with these enter
prises. West Virginia spruce has
been gradually coming into Pitts
burg markets in larger quantities
until it now is supplanting white
pine and hemlock in many in
stances and at a much lower cost.
Immense quantities of poplar are
also being cut for this market.
It's said now by leading lum-
Der men of Pittsburg that when
the p ans of the Goulds are COM
pleted throughout West Virginia
and the seaboard line is in opera
ton from Pittsburg and Wheel
ing to Baltimore, the develop
ment of these two industries. lum-
Der and coal, will become much
more rapid and will involve the
investment of millions of dollars
in new enterprises.

Facts About
Our Treasury.
Little Generally Known of This Inn
portant Department.

portant Department.
The Treasury Department is
the most important branch of the
Government next to the State
Department. 1t is the fiscal agen-
cy OF the people. At its head is
the Secretary of the Treasury,
who, for a salary of S22 day, is
responsible for the collection and
disbursing of a million and halt
of dollars every day in the year,
and for the custody all the time
osmore than billion dollars in
cash and bonds. The various sec
retaries of the last 40 years have
handled. altogether the incompre-
hensible sum of S45, 10000 900.
What is more, during all that
time less than a quarter of mil
lion dollars were lost in the
Treasury Department.
During any one week of the
present year the Treasury officials
expended more than was requir-
ed to maintain the entire public
service for the whole year of 1905.
The money collected by the
Treasury last year, in round fig
ures, was $54O,OOO,OOO. The to-
tai amount expended in the same
twelve month was $4,000, 900.
We spent thus $42.OOO,OOO more
than we took in; bnt full S4O,OOO,-
900 of the excess in expenditure
over revenue is. accounted for in
the single check given in pay
ment for the Panama canal prop
erty.
The biggest bill collected by
the Treasury was $261, 100000
for customs; the second largest
bill collected was 1922, 900, 900
for internal revenue;then $9,0OO,-
600 was taken in for the sale OF
public lands, and $37, 100000 for
various small matters. The larg-
est bill paid in the same time was
SI42, 100000 for pensions; then
Sis, 100000 for our army and
$1O2,OOO,OOO for our navy. To
Indians there was paid a little
matter of $40, 100000, and for the
interest on the public debt $25-
100000. Finally the Treasury
expended $780, 100000 for mere
miscellaneous stems" If we
count all the dollars paid out by
the Treasury since Mr. Roosevelt
entered the White House we find
that the sum of all money in the
country at the present tlme-or
about $2Ooo.Ooo.OOo.

81 Lone1y L1tt1e Grave
(In Lone Oak Cemetsry.)

In village graveyard,
In a lonely spot,
Where the earth is brown and bare
And grass blades springeth not
Where trees or bushes
Cast welcome shade,
For many year in little grave
A tiny form was laid
Bird-songs heard in the distance
Sound most sweetly here,
For not shrub of meanest kind
Where bird could perch,
And all there's for tombstone
Is a whitened little board,
And all the text it family bears
Is three little painted words
Thellittle head board, painted white -
With its lower end cut off wedge shape
So that the point could s'eadfastIy be
Driven in the ground hke stakez
Bore ON It's bleaching surface
In letters of fitting size
Three little struggling, crooked words
Some mother-heart must prize.
They spoke of a careful attending hand,
That was perhaps now far away
That longed for this spot day by day
They seemed to speak of a home left bare,
OF heart left and sad,
OF poverty's most dire distress
But little soul made glad!
Poor pitiful little grave
And pathetic inscription, where
1t tells eyes of sympathy
That "LiTTeL TOMMY PiTCHer" lies there
The birds may day sing the spot,
But the butterflies float through the air;
And the winds softly whisper, day in, day out,
While Little Tommy Pitcher lies there

Wanted His Ghost
to be His Executor

Confident that he would return
after death, as spirit, and con-
troll the management ofhis prop
erty, George Deftenbaugh, of Ko-
komo, Ind, named himself as
executor of his SIS. 900 estate, the
will being filed last Saturday.
Defenbaugh thought that all the
property he owned at death
would be under his absolute con-
troll through all eternity. He left
his family life interest in the es-
tate, which ultimately goes to the
Swendenborgians, the tenets OF
whose faith he held, in SO far as
they comported with his more ad-
vanced notions. He declared that
his spirit had been especially en-
dowed by God with the power in
dicated in his will.

Went to Death
Instead of Alter

With his marriage license in
pocket, which he had just secur-
ed in anticipation of his wedding
on Monday to the girl of his
choice, Lewis Dempsey, of near
Nolan, in Mingo county, was run
down and killed by Norfolk &
Western train No. 8 Sunday
night. Dempsey had been at
Williamson and secured the IL
cense. There being no train out
of that place when he was ready
to go home he started to walk
the distance. Tired out by his
days work, it is presumed hesat
down to rest on the track and fell
asleep.
When hit by the train he was
hurled a distance of Is feet and
was terribly crushed about the
face and body. Travelling men
on the train say he was taken to
Naugatuck. He died at that
place before the train reached
Kenova.

A MILLIONAIRE
MURDERER.

A millionaire is in the New
York Tombs fer murder. You
have read the. story. 1t tells a
tale of brutality and vengeance
that is intolerable to an enlight-
ened intelligence. The right of
one man to kill another is of the
narrowest circumscription. 1t is
not justified by malice and the
law Furnishes when it is so des-
cribed.
The circumstances surrounding
the killing of Stanford White by
Harry Thaw, as reported by the
papers through the press dispatch
es, gave no warrant for the tax
ing of life. "You have ruined
my wife" affords a certain agony
of heart to sympathetic beings,
but it will scarcely stand the strain
of analysis. No man is capable
of running the wife of another
man if the spirit of wife and hus-
band reigns in the home. And
when snch spirit is absent the
process of ruination has been di-
rected from some other source to
quite another end. Had the wife
OF Thaw been receptive to the ad-
dresses of other than her husband,
lay the blame where it properly
belongs. She, at least. did not
stand to be ruined except with
full consciousness of the measure
of the deed. And had there been
more of the spirit of wife and less
of the spirit of adventure in her
nature, her ruination by anyone
would have been wholly imposs-
ible.
The reliefthat millionaire Thaw
needed could have been obtained
by processes of law. He could
not have devoted his life, his
love to his wife without at
least having in return her suffi-
cient respect. And if that was
shortcoming his end would have
been properly and more comfor-
tably met by legal separation.
Thaw is, according to all evi-
dence SO far shown, a murderer,
pure and simple, and unless his
act can be more explicitly exten-
uated than has so far been done,
should be punished accordingly.

In the Cuban markets.
The probable attitude OF the sugar
trust toward the tariff the next time
the question comes up In general leg
islation is not yet clear. 1t has hereto
fore preferred low tariff on the raw
material and good differential on the
refined sugar. but Its large interest In
the beet factories through the West,
would seemingly ally 1t with the beet
growers, who want all the tariff they
can get to compete against the sup
posedly cheap labor OF the tropics and
more effective work OF tropical sun.
The labor question. in fact, Ia inti-
mately related to the whole sugar prob
Lem. The chief trouble in getting labor
In Cuba today is that wages are rela-
lively so high that the West Indian
negroes and native Cubans do not have
to work so many days In the week to
get living as they once did. They
have a deep-seated prejudice against
in their work. The Hawaiian Islands
are clamorous for the admission OF
Chinese, upon whose faithful work at
try seems to depend.
When the tariff is again revised, \
whether 1t happens in this adninis-
tration, as President Roosevelt would
at heart like, or a century or two
few schedules will provoke more Wig
orous controversy than that dealing
with sugar. The Cuban interests
would be perfectly willing to have the
Philippine product come into this coun-
try free. II the general sugar duty
could be reduced to approximately half
its present figure. but on the existing
schedule, even with their twenty per
cent. concession from 1t. there remains
taric barrier which might make the
free entTy of Philippine products here
a damaging competitor to Cuba. Eco
nomic distress might provoke a political
crisig,
Sugar has been In the past one of the
greatest sources of Federal revenue,
reaching sixty million dollars a year.
But all annexations of tropical terri
tory. and all developments OF the beet
industry ut home. and even concessions
like that to Cuba. desirable as these
all may be. detract obviously from the
receipts on this score. As
long as 1t Is necessary to go outside for
any sugar. paying full Dingley rates on
IT, the charge to the consuming public
will have to be adjusted to that basis.
This suggests still another party in in
Lerest to the long-lived sugar contro-
yersy.

Sugars Unstable Equilibrium.

Boston Transcript.

The figures of America IS enormous
sugar consumption have now reached a
significant stage. Forty,two per cent of
the total is now of domestic supply,
made up of the four great items of
the Hawaiian, the Porto Rican, the
Louisiana and Texas cane, and our
widely scattered Western beet fields.
These sugars obviously reach the con-
sumers without the payment Of any
duty. Cuba, which pays eighty per
cent of Dingley rates, now produces
forty.two per cent more of our total,
and the rest of the world, which pays
the full duty, furnishes the remaining
sixteen per cent. This element of our
production is rapidly dwindling, and
before many years will drop out alto
gether, leaving the competition for our
markets between Cuba and the vari-
Gus domestic sources, and with the lat
