Grewsome Find
In the Hills

A gruesome discovery was
male IN the hills two miles south
of Buck, Summers county, this
state, last Saturday by a construc-
ton crew putting through a mar
row gauge railroad tapping big
timber tract. While cutting
through a knoll on which were
the ruins of an old cabin erected
shortly after the civil war four
skeletons were dug up. Exam
ination revealed that the persons
had been murdered, the skulls of
every one being beaten in. An
old rusty knife with the handle
rotted away was found among
the ribs of one. There is no clue
to their identity. They were re-
inferred nearby.

He Getting His.

Fate has evidently provided
we'll for Moses w. Donnally, the
former Charleston newspaper
man since he quit the ?ournalis-
tic field that it would have re-
mained for the man behind the
qnill pusher for the Capital City
papers which he has owned in his
career as business man.
Mr.. Donnally has been meeting
with considerable success since
he launched in the oil field pro-
jects and the news comes now
from Wellsburg, that near that
city, the Charlestonian has struck
it rich in the new field there. He
is said to have a one hundred and
seventy-tive five barrel producer
and that's a pretty good sized
well when it produces the West
Virginia brand of the oleaginous
fluid.

We Love Bryan.
Because He is Great

He is here. Who2 William
Jennings Bryan, a man who waf
first called "the peerless half in
derision. but man who has
grown SO steadily with his party
and with his people that to-day
those who once considered his
name an anthema are vieing with
each other to do him honor.
The Morning Telegraph doesn't
proposeto discuss Mr.. Bryan's po7
litical status or to write anything
of an essay upon the standards. !"
What we do call attention to is
the fact that the American peo-
pie, at the bottom, admire co1r-
age, they revere honesty, ths3
like man who has bravery of
his convictions.
William jennings Bryan may
never be President of the United
States, but he will gointo history
as an individual who didn't need
the Presidency to make him
great.
The ovation of last night, the
general celebration of to-day, lis no
tribute to Bryan; it is a tribute to
honesty, a tribute to singleness of
purpose. All the world loves an
honest man, and Mr.. Bryan has
proved that he is man whose
convictions are his creed. 1t may
be nothing for US to be proud of
in this land of the free and the
home oe the brave, but we are
compelled to admit that Bryan is
a man after our own heart, main
ly, If not altogether, because we
know him to be on the square

The court being at liberty to
treat these three roads az part Of
the B. & o r. system and tovaluo
them for taxation as parts Of the
B. d O R. system. which one of
the four methods of ascs1taininR

If the values the court is to fix at
this time should remain az fixed
for long period, the court might
not be disposed to adopt the meth
cd of oapitalizing the net profits,
but as these properties are to be
valued again next year for the pnr-
poses of taxation. the court is OF
opinion that the method of oapi.
talizing the. net profits is the best,
and it is adopted.
The net profits of that part of
the road system of roads, operated
by the B. & o. r. Co. which are in
this state, are as reported by the
Company. $5.494. .O94 20. If this

works fixed the total value of the
Companies property in this state

that if our method of arriving at
the value of the Companies pro-
perty be correct. the valuation fixed
by the Board of Public Works is
not too high. and there being no
evidence before the court to show
that the apportionment made by
the Board of the aggregate. fixed
by it, will in any way prejudice the
company, the action of the board
is confirmed

Honesty Best,

tramp came to village where
lived a Catholic priest who was
known to keep a good table.

out that we are Protestants. 1
shall tell him I'm Catholic"
"Do- as you please" replied the
other. 81 shall tell the truth"
They knocked at the clergy
mans door and asked for relief.
His reverence asked them,
among other things, what con-
fession they belonged to, and
they replied as previously agreed.
Then he bade them wait and
went back into the house, return
ing soon afterward with a couple
ofplates, on one of which was
roast duck and on the other a lit.

"Friend," he said, addressing
the Catholic, "as it is fast day, 1

but, as for you," he said, turning
to the other, "being a hereto, you
care nothing for fast days and

better treatment than this and reproduce in its entire

How much would it, could know
That when am under the grass snow,
The raveled garments of life's brief day
Folded and quietly laid away:
The spirit let loose from mortal bars
And somewhere away among the stars;
How much do you think it would matter then,
What praise was lavished upon me, when, - m
What ever might be its stint store
It neither could help harm more?
If midst toll, they had but thought
To stretch a finger, would have caught
Gladly such aid, to bear through
Some bitter duty had to do;
And when it was done had but heard
One breath of applause, cheering word
One cry of "Courage" amid the strife.
So weighted for with death life
How would it have nerved my soul to strain
Through the whirl of the coming surge again!
What use for the rope, if it be not flung
Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has clung?
What help in a comrades bugle blast
When the peril of Alpine heights past?
What need that the squirting pean roll
When the runner is beyond the goal?
What worth is euogy's blandest breath
Then whispered in that hushed in death?
No! No! if you have but word of cheer
Speak it while am alive to hear
