Miss Marie Wright, a domestic In
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w G. os-
born: OF West Main street. took sud
den leave about o'clock Sunday
evening, with several articles of
wearing apparel belonging to Mrs
Osborn. Her departure and the theft
were discovered shortly afterward-
She had told a domestic in a neigh
boring family that she was going to
Parkersburg to visit a sister. and
Mr.. Osborn Immediately enlisted the
services of Policeman Simms. Iu-
dufry at the depot that evening fail
ed to show that she had purchased
ticket FOR Parkersburg. but later at
night it was ascertained that she had
bought ticket for Lumberport. AS
there was no train out at night for
that point, she remained until morn
ing. Mr.. Osborn and Policeman
stmms were there bright and early
to intercept her. They inspected the
interior of the train carefully, but
failed to find her. Mr.. Osborn again
went through the train two minutes
before it started and spied her. He
hastily called Policeman Simms.
They boarded the train and took her
or at Adamston.

Gas Explosion.

A gas explosion occurred at the
home of r. NJ Grimm. an employe at
the tin plate mills. Sunday in the
tin plate mills addition to the city,
during the absence of the occupants
of the house 1t was first reported
the house had been blown down an
embankment. but investigation prov
ed that to be Incorrect. Some parts
of the house were wrecked and some
bed clothing and other articles were
burned. eThe house was threatened,
but timely discovery of the fire by
men at the mills saved it.
The explosion was caused by de-
fectve hose connection.

Does 1t SIyIy.

The theft was most artfully COM
mftted. Mrs. Osborn was indispos-
ed. The girl took advantage of this
and apparently busted herself at
something else. while she was getting
the stolen articles together. in order
not to arouse suspicion, and left
without informing any one at the
house that she was going away. The
theft was doubtless premeditated as
she had packed part of her belong
ings the day before. All the stolen
articles were packed with hers in a
suit case. except the hat, which she
carried in a paper bag. With this
by her side in the car it was easy TO
convince her that she was suspected
Of the theft and she did not protest
against the surrender of the stolen
articles.

Confesses the Theft.

: She confessed to the theft after
they had found her with a fine black
hat, silk skirt, another skirt and
one or two other articles belonging
to Mrs. Osborn. She surrendered
these without protest. expressing sor-
row that she had taken them and
informing Mr.. Osborn and the police
man that it was the first time she
had ever stolen any thing. Mrs: os-
born not desiring to. prosecute her,
the oficer released her after she had
surrendered the articles of wearing
apparel.
Miss Wright came from Wallace a
week ago last Saturday night to en-
ter the home of Mr.. Osborn as
domestic. Nothing is known of her
former history. She seemed to be
trustworthy girl and the theft was
revelation to Mrs. Osborn.

. SCRANTON, Pa Nov. 12-Thomas
Dougherty, a prominent young man Of
Dunmore, died in the hospital here as
the result of being stabbed by an I'M
known woman Saturday night. Dough-
erty died without making any state
ment as to the person who caused the
fatal injury, but ntImated 1t was a
woman and that he was to blame,
In his brief statement Dougherty de-
clared he was visiting a woman and
that In a dispute she stabbed him with
a hatpin. He refused to tell where he
had spent the evening, or to give the
hospital attendants any details as. to
the manner in which he sustained the
injury. The postmortem revealed
Dougherty had been stabbed with
some fine instrument, such as a hat
pin, and that it had entered his heart.
K 1t Is surmised the wounds were In.
.flicted by some woman in defending
herself from an attack. and Dougherty
realizing he was entirely to blame, re-
fused to divulge the name Of the girl,
The police are unable to discover any
trace of his whereabouts prior to the

arrest of Mary Burke on whom Dough.

Roosevelt's Pledge
Called Inviolable
ELLIS H. ROBERTS SAYS ONLY
!. sLANDERERs PREDICT AN.
OTHER TERM-PARTY
RICH IN CANDIDATES.

UTICh, N. Y. Nov. 12-Ellis Fl.
Roberts, exUnited States Treasurer,
gave out statement for publication
today opposing another term for Pres
ldent Roosevelt.
"ltooseyelts promise" said Mr..
Roberts. "was as fundamental as the
Declaration of independence and as
rnrerealable, Washington, in the full.
ness Of his fame, taught the lesson
that to lay down Executive authority
is its noblest exercise. If he had
yielded TO 0attnrcrs to continue as
President. thea. as now, sophists
could he found to argue that he ought
to hold the place, not for third term
only. but so long as his increasing ex'
perIeEce was wanted. The politicians
who crowded Gen. Grant into becom-
ing candidate for third term In
flicted great wrong upon his repu-
tation. They were more intent on
keeping thei: own grip on the party
reins tnan On promoting his honor.
More than once the cry has gone
up that no President should ever be
reelected at all. The rule-unwrltten,
but absolute and unswerving-has
back of 1t in different ways the EXAM
plies Of Washington and Grant, that be-
yond two terms the Presidency will
be instructed to no mortal hands.
1.-THE pretext that Mr.. Bryan looms
up as monstrous portent Of evil is
fatuous. As a Presidential possibill-
ty he belongs to the past, and not the
future. The novelty about him is
worn out; the radical Democrats have
left him for Hearst, while he always
was stumbling block to the conser-
vatives. If Bryan, by hook or crook.
should seize the Democratic nomlna-
ton, as is less likely than 1t was six
months ago, the Presidential canvass
will be triangular, or will have even
more than three angles.
This is not one-man country and
the Republican party is not one.mnn
party. The Republican party lost
Lincoln and Grant. and did not die. It
mourned the assassination of Garfield
ana Mckinley, and went on with its
work. It is rich now in favorite sons,
Every part Of the Union can furnish

banks and Cannon and Foraker and
Shaw have been talked about. Cali
fornia could offer Victor H. Metcalt,
with good record in Congress and
the Cabinet. Secretary Taft and Elihu
Root have given proof Of sagacity and
ability in executive tasks such as no
other men have shown in advance OF
formal candidacy for National office
in modern times. Charles E. Hughes,
by election as Governor after q con-
test which drew the eyes of all men,
is raised up on the shoulders of the
Empire State,
mo pretext, no. plea can excuse the
violation of a pledge to be true to a
safeguard Of liberty. whoever pre-
diets that Mr.. Roosevelt will break
his pledge SANDERS him."

Much interest is being shown con.
corning the new fair association being
formed. 1t seems to be the universal
sentiment that Fairmunt onght to have
a fair. The progressive farmers are
very enthusiastic over 1t and say 1t
ought to be a great success and they
are eager to see 1t materiallze. Many
of them have already asked for stock
without being solicited, Others have
been asked to subscribe for two shares
and have taken five and ten. They
have a personal interest in it as they
know that 1t means much to the agri-
cultural and stock raising interests Of
the country.
The following letter from one Of
Marion county's most progressive
farmers and stocEmeq shows what he
thinks OF the fair forNFairmont:
There is no reason why Marion
county should not have one OF the
strongest Fair Associations in this
State. Our county ranks one of the
foremost in wealth and population Of
the counties of the State. 1t is one Of
the most prominent counties indus
.trially. 1t seems to me that it is ex-
pected of our county to have good
Fair Ground. With out one exception
the counties surrounding Marion have
nothing of the kind. The site on
which the race track and fair grounl
