Charleston. W. Va, May 1.-THE
past week must be classed among
the big ones in the issuing of char
tiers in this state There was an
average OF over eight a day that
reached the six figure mark IN dol
lars. The repeal Of a section of the
old charter granting law that requir-
ed certain corporations to file their
charters in Kanaw,.a county is be
lieved to have created a feeling OF
greater fairness to foreign corpora
tions that did not exist in som
sections heretofore and will have
some effect on the humber that will
be issued during this year, and what
was lost by the repeal of that par
ticular section will be made up in
the total number to be issued and the
the amounts thereof.
The amount of printing and labor
necessary to getting out the Su-
premer Court Records and keeping
up>"ith the decisions as fast as they
'are handed down has been no small
item according TO the showing OF
Printing Clerk Foster to the Attor.
n"y Generals department The four
years that General Freer was Attor-
ney General there were printed
eight volumes-47 to "a inclusive
In the little over two years that tn,
present Attorney General has been

been completed and that number is
now being bound by the printer and
81 is almost completed. This mum.
her will include a number of the
decisions handed down by the Su
preme Court of Appeals during ths
January term which in fact. Will
not end until about the goth OF TN,
present month. 1t is estimated that
the number OF decisions 10 be hand
ed down at this term will exceed
10. The above record gives some
idea OF the great increase in the
highest court of the state, and gives
some ground for the claim OF many
of the lawyers in the last Legislature
that the number of judges on tn,
supreme bench should be increased
or some other means found to les
sen the enormous increase of bust
ness going to this court.
The appointment of Col. John

ant general. is not the clerk OF the
state senate as many have been cir
culating Col. Illusions successor has
been in the adjutant generals Of
fee for some years and is familiar
with the work his new position calls
for. The Hutson trial which is set
for next week is seldom discussed
about the various departments and
there seems to be an impression that
the case will not come TO trial this
month at least on account of the lack
of time for the defense to get ready
after the investigating committee has
completed its work

cost OF the various state buildings.

things considered. il was the opinion
Of many leading men that the Capt.

nishings. aggregated 100000. was
the cheapest building the state had.

first sum appropriated for the build

The building on the inside now is as
near fire-proof as it is possible to
make it and will need no improve
ments in that respect for many years
Governor Dawson has given no in
'.mation who he will appoint TO sue

Hon. Fred stanton who resigned as
members OF the jamestown commits
sion from this statr, due TO friction
between the members over the au-

West Virginia building at the cN-

congressman from the upper end OF
the state. a well known politician
from the lower end, and Senator
Scott as a trio from which the gov.

 He leaped to the floor and plunged through the crowd and out of the door. a wild cheer greeting him as he went. And the men went with him. pulling guns and knives from their pockets. picking up stones and slaves as they went along. with Mul. len at their head We followed them.
 McDavitt's was ablaze with lights but not for long. As We approached the house. it suddenly became dark.
 Some one produced torch and fired the house. filled as it was with horror-stricken guests. The flames spread, curling up on all sides.
 Suddenly the changing of many bells was heard upon the night air. von Minden and I looked in the direc. ton from whence the sound came.

STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRIES.
lirishmen Claim to Have Seen the "LittIe People"

{, Here is modern fairy story from Ireland: One day about 20 years ago." writes correspondent, was fishing from boat on Lough Dorg. [ inquired of my boatmen if they had ever seen fairies. At first, fearing to be laughed at, they secuted the idea. but one of them told the following: On Sunday he was returning after mass. and stood with a friend. named Sullivan, on the bridge of Killaloe. Looking toward a potato field on the slope of the rising ground to the east of the town, field which he was able to point out from the boat, he saw issuing from the Hiss troop of little people, one being distinctly taller than the rest. At first they seemed rather blurred. then took distinct shapes and began to play the nation- al game of hurley among the bare po- tato rigs. He called Sullivan's atten. tion to them. but for some time his friend could not see them. then said he could. and they watched the game together for a time. Then the sun went in. and the fairies. moving to- ward the liss. as if returning to 1t. vanished. Lisses are rough pieces. sometimes hillocks. sometimes de pressions, often bushy, but never cul- tivated. have been told they are left as doorways for the fairies when visiting the earth's surface

 Its no use," I said to him, T cannot work tonight. And, anyway, I'm going to the strikers meeting l want you to come along, if you can"
 He sprang to his feet and opened the window. Look! Put your hand out here!' he exclaimed. I did so. When I drew 1t in, it was sprinkled with a few small specks of what re- sembled soft coal soot.
 Rub your hands together" said Won Minden. Now look at them" Where l had rubbed and where each speck had been there was small greasy smear of bright red color. l glanced up at him, inquiringly. What are these?" asked. He laughed . strange laugh.

As l glanced at it I leaped from my chair.

 Von Minden sprang to the window. The moon was full and large-and red as fire. That was not all. Tie whole town seemed to be on fire. A thick haze had settled down upon the housetops, and, like the moon, the haze was red as flame.
 Von Minden stood with outstretch. ed arm. Its come!" he exclaimed. "The great epidemic of lunacy has come" He pointed far ou. into the space beyond
 The strikers met that night in an old, abandoned skating ilnk--a large. rambling wooden structure. It was filled to overflowing.

ELLEN BOWERS DIES;
\ APPENDICITIS VICTIM
An Operation Fails to Bring Expected
Relief Funeral Will Be Held
Sunday Afternoon.

Ellen Bowers, the IL year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Bowers of the Town of Eckles,
died at St. Anthony's hospital, at
6:15 o'clock last evening, death
resulting from appendicitis, an
operation performed on Tuesday
for the removal of the appendis
being of no avail.
The little girl has always en-
joyed the best of health, and it
was not until last Sunday morn
ing that she evinced any signs
of being i'll. She was taken with
a vomiting spell during Sunday,
and that evening complained of a
pain in her side. Her condition
remained about the same until
late Monday, when the pain be-
came very acute, and on Tuesday
she was taken from her home to
St. Anthony's hospital in this
city, where an operation was per-
formed. The surgeon found
that the appendis had been eff:
fected for some time, and that
there would be small hope, if
any, of her recovery Mrs. Bow
ers and her daughters, Frances
and Anna, were with the little
sufferer at the hospital until she
passed to the great beyond.
The funeral services will be
held in the Catholic church room,
Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock,
and Rev. FIR. O'Dwyer will offci-
ate. The body will be inferred
in Greenwood cemetery.
Ellen Bowers was born at Tin.
tab, MIMI, March 9, 1898, and
came to Beltrami county with
her parents in 1898, when the
latter moved to their homestead,
in Section 13, Town of Eckles,
ten miles northwest of Bemidii,
where they still reside.
Ellen possessed very kindly
and loveable disposition. She
was what is often called an
'oldish-actlng" child and was the
"mother" Of the entire school of
little folks near her home. She
will be greatly missed by the
members of the Bowers family
and by her companions.

Knows Nothing About It.

Prof. Symington of Bemidji,
has applied for a position as di.
rector of the Grand Forks mill
tary band which is the successor
to the Grand Forks city band
and his application will be con-
sidered at the meeting Of the
band on next Monday evening"
Crookston Times.
Judging from the above, one
would be led to believe that Prof.
Thomas Symington, who has
been the leader of the Bemidji
band and orchestra during the
past year and half, had made
application to lead the "Forx"
band. The Pioneer interviewed
Mr.. Symington relative to the
matter, this forenoon, and that
gentleman said, in response to
inquiries:
II have never made an applica
ton to lead the band over there.
When the Elks met here, a month
ago, two Grand Forks men
talked to me concerning their
band and suggested that would
b. a good place for me, I made
no application at that time and
have made none since. In fact,
had forgotten all about the
