Jack Kelly, aged so years, committed
suicide about o'clock yesterday of.
ternoon at Minnie. which is small
village about Ave miles east of here

Line railroad. He was found dead in
his room at his boarding house short.
ly after the affair occurred by the mis-.
tress Of the house. The blood-stained
knife with which he severed his jug.
gler vein was lying close beside him.
The motive for the mans action in
taking his own life is unknown.
Very little Is known OF the deceased
mans career except that hei s Of Irish
birth and that he came here as a mas.

of the West Virginia Short Line and
had charge of gang OF workmen dur.

Since that time he has been living a
sort of retired life at Minnie and
boarding with Mrs. Rebecca Wright.
There seems to be deep mystery

boarding mistress, that for the past

/ "The New Dominion has frequently
and repeatedly pointed out the false
ness of a prosperity which comes only
from the mining or marketing of a
natural product. West Virginia is es.
peciaiiy sufferer In this matter. Our
coal furnishes employment for thous,
ands Of men in other States, our gas
contributes to the manufacturing pros,
perity and domestic happiness of all
thu surrounding States. Our forests
are mutilatei to serve our neighbors,
and we get but the result of the pro,
duction. In addition to this, in the
great seemingly endless supply OF
these products we forget economy and
deliberately invite the fate OF reck.
less spendthrifts. 1t would appear to
be the part of wisdom to utilize these
products or part OF them at least ana
build up our State to It's rightful place
in the manufacturing column. New

are gone, what will West Virginia
have?
We may pass all the laws which the
constitution will permit, but our oil,
gas and coal will go. The time will
come when none will remain in this
State. The coal will last along time,
but thee and gas will not.
West Virginia will still be immense.

are gone, II we are wise enough to
make use OF what else we have. This
State Is adapted to two great indus.

one.half the surface Of the State is

forests will DO as well But the farms
and the forests must be cared for. For.
ests must be preserved, planted. and
husbanded. If this is done there can
be twice as much timber in West vir
ginia in five hundred years from now
as there is to-day-probably four times
as much. The farms, II cared for
watered, fortified and titled, will be
worth probably four times as much as
now. By that time the gas. coal and
oil will be gone forever. or SO scarce
that they will no longer figure in com

that our permanent wealth is in ouI
