In Supreme Court.

Mr. Chief Justice Hill yester- day delivered the opinion of the court in the case of J o. A. Bush and Mary A. Smith against the Prescott and Northwestern Rail way Company.
 This is a continuation of d case that has been here before. The court finds that a preponderance of the testimony shows that the railroad had knowledge that MT. Bush had unsettled attorneys fee in the claim which was settled but the evidence is not sufici ent to show that the railroad partici- pated in the fraudulent settle ment of the plaintiffs claim. The result of these views are that the judgment was reversed as to Bush and affirmed as to Mrs. Smith.
 The meaning of this decision is that MT. Bush is entitled to his fee in the case, the amount prob ably to be determined by a. court of equity

COMIC PICTURES

Pathe Passion Play Comes

The funniest and best lot of up
to-date moving pictures ever seen in
Clarksburg are now being shown at

theatre on Pike and Main streets,
atnd iuhe singing BY Miss Doohttle is
the best ever heard in @Clarksburg.
Do not forget the great Pathe Pas
sion Play July 4, and g. This
picture is said to he the finest out,
there are thirty-fve hundred feet of
new film and in order to-run it all
OF it will require two changes of
reels and during intermissions the
operator win run some very hand
some sacred slides. which have been

Increased Cost Of Timber.

throughout the country the value
Of log stumpage Is increasing. The
average value per thousand feet,
board measure. for the United States
increased from $21s in 1900 to
$3.50 in 1905, a rise OF Al cents, or
1873 per cent. This advance in the
cost OF stumpage added $11, 472,115
10 the total cost OF sa#niil material
and increased the value of lumber
proportionateiy. The increase is due
not SO much to present shortage in
the supply of lumber material in the
country as a whole as to the fact
that the available supply OF log
stumpage is rapidly being bought up
and withdrawn from the market.
The conditions in certain of the
States are noteworthy. In Maine,
New Hampshire and New York the
great demand for spruce to be used
as a raw material in the wood pulp
industry has CAUSED an increase in
stumpage values far above the aver
age increase reported for the country
as d whole. In Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, where little merchantable tim
Der remains, the rise in stumpage
values is due directly to the grow
ing scarcity of sawmill material for
immediate use. In Kentucky and
Tennessee. where the supply is still
relatively large, the sharp advances
are due in large part to extensive
buying for future use. On the Paci-
fic slope is to be found the cheapest
high-grade stumpage in the country,
though the values in this region show
substantial increases over 1900.
Practically all species of mer-
charitable timber have increased in
stumpage value. Yellow pine, which
was the species most used at both
censuses. increased in value per
thousand board feet from Slip to
$16S. White pine increased from
1885 to S4.62: Dogulas fir, the chief
species converted into lumber in the
states of Washington and oregon.
from a cents to $1.O5: hemlock,
from $2.56 to 1851; oak from So
to $3.50; spruce. from $2.26 to
1910; and cypress, from $1.5S to
$342. Redwood, found only in
California. advanced in value from
$1.O6 to $155, or 49, per cent.

Punish Desertion.

The desertion of wife and children
ought to be regarded more seriously
in West Virginia than the law now
regards it. The punishment in Penn
sylvania is quite severe but not too
much so. In that state it is such a
crime as causes minions of the law
to obtain acquisitions for fugitives
from justice. take them back to the
scene of desertion and have them
imprisoned for a term of years. In
this state desertion is mere INSIDE
meanor in the eyes of the law and
the punishment is slight, sentence
not exceeding six months but to
some extent in the discretion of the
magistrate.
But recently in Clarksburg a man
named Blake deserted his family.
The older daughter was down with
typhoid fever and the younger could
get no employment. Even if she
had succeeded in getting such it
would have been such that the
compensation would not have sup
ported the family, paid the rent and
met the doctor bills. The afflicted
family waited for his return but he
came not Nor did they hear any
thing from him. He cruelly passed
out of their lives and left them to
their own fate.
The family received some help
from neighbors and friends. FL
nally, they sold ali they possessed to
pay OFF their debts, so far as the
proceeds went, and then left here for
Parkersburg. where relatives reside,
hoping to be aided in a way that

would start them again in life and a
degree Of happiness at least, with
husband and father gone-no one
knows where.
Such laws as they have in Penn
syIrania might have deferred the
man from deserving his family, and
slch laws would certainly have pur-
Gued him and brought him to his
proper punishment.

question and enact effective laws on
