The railroads are seemingly having
an inning just now on the two cent
fare proposition. Judge Bnrdett says
the present law in West Virginia is
Unconstitutional. II it Is then the
Legislators viii nave to pass one that
is not unconstitutional. The masses
OF the people will be slow in belO vlng
that 1T is contlscation of property to
make the railroads carry ordinary
folks at the same rate the railroads
themselves have established for those
who can afford to buy mileage. In
our opinion the railroads have under.
taken a big job. If they think they
can go back to three, four and Ave
cents a mile without running afoIl OF
the indignation of the populace they
are nightly mistaken, The courts
will nave to keep pretty busy If they
beat the people very long.

BODY HANGING

MRS. ANDREW OLSEN MAKES
SHOCKING DISCOVERY WHEN
VICTIM BROODED

Climbing the stairs leading TO the
attic of her home. in search OF kind
ling. with which to start fire, Mon
day morning, Mrs. Andrew Olsen, No.
40 Amidst, came upon the body OF
her husband, dangling at the end or
a piece Of clothes line from a rafter.
Startled into Mysteries, the woman
gave vent to scream, then sank In IL
heap on the attic floor. Her cry, how
ever, had been heard by a married
daughter living across the street, who
came at once TO her relief. The
daughter too, was unnerved by what
she found, but managed To assist her
mother down stairs and then notified
Charles Rath, grocer, at Amidst. and
McDougall-ave. The latter, with the
assistance of Charles Ron, engineer
In the Norvell school, cut the body
down, and worked over IT In the hope
that there might still be spark OF
life. Their efforts were In vain, how
ever.
Mr.. Olsen was SO and carpenter
by trade. He had been out OF work
for the past nine months and had
brooded a great deal over the fact.
Several OF his children contributed
their earnings To the family support.
and this was sufficient for their needs
with what Mrs. Olsen brought in from
occasionally doing washing for neigh
bors
Mrs. Olsen went out, Monday morn

her husband sitting by the stove He
said he would go over to call on a
