That Jack Johnson, the dusky ex-
sponent Of the manly art will not
file. a suit against Mrs. II. e. Bartlett
of the orpheum hotel for $4,000 be-,
cause he was denied lodgings there, Is
quite certain for several good reasons
First, because he could not recover
$4,000 or any other sum for the al
legged Injuries he received. Second. ne
did not engage q room al the Orpheum.
Third, If he had any sort of case he
could not recover more than Tie
amount paid to the hotel for a room
and possibly hack fare. Fourth, johns
son said last evening: Its simply q
good adj
That's all there is to it.
johnson does not expect 100000 or
even 20 cents from Mrs. Bartlett, ex-
cept by way of Advertising, and of
course counsel bobs serenity into the
blimelight.
FACTS in THE CASE.
The facts Of the case are these: A
man associated With the management.
of the exhibltloa called at the Orpheuln
hotel and $cl sed from the house
Keeper rooms .or Jack Johnson and
party. The money was paid for the
rooms and a receipt taken for the same.
Upon the occasion of Johnson,s arrival
here, Mrs. Johnson. accompanied by a
white man, called at the hotel and they
We're given the keys to the rooms. They
We're followed by Jack Johnson. The
natural inference of the housekeeper
was that the white man who
engaged the rooms was Jack John
SON. She had no means Of
knowing the rooms were for a coll
ored man until the big pugllist appear
ed on the scene and then the truth
came out and johnson was informed
that the place did not cater to colored
people
RAISED NO TROUBLE.
When the white man engaged thet
rooms and paid for them, and got Il
receipt we did not know they We're for
a negro. :" said Mrs. Bartlett. when
the white man came for the keys and
was accompanied by a woman, we
and wife, and when colored man fol-
lowed them in we also naturally
thought he was their servant. To our.
surprise the colored man stated he was
Jack Johnson and then we Informed
him that we did not cater to colored
people ana could not entertain him.
Johnson was gentlemanly about 1t and
left without any trouble whatever.
Later, the man who engaged the
rooms called and we offered him the
money back. He said he did not have
the receipt with him but would get it
and then receive the money. We have
not seen him since"
BACK TO RUssELLs.
Before Johnson came here arrange
ments had been made with William
RUSSELL a we'll known local colored
man. for Johnson entertainment. For
some unknown reason the fighter and
his party did not ggo to Russell's until
after the Orpheum episode
The report was given out last night
that Johnson. through Atty. Soren x.
would file suit for $50. 900,
but up GA late hour this afternoon no
such suit had been filed, and therefore
no subpoena has been served upon
Mrs. Bartlett.

NEW COUNTY
WHAT! SPLIT UP GRAND OLD EAYETTE
COUNTY?

Fayetteville, w. Va, Sept. s.
Mt, Hope and Loop Creek people
have been talking the past few days
of scheme to form new county
with Mt. Hope as the county seat.
The plan is to slice off a couple of
districts from Raleigh and take in
Sewell, Mt. Hope and Quinnimont
districts with most of Fayetteville
district.
The question is being enthusiast
cally aGtated by the Mt. Hope prop
erty owners, but no steps have yet
been taken toward consummation of
the scheme.
Endless preliminaries are necessary
before new county can be formed.
A survey is the first thing to be made,
showing that the proposed county
will contain at least 400 square miles
and have population of 5000 peO-
pie. The people residing within the
limits of the proposed new county
must by three-ffths vote ratify the
change in boundry lines and then
the matter comes before the legisln-
ture for final action.
A division of the county would be
death blow to the town of Fayette-
vile, which could expect to no lon
ger remain the county seat of what
would be left of the old county.
Deepwater or Montgomery would be
made the capital ofthe short county.

She Got Her Holiday.

A bright girl in a large school
applied TO her teacher for leave to
be absent half a day on a plea that
her mother had received telegram
which stated that company was on
the way.
Its my fathers half sister and
her three boys" said the pupil anx-
iously, ''and mother doesn't see how
she can do without me, because
those boys always act so dreadful
""
The teacher referred her to the
printed list of reasons which justi-
fed absence and asked if her case
came under any Of them.
q think it might come under
this head, Miss Rules" said the
girl, pointing as she spoke to the
words Domestic Affection. "-Ex-

There will also be some hot weather,

disturbances will pass eastwardly over
most parts of the country. Rising
barometer and clearing, cooler wealth
er will follow this period for several
days.
A regular storm period is central
on the 10th. High temperature and
low barometer may be expected by
the 10th, and storms of notable
character will organize and take up
their eastward march. These condi-
tons will grow in magnitude and
force during the 11th and 18th and
possibly up to the 18th. If high bar

Immediately behind storms about the

A reactionary storm period is cen

A marked change to high barometer

Frosts in northern extreme should
not surprise.
A regular storm period is central
on the elst, the central day of the
autumnal equinox. This period may
bring prompt changes of temperature
and barometric pressure as early as
the 10Th in westenparts of the coun-
try. By the elst these conditions

conditions will prevail over most Sec

ORIGIN Of Word acoeknau.v

The old catch about the peacock
.(of my neighbor) who came into
my garden and laid an egg is recall
ed by the derivation of "cockney."
A cockney was originally a small
or malformed egg, which the ig-
norant were wont to imagine was
laid by the cock. From this it came
to be applied derisively to a child
sucked long, and hence to a milk
sop, whence it passed TO the towns

THE WORD ANKLE
It's Root Shown In Many words n
Many Different Tongues.

We are not likely to think that
ankle" and anchor. are closely
related, but etymoIogically they are
full sisters, having had the same
mother, and that mother has q
large family of daughters, who are
to be found in all of the branches
of the Aryan tongue. And neither
anchor nor ankle" has any rela-
ton to It's uses, bit entirely to its
form.
This mother Of tho two words
was born at least a hundred cen
turies ago in some place likely not
far from the north shore Of the
Caspian sea. when the roots of the
Aryan language were planted ana
began to put forth shoots. When
that people began to lay the foun-
dations of dozen tongues they
found a little word the sound of
which We express BY "ank.r and
they applied it to what was bent
from straight line or what we call
an angle.
So it is that We use that little
root in most of our words that inn
ply what is bent or curved. The
ankle is at the bend of the foot,
and for that reason We base its
name on the old root "ank." With
anchor" We do the same thing be-
cause its arms are bent at angles
from It's shank.
Though our work '1hookn has
come 10 US through a different
channel. when We use hook for
fishing We say that We are "an-
Cling" because We use an instru-
ment that is made on en- angle.
Then We call it an angle" for the
reason that our first known ances-
tors said that what was bent was
~ank."
Our more immediate ancestors.
the Anglo-Saxons. made their word
"angel" out of this same root and
applied it to their fishing hooks.
The same word with the same
meaning is in the Danish and Ger
man.
When the Frenchman talks about
an anchor he SAYS ''ancre," and in
Latin it is "ancora.' from "ancus,"
which means having crooked arm.
In the Greek it is "ogkos," mean
ing bend. from which comes "ag-
kura." an anchor. From the same
root "ank" our Hindoo brothers get
their 'Sanch." which in Sanskrit
means a bend.
This little root shown in many
words of so many different Ian
guages. all pointing far back to a
union of tongues. is one of the links
in the chain that leads to the
knowledge of the once sameness
in now widely separated tongues

The Lure of the Street.

That the street has an attraction
for the boys and girls who haa bet
ter be a home, there is no doubt.
To ANYBODY whose duties require
their presence in the business dis
trict either by day or night this is
perfectly apparent. Boys and girls
of a tender age are allowed to race
the streets before and after school
and after night without apparent re-
straint, and in many cases they are
noisy, boisterous and conduct them
selves in a manner that would not
at all meet with the approval of
their parents. 1t is the duty OF par
ents to know where their children
are and what their company is, and
they cannot know this while they
are on the streets. Any night a
number of girls, who should be at
home, can be seen on the streets in
company of others and in places
that would not be approved by their
parents. The street habit is a dan
gerous one for children, especially
for girls. There is a certain fas-.
cination in being on the street, and
when the habit is once acquired by
either boy or girl it is hard to break
up. 1t is the wide and easy road to
many dangerous habits. While you
can yet control your child keep it Off
the street You may be saved many
a heart ache in the future.-Winter-
set Reporter.

Every milk COW in Iowa should be
tested for tuberculosis" says DR..
Paul Koto, state veterinarian. A
week ago, the state veterinarian de-
partment proved absolutely that a
baby living at Watkins, Iowa, has
tuberculosis, contracted from drink
ing milk given by cow suffering
from tuberculosis. DR.. Koto regards
this instance as a terrible warning
to milkmen and parents of Iowa.
Parents should refuse to buy milk
from dairymen or cow owners until
the cows furnishing the milk are
thoroughly tested" said DR.. Koto.

of fish, we are told, over at the
Power Company's dam on the Iowa
river this spring. The fishermen as
semble below the dam and when the
gates are shut the water recedes so
rapidly that the fish are left partial
w stranded and are shot or knocked
long as they kill only red horse and
suckers, but if they go to capturing
game fish that way they are liable to
have costly visit from the game
