The Morning Daily Herald came
out ms per schedule on last Sunday at
Clarksburg and 1T! cxpects5 to keep 1t
up:eivery day except Monday from this
time forth. The new paper Is in COM

had many years experience In the
.Clarksburs field Is general manager
of the new venture and he probably
knows how to make it go. Three pa
pers will crowd things some at Clarks-
burg, but the Herald will likely be
one of the two left when the n.mbef
Is reduced as t.-seems almost certain
to be before a great while. The
Herald is to be Republican paper
which knows no faction. Avery happy
thought but hard TO realize on.

of Clearing Lieutenant

Ny mother and I leave for Annapolis

A STORY OF UNSEEN THINGS.

TT is a story that is repiete with trag-
edy, with pathos, with recOlIectiOns
of discouragements and vicissitudes
and their overcoming. with feminine
strategy and love arrayed against legal
decree and official dictum, with all the
clements that make the world closer
akin, and cause one human heart to
beat in sympathy with another.

stood before the little family group in
Portland.
Can you stand a shock?" he asked
the wife and mother.
About anything except Jimmie" she
replied, feeling in advance that her ad-
monition was in vain.
It's about Jimmie" the father re-
piled. Hes dead at Annapolis"
A moment Of silence, Of blanched
countenances, of gripping weakness
about the heart. The sudden grief was
too poignant TO bring tears.
Manner of Death
Shrouded In Mystery.
How did he die? Did the cannon ex-
plode? Was ne murdered? Did he
meet with an accident? Was he drowned
at sea?" the mother asked IN turn.
NO" came in reply to each agonized
query.
How then? What do you mean?''
she asked, simply.
They say he committed suicide" an
swered the father OF James y. Sutton.
They say lie. Ny son did not. could
not, take his own life," the woman an
swered.
The conviction of that moment marked
the beginning OF the fight in which the
last scene will be enacted at Annapolis
this week.

Old Feeling Revived Upon
Eve of Return of
Musician.

family with open arms lie will not be
received at the German home at 102a
Vermont avenue northwest, as a mem
Der OF the German family. Tie same
feeling which was entertained by the
family when the daughter married the
3 young and unknown musician was pres
ent today.
A member of the family stated today
t5at Nagness would not be received at
the German home, although Mrs. Mag
ness will be welcomed whenever she
cares TO enter the parental home
No trace Of Magness could be found in
Washington today. Neither could Mrs.
AIagness be located. 1t IS thought pos
sible that she made arrangements to
meet her husband in Baltimore and re-
turn TO this city this evening in order 10
avoid publicity. 1t is known that they
intend to take a trip to the North some
time I'm August and it IS possible she
has changed her plans and they have
started on the trip now.
Deserted After Marriage.
Magness was a musician in the navy,
and he deserted shortly after his mar
riage TO Miss German. When arrested
he had in his pocket a large number Of
United States bonds which had been
the property Of his wife
Mrs. NaEness used every influence she
could muster TO secure the release Of
her husband. So frequently did she
importune the President and the Secre-
tarv OF the Navy that they ordered
MaCness to be held iOr eight full
months. wnen he might have escaped
with six. When imprisoned on the ship
MaEuess was put at the hardest kinds
of work but he proved so willing that
the authorities became easier on him.
For several months now. he has been
the ships tailor. and has made all Of
the clothes needed.
Campaign for Pardon.
As a prisoner convicted of desertion,
Magness has lost his citizenship, but his
wife will begin a campaign at once for
his pardon which viii return to him
all the rights and privileges of an Amer
lean citizen
II is not decided definitely just what
Maguess will do in Washington, al
though fl is supposed he will want 10
continue work in music, 10 which ne
seemed welI suited. His wife is also
an accomplished musician. While on tic
prison ship, he was the leader of the
hand He also participated in the en-
tertalnments given by the convicts, be-
ing an actor of ability MagueSS was
exceedingly popular on the prison ship
because of his versatility and cheerful
ness. He was the recipient of hundreds
If letters and gifts in the shape of
flowers and fruit and other delicacies
from his wife.
Niagness is considerably younger than
his wife.
