Messrs. Harry f Brennan and
c.. II. Hutcheson, of Caldwell, Z,
Ohio, made our office a pleasant
call on Friday of last week. Mr..
Brennan is the gentleman that
purchased the Linton farm that
lays on the north corporation line
of Logan, and which will be laid
off in town lots and sold on June
5. They are pleasing gentlemen.
and will put on one of the most
gigantic lot sales in the history of
this community.
We are glad to recite that the
news from Williamson, w. Va,
that Homer Connor, one of our
esteemed Logan boys has been re.
leased from his trouble in the clut-
ches of the law in that state. Some
months ago while Homer was work
ing In that state on the railroad as
operator, he was abused by a
hurley coal man, who seemed to
insist that he must have trouble
with Connors. One day quarrel
ensued and the coal man jumped
upon Connors to give him beat
ing. 1t was necessary for Homer
to defend himself, and he pulled
his revolver and fired. The bur-
ley fell over dead, the fate that he
deserved. Connor was arrested
for murder and the grand jury
found an indictment, but in the
trial of the case last week the young
fellow was acquitted by the jury
which was only out five minutes. 1t
was shown that the killing was
purely in self-defense. Mr.. Con
nor's parents live in Logan where
they and the son have many
friends, who are glad to hear that
he got out of his trouble, He was
telegraph operator for the Hook
ing Valley here for many years
and always bore the best of repu-
tation.

charge. was told to Judge Mann by
Mary Brown of Eugene, Ore. She
left home because her mother could

Front avenue.
The eating house was run by u

was preparing to leave because OF
rough treatment when the place

seemed to have a strange influence
over her and even kept back her
money. Pouness was fined $40 and

YES, INDEED, SENATE FAvORs PENSIONS FOR
SENATORS.

Why not pass law pensioning all exnembers of the
senate of the United States?
The senate favors such law.
Whether the people favor such law appears to be of
little consequence.
1t would be better to pension all exsenaors by general
enactment than to accomplish the result by subter-
fuge And that what the senate evidently aims do
Henry M. Teller has been put the senae's pension
roll He is to draw senator's salary member of
committee 'for revising the penal code of the United
States This job is something like the handed to
James A. Hemenway, who draws senator's salary for
being commission to Investigate the service "
These the badest subterfuges What the senate is
doing creating jobs to pensions for exsenator
If it is good thing to pension former members of the
senate is good thing to do it openly, by clear enact
ment and have the law apply to all exsenators.
Of course there is provision of the constitution which
forbds the creation of offices for exmember of the
gress; also the increase of salaries in offices already
ated The ''Knox Incident has revived recollection of
that paragraph of the constitution.
Members of the senate have good deal to about the
sacredness of the constitution.
How about the unconstitutonay of pensions former
members of the senate?

THE SPECIALS
UNEXPECTED STOP.

The step from the heights Of
bliss to the depths of misery is
not slight, but it doesn't take long
for the descent, especially if one
is in love. John Hartman, the
moment before reading that note
from Sadie Morton, was about as
near heaven as man could be.
When he finished the brief epistfe
his thoughts were by no means
celestial.
He and Sadie had been in love
for a long time. and only the de-
cided opposition of the young
woman's parents had prevented
their marriage.
"'Dad' has decided there is
danger in delay" the girl wrote,
and mother and l are to start
for Europe tonight. She and l
will leave over the X. & o. at IL
o'clock on a special train. There
will be no chance for me to es-
cape at the depot, but perhaps If
you can meet us at some station
down the road-but you can't do
that. for I don't suppose our train
will stop anywhere. Hoping for
the best, I am -"
Having read the note through
four times, as though unable to
grasp it's meaning, Hartman fold
ed 1t carefully and placed it in
his pocket. Then he went to his
room and began to think, for he
knew Mathew Morton would not
be baked easily, and it was known
to be his greatest desire to have
his daughter marry man of rank.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock that
night when Hartman left his
room, carrying mysterious bun
die, which he had purchased
earlier in the evening. At a livery
barn he secured buggy and team
and drove rapidly out of the city,
taking a road which paralleled the
railway along which the special,
bearing the woman he loved was to
go.
Not far fro mthe city limits
was q heavy grade, and 1t was on
Lonesome Ridge, assthe crest of
the grade was known. that the
man stopped and tied his team.
Leaving the buggy. he took hrs
bundle and approached the rail-
road track. At the upper end of
the grade he opened his package.

Rushing from his hiding place,
Hartman hurried along the one

raised. In the window appeared
the face of the woman he loved.
and boldly he stepped into the
broad beam of light and beckoned
to her to leave the train.
The curtain was drawn down
again and a minute later, as the
engine began it's second effort to
climb the grade, Sadie Morton
stepped from the rear platform OF
the Pullman into the waiting arms
of her lover.
Quickly they ran to the buggy
tied at the roadside, and drove
rapidly away. They were nearly
back to the city, where a minister
was waiting, when the engine,
amid a shower of sparks, pulled
across the crest of the grade, and
Mrs. Morton, ignorant of her
daughters departure, dreamed of
the European trip ahead.
