Makes Address.

Minnesota celebrated her day at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition by I'M

railroad builder.
John A. Johnson, governor of Min
nesota, delivered the principal adj
dress and Embossed the cord that
bound about the monument the flags
of Japan, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States.
The crowd present at the ceremo-
MES seemed to confirm saying that
Minnesota has contributed more peo-
pie to the new state of Washington
than has been done by any other
state. In addition the number of Min
Iesotans present as visitors to the new
state was unprecedentedly large. Be-
sides Governor Johnson and his staff
and Mayor James T. Haynes of Min
neapolis the visitors included several
hundred residents of the Twin Cities,
who made the long journey to be pres
ent at Minnesota's day of glory at the
fair.
The exercises were held IN the
worlds fair auditorium. Judge Thorn
as Burke of Seattle presided and
Bishop E. J. O'Dea offered a prayer.

HEAVY GAIN IN TWO MONTHS
Traffic en- Northwestern Railroads
Picking Up.

That traffic on the Northwestern
railroads is steadily picking up is
demonstrated by the fact that the
amount of business handled at the
Minnesota Transfer at ST. Paul is so
per cent greater than it was the first
of June. An average of 5000 cars is
handled at the transfer now as COM
pared to 1000 two months ago. The
advance has been in all kinds of
traffic.
There has hardly been any gain in
the eastbcund movement on the trans
continental lines. Comparatively lit
tie lumber is being shipped. With the
prospect that the duty from Canada
will be removed there is no active de-
mand for forest products. The move.
ment westbound is steadily increas-
ing, general merchandise and building
material of all kinds being shipped
In large quantities.

HighWayInan and Pursuer Killed
at White Bear.
FIGHT FOLLOWS BANK ROBBERY
Three Other Members of Posse
Wounded, One Fatally.

Two men are dead and three wound
ed, one probably fatally, as the result of
q pitched battle between a lone bank
robber, who raided the First State
bank of White Bear village, securing
1857, and posse of citizens of the
village. The dead are:
EDWARD LARkIN, chef at Bald
Eagle cottage, who took part in the
pursuit of the robber.
ROBERT POLL, the bank robber.
William. Butler, pioneer resident
of White Bear, was shot through the
abdomen and may die and Richard
Doran and John Christie were pain
fully wounded
Not since the raid of the Mortified
bank by the James and Younger gang,
more than thirty years ago, has a
Minnesota city had so exciting a time
with bank bandits as did White Bear
village.
Before the bandit was finally rid
died with shot and bullets Pohl had
hours and twenty-five minutes within
three blocks Of the bank and fully 800
shots had been exchanged between
him and a posse Of villagers.
When the dead robber was searched
he had S567 in a coat pocket and thir-
ty cartridges for his revolver, which
was emptied. He fred about twenty
| five shots at the posse.
The robber, who had been employed
as labOrer on some building work at
White Rear for few days previous,
received his payment-a check for 81
and went to the bank to get it
cashed. Cashier Alfred Anger was
/ the only man in the bank.
Gets Drop on Cashier.
The man offered Anger the check
and while the cashier was examining
it he drew an automatic pistol When
Anger looked up he gazed into the bar
rel of the weapon and was told to hand
over all the cash in the bank AS the
man had the drop on him Anger was
compelled to obey and passed out all
/
to 1857. The robber fed down through
the streets of the village in the direc-
ton of Bald Eagle lake.
Anger gave the alarm at once and
in few minutes the entire population
of the village, armed with revolvers
and rifles, was in hot pursuit.
Seeing his pursuers gaining on him

yard about two squares from the bank
and when the self-constituted posse
drew near opened fire.
Larkin, who was leading the pur-
suers, paid no attention to the shots
or to the warnings of the robber and
went boldly into the closet He
dropped dead on the threshold with a
bullet through his heart.
This tragedy caused a halt among
the pursuers, who retired to whatever
sheltered points offered themselves
and opened fire on the closet with
rifles and revolvers.
The fire was briskly returned by
the robber and in few minutes But
Ter fell, shot through the abdomen.
Other shots fired by the robber wound
ed two other men.
Finally the robber took refuge in a
pile of brush and was shot to death
by the posse. He was shot twice
through the chest, both wrists were
shattered, bullet went into his head
and his entire body was riddled with
small shot from shotguns.

SIX, Months for Carrying a Pistol.

The first arrest in Jefferson county I'M
der the new Johnson pistol-toting law
was that OF a colored man at Harper's
Ferry last Thursday. The man, who was
from Maryland and who bears goodrep-
utation, attended the commencement ex-
ercises at Storer College, and, accidental
ly exposing revolver, he was arrested
for carrying concealed weapons and taken
before magistrate for trial. Under the
Johnson law there is no discretion on the
part of the court, and upon conviction a
Jail sentence of at least six months is in
evitable. There being no question as to
the facts, the man was sentenced to six
months in the county Jail at Charles Town,
and though he naively asked that ne be
allowed to serve the time next winter,
when work would be scarce and time
would not hang so heavily, he was sent
to the baStie, where he now languiSheS.
His employer, who regards him highly,
offered to pay any fine that might be as
sessed and have him released, but the
law is satisfied only with jail sentence
and there was no helpfor him. The pris-
oner remarked that if all the negroes who
carried revolverS in Harper's Ferry last
Thursday had been arrested there would
have to be an enlargement of the Jail.
We again give warning OF the risk ia
ken by persons who persist in carrying
revolvers. There are number OF boys
and young men in this community who
think il smart to keep pistol in their
pockets, while a certain class OF colored
men always have gun about them. If
hey are caught with these weapons in
their possession nothing will save them
from six months in Jail.

The building which is designed to be
used as rest house or meeting place for
ladies from the country who come to
Shepherdstown was formally opened last
Saturday, when the ladies of the town
and vicinity gave house warming. There
were a good many visitors present, and
refreshments were served to all corners.
The building has been very comfortably
furnished, and matron, Mrs. Mamie
Taylor, is in charge day and night. All
the women from the county, as well as
from neighboring towns, are cordially in
vited to make this their stopping place
when in Shepherdstown, and they will be
heartily welcome to the conveniences and
comforts provided, without money and
without price, although their assistance
will be asked from time to time when en-
tertainments for special purposes are to be
held. Magazines and periodicals have
been provided, a telephone has been in
stalled, electric lights put in, and the peo-
pie ought to find it great convenience
and comfort.

Meeting of the Board of Regents.

A meeting of the old Board OF Regents
of the State Normal Schools was held at
Huntington last week in conjunction with
the new State Board of Regents. The
principals of all the State normal Schools
were reelected for another year and the
faculty of Marshall College was chosen.
The new board organized by electing
NJ P. Shawkey, State Superintendent OF
Schools, president, P. W. Morris, secre-
tary, and g. A. Northcott, treasurer. The
new and old boards will meet again at
Clarksburg on June 18th, when faculties
for the five other normal schools will be
selected.
Among the important orders passed by
the board was that requiring all candi-
dates for diplomas in the normal depart
ment of each OF the normal schools to take
the work in the normal schools on all
branches required for the granting OF GER
tificates under the new uniform examina-
ton law or passing an examination on
questions prepared by the State depart
ment of free schools.
A readjustment of salaries ofprincipals
and teachers was made at all the normal
schools, except Marshall College and Fair
mont. The salaries of the principals
were increased from sixteen hundred to
eighteen hundred per year, and the salary

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catanh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

BOLD and arrogant beyond belief, and
insolent with an insolence that comes only
from the assurance that he is backed by
every trust and corporation, almost, in the
country, Senator Aldrich made plain his
position in the Senate on Monday. Goaded
by the way in which the honest Republic
cans in the Senate have exposed the in
crease in almost every tariff schedule pre-
scented by his committee, Senator Aldrich
defiantly takes the stand for protection so
high as to be prohibitive. The exclusion
of the foreigner from the American mar
kets and the establishment OF such condl-
tions as will enable existing combinations
and those yet to be formed to stamp out
competition, control production and reg
ulate prices-these are the purposes, open
and ayowed, of Aldrich and his crowd.
This isn't what the Republican platform
declared for, nor is it what the country
wants, but it is revision of the tariff by ITS
friends.

Shepherd College Summer School Fo
Teachers.

Shepherd College Summer Scho0i For
Teachers.
The Summer School for Teachers con-
Quoted by Shepherd College State Nor
NAL School is opening under suspicious
circumstances. Already number OF
students from distance are enrolled,
and the attendance is now confidently ex-
pected to be better even than that OF last
years term. Several of the spring term
students are remaining for the summer
work. In addition to teachers review
work, credit work will be offered in sew
eral branches. Classes will be organized
in such advanced work as there is Suffl-
cient demand for, two courses being the
maximum amount of "credit work" that
any student will be allowedto do. Agood
opportunity is thus given students to
"catch up" where they have fallen be-
hind in their work. The teachers review
work will cover all the subjects included
in the uniform state examination. While
students may take all Of the subjects in
review, they will find it better plan to
pursue from four to six studies only. BY
following that plan they can review these
subjects with such thoroughneSs that the
examination will have little terror for them.
1t necessary, they can later on review prl-
vately the subjects in which they failed to
make the desired grade and take them in
the September examination.
June IS was the time originally set Tor
the beginning of the summer school, but
work is already in progress, and if STU
dents would get full benefit, they should
enroll just as soon as possible. The tut
ton charge is S. for the term. For othes
further desired information address either
First Assistant ]. D. Muldoon or Mr.. W.
M. Duke, who are in charge OF the work.
The fall term of Shepherd College will
open September 14th.

A BIG fight is being made this week
by representatives of newspaper pub
fishers for free wood pulp and free paper,
but there is little likelihood that the tariff
will be taken off.
What's the use?
Aldrich has the votes TO carry any point
he wishes to make, and there's no more
reason why newspaper publishers should
be relieved of a burden than that con-
sumers of sugar and users OF lumber and
cotton and wooden goods should be fav-
ored.
Sock il to everybody-that'S the way to
get up tariff bill.
