THAT MIRACL WINDOW.
Expert Examination Fails to Show the
Picture the Faithful see.

ST. PAUL, December 2O.-The inves-
tigation by an expert OF the Canton
Church window was made partly at the
request of Archbishop Ireland. The
Archbishop offered special facilities for
such an investigation. The result has
been TO prove the falsity Of all claims
made in regard to this miracle win
dow" 1t is now probable that the AS
sumption Canton Church will be closed,
at least temporarily. When the fact
was stated to Archbishop Iraland that
during the last three days there had
been renewal OF the special train SER
vice for carrying pilgrims TO Canton,
the Archbishop uttered an expression
OF sorrow. He believed that there had
been no fraud, conniying at or abetting
it on the part Of Father Jones, but
thought it likely that the priest might
have erred in being too creduous.
us IL safe 10 say that the church
will be closed?" was asked OF the Arch
bishop.
"You may say that nothing will be
lost in checking pilgrimage"
When told that dozens Of pilgrims
asserted their ability TO see the face at
the window when 1t was impossible to
other eyes, the Archbishop remarked
that these facts presented curious
study. He characterized as absurd the
theory that the picture on the window
was only visible to 1.-THE faithful" On
the heels OF the above, however, comes
the following from Canton:
Bishop Cotter arrived here Saturday
afternoon and celebrated mass ~ $50,
and yesterday the Rev. DR.. Jones cele-
ora:ed high mass at 1920. The gath
ering of people was larger than IL was
December 8. From one town In Wis
consin where woman is reported to
have been cured twenty-one others are
here. The sermon was delivered by the
pastor. The text was: The crooked
are made straight Much time was
taken up during the afternoon examin-
ing the glass. No definite decision was
arrived at. Pictures are plainly visible
in all the windows. Special mass will
be celebrated here Christmas and New
Years day."

To th1 Editor Of the REGISTER:
SIR:-Among the names mentioned
for the position OF Internal Revenue
Collector for this State, none is more
commanding than that OF Senator d..
w. Gall of Philippi.
Taking everything into consideration,
there is not man in the State that has
done more for Democratic success than
Senator Gall In the journalistic field
he has served II years with marvellous
success, doing great good for the cause
OF Democracy.
Two years ago he was nominated for
Senator when his district was over
whelmingly Republican and success
seemed impossible; but he took the
stump and made vigorous fight, and
when the election was over and the
ballots were counted it was found that
he was elected by good majority. In
the Senate he commanded the respect
of all and made one of the best men,
bers OF that body.
The Democrats of Webster county
will send in long petition asking his
appointment. Let the Democratic
party "bestow honors where honor be-
longs" DEMOCRAT.

BURGLARS BOLD
Piaying star Engagement Over at Mar
TINS Ferry.

tins Very.
Monday evening seemed to have been
selected especially by burglars to RAID
Martins Ferry. These slick gentlemen
who love darkness better than light
could not help but see the helpless con-
dition of that city, and no doubt made
nm their minds at once after looking at
the inky blackness Of First street that
II would be dead easy to crack some OF
the safes and money drawers along that
IN protected locality and escape
with their plumber in the darkness. AS
earlv as 6:25 in the evening some one
antered the ticket Office at the G., l.. ~
w. r. r. depot by forcing open the
window and secured $3.50 belonging
10 the railroad and express company.
This was done while the operator, Mr..
Sscrest. was out delivering a message.
Later in the night much larger haul
was made on the same street at the
plumbing shop OF w. T. Duncan.
An entrance was gained by the thieves
by forcing open door at the rear enG
of the building. They then proceeded
TO blow open the safe in the store,
which is situated In the extreme front
NJ the building facing on First street,
by drilling a hole about fiye-sixteenths
of an inch in diameter in the door be-
tweea the knob and the combination
hutton, through which was inserted
dynamite or giant powder The eX-
plosion must have been of great
force. as it blew the door six feet from
the body OF the safe, swapping the heavy
hinges entirely off, and also demolish-
Ing the front of the building. Two hun
dred dollars in cash and some valuable
papers and books were carried of by the
thieves. Several parties in the neigh
borhood heard the explosion, but sup
posed the noise originated al the blast
furnace. No clue has been obtained to
the robbers, so far as could be learned.

A Preventive of Cut Worm {.

AT the planting season VIC were
badly troubled with the cutwOrm on
our tomato fields. OF the plants put
out i'm the day we lost p per cent. in
the night. We tried h~and-p:cking
every morning, but with unsatisfac-
tory results. To wage successful war
we TOOK tobacco stems, cut in half
inch lengths. After the soil had been
cleared away from the stem of the
plants to a depth of half an inch, a
small quantity of tobacco was taken
between the fingers and thumb and
placed round the stem of the plants
and the soil replaced Over the tobacco
to the depth of from Onc-fourth to
One-half an inch. The juices of the
tobacco, s%aturating the soil, made it
very obnoxious to the cutwOrm, and
thus protected the plants from its
ravageS. Out of 700 plants 20 treated
only one was dcstrOyd by the worm
after the tobacco was applied. But
wherever the leaf of the plants
touched the ground at a distance
from the tobacco it was attacked by
the cutwOrm and cutoff. The amount
of tobacco placed around each plant
was about One-half ounce. The total
cost of the experiment on the 76S
plants was 80 cents for tobacco and
81 for labor. Altogether the expert
ment was entirely satisfactory, it
will he understood that the treat
ment was not pursued with 4 view of
destroying the worm, but simply to
protect the plants. This method is
highly recommended. -Bullctin Is,

AND GARDEN.
About So,dS.

Many farmers have an exceedingly
bad habit in regard to their annual
supply of seeds. They wait until
spring is upon them and then go to
town and buy from their grocer a
quantity of whatever sorts he happens
to have. These may or may not be
good. One thing is certain, they can
not thus keep abreast with the pro-
gress in the agricultural world. As
a rule, reliable dealers do not sell
their goods on commission in this
way. Nothing is saved by buying
cheap seed. Nearly all dealers send
their catalogues free and thus youcan
not only have many kinds to select
from, but often valuable information
is given as to varieties or methods of
cultivation. 1t is a good plan, in
some cases, to save ones own seeds.
When this is done, only the very best
and earliest specimens should he used.
Unless this is a rigorous practice, de-
teriOratiOn will certainly follow. For
certain kinds, the seed-grOwerS have
so much better advantages for saving
the best seed that it pays to buy of
them. A young man recently tried
to get a club for seeds, but in many
instances was met by the response
that they could get them cheaper.
If some of these cheap seeds should
fail to grow, very likely it will he be-
cause the moon was not in the right
quarter.
