WHAT'S TO DE DONE ABOUT IT?

The question which most interests
the public is, What are you going to do
about it? On this question there is a
very definite public sentiment that the
just and wise thing ought to be- DONE /
and that the consideration OF WHAT'S
the justcst and wiscst thing ought to
consume all the time and receive all the
attention necessaryto its proper solu-
ton. The public is evidently aroused,
and while those VINO have a selfish an
5tcrest in seeing the gas supply con-

and 20 back TO the unelcanly and in
convenient coal, II tho common express
sion isto be relied on there's nobody so
deeply interested that he would consent
to have the city forcgo q Just and reason
able right to benefit any citizen or num-
Der Of citizens.
In the discussion Of the question at
Pittsburgh Captain Bachelor suggested
IN idea which struck most OF those who
heard u with great force, lie asked II
itwould be wiser to have the gas fur
nished free to the city for q part OF tho
year, all other questions being waived
for the sake OF argument, or to lot tho
company sell whit gas 1t could In tho
summer to factories, so rs to allow tho
manufacturers Of this city TO retain the
prestige and the advantage which Is
attached to tho use OF natural gas. This
idea Will OF course receive I'LL tho attcn.
ton fought In tho final adjustment OF
the existing difficulty.
THE ORIGIN OF THE COMPANY.
An interesting piece Of history came
out in the conference ut tho company's
Office at Pittsburgh on Tuesday. which
while it does not affect tho present con-
trovcrsy, is worth recording. 1t was
there related that Mr.. W. Ii. IIcarnc,
OF this city, inow tho companys coun-
sci as'Well as II stockholder was going
east OH the Pennsylvania railroad one
night, and was in the smoking COM
partment, when stranger there direct
cd his attention to II gas well
blazing near George Westinghouse
residence. In tho conversation which
followed it developed that tho
stranger was Capt. ]. J.. Vandegriit,
who was largely in the natural gus bust
ness, and Mr.. Hcarne suggested that
there might be good thing for capital
lists in furnishing gas to Wheeling,
telling ut the same time OF the money
that had been expended in tho vain ell
fort to find gas here. Out OF this grew
the Wheeling enterprise which became
tho Natural Gas Company OF West Vir-
GINA. Capt. Vandcgrift was eloquent
In his expressions OF regret that those
circumstances had ever eliminated rs
they did in the Investment OF large
sums OF money which he said all in the
company had about concluded would
be total loss.

GREAT SUCCESS!!
The Scott Medical Institute

which has just closed its work
of free treatment has
been a success,so far as can be
proved by the numbers of
afflicted people who have
thronged the Institute daily,
many of whom found relief
after the first treatment. This
is a medical institute coming
to our city we'll recommended,
the physicians having received
their diplomas from the best
medical colleges in the United
States as we'll as in foreign
countries, and it has come to
stay as can be proved by the
contracts they have made
which are without exception by
the year. The physicians have
decided to place the price of
treatment within the reach of
the poor as we'll as the rich.
They treat all diseases with
marked success with their
SpeCialties.

Killed for Political Rea.ons

FRESNO, Cal, Aug. sO.-TSpeciall +
Closer inquiry into the circumstances
attending the death Of L. B. McWhir.
ter, the lawyer and politician who was
murdered in his yard yesterday morn
ing, is believed to disprove entirely the
theory that the shooting was done by
burglars. The general conclusion Is
that unless McWhirter had deadly pri.
vate enemy, his death was the result of
the political animosity which he had
aroused. Citizens have contributed SlO,-
600 to be- paid for the arrest and convic.
tion OF the assassin. Feelingr runs high,
and II the assassin is captured it is pos
sible the attempt may be made to lynch
him
