WASHINGTON.
Low Rates on the B. s 0.

Low Rates on the B. s. o.
Washington What a host of re-
collections flood memory at the
mere mention of the name.
There is no place in the world
which should be so dear to the heart
of every patriotic American.
Washington, Adams, Jefferson,
jackson, Webster, Clay, Calhoun,
Sumner, Seward, Douglas, Stephens,
Scott, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
Blaine-all the great statesmen and
soldiers whose names are like the
stars in tho flag of our country
this is the theatre of their great
achievements, the forum of their
memorable debates, the arena OF
their struggles and their triumphs;
aside from its historic associations,
Washington is justly called the
most beautiful city in the world
the city of magnificent distances, a
perfect arsenal of interesting feat
ures-public buildings, statuary, art
galleries, monuments, museums,
paintings, parks and gardens.
All are yours; they belong to the
citizens of this glorious country and
can all be visited without paying
one cent for admission or fee. AS
an educator, trip to the National
Capitol has not an equal on the
globe.
By taking (and only by taking
the Baltimore and Ohio, you will
see river hallowed in America
beyond all others by historic rec
ollections-the river on whose banks
sleeps the Father of his country
the river for whose possession more
lives have been sacrificed than were
lost to guard the German Rhine.
This river, the memory haunted
Potomac, is closely followed for
more than one hundred miles of its
most delightful scenery by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, a ride in
itself a dream of science, loneliness
and beauty.
The last of the series of reduced
rate excursion, to Washington via
the B. & o. is announced for Thurs
day, April 9th.
Fare for the round trip from Par
kersburg, 80 Trains leave 2:45 p.

When persons have complaints to
make against their neighbors for
unlawful acts, would it not be better
for the police officer and the town,
to clothe himself with a warrant
before exercising authority2 1t is
any easy matter to make complaint,
but will the party making them
swear ont warrant is the question:
Nine times out ten he will not do SO.
The town needs general clean
ing up. Rubbish and filth of all
kinds is lying around everywhere.
The corporation should either COM
pei each person to clean up his
property, or put force of hands al
it themselves at the public expense.
This matter should be attended to
at once. To neglect it might be
the cause of an outbreak of some
serious epidemic.

4 Eight at Clifton.

The steamboat landing at Clifton

er. Van johnson, ofWest Columb-

arch, West Virginia, to work in the
mines. When the boat landed, he
went ashore to bid his wife good
bye, and leighton Henry, who was
on unfriendly terms with him,
struck at him. This started the ball
rolling and it stopped only when
some half dozen were scattered
around on the ground, and Henry
had to be carried away, with sever
al bad bruises and quite a number
of knife holes in him. Chas. Par
cell, of Monarch, West Virginia, a
coal operator, who had been here
for several days hunting hands, re-
ceived bad wound on his hand.
All the leaders on the back of his
right hand were cut off at the wrist,
and DIR. Hartinger, who dressed the
wound, said it would probably Grip.

Coop RoAps.-The Agricultural
Department has issued circular to
be sent to all railroad presidents in
the United States offering sugges.
tions for their co operation in the
good roads movement. Many of
the railway companies have made
concessions in transporting road
materials ranging from half rates to
free carriage. Others have offered
to carry the freight at the bare cost
of hauling whenever general road
improvement is undertaken. 1t is
suggested that the latter plan be
generally adopted. The method of
computing the cost, it is cited could
be defined and a board constituted
for adjusting the rates to be grant
ed in accordance with local con-
ditions.
The circular says: "Such COM
bined concession would be of i'm
mense value to the public, while it
would involve little actual expense
to the companies and it's bare an-
nouncement would do more to adj
vance the road movement than.
years of purely educational work
1t would be an inspiration to prompt
action by state and local authorities
throughout the Union. Should
anything in the state or national be
found to inhibit such discriminating
rates the legislative authorities
would, no doubt, quickly remove
the obstacle in the interest of the
public welfare"
On the first page of this paper
will be found the new election pre-
cincts for this county, as recently
arranged and adopted by the Conn
ty Court. 1t is we'll to preserve
this paper, for future reference.
The law now compels the voter to
vote in the particular precinct in
which he resides. You can't vote
at any other precinct. Study the
boundaries of your precinct, that
you may know where you are at.
