HAS TYPHOID FEVER.
Hon. William L. Wilson'S Ser
iousIy III in Mexico.
STATE DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED.
The United States Consul General at the
City Of Mexico Has Sent the Best Ply
stefan and Has Selected Sanitary
Location-Mr. Wilson Sends his Son
A Telegram to Look After His Life
Insurance.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February "a.
The following telegram was receiv-
ed at the Department of State this
afternoon
CRY OF MEXICO, February "a, 1894,
Secretary of State, Washington.
Mr.. Wilson has developed mark
ed typhoid fever General condition
grave, though fever is of mild type.
DIR. Mallet Provost, whom ] sent from
here to Aguas Calentios to see him,
has had him removed to Guadalajara,
which he considers the best location
for sanitary surroundings in Mexico.
To bring him to this city would be
most dangerous. He shall have the
best attention.
(Signed) CRATTESDEN,
u. 5. Consul General.
VIM. III. Wilson, son and private
secretary of the Congressman, receiv-
ed a dispatch from his father early
in the day, asking that the premium
on his life insurance policy, due Feb
ruary 81. be looked after. While there
was nothing unusual about the re-
quest, it was taken as rather sugges-
tive by Mr. Wilson, Jr.. and he was
quite uneasy.
The last heard from the family
was by letter from Kansas City as
the party were about to depart for
Mexico, and at that time Mrs. Will
son said her husband appeared to
have thrown off all the i'll effects of
his first attack.
Young Mr. Wilson communicated
his fears to some of his fathers
friends, and it was thought that the
son should leave for Mexico unless
some reassuring word was received
very soon. This was before the State
Department dispatch was received.
The latter days of Mr. Wilson s
tariff work were done with a fever
hanging about him, accompanied at
that time by slight hemorrhages.
Throughout these strains on his vi
tally he kept up, meeting all de-
mands for his time, voice and energy.
As Is well known, his speech clos
ing the debate was made while he
tottered and was hardly able to sus-
tain himself, and at times his son,
who was at his side, expected him
to faint. As against his worn out
system, there is the indomitable will
and courage of Mr.. Wilson, and it is
the hope of his friends that this will
carry him safely through the present
ordeal

A Dishonest Outcry

The Wilson bill is severely de-
nounced by protectionists, who call
it free trade measure and tell the
people that it's effect will be to bring
disaster to the American manufac-
turer. Yet, as the New York World
truthfully says: "This tariff is a
higher tariff than Henry Clay
thought necessary for the protection
of infant industries so years ago. 1t
is higher than the Morrill, tariff of
1862. 1t is nearly as high as the
tariff of 1888. 1t is q less average
reduction of so per cent tariff than
the Republican tariff commission of
1882 recommended in 40 per cent
tariff" These facts should not be
forgotten by all. There was no talk
of ruin under any of the above nam
ed tariffs. That of 1888 was gener-
ally satisfactory to the protectionist
until he saw chance of getting it
raised peg higher. 1t is well
known that they made money under
it, but now they fear the result of
the small reduction that has been
made.

Boys will be boys and college stu
dents will have their fun, but fun
that results in manslaughter is de-
serving of quite a different name.
The fun of the Cornell sophomores,
through which colored servant lost
her life and a number of freshmen
were brought to deaths door, de
serves to he expiated in prison, and
the Cornell authorities in addition
should brace up their discipline bit
or dismiss all students and close the
University doors. The generation
of poisonous gas and its introduction
into room full of human beings is
an indication that prison and not
college training would be just now
the right thing for some Cornell stu.
dents. 1t is sometimes said that the
demeanor of the students in Morgan
town is far better than in former
years. 1t is well that the progress
is in that direction, and that the ten
dency has not been to become like
the boys at Cornell and carry on the
really barbarous practices that have
never been fought against nor disap
proved by the powers there.

A great deal of literature has
sprung up during the past few weeks
in illustration and explanation of
the word Get ckoo" as used in a pol
tical sense The New York Sun,
usually accurate. has been caught
mapping, when it says;
THE use of the word cuckoo as
designation of political reproach is
traceable to Captain Boutelle, the
free spoken Maine mariner, and was
applied by him in Congress, in
nautical sportiveness, to an up State
New York member, whose PARTIAL
ties for the policies enunclated by
President Cleveland has generally
been observed to be of the automa-
tic order; defense and endorsement
always on tap, and no questions ask
ed. The addition of this apt and
expressive noun to the political vo
cabulary of 'mugwump,' 'stalwart,
'halfbreed,' dough face tender
foot. 'barnburner,' dark horse
'copperhead, bunker 'moonshiner,'
'featherhead,' log roller 'roor back
and rag baby is not EMBODIED in
mystery or uncertainty. 1t is in use
only about three weeks, but has at
tanned already general popularity"
This error is corrected by CORES
pendent who says that John Ran
dolph of Roanoke on one occasion,
while making speech attacking the
administration, was constantly an
moved by the Interruptions Of a mem
Der from Ohio. Finally, Randolph
became very angry and said: Mr..
Speaker, in Holland poor workman
with piece Of wood and strips Of
leather, makes a mechanical contri
vance which when pressed between
the thumb and forefinger makes the
sound cuckoo! cuckoo. Nature has
been more generous to the gentleman
from Ohio, but, Mr. Speaker, the re-
suit is the same" The term came
into general use for a supporter of
the administration, and was frequent
ly used, even as lately as the time of
Prcsid ent johnson. This is one
more proof that there is nothing new
under the sun. not even cuckoo"

POLITICALLY Put

Hon. VIM. NJ Kincaid, of Cameron
in closing an able article to the
Wheeling Register uses the follow
ing language:
"Mr. Editor, our grand ship OF
State is now sailing in clear water
Her flag is unfurled to the breeze
AT her helm is Grover Cleveland, and
his first mate is VIM. L. Wilson. The
stormy pillows that beset his course
during the days of Mckinley high
protection are ebbing and flowing
back; soon she will land in port.
All will be serene and bright sun
shine. The good things the Demo
cratic party have so long promised
the people will begin to be distribut-
ed. On every side the glad tidings
will flow outward and be waited on
every zephyr. Well done; the work
has been nobly wrought and execut-
ed. Long live the name of Grover
Cleveland, but longer still will live
the name of VIM. L. Wilson, for he
stood between the people and monop
oily as rock of fire Honest, upright,
manly and true to himself, to his
constituency and to the nation. Long
live VIM. L. Wilson.

This wouId BE nu.,ues.

A few days ago the matter of an
ice factory was referred to in these
columns. The project is to connect
the new plant with the electric light
plant and thus one company would
be deriving revenue from two lead
ing sources But more capital to the
stock Of the present company would
be required il the ice factory con-
nectien we're made. Are there those
in Morgantown who wish to invest
money proftably? The opportunity
is ripe. Go into this scheme. Here
is an argument or two. Consider
them. Then come and talk business.
The aforesaid arguments are:
The machinery that runs an cleo
trio plant by night could very we'll
run an ice machine by day, and thus
be profitably employed during the
whole twen5y-four hours. An ice
mandatory could be established in
this way at considerably less cost
and be run at much less expense
than if run separately. The same
engine and much of the same appar-
atus, as well as the same building
could be utilized for both as well as
for either one The only additional
increase in the original investment
would be the cost of the ice machine
without an engine, and the income
of both would go into the treasury
of the same company.
There is quite large population
adjacent to Morgantown that would
become patrons of an ice manufacto-
ry. All the down-river towns would
furnish markets for it. Transpor-
tation by boat would be cheap and
and ample, and there is no doubt
bat they would avail themselves OF
it. So, also, would our neighboring
towns above us, which are nearer to
US than Wheeling, find it to their
advantage to buy ice here.
Moreover we have the finest and
purest water in the State, and pa
irons would regard it as q great con.
sideration to obtain ice taken, so tc
speak, from mountain spring
Such ice ought to be rated as lux.
ury that would command a premi
um.
The winter has almost gone, and
it is safe to say that there is not an
ice house within a radius of hun
dred miles from Morgantown that is
not empty. There is scarcely q
shadow of chance for filling them
this season from the streams. The
sole dependence during the ensuing
summer will be upon manufactured
ice, and the demand promises to be
large and the prices good. More.
over it has come to be the case that
manufactured ice has an even chance
in the market as a competitor with
the natural product even when the
latter is abundant. The mynufac-
tured article is so much more solid
and lasting, as well as cleaner and
purer, that.it is regarded as cheap.
er even at an advanced cost. Sc
that very good profit can be made
on manufactured ice under any con-
ditions.

Stag.

When Beechurst Avenue is thor
oughly graded and treated to six
inches layer of Stag, then We will
have sure enough avenue.
Stag will be more acceptable than
even brick on Beechnrst, because it
is a nice driveway. Brick is too
hard and solid for speed, but good
coating of Stag covered with clay
will make a good driveway all the
year round
Moreover Stag can be hauled right
along side of Beechurst, its entire
length, and can he had for the haul
ing.
A first class avenue, as to grading
and bedding, is all that is now need
ed to make the B. & 1. Co.'S property
great success. 1t is an attractive
location when you get there, and the
thing to do now is to get there.
''To get there" is the great ques-
ton in every business enterprise.
But it IS not always appreciated in
this neck of the woods There are
lots Of places 10 this county which
are out of market and out of business
because nobody can get there. The
fact is the whole county is out of
business during the winter months
because nobody can get any place
for want Of passable roads.
A single plank board walk has
given the whole of Stringtown a
boom. People have observed that
now they can get there, and they
want to buy lots. The plank walk
will build up that whole bottom.
There is nothing like a way to get
there. Without it any enterprise
might as well take down its shingle.
The more attractive the way the
more people will get there And the
way to get there depends on the way
to get there.

Sewerage and Health, or Foul
Drains, Fever and Death, which
Shall 1t Be?

Shall 1t Be?
Last week an ordinance was pub.
lished which submits to the voters
the question of issuing bonds for the
construction of system of sewers
for the town. A vote will be taken
March 10. The Council have wisely
based their ordinance upon a pre-
liminary survey made by competent
engineer, Mr. Albert Smith, of Salts
burg, Pa, and report and estimate
of the cost, embracing every portion
of the town in need of sewers. This
report and estimate will be publish
ed in circular form and placed in the
hands of every voter in the town.
We understand that portion of the
money arising from these bonds is
to be applied to large and complete
underground drains from the wharf
through the st. Clair, Price, Kiger,
Rice and other properties. And also
an underground drain to completely
take in that long drain extending
from beyond the Boughner property
down through the lot owned by the
Hough heirs and property owned by
j. M. Reed to the river. These are
two of the foulest drains in the
town, and fever, disease and death
Turk in them from source to mouth.
There are two ways of paving for
sewers. One is the way submitted
to the voters by issuing bonds, con
tructing the system complete as
whole, so that the citizens may all,
at the same time, have the benefit of
sewers, laying small levy each year
to pay off bonds and interest after
number of years.
The other way is to lay out the
system of sewers, lay levy as high
as possible, construct a portion of it
the first year and thereby force the
completion of the system in subse
quent years.
We don't know that the Council
contemplate the latter method, but
they could resort to it if the bonds
are not issued. Sewers we must
have sooner or later and the sensible
plan is to vote the bonds and let the
system be constructed at once, before
the heat of summer sets in.
