NEARLY A NEW ROAD
Is Being Made Of the TunneIton,
kingwood & Fairchanee.
WILL BE 4 srANDARDGUAGE ROAD


And the Extension Through TO Morgan

The Middle of September viii See
Trains Running ON the Fine New
Track TO Kingwood-A New Station
Site Chosen.
Yesterday the first rails were laid
on the new line of the Tunnelton,
Kingwood d Fairehance railroad,
which is being changed from mar
row to a standard guage Mr.. Mar
tin, the general superintendent, has
made a good many changes in curves
and the like, much improving the
route. At one place five eighths OF
mile of entirely new track has been
laid, and on this part there is a cut
through solid rock, 443 feet long and
fifteen feet two inches deep, and also
a trestle 416 feet long and 30 feet
high at the highest point. The de
pot site in Kingwood has been
changed, and the new station will be
located mile west of town. The
price demanded for yard room and
ground needed for other purposes
was so high that the company decid
ed TO accept an offer of free ground
outside of the place. This does not
quite suit the people. but they have
concluded to accept the situation
and construct new road to the
depot.
President George c. Sturgiss has
secured the right of way from Reeds
vile to Morgantown for an extension
of the road, and all that remains to
be done is to get the right Of way
from Kingwood to Reedsyille, which
can be easily done at very reason
able figure. This extension will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. The broad guage road over
the old line is expected to be compile
ted by September Is, so that trains
can be then run, and the new part OF
the road it is expected will be built
by next spring. The new station is
right on the line of the extension,
and admirably located for the com
pany' use President Sturgiss spends
much Of his time giving the road his
personal supervision, and Mr.. j. Ami
Martin, the general superintendent,
is the right man for that place. His
personal energy has pushed the thing
to successful completion.
The Carnegie Oil Company. of
Pittsburg, represented bv II, IL.
Reed, has leased 500 acres Of land
near Reedsville, and expects to put
down well this season The com
pany has itself $4,000 acres of coal
land on its line The Pittsburg coal
operators were out over the line last
week, accompanied by Mr. George
w Morrison. They seemed very fa-
yorably impressed.
Messrs. Sturgiss and Martin prac-
tically own the railroad, and it will
not be long until they have a very
good thing of it. The people along
the line certainly ought to feel CRATE
full to Mr. Martin for bringing them
"out of the woods and developing
the country There is no richer
section anywhere.

Some people are always kicking
against boss in politics. They are
usually the ones who have tried to
boss and failed. Nothing can be
accomplished either in business or
politics without a head. You NAV
call it by whatever name you please,
but there must be power some
where to organize the forces and see
that the details are properly carried
out. None of our great business
houses could survive year without
a head to manage its affairs and di-
rect every detail. 1t is equally as
true in politics. No party can sue
seed without organization and or
ganization can not be made without
head. The people are always right,
is maxim as old as our Govern
ment, and in the main it is true. but
the voters, no matter how good may
be their intentions, can not accom-
plish anything without organization,
can not achieve any great victory
without an agreement upon certain
laws of policy, and a United and
harmonious effort to carry them out.
1t is the boss in politics that organ
ICES the forces, puts the most trust
ed lieutenants in command, and
shapes the issues along the lines of
the established usages of the party
and in accordance with its declared
principles. Bosses often become ar
rogant, assume too much power, and
regard the party as their private
property, and to this abuse of power
every liberty loving citizen COM
plains, but to the boss pure and sim
pie, one who carries out his legiti-
mate duties, there can be no obiec-
ton. The trouble with the Democ-
racy of West Virginia is that it
hasn't boss big enough to com
mand the situation, nor broad
enough to manage the party affairs
in manner so as to retain the loyal
support of the party workers.-In-

When Democracy Dies.

After the republican tidal wave
had swept over the country last fall
which was as much a surprise to the
republicans as it was to the demo
Gratis, the former freely predicted the
demise of the democratic party. But
these predictions were as ridiculous
as they were unfounded and the
story of its life and the time of its
death is neatly told by the Creston
Iowa, Advertiser.
When the lion eats grass like the OK,
And the fishworm swallows the whale
When the robins knit wooden socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail
When seaserpents walk upright like men
And doodle-bugs travel like frogs;
When grasshoppers feed like the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost on trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer
And go to preaching on time;
When billy-goats butt from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When humming birds bray like an ass,
And limberger smells like cologne
When plowshares are made out of glass,
And the hearts of true Texans of stone
When ideas grow in Populists' heads,
And the wool on the hydraulic ram
Then the Democratic party will be dead,
Andthe country won t be worth d--n.

MISUSE OF A PASS
Gets Naval Lieutenant's Wife into Lots
of Trouble,

SAN Francisco, Aug. ga naval
lientaHant of the receiving ship
Franklja at Norfolk Navy yard is in
trou6}u over the thrifty arrange
ments which he made for his wife s
economical trip to the East from
this city. He was recently detailed
to duty on this coast, and came out
here with his wife on a pass furnish
ed by the Santa Fe company from
Chicago to Mohave, Cal Last week
his wife had to return. She had a
pass from this city to Mohave, but
arrangements were made with a
ticket scalper to furnish her with a
temporary husband for the overland
journey, WHO in consideration for
his free transportation, agreed to
pay for the lady's meals and sleep
ing car accommodations.
In some way the Santa Fe officials
learned of the deception. The real
lieutenant is an Ohioan, with thin
features, spare figure and iron gray
hair. The bogus lieutenant engaged
for the trip was big fat Jew with
curly black hair.
Soon after the train left Mohave
the couple received a shock when
the conductor declared their pass
void and took it up. The. lady was
in terrible plight, as the conductor
threatened to off put her in thedesert.
She finally ,pawned her jewelry for
the $40 required to reach Albuquer-
que. Her companion had only enough
to pay his fare and buy meals.
Arriving at Albuquerque, The lady
was forced to pawn the remainder of
her valuables including her watch,
to raise the $43 necessary for her
fare to Chicago. Her companion was
left stranded in Albuquerque, with
25 cents for living expenses. The
case excited much attention on the
road, and both the lieutenant and
the ticket scalper who arranged the
deception will be likely to wish they
had not devised the scheme
