Cant Afford to Do 1t.

1t seems that that the petition
said to be in circulation among the
members of the Legislature calling
an extra session of that body this
winter is not likely to receive the re-
quired number of signatures. A
large number are unfavorable to the
proposition on the ground that there
is no urgent necessity for an extra
session, and in this a majority of the
people agree with them Judging from
the expressions of the press through
out the state, which fairly reflects
public sentiment.
The Intelligencer does not believe
that il is the part of wisdom to call
the legislature together. Members
should carefully count the cost be
fore attaching their signatures to
the petition. From a political stand
point it is a move which the Intelli-
gencer does not believe the Republi-
can members can afford to take
InteIigencer.

Blrds.eye view of Morgantowp,

Messrs. L. M. Fowler and James
b. Meyer, publishers of photographic
work have Just completed pencil
sketch birds eye view of Morgan
town. 1t is taken from high point
north of town and shows the place
with great accuracy and much
more comprehensive scale than ever
before attempted. Every building
can be identified. The court house,
the churches, the university, the
factories, and in fact even as far
south as the Pump Station show
up splendidly. The size Of the pic
ture is 20x30 and it is certainly very
handsome. Mr.. Meyer is now tax
ing orders for this valuable picture
and none of our citizens will want
to miss it if they first see one. Only
the number ordered will be printed.
See Mr.. Meyer and leave your order.

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase IN the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and etrong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, ard the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
proniscuously, and as 50 many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, 1t is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even ii
successful.
It Is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance OF
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gica1 operation is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

UNCLE SAM.
Taking An Inventory OF The Cash In
The Treasury.

The count of money in the vaults
of the Treasury at Washington is still
in progress and will not be finished
for several weeks. The unusually long
time occupied in the count Is due to
the cautiousness OF Treasurer Roberts.
In all previous counts the money has
been weighed in bags there being
/ 200 dollars in each bag. Tive tests
would be applied to these bags, de-
pending on whether the dollars were
new or had been used. A bag of /, 900
new and unused dollars weighs about
fifty eight pounds and fifteen ounces.
A bag of badly used dollars weighs
about fifty eight pounds and nine or
ten ounces, difference of SO or ST.
Counting this way, the count did not
take so long, but Treasurer Roberts
has insisted that in one of the vaults
in which the old silver dollars are
stored each dollar shall be counted.
This is now being done, and the
tinkle of silver dollars is heard for
many feet throughout the Treasury
Twenty one young women have
been assigned to this count. In the
vault which held the new silver doll
lars the count was made in the reg
gular way, and the gold in the vault
will be counted by weight.

BELLE FREELAND
Creates Another Big Sensation
in Preston.
Kidnaps Her Child the Same Day she
was Released from the Pen.

KINGwooD, W. Va, October T.
One of the handsomest women in
West Virginia ended her term in
the State Penitentiary yesterday and
within "a hours after gaining her
freedom caused hersclfto be pursued
by officers of the law. 1t was Belle
Albright, better known as Belle
Freeland, who was sent 10 the peni-
Tertiary two years ago for raising
two-dollar bills to twenties. This
woman gained considerable notorie-
ty at Chicago during the World 5
Fair.
She and her husband passed hun
dreds of dollars of raised bills in
Chicago, and were sent from Cook
county to the penitentiary at Joliet.
Her family connections in this coun-
ty are the very best, and after the
birth of eBild in prison her friends
petitioned President Cleveland and
secured her pardon. Soon after
coming here at Terra Alta, this
county, she flooded all the large
near-b by towns with raised bills, and
was again detected and sent to the
State Penitentiary. Her work was
very skillfully executed, and the
method is only known to herself.
While she was confined in prison her
husband secured a divorce and the
custody of their child.
Mrs. Freeland went to the home OF
her husbands parents this morning
and carried off the child. The cries
of the little boy attracted the atten-
tion of his grandmother. who ran to
his aid, and scuffle ensued. Mrs.
Belle being younger and stronger,
succeeded in getting away with the
child and took it to her brothers.
A warrant was Immediately issued
for the arrest of the woman, and
Special Constable Jos. Graham made
the arrest shortly after noon. The
trial occurred before Mayor Picking,
who after hearing the evidence OF
several witnesses held Mrs. Freeland
in the sum of $500 for her appear
ance at court, and delivered the
child back into the custody Of its
grandparents. The woman gave
bond for her appearance She is as
handsome as ever and entirely
unchanged by her incarceration in
the state penitentiary.

The janitor's force at the State
House, and Others who had unpaid
claims against the state, were made
happy yesterday by the auditors de-
cision. For some time it has been a
question with Auditor Lafollette
whether bills made in the fiscal year
which ended September 30, and which
remained unpaid by reason of the ex-
haustion of the funds from which
they should be paid, could be paid out
of the appropriation for the year
which ends Sept. 80, 1S9S-in other
words whether one years appropria-
tion could be made to cover another
years accounts.
Three of the funds were exhausted
before the end Of the year-the gov
ernor's contingent fund and the funds
for paying mileage of the supreme
court and circuit judges. The ex-
penses to be paid from the Governors
contingent fund considerably overran
the appropriation, and have been held
up until the current years appropria-

cases where not expressly prohibited
by law, the appropriations for two
years might be taken as whole and
the expenses of either year paid out of
the amount appropriated for the two
years.
AS a result of this decision, num-

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father Of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes ::
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, q small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. 1t
gave him a great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was trested by
several good doctors, who said l. had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
CATER much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
severe one, but thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific, and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, for he Is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"

such a proposition one moment and see
how impossible to answer.
The worst cases of failure in medical
