folly. What people must have suf-
fered in those days can scarcely be
imagined. They were bled, they were
cupped, they were leeched, they were
subjected to every device whereby
their vitality could be reduced and
their lives endangered. It is almost a
wonder that the race survived.
There has been an absolute revolu-
ton in the practice of medicine and in
the treatment Of human Ills Instead
OF undermining the vital forces by cup
ping and bleeding, the vitality is now
sustained in every possible manner.
Instead of tearing down we seek to
build up. Instead of increasing misery
we seek to create happiness.
But the greatest advancement in
medical science has been made by dis
covery.
Twenty years ago this great truth
was realized and the result was dis
coyery which has done. and is doing,
more to strengthen the vitality, lessen
suffering. preserve the health and
lengthen life than all the old prescrip-

COOPER STILL AT LARGE.
The Baldwin Terror Has Free Right of
Way in Monongalia County.


Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, October %
Fighting" Tom Cooper, the Baldwin
terror, has eluded the officers who went
out to arrest him yesterday. They had
definite and correct information as to
his whereabouts. He spent day or
so at Frank Robinson's, nine miles
from here, but concluded yesterday to
move on, and quietly pulled out. He
made no efforts to conceal his identity.
Yesterday morning Clark Wade met
him about four miles below here, near
Vaudeville. Cooper was dressed in cor
duroy with a blue sweater and was
very drunk. At Vaudeville he stop
ped and bought pair of shoes Here
he displayed a large roll to Smyth
Bros, and told them that he was the
head of party of hunters who were
going to the mountains for hunt.
Near Carmichaels, between Whitel-
sey and Muddy Greeks, he was
seen by D. L. .Donley, of Mt Morris.
Cooper was still going north and was
apparently retracing his former route.
Nothing has been heard of the Off
GERS except that they are camped in

Now Building Down the Cheat River VAL
ley-An Important Enterprise.
Special to the Register.
Morgantown, October ga tele-
phone message was received from
Kingwood this morning in reference to
the proposed Cheat River Railroad. A
large corps Of engineers are now at
Albrightsville, on Cheat River, a short
distance from Kingwood. There are
fifteen engineers in the party and they
are under the direction of J. ]. Jane
way, Of Greensburg, Pa. The corps be-
gan the survey at the terminus of the
Cheat Valley Railroad.
This road begins at Rowlesburg and
runs down the river for several miles,
and is now in operation, having been
constructed this summer. 1t is complet-
ed to within a mile of Towbridge's
ferry.
The new road begins at the terminus
Of this road and runs to Point Marion,
right down the river. Already this
sum mer there has been considerable
grading done on the road. Superinten-
dent of CONSTRUCTION H. F. Alwine, also
Of Greenaburg, is with the engineers.
He has had force of twenty-five men
working on the proposed line all sum-
mer aud several places have been
graded.
When seen the engineers were very
close mouthed and would give out but
little information. However, it is be-
lieved that the Guffys, of Pittsburg, are
behind the scheme and that the road
is being built to open up the large coal
fields now held by them along its
route. They have large areas of coal
and timber lands which are among the
richest in the State.
MIR. Alwine was interviewed and he
told the reporter that he, of course, did
not know when the road would be be-
gan in earnest, but said that as far as
indications went work would be begun
in a very short time. He stated that a
great deal of money had been spent on
the road this summer and that the en-
gineers are now engaged in making
a permanent location Of the road. He
gave it as his opinion that the road
would be built in very short time.
This is the first authentic informa-
ton that has been published concern
ing this road. 1t will tap one of the
richest sections Of the State and will
develop a region unsurpassed for min
eral and timber resources in the
Union. Cheat Valley has a grand fu-
ture before it and it will come in
very short time.

Our grandfathers were content to
travel in stage coaches, to live in
cabins and receive mail once a week.
We demand palace cars, tasteful homes
and daily communication with the
world. 1t is the rapld-transit age; the
age of the telegraph and telephone. A
man speaks to-day and the entire
world reads his words tomorrow
morning. There are but twenty-four
hours in the day, but forty-eight hours
are crowded into it.
We all know how we have advanced
materially. DO we realize how we
have advanced scientifically? More
than in any other manner Indeed, it
has been the advancement in science
which has caused the advancement in
material things. The discovery of
steam permitted the railroad and the
steamboat. The development in cleo
tricity made possible the telegraph
and the telephone, so that the develop
ment of the sciences has been the real
cause of all modern advancement.
We will take for example, one de-
partment Of science, but the most inn
portant department, one which affects
our very lives and happiness. Former

cantation, the same as it is by the
