Railroad Mass Meeting,

The citizens OF West Union and
the people in general living along
the proposed route of the Electric
Railroad are invited TO attend a
mass meeting for the purpose OF
organizing a committee to meet and
confer with the ircorporators Of
said electric road or their commit
tee. Come out everybody and show
by your attendance that the inter-
est of the people are and will be
carefully looked after.
Judge R. H. Freer informs our
reporter that the incorporators Of
the proposed electric road will meet
at Middlebourne, on Jan. 2e to fur
ther complete their organization,
and after that date will arrange a
date at which time the citizens Of
West Union and all in the county
that are interested may confer with
the incorporators of the proposed
road or their committee.
We would again urge the busi-
ness men of this city and the peo-
pie of the county generally to push
this matter with zeal and energy as
it is the brightest and best opening
this county and city has had for
years to improve the business In
terests of our county in general.
Farmers, laboring masses and busi-
ness men in general should do all
in their power toward making the
prize secure for West Union and
her people.-Doddridge County

ON THE RIGHT TRACK
Yardmaster Quinn, of the O.
r. r. R., Has a Novel
Experience.

For many years Mr.. A. M.
Gwinn, of 1916 Swan street, Par
kersburg, has been car inspector
on the o. R. R. r. About the por-
ton of the road which Mr.. Gwinn
has especially in his charge, he was
the authority consulted and his
opinions were never questioned.
II any of the officials of the railroad
had Mr.. GRinn's work under ad-
verse criticism, we would expect
that gentleman to get behind 1t
with argument, reasoning and proof,
and do his best to substantiate his
position, but when he comes out
flat-footed and endorses a medicinal
preparation in which he has neither
monetary interests at stake or any
personal interest, we are bound to
accept his opinions. Often as he
walked up and down the network
of tracks in the railroad yard, often
as he watched the brakeman turn
over a switch and some engine
which threatened to telescope a
train glided gracefully out of the
way of danger, he wished he could
get as easily on the right track him
self to cure his aching back. Per-
haps the reader may have just as
anxiously longed for this valuable
information. Read how Mr.. Gwinn
proceeded and the same result will
follow:
"a friend advised me to use
Doan's Kidney Pills for a kidney
trouble that bothered me for two
years, causing dull, aching pain
across the loins. Twinges when
STOPPING or doing anything that
caused strain OH the hack. AT
times it was dreadful ahd accom-
panying it was a distressing and an

venient at night. One remedy was

so as 1 was becoming worse instead
of better, I took my friends advice
and bought Doan's Kidney Pills. /
had no trouble to take them. They
were prompt in giving relief. The
first few doses made an improve
ment and finally the trouble disap-
peared. l advise others to give
them fair trial if they have trouble

vance OF 14c. per share over yes
terday's quotation. The Standard
Oil company controls the petroleum
markets of the world and as long a:
they can keep the price of the best
oil in the world at IS cents per bar
rel the prospect will be excellent fol
increasing their surplus cash hold,
ings and paying the usual 80 to &c
per cent. annual dividends. The
independent refners and oil pro
ducers are making strong efforts tc
break the monopoly's hold on the
business by maintaining competi
ton and are paying 7oc per barrel
for Pennsylvania crude oil.
The natural decline in the pro
duction of the old wells and the
more recent shipments are not being
overcome by new developments OF
more large strikes in old territory.
On the contrary there is general
decrease in new operations in the
pools, and producers feel that their
product is worth more money and
seem determined not to waste
money drilling for IS cent oil.
The daily runs of high grade oils
to January IS, indicate that there
will be a large decline in the daily
production for the month. The runs
average S2,249 barrels per day. The
shipments of Pennsylvania oil on
the other hand are increasing and
amounted to I2I 1913 barrels to Jan.
uary IS. averaging S9,I54 barrels
day to that date. The stocks of oil
may therefore be expected to de
cline over 100000 barrels for this
month.
The promoters of the pipe line
give it out today that the sale OF
stock in this city is exceeding their
most sanguine hopes. Persons who
had subscribed for certain amount
have returned to the solicitors and
doubled and even trebled the
amount originally subscribed.
One can easily see from the fig
ures given above that the price as
offered bynow the Standard is not
a logical one. 1t is only done to
make their dividend reach 80 and
40 per cent.
