The greatest test of character is to be

traordinary. 1t is easier for soldier to
be faithful in the rush OF battle, when
sustained by a catching enthusiasm, than
principle under the many trials OF daily
drill.

Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-09-28

A few days ago the Review men
toned the fact that the Board of
Trade of the city had received
proposition from a Mr.. Hastings.
who is patentee of special pro-
cess of making steel, to locate a
plant in this city. About Eve years
ago, as near as the writer remem-
bers, the Board of Trade of Sisters
vile received a similar offer from
the same gentleman and the matter
went so far that for some weeks it
looked very much as though the
steel plant was certainty.
That Mr.. Hastings has process
that is vastly superior to the many
that are in vogue at the present
time is conceded without the least
doubt, and, again, that Sistersville
could get along very nicely with
two or three good manufacturing
plants is also conceded, and the
Board of trade should make an eff
fort to have something of the kind
erected here.
1t was simply case ofnegligence
few years ago that the process of
Mr.. Hastings was not given a trial
here. There was plenty of money
in the city at the time awaiting In
vestment and had the members Of
the Board of Trade taken hold of
the the matter in the proper spirit
there is not the least doubt but that
it would have went through and
today Sistersville would have had
fne steel plant and probably sever
al other manufacturing concerns,
for, as soon as one mandatory Is
located in a city, others are sure to
follow.
No one disputes the fact, or the
assertion that Sistersville needs
something of this kind. There IS
not city, town or village in the
country that does not need these
things. Sistersville has all the
railroad advantages necessary and
with q little push and hustle some
OF the "good-thing" manufacturing
plants could be landed here.

A Girl on the Late War.

The girls can not vote, but they
can express their opinions, and this
is just what the majority Of them
are doing-on the war.
One young lady who lives II
Baltimore, at the beginning of the
recent war with Spain, was ex'
ceedingly fond of Mckinley and
the whole administration, and SC
expressed herself several months
ago in a communication to one o.
the leading dailies. This same bright
girl, in letter to a friend in this
city, makes the following remarks
which are significant in view of hel
previous position, and are interest
ing as going to show how the femi
nine part Of the universe IS looking
at the situation:
"Just think, the war is over, ant
we have two white elephants on
our hands, and halt Our troops in
state of wreck as a result. What
perfect specimen that Alger is. dc
hope that much talked Of investiga
ton will take place, and 1e thorough
one, and that he will have a little
song and dance to do. When one
reads of the treatment in camp and
hospital of the soldiers, from care
lessness, it makes ones blood boil
One minute red tape enough tc
wrap the earth up in, and the next
none at all. I am so bitterly dis
appointed in Mckinley. Think of
man in his responsible position be-
ing so utterly governed by politics
and politics only, in his selection
of men for positions like that o.
Secretary of War, and so on. Think
of there Election on the government
when a country like ours, so rich ii
everything, allows its army to die
like pigs from neglect and starva
ton and unnecessary diseases, and
coddles and fattens aud makes
much of its prisoners of war. The
people here made perfect fools O.
themselves over those Spanish
prisoners when they passed through

WHO rs THIS PARTY.
A Supposed sistersville Young Man
Abandoned I'm a wheeling Hospital.

A Supposed sistersville Young Man
Abandoned in wheeling Hospital.
A pitiable case of desertion came
under the notice OF the police au-
thorities yesterday, says the Wheel.
ing Intelligencer. 1t was that of a
young man, both an imbecile and
an invalid, who had been left at
Haskins' hospital, Monday night,
by party of strangers, who said
they would call at the hospital on
the following morning and arrange
the details for his treatment there.
DIR. Haskins was not at home
when the party deposited their hui
man burden and he discovered the
next morning that he had a fit OBJ
iect for ar insane asylum on his
hands. Thd men who promised to
call didn't show up, nor have they
done so since, consequently Officer
Dudley and Meyer were called on
to remove the demented young
man to the county Jail, lunacy
warrant having been procured from
Squire Fitzpatrick.
The young man is about twenty
FIVE years of age, and physically is
a shadow of his former self. His
name is unknown, but the hack
driver who carried him to the hos
pital, says he came from Sistersville.
There is nothing known concerning
him or his relatives, so it looks as
though he was brought to Wheel
ing and abandoned. The standard
appellation of John Smith was
given him in preparing the warrant.

A. J. Ransom is responsible for
the statement that a migration of
snakes from Indiana to Westmore-
land county is taking place. He
insists that a few days ago train
crossing the Cokeville bridge killed
at least As blacksnakes, all of which
were crossing over into the above
named county. He continues the
story by telling that they were
crawling along the rail in single
file so that it seemed that one mon
ster serpent was moving along, aud
that when the engineer saw the
awful sight ahead OF him he gave
the machine two more notches of
the throttle, came to Blairsville at
the rate of 90 miles an hour, and
delayed his train here long enough
to hunt up squire and swear off
for a year.-Blairsville Courier.

SETTLING THE DUST,
The Ohio River Railroad Oil Car Out
on the Line.

Recently we mentioned the fact
that Gen. Manager Burt, of the O.
R. R. had determined to sprinkle
the bed of the railway with crude
oil for the purpose of settling the
dust.
A special car of 5000 gallons
capacity with a sprinkling ap-
paratus was constructed and Mon,
day morning tank of crude oil
was procured from the Standard
Oil company and the contents trans
ferred to the o. R. R. oil car. This
car was sent out on the north end
of the road Monday afternoon and
it was found that it required 1900
gallons of oil per mile. The oil is
sprinkled between the tracks and
seven feet on either side. We are
informed that one sprinkling year
is all that is necessary. 1t not only
efectually lays the dust but it also
kills the weeds along the banks, and
also preserves the ties.
The car will be sent over the en-
tire line and it will be several days
before the sprinkling is completed.

WILLIAM WHITING TALKS.
Tell How He Found the Body of Geo.
Waters.

Waters.
William Whiting, of Mile run,
who was the fortunate man to find
the missing body of George R.
Waters, and who will receive the
reward of four hundred dollars of.
fered by the friends of the deceased,
as detailed in the Register of yes
terday, was caller at the Register
office today. When asked to tell
the story of his trip for watermel-
ons, and the details of the finding
of the body, Mr.. Whiting said: II
want to place the credit of the
finding OF Waters partly on the
Register, for it was there got my
information of the strange disap
pearance Of the missing man, and
read the full account of it the night
before. l had been contemplating
a trip down the river after load of
watermelons, and, after reading the
article and deciding in my own
mind that he was probably in the
river,I decided to 60 Tuesday morn
ing.
81 took my niece and we kept a
close lookout along the shore, not
thinking he would be floating yet,
but perhaps be close enough to
shore to be above water. I had just
before the finding stopped rowing
and took a look all around over the
river and shore, but had just com
menced rowing again when my
niece saw the body come to the
surface of the water and called my
attention to it. 1t was floating low
and acted as if it had cone to the
top more from a current that was
there than from its own inclination,
and fearing that it would again
sink I rowed hard to get it, after
which I took it to shore, tied a rope
about the body and left it in charge
of my niece while 1 went direct to
Parkersburg and to the Jackson,
having read in the Register that the
wife and her mother were stopping
there" .-
Mr.. Whiting belongs to family
of life savers or body finders, and it
has been on numerous times in the
past that different members, who
are about the water a good deal,
have not only found bodies of per
sons who had been drowned at other
points, but have saved, the lives of
persons who had fallen into the
river. They are all good swim
,mers and divers.
Mr.. Whiting informs us of a fea-
ture of the finding omitted, yester-
day and that was that one of the
pants legs was rolled up a consider
able distance when the body was
found. 1t is Mr.. Writings theory
that Mr.. Waters attempted to wade
the wing dam and coming to one
of the several shoots, found deep
water and was taken down, prob
ably falling on some stones and
having the breath knocked out of
him it rendering him a semi.un-
conscious condition, long enough
to cause his drowning.
In connection with this drowning
we recall the drowning on June 2S,
1896, OF Robert Waters, at New
Matamoras, and the finding, July
2nd, of his body at the Harmar
landing, by some fishermen from
Mile Run. The boy was seventeen
years of age and is believed to have
been relative ofGeorge R. Waters
who was drowned Saturday, as he
was known to have we'll to do rel
atives in Pittsburg.-Marietta Reg
