The rumors Of bribery in connection
with the senatorial contest before the
recent Legislature are now being in
vestigated by the attorney general. 1t
need not prove surprising if they are
also presented to the grand juries of
the respective counties, at the coming
terms Of the General Sessions Courts.

The guilty parties need not try TO
ease their minds with the reflection
that the turmoil created by the recent
scandals over the senatorial contest
twill soon blow over" There is going
to be an investigation, and, from pres
ent indications, it will reach clear to
the bottom, no matter what reputa-
tions may be sullied thereby.

MASS OF MISREPRESENTATION
Ihduigcd in by the Evening Sheet
Gas Board the Target.

Ihduigcd fri by the Evening Sheet.
Gas Board the Target.
The evening paper In its issue yester-
day INDUCES In L mass Of mlsrepresen-
tation with the city gas board as Its
target. 1t alleges that the board enter
ed into 4 contract with Henry Floor
sheim. the Finlcyvllle coal operator, for
gas works coal ut q cost of $1,000 in ex-
cess Of bids submitted by two West
Virginia companies, the Monorgah and
Hutchinson companies, Of the Fairmont
district. There Is no foundation for
such q charge. for the simple reason
that neither company mentioned, nor
any other Fairmont operator, entered u
bid-the evening sheet to the contrary
notwithstanding. Aside from this fact,
the evening sheet was woefully ignorant
In not knowing that the Fairmont COM
panles could not enter u bid il they de-
sired to do so, for the reason that the
gas board contracts specify union
mined coal. Representatives OF the
Fairmont companies examined the spec
iflcations Of the gas board coal contract,
and doubtless did not enter bid on ac-
count Of the clause referred to above.
In other particulars the story OF the
evening paper was remarkable for its
untruthful statements, and according
to its own figures the saving TO the city
II Il contract had been entered into with
the Falrmont operator at the price he
is alleged TO have offered (Which he did
noO, would not have been $4,000, but
nearly $1,000 less than that figure.
Naturally the gas board officials were
Indignant over the remarkable publca-
ton OF the evening paper. which has
promised Secretary Schul to retract its
baseless and sensational charges.

A CONDUCTOR

On the Illinois Central Railroad had
to Give mp his Position-It is n Sad
Story we Publish That Wheeling
People may Profit by Mr.. Bccbe's
Experience.
This Is the story of an ex-conductor.
MIR. w. R. Beebe, age CT years, who
now has prosperous grocery business
In Centralla, Ill. Here Is what he says:
Il was for twenty years conductor on
the Illinois Central railroad. The
movement and joltins OF the cars In
jured my back and kidneys. Five years
ago l was compelled to give up good
position as conductor on account of my
condition. My kidneys were SO bad
that l would have to sc, up as often
as 4 dozen times in one night to urinate,
and 1t was attended sometimes with
pain. The discharge was always ex-
cesslVe. ! had 4 severe pain in my
mead. and at times 1t would ache mo
SO badly l would not rest, but would
walk the floor and hold, sometimes hot
and sometimes cold, applications TO- 1t.
My back was so lame that in arising
from n chair / would have to help and
then could only get up 4 part OF the
way ut 4 time. 1t would often take
from three 10 ten minutes to straighten
up and then always very painful. Ny
feet and hands were always cold, win
ter and summer; they would feel warm
sometimes TO others, but to me they
were always very cold Ny feet and
ankles would often swell, sometimes so
bad could not wear my shoes. NV
eyesight was very poor and l had to
have three pairs of glasses for different
distances and purposes. During all
these years l was doctorinE with this
doctor and then another, but was get
ting worse instead OF better. I also
took several kinds of patent medicines
but nothing did any good. l read about
Morrow's kid-ne- ODDS and got n box
and took one after each meal for n few
days and then took two after each meal.
began gradually to get better. l do
not have to get up now; the pain In nv
back Is about all gone and my feet have
quilt swelling and my eyesIght is better
They are curing me as fast as could
expect them to and am satisfied that
| will be well again in n few weeks. l
have only been taking them about three
weeks"

TURNED 1T DOWN.
Council Committee on Health Dc.
cidcs to Rebuild Crcmatory,
UNITED STATES FERTILIZER co.
Made Proposition, but tho Commit
tee Felt That it Wanted too Much
Money, and Passed Resolution
Asking Council to Appropriate
$4,000 to Rebuild the City
Crcmatory.

Last night there was meeting OF the
council committee on health. attended
by Chairman Waterhouse, Messrs. Mey-
or, Beckett and Williams, City Solicitor
Nesbtt and City Health officer Jepson,
at which the city crematory question
was discussed.
President r. X. Giffen, Of the United
States Fertilizer Company, was present,
and restated the proposition of his COM
pany, which was that 1t would occupy
the hilltop crcmatory site, erect one Of
Its reducing plants and consume the
city garbage as delivered to 1t by the
collector for $4,000 per year. :
City Health officer Jcpson addressed
the committee. stating that the crema-
tory plant is in deplorable condition,
and must be practically rebuilt and
added to in order to increase its capacI-
ty to the point Of meeting the demands
made upon it, He understood that the
cost Of the necessary repairs and addl-
tfons have been estimated at $500.
These repairs. he said. should have
been made two years ago.
Mr.. Giffen said he thought his COM
pany's lowest bid for the contract
would be $4,000. but that II he could Sc
cure contemplated site on the PENN
sula, the old stone quarry, near the
cemetery, where the hauling would not
be so expensive, the contract would be
entered into by.'his people for $1,000 q
year.
The members Of the committee were
evidently not impressed with the figures
submitted by Mr.. Glffen, for after his
departure. n resolution introduced by
Mr.. Williams. calling for an extra ap-
preparation by council Of $4,000 for re-
pairing and adding to the present city
crematory, was passed without opposl-
ton. The city solicitor was instructed
to prepare an ordinance to that effect
to be presented at the meeting Of coun-
Gil next Tuesday night.

Prosperity ut Benwood.

Prosperity appears to be hitting Ben
wood pretty good lick lately. With
an average advance of 10 per cent in
wages at the Riverside, in all depart
ments, to take effect Monday, there
comes the tidings of an increase at the
Wheeling steel works. Yesterday
morning the laborers employed in the
pudding and plate mills, at this plant.
were notified BY the management that
beginning on Monday their wages
would hereafter be 81 So day instead
Of 81 %.
This raise applies only to the laborers
In the plate and pudding mills. and
does not concern the steel mill. As
previously stated, the steel workers and
the!c laborers have requested an in
crease. concerning which Manager C.
r. Hubbard has not yet replied. as three
weeks Will ensue yet before the expira-
t!on OF the thirty days notice given.
The Increase given yesterday was unso-
lic!ted and therefore all the more cor
daily welcomed. 1t Is always an en-
couraginE Sign when the wages of un-
skilled labor Is increased, and it re-
fleets credit on the generosity OF the
Wheeling Steel & Iron Company.
