the Petition.

A Railway Company Refuses to Sign
the Petition.
Wilton ]. Lambert, attorney for the es-
tate of James A. Brown, has entered a pro-
test to the District Commissioners against
the action of the assessor in refusing to
issue a liquor license to the heirs Of the
Brown estate, until the petition for the
license should be signed by the reprezen-
tative of the Pennsylvania Railway Com
pany, opposite whose station the saloon
where liquor is to be sold is situated.
The law requires that applications for
licenses shall be signed by majority Of
the residents on both sides Of the street
on the square in which the saloon is to be
located. The railroad company is the only
occupant of the side OF the street opposite
the Brown saloon, and the company re-
fuses to sign the petition. AS the depot
of the railway company is built on Gov
ernment reservation, Mr.. Lambert main
tains that the company's signature to the
paper is not necessary. The matter will
probably be referred to the Attorney for
District for an opinion.

Mr.. jackson brought down large

Chambcrlain Prophecy.

The slow progress being made
by the British army in the Trans.
vaal recalls something Josheph
Chamberlain said in speech in
the English House of Commons
May s, 1896. at that time there
was considerable South Africa war
talk on hand and Mr.. Chamberlain
was against the conflict. Here is
an abstract from his speech:
"a war in South Africa would
be one of the most serious wars
that could be waged. 1t would be
in the nature of civil war. l
would be long war, bitter and
a costly war. AS [ have pointed
out, it would leave behind it the
ombers of strife which [ believe
generations would hardly be long
enough to extinguish, To go to
war with President Kruger in or
der to force upon him reforms in
the internal affairs of his State,
with which successive Secretaries
of State standing in this place
have repudiated all right of inter
ference-that would have been a
course of action as immoral as it
would have been unwise."

A Dangerous Practice, (?)


Unless number of small child
rem who attend school at the new
building are careful it is only a
matter of short time until they
will be injured by cars on the cleo
trio line. This morning and in
fact it is daily occurrence, the
children play on the track and even
when they see the cars approach
ing. They also see how long they
can remain on the road and cause
the motorman all kinds of trouble.
One little chap to-day placed a
small stick on the rail and about
the time the car had reached the
spot undertook to remove it. It
was dangerous act and very near
ly resulted in the child being struck.
The children take very desperate
chances on matters of this nature
and parents should be advised of
their reckless actions.
1t is not exactly this way, but it
is the way it will read in Point
Pleasant after awhile.
