IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE.

c. ID. & p. Telephone News Operators
are Oyrr Worked at Times-Cables a
Great Improvement-Wire Being
Insulated.
The G. d. & P. telephone exchange
has grown very great deal recently
and there are now over two hundred
phones in use in town. This makes
work on the operators hard when there
is but one at the switchboard and
there is usually great deal Of bust
ness going. People should bear in
mind that there several Others when
it comes to the phones and should not
raise too great kick when they ask
for central and do not get her right
away. She is attending to some one
who has rung up before you.
The cables are all in that are going
in just now. Others are needed in
town but they could not be obtained
and will have 10 be put in later. A
new switchboard that will allow an
operator to sit at one end of it and
plug in any place is to be set up here.
The old board in use now does not
admit Of this and the work is slow
with one operator.
The wires that have been taken
down in the central part of town on
account of the cables that have been
put In leave things looking much bet
ter. 1t would be a good thing If there
were cables all over town and the net
work of wires taken down. The wires
are now being insulated when they
leave the poles and future delays and
Inconvenience on account of crossing
wires will be avoided.

HURT ON JAKES RUN.
Since Then James Mitchell has Been
Dying By Inches.

TAYLoRTowN, Pa, Nov. 14.-The
strange case Of James Mitchell, who
has been dying by inches for several
weeks, is causing interest to medical
men. Mitchell is 20 years old, and
was employed as tooldresser in the
oil field. In July, 1897, he was work
ing on a tubing board at well near
Jakes Run, W. Va, and fell from
near the top of the derrick to the
ground. His back was broken in
three places and he was otherwise in
jured. He was taken to Pittsburg
hospital and three separate sections
of his backbone were taken out and
he began to recover. Several subse-
quent operations were performed, but
they afforded only temporary relief.
Mitchell's body from the waist up
is in healthy condition, but below
that the body is badly decomposed
some of the bones already being de-
cayed. Mitchell eats an ordinary
amount of food each day. He stub
bornly refuses any further medical
assistance, II such were possible. He
says he knows he cannot live long,
and is happy that death will claim
him in few days.

It's up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the cutlery against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny Of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
nave representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to. suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep-
tons. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 win end the era of
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the
Cincinnati Enquirer.

DIR. Alfred Edward Thayer, of
New York City, has been appointed
Professor of Pathology and Bacter
iology in the University and will be-
gin his work here the first of Janu-
AIRY at the opening of the Winter
Quarter.
DIR. Thayer was recommended
heartily for this position by the two
most eminent Psychologists in the
country, viz. Dr. William H. Welch
of Johns Hopkins University, and
DR.. T. Mitchell Prudden of Colum-
bia University, both of whom have
written the strongest possible rec
concentrations. DR.. rhayer is an

and Surgeons Columbia University,
studied two years in the Univer-
stiles OF Gottingten and Vienna, was
Fellow in Pathology Johns Hopkins
University for one year and taught
anatomy for some time at Yale
University Medical Department.
He is 81 years of age, married,
and member OF the Presbyterian
church.
Before going to the College of
Physicians and Surgeons he com
pleted his Junior year at Williams
college.
The Premedical Department is
now prepared to do the first two
years work of the regular medical
course as well as it can be done any
where in the country, specialists in
Zoology, Medical Chemistry, Botany,
Pastiology and Bacteriology having
been added to the teaching force
this year. The facilities for doing
the first half of a full medical course
are now really remarkable.

A part of this will be made up by the
students by subscription and it is to
be hoped that the alumni who are
friendly TO athletics will make some
contribution for this purpose.
There is an effort on foot to organ
ize a basket ball team. This is a
branch of college athletics that has

the fact that 1t is only in the last
year or two that the gymnasium has
been properly equipped and that the
game could be played.

many people in the United States.
A few scattering meteors were seen
but nothing like the grand shower
that had been expected. Probably it
is loafing around somewhere in space

The West Virginia Central, at the
head OF which are Hon. Henry G..
Davis and Senator Elkins, has been
trying for long time to secure con-
troll OF the Western Maryland road,
in order to give it an outlet 20 the
seaboard independent of the B. & o.,
which now carries most of the coal
mined along the W. Va, Central, and
it is probable that the syndicate which
is now after the road is one backed or
created by the W. Va, Central.
In recent interview Senator FL
kins has said that new railroad will
be built from Pittsburg up the Mon
ongahela river to Clarksburg. From
there road will be- built to connect
with the W. Va, Central and the
latter is to be extended to connection
with the Chesapeake & Ohio in poca-
hontas county. The connections are
all controlled by the Vanderbilt in
terest and it looks as though the Van
derbilt system with the West Virgin
ia Central would become formidable
rival for the B. g. o. not only In this
state but for thorough business.

WASHINGTON, September 9.-Gen-

the army, and also to hold them in
