Sistersville, w. Va, March THE

Dry, the young attorney, has been
placed. The other tickets are the Citi-
zens, with S. w. Lawrence at the head
and the Democratic ticket, with Louis
B. Hill leading. All of the candidates
for Mayor are good men and will make
a good run. The rest OF the tickets are
not of great deal Of consequence with
the exception of the city collector and
treasurer, and there are three men after
this Office with the outlook in favor of

Washington, March THE weather
bureau officials say that by tomorrow
a cold wave will cover the Atlantic
States. The temperature in Washing
ton will fall twelve or fourteen degrees
to about six above before tomorrow
morning, and north Of here the mer-
curry will fall from twenty to twenty
five degrees. 1t will not be any colder
in the South than it is now, and just
at present it is warmer in New England
than south of that section. Later in
the day, however, a decided change is
predicted throughout New England.
The weather will be very severe all
along the New Jersey and New Eng
land coast. Throughout the west it is
now exceedingly cold, the temperature
running little below zero, but it will
continue fair through the central por-
ton of the country and will warm up
a little tomorrow. Up in the north
ives. the mercury is rising rapidly, and
to-day stands % above in Montana. The
coolest place on record to-day is at
White River, Ontario, So degrees below,
and the lowest temperature in the
United States is s below at st. Paul,
Mimi, and La Crosse, Wis. The course
of the storm is very slow, but it is ex-
pected to disappear sometime tO-mor-
row or next day, like last months biz
card, off the coast of Labrador.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 7.-One of the
heaviest snow storms of the winter has
prevailed in this vicinity for the past
two days. 1t has showed almost con-

A fierce northwest gale has driven the
snow to the depth of three and four
feet in many places. During the early

viii Probably BE Moved to Some New
Location.
Scio, Ohio, March IA very serious
situation confrcnts Scio College and it
will be considered at meeting Of the
Board of Trustees held tomorrow. This
problem has existed ever since the in
cipiency of the oil boom, and has grad
ually grown worse until the trustees
and faculty recognized that something
must be done and very quickly, or the
college will go to pieces. With the ad-
vent of the Gil men, the citizens, who
had been boarding the students at mod
crate rates, forced the students out to
make room for higher priced boarders.
From town OF 1,5O0 persons Scio has
grown until there are now 1000 people
within her borders, and every house is
a boarding house. The male students
OF the college number $50 and only
about so are able to get boarding. The
question Of suspending for time or
moving elsewhere temporarily or per-
manently confronted them and will be
decided. Steubenville, Cambridge,
GAINESVILLE, Cadiz and New Philadel-
phia are making good sized offers for
the college, and almost daily delega-
tons from those places visit the COL
iege and hang cut hattering induce
ments. Another reason why there is
a desire to remove the college is on &C
count of the town bei~g wide open"
with gambling dens, speakeasies, and
ether forms Of wickedness going on
openly and increasing daily.

NEW RIFLE SIGHT.
Soon to Have Thorough Test In
San Antonio. Texas.

From the Springfield Republican.
The sight for the United States magazine
rifle recently completed at the local armory
by Lieut.. Dickson and later adopted by the
War Department. is soon TO be tested in
San Antonio, Texas, and later mauufac-
tured at the armory in this city. Lieut..
Dickson and two expert marksmen and
record-keeper from this city will leave next
week for Texas, and the test, which will be
on the target-grounds of the United States
arsenal at San Antonio, will continue for
several weeks. The new sight is known as
the model 1898 and is distinguished from
the sights now in use on the magazine
rifles by having wind gauge of proved
efficiency. The tests are designed by Lieut..
Col. Arnold to more accurately graduate
the sight. The graduation of the sight has
now been made as accurate as careful cal
culation can make it, but the lieutenant
colonel wishes to go beyond the possibility
of error. Five sights will be used on the
range, each at distances of from 800 to
1000 yards from the target. The exact
elevation of each sight at each distance
will be taken, and in case of variation the
average in each case Will determine the
proper graduation for the perfect sight
These tests, with results noted for each of
the nineteen target distances, will exactly
determine the shape of the curved base of
the sight and consequently the accuracy of
the sight at any given elevation.
Lieut.. Col. Arnold has already nearly
equipped plant at the local armory with
a capacity of 1900 of these sights each
day. AS soon as the sight is perfected by
the tests at San Antonio the local plant will
be started at once to its entire capacity
The sights now on the United States maya
zine rifles will be called in as rapidly as
the new ones can be made This will con-
tinue until the entire supply of magazine
rifles now in the hands of United States
troops is fitted with the new sight Lieut.
Dickson with his marksmen will probably
leave for the south early in the week The
time spent in the tests cannot be deter
mined yet. but it is expected to be several
weeks. The target tests are the final
touches in the completion of an unusually
complete and serviceable sight, and moth
ing will be allowed to mar the accuracy of
the graduation.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

In the House today the Senate amend
ments to the agricultural bill were nom
concurred In and the bill was sent to con-
ference. Messrs. Wadsworth On. ", War
ner Gl) and Williams (Miss.) were APP
pointed conferees.
Without further preliminary business the
House went into committee of the whole
and resumed consideration Of the sundry
civil bill
Mr. Mercer (Neb) and Mr.. Greene (Neb)
became engaged in a personal controversy
growing out of some remarks Mr. Greene
made a few days ago against the Blair
City public building bill Mr.. Mercer had
read at the clerks desk an article from a
kearney, Neb., paper, charging Mr.. Greene
with having purchased his seat in Con-
greSs.
MI Greene assailed Mr.. Mercer for hav-
ing read IAN old, threadbare, time-worn,
worm-eaten repudiated charge made by a
so-called democratic paper, which annually
sold out to the republicans"
MrMercer disclaimed any personal knowl-
edge of the facts in the article. He said he
SIMPLY quoted democratic authority. Mr..
Mercer attempted to show that Mr.. Greene
mad favored the Blair public building bill
IN committee of the, Whole, charge which
the latter emphaucaily denied.
In the end there was the usual recon-
citation and both members withdrew their
remarks from the Record

THE COUNTY ROADS.
Strong Efforts Being Made to Open


Traffic.
The District Commissioners have receiv-
ed information from the War Department
which encourages them to believe that they
will have the assistance of the United
States soldiers at Fort Myer and the Wash
ington barracks in opening the county
roads. AS was stated in The Star yester-
day, the Commissioners have received
many requests from people residing or hav-
ing business in the county and suburban
sections to open the roads. Capt. Beach, the
Engineer Commissioner, promptly did what
he could by directing that all the available
horses in his department be ridden along
the roads SO as to break paths at least
through them This morning it occurred to
his associates that it might be proper to
in the matter, and message was sent to a
War Department official asking if it would
be proper to make such a request. 1t is
understood that not only were the Commits
sioners assured that there would be no I'M
prOpriety in making such request, but
that they received information this after
noon that the assistant secretary of war
and Maj. Gen. Miles have directed the COM
manding officers at Fort Myer and the
Washington barracks to place their men at
the disposal of the Commissioners. If the
Commissioners receive official information
to this effect they will ask that the SOL
diers be mounted and directed to ride their
horses through the snow drifts in the roads
and in that way open them to travel

A WAR EAGLE.
Captured As FledSeIinG and Sent
Away Mascot.
From Forest and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
Last spring. when all the world was look
ing anXiously toward the American eagle
and her cause, two young eaglets were
Matched in a tall cypress tree on the edge
of a prairie about sixty miles from Kissim-
NEE. A native watched the site and one
day felled the tree. One eaelet gave up its
life the other was found alive. The man
brought 1t to town in OK team, and on
its arrival 1t was barely breathing. 1t was
quickly given beef and water. and while
the poor thing could not support its head
from extreme weakness, it showed its ap-
probation by giving forth gurging sound.
1t soon learned to drink water from
spoon, then a cup and within a couple of
days could sit up. The bird slept great
deal, resting fiat on the ground, with wings
slightly spread and his head lying to one
SIDE. This at first we supposed was from
extreme weakness, but he continued this
using the perch between times, when he
would apparently be in deep study, but
not asleep.
What an immense bird he was, and what
sweep of wings he hadi In color he was
almost black, the luster of his feathers
being exquisite. His beak was black his
feet and legs yellow, while his dark brown
eyes were the perfection of beauty in their
wondrouS way of changing. During his
short stay he was gently cared for that
he learned no antipathy for anything, al
though his eye would scan closely the kit
ten and dog as they. innocent of the dormant
strength that lay beyond those talons
stood by while the bird devoured his fish
or beef. At first the eagle was so ravenous
that he swallowed his food in great pieces
eating the sinew and fat of the beef but
later, placing his powerful taIons upon the
fish or beef, he would raise his wings draw
his body up from the food and proceed
leisurely to tear it into shreds feeding a.
daintily as a squirrel, but leaving all the
sinew and fat. The man who captured the
eagle said on the ground beneath the nest
was the refuse of fish and other prey MAX
ing an odor that was far from agreeable
The strength and beauty of this king of
birds grew on us daily, but as he could
serve his country better as a mascot for
the army, we parted with him, but the
memory of his departure is still fresh re-
calling picture full of pathos 1t was
night, and the eagle had been put into a
box for shipment; the wagon stood waiting;
as 1t moved off the Gagged bird peered out
and that last lingering look from his eve
expressed rebuke, sorrow and longing: he
gave forth low. gIrgiing note, as if plead
ing to be allowed to remain: he left a wo-
man standing by the gate with tear-be-
dimmed eyes and a strangely pulsing heart
but he taught US that the more we study
these creatures, less godlike than ourselves
the more We feel an indulgent care and
kindly sympathy for them
