intelligent Legislature, upon examination
of the circular, is very apparent. In

comparison. A sworn certificate from
the Register of Deeds office of Wake
county. regarding the contract prices at
the adoption in 1896, shows the contract
prices of Johnson's lees histories to be
80 cents and S1.50. respectively. Again,
The contract prices show the aggregate
cost of the series of readers adopted to
be S202. whereas Johnson makes it APP
pear to be S2.42 Would fair people do
this? If concern would deliberately
attempt to deceive in this manner, what
right have they to expect your conf

believing any of his generalties?
Johnson's parallel maker would deceive
you into believing that his grammars

Arrested on SUSPICION.

Friday night when Chief Cook, OF
Parkersburg, was in the city, he re-
ported the burglary of jewelry store
in that city and stated that number
of rings had been taken. He asked
the police to be on the lookout for the
burglars.
Last night Officer Ray found two
suspicious looking characters trying to
dispose of some rings to pedestrians on
Front street, and he promptly took
them in charge.
They said they came from Parkers-
ourg and told Officer Ray that the
rings they had were fake goods, cost
ing $3.50 per dozen. Officer Ray took
the fellows to the lookup and then had
the rings examined by jeweler, who
pronounced them gold filled rings.
1t is possible that the two men are
the Parkersburg burglars.
When seen at the lookup, the boys
said that their names were c. G. Con-
ant and George White, from Bridge
port, Ala, and Michigan, respectively
They said that they were hunting work
and were selling jewelry to pay ex-
penses.

The Marion Street School
Building.

The carpenters and finlshers are
very busy at work on the Marion
street school building and it is prob
able that it will be ready for occupancy
by January Is at the latest.
In making their plans for this build
ing, the School Board made special eff
fort to secure the best and latest in the
construction and equipment of such a
building and those plans are being car
ried out in a manner highly satlsfact-
ory to the Board and all concerned.
In the selection of seats, the method
of lighting and ventilation and in ev-
eryth,lng relating to the health and
comfort of those who will occupy the
the building, the best methods have
been employed.
The cost of the building and equip
ment, 1T Is thought, will not reach the
amount, $4,000. estimated by the
Board, and this also gives satisfaction.
Arrangements will soon be made for
appropriate exercises on the occasion
of the dedication of the building.

Burglar Scare.

About midnight last night, Miss
Name Blleford, who lives on Third
street, near Church, awakened the
nelghbors by loud screams. She was
at an upstairs window and told the
neighbors that there we're burglars in
the house. Some one ran to the Mari
etta Transfer Office and telephoned for
the police, who went down on the run.
In the meantime, John Dye, who
lives next door to Miss Elleford, had
discovered a drunk man on the porch
of the house and as soon as 0fficer
Coffman arrived the fellow was turned
over to him and taken to the lookup.
He gave the name of ]. w. Ryan.
About the time that the officers ar
rived at the Transfer office a call from
the Union Depot restaurant took Of
ffcer Posey and Watchman Mattern
there, where William Covey was trying
to get into the kitchen. He was also
taken to the lookup.
Beyond these two half-frozen specl-
mems, the so-called burglars failed to
materlalize,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Catarrh) that cannot Oe cured by

Resolutions.
seem.

At called meeting of the Marietta
City Medical Society and the Washing
ton County Medical Society, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed.
We are called upon to pay tribute to
the memory of our friend and col
league Doctor Charles T. Waters, who
died Dec. 10, 1899. DIR. Waters was an
earnest, conscientious practician Of
general medicine. He had enjoyed and
well improved excellent advantages in
his preparation for practice and his
equipment In general entitled him to
high standing. He was enthusiastic,
but considerate; he was Jealous but
practical. His manner was affable and
cordial, leading to universal friendly
response. The doctor was an active
member Of the National, the Ohio
State, the Washington County and
Marietta City Medical Societies, also
City Health Officer and Clerk of the
Board of Health. He was President
of the Washington County Medical So
ciety. He was a native of Marietta
and unmarried.
While taking official cognizance of
the decease of DR.. Waters, the express
sion of sorrow of this Society is heart
felt and earnest, and in this spirit we
offer coincidence to the mother and rel
atlves in their bereavement.

Beautiful Pictures.

In all, 247 pictures have been re-
ceived to be placed on exhibition at the
Marietta Camera Clubs Salon, Janu-
airy 4 and 5. OF this number 1876 were
received from local talent and the re-
mainder from foreign people. Some of
the foreign pictures have received
prizes at exhibitions in the east and
are well worthy the inspection of art
loving Marlettans.
The pictures received cover wide
range of subjects and the talent dis
played in the choice of subject and in
the finishing of the pictures is indeed
wonderful
Work was commenced last night in
preparing a catalogue of the pictures
and everything will be in readiness by
the appointed time.

BRIDGE
Across the Ohio at Marietta is Pos
sible, New Railroad Company
Incorporated,

Parkersburg, W. Va, Dec. 30.-A
charter was granted by the Secretary
Of State of West Virginia today to the
Marietta Parkersburg & Summerville
Railway Co., with a capitalization
OF $4,000 with privilege Of increasing
to $5,OO0,000. The incorporators are
William r. Ryan and William We'll, of
Cleveland, Ohio, and Lysander Dudley
T. l.. Shields and T. F. Bayard, of this
city.
The company proposes to build a
line from Willlamstown to Parkers-
burg, thence take the Little Kanawha
tracks to the mouth of Reedy Creek,
thence to Spencer, in Roane county,
and on to Summerville. in Nicholas
county.
The gentlemen interested in the en-
terprlse hove 10000 acres of coal and
timber land under lease near Summer
VILE and their object in building the
railroad is to get an outlet for the dis
posal of these products, especially to
the great lakes, which will be done by
the building OF bridge at Marietta
and arrangements for through connec-
tions to Cleveland. With such faclli-
ties the value of their coal and timber
lands would be increased tenfold.
The incorporators claim that they
mean business and that their line will
go through withoue fail.

From the above message 1t seems
that again, and from another source
entirely, comes the prospect Of bridge
across the Ohio. Judging from the
circumstances under which the comp
any Is organized and the financial
standing of the incorporators, there is
every probability that the line propos-
ed will be built and that Marietta s
chances for bridge across the Ohio
ere better than ever before.
The idea at first suggested is that
this is but another part of the plan
which the Pennsylvania people are
carrying out in reaching southwark for
share in the trade that is, sure to
come from the practically undeveloped
resources of West Virginia. Now that
they have possession Of the G. & NJ,
and as that line would almost neces-
sarily be chosen to complete the con-
nection of the proposed road with
Cleveland, 1T would seem that they
possibly had a hand in the deal.
Should such line go through, the
position Of Marietta, so far as CONNER
clal standing is concerned, would be
raised materially, as can readily be
seen.
