PETITIONS OUT.
Kingwood and Morgantown
Railroad Bond Questions
up Again

signatures are again Being Secured
Three fifths OF the Voters in this Dis
trict Wanted on tue petiti0as-It Is
thought that there will be Little
Trouble in Getting ghem-County
Court y, i'll then have to Act.
Petitions concerning the bonds for
the railroad proposed To be built up
Deckers creek are being circulated
These are being signed by a great
many people OF the district through
which it is proposed to construct the
road.
These petitions will be laid before
the county court when the required
three fifth OF the voters Of the district
have signed them. The court at the
special session some time ago refused
to submit the proposition on the re-
quest of three hundred of the voters
because they were not three fifths
majority of the voters of the district.
This action was very unexpected to
the people who had the matter in
charge and to all others as it was gen
orally thought that If the people
wanted to vote on the plan they
had perfect right to do SO. The
action Of the court in putting the
question to vote did not bind them
to any thing and did not even endorse
the plan.
The petitions set forth that the yot-
ers of this district want chance as
soon as practicable TO vote on d prop.
oSition to give forty five thousand
dollars toward the construction of the
Kingwood and Morgantown railroad.
This is to be paid for at the rate Of
forty-tive hundred dollars mile and
not to be paid until each miie is con-
stIucted and under operation. All Of
the money voted is to be expended in
this district.
In return for the bonds the rail
road company is to give forty five
thousand dollars worth of first pre-
ferred per cent dividend stock Of the
proposed road. The bonds are to bear
interest at five per cent and they are
to be exchanged for the stock at par.
AS soon as the required number Of
signers are secured the petitions will
be laid before the county court and
they will then have no excuse for not
taking ction on the matter.

MORE SOLDIERS NEEDED.
West Yirginia's Quota is 500 and they
Will Be Furnished.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 10
1t is probable that West Virginia
will soon be called upon to furnish
troops for service in the Philippines
According to the Hull army reor-
ganization bill, passed by the last
Congress, the President has power
to call out an additional army CT
$4,000 troops, their time of service
being limited until the first oil July,
1901, over two years hence 1t is,
probable that the war in the Philip
pines with the insurgents will re
suit in calling ont more troops
very soon
1t is given upon the authority Of
Gov. Atkinson that call is con
templated by the Government Gov
.ernor Atkinson returned from Wash
ington Saturday morning. While
there he had conference win Ad-
jutant General Corbin and Assist
ant Secretary Meike6ohn, on the
subject They informed him that
the President would likely issue the
call for troops to be sent to the Phil
ippines and asked him how many
troops West Virginia could furnish
They said in call for 30, 900 men
West Virginia's quota would be
about 500, or two battalions Gov
ernor Atkinson answered their query
by stating that West Virginia could
furnish two or three regiments If
needed. Yesterday the Governor re
ceived message from the New York
Herald. asking how many men this
State could furnish, and in reply he
stated that West Virginia would
furnish two or three times the mum
Der of troops for the Philippine war
that she will be allowed to furnish
by the President in case he calls for
additional troops.
Governor Atkinson has stated
that he has not the least doubt that
two battalions could be son raised
in this state for service in the Phil
ippines. He said he had talked
with some Of the officers of the Sec
ond regiment, who had just return
ed home, and they expressed will
ingness TO go into the service again
and be sent to Manila If necessary

be full regiment the highest Off

The number four on the Sarah e.
Eddy farm came in on Saturday and
has been holding up well. 1t is

The three wells in are making
about nine hundred barrels a day
This is very much better than the
territory was thought to be when it
was first started toward development.
Several other wells have been start

LICENsE GRANTED.


Councilman Hall sees the thing Differ
eBtly and he Votes to Grant permits
sion to Sci! Booze in FairmOnt.
Fairmont will not be dry after all.
The council has concluded that it viii
be best to allow booze to be dispensed
and they voted to grant license at the
meeting held on Tuesday night
The change in sentiment was due to
the change in the attitude of council
man Hall who voted against the ques
ton last time. This time he failed to
vote at all and the matter was carried
by vote of five to four The Mayor
did not have to vote and he does not
have to take the responsibility for
the step.
The change has been hailed with
delight by the thirsty Fairmonters
who had seen but very little prospect
Of happiness in a dry city although
part Of the population was dead bent
On having it that way. The present
licenses will be renewed at the first of
next month if the applicants can
stand the pressure.
License will cost about fourteen
hundred dollars d year and several of
the smaller places will have to close
down as they cannot raise the money
necessary.

a COOP MOVEMENT.

Unfortunately, the Women Pay Little
Attention TO It.
The Audubon Society, of New York
is making a strong fight for the pres
ervation of the song birds, and to
abolish the fashion of wearing birds
and birds feathers on feminine head
gear TO this end the members have
issued a stirring appeal to all women
to join the movement by refusing to
use these decorations to obtain which
millions of birds are annually slaugh-
tered.
The movement is worthy of all re-
spect and support, but it is almost
wholly dependent on the women for
success as it is useless to attempt to
stop the sale of birds for decorative
purposes as long as there is a profit
able market for the business.

REPORT OF THE BEEF PRoBERs.
viii Find, 1t is said, that Miles Had
Sufficient Reasons for the Allegations
Those Who Handled the Beef are
Riamed.

SuHcleRt reasons Tor the allegations
Those Who Handled the Beef are
Blamed.
New York, April ia Wash
ington special to the journal says
that the most important deliverances
of the court of inquiry in reference
to Gen. Miles viii be substantially
as follows:
We find that there was ample
cause for the allegations OF the ma
jor general commanding in reference
TO the canned roast beef and refriger-
ated beef at the time those allegations
were made, but that the testimony
before this court has disproved the
reports made TO the major general
on which his allegations were made
It is not believed from what can
be learned that the court will re-
commend any specific action against
Gen. Miles. So far as the intention
of the court has become known. it
will find:
First--That the canned roast beef
was unpalatable as part of the
fixed army ration
Second--That the canned roast
beef as it left the various manufact
urers was wholesome and nutritious.
Third-That the refrigerated beef
was not chemically treated.
Fourth-That it was the only
practicable substitute for fresh beef
in Cuba and Porto Rico.
Fifth-The spelling of tons of this
food was due to a lack of facilities or
neglect in it's care in Cuba and Por-
to Rico.
Gen. Miles allegations by this
verdict are sustained as to the
canned roast beef in slight degree,
and totally discredited as to the re-
frigerated beef.

months.

ject held ON Tuesday night-Resolu-
tions adopted-Debts formerly ill.,

Leech thinks that This is the best
plan.
The meeting OF the church officers
Of tie M. Z. church, last evening
was very largely attended. Two
questions were discussed and de
cided. The first was Ought we to
build new church now?n The sec
md was aIf we build now where is
the best lot and what is its pricey
Three different lots were recon-
mended by their respective friends,
and there was no harmony of opin-
ion as to tie best location a mum
Der of persons thought that boom
prices were on these locations and
that these sites would not command
the prices asked for them for years
to come. Some thought that the
pastors proposition was wise to pay
ST, 400 Of old debts before any new
financial burden is incurred. The
entire organization became united
in this view before adjournment
By a unanimous vote the follow
ing resolutions, offered by different
men, one after another were adopted,
after full discussion. Resolved,
that as we have ST, 400 of old lndebt-
edness to pay and cannot easily
agree as to the choice of a new loca.
ton for the proposed new church,
we regard it as wise to adjourn the
further discussion Of the subject
twelve months Resolved, that we
will at once endeavor to pay the old
debts.
Resolved THAT the pastor, at a
suitable time, be requested to pub
!icly secure special sinking fund
subscription, payable BY individuals
at definite sum per week. for SIX
months to pay off the notes in bank
representing deficits in former an
NAL current expense accounts; and
when these are paid he be requested
to put into operation q similar plan
to pay the mortage on the new par
sonage lot, which will free this
church from its present Indebtedness
Resolved: THAT as some repairs are
needed to put our present church in
a good condition until a new edifice
shall be erected, therefore a commit
tee Of five shall be appointed to re
port to the board what repairs are
absolutely necessary at the present
time" Prof W F. Wiley, DR.. L. s.

ours in all that was done The
growth OF the church and school is
steady and quiet. Crowded as are
the audiences and school frequently

ing debts He had no fears as to
the availability, at fair price, OF a
suitable lot when the hour strikes to

can unite, with enthusiasm. at the
price asked for the property. With

will be more harmony as to loca-
ton 1t will take $4,000, at the
least, Tor the lot and building. About
SIl 600 is available. An additional
$4,000 is necessary to carry the en-

He was in there last summer but
was discharged as he was supposed to
have been cured. The ailment re-

bad as he was in the first place.
Stomach trouble of several years

CONVICTs ESCAPE.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Three desperate
convicts from the federal prison, who
were in charge of Guard Kneif, escaped
while at work digging a grave for a
fellow convict who died. The prison
ers were Jack Holly, horse thief, con-
victed at Paris, Texas; L. Priest and
Will Beebe from Indian Territory, for
minor offenses.
While at work on the grave Holly
struck the guard on the back of the
head with shovel. The other two
men then attacked the guard, stripping
him nearly naked, and then left him
in a dazed condition. The funeral
party upon arriving at the cemetery,
finding the guard, took him in charge,
and with the corpse returned to the
prison at Fort Leavenworth, where the
alarm was sounded
A farmer from Linwood notified the
prison officers that Jack Holly was cut
in two by Santa Fe train which he
attempted to board. He held his gun
in his hand while attempting to board
the train, and when he fell the cars
cut the gun in two.
The guard is expected to recover.

The lines Of diplomacy are running
parallel In the matter Of the Alaska
boundary and the Behring Sea ques.
ton. The agreement which Ambassa-
dor Choate and the Marquis of Sails
bury have effected concerns not the
whole boundary line, but only such a
part of 1T as is Of present Importance
to Canada and the United States, just
as was the case in the other matter.
That Is to say, 1t applies only to the
villages and properties built up by the
increased activity of travel over the
passes leading from the sea to the Yu-
kon valley. This provisional agreement,
which it is covenanted shall not be
exercised to prejudice the final loca-
ton of a permanent line Of demarca-
ton, was required to appease the
growing dissatisfaction Of the army of
settlers upon, and the traders and trav-
elers who cross the Chilkoot and
White Passes and move upon the Dal-
ton trail. The doubt as to locality
rests upon the contention Of the Do
minion that the boundary line should
run ten marine leagues east from the
outermost fringe Of islands that dot
the Alaskan coast. The United States
holds that the initiatory points of
measurement exist on the main land.
In the United States survey maps the
boundary line at the places named in
the modus vivenN passes in a sweep
ing curve around the head of Lynn
Canal, including In Alaskan territory
Talya, Skaguay, Chilkoot and the vii.
lage Of Kluckwan. BY the provisional
delimitation the line will pass through
three specified points, the old Cana
dian custom house on the White Pass,
the present Canadian custom house on
Chilkoot Pass and extend northward
to the Dalton trail just without the
village of Kluckwan. The real dispute
has been at what point the line should
cut the Dalton trail, because at the
other places the natural boundary is
fairly defined by the summit Of the
water shed upon which the custom
houses have stood. But the present
agreement, which Is operative only for
two years, by which time the whole
question will be threshed out, practi-
cally leaves the United States in pos
session of all she claimed as being in
cluded in the Russian purchase. The
Lynn Canal, as the estuary is called
which leads in from the sea to the
foot Of the Chilkoot, remains in Alaska
with all its varied interest for fisheries
and commerce, and If some concession
has been made to the Dominion it is Of
a nature that is justified by the uncer-
tainty Of the boundary and the friend
ly and reciprocal interests of the two
countries which dispute it. Canada has
not reached tide water, however,
which was her dearest wish, and
about which she has clamOred so per-
sistently. Fortunately the settlement
of international disputes in which she
may engage does not rest with her,
but must be made through the crown
ministers, who in this case have seen
how baseless the pretensions Of the
Dominion are.
