The Approach Of Motherhood l. tho
Occasion Of Much Anxiety to An.


Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
Undesirable dread Of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured
Women should hail with delight Q
remedy which insures to them i'm
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is q
scientific iniment--and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
paratiye ease and comfort. This won
derful remedy is praised by every
WOiudH VINO las uecQ IL.
What woman 10 not interested in
Mothers Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price,
less value proven by the experience OF
thousands OF happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination Of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for 1t gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend. The
little book, Before Baby is Born y
telling all about It, and when it should
be used, will prove Of great interest and
benefit TO all expectant mothers. and

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Condition OF the Common
Schools of the County.

Supt. Mason says that thes are In Fine
1 .shape-Synr OF them are closed
down ON account Of Measles Slate
Black boards being introduced Ia
several places
AIr. Stephen Mason, superintend
ent OF free schools OF the county was
in town and was askesg about the
condition OF the sehoo- oi tic Dun
ty. He expressed iiiinSelf . Vef,
highly pleased With tue way III ngs
were working aud hsA only one
thing TO nother him. Tais vas the
closing dosn oil some s.'i.oois in Csin
ton district which is due 10 The
prevalence OF measles.
The disease has broken ont so
that it is impossible to keep the
schools going aud they have been
closed down until the disease takes
its departure This is not expected
| to be very long Outside of this all
the schools in the county are run
ming and they are doing very good
work as far as they have been heard
1 from.
There are now 1913 schools in the
county which is an increase of three
over last year. They are each one
in operation with the exception of
those which have started and been
forced to stop on account of the
measles but they will finish the SEES
sion all right The same wages are
being paid as last year.
While there are three new school
houses more than there were last year
the number of pupils in each is
larger than last owing to the large
increase in the total number which
is three hundred more than it was
this time last year.
One of the Improvements that
have been started by the present SUI
perintendent is the introduction OF
slate black boards into the county.
They have been placed in three
buildings and it is hoped eventually
to have them in all OF the school
houses. They cost about $22 to each
house and are practically indestruc
table. Taking into consideration
the time that they will last they are
really cheaper than the board ones
Their introduction would result
in great saving to the county il
the long run and would give yer,
much better service from the start
The attention of all the members o..
the various boards of education is
being called to the many advantages
the slate boards have over the OLE
ones and their adoption is being
strongly urged by the superintend
ent

Moral iIeprayity

Parents often wonder who or what
has ruined their boys. They have
been in school every day, but the les
sons OF department and morality IL
culcated there seem to have beer
wasted on barren ground. The truti
is, the boys are allowed to be on tn,
streets from the time school close
until late at night. The street cor.
ner is the best place in the world fol
teaching vice, profligacy and crime
Nearly all the bad language and idle
vicious habits boys acquire are learn
ed on the streets late at night
Teachers may be able to accomplish q
little in connteracting these evil in
fluences, but much of their labor is il
vain until parents cooperate Will
them by keeping their boys off TIN
streets at night.

EXPANSION
Is The Policy of The New
B. & O.

Reaching Out in all Dfrections--North
and South Line Through West vir-
ginia-BuJing New Properties In
Other States-It IN One Of the Great
Systems Of the Country.
The policy in the j. & q. under the
new management seems to be one Of
Expansion. Everywhere 1t is reach
ing out, building or buying branches
in new territory, absorbing roads
which have been friendly to it--iD a
word grabbing everything in sight.
Nor is this policy confined to any one
locality. All along the line the same
policy is being pursued. In West
Virginia this policy has been carried
out until in a short time the B. & o.
will own and operate new trunk line
north and south through the center
Of the state. The announcement re-
Gently made, that the B. g. O. would
take control of the Monongahela River
road between Fairmont and Clarks-
burg the first of next year is no sur
prise for 1T had been stated ia the pa
pers several months ago that the Il.
& 0. was negotiating for the road and
that the negotiations would probably
go through. This will give the B. g.
0. a through line from Camden on
the Gauley and Sutton on the Elk to
Pittsburg and with this move the old
rumors have been revived that the B.
& O. would build from Sutton to Clay
court house and buy the road from
there to Charleston, thus penetrating
through the center of the state to the
capital and bringing Pittsburg closer
to market in thriving West Vir-
ginia. With an east and west line
and north and south line through
the state and with all its branches,
the B. s. o. would control large part
of the railroad business in West
Virginia.
The same policy is observed in other
states. 1t is but a few days since the
| B. &. o. secured absolute control of
| the Cleveland & Valley Junction road
| in Ohio.
| This road runs from the terminus of
the Cleveland and Marietta road at
Valley Junction to Cleveland and is
operated in connection with the G. &
M. Following up the same policy
there as elsewhere it may be inferred
that the B. & o. will eventually Sc
cure control Of the @. & M. and thus
have north and south line through
Ohio from Marietta to Cleveland.

The 0pekiska Coal company have

Opekiska The directors Tor the
coming year are Rockwell Marietta,
president; Clair Stillwagon, secre-
iary and treasurer; Harry Marietta,

The company has 164 acres Of val
liable coal land thatis yielding about
200 tons per day, with enough un-
mined coal to keep force of 90 men
employed for the next Is or 20
years, SAYS the Connellsville News
The mine has been in operation now
for about four years and has been
producing high grade of hard coal
that finds a ready market. 1t is
shipped to Philadelphia, Chicago
and other cities, while portion OF
it comes to Connellsville.
Opekiska is located along the Mo
nongahela river in West Virginia,
about thirteen miles this side OF
Fairmoni. 1t is in the midst of a
splendid coal region, there being
nine other mines in the vicinity.
The other mines are all owned by a
syndicate, having been purchased
from time to time from the owner
The 0pekiska Coal company has
also been approached several tirea
by representatives of the syndieaie
with the idea of purchasing thei
plans, hut so far both parties has

The business is not confined ~
coal mining, but coke is also burn
cd that finds as ready market as
does the coal. The coke Is OF an ex
cellent quality, and is highly com
mended by its users. 1t is used il
large quantities by the Baltimor,

THE reports from all Of the Goa
mines in this section are that thes
are running to their fullest capacity
and that they cannot get enough
cars to supply the demand of PEG
pie who want their coal. The samt
condition applies all over the stat,
according to j. w. Paul, the state
mine inspector.

STILL SLIPPERY.

Rev. Henry V. Cunningham Is Hard to
Keep In One Place very Long at a
Time.
A few days ago we told of the con-
viction of Rev. Henry V. Cunning
ham, of Pendleton county, for a rob
berry that he had committed sixteen
years before. He was sentenced to
five years in the pen but the Reyer-
end Henry did not have any idea of
going to jail for that lengthof time or
any other SO he has procured his es-
cape.
The manner Of the escape is not
given but he is gone and the officers
are looking for him. If be is gone
as long as he escaped between the
commission of the crime and convic
tion he will not have very much left
of his life to remain in jail.

in moments Of disorder is for the presiding ohl-
Ger simply to put on his hat and declare the
sitting suspended. 1t should also be remembered
that the presence Of the military guard at the
Palas Bourbon was primarily intended not for
keeping order within the House, but to prevent
the invasion of the Legislature by the Partisan
mob.
Another feature OF the French Chamber which
surprises an American visitor is its Greek aren't
lecture which certainly does not favor re-
spectfu attitude Of the members toward their
President. A stormy sitting of the French
Chamber aptly recalls the stirring description OF
the "s@ance d'invalilaton' in Alphcnse Daudet
"Nabab." and the scene presented by Sardou
in the las; act OF "Robospierre" is by no means
an exaggeraton. These stormy sittngS are

vented FOR the purpose, into eleven 'DureauA

separate reporter The "bureaux make a pre-

caIv danauds This method of sitting and re-
nnrting on all the work Of the l. Gislature in
commissions accounts for the absence OF debate
IN .he French Chamber on pending bills. There
IS one commission-that Of Initiative which
is of especial importance. 1t consists OF twenty
two members 1.-TWO nominated from each bureau
and examines all bills presented except govern
mont measures. before they are even sent to the
special bureaux for preliminary consideration.
The object of this commission is 10 save time
and shelvc frivolous improper bills
Each commission begins operations by choOs-

1t is an absolute rule of French parliamentary
procedure that the work Of "A commission can
be made known TO the Chamber only by It's re-

Moreover the position OF the orator, face to
face with his critics, aggravates the temptation
to interrupt. The scene presented to the spec
tator in the gallery is that Of two men-the
President and the oratOr-at bay with an angry
public in front of them equally hostile to both.
Sometimes it seems as if the tribune serves as
a sort Of pillory-such was the case, for IN
stance when NJ Wadeck- Rousseau read from
the tribune his ministerial declaration during
the tcmpestuous sitting June 26. when tho
Prime Minister stood for five minutes facing
the scething Deputies and receiving floods OF
invectIve without being able to make himself
heard in reply.
The suppression of the tribune for the orator
is frequently suggested by the French news
papers after unusually stormy sitting, or
whenever the rebuilding of the Palais Bourbon
is discussed. The tribune now in Use is that
made for the Council of Five Hundred which
was dispersed 10y Bonaparte and his grcnaiers
at St Cloud on November O. 1899. Louis Ma
p0eor suppressed the tribune in 1Sl2. and dur
ing the period in which the proceedings Of the
Corps Legislatif were not made public the mem
bers spoke from their places as IS the custom
in the United States and England. Tho tribune,
which Napoleon caused to be broken to pieces in
1872 was repaired, and in 1864 was replaced IN
the Chamber as a sign Of the advent Of "A lib
eral regime IL has remained since 800 In IT'S
! present position. The marks 81 the repairs are
still visible.
The most formidable offensive weapon used in
the French Chamber is the Interpretation.
The Interpolation, in it's present form. is the
outcome of the Third Republic. !: is founded
upon Ministerial responsibility. II was brought
to perfection in the days Of Gambetta ana
when Cl6menceau was the chief wrccker OF
Ministries. Written notice Of Interpolation
must be given beforehand. The Chamber is then
turned into sort of irresponsible tribunal III
which the interpcllating member becomes
public prosecutor, and the Ministers assume inc
positions suggestive of prisoners charged win
some criminal offence.
No account Of the French Chamber Of Depu-
ties would be satisfactory without mention oi
the mechanical contrivance for constituting 'he
various committees which are the foundation u
all French Parliamentary work. There ar ~
