REDUCING GRADES.
Extensive improvements Being Made by
the Il. & .. Company.

Extensive improvements BcIns maze Dy
the Il. & .. Company.
The contracts have been let by the re-
ceivers of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
through General Manager Underwood, for
the proposed Improvements on the line
between Wheeling and Pittsburg. few
miles south of Pittsburg there are two
very bad hills, one known as Whitehall.
and the other as Thomas The grades on
the present line, both sides of Whitehall
Summit, are 132 feet, plus the curvature
Qrom the fact that they were not equated
when put in) equaling a grade of 1876 feet
per mile.
The grades at Thomas Summit are 1856
feet per mile on the west side and Is to
1G4 feet per mile on the east side, without
equation, which ADDED makes them equal
to 1G4 and rs feet per mile, necessitatng
helping power at both SUBMITS in both
directions. The proposed new line will
shorten the distance 2.9. miles, and the
saving in elevation at Whitehall Summit
will lie 157 feet equal in equated distance
to 80, 40 feet, and at Thomas Hill a saw
ing of 81 feet in elevation, equal in equated
distance to 6,400 feet.
Both improvements will result in a saw
ing in curvature OF Go degrees of central
angle. The new line will not exceed Go
feet per mile and will save about $4,000
a year in operation. The work includes
the building of a double track with
bridges and tunnels one tunnel being / go
feet in length and the other 1880 feet,
and will cost in the ne.ghborhood of
S600,000. 1t is expected the work will be
completed in one year.

OIL NEWS.
Special to the Register.

WEST UNION, w Va, March 21.-
West Union is destined to be an oil town
and if it is not it will be no fault of the
oil operators who have already begun
operations, and to-day it is utterly i'm
possible to lease an acre of land that
bears the least sign of oil land.
1t has long been thought that the pool
in which P.ney Fork and Stringtown ex-
ist, extended in a south westerly direc
ton through West Union. The Carter Oil
Company recently drilled in a 80 barrel
producer on the Stout farm, four miles
south of West Union, and the company
thinks SO we'll of the strike that they
have leased 2,4G0 acres adjoining on the
west. while NJ. Murphy has secured $50
acres on the south east. Murphy lease
estate of 1900 acres Carriers lease of
2,400 is also on the Maxwell estate but N
the opposite direction.
Gaffney & McCoach of Sistersville, have
1900 acres of the Maxwell farm, while
Davis Connolly Of Bradford, Pa, has
PISA acres of the same farm. Hill & Nc
Coach have 1900 acres and outside of this
large tract the Carter Oil Company has
6,G00 acres under lease and the South
Penn has thousands of acres.
The Eastern Oil Company are drilling
a well on the Maxwell farm on Bluestone
creek and to-day are in the InJun sand
with a good showing of OIL They will go
to the Gordon and expect a good sized
well.
If it comes in a good producer, wells
without number will be put down.

WHISKEY VS.. MEDICINE.
Under War Revenue Law Only One Whis-
Key Is Taxed as u Medicine.

Under the new Revenue Stamp Law
WHISTLES are exempt from taxation, but
medicines are taxed. 1t is notable fact
in connection with this truth that there
is one whiskey which is acknowledged by
the Government to be medicinal whiskey
and which is therefore stamped.
This unusual exception is made in the
case of Dufy,s Pure Malt Whiskey, the
Government recognizing its medicinal
qualities, which do not belong to any
other whiskey. 1t is a complete confirma-
ton of what has been known to the med
ical profession and scientists for many
years, namely that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is a medicinal whiskey, as diff
ferent from other kinds of bottled whis-
kies as strong medicinal waters are diff
ferent from ordinary waters; as different
from other whistles as medicinal pre-
paration can be different from prepare
ton containing no medicinal qualities.
1t is gratifying to know that people
who are not slow to take advantage of
all that is meritorious are using Duffy's
Pure Malt for medicinal purposes and
that it continues to accomplish wonders.

ANOTHER STEP


Taken In tho Reorganization Of the
Baltimore, March 21.-Judges Golf
and Morris, sitting i'm the United States
circuit court, filed decree this after
noon foreclosing the mortgage of 1898
on the Baltimore & Philadelphia rail-
road, which is the Philadelphia divis-
ion of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
and ordering that the same be sold.
The trustees of the mortgage are
Messrs. j. Crosby Brown and Freder-
ick w. Whiteridge, Of New York, and
E. ]. D. Cross, of Baltimore.
The mortgage was made to cover an
issue Of 1000 bonds, each for $1,000,
placed abroad by Brown Bros. & Co.,
of New York. The trustees petitioned
for the foreclosure and sale.
Under the statement filed with the
decree it is shown that the principal
of the bonds, including those of 1883
and later issues, is s11, 900, and the
total indebtedness is 1884, 493.44, the
difference representing the interest
which was defaulted upon. Special
Masters A. S. Durham and Arthur w.
Shamer, who have charge of the sale
of the other Baltimore and Ohio prop
critics, ordered disposed of by the
court, are also appointed to sell the
Philadelphia division. No date is set
for the sale. The foreclosure is one OF
the many steps preliminary to the reor-
ganization of the Baltimore and Ohio

LyNCEJNG NORTH AND SOUTH.

AproDos to the discussion OF lynch
ing north and south and the tendency
of the bloodyshirt contingent OF the
northern press to fiercely denounce
this crime in the South while having
little to say of similar outrages in
their own section, Hon. H. c. Smith,
author Of the anti-iy1ching law OF
Ohio, has a letter in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, in which he combats the
charge that there has never been a
successful attempt in Ohio to punish
lvnchers and that the law making COM
munities responsible in damages has
proven a dead letter, because no jury
could be found to give verdict carry
ing damages.
In replying to Mr. Smith, the Plain
Dealer takes occasion to point out the
fact that that paper "has consistently
and persistently denounced the lynch
ing of colored people by whites as in
excusable outrages. 1t has not, as SO
many papers have done, denounced
with indignation lynchings in the
South and been silent about similar
outbreaks of bagbarism in our own
State" Nevertheless, it maintains and
truly, that race prejudice is quite as
strong in Ohio as in the south and that
it is practically impossible to punish
lynchers in that State. There has
been no punishment" says our con-
temporary, "for lynching outrages.
The one civil suit under the anti
lynching law in which a verdict was
reached, failed for the reason, as Mr..
Smith admits, that the jury was made
up of citizens of the community in
which the outrage occurred
Now, here is a text for the bloody
shutters right at their own doors, so
that they will not be compelled to go
clear to Georgia for material for de-
mandatory utterances against lynch
ing and race prejudice.

In a recent address at University
College, Liverpool, Eng, the celebrated
English professor, James Bryce, made
the suggestion that the students should
be trained in the art and mystery of
advertising"
This proposition is quite as interest
ing as novel.
Prof Bryce stated that in none OF the
great commercial schools of the world
is the student instructed in the value
of advertising to commercial enter
prises, or the best means of employing
that great agency for the introduction
of wares into new markets. "Adver-
tising' said he, has become so eX-
tremely important a part of our COM
mercial life it would be very desirable
if something could be done to reduce 1t
to a science, so as to enable the young
merchant to know in what way MS
money, expended for advertising, could
be used to the greatest advantage
Every successful merchant will i'll
stantly recognize the eminent prac
ticality of this suggestion. Shrewd
business men have learned by long and
hard practical experience how to ad
vertise in the most effective way, but
of the millions upon millions of dollars
spent every year in various schemes of
advertising it is safe to say that a con-
siderable per centage is practically
thrown away owing to the ineXperience
of the advertiser and the consequent
ease with which he is bilked by fake"
schemes.
Whether Prof. Bryce's suggestion Will
be acted upon by the Liverpool College
or not it will be at once recognized by
men of business experience as emin-
emily wise and practical and calculated
to save the young man of business just
launching on a career much hard and
costly experience.
All the great merchants of the world
have become so through shrewd, jul
dicious and persistent advertising of
their wares to the people to whom they
