| The congressional contest in this dis
trict has been the cause of the resur-
! rection of an undue number of freaks.
Some men who can gain notoriety only
| by making themselves ridiculous have
come before the public as candidates
| for Congress. The latest is Millard
Fillmore Helsley, of Bellaire. Helsley
is fellow who has long aspired to be
newspaper man, but with Indifferent
success. He is.an individual that may
| be described as harmless. He is out in
long communication announcing
himself as a candidate. and he seems
| to be in earnest

ranging for the street fair, meets again

progress shall be more rapid after to-
nights meeting.

The Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad
| is doing a big freight business these
| days, and the crews are kept buster
| than they really enjoy. Wednesday
| evening through freight No. IA, which
| leaves here at 1850 p. m, and returns
| from Wellsville, arriving here at 5:25
a. M, was annulled owing to the re-
| fusal of the crew to go out until they
| had sufficient rest. The fact that sew
| eral men have been off on account of
| sickness, together with the unusual
heavy freight traffic, is responsible for
this condition. Five employees in the
| freight service were on Tuesday pro-
| NOTED to conductors, and this indicates
the demands being made upon this
