REV. l.. E. PETERS
Attacks the Various Assortment of
Evils in the New Oil Field.


Rev. L. E. Peters pastor of the
Baptist church at Clarksburg who
is well known here recently took oc-
casion to criticise very severely some
things that have occurred in that
nice town. The new oil field near
that place has brought in an element
that follows all such things and bad
as Clarksburg was it now seems to
be ten fold worse. The reverend
gentleman attached the municipal
government in scatking terms and
exposed the evils that exist so vivid
Aly that the Clarksburg News which
is very warm itself says: he SER
mon Of Rev L. E. Peters at the Bap-
fist church last Sunday evening was
a terrific arraignment oil our local
government. The entire talk was
hot enough, if published, to burn a
hole in Uncle SANS mail sacks. The
Rev. is deep thinker and not
afraid to speak his sentiments. We
would like to publish part of his
sermon, but things can be said in
the pulpit which cannot be sent
through the mails"

LOCAL COMPANY
Will Probably be i'm the Parade at
Wheeling on WashingtOn's Birthday

1t has been proposed that the
First Regiment be taken to Wheel
ing when Dewey is to be there on
the 22d of February. The occasion
is to be the erection of tablet on
the site of old Fort Henry and the
presentation of sword to a Wheel
ing man who served with distinction
in the late war with Spain. Admir-
al Dewey has accepted the invita-
ton to be present and will be there
without fail.
The suggestion has been made
that the First Regiment National
Guard be invited to be present and
it will probably meet with success
None OF the companies are very lar
away and they can be gotten in there
very cheaply. Morgantown's com
pany will probably be among those
that are in the parade if the present
plans are carried out.

Prof. Wade did not offer to give the

Admission of Congressman Roberts
Starts the Ball to Rolling Plan to
be Followed Majority to Gust Him
is Expected Financial Bill to be
Taken up Immediately of Bus
mess Before Christmas.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The opening
week of the session in the House prom
Uses to be crowded with stirring events.
But ds the committees are not ap-
pointed until just before the holiday
recess, no actual business is trans
acted usually until after the recess.
This year it will be different At
the very threshold of the session comes
the contest over the admission of rep
Tesentatiye-elect Roberts, of Utah,
and later in the week the House will
plunge into an important and possi-
bly,
PR0TRACTED DEBATE
upon the financial bill which was
prepared by the Republican leaders
LAST spring at Atlantic City. The
Roberts case has attracted the atten-
tion of the whole country. The re-
publican leaders have adopted plan
of procedure which is designed TO pre-
vent Mr.. Roberts from taking the
oath of office until after the charges
in connection with his alleged polyg-
amous practices have been investi-
gated by special committee. Mr..
Taylor, of Ohio will make the objec-
tion to the administration of the oath
to Mr.. Roberts and will offer reso-
luton to refer his case to the COM
mittee. There is considerable oppo-
sition to this method of procedure on
the ground that the refusal of the
House to prevent a representative
elect bearing proper credentials, to
be sworn in upon unproven charges
would create a bad precedent and
might result in chaos at some future
time when political feeling ran high.
But there are
SEVERAL PRECEDENTs
for this course in the case Of men,
bers charged with disloyalty after the
war, and these will be used in support
of the procedure. Every member OF
the House mas been DonUdfueu Win
petitions in the Roberts case and
there undoubtedly will be large ma
jority, without regard to party lines,
in support of the plan outlined by the
Republican leaders. Owing to the
time which will be consumed in the
disposition Of the Roberts case the
drawing of seats, which usually re-
quires several hours, probably will be
postponed until Tuesday.
The announcement OF vice president
Hobart's death will be made probably
after the Roberts case is disposed Of,
and the House will adjourn out of re-
Spect to his memory.

Frank Williams, G. G. Everly and
Fins Everly were lodged in jail here
shortly after midnight charged with
having disturbed religious worship
at Bethel. They went to the church
during the progress of a protrated
meeting and raised terrible low.
They asserted when arrested that
they could not be taken as they were
residents Of Pennsylvania.
Constable VS.. Stoker soon showed
them that they were badly mistaken
and he pulled the obstreperous gen
gentleman. They had been raising
all sorts OF trouble and had nearly
succeeded in breaking up the meet
ing. Stoker deputized Will Ramsey
and Clell Courtney to help him and
they came to Granville with the
prisoners.
Squire Parker before whom they
were taken refused TO try the prison
ers on Saturday night and set this
afternoon at O'Clock do s,.O ,....1 .or
the hearing. The officers then start
ed to town with the fellows.
As they started into the Jail one
of the Everly's who had been on
horseback jumped off and started to
run. He got away after short
chase but was later recaptured at
Jimtown and brought back to town.
The practice of disturbing wor-
ship has grown to entirely too great
proportions in this county and some
very salty doses should be melted
out to the offenders They should be
plainly shown that this will have to
stop. Decent respectable God fear
ing people have been subjected to
this sort of annoyance long enough.

PasturinK Orchards.


While the use of orchards for a grass
crop Is to be condemned on general
principles, the practice Is followed in
some sections and doubtless will be to
the end of time. When grass is grown
1t is much better to pasture 1t to sheep
than to cut it for dry feeding. If seed
ed to orchard grass at the rate of two
bushels per acre it will really support
six to ten sheep for pasture during the
season. Add to this ration of wheat
bran and the sheep will be well fed
during the season. The advantage to
the orchard by sheep pasturing is the
amount of rich fertilizer added to the
soil. besides the cleaning up all of the
fruit that drops. The consumption of
the latter alone, breeding as it does in
furious worms, will pay for pasturing
sheep in the orchard.

MOTHS IN HIVES
Bad Sign to Find Wax Cuttings In
the Summer or Fall.

the Summer or Fall.
1t is a bad sign to find wax cuttings
about the entrance In summer or fall,
but in the spring 1t Is no indication of
worms. As soon as this trouble is
found out prompt action must be taken
Worms do their work very quickly, es-
pecially in weak colonies. Worms are
the worst enemies beekeepers have to
contend with, especially IL black bees
are kept. Italians seem to have the
power to overcome them to certain
extent, but no kind Is absolutely worm
proof, that know of. Had you pushed
your investigation far enough, and ap-
piled the proper means, you could nave
saved the bees and comb but not the
colony. You would have had to unite
them with some strong colony, and of
course that would have made one less,
which Is much better than to lose
them.
After worms once get hold In col
ony it is of no use whatever to try to
doctor it, within itself In the first
place, the colony is nearly always
queenless, or weak. The fact that you
took no honey from either one that
you lost is proof enough that they were
weak, and perhaps queenless, or at
least had very poor queen.
When ! find colony in the spring
that seems to be doing no good | at
once break up their home, or give them
new queen and more bees. When l
find colony in my apiary that Is in
tested with worms, | invariably find
weak colony, and one that is of no
account whatever, within itself. l al
ways unite them with some strong
colony, not fearing in the least about
the worms getting the better Of the
strong colony, unless they are very
badly infested, in which case l unite
the bees and subject the combs to the
fumes of burning sulphur, or immerse
them in water for few days.
If desire increase rather than hon
ey, and the colony is not badly infest-
ed. | first kill all the worms | can find,
then give them n new queen and some
bees, and watch them closely, and even
then 1t is risky, especially If have to
buy the queen: and the probabilities
are that 1t will not be IL success after
all my expense and care. A poor queen
is the foundation of worms among
bees. So to be successful in keeping
them out of your bees, you must begin
with the queens, by keeping the poor
and infertile ones weeded out. Then
your colonies will be strong and there
will be no danger whatever so far as
worms or anything else is concerned.
If you see signs Of worms in your
bees this simmer the best and cheap
est plan will be to unite them, by first
killing the queen Of there is one) in the
infested colony, and giving the bees
or bees and comb both Qf the comb is
not badly infesteD to some strong col
ony. If the colony is good one and the
queen all right, and you find few
worms In places in the hives where the
bees can't reach them, kill what you
can and let them alone, and they will
be all right. | pay no attention what
ever to worms under the quilt or in
the crevcies where the bees can't get
at them, If the colony is strong one.
But If it is weak and the worms have
gained foothold in one or two combs,
then look out.-E. S. Mead.

RenOvating Orchards.

Repair is not necessarily associated
with old age and decay. Apple trees
ten to fifteen years old sometimes need
repairing quite as much as do old and
neglected ones. When the orchard to
be treated has been neglected for many
years, the first operation, if the land
does not need draining, Is to prune
thoroughly. In this operation, which
may be performed at any time from
late fall until the middle of May, care
should be used that the trees are given
and close together or those which
that all small limbs should be removed,
leaving a lot of whipstocks, but that
such of the larger limbs as are parallel
and close together, of those which
cross, should be cut out, says w. NJ.
Munson in Bulletin 40, Maine Expert
ment Station. Half of the difficulty of
pruning is done away with if one de-
cides to allow the tree its natural form,
rather than attempt to shape it to
some particular model.
Many growers suppose that pruning
weakens the tree and shortens its life.
There Is, however, no reason for this
belief other than the general state
ment that pruning is unnatural. But
pruning is not unnatural Man sell
dom prunes so heavily as does nature
in removing superfuous limbs in the
growth of young saplings in the forest.
Furthermore, nature prunes at all sea-
sons and in the rudest ways. BY this
1t should not be understood. however,
that care is not necessary in the me-
chanical operation of pruning. On the
other hand, 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that large limbs be removed
with care and the wounds painted to
prevent the entrance of fungi which
will induce decay. In training young
trees, all crotches should be avoided
If bad crotches should be found to
exist in trees 10 or more years old
they should be braced by means Of an
iron bolt. Much damage may be avoid
ed if bolts are used in season.-Orange
