WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The official returns for the vote on
the equal suffrage amendment In the
state Of Washington are: Affirmative,
20, I'll; negative, 80, 497; majority
of 1926 against the amendment.
When woman suffrage amendment
was submitted in Washington nine
years ago, the majority against it was
about 10000. In nine years the
opposition in Washington has dropped
TO one-half. In South Dakota, the
adverse majority has decreased from
%, Clio in 1890 to 3, 2S5 in 1893. Hon.
John d. Long calls the opposition to
woman suffrage "a slowly melting
glacier Of bourbonism and prejudice.
1t is melting at satisfactory rate In
both these states. Woman's Journal.

POISON IN THE wHIsKEY.

Leading members OF the Chicago
Liquor Dealers Protective Association
propose to send committee to Spring
field to labor in the interest Of a bin
so to amend the charter of the city of
Chicago that in the future a commits
sion OF three will be invested with
the power to grant and revoke licenses
1t is claimed that the majority OF the
s'barrel houses" in Chicago make their
own whiskeys from wood alcohol,
which is of itself poison, and it is said
that a man who makes a habit of
drinking this kind Of whisky is for
ever a slave to it. Prohibition legis-
lation is wanted under this head.

UNCLE SAM CLOSE-FISTED.
Only partly reimburses West Virginia
for the States Volunteer soldier ex-
penses-In peculiar predicament.

Only partly reimburses West Virginia
for the States Volunteer soldier ex-
penses-In peculiar predicament.
This State finds itself in a similar
position to Ohio in regard to paying
off the soldiers who volunteered in the
war with Spain. When the First
West Virginia regiment is mustered
out as it has been ordered to be, the
volunteers will find their pay short.
Governor Atkinson recently returned
from Washington where he had been
in the interests of his State. His OBJ
ject was to have the department re-
pay to West Virginia $45, 900 expend-
ed in equipping the regiment and pay
ing the men before they were muster
ed out. To-day Adjutaut General
Appleton received notice that $21, 900
had been allowed by the war depart
ment and the balance withheld.
The State now finds itself in pecu-
liar predicament. 1t has borrowed
$28, 900 of the amount expended and
is paying per cent interest on it.
Although the State has many times
that amount in the irreducible school
tax fund, it was unable to borrow
from that on account of a misunder-
standing. The State officials are of
the belief that they will never be able
to recover the amount in dispute from
the wal. department.
Theiworst feature of the trouble is
that the State paid the soldiers at the
rate of 81 day for Is days before they
We're mustered into service. The war
department allows but SO cents day
and means to deduct that amount
from the soldiers pay in the First West
Virginia regiment when they are
mustered out. That is the same
method that was adopted with one Of
the Ohio volunteer regiments.

Scenes in India.

Mrs. Sturgis recently received a
number of interesting pictures from
Mrs. Ada Lee the Missionary in Cal
cutta. They show different phases of
the work in the bennett training
school of which she is the head. The
HindOo girls in this school are not only
taught christianity but are taught to
work. They are bright, teachable
girls and are great helpers for the mis-
sionaries. Mrs. Lee says 81 find the
Bengali girls as willing to work as
any other when taught how. And
those who have been with us some
time are as neat and tidy as our home
girls" Among the scenes shown In
the pictures are girls grinding wheat
between two miniature mill stones
very much as shown in bible scenes.
There are also pictures OF some of the
older girls who have been converted
for some time among them one of
Lizzie the first girl who entered the
training school. Another shows
score of girls in the court Of the build
ing eating their dinner. Each little
girl is seated on low stool with her
plate and an earthen jar Of water at
her feet. Another scene is that of
converted girl teaching a class Of
twelve little Hindoo girls. She sits
on stool and the little pupils are
all seated before her on large rug.
They are bright, interesting little
folks and seem to be absorbed in the
words Of their teacher. Another
shows the older girls at study. A
look at the pictures and at what Mrs.
Lee says of them should excite ones
interest in their behalf. Mrs Lee
says: ut costs $25 per year to keep
one of these girls in school, and teach
feed and cloth her. We still have
girls not taken, and will be glad to as
sign to any one girl to support and
pray for as their own, and to be their
in India. Mrs. Lee
and women like her are doing wonders
in that benighted land and are work
ing under many difficulties. 1t seems
to US when to the average American
$25 is so small sum that thousands
of them would cheerfully agree to
support one Hindoo who may If prop
erly educated convert hundred of
her people thus giving an inestimable
influence to the good work that may
be done SO cheap. Mrs. Sturgis is
warm friend of Mrs. Lees and we
have no doubt would be glad to CO.
operate with any Ut our own church
people in providing for several little
Hindoo children without which help
there can be no possible hope. Who
will start Ia the work?

THE HE NEW COMPANY.
Application Forwarded for Nor
gantown's Military Organi-
cation.

Col. Macker Babb approves the Applica-
tion add IL Is now before the Adjutant
General-He Is expected to pass on 1t
Favorably Company may be in the
Service In few weeks Municipal
Hall will likely be secured for an arr
mory-Other Notes.
The requisite number OF men for
the new company of national guards
has heen secured and the application
has been forwarded to head quarters
through Col Macker Babb. Col.
Babb has endorsed it favorably and
the matter is now in the hands of the
adjutant geneaal.
He is expected to act fayorably on
it and the company will more than
likely be mustered in. This will take
place within the next few weeks and
it will be gotten into shape rapidly for
the camp this summer If one is to be
held.
The minimum number of men were
taken as that is the policy being fol-
lowed all over the state in getting up
the companies. 1t is only desired to
get skeleton organization and this
can be raised to higher number later
when there is occasion to do So
There will be forty men besides the
officers
The company will try to get Munic-
ipal Hall for an armory and will meet
in that occasionally. The council
will take UP the matter at the next
meeting. The state pays this expense
which is not expected to be very much
as the armory is not wanted very
often.
Morgantown has wanted a military
company for some time and has the
material here to make the best COM
pany IN the guard. The men selected
are all right. Many Of them have
had previous experience and the 9TH
ers can be gotten into shape without
much trouble. The officers OF the
guard are very anxious to see the
matter go and it looks as If there
was nothing in the way now OF hav-
ing the mastering come off soon.

SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
Three Serious Mishaps Take
Place on Tuesday.

Leroy Austin Badly Cut in n Scufiie-
Faints on the Street while on the
Way to Physician-Bert Meeks and
Richard Smith Hurt in the Water
Tank-Roof Collapses and They fall
in-Meeks Badly Bruised and Nearly
Drowned-Smith has His Ankle
Broken--Five Year Old Child OF Mr..
and Mrs. Kern Probably Fatally
Burned.
A number of serious accidents oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon and eve-
ming. One of these may result ia
tally but as yet this cannot be fore
told. The others while serious
might have been worse and the out
come is certainly better than it
might have been without much
trouble.
The first was an accidental cut
ting. George Brand and Leroy
Austin two workmen employed by
the Union Improvement company
were fooling with an old knife when
Austin was cut in the arm very Sc
verely. He started to the doctor
and tainted from loss of blood while
on the way. He will be all right in
short time however.
The next accident was also among
the employees of the same company.
Three of them, George Brand, Bert
Meeks and Richard Smith were up
at the water tank on the hill making
some repairs when part of the
roof collapsed with Smith and Meeks
throwing them into the tank
A large quantity of the debris fell
in on them and Meeks was caught
under the timbers in foot of water.
Had the water not been there he
would more than likely been mashed
to death but on the other hand while
it was protection it was also a
menace and he nearly drowned be-
fore the other men discovered his
plight and pulled him out. His
face is badly bruised but otherwise
he is all right.
Smith received a fractured ankle
but worked on, getting Meeks out.
Dr. Fitch was called and he attend
ed to the injured man at once
The last accident was the burn
ing of the little five year old daugh-
ter Of Mr., and Mrs. Charles Kern's,
Of South Morgantown. The family
were outside attending to some
matters and the children were in
the house. The little ones dress
caught from the open CRATE and in a
moment she was mass of flames.
Her screams attracted her mother
who tried to tear the burning dress
off the child. Her hands were badly
burned in the effort and Mr.. Kern
had to try to get the dress off before
1T could be done. DR.. McLane was
called and he dressed the burns 1t
cannot be told whether or not the
burns will prove fatal but it is to be
hoped that they will not.

desire.
Contractor Berry has gone home.
He has looked over the ground and
will be content to allow the matter
of the payment of the balance
claimed to be due on the street pay
ing go until spring. He was seen
just as he was about to leave town
and told the preventative of this
paper that he was content with the
showing made.
THE pavement is ali right. And
it will show that it is all right if it
is let alone and people will wait
awhile Of course the sides of cheap
pavement like that are expected to
go down in places where the sand is
washed out. If the pavement had
been laid over crushed stone and
cement of course this would not oc-
cur. But when it goes down like
the pavement here was laid it al
ways acts that way.
"The people can rest assured
that it will be all right | am going
home and not going to meet the
council this time. Let the matter
rest until spring. That will be the
best test and you will see that the
pavement will be everything that l
have claimed for 1t.
Council did not meet again last
night on account of the continued
illness of Mayor Glasscock and they
have postponed the meeting indef-
nitely. When they do they will
hardly take the paving matter up
as they have decided what they arc
going TO do and that is not pay for
the remainder Of the contract price
until they can see what is going to
be done about it,
Their engineer has condemned it
in unmeasnred terms and they IRE
content TO wait and see before they
take any rash steps. The pavement
may be all right next Spring as Mr..
Berry says it will be but the chances
at present are thought by the coun-
Gil to be against it. II it is of course
the proper thing will be done. The
council has never been disposed to
do anything else and they are not go
ing back on their record. They
have no interest at stake aside from
the good of the town and whatever
they will do will he on account of
their idea Of what the best interest
of the town demands.
