A THROUGH TRAIN ASSURED.
A Fast Train From Clarksburg to Pitts
burg after November 18th.

Through the efforts Of the Chamber
of Commerce fast train will be put
on between Clarksburg and Pittsburg
after November 18th, but the exact
schedule has not yet been arranged
and nothing definite will be known
before Nov. 10th says the Fairmont
Free Press. 1t is known that the
train will make but two or three
stops between Connellsville and Pitts
burg, but it is likely that it will take
in nearly all the stations between
Connellsville and Clarksburg.
The time of the evening train will
be changed and it Will leave Pittsburg
about $50 p. m. and arrive here at
900 1t is also probable that the
evening train to Morgantown will be
taken off, as it is not paying.

BISHOP FOWLER.
Admits that He Took the Stump
For Pay

Rev. Df. swallow Charges Him with
Having Reeelrcd Compensation For
His Announcement or His Politics
and the Learned Divine Admits the
Charge Entirely.
A great ado has been made over the
fact that Bishop Fowler of the NJ Il.
Church had taken the stump for Me
Kinleg. The republicans have been
making much OF IL, They are entitled
TO all the consolation they can get out
Of the further fact that he admits that
he has doae this for pay. lie is one
of the leading men in the ministry of
that church and Is well known In Nor
gantown.
The charge has been made by Rev.
Swallow a leading prohibitionest of
Pennsylvania that he was paid to talk
for the republicans and the answer
that he gave is contained In the fol-
lowing editorial In the pittsburg Post:
Bishop Fowler, OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, lecturing in Read
ing the other evening, was asked TO
reply TO DR.. Swallows recent charge
that he had taken the stump for Nc
kinley. He not only confessed that
he had, but was paid by the Mark
Hanna committee for SO doing. We
quote from the Bishops interviews
stDo you neither affirm nor deny it?n
Bishop Fowler-l will tell you the
truth. am speaking for Mckinley.

again. The republican headquarters

appointment. Last Friday | spoke
at Chicago for Mckinley. Tomorrow

day night at Cleveland, O., for Nc
kinley, also. That ends IT, | speak
no more for Mckinley ! am not as
signed TO do more | have no time or
desire to wrestle with DR. Swallow.
His statement is merely true.
The confession lets out information
that should interest and amaze the
Methodist people The church is
pretty deep in Mckinley politics, but
that one of the Bishops should be em-
ployed by tho Hanna committee for
money. to advocate MeKinley's cleo
ton, is a move In political ecclesiasti-
cisni that has had no other instance OF
the kind in this country. The good
Bishop appears TO be serving God,
mammon and the devil.

THE WORLDS WORK
A New Magazine Published by Double.
day. PAGE l. Co.

II thought it was about time for
somebody TO start a new magazine, ;"
remarked famous American author
when he was told of the new monthly
launched October Goth by Doubleday,
Page 4 Co., Of New York. The fact
is, though, that ''The Worlds Work.
as its name indicates is radically diif-
erent from the ephemeral ventures so
plentiful Of late years. 1t Is founded
on an idea and one that must appeal
TO every man or woman who works,
while the men behind 1t were for years
editing and managing in various ca
pacities several of the most successful
magazines Of the day. Now they are
to see II they cannot make as good a
magazine for themselves as they have
helped in the past to make for other
people.
1.-The Worlds Work" is tirst-hand
magazine Of human progress, dealing
with the vital questions of contempo-
raneous interest in thoughtful yet
frank and incisive way. It considers
conditions not theories, facts not
fancies, believing that our own time
and country are good to live in, and
that 'the best Is yet to be. y It Is
necessary magazine for the men who
do things.
1t is illustrated by pictures larger
than those usually published In our
magazines. There will be clear-head-
ed articles on topics of vital interest,
by men who know what they write
about. The editor is Mr.. Walter III.
Page, assisted by trained writers: no
attempt will be made to obtain IA
nous list Of contributors-the idea OF
the Magazine well carried out is ex-
pected to win respect aud interest.
Besides many special articles there
will be each month history and ex-
PLANTATION OF significant happenings;
and further, a department under the
head Of Among the Worlds Work
er's, " which will tell the busy man in
concise fashion the new advances and
tendencies in the various branches Of
business aud professional endeavor.
The magazine will retail for TWEEN
ty-fve cents. The publishers first
planned TO sell 1t at ten cents copy,
but they abandoned the idea because
they could not publish the kind of
magazine they wanted at that price
without making the advertiser pay
most of the bills and all the profit.
1t will be sewed like book, SO that
it will open flat in the hand. The
size Of the page and Of the type will
be considerably larger than in most of
the monthlies.

JUDaE BILLIARDS. JOB
Collector of Internal Revenue Not
Dead Sure Thing.

It is reported now that the reason
Reese Billiards. resignation as Judge
of the sixth judicial circuit has not
been accepted is that there is grave
doubt among the Republican leaders
in the State as to the election OF Mr..
White as Governor, and that he will
not give up the office of collector OF
internal revenue at 81, 500 a year I'M
less he Is elected. Blizzard it is said
was given assurances that II he failed
TO secure the position OF collector,
which it was supposed Mr.. White
would have to give up, his resigna-
ton would be refused and he would
then remain as judge. His resigna-
tion has been in the hands OF the
Governor Tor some time, aud If the
Governor wants to clear himself Of
the charge Of holding up the resigna-
tion until it is seen whether White is
elected or not, and whether Blizzard
is to get bis job or not, he will have
to act quickly.

ELECTION DAY.
How 1t Came to be Tuesday after First
Monday in November.

The designation of the day for hold
ing the Presidential election is left to
Congress. The first act passed by it
relating to that subject was in 1892.
It provided that Presidential electors
should be appointed .within "a days
before the first Wednesday in Deem
ber.n This left each State free to
select day to suit itself within those
limits. Pennsylvania chose electors
on the last Friday in October. Other
States elected theirs on different days
between the beginning and middle of
November.
WheG Harrison was elected in 1910
the Democrats asserted that his sue
cess was due partly to fraudulent vot-
ing, which was made possible by the
lack Of definite election day. It
was alleged that Kentucky and Ohio
Wings had voted in both States, the
elections being held on different days.
So in 1916 the Democrats passed the
law now on the statute books making
the first Tuesday after the first Mon-
day election day.
At that time but of the 20 States
held their State elections in Novem-
Der. In Michigan and Mississippi
voting was carried on through two
day s-the first Monday and the fol-
lowing Tuesday. New York had had
three election days-the first Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday-bu had
finally confined voting to the middle
day, or the first Tuesday after the
first Monday. Massachusetts chose
State officers on the second Monday
in November, and Delaware on the
second Tuesday. So Congress select
ed the first Tuesday after the first
Monday to consult the convenience of
three States out of five, one of the
three being the important State of
New York.

How to Scratch Tickets.

Some of the most highly educated
citizens of this state lost their votes
in 1896 because they did not enquire
about the law governing the voting
of a scratched ballot. Remember
this, that only one ticket on ballot
can be voted, and not parts OF two or
more tickets. The names of men on
your ticket for whom you do not in
tend to vote must be scratched off
and the names Of the men on the
other tickets for whom you intend
to vote written under the ones
scratched.

WOMEN NEEDED.
The Home Vote Should BE Brought Dr.
reetiy Into Public Life.

II ever change was needed in the
institutions of a country it is here and
now The attention of the people is
turned to foreign countries and dis
tant regions, while at home the steady
growth Of giant monopolies is swift
and all-peryasive. In politics 1t is the
rule Of the machines, dominated by
the Bosses in business it is the of
the trusts, dominated by the capital
lists. The railroads of the country are.
becoming consolidated, and control
State Legislation. While individual
men and women are in danger of los
ing their power of initiative, hundreds
of thousands Of the most degraded
classes Of the most ignorant popula-
tions of Europe are being poured year
ly into our overcrowded cities. To
thoughtful observer the changes in
American population and the move
ment OF American society are not al
together encouraging.
The influence of the home must be
brought more directly into public life.
The conservatism of the wives and
mothers must be made potential at
the ballot box. To reform politics we
must improve our voting constituent
cies by making them too numerous
and too intelligent to be manipulated
by private interests.
If our legislators are too timid to
trust the principle Of universal suf-
frage irrespective of sex, why not ad.
nit those classes of women who are
specially fitted by education and posi-
tion to exercise the franchise wisely?
Why not give suffrage to women who
have graduated in our public schools
and who pay tax upon some proper
: ty, however small?-say upon hun
dred dollars or upwards. Why not
make the conditions of naturalization
and of suffrage more stringent, so as
to admit only those who are capable
of forming an intelligent political
opinion? Surely practical statesman
ship consists in utilizing all the vir-
tue and beneyolence and public spirit
of the country in the work of govern
ment, whether these qualities are
found in men or in women.

South Penn has Several Fine Wells
Courtney McDermott & Co, Share in

Wells are Drilling and Expected to
Come In shortly.
Oil developments in this county
are again becoming very active and
the development in Battelle district
is attracting much attention from
the talent. A large number of new
wells have recently been encounter
ed up there The South Penn has
profted great deal from this and
Morgantown people have been in
the winning streak several times.
Both of these have again hit the
pay and have good wells.
The South Penn has been doing
the greater part of the work and
they have profted very greatly by
it. They have just reached the pay
on new we'll 1t is located west of
Blacksmith on the Albert Thomas
farm and it is one of the best wells
that has been found up there lately.
When the drill reached the sand
the well began to at once flow at the
rate of fifteen barrels an hour and
it is expected that it will be even
better when it is drilled deeper
Drilling has been suspended but the
well will he sent on to the second
pay as that generally increases the
production in that section.
The same company S. 2. Thomas
number one is holding up at three
hundred and sixty barrels day
and its number four Catherine Muir.
riner at four hundred and fifty bar
rels all in the same section of the
county.
Courtney McDermott & Co, have
a fine new we'll on the Inghram Kent
farm having completed their num-
Der two. II is making one hundred
and fifty barrels. They have an
other good well on this farm and
several more are being drilled.
These wells have raised the
amount OF production in this county
very considerably and other wells
are expected in soon to make it
greater than at present.

SMALLPOX QUARANTINE
MAY AFFECT ELECTION.
Citizens Threaten Guards-A call upon
the State Militia Would not Cause
Surprise

CLARKsBURG, w Va, Nov AT
this time the greater part of Dr. Nor
gan's attention is occupied in consid-
ering the smallpox situation. Clarks-
burg has quarantined against Wilson,
burg where there is one case At the
tunnel beyond Wallace, where there is
smallpox, in Short Line camp a
rigid quarantine is maintained, and
outside of this circular quarantine
for five miles exists around Brown
protected by guards. The most seri-
Gus question is how this will affect the
election on next Tuesday, inasmuch
as large number of voters are
quarantined, and to vote they will
have to cross the line.
1t is said that the people are great
ly excited and that one man who is
engaged in business at Wallace, pro-
posed to furnish the guns if the citi-
zens would shoot the guards. 1t
would be no surprise to hear of the
National Guards being called out at
any time.
