tine viii Soon BE Lifted.
WESTON, w. Va, Mar 6.-Some
five or six days ago Lon. Cottrlll
and NJ. y Hoovey broke the Cam
den on Gauley quarantine, and
walked through to Weston. When
they reached the corporate limits
last Saturday night they sent for
Chief of Police Atchison They
have been quarantined in the house
at Bendale, where they stayed the
night before.
The local health board again quar-
antined as smallpox suspect the
home of Porter |. Tough, this morn
ing, this because of breaking out
upon the person of Mrs. Tough, who
is just recovering from the advent of
new born babe.
Mr.. Tough says: "This breaking
out is eighteen days old and is pecu-
liar inasmuch as it has followed the
birth OF everyone Of my children. 1t
is a pimply eruption, the most of
which has disappeared.
DR.. j. l.. Warder visited Mrs.
Tough this morning, DR. Warder
says:
II found Mrs. Tough broken out
with a suspicious postule, or erup-
ton about the size of small marbles,
over face, hands, chest and body.
The case was reported to the health
board and they placed it under tenn
porary quarantine until it is deter
mined what the eruption is.
The health board is endeavoring
to secure physician from the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons, of
Baltimore, who is now at Gillespie,
to pass upon Mrs. Lough's case This
physician will probably reach here
tomorrow.
DR. Geo. Snyder at the request of
the health board visited Mrs Tough
this afternoon, DIR. Snyder says:

time | would not say that it is small
pox, but insist that all necessary
precaution be taken

board, telephones tonight.
eve have cleaned up the barber
shop and the Bennett home. The
Golf Hotel, and the home of LLOYD
Rinehardt at Linn will be cleaned up
this week, and the quarantines lifted.
We have not symptom of a new
case, yet we are taking the greatest
of precaution. 1t is slow work, but
we mean to stamp the contagion en-
tirely out to our full satisfaction. !"

Students have begun To sell tickets
foe Mr.. Riddles season of readings
and Professor Patterson says that
"uhis time the tickets are going like
hot cakes 1t is an exceptional op.
portunity to hear this greatest of
American readers. The season price
is very low because it In desired to
have every student, II possible, hear
him. The repetition of A Midsum-
mer Nights Dream is welcomed In
every direction. Mr.. Riddle opens
his season with this play, so enthusi-

work. While Wednesday night closes

TWO CENTS
GOOD SUGGESTION.
Old Toll House the Proper
Place.

Fora new Passenger Station Entrance
From the Bridge CrowdIng Would
be Avoided Old Staten il Much toe
Small Now aud is 6etting Worse al.
The Time.
While talking over the present sit
uation of the depot and its cramped
condition on Tuesday prominent
business man OF the town suggested a
plan that Is the best suggested yet for
the relief of the present conditions.
He thought that the passenger depot
ought TO be separate from tho present
establishment which could be used as
a freight depot and would be large
enough for that during the next few
years.
The location of the old toll house at
the bridge was thought TO be the best
place for the passenger station. This
will be endorsed by everyone who
thinks over the plan. The ground
was recently purchased by the railroad
company, They would be at no addi-
tional expense for this.
The location OF the station would
be about the most convenient In
every respect that could be gotten,
The station would be two stories with
waiting rooms and ticket offices up
stairs. The passengers would be the
only people allowed down sn the plat
form and thus the efowding which Is
so often encountered at the present
station would be avoided
Carriages could be placed on the
street near the end OF the bridge and
1t wouldn't be nearly as hard 10 get
away from the station as Ii Is at pres
emit. The same general plan Is TO be
used in FairmoIft and the entrance TO
their new passenger depot Is 20 be
from the bridge.
Some plan OF this kind will have to
be put into operation some OF these
days. The depot as IL at present
stands is too small by far and It will
become more and more cramped as
time goes on. It would do very nicely
as freight depot and with the pas
senger station separate from it would
be large enough fer years TO come.
The location suggested has every
advantage that the old place lacks
and it has none Of the drawbacks that
any other place that has been men
toned would entail.

Mr. Bhodes and Colonel Kekewich

circulated at the clubs, put him in

Fresh intelligence as to what Lord
Roberts is doing has ceased again. This
silence is taken TO mean that something

necessary to repel invasion and suppress

THE RAILROAD MONEY.
For the Several Nearby Counties and
How ADportiened.

The apportionment of the money
received by the state from railroads
has beeu completed in the auditors
office, and it forms an interesting
study of the great revenue derived
from that branch on the states in
dustrial development. All the coun-
ties in the state now receive their
just proportion Of the funds derived
from that source of taxation save
the following: Boone, Calhoun, Gil
mer, Hardy, Lincoln, Logan, Pendle-
ton, Pocahontas, Writ and Wyom-
ing-I0 In nearly all OF these coun-
ties sthere are projected railroads,
the building and operation Of which
will still further increase the States
revenue and counties in which they
are operated. The following table
shows the distribution OF the amount
received to the school and coun-
ty fund, including roads of this and
nearby counties:

STREET FIGHTS IN PEk|N.
Police Have Many Encounters With
Half-Armed Mobs.

London, August 25-Street fighting
breaks out intermittently IN Pekin accord
ing to dispatches from Shanghai, the al
lies not having sufficient forces to police
the vast city. AS small parties of the al
lied troops penetrate into new districts
they have to engage half armed mobs.
A Shanghai dispatch repeats the report
that Japanese troops pursued the Dow
ager Empress and the court and overlook
them eighty miles southwest of Pekin.
The emperor it is added, threw himself
on the protection of his captors. The
prisoners have not yet reached Pekin.
In the engagement at Tien Tsin, one
thousand Americans, British and Japan
ese routed three thousand Chinese and
killed 300 of them. The viceroy of Sc
Chuen is reported at Shanghai to be send
ing troops to the Ton Quin frontier and
to be intending to fight the French at
Meng Tsez.
The bulk of the German fleet recently at
Shanghai, has gone to Taku as an escort
to the new German minister DIR. Mumm
Won Schwarzenstein who is bound for
Pekin.
Clan fights are of daily occurrence in
the Peung-Shan district
The foreign residents of Shanghai are
alarmed at the arrival of the extraordin-
ary number of warships and are fearful
of European complications but they have
been assured by some of the native COM
manders that the gathering was acciden-
tial.

New York, August 25.-Gen. P. L. Alex

Cleveland arbitrator In the boundary dis
pute between Nicaragua and Costa Rica
has just returned from those countries on
the completion OF his rh1ssion.
An interesting feature of General Alex
anders work lay in the fact that his la
bors on the boundary question were the
cause Of a close survey of the line of the
proposed Nicaragua canal He said that
he did not think the commission now pre-
pairing a report would advise a new route.
While disclaiming definite knowledge on
the subject he was inclined to think that
proposition from the Ncaraguan gov
ernment to ours had already been made.
He believed that, rather than not have
the canal built, the Nicaraguan govern
ment would accede to almost any terms
made by the United States.

VESPERS IN FINE SHAPE.
American Boat Crew Shows Up Well
in Paris.

New York. August 25.-A Paris dis
patch to the Times says:
The Vesper eight practiced as usual
yesterday, covering the mile in 4:51 2-5
This is only a few seconds more than
their best performance. The difference
may be caused by the current. There
have been no trials btween the various
crews, but the Vespers have been prac-
ticing quietly UP stream, free from OBJ
servation.
The course on which the races will
be rowed is on the backwater of the
Seine in the suburb of Asnieres, few
miles outside of Paris. 1t is almost, but
not quite, currentless. The Vespers heat
will be rowed about at midday, and good
weather is promised so far. The Dutch
NreW seems most to be feared, but they
are at disadvantage from not having
roWed together; being drawn from their
universities.

TO GO BACK TO THEIR POSTS.
Consuls in Chinese Cities to Return to
Their Duties.

Washington, August 25.-The state de-
pArtment is taking steps to have all of
the American consuls In China return to
fheir several posts as soon as Immediate
danger from anti-foreign outbreaks is
passed. The attention of the department
has been called to those statements en-
'anating from various consuls to the eff
feet that they left their posts at the di-
rection of the department. The officials
say that is not correct-that the consuls
were merely permitted by the depart
ment to leave their posts on their own
responsibility if they considered their
lives were in danger. Now that the dan
ger Is passing the department is getting
ready to have them go back to their posts
and take up their routine work.
