lNHuMAN AcTof WESTON DOCTORS
Afraid oismallpoxan and Refuse to Treat
aWoman In Confinement.

Much feeling has been engendercd
and many unkind words are being
spoken against the inhuman acts Of
Weston phesicians in refusing toat-
tend the wife of Porter Tough of that
place Sunday night while in contine-
ment.
The only reason given for the re-
fusal to attend Mrs. Lougn was that
the house was quarantined, as a
precautionary measure, by the local
Board Of Health, because one of Mr..
Lough's livery drivers, William
Shearer, has the smallpox at the
Tough home. Not a physician In the
town could be induced to wait upon
the woman, whose pitiful cries could
be heard a block away.
A nearby blacksmith, Bert Neff,
left his work and went into the house
and gave the woman attention, wash
ing and dressing the child.
This is Mr.. NetI's statement:
when Porter Lough's house was
quarantined, was present and heard
him tell the Board of Health that his
wife was looking to be sick within the
next month, so the Board knew all
about Mrs. Lough's condition when
they quarantined the house.
II went to every doctor in town and
appealed to him to go and wait upon
the woman. This they all refused to
do.
81 went for several women, and
couldno get them to 20 because the
doctors refused to go.
"ln the absence of Mr.. Tough in
search for some one, could not
stand to her the woman's cries and
went to her.
Eyes, it is true that delivered,
washed and dressed the child. They
say can be indicted for it, but am
ready to stand trial."

Or. MoReAN,s NOBLE WORK
In Preventing a Smallpox Epidemic
A Vote Of Thanks duehim.

The assiduous, judiclotS hnd care
full efforts of DR.. ID. p. Morgan,
president Of the Harrison County
Board OF Health, to protect the coun-
ty from smallpox epidemic have
met with eminent success and deserve
concentration from every quarter.
Upon being informed OF the existance
OF the malady at Mt. Glare, he Inn
medIatcly employed rigorous meas
urcs to contine the disease to the
single point where 1t had broken out
and took all necessary precautions to
stamp out the malady. His efforts
have been crowned with success and
through them the county has thus far
been spared u probable raging cpl
demlc that would have resulted, pos
siby, not only in great Inconvenience
andannoyance to our citizens but also
In the loss of life. For this the Tele-
gram in behalf OF the people OF Har-
rison county extends him n vote OF
thanks and desires to speaks word of
merlted commeidation. The Doctors
course has been strictly in the line OF
duty as he saw it and he has perform
ed that duty without fear or favor,
the welfare OF the people being his
only inspiration. The county has
reason to rejoice, and to congratulate
itself, over such a fearless and
judlcIous health officer, one In whom
allallke takegreat pride. Hekeenlyap-
prcclates the dangers lurking around
In adjoining counties and is at
present exercising a vigilance, wholly
legitimate and absolutely necessary as
a protection to our people against the
ruthless negligence OF nelghborhoods
which have an eye on the almighty
dollar at the risk Of the sacred rights
OF human life, us evidenced by his
proclamation of quarantine against
Buckhannon to be found In another
column. For this noble act he
deserves another vote OF thanks, and
we fell assured the people Of Harrison
county have n still warmer place in
their hearts for this eminent ply
SicianS.
Norforget we Dr.A.O. Flowers, mem
Der Of the state board OF health, who
has rendered valuable serylcein the
smallpox situation.

OFFERS TO LEAVE THE COUNTY
Does Madam Dowd, if she be Re-
leased From Jail.

A movement is said to con foot to
release Madam Dowd from Jail pro-
vided she pay the fine of $50 imposed
and the costs in the caseand then
leave the county, not to return during
the period OF eleven months for
which she was sentenced. Application
WILDE made to the governor of the
state. Two reputable physicians certi-
fly that her health is badand, 1t is
said, her condition is delicate. Her
detention may possibly result in the
establishment of "a hospital at the
jail.
Asthe spirit Of the prosecution is
more to abate houses Of ill-fame than
to punish the offender, it would seem
her departure from this county with
all her goods and chattels would meet
the appreciation Of all. Shcmight be
parolcd with misunderstanding, and,
OF course, If she violated the stipula-
tions of her parole, she could be re-
manded to jail.
She is said to be willing to enter
into such an agreement.

being strictly observed by the b q o.
railroad andthe postal authorities.

ley went to bed Sunday night, Feb. 4,
apparently well, but during the night

OF brilliant attainment and republi-
can leader in Marion county. He is a
candidate to succeed Judge Charlton,

Where Does That Honor Come INF

The Parkersburg News, In lengthy
denunciatory editorial of the In
humanity OF Weston physicians re-
gardlng the deporable childbirth
incident related In another column,
speaks In the following highly COM
plimentary manner of DR.. Robert II.
Ramsay:
.Let us be just, however. There lisa
single exception, and one that re-
deems the profession from utter con-
demnation. 1t lsthe noble self-sacrl-
flee Of DR.. Robert Fl. Ramsay, who
realizing the Obligations and the
honor Of his profession, volunteered
to not only treat, but to nurse small
pox patients when all other doctors
fed from them. DR.. Ramsay, in pur-
suit OF his noble vocation, contracted
and is now stricken with the com
tagion, but had he been not SO
stricken, he woulddoubtlessh have done
the work which, in his absence and
the poltroonery Of his professional
bastard brethren, Bert Netf perform
ed.
"All honor to Berr Netf and to DR..
Robert II. Ramsay"
In Justice 10 the other Clarksburg
physicians, it Is but proper to call at
tention to the fact that DR.. Ramsay's
fool-hardy acts, and not his bravery,
