THE CRY WILL BE ENlOINED
In Efforts to Remove the Awning
Posts on Third Street.

The ordinance under consideration
by the city council TO remove the iron
posts supporting the awnings on Third
street is meeting with considerable
very unfavorable comment and Its
passage will DO bitterly opposed.
Property owners on that street threat
en- to enjoin and restrain any eff
fort TO enforce II In case Of It's pas
sage. It is true Third street Is nar-
row, but It is equally true the present
awnings are In more than one sense q
convenience and comfort. They af-
ford q shelter from snow and rain In
winter, protect the payements and
PEDESTRIANS, shield the merchants
from the SUMS hot rays and possess
other advantages. These awnings are
somewhat ungalnly, but are they
more SO than similar awnings on other
streets? II they be removed on Third
street, why not those also on all other
streets? Why should there be any
,semblance of class legislation Why
preferred property owners9 Again,
why should notthe many ugly tele-
phone and electric poles be removed?
They crowd the streets as much as the
awning posts. The posts are placed
on the curbinH and people don't walk
On that. We fail to see how they are
a sufficient impairment to trayelt to be
the subject Of any special and class
legislation.
The execution oisuch an ordinance
would work hardshlps on the owners
of the property not imposed upon
others, in that the occupants Of the
buildings say they will abandon the
present very desirable rooms on that
street, II the awnings are torn down.

STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY
Held an Interesting and Profitable
Meeting at Morgantown.

The Medical Societyof the State Of
West Virginia held It's thirty-third
annual meeting at MOrgantown, May
9th, 10th and 18th, and it was I'M.
doubtedly one of unusual interest
The papers read were far above the
average, and that by DIR. ID Braden
KYLE, professor OF Larynxology at the
Jefferson Medical College of Philadel.
phia, and also that OF Professor How.
ard Kelley of the John Hopkins of
Baltimore, Md, were particularly In
teresting and thoroughly enjoyed by
practical discussion Of his subject,
which was, practical Consideration
of Mucus Membranes, with special
reference to Lessons produced by La
Grippe" DIR Kelley held the strict
attention of the society by his mag
nificent discussion of New Work in
Diseases OF the Kidneys The pa.
per read on Group or Pneumonia OF
Children by DR.. Samuel S Adams OF
washington, d G, was Of particular
interest to all, inasmuch as the DIR Is
a West Nirginian by birth as well as
having received his education at the
University. Or ID S Hoffman, the
President. in his address scored Os-
teopaths and Christian Scientists, In
fact all pretenders who shield them.
selves under the name OF physician,
and c0mplimented DR. W p Con es-
pecially upon his manly and deter.
mined fight against these forms OF
"ouackery.' He also suggested that
efforts be made to request the state
to erect public institutions for con.
sumptiyes, inasmuch us 1t had worked
magnificent results In many Of the
other states where 1t has had thor.
ough trial. The business meeting OF
the Society which occurred the after.
noon OF the last day was perhaps the
most interesting OF any held for a
long time, and 1t was decided to take
Immediate action along several lines
which will undoubtedly mean much tt
the profession in general, as well as
place the Society on more prosper
Gus footing. The Svciety feels undel
many obligations for the many cour

well as the local profession who thor
oughly looked after all those present
BY special motion DIR Howard Kelly

ELKINS' ROAD
BEING SURVEYED.
The Senior U. s. Senator From
this State does not Intend to
have his road precludedby
the 3. & o.
A Corps Of Engineers
Are On Gnatty Greek
And Headed this Way-e. q o.
Engineers are on Elk Sew
eral Miles beyond Quiet
Deli.

The B. s. o. survey being made up
Elk creek toward Philippi, mentioned
a few weeks ago by the Telegram, has
created similar action on the part OF
another surveying corps, whose actions
are about as mysterious. When the
former were at Quiet Dell there was
sudden commotion among them and
the engineer hustled himself of to
Baltimore post haste. The word from
headquarters after that was, evident
ly, to push the work with all possible
speed and they shot up Elk creek like
an arrow, surveying two or three
miles day. When they reached the
mouth OF Gnatty creek, they went
straight ahead toward Philippi, as
predicted by this paper, and are now
several miles beyond the mouth Of
Gnatty creek.
Monday the natives along Gnatty
creek were startled by the appearance
Of large corps Of surveyors at Peel
Tree. They had come down Gnatty
creek and are headed toward Clarks-
burg. Their actions are mysterious
and no one knows where they came
from and they do not regard it their
business 70 tell. There is well
founded suspicion that they are in the
employ OF Senator S. B. Elkins and
Henry G. Davis, who own the West
! Virginia Central B Pittsburg railroad
and who have had In project several
years the building Of q link between
Beliuk6On and Clarnburg to connect
their road With the West Virginia
Short Line, and in connection with
the latter make q competitive through
line TO the B. s. o.
The Elkins and Davis road as pro-
jected would traverse the valleys Of
Elk and Gnatty creeks, strike the
Buckhannon river and proceed to Bel
ington, a distance of 81 miles, where
it connects with the West Virginia
Central s. Pittsburg which is being
extended down the Greenbrier river.
Whether or not either road or both
will be built in the near future re.
mains to be seen, butthe indication is
something is about to be done.

ALADY AND WouLD.BE LOVER
Have a Street Fight, in which the fair
one conquers the would.be conqueror
OF her heart

Miss Ella Nc Donald is abuxom lasSie
approaching that eventful period,
"just sweet SIXTEEN" around which
all unmarried females cling like leeches
no matter how near their years are
numbered. Miss Ella makes her home
with Mrs. Mary Hursey. In the yigor
Of youths she INDUCES In bicycling, that
exercise and sport which thrill every
portion Of the body and puts the
muscles In healthy condition. Miss
Elias sparkling, black eyes are warn
ing to all not to become an object OF
her wrath. Those blazing optics are q
menace to one who dares cross her
path against her wishes, but to him
upon whom she would lavish her
sweetest smiles they are aninspiration,
an infatuatlon, indeed, messengers OF
love. Saturday night between IL and
u o'clock Miss Ella weary and worn
after speel OF an hour or so on her
bike around the city pulled up at A.C.
Neff's bicycle store on Fourth street,
dismounted with the alacrity of an
expert, andbanded over her inanimate
steed to be putin its accustomed place.
As she came out of the building her
grace of manner, and beauty of face
and form attracted the attention OF
very timid (?) young man. by name
Clark Weekly. infatuated at first
sight the desire to WOO and win this
progressing and charming young
lady banished his scruples Of propriety.
Obliyious to his surroundings, heed
less of the compromising situation In
which he was about to place himself,
thoughtleSs of the impertinance,
fearless of the consequences to him
self and unsuspecting of the dismal
downfall of the hope that animated
his bosom, he ventured forth the brav-
est of all brave hearts, II not the most
brazen, and, CALAMITY saluting Miss
Ella, asked to see her home. Sur
prised at the strangers familiarity
she seemed dazed for the moment, but
when he repeated the request a min
ute later, her face reddened with
righte rus Indignation and every fibre
of her body was afire with anger. With
the alertness Of a beast of the forest
she whirled upon her insulter, clinch-
ed and tripped him, telling him to the
pavement In the twinkling Of an eye.
Instantly, ferocious as tiger, she was
upon him pummeling his physiognomy
with her dainty little fists to her own
lusty satisfaction. The poor man, in
solent as he might have been, lay
there helpless and the object OF ridi-
cule, If not pity; by large crowd who
saw and enjoyed it all. Having suffici-
emily punished him, as she thought,
the pugilistic young lady, with stately
stride betitting a member Of Queen
vic's court, departed for her home,
leaving her victim to the jeers of an
unsympathetic crowd. Weekly scram-
bled to his feet, not much the worse
for wear and tear, and with head hung
low remarked that he came from Sis
tersville and he guessed he should
better go back where he came from.
That ended the strange incident.
