DR.. Robt. Ramsay, being the only
physician we heard Of attending
smallpox cases, the following notice
was prepared for him:
Clarksburg, W. Va
Jan. %, 1900.
DR.. Robt. Ramsay,
Dear Sir:
We hereby notify you that the City
Health Officer has ordered, and said
order is approved by this committee
and the community at large, that you
be quarantined outside the city limits,
until such time and safety will per-
NIT the raising OF such quarantine.
Signed n. PECK,
City Health Officer and
ID. X. REED,
YIN 1 Tn nss Special Com.
Not being able to see DR.. Ramsay,
we appointed Jack Cunningham as
special messenger, to take this notice,
and a communication from DIR. Nor
gan to Mt. Glare, and either serve
them personally or leave them In the
hands Of the guards at Mr.. Carper's
house tobe served as soona as oppor-
tunity afforded.
We employed the Clarksburg Tele-
gram Co., to print 1000 copies of DIR.
Peck's Proclamation, which all have
doubtless seen, and Lewis Deison to
distribute them quickly as possible.
We also employed Robert Brent to
do some necessary work for us.
We next made arrangements for q
house, to be used as detention hos
pital and provided for nurses, bedding,
furniture sc to be gotten in readiness,
within two hours notice, should q
need for them develop.
About 4oclock Sunday evening, we
got word that DR.. Robert Ramsay
was at Mr.. Carper's house, Mt. Glare,
in quarantine.
Our work being in a fair state OF ac-
complishment, we did no more. eX-
cept that, at various times during the
week since, reports came that small
pox cases we're in different parts of
the city. In every case we had our
Health Officer and police to investi-
gate and found them all to be false
reports.
We are happy to be able to report at
this time, that we believe the small
pox matter is in good control in our
city and surrounding neighborhood,
and there isno prospect of a spread of
the disease.
We desire to specially commend the
efforts of Dr.. A. o. Flowers, OF the
State Health Board, and Dr.. ID. r.
Morgan, of the County Health Board,
who gave us valuable advice and as
sistance, and Mr.. John B. Smith, of
the Telegram, Lewis Deison, Jack
Cunningham and Robert Brent, who
promptly responded to our calls, and
of course our Chief of Police and
Health Officer were ready atall times
to assist us.
We made the following bills in the
Pursuance Of our duties, and re-
commended their payment:

EDITORIAL.
A Despicable Excuse.

DR.. J. C. Jackson, editor of 1.-THE Ameri-
can ISSUE" national organ of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, is out in a remarkable inter-
view in the Columbus O., Daily Citizen,
in which he announces that the Anti-Saloon
League has decided that it will not fight
President Mckinley in this campaign, He
admits that the Presidents attitude on the
army canteen is a powerful argument
against him, but the prohibitionists by NOM
mating Woolley, a reformed drunkard, for
President have prevented many temper
ance men from voting the Prohibition tick
ct. He also says that the League has con-
cluded to save it's ammunition against For
aker and Hanna and the Republican party
generally, until next year.
Here is pretty kettle of fish For thir-
teen years John G. Woolley has lived an ad
mitedly temperate life. He is the recognized
champion of aggressive opposition to the
saloon, which cursed and well-nigh ruined
his life. AS such he has for all these years
been welcomed to the platform of unnum-
bered Christian Endeavor and Epworth
League conventions, of synods, conferences
and other religious bodies. He has just
now been chosen to lead what will be the
most courageous and stubborn fight ever
made against the saloon. But-wonderful
to tell !-'many temperance men" will not
vote for him because "once upon time" he
was Incorporate! Let the Anti -Saloon Lea
que and the old party press open up this
line of attack If they will. The Prohibi-
tion party asks nothing better. There are
doubtless many men of small brains and
big prejudices who are looking for just
such little excuse as this from the duty
of casting their ballots against the hell
born liquor traffic. But, thank God there
are millions OF others, men who have never
affiliated with the Prohibition party, that
honor'a fallen man, who struggling against
a relentless appetite within and a goddess
system without, becomes a man, and then
cOnseerates his life to the salvation of his
fellow men who are still in the gall of bit
terness and the bonds of infqufty; and
large numbers of these men will resent with
their ballots the base insinuation that such
an one is unworthy of honor.
And SO the Anti-Saloon League which
has been saying ali sorts of naughty things
about Senators Hanna and Foraker for the
active part which they took in the defeat of
the Clark Local Option bill in Ohio, will
now hide it's knife up it's sleeve until next
year, will it? Next year. is good. Lem.
mesee. Next year" will be after the
Presidential election, won't it? All, yes
we see.

A Happy Company.

The Minnesota excursion to the National
Convention was most enjoyable one. Our
delegates and those of North and South
Dakota, who joined us at Minneapolis &C.
cupied two coaches The officers Of the Mil.
waukee line left nothing undone that would
minister to our comfort or pleasure. The
trip down the beautiful Mississippi valley
and through Wisconsin, made still more
delightful by converse with our fellow
workers from the three states, will be long
remembered. At nearly every station, es-
Trio or s. w. Squire sang a verse or two
of one of their rousing songs and every
bOdv in reach was supplied with Backbone.
En- route we also selected our representa-
tives on the various committees at the con-
vention. Stanley B. Roberts was made
chairman of the delegation, DR.. w. A.
Powers was put on the credentials COM
mittee and the editor Of Backbone on the
platform committee. Busily and rapidly
the day. passed by, and at about 10 p. m.
we reached the whirling city and were soon
comfortably slowed away in Hotel Veley,
centrally located on Clark street, between
heartily recommend this comfortable hostel
~. Morning and night, and sometimes at
noon our. delegates met each other, dis
cussed the wonderful convention and
planned the work which we would
do In our own state on our re-
turn. The day following the convention
was spent In sightseeing. The writer,
with his wife, visited Miss Wizards grave
at Rosehill cemetery and also Rest Cottage
at Evanston where Mrs. Barker, National
Treasurer, did the honors. If we were ever
In doubt upon that point, we now know that

These he truthfully denominated "the
backbone Of the party"
Dickie Takes the Gavel.
On the nomination of the national
committee the convention chose Sam
uel Dickie temporary chairman, A. E.
Wilson of Chicago temporary secre-
tary and COL Cheves of Tennessee and
E. B. Sutton of Idaho assistant secre-
taries. In speech worthy: of him
Chairman Dickie urged the greatness
of the prohibition issue. He said:
The great problem, whether we view
it on the financial side, or on the moral
side, or on the purely political side, is a
problem by the side of which every other
issue dwindles into absolute insignifcance
If it does not disappear altogether.
He briefly but most impressively recount
ed the part taken by the Mckinley admin
istration in allowing beer to follow the
flag in our new territory, and in striking
down the prohibition Of the drink traffic
In Alaska. In this campaign, said Prof.
Dickie, we shall not indulge in unseemly
personalities In many respects Mr.. Nc
Kinley possesses an excellent character and
amiable qalities, but he has deliberately
elected to insult the church and the home
and the temperance people Of America, that
he may curry favor with the rum power,
and we shall give the people the facts.
The roll of states was called for the
names of the vice chairmen of the
convention. Mrs. e. A. Russell was
chosen from Minnesota. The conven-
ton adjourned at noon.
Young rIen for War.
At 2:3O Fred A. Victor, of New
York, was most royalty received and
spoke of the Young Peoples Prohibi-
ton League. He said in part:
The Young Peoples Prohibition League
was organized because we felt the need OF
an organization with which the young peo
pie could unite without regard to sex OF
sect for an honest, out and out, fight
against the saloon. There was no such or
ganization as that in this country at that
time. 1t is safe to say that, had the Ep
worth League and the Christian Endeavo1
| fought the saloon in manly and courage
Gus way, the Young Peoples Prohibition
League would never have been organized.
The convention effected the follow.
ing permanent organizations: Samue
Dickie, chairman; Col. Cheves, secre.
tary; L. w. Elliott, of California; A
E. Wilson, Mrs. Frances Beauchamp
of Kentucky; H. E. Griffin, of Massa
chusetts, and J. A. Hartman, of New
4 York, assistant secretaries. The ma
Minnesota being represented by w.
Dean and J. F. Heiberg. This com
mittee afterward chose 0. w. Stew
art, chairman; w. T. Wardwell, secre
tary, and Samuel D. Hastings, treas
urer. After other speeches the con
lvention adjourned.

worth Leaguers, and Clinton N. How
ard, founder of the Prohibition Union
of Christian Men, were introduced
and how they did speak! And the
great audience was not backward in
laundering it's approval Of their radi-
cal sentiments.
Then the platform committee, rep
resenting every section of the Union,
and every shade OF opinion in the
party, presented its report through
Secretary A. A. Hopkins, of New
York It's reading, especially of those
portions which arraign President Nc
Kinley for his surrender to the liquor
interests, evoked tumultous applause.
There was some disposition to add
other issues to the platform, but it
was adopted by rising vote, almost
unanimously. Then the convention
sang "Blest be the tie' and adjourned
until Thursday morning.
Sinews of War.
Rev. c. H. Mead, D. D., opened with
prayer, after which Chairman Stewart
appealed for funds in his own fashion,
urging every man to do what God had
enabled him to do. He had blanks
passed, which, when returned, showed
that $1,000 had been offered, much Of
it in cash. This is in addition to
s., 900 in the treasury and to unpaid
pledges and others yet to be made.
Greeting From Salvation Army.
!. Then one of the great events of
the convention took place. Col. Brew
err of the Salvation Army, came to
the platform, charged with an official
message from the officers of that great
body. The speaker is an orator OF
great power. Yet the tremendous
applause which greeted his appearance
and punctuated his utterances was still
more a recognition of the heroic work
of that organization for humanity.
1t also meant: Perhaps, after all, our
help is coming from the lesser de-
nominations, possibly from the work
ers in the. slums. rather than from
those to whom God has given greatest
opportunity" He said in part:
They tell us that we should not speak
out as an organization upon this traffic.
Why? They come and place their hands
upon our shoulders and say: "God bless
the Salvation Army; you house the poor,
you feed the hungry, you clothe the naked.
Here is five dollars to help you along"
But we turn to them and say: IL you
will remove the liquor traffic from these
United States drive it from the slums OF
our great Cities, you will make absolutely
unnecessary seven-tenths of the work Of
the Salvation Army"
At the close of the address three
rousing cheers were given for the
Salvation Army.
Woolley's Name Presented.
The supreme hour of the convention
having arrived, the alphabetical roll
i of states was called for presidential
nominations. Arkansas, being called,
: yielded to Illinois, which had two
} candidates. Oliver w. Stewart pre-
scented the name of John G. Woolley.

Chicago Wanted Us.

Rev. J. w. Maxwell offered prayer.
John H. Hill eloquently welcomed the
delegates to Chicago. He called at
tention to the fact that the party was
organized in that city in 1869 and in
vited to the platform those who were
members of that convention. Amid
great cheering number responded,
among them Mrs. Frances Neal, Of
Minnesota. In speaking Of Chicago as
convention city, he paid high tribute
to the eminent Chicagoans-Finch,
Miss Willard, Woolley and Stewart,
as we'll as to the New Voice, our able
national organ. Great applause greet
ed his eloquent references to the three
great names from which one was to
be chosen to lead the fight. Not less
appreciated was his reference to the
unknown hero who has never had
his deeds exploited by the press, but
who for many long years has stood as
firm as rock in his community and
has worked hard and has paid cheer
fully and has borne rebuffs and sneers.

"The Best Ever"

In size, enthusiasm, wisdom and
harmony; in everything which denotes
great party and insures an aggress-
i've campaign, the National Convention
of the Prohibition Party, which took
place at Chicago June II, %, was all
that it was hoped it would be and
more. 1t was clearly the greatest in
the history of the party.
Over 700 delegates were present
from forty states. 1t would be diff
cult for one to look upon that splendid
body of men and women and to listen
to their deliberations-wise, though
carried on amid tremendous excite
ment-without feeling that they we're
impelled by lofty motives and that
they both expected and deserved to
win. The great Illinois state conven-
ton, held in the same hall on the pre-
ceding day and attended by some 1,500
delegates, had whetted the appetites
of delegates and visitors alike and had
impressed even great Chicago with our
presence. On Wednesday morning,
June, q, fine procession wendell it's
way from the Palmer House, Chicago,
to the convention hall, where a great
crowd had already assembled.
The various delegations with their
flags and baners were received with
cheers, especially the Massach lsetts
delegation, bearing upon standard
a huge reversed canteen.
The Morning Cometh.
National Chairman o. W. Stewart
called the convention to order. Among
other things he said:
Slowly but surely has the realization
come to us that this year affords us the
greatest opportunity in the history of the
party I have said often that if we had
the spirit of 1888 or 1892, along with the
opportunity that 1900 brings to us, we
could poll a million votes. I have said
this in the past, doubling whether we
could succeed in raising the party to the
zeal and enthusiasm of those years. This
convention proves beyond doubt that not
onlv have we the opportunity, but thai
in 1900 we are to have the spirit of 1885
and 1892.
