Fairm0nt Index Tells Why it Thinks
The Pennsylvania Is Coming This
Way.
The Morgantown papers talk with
a great deal of certainty about the
building of railroad up the west side
of the river, that we begin to think
that they know something that we
have not learned up this far, says the
Index. The latest report is that the
Pennsylvania system is getting ready
to come this way and that work will
be commenced as soon as the spring
opens. We would not place much
confidence in such rumorS was this
not the time for railroad building,
and there is no more inviting field for
such enterprises than the upper Mon
ongahela Valley. The freight is here
already awaiting transportation. The
Baltimore s. Ohio has made heroic
efforts to handle it, and has done won
ders in that direction, and the present
business of th valley is limited to its
capacity to get out the freight, but
double the freight could be supplied
if another road was here to take it
out. A fact not generally known
might give some color to this report.
Not long ago the Short Line road
made a location from Lumberport
down the river to M. r. bridge over
the West Fork, and as the Short Line
lis very friendly with the Pennsylvania
road, by building line to the propos-
ed Short Line the Pennsylvania could
have a road as far as Clarksburg and
then use the connections east and
south which are sure to be made at
Clarksburg. Whether this road is
built this year or not it is sure to
come at very early date. Rival COM
koanies will not long permit the b. &
0 to handle all of the freight of this
Valley. The B. & @. is not idle. 1t
is Increasing its equipment very rap
idly and doing its best to take care of
the freight along its line and is ! sue
ceeding better perhaps than any other
single line woald do. We hear very
little complaint of the manner it
treats its shippers, ,and the relations
between the company and the ship
pers, are most pleasant Notwith-
standing this all communities well
come an opposition line.

EVILS OF ALCOHOL.

The German doctors have succeed
ed in arousing educated people to or
ganize societies for study of the alco-
hol problem. Lectures are given and
monthly magazine has been started
to oppose the drinking customs.
There is also a German Total Absti-
hence Society Of eighty physicians,
whose chief work at its last session
was to demand instruction In the pub
lie schools showing the nature and eff
fects OF alcohol upon the human sys-
tenn.

WITHOUT A JURY
Court is Being Held at FairmOnt-Ac-
ton Of the Judge in Naturalization
Case-New Railway Facilities-Run
Over and Killed,


FAIRMoNT, w. Va, March 9.-The
regular term of the Marion county
circuit court began with Frank Cox,
of the Morgantown bar, as special
judge, holding the court, Judge Ha-
gans being too i'll to be present. The
services of the grand and petit juries
were dispensed with when it was
feared that bringing SO many people
from the country might introduce
the smallpox into the town, so there
is no jury in attendance.
Judge Cox was warmly commended
by the local bar for refusing to natur-
alize a foreigner who did not under
stand the English language. Hereto
fore the Marion courts have been very
lax in this particular. Special terms
have often been held for naturaliza-
tion purposes solely, and whole droves
of foreigners have been admitted to
the rights of citizenship who had no
knowledge Of our institutions and no
means of obtaining any.

now MY BOY WENT DOWN.

Ii was not on the field OF BATTLE,
1t was not with a ship at sea,
But fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me.
Twas the death in The tempting dram
That the reason and senses drown:
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down.
Down from the heights Of manhood
To the depths Of disgrace and SIM
Down to worthless being,
From the hepe of what might have
been.
For the brand of a beast besotted
He bartered his manhood's crown.
Through the gate of sinful pleasure
My poor, week boy went down.
TITS only the same old story
That mothers so often tell
With accents OF infinite sadness,
Like the tones of funeral bell;
But never thought, once, when l
heard 1t
should learn all its meaning my
SELF
thought he'd be true to his mother,
thought he'd be true to himself.
But, alas, for my hopes all delusioni
Alas, for his youthful pride!
Alas! who are safe when danger
Is open on every side?
Oh, can nothing destroy this great
evil?
No oar 10 its pathway be thrown,
To save from the terrible maelstrom
The thousands OF boys going DOWN.
