SMALLPOX

COunty-POstmaster at Addison

Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, February 49,
William Woodell, who was appointed
by the local health bGrad of Lewis
county to look after the smallpox cases,
makes the following statement to-
night:
You may report that up to this
time we have had twenty-five cases or
smallpox and varloloid. Nine of these
cases have been bad. The two worst
cases we now have are at Alum Bridge
MIR. Alkire and Mr.. Hardman. All
the rest are past the danger point, most
of them able to be up. 1t looks now as
II we would have the disease soon
stamped out of Lewis county"
There are two new cases In the Benz
nett family, In Gilmer county. DR..
Rymer reports that there are now eight
cases in the Bennett family, and that
the disease is confined to this one fam
lily. He also reports that all the other
cases, numbering about twenty-five, in
Gitmer county, are doing well and are
we'll q~uarantined.
The postmaster at Addison is broken
out with the disease. Not having been
exposed, the only theory is that it was
caught through handling the mail.
Commencing tomorrow the passen-
ger trains between Weston and Sutton
and Weston and Camden-on4Gauley
will be abandoned. There will only be
one mixed train on this division, leav-
ing Weston at 4 a.. M, running through
to Camden-on-Gauley and returning the

Murphvsboro VIII Not Purchase the

There has been some talk lately of
Murphysboro buying the water works

the following however, which comes
from Murphysboro it may be inferred
that the deal is Oft:
"a las meeting of the citizens was
held at the court house Monday night
to consider the proposition of W. H.
Wheeler q Co., of Chicago, to pur-
chase the water works, electric and
gas light plants, expend some $50. 600
in improving the same and sell it to
the city, taking in payment water GER
tificates issued against the earnings
of the plants. Mayor L. W. Ellis was
elected chairman of tie meeting. The
proposition was explained by a repre-
sentative of the company. after which
the question was discussed pro and
con. The feeling seemed to be unan-
imous that the price asked, s115. 900,
was an unreasonable one, and a res
olution was adopted, the substance of
which was that the citizens of Muir
physboro did no: wish to purchase
the water works and light plants I'M

who was a strong temperance man.
He became involved in an alteration
with a saloon keeper named Dondcro.
The latter told the preacher that were
it not for his calling he would lick
him, and the good brother told him
he need not stand back on that ac-
count. The two adjourned with some
friends to 4 convenient barn where
they had "a regular prize fight. and
the preacher knocked out Dondero in
the fifth round. But the saloon man
has finally beaten the preacher in an
other way. There vas an election in

A STRONG CHARGE To
THE FIRST GRAND JURY
Judge Humphreys Lays Down The
Law To That Body
HE SAYS IT MUST FEARLESSLY MEET
ITS DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITY TIES
Circuit Court Jurist Points Particularly to the
Need of Reforming Liquor and
Prostitution Evils.

Perhaps the general public had some
inkiing OF the interesting and even sem
sationai statements concerning the
morals OF this city that were to be
made by Judge Humphreys to the
grand jury. At any rate there was
such n throng at the Judiciary build
ting as has not been seen there for
many a moon when the August term
OF the Circuit Court was opened and
the grand and petit juries drawn.
The seating capacity was taken up
completely and the portion of the court
behind the bar was rapidly filling up
with spectators when Judge Hum
phreys with Judge silllman came to
the bench. Judge Humphreys imme-
diately issued an order restraining the
portion Of the court behind bar To
members OF the learned professions"
Judge Humphreys then got right
down TO business and the High Sheriff
called together the grand jurymen.
They were George X. Carter. III. II.

tace. n. n. Waity was appointed fore
man.
Mr.. spalding pleaded 20 be excused
from attendance at the sessions OF the
Jury alleging that II would much inter-
fere with his business but Judge
Humphreys would have none of such
excuses and Mr.. Spalding resigned
himself TO his fate with n sigh. Sew
erai other men who had hoped to Sc
cure the ear OF the court and be excus-
ed for the same reasons lost their
nerve after that and sat still and de-
cided to take their medicine. The only
one 10 be excused was George X. Car
ter who is n member Of the Tax Ap-
peal court and could not be spared
from Its sessions. A. r. Cooke was
drawn In his stead.
=. T.. Cooke was a few minutes late
and those few moments cost him the
sum OF SIS In hard cash. He pleaded
In extenuation Of his tardlness the fac
that the early morning hours had pass
ed so quickly that II was 10 o'clock be
fore he realized ~. Judge Humphrey
fined him SIS so that he might not b'
forgetfui another time. Mr.. Cook
held n conference with Attorney Geo
Davis and presently the latter came ul
with an affidavit giving reasons for th
delay OF Mr.. Cooke In appearing Il
court and asked that the fine be remit
ted but Judge Humphreys refused I
accept excuses and Mr.. Cooke had Z
pay.
: The jury was In session nearly tn
/, entire day. but owing to the restric
