SISTERSVILLE.

SISTERSVTLLE March 30-The mu-
nicipal election held on Thursday was
one of the quietest ever held in the
city, and yet for all that there ap-
peared to be very little work being
done on either side yet when the re-
suit of the poll had been counted it
showed one of the GREATEST OIL sur
prises, not only to the Republicans,
who had everything but two Council
men, but to the Democrats as we'll.
Last year the head of the Democratic
ticket only won by Al votes, and this
year the majority was ISL. All of the
other candidates had larger majorities
than they did this year. In fact it was
a veritable landslide for the Demo-
cratic ticket The officers elected for
the ensuing year are Chas- w. Grier,
for mayor; ]. H. Pine, city clerk; w.
F. Little, city collector and treasurer;

ORDER AFFECTING RURAL
CARRIERS
Capacity OF Agents and Solicitors
Longer.

Postmaster General Smith is con
sidering the adsisability Of issuing
an order forbidding rural free deliv-
cry mail carriers from acting In the
capacity Of agents or solicitors for
any commercial firms whatsoever.
1t appears that a large majority Of
the rural carriers in many sections
have become agents for large mail
order houses in the cities and that
they make y practice of soliciting
patronage for the firms they repre-
sent from the people to whom they
carry mail. A howl has been rails
ed by village merchants, as well as
by the little crossroads dealer,
against the practice, which, they al
lege, is running their trade. In adj
dition to the injustice wrought upon
the local dealers the department is
alive to the fact that the carriers
are prone to neglect the serious and
important business OF carrying the
mail safely and quickly, and further
than that, it liz maintained by the
officials OF the department that the
carriers receive sufficient compensa-
ton without the necessity OF resort
ing to private business for the aug
mentation OF their salaries. Should
the order be issued, ane there is
every reason to believe that it will
be, it will be sweeping in its nature.
The solicitation for purchases of all
kinds will be forbidden as we'll as
the sale of mail boxes by carriers
and the solicitation of subscriptions
for all periodicals. In short, barter
ing OF all kinds will be suppressed
once and for all on pain Of absolute
removal

Now that the Baltimore 81 Ohio

SKIRTS SWEEP BACILLI.
German Physicians inauguiate a Short
Dress Crusade Dreadful Things
Found by Medical Men.

A campaign against long skirts has
been opened by the Munich medical
profession. One physician has found
the most terrible bacilli in the trail
of his wife's skirt. Another examined
the sweepings in a concert hall after
the audience had left and found enough
tuberculosis hacilli To poison a regi-
ment A third examined a drawing
room after his wife's reception and
found dreadful things swept in by the
ladies' skirts.
In Dresden a similar movement is
on foot, 4 committee Of the Town
Council has passed instructions to the
police to fine any woman seen in the
street with trailing skirts. This reso-
luton is to be subject to debate in the
full conclave Of the municipality.
An American woman writing to one
of the local papers says: Il never heard
of anything more ridiculous. A strong
wind IN half an hour will set more
bacilli in motion than all the skirts in
Germany do in a year.

The levy was fixed the same as last

1t is felt that they should receive
even more than this but the board

them.
Hervey Snider was elected janitor
