Some time ago the Board Of Trade
took up the matter of urging the ap-
by Congress of money to
erect a new custom house building in
Wheeling. Strong resolutions were
adopted, and a committee was ap-
pointed to further consider the matter,
and go to Washington at a time to be
selected by Congressman B. B. Doven-
er, to urge that body to give the mat
ter prompt and favorable considera-
ton. The committee secured consists
of Messrs. j. ]. Holloway, Joseph
Speidel and George Wise.
The committee has taken no action
as yet, but has been awaiting a call
from Congressman Dovener, who
promised to notify them of the proper
time when they could get a hearing.
Yesterday afternoon Secretary S. A.
Thompson, of the Board of Trade, re-
ceived a telegram from Capt. Dovener,
urging the committee to come at once.
He called the members of the commit
tee by phone, and arranged to depart
for Washington on the 1910 O'Clock
train this morning. The committee
will probably be given a hearing by
the Congressional committee to-day.
Secretary Thompson and Walter H.
Rinehart accompanied the committee.
Mr.. Rinehart represents the interests
favorable t. the building of the new
| ~postofflce upon the present site. 1t will
be remembered that many other sites
| have been suggested fer the building,
and that a great deal of contention has
! resulted therefrom.
The committee will return on Satur-
day or Sunday.

Citizens VIII Go to Charleston to
Lobby in the Interest of the Meas

A great deal of local interest is be-
ing manifested in the bill offered in
the Legislature by S. G. Smith, "au-
thorizing the city of Wheeling to gen.
crate, distribute, sell and use electric
ity and gas" The bill has gone
through the House Of Delegates, and
its enemies expect to defeat it in the
Senate. There are lobbyists already
at work against it.
1t is understood that one or two
public spirited citizens will go TO
Charleston to advocate the passage Of
the bill. The Gas Board will also very
likely send a representative down. and
it is expected that Council will do the
same.

he Intended to.

Ninth Street Almost ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
he Intended to.
Probably never since the city of
Rock Island took charge of the Ninth
street road has that thoroughfare
been in as bad condition. as at pres
cnt. especially that portion of it "
ing from Aiken street south past the
Strayer farm. Vt the end of Il dry
season the road bed in the portion
indicated is cut up into deep holes
and i'm places almost impossible for
heavy loads. What it will be in the
spring after the frost has gone out
Of the ground and the spring rains
have come may bc coniectured. In
many places the macadam that once
covered the bed of the road is al
most gone. the little of it that re
mains being broken and mixed up
with the dirt beneath it. In such
places only large stone is left here
and there as further impeachment to
travel. The macadamized road has
reached a stage where it is vastly in
ferior to one of dirt with Il few hills
thrown and now for probably the
first time since the Twelfth street
road has been opened heavy loads of
coal and farm produce may be seen
coming TO town over its hills.
The city spent some money this
year on the Ninth street road and
there was considerable material
haGled into the worst holes. The re-
suit. however, has been far from sat
isfactory. the roughness of the sur
face having rather been increased
than diminished by it. In fact this
road has reached a stage where moth
ing will suffice but an almost entire
rebuilding. and the fact may as well
be realized first as last. As it now
stands it is positive disgrace to the
city, an everlasting annoyance to
those who are compelled to travel
it and the most effective barrier that
can be raised to keep the people from
the south out of town and drive them
elsewhere to trade.

NEvIN BEGINS SUIT
To Recover $4,000 From City
on Storm Drain Con-
tract.
PROCEEDING IN CIRCUIT COURT
Will Seek to Establish His Claim to
Money Due--An Assign
ment.

The praecipe in a suit for SIT 900
styled j. Mulherne and Matthias
Schnell for use of William Nevin VS..
the city of Rock Island was filed to-
day in the circuit court by Attorneys
&. w. McCaskrin, of this city. and
Frank Martin, of Nebraska.
The suit, as the title suggests. is
one for the recovery of the amount
due on the notorious Twenty-fourth
street storm drain and is the logical
sequence of the resolution passed by
the city council at it's last meeting
requesting William Nevin to substan-
tiate his claim to the amount unpaid
which SchneII had seen fit to assign
to St. Anthony's hospital.
BY the action taken Nevin. while
demonstrating what claim he may
have upon what was supposed
Schnelrs affair, will also attempt to
show that the city is bound to pay
the contract price for the construc-
ton of the drain.
The councils resolution is taken as
n partial acknowledgement of indebt-
edness The beginning of suit at
this time precludes the possibility of
the claim. if its validity be establish
ed. being outlawed. as the five-year
limit would have expired in about
month.

The Methodists.

The Central Pennsylvania Meth
odist Episcopal Conference will
meet in annual session in Cham
bersburg on Wednesday, March
9th, and continue in session for
one week.
The Centural Pennsylvania
Conference is one of the largest
in the connection having 81, ,87S
full members and 5,803 probation
ers. There are 248 pastoral
charges, but many of these are
circuits, with from two to five
preaching places. In addition to
those in active service there are
goodly number of veteran
preachers who have retir ed from
active service, but who always
come to conference. Besides
there will be the young candi-
dates for admission to the minis
try and also the secretaries of the
missionary and other benevolent
societies.
Chambersburg gave delightful
entertainment to this religious
body in 1873 and 1888, and al
though it has grown much larger
than it was at that time, it is con
tidently expected that 1t again
will be equally well cared for.
With the superanuates and
supernumeraries, the young can
didates for admission and the
Official representatives of the
church and benevolent societies,
there will be almost, if not quite
three hundred whose entertain
ment must be provided for.

State to Buy Mountain Land.

1t is reported that an effort will
be made by the present legisla.
ture to have the state purchase
all the mountain land in Pennsyl-
vania in order to preserve it, and
save it from the portable saw
mills which ere long will have re-
duced them to practically a bar
rem waste. The measure will be
in charge of the Forestry Com
mission which has given the mat
ter of drouths and severe storms
in the Observation-Disclosures
These gentlemen, after a very
thorough investigation, are con
tideut that the droughts are attri-
butable to the depletion of our
tim ber. They also state that the
severe storms are caused by the
same means, there being little
timber left to break item. This
of course, is a well known fact
and has been repeatedly proven.
Just how the commission intends
that the State shall purchase the
mountain land is not yet made
public.
