nB. & o." WILL DISAPPEAR.
Wn Finally Take the Name Of the
Pennsylvania Like All Other
PurehnRe.

1t is the prevailing opinion in rail-
road circles that the Baltimore and
Ohio system will soon be entirely an
sorbed by the Pennsylvania. and that
the management of the latter will be
extended over the former. This will
involve the shift of several hundred
officers of high and low rank in the
service of the old Baltimore e. Ohio.
Since the Pennsylvania became the
CO nsroller of the Baltimore and Ohio
there has been evidence that the form
er was attempting in every way POSI-
BILE to bury the identity of the latter.
1t is even said that the name of the
Baltimore and Ohio may be abandon
ed and that of the Pennsylvania sub
stltuted. Gradually the Pennsylvania
has been extending its jurisdiction
over the management of the Baltimore
and Ohio. Systems of accounting and
established customs IL traffic arrange
ments of the latter have given way to
Pennsylvania forms.
The two big systems have long since
ceased to be competitors even in the
mildest sense. The Pennsylvania IS
the dominant power and no action on
the part OF the Baltimore and Ohio is
taken without the approval of its new
owner
There is every reason why the Penn
sylvania should attempt to bury the
Baltimore and Ohio. The two sys-
TENS have been the principal roads in
the Chicago -Plttsburg, Washington
Baltimore, Philadelphia. New York
business, and it was TO obliterate this
connection that the Pennsylvania
bought controlling interest In the
Baltimore and Ohio 1t has been the
history of the Pennsylvania that when
ever it bought another road the iden-
tity of the latter was sooner or later
lost.
1t is not believed that the PennsyI-
vania will depart from precedent with
the Baltimore and Ohio, and that in u
comparatively short time this road,
like the Panhandle. Vandalia, Grand
Rapids and Indiana and others that
have been bought, will.be completely
merged with the greater system, and
operated merely as part of the same
Chicago CronicIe.

proucnT THROUGHOUT STATE.

Morgantown, W. Va, Nov. 15.-The
State agricultural experimental sts
ton has word from the wheat grow
ing sections of the State that the
drought has probably ruined the crop
for next year. The severity of the
drought is such. according to the re-
ports. that great distress prevails.
Cattle are being driven to water many
miles and there is little for domestic
consumption on the farms. Yester-
day a heavy rain fell in this county,
but not enough to do much permanent
good. Cheat river and the Mononga'
hela are both full of timber waiting
for rise.

BOARD OF HEALTH NOTICE
FACTS ABOUT the PREVALENCE or
DIPHrHERIA IN THIS CITY.
DR.. Myers, the Local Health Omcer, HES
Made an Investigation and Finds
That Facts Have Been Ex-
aggerated-s Sug-
Resetons
gessions.

In view of the prevalence Of throat
diseases in this community, of which
some are diphtheritic, but the vast
majority non-diptherltic in character,
some precautionary suggestions in the
guidance of those interested may not
be out Of place at this time.
Whes a child or young person has
a sore throat, with an offensive breath
and fever, it should be at once sepa-
rated from all other per Sons except
ing necessary attendants. until it is
ascertained BIZ physician wheth er
or not 1t has diphtheria or some 9th
er communicable disease.
When diphtheria is suspected or
known to exist, the first thing is to
secure complete isolation of the pa
tient from his family, excepting the
nurse, and from the public, and so
continue until physician declares
all danger is over.
The patient should be placed in the
upper part of the house il possible
in a well lighted and well ventilated
room. From which all unnecessary
furnishings should be removed. No
person but the nurse and the physi-
clan should enter the sick room until
the patient has recovered and the
room has been disinfected. Small
rags should be used for receiving the
secretions from the mouth and nose
and burned Immediately after use.
Playthings used during sickness should
also be burned, and dogs and cats
carefully kept out Of the room.
Clothing from the patient and nurse.
when changed should be immersed in
a solution of Bichloride of Mer curry,
one to two thousands strength. for
hours and subsequently boiled. All
glasses, cups etc. used bv the patient
should be thoroughly cleaned in boil
ing water and IN all matters, perfec t
cleanliness enjoined.
BY attention TO the above, and rig
lulf Liz Oub ihStA ny viz
physician, the public need have no
fear of an epidemic. Upon careful
investigation recently made and from
such information as can now gather
the facts are mis-stated and reports
greatly exaggerated. The imputation
that nothing has been done by the To-
cal authorities is equally false and
without semblance OF truth. All
complaints, thus far reported have re-
ceived careful attention. Ii physicians
will report their contagious cases in
this Office and any inability to secure
the necessary cooperation by the fam
lilies afflicted. every effort, backed by
legal assistance If necessary, will be
invoked, that the public NAV have
all the protection that the law and in
telligent management can provide
