rections In your report OF the recent
real estate deal consummated by the
Board Of Trustees OF the M. e. church
Of this city In your issue of yes
terday, 1t was stated that Miss Emma
Boughner had offered TO the trustees
of said church strip Of land rs feet
wide and $50 feet deep for the sum OF
100000. 1t cannot be strictly said
that Miss BoughneT voluntarily made
such an offer, but was compelled by
the force OF circumstances to come to
some kind of an agreement with the
Chairman OF the Board OF Trustees OF
The said church, or TO submit to hav-
ing the condemnation proceedings go

ed as sufficient remuneration for the
strip Of land In question, il was ac-
cepted as the lesser of two evils.
1t should also be understood that
the disposal OF the Is feet Of land will
necessitate either the removal or coIu-
plete demolition OF the whole struc-

THE ELKINS BOYS
Something about the Senators Sens
who are Visiting in This County near
M0rgantOwn.


who are Visiting in This County near
Morgantown.
The following taken from the Fair
mont Times about the Elkins boys
will be read with interest here:
Richard X. and Davis Elkins have
been about Fairmont considerably of
late; also at Morgantown. They are
sons of senator Stephen B. Elkins,
who is the big boss In the Republican
party of this state. The father has
made fortune In West Virginia.
The sons are likely to do likewise.
They are young and progressive and
earnest. Davis is the Oldest Of the
Senator's Sous. There are four Of
them. Davis is rs, Stephen, Jr., %,
and Richard X. about 23. Another
son, the youngest, is yet in school, and
is 81. They are all sturdy lads They
are all college men of Yale, Harvard
and Princeton. The Senator tried all
the leading colleges with his boys.
Richard K, or ssDick," as he is
famiiiarly known, is a clean cut,
shrewd, money making fellow. Tall,
smooth face, inclined to be boyish in
appearance, but having The judgment
in some matters Of man of 40. He
recently cleaned up S20, 900 on coal
deal on his own account. He has a
desire to make money. He is fond of
outdoor exercises, lover of horses
and dogs, quite aesthetic in some
tastes, yet full of business. spending
much time in Fairmont and Morgan.
town looking after some pending coal
deals. Hon. G. w. Swisher is ass0ci-
ated with them in several enterprises
of this sort.
"Dick" Elkins is more reserved than
his elder brother although he is socia-
BILE and laxative. He talks, but Doesn't
tell all he knows. This is char
acteristic of both brothers. They
get the trait from their distinguished
father. ''Dick" smiles while he
talks, as if he was amused because he
was holding back SO much lnforma-
nation his interviewer sought. His
eyes are blue and have a merry twin
kle as he talks. He has a monstrous
uOubui Bpuu uUoty splcuuld lOitutdu
and large feet. Dick Elkins is good
specimen of the young manhood which
is moving the world nowadays.
Davis Elkins is named for his grand
father, ex-senator Henry G. Davis.
He is opposite from his brother, in
physical characteristics. Davis Elkins
has a round forehead like his father.
He has more of the Senator's facial
features also. He is perhaps less
laxative and more reserved than
Dick, but when he opens up on sub
ject he talks very freely-more so than
Richard Davis is shorter and stout
er than Dick, cares less for horses and
outdoor sports. He is a studious,
thoughtful man and inherits from
the father a faculty for money max
ing. These young men have long
since stopped writing home for
money" While their father is a
millionaire they are money makers,
and have resources of their own.

where it was burning and put it out
with a small hose. His prompt act
tion saved bad fire.

The 'Seven Golden Cities" one OF
the most popular legends of the latter
part of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west of the Af-
rican coast. The island is represented
as abounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples. 'the high towers
of which shone at great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest of Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors, when the inhabit-
ants fled in every direction to escape
slavery, seven bishops, followed by a
great number of people. took to ships
and put boldly out on the high seas
After tossing about for some time they
landed on an unknown island, the fa-
nous spot which in after years became
the seat of the "Seyen Golden Cities.
This island" Heylyn says, was ex-
actly in midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserting and founded the
cities which have become SO famous in
song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators. Those who went in search
of it and never returned were popular
ly believed to have been detained by
its inhabitants.

Railroad Company Acts Fairly.

The Southern Pacific railroad has
set an example in the matter of dis
puted ground, that might be followed
by private individuals to the advantage
of all. The case is that of miners of
Storey county, who made protest
against the railroad securing a patent
on land that they claim is of more
value for mineral than agriculture.
The matter was given hearing before
Register Gallop Monday, and the re-
suit is that the railroad has withdrawn
the disputed land from the map, which
leaves it free to the miners.
The miners placed two men on the
stand who testified to the worth of the
land for its prospective resources. Mr..
Fulton, who represented the company,
did not make contest of the matter
and allowed the miners all they
claimed. Cdrsop Appedi

Sufferers from rheumatism who be-

aches through wearing a certain kind

haps to hear that they are keeping
alive an old superstition that owed it's
origin to one of the ceremonies per-
formed on Good Friday. The ceremo-
ny was called the blessing Of the cramp
rings and was carried out by the king
himself, who went into his private
chapel, accompanied only by his great
almoner, crawled on his knees to the
crucifix and there blessed a silver bowl
full of gold and silver rings. These
rings were afterward distributed to
people who were afflicted with rheu-
matism or epilepsy. The idea is sup
posed to have originated in certain

The Hairspring.

The hairspring of watch is a strip
of the finest steel about 91a inches long
and 01 inch wide and 0027 inch thick.
1t is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered. The process of tempering
these springs was long held as a secret
by the few fortunate ones possessing
it, and even now it is not generally
known. Their manufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip is
gauged to the .020 of an inch but no
measuring instrument has yet been de-
vised capable of fine enough gauging
to determine beforehand by the size of
the strip what the strength of the fin
ished spring will be. A twenty-thou-
sandth part of an inch difference in the
thickness of the strip makes a differ
ence in the running of watch of about
six minutes per hour.

The Baltimore San has received from
the author, Dr. M. A. Veeder, of Lyons,
N. Y, a copy of an article on typhoid
fever from sources other than water
supply" 1t is conceded that many
cases of typhoid fever are caused by
drinking water contaminated with the
excreta of typhoid patients, but there
is, it is contended, a large class of
cases, seemingly inexplicable, in which
the disease is carried by flies, by dust
and by vegetables grown in a contain
mated soil. The typhoid fever germ
lives for a year or more in ordinary
garden earth, surviving in the ground

We've ejust learned that you've decided,
After many years. delay,
To supply the West with Water
If you find the scheme will pay.
We've been praying hard for moisture,
Through the hot and arid years,
But our cry of "Water! Waterp'
Has just lately reached your ears.
Though we're longing for this liquid,
Yet we wouldn't have you think
For solitary minute
That we want the stuff to drink.
We have other kinds of liquids,
From the best brands to the worst,
And they're mighty efficacious
When it comes to quenching thirst.
We maintain out here that Water
It's great function best fulfills
When it irrigates our ranches
And brings power TO, our mills.
If you can't resist the impulse
1HdU llIlpelS you 10 eA Apduu,
You can find room for Expansion
On our ancient arid land.
AS we furnished you with Silver
When you wanted to resume,
Now that you've espoused Expansion,
Well provide the bridal-room.
Come out here and help us finish
What God left about half done
When He turned this desert over
To the Lizard and the Sun.
You can go up in these mountains
And construct a reservoir
For tithe of what you squandered
In your recent foreign war.
You can go down in these valleys
And produce flowing well,
And you need not run your auger
More than half way down to hell
You can dig hundred bitches,
From the Platte to Tonopah,
For much less than you have taxed us
For your ditch at Panama.
With the differential duties
Which you pay the Sugar Trust
You can pump sufficient Water
To forever lay our dust.
If you'll only bring us Water
To our arid lands out West,
We will ask no further favors,
And will quickly do the rest.
We will make this desert blossom
Like the fertile Philippines,
Where you're killing off the natives
While we furnish you the means.
We will show you what strong muscles
When engaged in honest toll,
Can produce on barren uplands
From shallow, sandy soil.
We will fill your empty Golfers
With the stuff you like SO well,-
Then the bankers can't control you,
For you'll have gold bricks to sell.
4 x X X \ x
When this prayer of ours you answer
And our arid lands redeem,
You will see the full fruition
OF our photographic dream.
Then you'll see our verdant valleys,
Smiling meath our azure skies,
Circled by our purple mountains,
Like the wales of Paradise.
What we want out here is Water,
Just plain Water, Uncle Sam,
And we think you ought to bring it
From Governmental Dam.
