LEG CRUSHED.
O. R. Firemen Had Close Call. Fell OF
Pilot Onto the Track Near
a Switch.

William Grandon, passenger
fireman on the Ohio River division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
had a foot and ankle badly mashed
Sunday morning and will probably
have to have them amputated. He
was coming south from Wheeling
on train No. 7oI, which is due here
about 8:52 a. m. and was riding on
the pilot of the engine just as 1t
neared Ben's Run, preparatory to
jumping off when the switch was
reached In order to throw 1t and let
the train on a sliding. Just as he
was about to jump off and the
train was going very slowly he
slipped from the pilot to the track
and the pony truck ran over his
foot at the ankle, crushing 1t terri
bly,. He was picked up and
brought down on his own train to
Petersburg where a physician at
tended him and he was taken to the
city hospital.
Grandon Is a resident of River
side where he boarded with his
parents. He Is quite a popular
young fellow and his friends were
all sorry to hear of his unfortunate
accident.

Team.
Under the chaperonage of Capt
Carr, Sistersvllle's ball players ar
rived In the city yesterday, says
the Parkersburg News, and are still
here, In fact they will remain until
tomorrow. The first game of the
series of three was played on the
Association grounds yesterday and
resulted In the defeat of the Oilville
representatives by score OF ID to
S.
The visitors presumed before the
game that they would win easily
and some of them had the nerve to
wager some of their money on such
an opinion.
Collins, the much printed about
twirler, was the mark who did the
box work that allowed Leonard's
aggregation to pile up the larger
number of tallies. Cars warriors
could not hit Devore even, batting
his delivery for eight hits. a trick
that Is considered easy by most OF
the teams that have tried him to
the detriment of his standing In
local ball circles.

fact that there has been organized
In the fertile mind of Prof, John.
son S. S. S., an organization that
will no doubt live for ages to come
and make the Professor as well as
Sistersville famous. After looking
over the situation prayerfully the
Professor has decided that what
this country needs In order to save
tbs another religious denomination
which he has started and has or
gained, having passed bylaws and
adopted a constitution In writing.
The new denomination or church
will be known now and In the ages
to come as the movable church"

our readers who may not be able
to fully comprehend what the name

no space today to review all
of the bylaws of this new or.
ganization and will have to content
ourselves with a short review
of by. law No. 2. There Is not an
other church organization 10 the
world that has as yet thought OF or
made such a wise demand and TAX
en- so much caution as bylaw No.
provides for. While It's true
that some churches have indirectly
enacted laws, rules and regulations
governing this matter, still 1t IS re.
served for Prot. Johnson, S. S. S.,
to originate this idea as provided
by bylaw No. 2. This bylaw
says In substance that no minister
of the ENJOYABLE Church" will be
allowed to make love to another
mans wife. This will prevent all
Republican newspaper editors from
entering The profession of minister

Gratis will no doubt flock to the
church In great numbers. The
Professor says he will start for
Charleston shortly to begin the
work of establishing his church.

the colored ladies may 60 to fool
Ing around him, prior to his en-
tering upon his work, he Is going
to get married and then he will be
safe. Of all the rules passed by
any denomination so far, none of
them are like bylaw No. and the
professor Is to be congratulated in
originating one Idea and to think
up such a wise law must have
caused him to spend many sleepless
nights in thought. We will note
the progress of the church and re.
port from time to time. We might
add for the encouragement of the
members of this church that bylaw
No. only applies to ministers.
The professor says If ministers 60

wives they have their heads full of
love and get 1t mixed up In their
sermons. This no doubt accounts
for the way a good many preachers
get mixed up and ramble around

So Nippy sat down and watched
them gnawing away. How he wished
his master knew such a good butcher
man as theirs did, so that he, too,
could have nice juicy bones!
The butcherman came out of the
house talking angrily to himself.
Here, get out of the way, you
dogs!" he said, shaking his basket ut
Rex and Boxer. My, how quickly
those two big dogs skunk off with their
bones in their mouths.
Poor Nippy, he too, dropped his
tail between his legs and turned to
run away. No bones for him today.

The camphor habit Is said to be the
latest fad among fashionable women.
Object-to improve the complexion,
the idea being prevalent that the gum
taken in small quantities will impart
a peculiarly clear creaminess to the
skin. Whether this is true or not sci
ence fails to tell us. It is enough that
the idea prevails, and among the fash
ionable. The habit is by no means
healthy, however. Where large doses
are the rule it readily degenerates into
slavery, and at no time is it to be
recommended. Camphor- eating, what
ever it's effect upon the complexion,
tends to extreme weakness, lassitude
and an ever present longing for sleep.
So even if the skin may improve, the
wits are likely to suffer through the
camphor habit, states the New York
Evening Sun.

TRYING TO HARMoNIZE.
Tho Democracy IL Having n Hard
Time Smoothing Out Fractional
Differences.

According to the tenor of great
deal of newspaper talk, democratic
party reorganization goes merrily on,
but it goes on in such a balky sort
of way, that the man who can put
his finger on any spot and say: This
is the nucleus of the future har-
monized democracy" ought to be
elected permanent political weather
prophet. Is there any leader of pres
idential magnitude who offers rally
ing point? Oh, no! There is David b.
Hill, he is out for it, but if it be true
that Bryan still controls even third
of the party it is just as true that
that control will prevent any nom
nation of Hill, or a Hill man in 1904.
German has his eye on the place, but
the same influence stares him malig-
nantly in the face. Bryan himself is
out of the question, even IL his own
modesty does not preclude his candi-
dacy. All that is left of leadership
above the horizon clusters sporad-
ically about the names of Tom john
son, of Cleveland Carter Harrison,
of Chicago; Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Olney, of Massachusetts,,
says the San Francisco Argonaut.
But surely there are issues that will
unite the party! Oh, no, not par
ticularly. They are all agreed on
certain vague principles known as
Jeffersonian, but on matters of prac-
teal value in winning elections, sew

ship, but he is willing to abdicate il
thereby he can secure the success OF
his faction.
The reorganizers lay entirely toe
much stress upon the belief that Bryan
is anxious again to lead the national
democracy as its candidate. As a
matter of fact, that is very little in
his mind. What concerns him most
Is the fear that through apathy the
reins of leadership may drift back
into the hands that formerly held
them.
His concern is to prevent this and
to secure the nomination in 1904 OF
some man who stands with him upon
the main planks of the Kansas City
PLATFORM. Here in Nebraska it Is be

that the Philippine question is avail

with his backing of popularity still
remaining, is able to keep the reorgan-

confused. A democratic suggestion is
that If Croker and Bryan must re-
tire in the interest of harmony, Others
ought to retire, too, and the suggester
pertinaciously sticks the point of the
suggestion into David B" Hill. 1t is
not a bad idea. The first step toward
harmony should be to clear the
ground. AS long as the old warehouses
