Is Fact in SistersviIIe Today. The Gentlemen
Have Positively Decided to Build the Road
FROM SHTERSVILLE TO MDDLEBOURNE
At Once No Delays on the Work. Road Will be Completed in
Six Months if Weather Permits.

We are more than pleased to an
nouuce to our readers that the long
talked of, the much cussed and dis
cussed Electric railroad from Sis
tersviile to Middlebourne Is to be
built at last. Yesterday Mr.. Miller
and a civil engineer went over the
route and made careful estimate
of the route. The company will
follow the Macadam turnpike as
far out as the iron bridge across the
Pursley creek, leaving the pike
only for turnout switches and to
cut off sharp bends In the road.
From the iron bridge the line will
60 up the run, over the Evans
farm, down Eogle's run and on
into Middlebourne which will make
the road less than nine miles long
and very easily constructed. Mr.
Miller and his engineer came into
the CITY late last night from the
trip and more than pleased with
the prospects of building the road.
Mr.. Miller says nothing that he
can Imagine will prevent them
60, hriid;no the road. He says
the TYLER Railroad company can
have everything they want IN the
way of positive assurance his com
pany will build the road, for that
Is exactly what they intend on DO
Ing. He further says work on the
road will begin at once ana com,
pleted as rapidly as possible. II
this Is done inside of the next SIX =,
months at the farthest the road will
be In running order If the weather
Is not too bad this winter. Some
farms will be touched here and
theie and we hope all land owners
will promptly sign the rights OF
way. 1t will make every farm the
road goes through worth a great
deal more money than 1t would
bring now. Every farmer can well
afford to give the right of way or
ANYTHING else the company will ask
for. Land on Pursley and along
this road will be worth 500 an
acre inside of the next five years
gf:er the road is built. We are
more than pleased with the recep
ton which Is being given by our
people here and at Middlebour n
Everv man woman and the child
rem even ere ready, willing and
anxious to do everything In their
power to get the road. Mr.. Miller
IS more than pleased with the re-
ception the people have given to
him and we hope the encouraging
work and words will be continued
This road means so much tor our
people throughout the county Its
the beginning of a railroad system
that will In time extend from one
end of the county to the otner'
Men are at work on the road today
and will continue to work until 1t IS
completed There Is considerable
preliminary work to do but 1t IS De
Ing pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. On to Middlebourpe'
as our neiehbors cry, Is all right
but It's on to Middlebourne via
Sistersville. If those Five" com
panies the Martinsville liar talks
about want to build a road to MID
dlebourne, all we'll and good NOT
a man in this city will say augnt
against 1t.

A Wonderful Decd.

Mr.. John Ware, residing in the
country six miles from Aberdeen, re-
ceived last Thursday a valuable and
unexpected present. it was pair of
slippers from Mrs. VIM. Mckinley, of
Canton, O., crocheted by her own hands,
for the mother of Lieut.. James E.
Ware Of the Thirty-eighth United
States Infantry, who is in command of
the detachment guarding the grave of
President Mckinley until his tomb
was completed. The present was sent
in recognition of Lieut.. Wares fidelity
to his trust and in appreciation of at
tentions and courtesies to Mrs. Nc
kinley while in the discharge of his
duties. Lieut.. Ware enlisted as first
sergeant of Company L, Second Mis-
sissippi Volunteers, and served through
the Spanish-American campaign. He
served two years in the Philippine
volunteer army, then passed an ex-
animation and entered the Thirty
eighth regular infantry and was ap-
pointed to lieutenancy.

whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three months old, and
owing to our giving them Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, they lost none
of their plumpness and came out in
much better health than other children
whose parents did not use this remedy.

are both now splendid citizens of this

Mr.. Summers is member of the
Baptist church, and has always en-
joyed the confidence and esteem OF
friends and of those by whom he has
been surrounded.
On the occasion of the anniversary
of his birth last Wednesday there were
fifty-five guests present, only six OF
whom we're not related to the Sum
mers family. A royal feast was spread
beneath the ample shade of mulberry
and cypress trees, near the old log
house where, years ago had nestled the
little ones who now gathered about
with their own children and grand
children. The sight was an inspiring
one and the two ''good gray heads
seemed to fully appreciate the festiv
tiles and entered quietly, but hastily
into the enjoyment of it ALL.

TALMAGE IS DEAD
Noted Divine Passes Away After
an Illness Contracted
in Mexico.

Washington, April 13.-Dr. Talmagc
died at O'Clock last evening. The last
futter of breath in the life of DR.. Tai
mage was discerned just after 8 o'clock.
The end was most peaceful one, the
dying clergyman sinking slowly into his
last rest. For the last forty-eight hours
he had been unconscious in his sick
room, unable to rouse himself from the
final lethargy. The physicians at his
bedside made attempt after attempt to
bring signs OF life to his face, applying
stimulants, but without success.
DR.. Talmage was taken Ill in Mexico
six weeks ago while on trip there. His
complaint aroused no anxiety at the time
and he himself was inclined to make
light OF it. Because of his age, however,
the malady developed more rapidly than
either he or any one else with him upon
the Mexican trip could have thought
possible. Upon consultation with Amer
lean physicians by telegraph Dr.Talmage
was advised to return to his home imme-
diatey, and when he returned he became
at first slowly, then rapidly, weaker, and
all hopes for his recovery were given up.
Cerebral Inflammation was announced
Wednesday, and it was belived he would
live but few hours.
The funeral will take place at o. clock
Tuesday afternoon from the Church of
the Covenant The services will be very
simple. There will be no funeral sermon,
but short addresses concerning the life
and works of DR.. Talmage will be made
At 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning the
interment will take place in the family
lot at Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn.
