Work has Presented Drivers From Be-
ing As Cruel as they Want to Be
Some Examples of the Fear Caused
BY this Orgunization-Ci Citizens Co.
operate With it.
Some instances of cruelty to ami
mails still call for rebuke about here,
especially to horses, Teams are over
loaded, and then the faithful beasts
beaten because they cannot pull the
heavy burdens, they were never
built TO draw.
Recently fragrant offense of this
kind came near being brought to the
notice of the Humane Society, which
society has served as a protection to
many dumb animals. A team was
drawing heavy load in South Park
while two smart alexis were annoy
ing the driver by speaking to his
horses. Finally when he stopped to
rest his team on very steep section
of the street near dwelling house
the two fellows got four bricks and
piuCSu OuC III IlOnb VI cdCH WHICH,
and dared the driver to keep his
lines straight and pull over them.
He was just preparing to do it when
woman, her heart is always touch
ed by cruelty appeared and declared
her intention of giveng the names of
the offenders to the Humane Socl-
ETY.. Immediately the smart alexis
secuted over the hill and the driver
turned his heavily loaded wagon
around the distractions.
Sympathetic women and the Ac
tive Humane Society do much to
deter cruel drivers and horse mas
tiers from mistreating their beasts.
Much reform has been accomplished
here since the organization of this
society, and there is still room for
more, especially among drivers. The
latter sometimes speak in rather I'M
complimentary terms of the society,
as when one of them was heard to
say he would give his team good
beating il it were not for that ID
Humane Society. But this shows
that it exercises a considerable re
straint On those who would be cruel.

Quarantine to be Lifted.

The small pox scourge over Cheat
is so we'll in hand now that DR.. War
rem thinks the quarantine will be
removed this week, probably as early
as Thursday. All suspects have had
abundant time to develop the disease
and no further danger is apprehended.
DIR. Warren is to be commended for
the very prompt and efficient manner
in which he stamped the dread disease
out SO soon.

ATKINSON FOR JUDGE
Of the United States Court of
Claims.


President May Appoint Him to the Va
cancy Caused by Death Of Justice
Davis at an Early Date.
Elk Governor G. w. Atkinson
stands good chance of being select.
ed by President Roosevelt to fill the
vacancy on the Court of Claims
caused by the death of Justice John
Davis. The President likes Mr.. At
kinson. and in addition would be
glad to please Senators Scott and
Elkins, who. backed by the repre-
sentatives of West Virginia, urge
the claims of the former governor of
the state Mr. Atkinson is now the
United States attorney of the South
ern district of West Virginia He
would have been made judge of that
district when it was created by Con-
gress but for the fact that President
Mckinley felt that Governor Atkin-
son had been connected in a legal
way with some cases that might
arise to trouble him if he became
judge B. f. Kellar was selected for
the position.
Mr.. Atkinson's legal qualifications
for the Court of Claims bench are
ample, and Senator Scott is urging
the President to make the appoint
ment for the good it would do polit-
ically in West Virginia and because
Mr.. Atkinson deserves this recogni-
ton.

A BIG HOUSE.


One often hears hotel men boast
about the size of their houses and how
many people they can accommodate.
Col. Williams of the Tavern does very
little talking, but since the new adj
dition to the hotel has been eomplet-
ed he has ninety-four guests rooms,
and can take care of as many people as
any hotel in the state. He has use for
just that many, too.
SUNDAY EVENING DINNER.
Mccoy & Slack, the new lessees of
the hotel Watson, have inaugurated a
feature that has never yet been tried
here. 1t is serving the dinner on Sun
day at six In the evening instead of at
the noon hour. This change has been
made to satisfy the demands of many
Fairmont families who go out for
their main Sunday meal and who all
want it in the evening, The service
was in effect last Sunday and was
pronounced very enjoyable by the
home people who were there for tie
meal.

NEW CLUES.
Detectives Think Jones Murderers
We're White men Disguised as Being
Black.

Special to the New Dominion.
MORRIS X ROADS Pa. Detectives
freely admit that the Jones murder
is about the most difficult problems in
crime that they have tackled for some
time. After following hundreds of
clues they have nothing tangible on
which TO work. Still they are not
discouraged.
They are now working on what may
be new clew in the Jones case. It
is now the belief of many that the
robbery and murder was committed
by parties living in this vicinity, and
that they were white but were black
ed for purpose. Sensational arrests
are likely to be made soon

Open Doors for the Investigation.

The anthracite coal strike commission is
to be congratulated on it's decision to admit
the public to all formal hearings. The pub
lie may not after few days avail itself of
the privilege. for the proceeding will not be
likely to carry or develop any sensational
features. but the fact that everything Is
open will disarm all who are constitution
ally captious Closed doors in matters of
public concern somehow offend the Ameri-
can sense Of things. The people want to
know or to have the privilege of knowing IL
they want to know, what Is going on. Pri-
vate meetings by public servants suggest
hocuspocus. Gossip Is certain to start I'D
about star chamber methods and 1t some
times prejudices people against proceedings
entirely regular and straightforward. The
work of the coal commission will not there

Mr.. Plat in the Campaign.

It Is very hard to please some people. Re
marks are made In more than one quarter
about the passivity of Mr.. Platt in the New
York campaign. Why, 1t Is asked. does he
not bestir himself? Is he sulktng? His
name has scarcely been mentioned since the
campaign began. Ordinarily his every move
Is noted and his lightest remark quoted
while the two parties are battling for SUI
premacy But this time he has cut no figure
at all.
From these same sources criticisms have
come In the past about Mr.. Platts too great
activity. Then it was complained that he
ebowed everybody out OF the way, and ag-
gressively. from first to last, held the center
Of the stage. He was lectured for bump
tiousness and bossism, and assured that his
party would fare better he would keep
somewhat In the background. If his party
happened to win he was told that but for his
prominence In the fight the majority would
have been larger. If his party lost, the dis
aster was ascribed largely to him.
Mr. Plat has been boss, and upon the
whole a very successful one. but in the
proper sense of that word he is a boss no
longer Within the past few years his
Judgment has several times been openly
challenged and his plans upset. Younger
men In the party have prevailed against him.
This was conspicuously the case at the
recent republican state convention, where
his wishes as to the lieutenant governorship
were set aside, and the platform was recast
after he had given his orders. Governor
Odell had It OUT with him at a midnight
conference, and in effect directed the pro-
ceedings of that body.
But Mr.. Plat Is not sulking. He IS
simply keeping the place in the fight 20
which fortune has assigned him. His share
of the winning, If success crowns the repub-
lican effort, is to be reelection to the
Senate. He Is to have no opposition and
with that office he will be entirely content.
For the rest Governor Odell Is responsible,
and he is taking the lead He knows ths
state thoroughly. Is proving himself to be
good campaigner, and Mr.. Platt is mani
Testing no uneasiness as to the result.
There seems to have been upon the whole
as gentle reinforcement and considerate
an assumption Of power as could have been
effected Mr.. Platt handed over the scep.e-
at Saratoga without a scene, and Governor
Odell took 1t without a flourish. The one
mans day had ended; the others had be-
gun. But they remained friends, and the
new arrangement seems as likely to work
we'll as did the old.

Ungallant Canadian Game Wardens.

the discriminating tendencies of modern

usually Of the same character, but some

with some success when she was suddenly
confronted by a large moose. She was not
seeking that kind Of game and when the moose

still remained In an ugly, challenging mood
and there was prospect Of her being kept
prisoner for some time, she shot 1t and es-
capped from her predicament 1t so hap
pened that the affair occurred just over the
line in New Brunswick. where the law re-

sumabiy bears do not count as they are

least of gallantry to freed Dianas.
