We believe that all observing
persons will admit that Sistersville
is enjoying quite a boom this
spring. There Is a good demand for
houses to rent of the better kind
A comfortable house with from FIVE
to seven rooms, with modern con.
veniences and In a good location
can be rented readily here now to
a class of tenants who will take
good care of the property, and pay
the rent promptly. On Saturday
evening. we had seven different
persons seeking house to rent.
There Is no doubt about the
demand for good houses being
better here today than we have
ever had for years. They are peo-
pie who have wandered around
over the different oil fields and
have at last decided to locate here.
They are people who want to locate
In the city because 1t Is mighty
good town to locate In. We won
der that more good houses are not
built by some of our capitalists
who have thousands of dollars ly-
Ing idle In Our banks getting little
or no interest on their money. A
house that would cost fifteen hun
dred dollars can readily be rented
at from twenty to twenty. five dol
lars month. The days for rent
Ing shack houses are past. The
owners of such property will do
we'll to tear them down and build
good houses or else rebuild the
shacks.
Not only Is the demand for
houses good but business men
all report that they are
doing a very satisfactory bus
mess. We believe we will
soon have men here at work on the
railroad. Tomorrow the first train
will be run over the Clarksburg
Electric railroad. The capitalists
who built that road will build our
road. They have sent word to
this city to the effect that at a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Clarksburg road which will be held
tomorrow 1t Is confidently expected
the company will order the work
to begin on this road to Middle
bourne. Such Is our information
and we have no doubt about its
being true. This means an influx
of working people to our city to the
amount of from three to FIVE hun
dred at least. 1t means plenty of
work for all this summer. Add to
to this our general prosperity and
we are certainly going to have a
boom here this spring and summer.
lust look out and see If we are not
right about 1t.

Dennis Flynn made a great
speech in congress few days ago
for statehood for Oklahoma. In
closing he said: ''Why should Ok
lahoma. SO large, SO populous, so
intelligent, and so prosperous, be
governed differently from the
states you represent? Why should
our territory, with its great popu-
lati on, with its manifest intellig-
en- ce, with it's unbounded wealth

with its unlimited prosperity, De
denied the right to vote Tor the
president of the United States, to-
elect its own governor, to choose
its o wn judges, and to make us
own laws? The prosperous ana
intelligent people of.Oklahoma are
tired of a territorial form OF gov
ernnaent and strenuously object 70
longer marching in procession
tied by congress which, though
trying to be just and kind, Is not
at all times able to appreciate the
local situation or to give much
nee ded and speedy relief Our
peo pie believe that they possess
not only the right to be heard but
the right to vote in the councils OF
the nation, and they now ask that
they be permitted to exercise that
right. As has been said IN the
past Of another great territory
which was making its last demand
for admission, Oklahoma is "a
peerless beauty in resources, In
wealth, in numbers, and in intel
| ligence, the pride of all America,
yet ignored by congress and denied
the right to enter her fathers 8
house," We hope that will not
be true as far as this house is con-
cerned when the hour arrives to
record your votes. The only way
to encourage people who have
zone forth and builded new com.
! mon wealth Is to give them to un-
derstand that there is still room
for q star on the flag, invite them
to prepare their star, and !. for
one, will guarantee to you 40 act
Of any Of these territories will ever
cast odium or stain upon Old
Glory"

STRONG INFLUENCE.
HAS Been Enlisted for the Meas
ure and One More Determined
Effort Will Be Made to
Effect It's Pass-

II the present session Of Con-
sress is protracted until the mid
die Of July. as now seems probable
an effort will be made to secure
tho passage Of the house bill pro-
yiding statehood for Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona. This
decision has been reached. after
conference between the delegates
from the three territories and SEN
ators Quay and Elkins.
Senator Quay is member OF
the senate committee on territories
and has promised TO make a
special effort TO secure favorable
report upon the bill as it came
from the house. He has made a
canvass of the committee and has
assured the delegates that a ma
joriiy OF the members Of the COM
mittee will vote for favorable re-
port upon the bill and will urge
its passage by the senate.
Senator Elkins is also enthusi-
asiically in favor OF the bill and
has sgreed 10 make it's passage q
personal matter, so far as possible
He believes that there will be al
least fifty votes for the bill in the
senate II the committee will report
ii favorably. He and Senator
Quay will make personal Request
for report Of the measure by The
committee.
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana
chairman of the senate committed
on territories, has been generally
understood to be opposed to the
bill. He has assured the friends
of statehood that he has taken nc
position on the bill, but has be
lieved it would be impossible tt
have the measure considered a
the present session of congress
He has stated also that he viii
not oppose report on the bill b,
the committee if friends Of th'
measure will furnish him the ss
surance that there is prospect o
securing action upon the measur
before adjournment.
The canvass that has been mad
among the senators shows that th
opposition to the bill is not a
pronounced as it was earlier in tn
session. Senator Quay is con
vinced that the bill should b
passed. He has been urged by
large number Of Pennsylvanisns 4

Senator Trs:nor believes that an habie
ual drunkart should be sequestered and
treated in many respects the same as iu.
natic. The Senator has introduced bill
in the Legislature at Albany which per.
mits the commitment OF man charged
with habitual drunkenness to an 'nstitu.
tion from which he canno, escape without
an order from the Supreme Court. The
bill in other forms has been introduced Tor
the last three years. and has always been
opposed for it's drastic assumption that 4
drunkard is unable to take care OF him
self or manage his affairs. 1t has been
pointed out by those averse to the Trainor
plan that there are so many varying de-
rrces of drunkenness that there might be
danger of a wealthy man who drank free

An Old, Old Story Told Again.

To be born with good body, pleasing
eountenance, quick intelligence, fine
voice and talent that wins early recogni-
tion-that, surely, Is q heritage to be
grateful for.
a man who was thus endowed died in
Boston on Sunday.
Time was when people would crowd thea
tres to hear him sing and see him dance
and laugh at his fun. g,
He made immense sums OF money and
might easily have retired with wealth be-
fore he was forty.
Instead, he died penniless at tifty.six in
a poor lodging house, separated from his
family, and all bis friends were t.r-d OF
irving to save HIM from himself.

That one word is the epitaph OF Ci!ly

in his way no: so very long ago.
And he differed from the countless
wrecks whom he went to pieces on'y in his
greater natural gifts and the larger oppor-
tunitics for better things which those gifts
brought him.
He had plenty Of brains and seemed to
have good sense.
But that was not so. No man with good
sense will drink whisky when experience
tells him that he likes it too well.
