LONDON IS AWAKENED.
Firing of First Shot Causes the skep-
 tics to Realize Gravity.

London, December 15.-The news that the first shots have been fired in vene- zuela has awakened the most apathetic of the critics to the gravity of the sit- uation which Is developing in that coun- try and the demands that the government present the official papers in the matter to parliament are now most insistent ments to the effect that Foreign Secre- tary Lansdowne has failed to display either in the war office or in the foreign office, such conspicuous ability as to in- duce the nation to trust him with a blank cheque" in such a complicated and combustible matter as Venezuela threatens to prove. The Associated Press understands that the papers will be is- sued today or Wednesday at the latest
 Thus far the British public has had to depend entirely upon press dispatches for it's news and the serious complaint is made that the public is obliged and in- debted to American newspapers for the text of the British and German ultima tums to Venezuela The revelation of the terms of the British ultimatum does not enhance the existing appreciation of the British governments management of the affair. One newspaper referring this morning to that clause of the British ultimatum which demands the payment of sum equal to that paid to Germany says such a peculiar claim makes the British note a sort of appendix to the German note and asks ironically ''why did Great Britain not entrust the whole business to Germany? that country would have been more expeditions in the mat ter"

Does Not Simplify 1t.

Italy's entrance upon the scene is not believed to simplify the situation. Spe- cial dispatches from Rome assert that Signor Riva, the Italian minister to Ven ezuela, presented the Italian ultimatum at Caracas on Saturday, The time set for an answer to this ultimatum expired Sunday, and according to the Rome dis patches Signor Riva has already embark ed on the Italian cruiser Givoanne Dau- san. Signor Riva's two daughters had narrow escapes from maltreatment from the populace. This news cannot be con- firmed from other sources. It is said that owing to the fact of the Italian cruiser Carlo Albertrs being ice-bound the cruis- CT Liguria has been ordered to proceed to Venezuela. Italy thus will have four or five warships on the spot to cooperate with the British and German warships. Most of the morning newspapers con sider that the bombardment of the fort

may be one Of thousand other little
mishaps, but no oneis shroud enoughsto
always avoid the Inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an cpl
demic; every body seems to have one at
once. The very air about US is poison to
the head, throat andlungs.
There is no fact Of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family Peruna
always stays. No home can spare Pc
runa after the first trial Of it. A splendid
example of this fact is found in the
beautiful home Of Mrs. Paul Peschel, Of

One Of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later 1t is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is settled fact of
human experience.
Especially is this true during the
stormy and unsettled wca.hc: of c:rly
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet. or cold
draught, or damp clo.Ncs, or may be too

GREAT INDUSTRIAL PLAN

,rhe oroa,aat movement TO promote the interests
of the city that has ever been naugurateo mere Is
that of the Clarksburg Industrial Company. q
prospectus of which is published in this issue OF
the Telegram. The prospectus gives in detail the
object of the movements, the workings OF the COM
nanv and the ends it confdentally expects to at
tain so that we need not reproduce them mere. In IL
is TO be found full information and no one shonld
fail to read the article carefully. 1t is clear ana
concise presentation Of all the vital features OF the
proposed movement
The movement, though somewhat novel, is
,aasable in eyery sense of the word, and will meet
v;th ereat success. The magnitude Of its purpose
can scarcely be comprehended and the greatness
of the results can only be realized when accom-
plished.
Such plan for the clty's development has
l,een sadlv needed here for the past two years.
Sfannfacturers almost without number, have
sought sites and acknowledgements here only to be
turned away. Some have gone elsewhere, aud
Others have done nothing. With a handsome ex-
ception or two advancement here along manu-
featuring lines has been on the stand still and all
on account of the fact that sites were not obtain
able Still another draw back was the lack of
building lots and tenement houses for employees
manufactures would bring The free.site feature
of the Clarksburg Industrial Company's plans
overcomes the first hinderance and the laying of
o. farm into building lots Goes away largely with
the olher fault With ihe plaa in actual execution,
we venture the assertion it will be hardly any
time until seve al good, substantial manufacturing
industries will be under way There will be greater
activity than ever before Business will be greatly
stimuleted and hustling Clarksburg. will take on
more new life. Again, the intention of making it
o company composed Of all who care to become
members and aid the movement is colamendable
and will meet the appreciation of every public
spirited citizen. This feature brings common
interest and adds strength to the purposes of the
company. This feature alone will bring business
and patriotic interests into common stronghold
As never before and will insure better aud grander
results, than. if only a few had joined in the
movement.
All in all, as we see it, the Telegram most
heartily endorses this great pan.to advance the
interests of Clarksburg. and firmly believes it
will bring results, all will feel proud of. 1t is
truly 'Norgauzing of Clarksburg, except it is not
of the corporation Sort but is of the people, and
upon them depends its success.

Mining Industry Never Better

Chief Ane Inspector James w. Paul. in speak
ing of the strides made in coal operations iu this
state says:
"The condition OF the mining industry OF the
state was never better The mines are crowded
with orders and it keeps them ousy filing them
The chief complains they seen to have Is on &C
count of the car shortage The lack OF trausporta-
ton facilities hurting some of the plants which
are thus unable to fill their orders promptly If
this trouble was removed the mines could double
their capacity.
Notwithstanding the car shortage. however
many plants have more business than they Gao
conveniently attend to. In some sections OF the
state the companies unable to get as many men
as they could use. If more miners we're available
they could get great deaf more business aud are
hampered on that account. Hundreds OF good
miners can find employment in West Virginia, at
wages which are Tue highest ever paid, and com
pare favorably with any 10 the country
This condition is largely dus to the co opera
ton of operator and miner, both of which classes
are taking advantage of the grand opportunities
afforded them by sound political principles pro-
mulgated and executed by a political party, whose
integrity honesty of purpose and successful opera
ton have the fullest confidence of the people OF
all world powers
The Clarksburg Development Company has
letter of inquiry from New York capitalists, who
want to locate large silk mills here, which will
give employment to 1000 men the year round at
pay roll of $50 900 week. Mannfacl ers Of
glass have been here this week from PittsL tg and
Ohio One wants to build self.sealing fruit jar
factory. They all want sites and some ..-duce-
ments. Others may come any day. II is. there
fore, time for US to be up aud doing. The
Clarksburg Industrial Company is opportune ard
can not be put into operation too quickly. Get TO
work gentlemen, and secure some of these good
things and all if you can, while they are passing
our way.
Hon. o. S. Mckinney, one of Marion county's
hardest democratic workers IN years past, is re-
ported as speaking tavorably of the prosperous
condition of his county and saying he was too busy
to talk politics. Mr.. Mckinney will likely be
selected to lead the forlorn hope of democracy in
this congressional dstrictnexs fall, and we truly
pity him, when he comes to hunting up his CAM
paign thunder Conditions wilt doubtless be just
as good then or better and he ought to be just as
