WABASH FIGHTING d. so.
And C. & 0. For the Cheat River Route

MoRGANTowN, w. Va, Oct. o.
A member of the law firm of McGraw
& Post, of Grafton, counsel for the
Greenbrier, Monongshelia & Pitts
burg Railroad Company, is here to-
day in consultation with George c.
Sturgiss and other local attorneys
in anticipation of the contest be-
tween that railroad and the Balti-
more & Ohio, over the route survey
ed down Cheat river, to Point
Marion. The Baltimore & Ohio
has recently purchased the Guffey
survey in its effort to block the line
Of the Greenbrier, Monongahela &
Pittsburg. Both the Baltimore &
Ohio and Chesapeak & Ohio Roads
are anxious to acquire this route
through West Virginia to Pittsburg.
The injunction granted by Judge
Golf, at Clarksburg, has checked
the efforts OF the Chesapeake & Ohio
to seize this route at its Pocahontas
terminals, while the fight with the
Baltimore & Ohio here will be to
retain control of this end OF the line
surveyed. 1t is claimed by counsel
for the Greenbrier, Monongahela &
Pittsburg, that the Guffey charter is
long since forfeited and that the
Baltimore & Ohio will have no stand
ing in court to prevent the build
ing Of the new road.
Suits will be Instituted la the
courts Of this and Preston county
which, together with the suit already
entered in the federal court, in
dicates that the Creenbrier, Mon
ongahels & Pittsburg will make a
determined effort TO build its route
through from Durbin, in Pocahontas
county, West Virginia, TO Point
Marion, Pa.

The miners in Pennsylvania are
not striking either for fun or for
meanness, They are striking for
more money, for more breathing
time-for q chance to keep acquaint-
ed with their families. Their de-
mands are entirely reasonable.
The wage-earner is something more
than the tool he uses and the mule
he drives. He knows how to APP
preciste the philosophy of Josh
Billings when he said "A man you
can hire to work on q farm for
nothing and board himself. will just
about earn his wages"

Encouraging reports are also com.
ing from Ohio, where Hon. Tom
Johnson is conducting most unique
campaign. Mr.. Johnson is an ex-
ceptionally clever man and the
changes he is ringing upon Senator
Hanna's slogan, "Stand pat" are
proving most embarrassing to Ohio's
Republican boss. Mr.. Johnson is
making vigorous appeal to the
farmers, basing his argument on the
iniquity Of having railroads, which
pay immense dividends, assessed as
farm property. lie Is not ignoring
national issues, but he is paying a
great deal Of attention to state issues
aud some persons in position to
know say that the returns at the
polls will constitute great surprise
TO the Republicans.

AS will be seen by the news col
umn of the ARGUS, a big fight is
now going on between the B. & o.
railroad and the Wabash for the
right ofway through West Virginia,
and specially Preston county. Hon.
John T. McGraw is leading the
hight for another railroad down
the Cheat Valley from the West
Virginia Central to get into Pitts
burg. and the B. & o. is trying
hard to block them. The Wabash
would be a big thing for this county
il We can get it through.

IrsnrnInnnn Of the Eat.

The cruel practice Of capturing a
number Of bats and crucifying them
on the doors of barns, stables, or even
Of houses, has been somewhat aban-
doned, even in the country. But due
credit is not yet given to the great ser
vices which these ugly creatures rem
der. It can be said that after the
birds, 1t is the most useful aid Of the
agriculturist. 1t makes a war Of ex-
termination on the innumerable in
sects and caterpillars which devastate
the crops. 1t devours dies by millions
and millions. Some figures based on
the authority OF learned naturalists
are remarkable.
For one of his repasts a bat does not
eat less than thirteen caterpillars, and
in twenty-four hours the smallest spec
linen viii easily eat eighty flies or
more.
Besides, this ugly thing is extremely
clean, as much so as the most refined
cat.--Los Angeles Times.

the horns OF dilemma with regard

he must be with regard to pretty much

On field which 1t is desired to get
Into permanent sod we would not
sow oats mt all. AS the result OF OBJ
serv0tlon we are satisfied that it is a
mistake to seed a grain crop with grass
seeds; ana We are satisfied that this
Is especially so in the South where
the object is to get n good stand Of
grass. There may be some excuse
for It when the grass crop is the prime
consideration. Grain seeds shaded by
a grain crop, especially If the crop Is
heavy, are so much shaded and so
weakened in their growth by the
stronger root growth of the grain
crop that at best, they make but n
poor showing when the grain is cut
Off, In the South the harvesting Of
the grain crop is done at a time when
The power Of the sun is greatest, and
the result too often is that the grass,
deprived Of shade and in weak con-
dition, is burnt up. Seeded alone, the
grass seeds make n vigorous growth
from the start, and are Injured to the
power Of the sun, and able to with
stand its scorching rays without suf-
fering. We have seen crop Of grass
so raised that made an excellent crop
Of hay the first year, and went into
the winter able to Withstand the frost
without damage.-The Eptomist.

Save Your own sesdn.

Why not save your seeds? 1t is
wiser, better, cheaper, and adds ma
terially to the pleasure Of gardening.
You desire the best. To secure that.
select the best of that which suits you
the best. There is n great diversity.
Of taste; some prefer one form or
color, another quite, a different one.
This is an individual matter, and in
no way affects the principle. We all
have our preferences as to species.
We all want the best defined Of u
given type. To secure this result, Sc
lection is necessary and selection
means choice. 1t means the most Wig
orous plant that produces the flower
or vegetable best suited to your taste.
Save the seeds from such for future
use. Great care is required to make
the selection valuable. After q choice
Of plants is made, the first flowers
should not be allowed TO seed, as they
are never so perfect as those that
come later. If the second flowers are
all that can be desired, IL they are Inn

years, carefully remove all the UNI
developed buds ON the plant, so as to
give the blooms the full strength OF
the plant for the ripening Of their
seed. This is the way all new varie-
ties are produced, and the way that
others may be. II flower shows the
slightest change of color or marking,
II Is a sure indication Of a new variety.
From this plant save the most marked.
even, though the flowers in other re-
spects may not be desirable. Save
the flower for seed that shows the
greatest change, and do not trust ap-
other to bloom until that seed Is rip
ened. Follow this up for few years
and a variety may be produced Of
more money value than the cost o. tho
whole garden during those yeara,

pocket compasses,' said a dealer in
such things, "cost from twenty-five
cents to $40 each, and they are made
in various sizes, from tiny compasses
half an inch or less IN diameter up to
those Of about the size of a hunting
case watch.
MANY compasses are carried in
uckeled hunting cases. Some Of the
tiny open compasses are carried for
charm on watch guards.
"In the cheaper pocket compasses
the needle turns on brass bearing;
in the costlier compasses on n bearing
Of agate. In either, of course, the
needle will point north, but the COM
pass with the agate bearing will wear
much longer
"A good pocket compass will last
lifetime. A considerable part Of the
cost Of the more expensive pocket
compasses may be due to the material
used in them and to elaborateness of
finish.
"A SO compass, for instance, might
have a pearl face, and so on. But q
good compass, with an agate bearing,
as good a compass, in fact, ms Il man
needs, can be bought for S1.50.
