A Reliable Daily Paper.

The Pittsburg Times is the only
daily newspaper in that city which
does not have a Sunday edition. The
Times puts all its energies and money
into publishing the best newspaper
there six days out Of the week. Its
people believe in the Biblical and hui
name idea that men and newspapers
should have one days rest in seven.
The Times shows the results of this
in sending out vigorous paper. Ac-
curacy and brevity are its watehwOrds
Its editorial page is the work OF sever
al specialists and is one that com
mends itself in its discussion of cur
rent topics to the children of the
public schools, as we'll as their faith
ers, mothers, teachers and all who
read and think. In politics its poIicy
is Republican, giving all the news Of
all parties as we'll. Its theatrical
review is a critical review. The box
office has no influence over it People
have become accustomed To read
what the Times says of plays more
than the same Departmental all other
Pittsburg papers combined. The
Times criticises when the criticism,
is of benefit to its readers, whether it
happens to benefit the theatrical man
ager or not. The sporting page is in
charge of an expert, and cream, not
blue milk, is served in its columns.
The Times also pays particular atten-
tiop to church matters, and Its
church news is at once reliable and
general Its special correspondents
everywhere keep its pages day by day
perfect mirror of he world. The
woman's page is a carefully edited one
and every woman who knows The
Times is devoted to this page. The

TWO CENTS
FOR BETTER SCHEDULE.
Wheeling Merchants Urged to
Kick for it.

Better Train Service into Morgantown
World Mean More trade with Wheel
ing-Suggested Change that would
Help all misunderstanding May
Come of 1t.
The following has been sent to his
paper by Capt. Kyle OF Fairmont.
The rotten schedule under which wa
labor is too we'll appreciated to need
any further comment than what he
give II. Any chance TO change IL Is
grasped eagerly down here and Wheel
Ing can get help to change 1t by cali
ing on US at any time. The article
which seeks To draw Wheeling into
closer touch with the rest OF the state
is as follows;
If the Wheeling board OF trade
wants To exert It's influence In dlree-
tion that will bring results TO the
business houses of the Nail City, they
will heed the requests made by the
business people of this section and
secure a better railroad schedule Ia
the spring. As the trains run TOW,
residents Of Morgantown can not 90
TO Wheeling and return the same day.
In fact they only have a two hours
stay Ia Farmont, and this Is contin-
gent To the prompt arrival OF the tram
on the Pittshnrg branch of the Balti-
more & Ohio road
A recent talk with the business
men OF Morgantown disclosed the fact
TO the 1ntelligencer correspondent
that the people OF that town are anx-
ious TO have their business relat lns
with Wheeling but the train schedule
is so arranged that PIttsburg basi-
ness firms get the benefit of all the
business from that section. La fact
representatives of Wheeling houses
have, TO a certain extent, dropped out
OF that territory and have given 1t
over Co Pittsburg wholesale men.
Il trip, as taken by the Cleveland
merchants recently, through this sec
tion, by the Wheeling board OF trade
and business men, would win back TO
them mneh Of the trade that now
goes TO Pittsbnfg and other cities In
Pennsylvania and the eastern cities.
SO inattentiee have Wheeling business
men been To this section that the
merchants In central West Virginia are
practically unacquainted with them,
and, In a way, they look on Wheeling
as an ''out.of the way city.
Now is the time TO start the ball
rolling, for the next change Ia sched-
ules will be ia the early spring and TO
accomplish these ends, they must ex-
ercise their powers and do 1t early.
AS one merchant at MorgantoWn
tersely put it, and said: s'lf Wheeling
business men woald devote the time
they spend in discussing the refund
ing question, To getting our business
going that way, they would soon have
money sufficient to pay high rate OF
tax and pay off their old debts.
The Morgantown schedule can easi-
ly be adjusted bp having the accom-
modatl1n that leaves here at 7:l0 a.
IN fcs Clarksburg aad Weston, start
from M0rgantown and connect with
the morning west bound accommoda-
tion and run back TO Morgantown Ut
night after the arrival OF the evening
accommodation from Wheeling The
arrangement of suitable trains from
this section means thousands OF dol
lars TO Wheeling and further delay
in this matter should not be per-
mitted.
