Last Quarantine Raised Sunday
Strict Attention of Health Board has
Made Quick Work of Cleaning UI
the Disease.
DR.. Warren, the health officer, re.
ports that the last quarantine has
been raised that was established on
account OF smallpox, and that he can
now present a clean bill Of health for
city and county, so far as the health
board has any knowledge. The first
case of the disease was reported TIC
the health officer February %. There
have been 81 cases under guard since
that time. None have proved fatal,
and 1T Is gratifying to know that the
disease has been entirely stamped out
In so short time.
The daughters of Benson Jacobs,
at Little Fails, have recovered, and
the quarantine was raised there last
Friday. No other cases have beef
reported from the county, outside of
West Morgantown, where VIM Mason
had the worst case which developed
here. The Schlobohm family in
North Morgantown was the last to
have the disease in that section. The
guards were all discharged there last
week. and The premises cleaned up on
Saturday. All the cases have reeov-
cred in this family.
The home of Henry Dusenberry was
under guard for ten days on account
of the illness of Mr.. senberry, who
had symptoms OF smallpox, but the
disease did not develop, and the re-
strictions at his home were removed
Sunday. There is now not even a
suspect in the city
Considering the chances for infec-
tion before the serious nature of the
disease was discovered and the furth-
ther fact that so many people doubt
ed its being genuine smallpox, after it
was reported to the Board Of Health,
it is most gratifying to those who
have been combating the disease, to
be able to report a clean bill of health
so soon. With the exercise of proper
care, Morgantewn ought not again
have even such a light outbreak OF
smallpox as the one through which
she has just passed.
People will be more suspicious of
all eruptive diseases after the expert
ence of the past winter, and beside
that, so many persons have been vac
cinated, that not many victims can
be found by the disease who are not
already immune.

GOING AFTER THEM.
kingwood Argus says that the Town
Council didn't act Right by Morgan
town Men Talks Real Sassy.

The Kingwood Council turned
down the application of the Morgan
town Company for franchise for
Water Works here without making
any explanation or giving the com
pany chance to make amendments
in the franchise. In fact the action of
the Council was arbitrary and dis
courteous and gave the impression
that the people of the town did not
want water works. In this the
Council is woefully mistaken and
will find out that their action does
represent our people. The Water
Works franchise has been under
discussion since last November and
il was generally understood that, il
would be amended in several par
ticulars to make it satisfactory, and
the Company expressed willingness
to meet any objections. and make
some amendments in order to make
it reasonable and fair, and yet, the
Council put the matter of all win
ter and delayed matters as long as
possible and when representatives of
the Company, finally came over them
selves to push them into doing some,
thing, they had co siderable trouble
to get meeting at all, and then were
turned down squarely without being
asked for any amendments or changes
in the franchise. If the council think
the people of this town are going to
stand tor that kind of business with
out calling them down they might
as well find out better one time as
another.

many other things must be bought.
The question is, where to get them.

Enlargement of State street Church

On Wednesday evening Rev. DR.. S.
V. Leeeh assembled his church officers
to lay before them plans for the en-
largement and improvement of the
church edifice. A fine pipe organ, hav-
ing eight hundred pipes, is to be built.
The pastor desires the erection OF a
wing to the church, on its eastern
side, from the ground TO the roof o.
the editice. 1t will be twenty-five feet
by twenty, and become in the upper
story part OF the auditorium TO be
used for the new organ, the choir
platform and the pulpit, and will open
into wide altar. The pews will be
turned astward to face this addition
to the auditorium and additional pews
will take the site Of the present pull
pit and altar. The lower story will
contain in addition to a ''Ladies'
kitchen" large parlor that can also
be used for a sunday school primary
apartment 1t is estimated that the
organ and addition TO the church will
cost thirty-eight hundred dollars On
Wednesday night two of the trustees

towards the enterprise. The Ladies'
AID society has unanimously suhscrib-
one Thousand dollars. DR. Leeeh
seems certain that the remaining
eighteen hundred dollars will be con-
tributed by the membership and
friends of the church. With this i'm
provement, and the great organ, the
church will need little repair tor years
to come. The success of the plans
seems assured. AT present there Is
not dollar OF Indebtedness resting on
any of the church property.-Charles-

Some Heavy Sales of Milling Wheat
"To Arrive" Over $4,000
Bushels in All.
Receipts Show Up Better and Some
Selling Results After the
Opening.
The Bulls Confident of Continued
Strength-Argentine Is
Watched.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce,
Nov. 19.-The bull spirit was gone out of
wheat this morning when the market
opened and the best the bulls could do
was to start May at soc and December
at S0ssc after which May dropped to 1870
and December to 1880. This show of
weakness made some OF the pit traders
confident of decline, and not few sold
short on the view that May. having re-
Gently sold down around 78c and being
now up around soc, it was time to go
short for a slide back again. The bulls,
however, were not one whit less confident,
and watched the market sag with COM
placency, seeing in 1t only that healthy
reaction bound to come in bull market
and Of benefit as afording better basis
for new advance. The bears took their
selling cue in good part from the receipts
here, which were SOS against $50. Du-
luth had 1854 against $40, and Chicago
10s against SO, In all 1909 cars against
1,0O1 or IS cars more than last year. An
increase Of $50, 900 bushels in Minneap-
oils elevator stocks so far this week was
smother bear argument but this was lost
upon the bulls. Kansas City had 100000
bushels against 90, 900, and st. Louis "a, 600
against 121 900. In all there was show
ing such as might have induced general
bearishness on a dull inactive market.
But the feeling was mixed this morning,
and while the trade was very light, one
could see that there was an active In
terest and that all that was needed to
put the pit into an uproar was for some
thing fairly bullish to come along. With
out doubt wheat would be several cents
higher in American markets were 1t not
for the splendid outlook in Argentine
Anything less favorable from that coun-
try would mean r. scramble for wheat
everywhere, and any serious bad turn
would mean a wild time. There 1s no
reason to look for anything like this, but
the possibility that the best having been
heard from Argentine, something less en-
couraging Is more likely to come from
now on. and the certainty that turn for
the bad would mean great rise encour-
ages many specula tors to take the bull
side as affording the greater opportunity
for profit, according to the laws Of chance.
Liverpool was ss@Ssd higher at the
opening and A0hd UP at the close.
Primary receipts were 1,333,0O bushels
against 1888, 900. and shipments were $751;
