wrist is the most serious as the bones
were shattered.
The hospital authorities believe the
wrist can be saved and that amputation
will not be necessary, but he will not
likely ever have free use of it aagin.
The injuries of the face and ear are
not serious.
II is remarkable that his head was
not blown off and he may count himself
lucky in escaping so easily.

CITIZENS
CONVENTION
CONFUSION
PEOPLES PARTY MEN WANTED TO
BE ENDORSED AND OTHER FEL-
LOWS BUCKED HARD.
Result Was "Nothin' DOing."-Auother
Will Be Held Tonight by middle
of-the-Road" Fellows

The meeting at Adamston last night
to nominate Citizens ticket for the
approaching municipal election ended in
confusion and all but riot.
Those who were assembled did not
seem to know what the object of the
meeting was and some one jumped up
and announced that it was to affect
the Peoples ticket, but that was bomb
thrown in the camp that the other fel.
lows would not stand for and after all
sorts of harangues, denmications, IT,
radcs and attacks, the meeting broke
up in confusion.
But the fight did not end there, as
there is 10 be another convention tonight
in the school house for the purpose of
nominating "middle-of. .the-road" ticket
Just where this ticket is to run is not
known, possibly in the middle of the
pike or some new avenue they propose
to establish on the ridge that separates
the town from the country round.
1t is amusing to see into what throes
they have worked ...emselves, but the
opportunity to vote for a municipal tick.
ct is the first they have had and they
all propose to have a hand in affairs out
there, even if they have to make spec,
tacle out of themselves, But the public
eye is pleased to behold them taking
such an interest in a matter that affects
them all.

NO CONVENTION;
JUST CONFUSION

1t is disgust 10 a town to under
take TO have a convention that cannot
act intcligcntly. \ few people must
think that the majority Of the citizens
Of Adamston would not know the differ.
encc between convention called to nomi-
nate a ticket for municipal officers and
one to endorse ticket fixed up last
Monday night. The chairman voted with
the convention Monday night What
would he do if elected recorder?
Those same fellows on Wednesday
night showed complete ignorance in even
undertaking to hold 4 little caucus. One
nominee for councilman publicly said
that they were going to control the con.
vention for their ticket, and he did not
want it called labor ticket They all
exhibit great political inability. The Ia,
Dor ticket weakened itself Wednesday
night. Just let it go--it will kill the
ticket. WHISPERS.

"DIDN'T SAY IT."
SAYS SWISHER.
Denies Snyder's Statement That He
Pledged Himself to Schmulbach.-
Was Quoted Right by Wheel

Charles Swisher, the hustling Marion
county politician, came in Sunday after
noon and remained here on business till
noon yesterday, says the NIorgantown
Post, when he returned to Fairmont.
When seen by Post reporter he was
smoking fragrant cigar and chatting
with little group Of friends at the B. &

Al. Jansen, whose friends and cred
itor or two yesterday reported him miss
ing, somewhat. surprised them by ap-
pearing on the street today. He ar
rived home last night from an extcn.
aive tour, having been gone ever since
Monday week ago,
Mr.. Jansen says during that time he
visited Uniontown, Pa., Pittsburg and
Chicago, and returned by way Of Pitts
burg. The object Of his visit was to
find place to locate and 90 into busi-
ness. He does not think it strange that
his friends should manifest some unpasi.
ness over his protracted absence, on ae-
count Of the fact that, when he went
away he told some of them that he did
not konw where he was going, and lie
says he did not either, but that is vas
his intention to hunt place and locate.
He was somewhat surprised and clra.
grinncd that those to whom he owes
small Indebtedness should propose that
he had left for the purpose Of dcfrauding
them or to shun those debts owing TO
the fact that he has always managed
some way to meet his Obligations. He
says he owes some money here al the
time, but only i small amount, and
that he will manage some way 10 pay it.
Mr., Janscnt states, when interviewed
as to what he Ind to say about the state,
ment that he was believed to have left
the city for good, that the circumstances
were misunderstood, even as to the young
girl referred. She is his wife's cousin,
and left the city after he did He states
that he did not know of her absence un.
til friends Informed him upon his return,
He is Of the opinion that she has gone
to her people in Pennsylvania, although
he is frank to say that he does not know
where she is His associations with her
was that of relative. So far as he
knows she may be in Pittsburg hos
pital, but he has no knowledge of her
being sick.
Mr.. Jansen will stay here several days,
with the intention OF ssraightcning up
his busincs, affairs, and then he will 90
elsewhere to locate, il he can find a place
be likes better than Clarksburg.
The belief that he had left the city
for good was most unfortunate, but can
do Mr.. Jansen no harm, since he has re-
turned and the matter has been cleared
up.

FRENCH WOMAN IN TROUBLE.
Her Artificial Nose a Source of Much
Annoyance.

Her Artificial Nose Source Of Much
Annoyance.
A Paris washerwoman living in the
Rue Riquet finds herself in a strange
predicament. Two years ago ,she
had quarrel with her husband, who
struck her on the nose with such
violence as to break 1t. The woman
went to the hospital, and after some
months of treatment came out with
new nose.
Since then peace has reigned in the
household, but the other morning she
discovered to her CONSERVATION that
growth of hair was developing on
the new organ. 1t grew thicker day
by day, and caused great amusement
to the neighbors.
In her distress she went to the local
commissary of police and stated that
she wished to get divorce from her
husband, whose brutality was the
original cause of the ridicule to which
she was exposed. She also told him
that to make the new nose portion
of a human scalp had been used,
which sufficiently accounts for the
growth of hair. The commissary could
only refer the woman to the courts.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE DARK.
German Professor Says Light Is Not
Needed for Making Pictures.

The light Is not needed for the
printing of photographs is discov-
cry which has been made by Dr. Will
helm Oswald, professor of chemistry in
the University of Leipsic. He produces
the required changes in the sensitized
paper by the use of silver on mega
tives treated with solution of per-
oxide of hydrogen. The presence of
silver causes the elements of the solu.
ton to react against each other. In
a very short time in those places
where there is silver in the negative
the solution will disappear; in the
other spots remain. This invisible pic
ture is then transferred to gelatine
paper and finally developed by iron
sulphate in solution. Gallo acid is
then applied and the result Is a genu-
inc ink picture. DR.. Oswald declares
that in this method the sensitized
paper will keep indefinitely and the
silver can be used over any number of
times. He says the process is far
cheaper and quicker than any now in
use, besides requiring no light. By it
any design or drawing can be quickly
copied,
