HAD HIGHEST SKILL
And Yet This Workman Starved TO
Death,

A pathetic story OF hardship and mis-
fortune was told by NEW DOMINION
representative yesterday. 1t seems a
man not far from this city was exceed
inglv skilful in certain line of work,
but he was unelean in his habits that
his hands were always soiled. When
ever he did fine piece Of work he
would be likely to spoil it by getting it
spotted and greasy So at last No one
would hire him and he grew so poor he
finally died from insufficient nourish-
ment.
.'Now," said Mr.. W. A. Ream, our
we'll known pharmacist, there is a
parallel case to that one in the field of
medicine, 1t is cod liver oil, which con-
tains medicinal and curative properties
to do such splendid work as body
cine, and yet fails because it's greasy,
binders these excellent curatives from
doing their healing work.
Like the workman, old-fashioned
cod liver oil has lot its job, and few
people nowadays have any use for it or
emulsions, since Vinol is rapidly taking
their place. Vinol is delicious and di-
geSteu Win perfect ease, anu dI Tue
same time contains all the genuine me-
dicinal curatives, taken from fresh Gods
livers. Vinol will do more than was
ever claimed for old fashioned cod liver
oil, yet it is entirely free from oil and
agreeable to the weakest stomach. 1t is
guaranteed to give strength to the weak,
vitalize the the aged and cure stubborn
colds and hacking coughs, or money
will be paid back. wv. A. Ream, Drug

Better water for waynesburg.

The Waynesburg Times advises the
people Of that town to ''break for
cheat" for water supply which shall
meet all of its future demands. 1t
is said that as soon as the coal in
Greene county is developed the streams
there will all be mineralized and USE
less, and the majority of wells will
have gone dry. Therefore should
the Cheat be tapped good and hard.
The Times is right. But no doubt it
is merely speaking to the wind. No
attention will be given what it says.

ing Franchise.
Referring to the proposed trolley
line extension from Falrchance
through Smithfield to Point Marion.
a Smithfield correspondent says
When approached by officials of a
proposed trolley for the privilege OF
building road into, or through the
borough, the city dads" or at least
a part of them talk Of requiring the
company to pave the streets, pay
damages, give heavy bond to build
ia a limited time So far, however,
no one has suggested that an under
ground or an overhead line would be
required on the municipal thorough
fares. Some say that the statement
that in case franchise is not grant
ed by the Smithfield councils, the
line will be built via Ruble, is
only bluff. The officials OF the
trolley company viii no doubt be
willing to accede to about the same
requirements and restrictions as are
made in other boroughs OF like i'm
portance, and the council should be
Wiling to grant a franchise on these
conditions.

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED
Few Cases OF Scarlet fever Cause
Health Board to Act
Member of Board Of Education Talks
Thinks SucR Action is Uncalled for
Board will meet Tonight to Discuss
The Situation-A Suggestion.

There was sound OF reyelry on the
streets as the clock on the court house
tolled the hour OF ten this morning.
1t was somewhat different from that
following the dismissal OF classes at
the University after the fall OF w. &
j. Ii was what one would expect
when train load of city children in
charge OF the Fresh Air Society was
turned loose ia the woods.
The asound" came from the throats
of about / 100 school children, whom
Superintendent Gallup had informed
few minutes before that they were
liberated from school tasks until Mon
day. The cause OF this did not worry
the school children little bit They
only cared that there was 40 school
for five long DAYS.
A meeting OF the County Board OF
Health was held last night, and this
morning, the Board Of Education, re-
ceived an order to close the schools Of
the city until Monday. The action
OF the Health Board was due to the
existence OF Ave or six cases of scarlet
fever In the city. The fact has been
known for week or two, but very
little has been said about it, few
cases In city of II, 600 causing nc
special alarm. A member OF the
Board OF Education said this morning:
II understand that week or TWO ago,
scarlet fever appeared in the Hiteshew
family, on the Avenue. DR.. Taught,
the county health officer, kept the
children out Of school for week OIL
more. Then they came back with
written permits from Dr. Taught.
A few days later, little girl, whC
sat behind one Of the Hiteshew chill
dren, became i'll of the same disease.
These facts were brought before the
Board OF Health, with the above re-
suit
There is considerable difference Of
opinion ia regard to the necessity Of
closing the school. A meeting OF the
Board of Health, Board OF Education
and many substantial citizens viii
be held at the High schoo
building this evening at seven O'Clock
10 discuss the practice Of closing thu
schools 50 frequently on account o.
sickness. Any one interested is III
vited to participate.
A member OF the board Of Eduea
tion said this morning: In my opin
ion, this practice of closing the schools
everytime there is little sickness il
the city should be stopped Las
year, the Board paid out$l 900 or NOR
TO teachers, from which they received
no return whatever. They were idle
because Of the orders OF the Health
Board
"The appearance OF few cases o.
small pox was enough TO close thu
schools. Later, when there were 81
or more cases, the>schools went Oh
and SO far as | can Judge, the disease
was not spread thereby.
sit is my suggestion, that the con
troll Of the city be taken out OF tn
hands OF County Health Board. Th,
city council should create 2 city boarC
OF health. In my opinion, this boar(
should he the County Medical Society
1t would be cheaper to pay them 800
year than TO go on this way"

Five Years for Murder.

James F. MeLemore, of Little Rock, charged with the murder Of Miss Florence Shilleutt, was eon- victed of murder in the second de- gree in the Pulaski county court and sentenced to five years in the penltentiary. MeLemore was un- der indictment for murder in the first degree. Tbe murder for which AleLemore was convicted was com mitted October 29, 1903. The first news of the crime was received from McLemare and a man named Will liam Sullivan, who reported that they had found the body of Miss Shilleutt in a field short distance north of Little Rock. Later the two men were arrested and indict- ments charging them with the mur- der were returned by the grand jury The case against Sullivan, who was charged with being an ac- eessory to the crime, has never been tried
