A FATAL MISTAKE

People.

It's fatal mistake to neglect
backache.
Backache is the first symptom of
kidney Ills.
Serious complications follow.

promptly.
Don't delay until too late.
Until it becomes diabetes-Bright's

Capt. d. W. Welsh, keeper of the

West Virginia Natural Gas in Ohio

The citizens OF Cleveland are rejoic-
ing in the fact that they are soon to
receive heat and light from that most
volatile of fluids, called natural gas
fields of West Virginia. We congrat-
ulate our Ohio neighbor in the enjoy
ment Of this convenient method of
heating and Lighting their homes, but
the Inteligencer would suggest that
it is done at the expense OF the re-
sources Of our state, and will assist In
depicting our vast store house of nat
ural gas very rapidly, and when done,
nothing is left TO tell the story but
the "hole In the ground" 1t is now
up to the Lawmakers at Charleston to
take cognizance of this fact and add
to the state treasury through licence
tax on natural gas, or at least on that
portion of it that is piped out of the
state. A license tax on gas and Oil
is one Of the many valuable sugges-
tions of the state tax commission.
The same line that supplies Cleveland
with gas also supplies Akron, Canton
and many smaller cities. II the great
state of Ohio, with its vast coal beds
aud gas fields, is TO depend on West
Virginia for its warmth and light, we
certainly should exact something in
the way of tribute. Put on his tax,
gentlemen of the legislature, before
tits too late. Wheeling Intelligencer.

DISSATISFACTION
Over Results of Election of foot
Ball Captain.
Fraternity Matters are said to have
had their Influence Many Members
of team not Hopeful Over Prospects
For next Year--SeamOn Popular
But said to be not up on the game.

a good deal OF dissatisfaction is be-
ing quietly expressed over the result
OF the recent Athletic Association
election for captain of next years
foot ball team.
The election was held by ballot.
The first election held. in December
resulted 10 tie vote, and the presl-
dent Of the Association Mr.. e. L..
Cole not desiring to cast the deciding
vote, another election was held, and
she ballots were counted at a meeting
OF the Board OF Directors January
9th.
At the first election there were
seven ballots cast for Harry Seamon
OF Moundsyille and six for NJ.
Wood Peck of PhIlippi. At last
Friday evenings meeting seven are
reported for Seamon and six for Peck,
making only 3 votes. 1t is reported
that all the members OF the board of
directors say they sent in ballots.
There are Id mem ers not includ-
ing the candidates for election.
While Seamon is good player and
popular fellow, il is claimed by
some that be is not up on the great
American game, as Captain Of the
team should be. IL is charged by
some that the fraternity controlled
the election, and that the votes were
cast more 10 the interest of frater-
nifty brothers than 10 the interest of
the school and Athletic Association.
Certain it is that the fraternities
are expected tn favor their own men,
bers for all positions of honor and
trust, other things being equal. But
fraternity spirit should not be carried
to the extent Of assuming grea ter i'm
portapce than the Athletic Asso ,ia-
tion, or Of the Tn Jersity. Whatever
may be the merits or dement's Of the
present case it is charged that money in
fluence which would have been thrown
into the association, to train winning
team next year, will be with held, be-
cause those who would have helped
the team, have lost confidence in it.
The result OF the election, they say
has discouraged them. They do not
want to join contest to advance the
interests of any fraternity, under color
of advancing the interests of the
University.
1t is unfortunate that dissatisfac-
tion among the friends OF Athletics
in the University should have arisen,
as all the Influence is needed it is pos
sible to secure.

THE GIRL MEN LIKE.
No Man Influenced for Good by the
DOgmatic Self Assertive woman.

The girl who is acceptable with
men is generally free from self. con.
seriousness, and she talks to them
much in the same way as she would
to girl friend. She is not perpetu-
ally thinking of what sort OF impress
sion she Is making on him, but she
is kind and friendly, is interested in
him and his affairs, and lets him see
it, but her interest is kept well with
in bounds and she is neither inqLis
tive nor forward. When discussing
anything with him she expresses heI
opinion freely, but also listens to his
sympatheticaly, or II she cannot dc
that she at any rate gives him cour-
teous hearing and avoids anything
like talking him down.
No man was ever yet Influenced fol
good by the self-assertive, dogmatic
woman, and the girl who wishes TO
have girl friends must remem Der
that the secret both of her power and
her popularity lies In her gentleness,
sweetness and good temper. She
must be bright and CHEEKY TOO, and
ready with her smiles: but that Is
quite another thing, be it remem Der.
ed, from the senseless, ill-bred gig
Cling that some girls seem to fancy is
particularly fascinating to the oppo-
site sex.

ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Is a Woman's Dormitory at the Uni
yersity, says the Parker sburg News.

Earkef6Durg news.
Our legislators In making appropri-
ations this winter must not overlook
the fact that a woman's dormitory
must be provided for the West VIr-
ginia University at Morgantown. The
new industrial conditions make this
imperative, as at present young wom-
en- can hardly secure accommodations
at private homes during school term.
The lack OF suitable accommodation
is keeping many Young ladies from
attending the University. This
should not be. The great State Of
West Virginia should provide her
University with p-to-date quarters
for the girls, so that the father and
mother who desire their daughter to
receive her education on West Vir-
GINA soil would feel that In sending
her to the University she would be
properly taken care of under the eye
of the goodly matron who would pre-
side over the dormitory.

Many Converts at M. E. Church
Meetings.

DR.. ID. b. Purinton Preached Last
Night-Large Audience Each Even
ing-forty People have Been at the
Altar or Asked For Prayers-Dr.
Compton breaches Tonight.
The series of revival meetings be-

church on Peasants street is grow

forty persons have been at the altar,
or asked the prayers of the congre.
cation to enable them to lead a bet

night, most practical and impress
sive sermon. The Sunday School
room was filled with eager hearers,
not a vacant chair being lett, and
both aisles filed TO the rear.
Dr. Purinton's theme was sur
render to God. He said that every
successful person surrenders to some
master. The money maker sur
renders to mammon of sacrifices
that he may become rich.
The business man surrenders to
the detail work of carrying his par
ticular undertaking to successful
result. He rises early in the morn
ing, and works till late at night
that he be successful. He surrenders
to his business.
The professional man makes all
sorts of sacrifices to attain know
ledge and eminence in his profess
sion. The surrendered life is the
happy and free life. DR. Purinton's
thoughtful talk was heard with pro
found attention by the large au-
dience. DIR. Compton followed him
with some additional evidence to
prove that the happiest lives are
those which are surrendered to God.
Before the close of the song and
prayer service, four persons had
gone to the altar seeking the pray
ers of the church.

Pittsburg of the withdrawal by the
A american Window Glass Co, OF the
5, 900 shares of common stock given
to the Window Glass Workers asso-

the participants were not asked to in
vest any money, the only requirement
being that the workers assist the com
papy In operating its plants to nearly
their capacity.
The workers organization was To
have representation on the board, and
the stock which was turned over to
the association at $50 per share, was
to be paid out of the dividends. The
American Window Glass Co., owns
factories with capacity of LOO

only about 1000 during the past three
years on account Of the inability OF
the workers organization to supply
