fort was burglarized Tuesday night.
The hour the burglary was committed
isnot definitely known but is supposed
to have been at midnight AT that
hour Charles shinn in passing saw
three suspicious looking men standing
in front of the store. When they saw
young shinn approaching, they went
up the street, but after he had gone
down the alley he looked back and
saw them returning toward the store.
Next morning it was discovered that
the store had been burelarIzed. The
burglars broke out the windows in the
front doors and entered that way.
They broke open the cash register and
took three dollars in five and one cent
pieces from it. So far nothing else of
value has been missed.
There is no clue as to the identityof
the burglars.

MCKINNEY ID; |! E

About The Proposed New County
of Augusta.
Says He Is Neither For Nor Against
the Bill.
owen S. Mckinney, late Democratic

Owen S. Mckinney. late Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district,
was here this morning from Fairmont,
enroute to Charleston to look after
some matters in the legislature. He
expressed himself as taking no special
interest in the Augusta county fight,
being neither for nor against the bill.
He says there is very bitter feeling
in Marion county over the matter and
that many Fairmonters have decided
to let them have the new county, if
they want it. He said his indiffer-
ence in the matter was because the
party in power was responsible and
not himself.

Many More Were Injured. Town
Hall and Churches Used as
Morgue for the Dead.
On the Jersey Central. Many We're Burned I
to Death. Before Relief Came.

Jersey City, n. j., Jan. 2s.-Tte
Royal Blue Limited, on the Baltimore
s. Ohio Railroad, was wrecked in col
lision with local passenger train OF
the Jersey Central Railroad at West
field, thirteen miles west of Elizabeth
at $50 o'clock last night, and reports.
received here by officials of the road
are to uhe effect that more than TWEEN
ty people are dead and about the same
number are more or less badly hurt.
The Royal Blue left the depot here
for Philadelphia on schedule time and
was crowded. The local Jersey City
train was stalled in the Westfeld sta
tion and word was sent back by wire
to stop the express, which was run
ming ten minutes behind the local. a
6agman was also sent back some dis
tance to stop the express. For some
unknown reason all signals to the en-
grneer of the Royal Blue failed, and
the train came along at the rate of
over fifty miles an hour. The Royal
Blue crashed into the local head on
and telescoped three rear coaches of
the Jersey Central.
The crowd in the car of the local
were almost all killed instantly. Fol-
owing the wre,k the debris caught
ire before the bodies of the dead and
injured could be gotten out.
Many of those not SO badly hurt in
the collision were thus badly burned,
some fatally.
Practically the Who'll, town of West
field turned out to offer such help as
itcouid. Every physician in the town
was engaged and the local hospital
brought into requisition.
The town hall and churches are be-
ing used as morgues. Tho dead are
being carried there. The scene of the
wreck is indescribable.
There have been fifteen dead bodies
taken from the wreck so far and TWEEN
ty-seyen seriously injured. The work
ofremoying the dead and injured is
still going on.

One of the big problems that con
fronts the local Young Mems, Chris
tian Association, in preparing for the

been appointed to come from such
places as Wheeling. Morgantown,
Parkersburg, Charleston, and in fact,

of the state. There will be delega-
tions from Washington, d. O., and
Baltimore, Md, as well as from other

aud that is for the residents of the
city to show their true hospitality and
send word to the Association to the
effect that they will entertain one,
two, or three delegates, or as many as
is convenient, duriug the short time
the convention will be held here.

CURE FOR BALKINESS.
II Consists of n Little Trick Based
Upon the Scientific Theory OF
Brain Diversion.

For the benefit of those who have
been caused a great deal of anxiety
by balky horse, lost trains as well
as tempers, and even sometimes
ruined the horse, the next time they
have the experience to run across n
balky horse, no matter how bad he
is, let me tell you how to start him
80 times out of 100. OF course, it
may fail one time in hundred.
When a horse balks, no matter how
badly he sulks or how ugly he is,
do not beat him; don't throw sand
in his ears; don't use n rope on his
forelegs, or even burn straw under
him. Quietly go and pat him on the
head moment; take hammer or
even pick up a stone in the street;
tell the driver to sit still, take his
lines, hold them quietly, while you
lift up either front foot; give each
nail light tap and good smart
tap on the frog; drop the foot quick
~, and then chirp to him to go. In
90 cases out of 100 the horse will go
right on about his business, but the
driver must keep his lines taut and
not pull or jerk him back. If have
tried this once / have tried it 500
times, and every time l have sug-
gested it people have laughed and
even bet five dollars that l could not
do it. So far have won every bet.
This may make you smile. but a
horse has more common sense than
most people are willing to give him
credit for. The secret of this little
trick is simply diversion. l am n
firm believer that with kindness and
proper treatment horse can be
driven with a string.-Horseshoers'

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

DR.. Flick i'm a lecture on tuberculosis
warned especially against moving into
houses previously occupied by con
sumptives which had not been disin
fected, and also against the employ
ment of consumptive servants, and EN-
phasized the efficacy of cleanliness as
a preventive measure.
The royal commission which has
been investigating tuberculosis rec
ommends rigid laws. Some of the
points proposed are: Reporting OF
cases, compulsory confinement of re.
calcitrant patients in special institu
tions, prohibition of infected persons
from acting as nurses, teachers ply.
sicians, erection of municipal phthisis
hospitals, the state bearing half the
cost and the extremely poor being
treated free of charge.
In his warfare against consumption
Health Commissioner Lederle, of New
York, is having thousands of Leaflets
on the subject printed in every Ian
guage spoken in that city, including
Chinese. These leaflets. which will be
distributed among the poor in every
tenement district, contain simple in
structions by the observance of which
the danger of infection may, to great
extent, be avoided. DR.. Lederle will also
send trained nurses among the tene-
ment-house consumptives to care for
and instruct the afflicted and their as
sociates.
