BALTIMORE d OHIO RAILROAD
and the
WORLDS FAIR.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will issue an elaborate Worlds Fair
Folder on the first of the year, giving
full information, with illustrations,
OF the great Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position at ST. Louis. Ticket offices
on the entire system will be furnished
with all details concerning the route
to St. Louis, together with the ad-
vance information concerning hotels
and boarding houses.
The Baltimore and Ohio is the ORR
ginal line from the east to st. Louis.
Early in 1927 the founders wished to
connect Baltimore and the seaboard,
by the most direct line westward,
with St. Louis on the Mississippi
From Baltimore to Cum berland the
line followed the old national pike;
then direct line was built to Par
kersburg on the Ohio River; other
companies built lines from Parkers-
burg direct to st. Louis, and all of
these lines have merged into the Bal
timore and Ohio System, which forms
the most direct route between the
East and West.
Solid vestibule trains run daily from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburg and Columbus
to Cincinnati and st. Louis.

1t is nearing the blessed holiday
season of the year when it is meet
and proper that we should think of
those who deserve our consideration
and send to them in remembrance a
gilt that will warm the cookies of
the h art. Most people recognize
this and are glad to comply with the
dictates Of the heart IN this regard
In strange contrast with the actions
of most people is that OF the great
United States Steel Corporation,
known all over the earth as the steel
trust Last year about this time
they gave to their workmen Christ
mas present by allowing them to
buy preferred stok in their corpor-
alton at S29 which today Is selling
at 521 thus losing for their men over
thirty dollars share on what they
bought. AT this Christmas they
have reduced the wages of all their
men, about 10000 about twenty
percent, thereby taking out of their
pockets about Sl2,000,000 and just
at this time when the cost of living
is thirty per cent higher than at any
time for years >uch is the CHRIS
tian feeling of this gigantic monop-
oily. When will the people elect
democratic administration and Con
gress that will swat this giant?
They may expect these things until
they do.

OLD xoseseALiA PREACHER
pies in lowa-interesting Incidents in
Career of Rev. J.. W. Snedgrass.

Rev. Joha Wesley Snodgrass. na-
tive Of MonongalIa county, and form
eriy pastor of the Morgantown circuit
OF the Methodist Episcopal church,
died at Boone, Iowa, on the afternoon
of Saturday, December II, 1903, aged
92 years. A few OF the Older people Of
the county will remember him. An
Iowa paper, sent to the NEW DoMTN-
ION by Walter Kern,, gives an inter
esting account of his life and death.
Following are few extracts from the
sketch:
ssRev. Snodgr5ss was born 10 Mon
ongalia county ". Va. Aug Is, 1911
and converted March %, 1923. Rev.
Shadrack Cheney, pastor of the Mur
gantown circuit received him ioto the
church.
He was married by Rev. VIM. Nor
gan to Margaret Dudley in 1884 His
wife was sister of Rev. J. NJ. Dudley.
He was granted license TO preach in
1884, and his first charge was in Ran
dolph county. He went to Iowa in
1863

the Kanawha circuit be received on

five cents meant quarterage. At a
camp meeting of this circuit, the Sab
bath collection amounted to 50. A
gentleman, not member OF the
church, borrowed dollar Of the

1t is significant fact that while
Governor White was out in the State
preaching tax reform and declaring
that the railroads were not paying
taxes enough, the Boards of Public
Works, of which he is chairman and
which assesses the railroads, was
reducing their valuation, IN some
placessat least. The assessment as
returned by Secretary Dawson, OF
the railroad property for this county
and which was prorated among the
districts, by the County Court, at
it's special session, last Friday, re-
veals the fact that the board has
reduced the assessed valuation of
the Romney Railroad Branch for
this ear over $4,000. 1t is fact,
familiar to our readers, that while
Atkinson was governor, the same
property was reduced over 100000.
What we would like some one to
figure out for us, is at that rate how
many more Republican Board of
Public Works will it be necessary
to elect, in this State, until this
property is entirely exonerated from
the payment of any tax whatever

POSTAL RUMORS REVIVED.
New Telegraph Company May
yet Enter Morgantown.
Representative Here Again - Every
announcement Offered VIII Invade
Central Part of State-Morgantown
will be Reached From UniOnt0wn.

A year or more ago, the people of
Morgantown were jubilant over the
prospect OF having the lines of the
Postal Telegraph Company reach
Morgantown. Representatives OF the
company were here at that time in
conference With some Of the leading
capitalists and business men Of the
city. The new company was offered
every inducement, and the extension
OF the lines from Uniontown was
looked upon as certainty OF the near
future.
For various reasons, nothing was
done at the time, and the Postal
Company's proposition was almost
forgotten. Within the past week, the
scheme has been revived. The Postal
has had representatives here looking
over the ground again, and again every
possible encouragement has been Of
ferred. The new line, II 1t comes at
all will come as an extension from
Uniontown.
So far the Western Union lines In
the middle portion Of West Virginia
have had no serious opposition, but 1T
begins to look as If the fight would be
carried all over the state. The West
ern Union was the only company In
Wheeling for long time, and it was
only recently that the Postal made in
roads and is now in position to offer
serious opposition to the Western
Union company. 1t has been rdmor-
ed that the Postal would string their
lines out over the entire middle por-
tion of this state for some time to
come, but nothing came of it. Now
1t is almost certainty that the wires
OF the new company will soon radiate
from Wheeling to Fairmont, Clarks-
burg, Morgantown and other places in
which now only the Western Union is
located. II this proves soltwill cause
serious war between the rival COM
panies although there are no indica-
tions of battle in rates.
In this connection, the Wheeling
Telegraph says:
"The new line will enter the State
by the way of Uniontown, Pa, reach
ing Morgantown, FairmoDt, Clarks.
bnrg, Parkersburg, ETC., etc. There
is not a dissenting voice among the
population of the part of the state
into which the new lines will bt
strung. 1t will open up competition
AMI might in time lessen the rates
OF sending messages. During the
| the years of it's existence the Posta
| has built up wonderful trade, and
| its success is well merited."

NATIONAL GuAkDSMEN
May Have Fine Trip Next Summer.
An Attraction at 1T. Louis.

The West Virginia National Guard
may have its next encampment at the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis next year.
An unofficial inquiry is being made
to accertain II the men and officers
will be willing TO go without pay, pro-
yiding their expenses are paid, and so
far as the inquiry has progressed favor
able answers have been made.
The trip, If decided upon, by the
adjutant general, will take the place
OF the annual encampment and will
most likely occur in August aud from
three to four weeks will be spent at
st. Louis. The encampment will
most probably be by brigade as has
been customary for the past few years,
and a camp routine similar to the one
in force at Parkersburg last summer
will be followed with the possible
omission OF a daily drill or two.
If the government orders some Of
the regular troops to camp at the fair,
as 1t did at the Chicago exposition, and
II 1t is decided to have the guardsmen
there also, it is probable that part Of
the regular camp routine will Se dis
pensed with aud thatarmy maneuyers,
similar TO the ones held in Kentucky
during the fall, will be ordered.

ARREST OF REV. RUDEsILL
Causes Much Discussion Among Those
Who Frequent Mountain Lake Park.


The news that Rev. L A. Rudesill,
the general manager of the affairs at
Mountain Lake Park, had been ar
rested on charge Of embezzlement
caused quite a stir among the
friends of Mr.. Rudesill
The matter has been thoroughly
discussed since the story was print
ed, and the concensGs of opinion is
that Rev. Rudesill will. when the
time comes, prove himself innocent
of the charge.
1t is claimed that there are a
number of people at the Park who
do not like Rudesill and who have
been waiting for an opportunity to
attack him.
1t is rumored here that there is a
feeling against the manager among
the all-year people of the Park De-
cause he was good about looking
after the property interests of those
who reside there only in the heated
season.
There are also Parkites here who
are not surprised to hear of the ar
rest for they claim the affairs of the
association nave been careles sly con
Quoted. One goes so far as to say
that a general investigation and re
organization is to be made and that
some sensational developments may
result.

Halloween Franks Not Forgotten BY
FairmOnt Man.

Although Halloween has gone
and been forgotten by nearly every
body in Fairmont, there are about
two dozen youngsters who are not
likely to forget it for some time to
come. On that night of fun and
deVilment these kids went up on
Hamilton's hill above the city aud
removed certain building from off
a certain gentleman's property. The
building was carried some distance
down the hill to sort of preeipice,
where it was dumped over, and when
it hit the ground there was not
enough building there to patch up a
hole IN fence When the owner of
the property arose the next morning
he saw what bad happened and was
very angry. He went to Constable
Jones and told him to make an in
yeetigation and find out the names
OF everybody connected with the
removal of his real estate and make
the boys pay for new building or
put them in jail.
The constable followed instruc-
tions and yesterday the first boy

From some remarks which have
been made it is evident that there
will be many people who will wei
come a new gas company when they
are satisfied that there is something
in the proposition aside from hot
