BILL
INTRODUCED
BY Senator Harmer to Amend the
City Charter.

State Senator Harvey w. Harmer
has introduced in the Senate a bill TO
amend the charter of this city. The
draft of the bill has not been seen by
US and we do not know the nature OF
the amendments. Some weeks ago
the city council passed resolution re-
questing our representatives to have
the charter amended in reference to
the election law, so as to adopt the
Australian ballot system. Since The
matter has been opened up it would
be well to have several other amend-
ments and the city council should look
into the matter, even If a special com.
mittee has to be appointed for the
purpose.

W. s. Siers, commonly known as,
Bud, accosted the editor of this paper
In rough manner this morning on,
the street and became SO furious that
he gave him gentle tap with his
hand. Mr.. siers takes exception to an
article published in these columns
about his alleged candidacy for mayor.
It's not unusual for us newspaper
fellows to tell our own troubles. We
have enough to do to tell or not tell
other peoples, but the public win
want to know about this and there
are perhaps few who will be disap-
pointed not to read that murder was
committed. We had big package
under one arm and had no weapon OF
defense but we did not run. The
parting occurred without bloodshed
and both went their respective ways.
As we have been threatened we sup
pose there will be something doing in
the near future, but we really expect
Mr. siers to either apologize OF give
US a good sound thrashing. Both
have happened tous and we don't ess
peclally mind either. If we are
pressed for an expression of our pref
erence in the matter, we might as
well say we would rather receive an
apology or make one.

Schmulbach's Company Files ir
County Clerks Office Maps and
Profiles of its Proposed Line
From Here to Salem.
The CompanyHas Original Franchise.--Fight May
be Between Schmubach and Homer
Mckinley, Who has a Franchise.

There is every prospect that there
viii be a street car line between Salem
and Clarksburg within the near fu-
ture. Two companies have the mat
ter in hand. Mr.. Homer Mckinley
has the financial affairs of his company
in splendid shape and is about ready
tobegin construction. The other COM
pany is the, Fairmont s. Clarksburg
E,sctric Railway Company. The lat
ter company has the original charter
and has taken action, which indicates
anintention to build the road.
The board or directors of Mr..
schmulbach's company at meeting
held on the 18th day of last December
adopted the route and it was
ordered that map and profiles of the
proposed line be filed in the county
clerks office in this county. These
maps and profiles were filed in that
Office at 3o'clock Saturday afternoon
and are now of record.
Since two franchises have been
granted over practically the same
routethe fling of ftheSchmuibach maps
and profiles may mean more than the
building Of his line. There may be
merry war behind it between the two
companies which have franchises and
one nay try to block the other. Flu
ture developments will disclose the
status of affairs. A forecast can not
begiven now of the existing conditions,
il any between the two companies
as they have not become public proper.
~. 1t is to be sincerely hoped, how
ever, that one or the other will build the
line as soon as possible and that the
relations between the two companies
win be amicable.

fatal wound.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Dolores and Dora.

"And you found Uncle Joe when
every one else had given up the
search" said Dora, softly, her eyes
full of loving admiration. "How
brave YOU are, Dolores. | would never
have had the courage to do it, but
then I'm not brave anyhow"
why shouldn't l do it?' Dolores
asked quietly. turning her large eyes
wonderingly upon her companion
HE is my father"
"Of course he is" Dora replied, with
a nod of her bright head, untying the
broad ribbons of her hat and swinging
it around upon her knees. Papa is
my father, too, Dolores Johnson, and
I love him; but | would never have
enough courage to go off on lonely
dangerous mountain to find him II
he were lost-no not if had dozen
men to go with me. Suppose you had
slipped over one of those terrible
lodges MIR. Green told us about, or
walked right off into chasm when
you thought you were in the path? No,
L
were brave like you"
Dolores said nothing, because she
had nothing to say. Dora must be a
coward if she would not do that for
her father; any Of the women of the
settlement would have done the same.
''Mr. Green told us all about you,
Dora continued, "and l wished SO
much to get at you, but you would not
| come to me, and | could not come to
you, and then the rain-oh, the rain il
raineth every day, and | begun to
think | would have to wait a week
at least. and the things Mr.. Green told
me about you when he returned from
here made me all the more restless
and anxious to get at you, you poor
| dear"
HE saved my father" Dolores said
presently. She said it slowly, as
though she were forced to say it.
Dora nodded.
81 know it," she said, "the man who
came over for the doctors told us
about it. but you saved him more thar
anyone else, Dolores, and you cannot
deny it. They'd never have thought
of going over there to look after the
deputies gave up the search had il
not been for you

The Mcbride Case Again.

St. John, Kans., Oct. 26.-Mr. and
Mrs. William Mcbride and Jesse L.
Lines, NJ D.. have gone before Mr.
George E. Moore, Notary Public, and
have sworn and subscribed to written
statements confirming the story OF the
awful illness and subsequent cure c.
The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. NC
Bride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic
in his statement, and there does not
row seem to be any room for doubt as
to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and nothing else, saved the little boy
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increas-
Ing frequency He was semi-paralyzed
in the right side, and his mind was
BADLY affected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcbride say:
Tho very day we began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had TWEEN
tv-seven of these Epileptic spells or
fits. In less than a week he ceased
having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensa'
ton in the neighborhood. The sworn
statements have confirmed the whole
story.

authority:
"Be quiet, Johnson. Not another
word. Charlie. so into the other
room. Mrs. Allen, help me at once;
his excitement has brought on hemorr-
hage."
AS Green closed the door behind
him he caught a glimpse Of Johnson's
face that he never forgot. 1t was
pallid as death and CHASTITY with the
hollow eyes. Horror and amazement
mingled in his face as he noiselessly
crossed the room and passed out or
the house through the pantry at the
rear, without disturbing the two on
the doorstep, and struck out among
the pines beyond toward the summit
where the winds were soft and the
sky blue and still. He saw nothing
around him clearly; his thoughts, in
a tumult, were in the little bare room
of the house below where the strong
man, who had just been brought back
from death, lay in his repulsive lit OF
passion; and with the mare in the
stables at home, the beautiful, intelli-
gent animal, ruined forever through
a cowardly act of malice; the two
blending so closely that he could not
separate them, mingling with the
stray words he had heard in the town
of other and darker things than he
had dreamed.
Then, like a touch of peace, came
the thought of the two girls on the
doorstep, two such lovely, womanly
girls, each with a noble soul, yet
totally unlike, the one whose life had
been set in among the grand noun
tains touched with their grandeur and
nobility of thought and life, and to
him the purest, most tender of wom-
en-, the other proving her tenderness
through all her life in the heart OF
the big city with its temptations and
it's evils.
