HARRISBURG, W. VA, NOV. IA, 1903
Within q few short months thern N

Within a few short months there will
be FIVE hundred or more men employed
in Steclton. There is every assurance
that this is no joke. The industries
which are building there now and which
are in contemplation and practically as.
sured will bring about just such a result.
There will be demand in this connection
sufficient houses not only for the men
themselves, but also for their families
That means a building boom and plenty
of work for skilled and other labor. I'm.
der such conditions, who is it that is Sc
skeptic as to doubt that Clarksburg has
great future, and yet there are some
who ridicule the idea that there is IL
be anything of consequence in tits splen,
did suburb? Such persons evidently dc
not want to see Clrksbmg grow, but
prefer the moss.back ways tnat pre-.
vailed years ago. They ought at least
keep quiet and wait and see before they
go to bowling about the location Of in.
dustnies hurting the city.

A child of Mrs. Geo. 7. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath
stepped back against hot stove, which
burned him severely. he child was ii

that she had bottle of Chamberlain.

would try it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was

Eight or ten people residing at Mt.
Clare and Lynch's mines, where smallpox
exists are running around in Clarksburg
and everywhere else they desire. They
have all been exposed to smallpox. The
county board OF health ought to know
this, and it is the opinion of the Tcle.
gram it does know it. Now, why is this
permitted? The Telegram insists for the
benefit of the people of Harrison county
that more rigorous measures be taken to
rid the county of this loathsome disease.
The members OF the board should make
a personal investigation and not entrust
the matter solely to some one else. Ac-
tion is demanded-not after every one
gets the disease but now. If necessary,
the county court itself should take the
matter in hand and spare no expense and
leave no stone unturned to smoth the dis
ease, and not wait until we all die from
the disease or become immuncs.

me Best Remedy for Croup.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood. On,
of the most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle of the
night by whoop from one of the chill,
dren. The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as re-
volver is sure to be lost in case of bur.
glars There used to be an old.fashioned
remedy for Group, known, as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet.
ter, and does not cost so much. It causes
the patient to "throw up the phlegm'
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-.
vent the attack. 1t never fails, and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

The smallpox situation Is not in as
good shape in the county as it should
be. For some unknown reason the health
board has not given it the attention it
demands. Many who have certainly
been exposed to it have their liberty.
They should have been kept under quar-.
antine. Possibly, more strenuous meas.
ures should be taken by the physicians
who have it in charge. 1t costs consid.
erably to cope with the disease, but it i
better to do that now than TO let i.
spread all over he county, aud cause no
small amount Of cost to get rid Of it
finally. Besides there is danger to life.
The situation demands extraordinary
measures and both county and city of.
Gcials should work in harmony and to-
gether to stamp out the disease quickly.

Whitaker Wright's Case.

THE case of Whitaker Wright is one
OF the most interesting the legal fra
ternity has known in years" said Thorn
as Marshall, prominent New York at
torney, at the New Willard last night
THE decision OF the court is anxiously
awaited by those interested in extra
diions.
AS my client. have done every thing
possible for Mr. Wright. and have every
reason to think we will be successful.
MIR -Untermyer, my law partner, and I
have Just closed our arguments before
the Supreme Court OF the United States,
in which we urged that a writ of habeas
corpus be granted. II this is not done.
we want him admitted to bail. IN fact,
there is no just cause why he should
be confined in Jail as he is now.
"The Supreme Court will look upon
the legal side Of the case in an i'm
partial manner, I am confident, as the
case Will become a precedent in inter
national matters Of criminal prosecu-
ton.
Wright was an able fnancier, but
the men associated with him seemed
to be weak kneed- When the Boer war
began they became frightened. and the
stocks of the company in which they
were interested were thrown upon the
market with disastrous effect to all Of
them, including Wright himself,
There has been no domestic intellect
ties connected with Wright's family, and
that talk is all wrong. As soon as my
client is released on bail or by habeas
corpus the truth viii be given out by
him, and certain English capitalists will
become better known on account Of their
prosecution of the case"

Secures Release From Prison.

Representative Francis NJ. Griffith, OF
Indiana. is registered at the Riggs
House. He came 10 Washington to OBJ
tain the release Of the son of one of his
constituents. who has been confined in
a military prison on a charge Of deser-
ton.
The Representative wore smile OF
large proportions last night over his
success, and he told g Times reporter
there was Joy in one Indiana home last
night he was sure.
THE young man is Orlando J. Fort
ner and he comes Of good family" said
the Representative. He is confined IN
the military prison at Fort Smelling
The young man deserted. it IS true. but
I showed the military authorities his
mind was weak and twice he has been
confined n an asylum. His parents were
heart broken and could not bear to think
OF their son being incarcerated.
Il had no other business in Washing
ton at this time but this, and will return
home within a day or so. Politics is not
discussed in the Hoosier State at pres
ent, as most Of the leaders are too busy
making money. There will be ample
time for such matters later on in the
year.

Baltimore. and Ohio Road. three impor-
tant official changes have been made on
that road,

been appointed third vice president. in

dent of the road in New York. has been
advanced to general manager.
All three appointments proved sur
prises TO the employees of the road, for
the Offices of second and third vice
president were but recently made, AMI
that fact had been kept a secret until
the appointment of the men named. It
has been conceded for some time by
the highest officials of the road that
more 6fces of high position should be
made and the official personnel in
creased.
Mr.. Bonds selection is pleasing to
host OF his friends in Washington. Tor
he possesses marked ability in his pro-
fessiOn. In charge OF the legal depart
ment. he will be superior to John X.
Cowen. general counsel Of the road and

Mr.. Potter's advancement is along
lines pursued by all large railroad sys-
tens. Heretofor the general manager
has been the highest officer to the presi-
dent in charge of the operating branch
of the road As third vice president,
his Jurisdiction will be broadened, and
much Of the detail work removed from
his shoulders.
