W. B. Kern has completed his
work of taking the enumeration of
the children of school age. The
toal number in the school district
which is composed of Sistersville
and Gerry Owen shows we have
1,147 children over 6 and under
81 years of age, which is an in
crease over the enumeration of
last year of 73 pupils.
There are 440 boys under the
age Of 16 and over 6 and 427
girls. There are 134 boys over 16
years of age and under Il and
1872 girls. We have s boys over 6
and under 16 who are mahogany
coloredl and 4 girls over 16 and
under 81; we have 2 Of the same
color, making a grand total of
LII.
This shows a good healthy in
crease. Business men inform us
the years business that is past
was the best they ever had, in
cluding the years Of the early oil
boom.
What is the Board of Education
going to do with these new schOl-
ars? The schoolrooms were all
crowded last year. We know
many new families will move here
this spring and summer and the
children will want to attend
school. We think this increase in
population ought to rouse the
Board of Education to take some
prompt action toward getting an
other schOOlhOuse. The board also
wants to meet and call an election
to vote for an independent school
district. We ought to hold this
election before the voters get in
terested in politics. The railroad
south will soon be under way.
This road will add thousands of
new customers to our city. 1t is
going to make Sistersville a grow
ing and prosperous city. We want
to prepare now for the new in
crease and nothing will add more
to the desirability of our city for
a permanent home for outsiders
than to have fine public schools
and plenty of room for all. Let s
have a new schOolhouse and an in
dependent school district.

Excellent Easter Attraction.

One of the most famous Of all
plays. 1.-THE Two Orphans, and
its equally famous star, Kate
Claxton, will be the attraction
here on Wednesday, April 6. Few
plays have ever taken a frmer
hold on the affections Of the pub
tic than has 'The Two Orphans .
and few actresses have been more
closely identified with a dramatic
success than has Kate ClaxtOn
with this pathetic story Of Sis
terly love. The secret of the sue
cess of "The Two Orphans" lies
in its realism. its simple sadness
and in it's current of tender feel
ing running through the play.
Miss Claxton's managers have
made an elaborate farewell revi-
val this season with new scenery
and a large and thoroughly eff
cisnt company of players, which
has been meeting with the great

Classic British
Victory Hailed With Delight by King Edward
athereda at Course.

LONDON, June 1.-Leading all the dis
tance and in downpour of rain, Leopold
de Rothschild's ST. Amant won the classi-
cal Derby stakes at Epson today. The
race was worth 6,100 sovereigns and the
victory was popular one, as it was fear
ed that Gouvernant, the French entry,
would carry off the honor.
Rain fell heavily throughout the morn
ing and prevented the usual concourse of
gaily- decorated coaches and other We
hicles that have become a national feature
of the race. In spite of the poor weather
there was an enormous gathering present,
who came to the track on the numerous
special trains.
King Edward was present, accompanied
by the Prince of Wales, the Duke Of Con-
naught, Prince Christian, the Duchess of
Devonshire> e>and the Duchess of Portland.
Owing to the rain Queen Alexandra was
not present.
When the race was called the rain was
pouring down in torrents, but not enough
to dampen the enthusiasm of the thou
sands gathered about the course NJ
Blanc's Gouvernant was considered by the
majority a sure winner and there was a
large delegation of Frenchmen present in
high hopes of seeing the French colors
awarded the much coveted honor

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1.-St. Paul,
after a days rest on account of rain,
opened the series here today and found
q puzzling proposition in Isbell, who won
a clever victory for Kansas City. The
score was to 1, and the five runs made
by Kansas City represented seven hits
off Corbett in the fifth and sixth innings,
the only two rounds that the tailenders
were able to do anything at all with the
north town twirler.
He allowed but one measly hit outside
of the two bad innings when the Blues
jumped onto him and batted out a vic
tory, earning every run. The game
started out pitchers battle of the most
pronounced type, and for four straight
innings but two locals saw first, and they
on passes. The fifth round, however,
saw Corbetts undoing the Blues bunch
ing four hits, two of them Doubtless for
three runs. This was followed by three
more hits in the sixth, which netted two
more runs. Op to the eighth inning st.
Paul had made but two hits, Clingman'S
double IL the IlrSt and Jones single in the
third, and it looked as 1Sbell was going to
pitch shutout game. but Pierce's double
followed by Corbett's single saved the
Saints from a whitewash. 1t was one of
the fastest fielding games of the local
season. Kansas City being especially in
front with rapid stunts. The Blues pulled
off three double plays during the game.

it was found that President Collins had
not the means to pay the players whose

TRUE TO OLD LOVER
AS LONG AS SHE LIVES
Boston Woman Wills 100000 to Fiance
of Maiden Days.

PEABODY, Mass, June An un-
usual sensation was created here when
it was learned that the late Miss Eliza
beth Kimball had willed all her prop
erty in trust for an old sweetheart.
and cut off her own family without
cent. No inventory was filed, but it
is known that the estate is valued at
more than 100000. Her old sweetheart
and beneficiary is Harrison White
more, now living in Dorchester. Mass.
In her maiden days Miss KimbalI
was courted for six years by young
Whittemore, but for some unexplained
reason their engagement was broken
off, and young Whittemore went to the
war. When he was mustered out he
returned to Boston, married and set
tied in Dorchester, where he has lived
ever since. He is now nearly seventy
years old. He had not met his old love
in many years, and, in fact, had not
heard Of her death until notified by
friends today of her will.
Miss Kimball retained her faculties
remarkably well up to her death. Her
will was made March 10, 1908.
