BACKWARD SEASON
Has Held Business in Abeyance.


The feeling obtains that general
business is not what it usually is at
this particular time, which is attr'ib-
uted, in large part, to the Backward
ness of the season. 1t is estimated
that the season in various parts of
of the country is from four to six
weeks late, and this, in connection
with a great deal of bad weather
and impossible roads, has held trade
of all kinds in allegiance. Seeding is
late, owing to bad weather, and all
outside work has been more or less
delayed thereby. Good, seasonab1e
weather for a few weeks would do
more to- start up general business
than anything else. Reports from
other parts OF the country are gen
orally in line with the situation here,
but an improvement is looked for
later on, and it is to be hoped that
it viii be realized.

Celebrated Magician Coming.

There is no more. popular attrac-
ton visiting here than Kellar. His
entertainments are always pleasing,
and the mystifying novelties he has to
offer this season are in advance, 1T
is said, of any he has hitherto given.
For many years Ke1lar has studied to
present a series of Hindoo Illusions
that may convey some of the weird
th enes and beautiful creations of the
famed necromancers of the Orient.
At the Grand Opera House tonight
he will present, by the way of deeper
mystery than usual, experiments in oc-
cultism which deal with the reincarna-
ton of human beings, naturalization
Of living men and women out of the
air, growing OF rose bushes from the
seed to maturity, in full light, in such
manner that everyone may witness
the entire growth OF the plants. These
Illusions. for, OF course, they are all
the result of deception and trickery,
are the most mary uS~achievementS
of the great magician's life.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1904-04-19

There is something about the per
sona1 appearance of Kellar, the great
magician, which is suggestive Of the
supernatur and uncanny, yet one is
at loss to decide just what it is
Personally, he is a genial, quiet, re-
served sort of man, ever modest in
speaking of his accomplishments and
adventures. There is a vein of deep
humor in his composition and he en-
Joys many quiet jokes made possible
by his deft fingers and quick brain.
He is always devoting his thought to
his profession to which he is most
faithful student. He is ever inventinS
new tricks and Illusions and some OF
his most marvellous feats on modern
magic are of his own invention. He
has Travelled all over the world in pur-
suit of his studies of magic and nee
romancy and has had many exciting
adventures in foreign countries.

STOLE WATCH FROM FRIEND.
And Pawned it With sLocaIIJeveIe Ter
Properly Recovered.

a case of rank inSratitude came to
light Monday noon when an NJ. r.
engineer was seen leading a brake
man from the So me division-up Main
street to Fishers store to allow the
oprietor to identify him as the man
who pawned a watch there Satur-
day.
The brakeman, who has wife and
family at Monongah, has been in
town constantly since payday and
late Friday night he succeeded in los
ing the last Of his months pay at
one of our resorts where they allow
one to indulge in worldly pleasures
by lingering the paste-boards."
Knowing that his felIow-worke
was penniless the engineer, who has
a room in the city, generously offered
the unfortunate man the use of it.
When he awoke late Saturday morn
Ing his friend had left the room
and he discovered shortly afterwards
that his fine watch had also disap-
peared.
Mr.. Fisher Identified the brake
as the man who left the watch at
his place, but the engineer decided
not to prosecute on account of the
needy condition Of the mans family.

There, was positive declaration OF

of winter apparel. Everyone, who
sports a horse and runabout had use
for them Sunday and several elegant
new traps were on exhibition. No

A. Clark's fine new Thoroughbred be-

A Base Ball Park Needed.

Again the base ball season has
opened and again Fairmont is with
out a suitable park for the indulgence
of athletics While the old Fair
Grounds are all right for the game
itself there is positively no place Tor
the spectators excepting the top rail
of the board fence or the seats of
available carriages. With the trolley
extension pushed to an early com
p1etion, as promised, arrangements
ought to be under way for the &C
comodation of the patrons of the pop
ular sports, and this place could be
made the meeting ground for many
colleges and organizations through
out the state.

Servant Girls in Great Demand.

The servant girl problem is ser

Wheeling. Fairmont has long eX-
perienced the Inconvenience caused
by a dearth of competent help in
the household and while misery is
said to love company, we are not
particularly gratified to learn that
in nearly every part of the United
States the same trouble is being had
by housewives. Factories and stores
are claiming nearly all the American
girls, the great majority of girls en-
the present time being those of for
eign nationality. At this time of
year there is a greater demand for

secured for girls willing to come to

vatiOn from cellar to attic. Larger
wages are being paid than ever be-
any price.

The $Pittsburg Times is conServa-

of experts, and its authority in all mat
sters pertaining to the events OF the

and it's position in that regard in
.Pittsburg is as unique as it's thorough
reliability in every way. Staunchly
Republican in political policy it yet
gives all the news of all parties. Its
moral tone is high and churchmen
of every creed find in its columns
more news of their interest and
work than in all it's contemporaries
combined. Sports are given the prom
inence they deserve and no more.
The news. concerning them is bright,
timely and adequate, for the work IS
done by master. Theatres in The
Times, as in no other paper have the
truth told about them by the plays
they offer. No business consideration
ever interfereS with the publication
of criticisms that really criticise, and
in this department, too, the work is
{ done by master Society and the
affairs of women find careful and com
plete exposition on the page devoted
to them. Industrial matters are ac-
corded the prominence they merit in

market is given the attention that has
brought The Times into the front rank
of financial authorities. Above all
The Times is a model not only of

A Burning Question or How to Keep
the Boys on the Farm.

No question is giving the farmers
of our country SO much concern as
the-How to keep the boys on the
farms. The tendencies nowadays IS
for boys to seek a living on pubic
works or anywhere but in the couE-
try on the farm. Where is the trout
BILE, is it with the farmer, the boy or
our social system. 1t may be located
with the first In way The farmer
himself is to blame. Frequently he
treats the boy as if he had no rights
and tries to make it as unpleasaH"
for the boys as possible. AS some one
has said there are four things &c take
into consideration and if those were
carried out it would have a great ell
feet toward keeping the young pcopls
at home. The first named is, Atti'lc-
tive Country Homes. Now it may be
said that this is Impossible. The
house may not be large but Eltle
energy spent on it will make the yard
shine with flowers and make it clean
and have a pleasant appearance any
way. Whether it be howell or one
of the more stately modern farm
houses it can be made to have an in
viting appearance. Try 1T and see
what the effect will be. The second
we should have attractive Country
School Houses and Grounds. This
can be done very we'll if everybody
would take as much interest in the
children as they take with their
sheep and cattle and horses. Then
add to this Good Country Schools
NJ, al 1n n
lem to some extent. The fourth and
last is Good Roads. II our Coun-
try was blessed with good roads
we counld have things much more
pleasant in the country than
the conditions will now admit. 1t is
true that all cannot have good horses
but if we have good roads we would
have very strong incentive to the
young people to remain in the coun-
try home for they would realize the
fact that when they wanted to go ont
there would be some satisfaction in
trying to get around. Some ore has
said that the cities and towns are
built up from the wrecks of the coun-
try homes. This, to some extent Is
true. Some people have kind OF
hazy idea of a pleasant time in the
future forgetting that they are llvlrS
right on during the time that they
live in this so called seml-cCn@cious
state not having any thing in part'cu'
lar in sight and going toward no del
mite point Why not start right onI
from this time to make home pleas
ant one in order that the boys
and girls NAV have some pleasure.
Brother farmer think this over and
see what you can do to remedy tins
matter.-Centra1 Republican
