provcrb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

YES INDEEDY.
They Have Had Small Pox in
Fairmont Ever so Long.
Soft Impeachment is Admitted by up
River People but They Think There
Is no Need in Getting Excited About

is no Need In Getting Excited About
it-Clarksburg Too-How Grafton
Feels.
A special from Fairmout says that
there has been small pox In that town
for the past two or three years. No
public announcement Of this has been
made until statement published in
this paper on Monday as to the preva-
lence of the disease was called INTO
question by an enthusiastic but mis-
guided resident Of that city.
The town has fought the malady
quietly aud has prevented it from
spreading. Whenever it appears IL a
house rigid quarantine has at once
been established and 10 this manner
IL has been held within bounds. There
is no real reason for getting excited
about it so the Fairmonters allege aud
they seem TO have the right sow by
the ear 10 this respect at least.
However when a few cases appeared
in Morgantowa a great hurrah was
made about it 10 the Fairmont papers
They may now publish few lines
about their own conditions.
Clarksburg also admits the soft i'm
parchment Of having the disease for
three or four years. In that time a
few people have died but the rest have
not become excited and the malady
has been kept within bounds.
A message from Grafton about con-
diuions IN that section follows:
The smallpox situation over about
Oakland and Mt. Lake Park has
grown considerably brighter during
the past few days, the MUSICIANS hav-
ing succeeded in getting the threaten
ed epidemic we'll under control There
are but eight cases within the corpo-
rate limits of Oakland, and all grow
ing better. 1t was necessary to adopt
the very stringent measures used here
in the matter OF quarantine TO get
control Of the disease, but the physi-
clans may congratulate themselves
that they have succeeded so admirably.
The quarantine will be raised from
Loeb Lynn today, IL is stated. There
has been but one case in Mt. Lake
Park proper, that Of young lady who
was nearly we'll when the case was re-
ported. The situation is said to be
worse at Newburg, and runneltcn and
Rowlesburg also have several cases
The cases here in Grafton are closely
quarantlned, and are being very care
fully attended and no further spread
of the disease is appfehended. There
are three cases-yery mild ones-at
the Robson boarding house on Main
street, one case on the bill and three
at the emergency hospital out ON the
poor farm, all Of them rapidly recover
ing.

Take Time by the Forelock.

Many towns are taking warning
from the fate of Chicago and are
equipping their amusements places,
hotels, churches, and public places
with fire escapes. So far nothing OF
the kind has been done here. There
isn't building in town with the
proper fire escapes attached. Every
time there is big gathering here
there is imminent danger that hor-
ror resulting in the loss of scores Of
lives may mark the affair.
There facts are not idle dreams.
They are real and they will at
some day be wildly impressed on
us. Shall we wait until il is more
thoroughly impressed on us or shall
we have action at once?

ALL SORTS OF RUMORS.
Stoppage of Work on Wabash
sets them to Flying.
Some Think that u. 4 o. and Wabash
have Gotten TOgether-Others think
that Concessions nave Been Made
Ramsey Says Road Will be Built
PittsDurg not Scared.

The suspension of work on the
Wabash in this state does not look
good TO those who have been hoping
for the road to come. They fear that
some sort of arrangement has been
made whereby the road will not be
built. On the other hand they have
assurances from officials who know
what they are talking about that the
road will be built and that nothing
can prevent this.
Work has been stopped from the
state line in through south to
Belington except on the Paw Paw
tunnel. This will be sent along
for some time yet. On every other
contract the work has stopped. The
contractors themselves profess to be
in the dark regarding the reason for
the move. The officials say it is
done to save money as it is too ex
pensive to work through the winter.
From Grafton comes the report
that the Wabash has brought con-
trolling interest in the B. Il o. and
will not have to build a rival line.
Another yarn is that an agreement
has been made between the two roads
and the Wabash gets certain con-
cessions and will not build into
West Virginia on this account.
President Ramsey states in reply
to question that work will be re
sumed in March or April and that
there will be no backward steps ia
ken in construction of the road.
Information from Pittsburg is to
the effect that those interested down
there don't feel the slightest uneasi-
ness over the situation but expect
the road TO be built as planned,
The fact that work was to be stop
ped was generally discounted in adj
vance and much excitement was oc-
casioned any where when the men
laid down their tools. When they
take them up again many people will
feel better however.

All the workmen formerly employed

good reasons for stopping work just
now, other than bad weather, but
that there is no intention whatever OF
abandoning the line. The contracts
