HEALER OF BLIND
LEAVES HURRIEDLY

The man that makes the blind see,
according to an announcement IN
the Clarksburg News, left Fairmont
very hurriedly last night DIR. Q. y
Henry, representing the state board
of health, threatened to prosecute
him, and he concluded he could not
stand the pressure. There IS scarce
" any question that there will be
but little faith in that sort of treat
ment hereafter, and that the wind,
ed advertisement of the trick will
NOT cause the people to flock to Fair
mont to have their sight restored.
They will no doubt conclude to re-
main blind rather than try the ex-
pertinent.

FRENCH HAYS
TO BE INDICTED

The federal grand jury at Park
ersburg in January viii have many
cases before it, mostly for violation
of the internal revenue laws.
The most important one In that
line however Will undoubtedly be the
case entitled, 'sThe q. s. w. French
Hays" Hays is a member of the
legislature from Gilmer county. and
has been for many years, besides be
ing a prominent and Influential
citizen in other respects. During
the last fair in Calhoun county he
was arrested charged with having
whiskey consigned to other parties
and allowing it to be sold at the fair
grounds, of which association he is
one of the directors.
Besides this alleged offense, he IS
charged with obstructing the course
of Justice and interfering with a.
government officer in discharge OF
his duty. Deputy c. A. Musgrave,
of Collector Glasscock's force, makes
these allegations. Mr.. Hays is I'M
der bond to answer these charges be-
fore the United States grand jury
in January. Should Hays be in-
dicted, which seems likely now, the
ablest counsel in the state will be
secured for his defense, and the out
come of the case will be watched
with much interest.

VISIT GAS FIELDS

A special train Of three
conveying a party of prom il,lit
residents of Cincinnati arrived here
Wednesday evening. The party
was composed Of ffty-six persons.
They were members of the city
council of Cincinnati and officials Of
the Cincinnati Gas Company. Acc
companying them was their own
band consisting of several pieces and
they were a Jolly crowd.
A number had lower berths and
slept in them, while Others register
ed at the Waldo hotel and accepted
its fine hospitality. These were w

A. Blair. NJ. R. Dowing, J. G. Mar
duette. H. w. Hammer, Frank. b.
Kimbel, Ed Botheate, William
Foherbrack, A. Morrill,. ii F. Flske,
Ira Dougherty, A. J. Beatty and D.
F. Donaldson
The party are inspecting the oil
and gas fields along the West Vir-
ginia & Pittsburg railroad and es-
pecially back of Weston, as well as
fields in other parts of the state,
with the purpose of ascertaining
the advisability of utilizing the gas
from some of these fields.
For some time there has been a
movement on to establish natural
gas system in Cincinnati and fran
chise has been applied for The
application caused the artificial gas
company, which supplies the CITY,
to question the new company's abil-
ity to get natural gas, and this, to-
gether with propositions by the Ohio
Fuel Company, Of Pittsburg, and
interests in this state to furnish all
the gas needed, induced the trip, not
to mention the fact that some of
them probably come to see whether
natural gas really exists.
The natural gas fields being new
to them they are wonderfully inn
pressed with this rich resource and
the several uses to which it is put.
The various members of the party
were astounded at the magnifeence
of the Waldo hotel, and pronounced
it a credit to even a city as large as
Cincinnati.
The party went to Weston on
their special train Thursday mornz
ing to return in the evening and
then go to Pittsburg over the Short
Line railroad, inspecting the oil and
gas fields in Harrison and Wetzel
counties as they go.
The plan will be, if agreed upon,
to lay large pipe lines and take the
gas to Cincinnati as-is being done
in supplying PittsbuFg, Toledo and
one or two other large cities.
