West Virginia cities have to deal
with. and too much Importance to
steps of prevention can not be att
tached. 1t Is well settled that the
disease is not atmospheric, but IS all
WAYS carried from one person to an
other in some way Frequently
there is reprehensible NEGLECT of duty
on the mart of those who have ty-
phoid fever patients in charge. Some
times it is neglect Of the patieht and
ofttimes it is carelessness in not
properly disinfecting the discharge
from the bowels, the same being al
lowed to be dumped into an open
closet or on the ground or in sewer
without the slightest effort to dis
infect.
1t is pretty generally known now
that the disease comes from germ
and that the germ Is not carried IN
the air and only gets into the sys-
tenn by being swallodew. Usually
this comes from contaminated water
though sometimes by slovenness 1T Is
carried almost direct from the sick
room to the family eating table IT
may also be in milk and flies carry 1t
to other articles of food and carry 1t
fast.
The life of the germ is said to be
several wears and the matter thrown
from the sick room upon the ground
or in the sewers without thorough
disinfection may saturate the earth
with germs, which lie dormant fol
months. only to be brought to life
by the stirring of the ground, Their
come in contact with vegetation and
are taken into the human system
resulting in serious sickness and
sometimes death. :.
Every person owes it to himself
and his neighbor to try to prevent
typhoid fever, rather than tc
thoughtlessly breed and harbor 1t
and to discharge that duty it Is
necessary that he should observe safe
sanitary methods, and especially
where typhoid fever exists do all IN
his power to kill the germs by the
most thorough disinfection. The
health authorities can not be too &C,
tive along this line and they should
strictly enforce all the sanitation
| laws and adopt every measure that
will have a tendency to rid com
munity of the disease.

coRNwELL DoDGEs.

John J. Cornwell's attention has
been called to the wide difference be-
tween the real state assessments of
Hampshire county and Lewis county
which were turned in about the same
time The increase was large in
Lewis and small in Hampshire. The
point the Telegram made was that
Lewis had become mineral county,
while Hampshire remains an agri-
cultural county, and, thus is it shown
that the new laws will require far
more from the mineral operators
than from the farmers. CornwelI
does not deny it in his paper, bur
makes this excuse for Hampshire:
eeWhat the Hampshire county
farmer does complain of and what
he has a right to complain of. is.
that the value of his farm land is
depreciating, necessarily, in some
acses due to the frequency which the
streams overflow it, or in Others to
the way it has been washed by storms
during the past few summers.
That plea sounds like it comes
from one who no longer feels that he
stands on safe ground. but sees the
sands slipping from under his feet
lust as he saws the streams are wash
ing them away in his county.
But also in this connection he
shows his unfairness and inclination
to dodge the issue. when he overlooks
Lewis county, which has not been
wilderness for more than half cen
Jury. and picks out Mcdowell conn
ty for the comparison he wonld
make. Tt is true that only Il few
years ago Mcdowell was n wilder
ness, but today its agricultural feat-
ures sink into significance compared
to the vast and rich mineral rcsour-
ees 1t possesses, and it is the latter
that have largely brought up the real
estate assessment of that county rs
a whole. 1t would be well, if he
would be honest with his readers.
not to forget or overlook this fact,
and then will he admit that there Is
to be relief not only for the farm
ers in Hampshire but also in Me
DoweIl. The mineral possessor and
developer are the men who are going
to paw a big part of the tax, because
they have been assessed more heavily
than heretofore.
Also in this connection. notwith-
standing the universal Democratic
cry that went up a few weeks ago
that it would all be over and the JIG
would be up with the people Just as
son as the personal and real estate
assessors reported, and that the tnN
receipts would be far greater this
year, he now makes this admission
at is hardly worth while to fur
ther discuss these laws now. They
will he tested, next year, not this
year because the assessment of rea
estate is not effective until next
year"
Mr.. Cornwell dismisses the sub
ject with that declaration. Doubt
less, he docs so most willing, with the |
hope that it may not again be put up |
to him to explain his explanations,
which confuse him more and more
every time he makes the attempt.
And we'll may he be eager to drop
the matter, unless he desires to make
some more admissions.

VLADIVOSTOK
IS CUT OFF

St.. Petersburg July 5. - Sustained
pressure of General Hasegawa's army
across Tunen river toward Russian ter
ritory is recognized in government cir
cles as Japans immediate step to force
Russia to make peace. Hasegawa g
army is now only 33 miles from the
frontier. Within 10 days it is fully
expected 100, 900 troops will be estab-
Used in villages of the Russian far
eastern region, which never yet had
the enemy within its boundaries. 1t is
realized by the general staff that Hasa
gawa intends to keep General Kasbeck
inclosed in Vladivostok. He will there
by prevent force from coming there
to defend Ussuri. The natives of that
territory can not defend themselves, as
thed whole population is in active ser
vice in the army. Thus Hasegawa car
overrun the whole territory from the
gulf of Peter the Great to the Amul
river.
Linevitch cannot prevent this, fo1
his 100, 200 men confined by Marshal
Oyama's 500, 900, and any attempt on
his part to relieve Kasbeck could only
result as did Mac Mahon's attempt to
relieve Metz in 1870. Linevitch can
retire from Hardin only to the trans
baikal region. Such retreat and sur
render of Hardin to the Japs would be
equivalent to offering them the whole
territory from Hardin to the sea of ia
pan, 1t is recognized that the whole

any cost and that he must accept a
general engagement.

VERDICT "GUILTY"

Portland, Ore. On almost the stroke
of II o'clock Monday night the jury in
the case of the United States against
United States Senator John II. Nit
chell returned a verdict of guilty as
charged.
The charge is that Senator Mitchell,
while occup ying his high position, ac-
cepted pecuniary compensation for
practicing before the federal depart
ments at Washington, which under the
federal statutes constitutes a crime.
The Jury recommends the defendant
to the mercy of the court.
The aged senator received the verdict
with fortitude. Severe and evidently
unexpected as was the blow, he showed
by no outward signs, save a CHASTITY
pallor and the nervous stroking OF his
beard that he felt the blow.
Senator Thurston, attorney for the
defense, stated, however, that if the
motion for new trial is overuled, the
case will be taken to the supreme court
of the United States if necessary.

Civil WAR DECLARED

st. Petersburg, July Z. - While no
official confirmation is obtainable the
Associated Press has been informed by
an authority usually reliable that the
admiralty has received news that the
Kniaz Potempkine, after shipping coal,
provisions and medicines, is again at
large in the Black sea and that the
destination is unknown. Whether the
report of the sailing of the battleship is
true or not, the crew took a remarka-
BILE step yesterday when, with all the
solemnity of provisional government,
it issued a manifesto address to the
powers, announcing that civil wal had
been begun against the existing regime
in Russia, and pledging the inviolabil-
ity of foreign shipping and foreign
ports.
This action doubtless was taken to
quiet the apprehension of foreign pow
ers and to leave no excuse for the send
ing of warships through the Darda-
nelles to effect the capture of the bat
tleship, which until now Russia s
BLACK sea fleet has not dared to at
tempt. 1t is considered shrewd move
on the part of the mutineers, and
stamps the commander of the crew as
leader far above the class of the or
binary sailor, and strengthens the
opinion that he is not member of the
original crew, but one of the revolu-
tionaries who went on bosrd at Odessa.
The issuance of the manifesto leads
certain dignity to the mutiny and
proves that the crew and their COM
mander have no desire that the world
should believe them to be outlaws, but
that they should be looked upon SER
iously raising the standard of revolu-
ton.

RAID IN TENDERLoIN j..
Philadelphia Police in One Night Make
1000 Arrests.

Philadelphia, July By one OF
the most gigantic police raids in the
history of any municipality the new
administration of Philadelphia, EN-.
phasizing its hold on the city govern
ment, has swept clear of questionable
resorts a territory of 20 square miles,
including the tenderloin and fine resi-.
Dental districts, and let loose a flood
of scandal that will wreck scores of
homes.
Everything from massage houses to
opium joints and "speakeasies" was
closed.
The station houses could not begin
to hold the prisoners, and from mid,
night last night until 8 o'clock this
morning five magistrates labored to
dispose of the cases. Hardly a man
on the police force slept all night and
every patrol wagon in the city was in
constant requisition.
One hundred and fifty houses were
entered and 1000 prisoners, men and
women, taken. The approximate
amount of fines imposed upon the men
found in the places is $4,000.
The approximate amount of bail i'm
posed upon the proprietors and in
mates totals 100000.
Three hundred quarts Of champagne
were contiscated, also 100 cases of
cigars, and gambling devices of all
kinds.
The number of police employed in
the raid is 400. The raid was made
on evidence secured by the Law and
Order society.

"HF the present knowledge concern

it is safe to say that tuberculosis

declared DR.. Lawrence +. Flick of
Philadelphia, one of the American del
egates TO the International tuberculosis
congress at Paris, at which Professor
Emil Won Behring announced his cure
for tuberculosis. DR.. Flick lays more
stress upon proper Authorization and
plenty of open air and exercise in the
cure of tuberculosis than he does upon
a specific remedy for the disease, but
he and other conservative physicians
express hope that Professor Won Behr-

Ilis-claim that he has found a real con-

world this remedy for dreaded diph-

upon mankind. The debt of the world
to him would be heavy indeed should
his consumption cure prove as success
full as expected, thus making it pos
