THE cLARKsRURe TELEGRAM
REJolcEs OVER PROSPECT
" @ oF#THRouGH LINE.

Work begins all along the route Of
tie trolley line between Clarksburg
and Fairmont this week and before
tie end of the week the valley will be
filled with men and teams busily en-.
gagged in tearing up the earth for the
roadbed of the car line, says the Tele.
gram. 1t is stated that from one thou.
sand to fifteen hundred men will thus
be actively engaged.
|; The efforts in securing the rights Of
way have been very successful and
practically all have been gotten: But
very few remain to be secured and no
difficulty is anticipated in getting
these. Residents along the route have
taken very kindly TO this very valu-
able improvement. They all seem
very eager to have the line completed
at the earliest possible moment, for
they recognize the great boom 1t is
! to be to the valley and It's residents.

The Jewish outlook., 1905-08-11

Sergius Witte, the Cars peace envoy,
must have been amazed at the condition
of the Americanized Russian Jews, so
plainly evident in his visit to the east
side. Schools, public Fairgrounds, edu-
cational Institutes, parks and recreation
piers, bathing pavilions, banks and
stores, newspapers and cafes, which he
passed in his half-hour trip, all evidenc-
ing high intellectually and prosperity
and the blessings of republican institu-
tions, must have stored in his mind some
interesting facts and observations to con-
vey to his imperial master Belonging
to the party of moderate liberals, M.
Witte will undoubtedly become more i'm
patient Of despotism after his American
trip. This peace conference, whether it
be successful or not, may be the means
of preparing Russia s greatest statesman
to assume the leadership Of a popular
movement, sounding the death -knell Of
autocracy.
This mornings papers contain the
news that a delegation of prominent
Jews, headed by Pres. Kraus, Of the l.
O. B. B., are to wait upon M. Witte for
the purpose of an interview concerning
tthe future welfare Of the Jews in Rus
sia. We cannot see the good such an in
terview will effect, except that it give
the I. O. B. B. an opportunity again to
pose as the elders of American Israel.
M. Witte is persona non grata with the
reactionaries who are the present coun-
selors Of the Gar. Furthermore, M.
Witte is powerless against their designs.
The Jewish outlook., 1905-08-11

Coming back, as he undoubtedly will,
after signing a peace treaty which can
not help but be humiliating to the
bureaucrats, his popularity will hardly
be enhanced. The problem of the Rus
sian Jews must be settled in Russia by
Russia. A constitution and national
assembly will give the Jew citizenship
and equal rights. A conference between
M. Witte and a Jewish delegation must
needs eventuate in a platitudinous ex-
change Of polite nothings. STILL we must
not forget that the lodge orators must
have material over which to wax elo-
quent, and what would the village am
haaretz do if he could not refer to the
extinguished (sic) services rendered by
our great and noble order, etc. etc. 20
The Jewish outlook., 1905-08-11

In an article on the Americanization
of the Jewish immigrant, in the current
number of the American Israelite Mr.
Geo. w. Ochs has occasion to note the
absence of the Jew in graft" politics.
Mr.. Ochs may be correct in this state
ment. The Jew, however. in the metrop-
oils especially, is addicted to another
form of "graft" equally pernicious
Jewish charitable institutions, which are
often the proud boast of every Jew, are
becoming infected with the "graft'
germ. The prOverbial red-tape surround
ing Jewish institutions is bad enough
but 1T has come to pass that the poor
man has little chance in the very insti-
tutions supposed to be maintained for his
special benefit. We know of cases. gen

man in the palatial Mt. Sinai in New

Considerable loss of cotton is re-
ported from the neighborhood OF
Relampago in consequence of the
recent overflow. But a world of
cotton will be made out in the
Delfna neighborhood.
There is an abundance of corn
in Hidalgo county just now, and
it is offered for 5000 mex per
cargo of six bushels, this equals
soc gold per bushel.
Out in the back part of the
county cotton pickers are in big
demand and Sprague's gin is
running on full time.
Don Florencio Saenz, his daugh-
ter Miss Manuela. and nieces Miss
Jane Champion and Lorenza Cano.
took the train at ReynoSa for Mon
terey Thursday morning. The
party propose taking an extended
trip through Mexico, and will visit
the capital. Don Floreucio will re-
turn in a few days. but the ladies
will remain a month or more at
some one of the delightful summer
resorts in the mountains.

from a bale to a bale and quarter
per acre can be raised here. Mr..
Bingham will probably locate in
this section. Cotton is a crop which
commands money when other pro-
ducts are out of the way and would
be the means of putting consider
able of the circulating medium into
the hands of those who would turn
il loose again, and times would
begin to have an upward tendency
at once. There are few facilities
for handling cotton at present but
these would be a natural result of
a large acreage. {. Lindsey. who
accompanied Mr.. Bingham on his
rounds getting acquainted with the
people this morning, says in the
neighborhood of Olmito alone at
least 1000 acres will be planted in
cotton, and this would be a great
inducement to the putting in of the
proper machinery and other facil-
tiles for handling the crop. Other
localities will no doubt do equally
as well as Olmito, and the prospects
are good for large acreage of cot
ton another season. The boil wee
vii has gone farther north and it is
not likely he will be any detriment
TO the proposed cotton crop.

Last Friday two diamond rings,
a baby ring, q gold bracelet and a
breast pin disappeared from the
residence of Samuel Belden. The
officers were notified and Chief of
Police George Connor went to work
in the matter. A ten-year-old girl
employed as a servant in the Bel
den household was suspected of
having had something to do with
the disappearance of the jewelry,
and Chief Conner succeeded in OBJ
tanning a confession from the girl,
who said she had sold the articles
to a woman named Catarina Silva
for S1.5O, Mexican money. The
woman in turn had SOLD them to
a man for a small profit, and on
the man the jewelry was
recovered. The articles stolen were
valued at between $500 and 400,
and Chief Conner deserves great
credit for the prompt and efficient
manner in which he handled the

In this field of scientific research the wisS est students have been most deeply sem sible of the limitations of human knowledge: but charlatans and pretend CTS claim to hold key to mysteries in earth and the heavens that are hidden to the balance of mankind. Quackery in raeteoroiogy as well as in medicine. Is indicated by the extravngant preten- sions of its practitioners.
 Modern astrologers, following closely the lines of their ancient prototypes, give the sun a minor or passive role, while the moon and planets form an a1l-star aggregation in the evershifting scenes of the earth's drama. To each planet is assigned some speciality act on the stage, each producing different type of weather: and when the three act in conjunction the complex results are startling.
 The problem of seasonal forecasts is receiving at the hands of the ablest and most pafnstaking students of both con tinents comprehensive consideration that is certain to be fruitful and far reaching in its ultimate results.
 So important and so pressing is the work and so promising is the field that the Chief of the Weather Bureau is building and equipping a large observa- tory wherein the best talent available will soon be employed to study the in- tricate and profound problems of the atmosphere, whose solution promises improvement over present methods and results in forecastlng and may lead in time to seasonal predictions on a truly scientific basis.

 New York, June 20.-Judge Holt in the United States Circuit Court today signed an order requiring the directors and officers of the United States Bank CTS Corporation of Maine to show cause on Friday next why a tempo rary receiver should not be appointed to assume control of the corporations s business The court also granted temporary injunction restraining the company from receiving or paying out money in its possession or dlsposlng or any of its other assets.

Mir. Parks says he purchased fifty shares of the cor poration's capital stock of $6,0Oo,000.
 The public subscribed, the complain ant continued, sss,0OO of the stock, paying that sum in cash out of which the selling agents were. paid the un- usual commission of 50 per cent. Since its organization Mir. Parks says the company has transacted no business whatever and has failed to purchase share of trust company stock.
