The weekly issue of the 'FRE1E

in the State of Texas. It is
mailed to $50 post-ofices, and

tising medium in the State of
Texas, when it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulatlon.

RaIwayl Company Given Franchise for Street
Railway in New MantinsviI|e.

consumed in reading the applica-
lions a motion was made that only
the clauses changed in the appli-
cations be read. This motion
seemed to greatly obviate matters
and the session proceeded more
rapidly. At the conclusion Of the
reading Of the applications the
council retired. to secret cham
Der, where they remained in ses-
sion until after IL o'clock. After
some time had been consumed in
deliberation they finally announc-
ed their decision, and thereby full
filled their promises as originally
given two years ago.
1t was generally predicted that
the council would not arrive at
any decision, and a great many
of the citizens started to leave for
their homes. Much interest was
evinced, and quite a number of
citizens fingered until council an
nounced the name of the lucky
company.
Their action Tuesday night
seems to meet with the approval
O fthe greater number of the cit
liens, since they believed that the
Wetzel-Tyler Electric Railway
Company should have the fran
chise as they have fulfilled every
promise made.
The company is to have the
road completed and in full run
ming order within six months,
stand one-half of the expense of
building a new bridge across Fish
ing Creek and to widen North
street.-Wetzel Democrat.

Brief But interesting
Review of Trade

Erratic weather has tended to
make trade reports somewhat ir-
regular, but, on the whole, results
have been very satisfactory.
Early delays were followed by In
creased activity, particularly in
what might be termed Easter
lines. 1t is noteworthy that much
business for fall delivery has ap-
peared, and more supplementary
spring and summer contracts are
being placed than jobbers antici-
r ated. Mercantile payments are
also increasingly prompt. Indus
trial activity expands, iron fur
'naces and steel mills maintaining
their good record, textile plants
securing large orders, and foot
wear manufacturers are able to
hold full prices without curtailing
operations. Labor controversies
are few and cause little inconven-
fence, while immigration for the
last week was more than double
that of the corresponding week
in 1904. Transporting interests
are able to handle the increased
business with little congestion,
railway earnings thus far report
ed for April exceeding last years
by 1912 per cent. Foreign COM
merce for the last week showed
gain of 50, 16O,86 in value of mer-
chandise exported, and imports
were So, 415,922 larger than in
the same week of 1904. Money
has continued abundant and easy,
but several unsettling events, in
Guiding the extended holiday,
combined to produce liquidation
in securities, and the average of
the sixty most active railway
shares declined $1.97. Bank ex-
changes at New York were 97.3
per cent greater than in the same
week last year, while at other
leading cities the gain was 22.5
per cent.
Liabilities of commercial fail.
ures thus far reported for April
amounted to $4,039,176, of which
$1,794, IA were in manufacturing,
So, ia, 941 in trading and $129,991
in other commercial lines. Fail
ures last week numbered 200 in
the United States against 241 last
year, and 81 in Canada compared
with twelve year ago.

After several weeks Of anxiety
and worry on the part Of our cit
liens, the town council at last saw
fit to give the franchise for the
building and operating a street
railway in the city of New Mar
tinsville to the Wetzel-Tyler Elec-
trio Railway Company at the spe-
cial meeting heidi the council
chamber in the courthouse Tues
day evening.
Probably a hundred people
were attracted to the meeting by
the announcement that the coun-
ell would grant the franchise, and
it was some time after II o'clock
when they finally came to, a decls-
ion The New Martinsville Elec-
trio Light, Heat & Power Com
pany and the Lowther Kaufman
Company were present and repre-.
scented by attorneys. All three OF
the companies presented their
best propositions and each appli-
cation for a franchise was given
careful attention by the council.
The meeting had progressed
slowly until Councilman Powers
made a motion that each company
be given one-half hour in which
to make changes and present their
best proposition to the city. This
was accordingly done, and a re.
cess was taken for this length OF
time. At the expiration of the al
lotted time council reconvened
and the applications were read
again for their approval, but on
account of the amount OF time

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of woman g pref
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Zen that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. If 4
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her for
tify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by regu-
lar use of DR.. Boschee's German

Dear sir.-Alay l get some assistance

Early family as descended from Jeremiah
Early. Of Cnlpcpcr county, who was born
170 In Mddlcsex county. His parents
were Thomas and Elizabeth EARLY, both
dead when he was eleven years old. This
tradition points to the suggestion that
they were OF tho Governor Yeardley Fam

known. except they located In Accomac

That the name OF EARLY came from

name Yeurdley was once spelled card

that the Early family was the same or
closely connected with that Of Governor
Yeardicy. OF Virginia, Is doubtful. The
first mention or Jeremiah Early is in 1850
in Albe,nhrle, having come from culpsper.
lie had n son, James Early, from Orange,
1850. who also settled In Albemarle and
had family OF four sons and three
