The sale of the Baltimore &l0hio's
interests in the soft coal fields of this
section of the State is taken to mean
that the company's action is in COM
plianee with a recent decision Of the
! United States Supreme Court to the
effect that it was unlawful for COM
mon carriers TO own and operate coal
lands, and also as the result of the
present investigation being made by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, as well as the fact that the fed
eral court here returned ir1iciments
against the railroad company for al
legged discrimination in the d;stribu-
ton of cars. A number express
Themselves as believing the sale will
he advantageous to Independent OPP
orators and that there s. now less
likelihood of there being clnsc FOR
complaint in the future. 1t is eyi-
dent that the railroad company in
tends hereafter to pursue a course
that will not favor one and be I'M
just 10 another. If it be true The
company did favor certain operators
because of its holdings in the coal
fields, the sale certainly means that
that fayoritism is 10 be discontinued.

What the outcome Of the bond
election at Salem for street paving
will be will not be known until after
the votes are counted. The ar
rangement is certainly all that can
be desired. Abutting property own
ers should pay the two-thirds and the
city in general the other third. But,
of course, there are some who own
a good deal of vacant real estate,
who are fighting the proposition.
Still. all such should be made by
popular vote to come into line. They
claim an injustice. There is one, it
is true, but not on the part of the
people. The ones who own the
vacant property are inflicting the in
justice. They want to hold farms
in the bounds of city and they do.
Why? Because they want other
people to build around them, that is
to say, make larger and better city
and thus afford them a chance to
make fortunes out Of their farm
lands. But the people in general,
| if they have their right senses, have
grasped the idea andwi see that the
land misers dough up.

The article is all out of harmony
Mr.. Swisher is warm friend Of Sen
ator Elkins and for that very reason
it is not likely he dropped what the
Times says he did, and the myster-
ious origin of the story also makes it
rather fishy. The Times may have
gotten its Inspiration from its hope
that Senator Elkins would withdraw
from politics, but that hope is 50
vain that what the Times says Mr..
Swisher said is laughable.

While it is commendable to
sprinkle and sweep the streets, vet
care should be taken not to make
mud out of the dust. The sweeper
does not act properly in mud. 1t
merely smears and next day one finds
as much dust as ever, after the sun
shines few hours. This may seem
a very insignificant thing to talk
about, but it means a great deal to
the merchants and other business
men and the appearance of the
streets.

DON'T NEGLECT a GOLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops.


Nine cases of Consumption out Of ton
occur in this way:
A person catches cold. The cold is not
properly cured, and another cold IL
Caught.
This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is Intellectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold Is caught and .
cough develops. Cough syrups are re-
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief. N
By and by the patient gets tired of
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair
The cold continues TO develop and fac
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only TO
discover that the PATIENTS In the hrst
stages of consumption.
1t was Just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not considering
1t serious, neglected It, thinking as
many others do, that itwould "wear of ;"
However, it chung to her tenaciously,
and in two weeks she found her health
in 3 serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna hsd been brought
to her notice, and she took 3 course OF
this remedy before 1t was too lste.
In a week the cough and cold were
broken, ana three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Pcruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour passes IN which some one does not
have a similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
a cold. The next step is failure TO euro
IL promptly. The third step is the de-
yelopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. IT is
then consumption in the first stage.
At any time during the progress of ca
tarrh, from tho first onset of the cold to
it's final settlement in the lungs, Pcruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
If Won have taken n cold, buy Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than half
dozep bottles alter the catarrh has
fastened itself or the lungs.

The statement made in another
column by baltimore banker about
Clarksburg and her resources and es-
pecia1y her hanks is a most lauda-

Clarksburg is already financial

dawning on every one that it Is real

A FAIRY rALE.

The Fairmont Times contains the
following concerning Senator S. B.
Elkins and his intentions in the
matter of succeeding himself:
"a considerable stir has been
created in local political circles by
a remark which was dropped by Sec
rotary of State Charley Swisher
when he was in the city Saturday
concerning the candidacy of Senator
Elkins for reelection. According
to the Secretary, who is an ardent
supporter of the Senator, the senior
Senator from West Virginia may
not be a candidate for his scat
again.
ssThe sentiment in Marion coun-
| ty against Senator Elkins is we'll
known and was spoken of to secre-
tary Swisher by some local people,
who gave warning that if Elkins
wants this county he would better
keep out of it. In the midst OF the
conversation Swishel is alleged to
have broken out in rather strong
Language and demanded to know
what Elkins ever did against the
people of this county. Further
more, Swisher declared that he could
mot understand why the people and
press were jumping on the Senator
when he was not even known as a
candidate.
"Elkins has not vet said he is a
candidate for re-elcction,' is the way
the Secretary is said to have put ii
Gust how to take this the loca
politicians can hardly tell. Elkini
mas been recognized rs a candidate
for reelection for an indefinite mum
Ibcr Of terms and it is believed to b
a fact that he is after the job thu
time. But such a statement from
one Of his most loyal supporter
causes the politicians who are no
entirely on the inside to stop enc
think"

HANDS Off
United States Aid TO be invoked in
Case Of Congo Free State.

CHICAGO, Dec. i9.--The Record
Herald today says;
Fearful that the Congo Free State
has been annexed formally by Belgium,
leaders OF the Congo Reform Assoeia-
tion rushed to Washington last night
prepared to urge immediate action by
the United States.
Herbert s. Johnson. q leader In the
propaganda, which viii free the Afri-
can interior from the sway OF Leo
pold. received a telegram In the
midst OF a banquet last plight sum-
moning him to washington. He de-
parted for the capital at II o'clock and
said Just prior to leaving that 1t had
been decided TO urge with the utmost
pressure that the Senate take definite
action before the holiday adjournment.
The telegram to Mr.. johnson was
from Rev. Or. Thomas s. Barbour,
head of the Baptist Missions In Af-
RIGA, and the commissioner general OF
the Congo Reform Association In
America. The telegram stated that
advices by cable from Brussels indi-
onted that Belgium had through its
parliamentary action. assumed sover-
eighty over the Congo Free state,
pending tho closing UP Of formalities
between King Leopold as personal
proprietor and internal landlord. and
the representative Of the Belgian gov
ernment
The fact about the transaction which
has so stirred up the interested lead
ers is that the deal is to be cohsum-
mated far ahead Of the death or Leo
pold and the terms of the win Of the
king, which were formally ratified by
Belgium several days ago are to be-
come effective at once.

The directors of the tunnel company
win meet next week TO determine dch-
niiely whether the intermediate or
deep drainage tunnel shall be built.
The intermediate bore would cost
100000 and would require thirty
months 10 construct. II would cut the
camp at depth OF $50 feet below
the present tunnel. The deep drain
age bore would require from three and
one-half to four years in constructing
and would cost 100000. II would
cut the camp at a depth of i.1so feet
below the present tunnel or 400 feet
below the intermediate bore and
would be eight feet deeper than the
deepest shaft now.
