The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-05-23
CAPT. DovENER DENIES 1T

In an editorial yesterday the West
Virginian incidentally referred to an
incident alleged to have taken place
in Wheeling some weeks since rela-
tive to young man from Fairmont
and Congressman Dovener- Captain
Dovener says the young man WIS abso-
1utely wrong in his statement that he
went into a saloon with him on Sun
day. The West virsinian didn't mean
the statement to imply that such a
thing was 4 high crime" or mis-
demeanor." anyway We simply said
we didn't approve the action The
young man who is responsible for the
story is prominent socially and in q
business way. so We are entirely will
ing to let the matter rest without at
tempting TO give any further evidence
in the case. Whether the Captain has
forgotten the incident or the young
man was mistaken in the Congress
mans identity, We are unable to say.
but all agree that Sunday drinking has
been cut out and that Is perfectly sat
iSfactory to the West VirSinian and
we are willing for the incident to
close

THIRD MAN TALK.

The Dovener forces are beginning
to see the handwriting on the wall
and the West virginian is informed that
overtures are being made TO get
third man to enter the race. presuma-
bly, that they may play trick with
him. The scheme is to get man from
Marion or Harrison or perhaps from
both to make fight for. the home"
delegation in order that he may be
able to use that delegation as he wants
to. Once and uninSrtucted delegation
or 4 delegation named by the home"
man is selected. Dovener followers
are planning to try stampede proceed
inSs. force the home man out of the
race and land the delegation for the
Captain But it is too late day
for third man to enter the contest
1t is conceded that no other man i'll
the district could have shaken Captain
Dovener from behind his breastworil
of postmasters. except Mr. Hubbard
and now that he has the Captain ~ouI
in the open"and has him beaten to q.
standstil1. 1t would be manifestIy an
outrage to let a third man reap the
benefit OF Mr. Hubbard'S victory This
third man talk amounts to nothing
except as an exhibit OF the weakness
of the Dovener cause. whose lieu
tenants are the oriSinators of it.

TO STOP lRRIGATING
WITH SEWAGE WATER
BOARD OF HEALTH is AT LAST
GRATIFlED
counciImen Hear Entreaties of Phy-
clans and Decide to Discontinue the
Practice Said to Menace Health of
the People

Tie entreaties of the board of health
have at last prompted the board of
public works to declare that after Sep
tember 1 no more sewage from the out
fall sewer will be sold for irrigation,
The board of public works reached
this conclusion yesterday and sent noti-
fications to several users of sewage
to that effect. Today others will be
notified and when the thirty days
grace required by law has expired the
board of health will no longer have to
pass ordinances prohibiting the sale of
sewage irrigated vegetables in this city.
Complications, which until recently it
has been found difficult to disentangle,
have prevented the board from taking
this step in the past. Inglewood resi-
dents, where the sewage is sold, have
been complaining vigorously against the
use of sewage and several have threat
ened the city with damage unless the
sale of ii was discontinued. The Ingie-
wood Land and Water company has
persistently complained to the board
that the sale of sewage for irrigation
has hurt the sales of their lands and
several months ago threatened the city
with a damage suit unless 1t was dis
continued.
The sale of sewage has been a source
of income for the city. In the sum-
mer months the city derives as much as
1920 for turning the outfall into the ir-
rigating bitches of the truck gardeners
in this vicinity But Inglewood resi-
dents complain that it is a prolific
source of disease and the board of
health of this city has induced the coun-
ell to pass an ordnance prohibiting the
sale of any vegetables eaten raw, such
as cucumbers tomatoes, radishes, let
tuce and the like. that have been irri-
gated with sewage.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The speculative
movement for rise in stocks encountered
some difficulties today in the amount of
stock for sale to realize profits, which
are made attractive by the considerable
advances achieved last week.
The accumulation of buying orders over
week end is always watched for by
speculative holders to afford a market for
absorbing profit taking sales. The mall
ner in which these are absorbed is re-
garded as an important index of the mar
ket. The buying orders on hand this
morning from outside sources were not of
imposing proportions, according to the
complaints of commission houses. The
supplying of stocks was done so that
small impression was made upon prices
There were influential advices in special
stocks at the same time which served as
sustaining influences on the general list
The renewed advance in Southern Pacific
was notable example. The disturbing
effect of the evidence of profit taking
was much aggravated by slump in

which time it has been relegated to the
