1.-THE Iron Master"

On the unrequited love of Philippe
Derblay, a self-made man who has
amassed fortune in the iron business,
hangs the plot of "The Iron Master
which will be the offering of the Byron
Douglas company at the Columbia the
atre for the week beginning May 9th.
The piece, which is dramatization of
George Ohnet's book, lie Maitre de
Forges." by Lloyd Grand for Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall is said to be one of the
strongest plays ever written, and it
had a successful run of over 800 nights
in New York city.
While the play is an elaborate one
to be undertaken by any company, it
is claimed that the Douglas company
will present the drama with the origi-
nal scenic effects and, as the piece
gives opportunity for elaborate costum-
ing, it may prove to be the best yet
seen at the Columbia.

shall be labeled, and authorizes the de-
structiOn of condemned products.

NORRIS RELIEF FUND.

Each day finds the relief fund for
the Norris family growing rapidly,
which fact speaks well for Clarks-
burg, and the movement will doubt
less keep up until an amount is rails
ed that will alleviate for some time
the terrible affection that most de-
plorabIe accident visited upon this
family. Money can never assuage or
obliterate the grief of the survivors,
but 1t can keep them from the horrors
that starvation and physical suffering
bring. Tha money donated for this
purpose will be applied dtscreetly and
to the bes' advantage OF those, for
whom 1t is raised. and none will re-
gret their giving to such a worthy
cause. Splendid generosity and IN
terest have thus far been shown and
1T is hoped the same vein of the milk
of human kindness may flow until a
suf1cIent amount Is raised to keep
them through the winter at least, to-
gether with what feeble efforts they
themselves will be able to put forth.
The more one thinks of the case the
more app aling it becomes and the
citizens of ClarksDurg irrespective OF
class or condition raye tender hearts.
This Is an as iurance that al amount
will be raised here that will not only
add to the comfort of this unfortu-
nate family but also show to the
world that we are a community of
brotherly impulse.

Should the Democrats want or un
dertake to fight Hon. w. p Hubbard
for congress on the tax reform issue.
thu Republicans and many others of
the district stand prepared to give
them the worst whipping they have
had since the good sense and judy
meat of the district wrested the dis
trict from Democratic control and
started it on the road to its present
high Industrial and commercial de-
velopment. The voters OF this dis
trict appreciate reduced taxation just
as much as a region not half so pros
porous and have amply enough sense
not to vote against their inta rests.
just to crafty the whim or aspira-
ton OF deluded politicians.

Only Democratic papers and Demo
cratic politicians clamor against an
honest tax, an equal tax, one in which
every man bears his just proportion.
That is exactly what the new tax
laws are intended for. They aim to
treat every man on the square and
alike. OF course, If some Democratic
tax lodging papers do not like it,
they will have to lump it so far as
the people are concerned. for they arc
all going to vote as their tax tickets
tell them and that will be for the
party that has reduced their taxes and
made them equal among all classes
and conditions OF the residents and
taxpayers of the state.

Last year the new tax laws were
partially in force; the assessments
were higher but the levtes lower, and
it was shown in many instances,
which were fair, that taxes had been
greatly reduced. Telegram readers
will recall examples, pointed out by
this paper, where last years taxes
were compared with the year before
and great reductions were shown. 1t
even informed its readers of the fact
that the taxes of Democrats who
stumped the county against the new
laws and Mr.. Dawson were greatly
reduced along with those OF their
aeighbors by virtue of the new laws
And yet there are some Democratic
papers that will not be convinced.
But wait a month or so and they will
have to be, for the tax tickets will
tell the tale-a tale they can not mis-
interpret or misrepresent or mis-
quote.

IGNORANCE a PLENTY.

An intelligent public will not take
much stock in such remarkably ig-
norant declaration as the following
clipped from a Democratic paper:
The rich pay Federal taxes only
in the proportion of the number of
the rich to the number of the poor
and that is an Insignificant proper
ton
The Democratic sheet in this COL
nection contends that the people pay
the federal taxes. Take that for
granted and then look at the declara-
ton it makes. Even a casual glance
must convince one that it means to
tell its readers that there is a federal
poll tax, for ia no other way can it
be figured out that people pay the
federal tax on the basis of number.
And since there is no federal head
tax the Democratic paper seems cul-
pably ignorant in it's attempt to dis
cuss FEDERAL question.

The vote of Preston county does
not show that the farmers of that
county were against Sturgiss, as Keim
got most of his vote at railroad points
and not In the rural districts where
most of the farmers of Preston county
reside. The country districts were
almost solid for him. But the Demo
cratic papers for purely partisan pur-
poses have moved all the farmers in
that county from their homes to the
railroads, and left the crops to Provi-
dence. That shows those same pa
pers are very much mixed in their

There certainly is no real excuse
for any Democratic paper charging
the rural and farming residents Of
Preston county with voting against
sturgiss, ais the returns do not show
Il that way. That county is largely
an Agricultural county and the great
majority of its citizens are farmers,
ana If they had voted against stur-
giss, as the Democratic papers try to
make 1t appear, it is a dead sure thing
that sturgiss would not have receiv-
ed the great majority over Ksim that
he did. To be right on the square
such assertions aa the Democratic
papers make IN this respect ara SO
paIpably false on their very face that
any one can readily sec their falsity.

why Blackie Wore the Plaid

Professor Blackie frequently stayed
at DR.. Donald Macleods house in Glas-
gov. One night, said the DOCTOR we
were sitting up together. Blackie said
in his brusque way, 'Whatever other
faults | have, 1 am free from vanity
An incredulous smile on my face
reused him. You don't believe that.
Give me an instance" Being thus
challenged, said, "Why do you walk
about fourishing a plaid continually p
I'll give you the history of that, sir
When | was poor man and when my
wife and I had our difficulties, she one
day drew my attention to the thread
bare character of my surtout and asked
me to order new one. I told her
could not afford it just then, when she
went, like noble woman, and put her
own plaid shawl on my shoulders, and
have worn plaid ever since in men,
Dry of her loving deed"

Surprised the Astronomer.

DR.. Flamsteed, who was astronomer
royal i'll NeWtOn's time, was rather tic
kled by the belief of his neighbors in
his powers of consulting the stars
about terrestrial affairs An old wash
erwOman at Greenwich who had been
robbed of her linen came to consult
him about it's recovery. SO he set about
drawing squares and circles and sug-
geSted that if she went into a certain
field he would not be surprised if she
found her lost linen in ditch. But
when she came back with haste and
joy and a half crown in her hand for
his fee he was not only very much sur
prised, but alarmed. Good woman"
he said, Il am heartily glad you have
found your linen, but l assure you
knew nothing Of it and intended to
read you lecture on the folly of ar-
plying to any person to know events
not i'll human power to tell, but I see
Satan has a mind | should deal with
him, and never will | attempt such an
affair again so long as l live"

Another new law is one regarding Sc
lection of library books for the schools.
Heretofore it has been part of the
town clerks duty to aid in their selec-
ton. Now this work is all placed upon
the superintendent. The law also re-
quires the superintendent to make out
lists by towns and districts of all the
books now in the school libraries, ar
ranging them alphabetically, and also
by subjects, as history, biography, etc.,
with variety of other details. The
number of volumes thus to be listed is
about 10000, and suitable record books
for this purpose must be provided. This
duty required of us involves a great
amount of labor and considerable ex-
pense, but no provision is made for com
pensation. I am willing to do the future
selection and recording of books, but it
is not just to require any superintendent
to 90 over all the work for ten or fifteen
years back for nothing. So [ will try
through the Educational committee to
present some fair way out of the diff
Guilty.

OF minor improvements in other places
In conclusion I would say that the
past year has been very busy one, TAX
ing nearly all my time for the school
work. Some things desired have not
been accomplished, others have worked
out favorably, much remains to be done.
Plans are maturing for some sugges-
tions to be printed and sent out to i'm
prove the work of the coming year. We
should look upon our schools as an in
vestment- an investment not only of
money, but of time, of interest, and of
effort. The more we wisely invest in this
way the greater and richer will be our
returns.
Thank the Board for the ways in which
it has cooperated with me in TIE past, ]
trust in your cooperation in the future,
as one great factor for the improvement
and uplifting of our school system, re-
