Northern China
NATIONS ASKED FOR AID
All Over Civilized World...
Great Lake Covers Once
Fertile Valley.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.--Offi-
cial advices received here from the
Prefect of Huaianfu, regarding the
famine in North kiang Su China, con-
firms the stories of suffering and want
among the people in that section
Crops are reported as being almost
a total failure in Tao Yuen, and it is
estimated that by New Year, the
meager supply of provisions will be
exhausted.
Not Merry Christmas for Famine
Victims.
Conditions in Antong and Funing
townships are still worse, the crops
being practically total failure. The
country everywhere is under water
and for a distance of fifty miles the
people are compelled to wale through
water from a knee to neck deep.
Formerly Fertile Valley Now Immense
Lake.
The prefect states that in the
stretch of country Immediately west
of Using Ho, what formerly was a
fertile plain is now vast lake.
Here and there the prefect said
"are groups of cottages which rise
above the sheet of water and can only
be reached by boats. The people are
in a state Of absolute destitution, not
only their crops but also the reeds
which constituted their fuel being de-
stroyed by the oods."
Help Asked Of All Foreign Nations.
An urgent appeal is made to the
people of all foreign lands for aid for
the stricken people, whom the state
department advices have already
placed at fifteen million souls.

Chicago, H., Dec. l9.--The Tribune

may have far-reaching effects on the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try. was precipitated yesterday wnen
number Of farming machinery com
panies openly declared their intention
to fight the trust" prices and meth
DDS of the iron and steel combine of
the United States. Their first move
was to draft a petition appealing to
the President and to Congress to aid
them in their efforts to obtain just
treatment at the hands of the steel
monopoly.
Federal Aid Asked to Curb Trusts
Power.
The petition calls on the authorities
at Washington to curb the power Of
the trust and to make a new tariff pro.
vision which will break up all injur-
ous combines and has been signed by
prominent implement manufacturers
throughout the country.
This declaration OF war is the out
come Of a quiet meeting Of the heads
of the farming machinery concerns
which was held few days ago in this
city They decided this morning that
something must be done to curb the
powers of the steel trust in order to
save the smaller implement makers
from ruin 1t was the opinion OF sew
aral of the men that the farming in

SUMNER VACATION.

The summer vacation III Clarks-
burg is about due, and there will
be a number running away to At
lantic City 10 chase up and down
the boardwalks, where there is moth
ing of natures beauty to be seen and
pothing to inspire, nothing TO take
the mind to lofty heights, nothing
reall.:-but hum-drum. The idea is
to subject ones self to the rough
and tumble of the railroad, parade
the boardwalks two weeks and come
back home and pay a doctor bill.
But few, if any, are rested. The
change Of scene and action does them
no good and they are weary just
like tramps, when they get back.
Senseless as it seems many still
persist in the habit and others want
to form it, but, there will be this
year a noticeable curtailment, be-
cause Of the fact that free transport
tation is no more on the earth
West Virginians, and especially
those in this section of the State,
ought to get wise about their yaca-
ton. All know the mountains and
hills, woodland. rivers and creeks
emphasize this section as a fine sum
mer resort without imaginable limi-
tation. Comfort, convenience and
real pleasure are TO be found most
everywhere in this section. The
streams abound in fish and frogs Of
superior kind. The mountain trout
and perch are plentiful, and the
water is clear as crystal and pure as
gold, and virtually ice-cold in the
hottest weather. Any one who goes
as far away as Rich mountain but
few hours ride can and will verify
this statement. Again, the steam
boat is to be found on Elk river, to
say nothing Of the MonongahcIa,
and again We have Cheat river.
There is hunting and fishing galore
within a radius Of but few miles and
every place to pitch a tent and
live in ease and comfort at far less
cost than going to Atlantic City
and all would end the summer yaca-
ton vigorous in health and happy
in frame Of mind.
But vacation means now 90 where
the crowds are, be part Of seething
mass Of humans, indulge in dissi-
pations one would not even think of
at home and come home completely
tired out and not fit for days TO re-
turn to work.

Common dcccncy ought TO be suffic-
lent prompting.

The suggestion has been made by
prominent member Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic that the war
cannon be moved from the railroad
park 10 the court house lawn. There
are several reasons why this should
be done. The park is all cut up and
made unsightly by railroad switches
and the cannon attracts but little at
tention as the result. Then because
Of the switches and cars there is
danger attendant upon visits to the
cannon to inspect and admire it.
Also in the court house yard it
would be conspicuous and also be
properly taken care of. No one
would think of defacing it in such a
public place or would any one try
10 destroy it. While the cannon is
in the custody Of the Grand Army
Post here, yet all will agree that the
Post ought TO be aided in its remov-
al either by county funds or public
subscription. At the June term Of
county court the Post should ask for
the privilege to station this valuable
historical war relic in the court
house yard and the court should
take up and act on the matter Of
appropriating the money necessary
for its removal.

the frightful condition Of some hog

off a terrible stencil. There is Ger
tainly no excuse for this, except
carelessness, laziness and indiifer-
ence. Unless these pens are clean
ed within the next day or SO and
kept clean, the health officer will be
asked to give his attention to them,
and in that event they may be de-
clared nuisances and abated. The
owners will then have fresh pork, or
lose their hogs. Those pens are GO
ing to be either cleaned and kept
cleaned or destroyed, and no one
need labor under any other impress
