MAKING TOOLS OF THEM.

The Prohibitionists and the News,
the organ of the Democratic clique,
have become very closely allied, the
latter no doubt willingly ayailing it
self of the opportunity to use the
Prohibitionists to the advantage of
the. clique.
But the Prohibitionists make
themselves ridiculous, when they
make such an alliance, and repudi-
ate the idea that the party itself
holds out-that of individual iden-
tity as party and opposed to fusion
on that account. The News has the
so-called Prohibition candidates in
this city as actually repudiating the
fundamental principles of the party
they are supposed to represent, in
that that sheet has them supporting
the liquor laws of this state as they
relate to Clarksburg. Those laws
provide for the sale of liquor
something the true Prohibitionist
can not either favor or support. And
yet the News has the so-called Pro-
hibition candidates declaring them
selves in favor of the laws regulating
the sale of liquor.
Nor is it the general understand
ing that the Prohibition party is
sailing under the color or flag of
reformers, so-called. The one great
principle with that party, the one
that keeps it alive, is absolute prohi-
bition of the sale of liquor. There
is nothing in its platform of such
import TO it as that and nothing that
it especially dwells upon except that,
and yet there is every indication
that there is a studied effort on the
part of the Democratic clique to use
the Prohibitionists for political adj
yancement of that clique. If the
present alleged Prohibition ticket is
willing to be banded around in such
manner, it is high time it should
come out squarely and let the people
know that it is not really Prohi-
bition ticket, but one conceived and
created for the benefit of the Demo-
cratic clique.
The Prohibition party can not
win in this city or county BY play
ing into the hands of the Democratic
clique, or even the Democratic party,
and they should have learned that in
the last county campaign. Did
they? II they did, they will not
permit the Democratic clique, which
stands charged with the use of booze
in that campaign, to make tools Of
them.
The fact that the News begs the
people of this city to vote for them
Is sufficient argument to convince
any reasonable man Of the conniv-
ance between the so-called Prohi-
bition candidates and the clique.
Here is what the News itself says:
vote for them What more need
be said to convince those candidates
themselves, il they are innocent and
ignorant Of the scheme, that the
Democratic clique has started out to
use them for their own special bene-
3its
The Telegram has no fight TO
make on these candidates, nor does
IT intend to support them, purely
because they are not running on the
Republican ticket and are not Re
publican candidates, but should they

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION,

The Good Roads convention to be
held here March 9 should be large
ly attended The movement is one
of vast Importance to every resident
of the city and county and especially
to all property owners and users Of
the roads of the county and city.
The objects of the association in
general are to mold public senti-
ment in favor of better roads, to
send Representatives to the great
good roads state convention 70 be
held in Wheeling the middle of
March, and to inaugurate moye-
ment in this state that will result
in wise road legislation.
The convention here is to be held
under the auspices of the National
Good Roads Association, whose In
|fiuence in many Of the States has
brought about the needed legislation
and resulted in the construction OF
splendid roads at far less cost than
|it was before that to keep the roads
in some sort of repair. The subject
lis so unfamiliar in this section that
exact and specific information and
instruction can not here be given as
to the manner and methods of the
movement. But, we do know that
the National Good Roads Associa-
ton has brought about the existence
Iof good roads in Ohio, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania and many
lother States, and it is also known
THAT good roads legislation in those
States has largely been the result o.
the pressure brought to bear by just
such permanent organization as is
contemplated in and for this county
There is every reason 10, believe the
same can and viii be done in This
State. But il can only b done BY
the formation of such permanent
organization as it is desired to form
here.

To be seated in buggy behind a run
away horse, battling for his life with a
wildcat, was the experience of Harvey
Jsckson, a travelling man from New
York. Saturday afternoon, while be
was driving from Irventon to Youogs-
vile, Pa , the rig was passing a lonely
stretch of woods when the beast spraDg
into the vehicle from tree, aligbtiDg on
the drivers lap The wildcat lore the
robe to pieces and attacked Jackson He
drew small knife and managed TO open
il. While the cat was tearing his face
and body he jabbe it with bis weapon.
The horse had become frightened and
was running away, while in the swaying
buggy the battle continued. Jackson
was gradually growing weaker, when
suddenly the cat dropped to the bottom
of the buggy, dead. He had killed it
with the knife. 7 he horse ran almost to
Youngsville before Jackson recovered
and stopped it. Although badly hurt the
man will recover.
To be chased quarter of mile and
then held prisoner for four hours by a
monster wildcat was the experience OF
William Ford, an uparmed engineer, at
the air compressor Of No. 4 slope at the
Richards coIiery, Mt. Carmel, Pa. The
compressor is located on top of the
mountain, ard Ford had been a half
mile away, getting some wrenches need
ed at his machine. As he was returning
to his work the cat chased him. He
reached the engine house and as he
opened the door and the animal realized
that its prey was about to escape it
sprdng for him, but he had closed t he
door and the body OF the cat went against
it. For four hours it kept vigil outside,
but when daylight appeared SUNK away.

DR.. Gregory is one of the leaders OF

The bill provides that at least t rec
physicians and the county coroner must
unanimously sgr'e on the necessity for
the legalized murder, as contemplated
by the Gregory measure, and that II
must be with the consent Of the nearest
relative and, if practicable, Of the patient

Paralysis, leprosy, cancer, imbeclllty,

are enumorsted by DR.. Gregory among
the many Illustrations in justification Of

By the terms OF the Gregory bill any
person of sound mind over ten years OF

believing death inevitable, may call
