The Business Mems Association
held q meeting last Tuesday evening
at which railroad matters were dis
cussed and action will probably be
taken to secure from the O., NJ. & st.
F. Ry. a new depot for Cresco If pos
sible, and some concessions also in
the way Of other accommodations
needed by Cresco business men. In
this connection, some are agitating
new railroad for Cresco, and 1T is said
that some Cresco citizens have been
informed that proper and concerted
effort on the part of our people would
secure for US an extension of either
the @. CT Western or Rock Island
roads to Cresco.
In short article entitled "Local

Opinion has this to say in regard to
a republican candidate for state sen.
ator from the Howard W innesheik
district: "Concerning the Senator.
ship, Winnesheik republicans have
had two consecutive nominations, and
will doubtless do the right thing and
concede the Senatorial nomination to
the republicans Of Howard county.
We have heard no one mentioned for
the honor, but have been wondering
IT'D. Q. Webster who was that csun.
tvs candidate four yearss ago, would
not again receive the nomination.
we are sure such a thing would be
quite acceptable to the republicans OF
Winnesheik. I"
Last week on different occasions
trains were compelled to stop and re-
move distractions placed on the track
on the high embankment just east OF
town. A railroad detective was sent
to investigate the matter and suspic-
ion was directed to young boy aged
about twelve years, the son of G. w.
Pierce. Upon being accused he admit
ed his guilt. The case was reported
to railroad headquarters and will be
disposed of according to their wishes
in the matter. While it is thought
the boy did not realize the danger to
which he was subjecting life and
property in placing ties upon the track
"to see them Jump" as he expressed
it, when struck by the pilot, still it is
a crime considered SO serious that q
penitentiary sentence of from two
years to life imprisonment is the
penalty ina conviction for putting
obstructions upon railroad track.

years ago. She is now a widow
with three children, the oldest less
than five years of age, and will have
another in a short time, making
four helpless babies for the young
mother to care for, so that il is a
very sad blow for her and the little
children. In fact, il is a terrible
affair all around, one father in his
grave and another behind the bars
and two young widows with four
small children each 10 struggle for.
Both men owned their homes and
Cress his shop besides, so that they
are not entirely destitute.
Blaney belonged to Preston
Lodge No. I43 of the Odd Fellows
of Mssontown and was buried Mon
day afternoon under the auspices Of
the lodge. Services were held at
the Mount Zion church, conducted
by Rev. G. w. Skinner, after which
the burial took place at 4:so in the
the cemetery near by. A large
crowd attended the funeral, about
forty coming from over Cheat in
the Pisgah neighborhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Cress, the
parents OF the prisoner, were here
Monday to see him and engaged
Neil ]. Fortney and p. J. Crogan as
attorneys to defend their son.
Calvin Rohr, the father OF Blaney's
wife, was here yesterday and in.
formed US that at least one able
counsel and perhaps two, would
be engaged to assist with the
prosecution, so that it will be a
hotly contested case. The plea Of
the defense will be that Blaney
assaulted Cress on his own premises
and that he thought his life in dan
ger and shot in self-defense. 1t is
said, however, that Cress had made
threats before and that he and
Blaney had fight last Christmas
while on a csrousal, and that Blaney
had whipped Cress pretty badly.
The general reputation OF Blsney
was much better than that Of Cress.
Blaney was hard working man
and good provider for his family
and the only charge against him is
that he would drink too much some
times.

The modern Monroe Doctrine as
expounded by President Roosevelt
is very unpopular with some of our
sister republics to the South of us.
Argentina entirely repudIates the
right of this country to use the
"big stick" and it seems that Secre-
tary of State Root will have to use
more than usual diplomacy to pre-
vent a combination on what is known
as the Calvo doctrine, which is that
the use of force is not permissible
for the collection of debts contract
ed with European nations. The

Corllss Fitz Randolph, of Newark,

all the Seventh Day Baptist churches
of West Virginia, the book includ-
es those of Woodbridgetown and

The origin of these churches is
traced back to the Quakers under

history is followed from Wales and
England through Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, and New Jersey into
West Virginia. The book is illus.
trated with upward of one hundred

The B. & o. railroad has made
some kind of fake sale of its
interest in the Fairmont Coal Com
pany since the courts have decided
that it is illegal for railroads with a
charter as common carriers to en-
gage in the coal business on their
own account, and now Vice Presi-
dent Bond of the B. 81 O. testified
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission that in the sale of the
railroad company's interest in the
Fairmont Coal Company to a syndi.
cate Of stockholders in the company
large part of the purchase price
would remain unpaid for thirty
years and that the contract provides
that those who purchased the stock
must ship all their coal over the
Baltimore & Ohio road till the
last payment IS made. So it wasn't
much Of sale after all, and proves
just as we thought, and It is simply
a dodge to evade the law and any
consequences that might result.
