SACRED SEASON
OF JEWISH YEAR
Day of Atonement VIII Be observ-
ed Tomorrow-Purpose
of Pentinence.

The most sacred season in the
Jewish year will be ushered in to-
morrow and will continue through
out Wednesday. From eventide to
eventide, the Day of Atonement,
CYpm Kippur) so called because it
is hoped that on this day all sins
are pardoned. is solemnly observed
by all Jews, all over the world, and
all withdraw themselves from work,
touching nothing in the shape OF
fod, laying aside all enjoyments. and
concentrating their whole minds up
on the sacred service.
This time is spent in the synagogue
in prayer and supplication. Accord
ing to the ritual the service on this
day IS divided into four party, viz:
The morning service. afternoon SER
vices, memorial service and in con-
clusion service. for the reason that
with this the ten penetential days
close.
The purpose of these ten days of
penitence, seven of which intervene
between the New Year and Day of
Atonement is to give an opportunity
for penitence and reformation so
that the Day of Atonement may be
one of publication and pardon for
past sins. AS 1t is day exclusive
of all worldly matter it is a day of
total abstinence of food, even water
being prohibited.
1t was on this day that the High
Priest was permitted to enter the
sanctum sanctorium. to make pro-
pitiation for the sins of the people
and to pray to God to bestow in HIS
infinite mercy, peace. blessings and
tranquility on the nation during the
coming year.

FLANAGAN PREDICTS
SCHERR'S NOMINATION
Well Known Election Prognosticato,
Says Schcrr VIII Have Only
Slight Opposition.

Jesse j. Flanagan, former resident
of Salem. where he was postmaster
a number Of years, but now residing
at Parsons. Tucker county. is in the
city looking after business matters.
Mr.. Flanagan talks in an interest
ing way OF politics of the days, and
especially State politics. He has
long had an established reputation
as a safe political prognosticator and
in no instance in the past has his
election predictions failed to come
true.
For many years he foretold tina
successful elections of Captain B. b.
Dovener for congress, and, when
Senator Scott was out for reelection
for United States senator. Col. Flani-
gan many months before the legisla-
.ture met predicted that Scott would
have no opposition, whatever, though
at the time OF the prediction there
were other prominent men after the
place, and just as Col. Flanagan said,
Senator Scott was reelected without
opposition. Col. Flanagan also pre-
dicted the defeat of Governor Her
rick for reelection in Ohio by more
than twenty thousand votes, and was
right about It.
After allusion to these in particu-
lar Col. Flanagan in a short inter
view given to the Telegram stated
that the Hon. A. c. Scherr would be
nominated for governor in this State
with only slight opposition. He
said Tucker county is for him to a
man, republican and Democrat alike,
and that he would get every delegate
in the eastern part of the State. He
emphasized what he said on this sub
ject by again calling attention to the
fact that his election predictions had
always come true.

death TRAP ADDS
GOODMAN TO LIST
OF Its Many Victims of Killed and
Injured in the Last Few
Years Here.
HEAD CRUSHED TO JELLY
From FaH From Bridge Across In
terurban Line and He Dies
Instantly.

Another victim has been claimed
by "The Death Trap" on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad at Barnes's
Crossing in the West End where so
many persons have been killed and
hurt.
Granville G. Goodman. an aged
and well-to-do farmer of Jane Lew,
walked of the trestle there last Sat
urday night to his death. He fell
upon the track of the Fairmont &
Clarksburg interurban trolley line
below and was instantly killed. His
head was crushed to jelly, his
limbs We're broken and his body was
badly bruised and cut.
Mr.. Goodman, with his son, DR..
G. l.. Goodman, was walking to catch
a freight train beyond the trestle and
walked right into the open cut
which could not be discerned on ac-
couna of the darkness and the ab-
sence of any danger signals. The
two men were enroute from Wheel
ing to Buckhannon with thirteen
head of fine Hereford cattle which
they had entered in the Wheeling
fair and were going to enter in the
IAckhannon fair. They rode in the
ose of the train the cattle were
on, as is the custom, and when the
train came here over the Short Line
the cattle had to be transferred to
the West Virginia & Pittsburg
division.
While waiting for. the transfer,
Mr.. Goodman and his son went to
restaurant near the B. & o. passen-
ger station In Glen Elk and got a
lunch. They overstayed their time
and when they returned to the yards
they found that their train had pull
ed out. Some one told them that
the train usually stopped i'm the
western yards for a short time be-
fore taking the road to Weston and
that they could probably catch it by
walking down the yards. This they
did and it was while nearing the
train which was beyond the Barnes
Crossing trestle, that the senior
Goodman fell into the cut to his
death. His son was just behind him
and he slid down the embankment
to his fathers aid but found him ly-
ing on the trolley track dead
Clarksburg officers, including Cor
oner w. P. Camp. were Immediately
notified and they went to the scene
ehe accident. After viewing the
i mains and investigating the cir
cGmstances the coroner concluded
that an inquest would be Unnecessary
and gave the remains into the charge
of Dr.. Goodman.
The remains We're taken to an I'M
dertaking establishment where they
were prepared for burial and sun
day morning they were taken to
Jane Lew where the funeral and
burial took place Monday afternoon.
Mr. Goodman was sc years OF ago
and is survived by his son, DR.. C. L.
Goodman. He was prominent
farmer and citizen of Harrison coun-
ty with wide circle of friends and
acquaintances who are deeply griev-
ed over his tragic death.
