Some of clarksburg's pioneer citi-
zens are passing and others are on
the brink. Most of them were born
and reared contemporaneously and
have lived here all their lives. They
had many associations together and
all have lived useful lives and have
left and are leaving behind them
careers worthy Of emulation. 1t is
with painful regret the Telegram
sees them going one by one, but with
pride that 1T points to their careers.

Men who settled and helped to
build up Clarksburg at an early date
are passing. Much has come from
their efforts and they lived to real
ize it. Their places will not be cas-
lily filed but their work Will 60 on
forever. So, 1t is in human life. All
may enjoy for time the fruits of
their labors but the end of human
existence is inevitable, but the world
goes marching on. Others take mp
where, they leave on.

lola, La. Aprii-The sequel to the shooting of fRe white men and two negroes at Bunkie, La. last Sunday was the lynchiug of the negro Char lie Strauss near here Tuesday. \ par ty of masked men took him away from the deputies who had arrested him, and it is said that the deputies offered no resistance The negro was taken into the woods and hanged tO tree after which many shots were fired into his body lie made nc statement about the attempted rape with which he was charged. This was the second attempt in two days t9 lynch Strauss the first one on Sun. day night having resulted in the SC. rioHs WoundinS of five white men. Strauss had been taken from the Bun kie jail and escaped during the al most total darkness. while his captOrS were shooting promiscuously. IL was also alleged that negroes fired into the lynchiug party. The race feeling thus stirred up was made worse by the fact that previous to tho attempt cd lyaehiag two negroes had hoc1 shot at Bunkie while auarrcling with mem bers If their own race.

In the 19 years since the interstate commerce commission began the col lection of facts, about accidents, near ly 6.000 passengers, ofer lS,0o0 em- ployes and nearly 90,4l0 other persons hs<Ae been killed on American rail ways, and nearly l,000,000 more have been crippled or maimed, scalded or crushed, disfigured or inyalided; and we still make no protest. For q Coun- try that has pride in itself and it's progress" this seems to me humi,i- ating situation. observes Carl Snyder in Everybodys But the still more hu initiating fact is that conditions grow worse year by year. In 1905 il was twice as dangerous to travel on a rail way train or to work for a railway company in the United States as it was in 1895.

The Automobile and Better Roads.

Automobiling has given the good roads movement a great impetus. IL has brought into it men from the cities who were never far from a paved street until they began to travel around in their autos. They are now the backbone of the movement. The farmers have learned lot on the sub ject and they are joining hands with the men who once had their most cor dial enmity. They are not only With them on the road question. but they are even recognizing the fact that the automobile is very useful vehicle
 With good roads connecting the mar
 kets and the farms there is no reason why automobile transportation for the produce of the land may not soon fol
 low, says Pittsburg Leader. Auto
 trucks are ill use in all large cities for heavy hauling and if farmers have roads with bottoms to them they will soon begin to take advantage of that very efficient means of transportation

The Music of Man and Birds.

If the discovery of independent evo- iutions of human music all tending in the same direction indicates the exist ence of an ideal standard toward which progress leads, how much stronger is the evidence afforded by the fact that bird music is developing along the same lines? It seems far cry from a Beethoven symphony or a Wagnerian opera to the simple lay of q sparrow, but as We trace the course of the mighty river of music back to- ward it's source, the stream becomes narrower and narrower, until il is con tracted 10 a point where 1t is no broader than the little Till of bird music, says Henry Oldys in Harper's Magazine Nor does the decrease stop there for, remarkable as if may seem, there was a time when the music from which ours has been evolved was inferior to some of that which floats to our ears from the woods of spring. This is not 10 say merely that the songs of certain of the birds involve more intervals and greater variety, but that they are of a higher order judged by our own mod ern standards.

WIPED OUT
SEVERAL MEXICAN TOWNS oE TERLY DESTROYED BY
 EARTHQuAKE.

Mexico City, April.-Heayy earth quake shocks continued on the west coast fro Tuesday night until ! o'clock Wednesday morning Late news from the area of the greatest destruction in the recent earthquake shows that the devastation wrought was greater than at first supposed Besides the destruction of the cltle8 of Chilpancingo and Chilapa, 1t IS now reported that the city of Tixtla, be- tween the two cities above named and containing about the same popu- lation as Chilpancingo, was also lev eled to the ground.
 Messengers from the coast, who have reached Chilpancingo, say that the towns of Aputla and Ometepcc have been wiped off the earth, Ayutla is about 50 miles from Chilpancingo in the state of Guerrero and some 70 miles west of the port of Acapulco. It is one of the most historic towns in the republic. for it was here that plan of Ayutla" was conceived which caused the revolution, which finally made Mexico real republic and de yelOped the talents of young officer named Porfiro Diaz, destined later t9 be one of the greatest men in this country and in the world. The popu- lation of Ayutla is small and it is thought that the loss of life at this place will be insignificant. Ometepee is further south near the boundary OaXaca. IL is town of about 1000 and it is feared that the loss of life here may be heavier than at Ayutla.
 Up to Wednesday the total number of deaths reported for the district is 37, and the wounded 39, but in view of later reports which tend to greatly magnify the extent of the catastro- phe it is thought that these figures will fall far short of the real number of fatalities. These, it is feared, will never be accurately known. as many of the dead are of the poorer classes. living in small settlements.
 Reports from nearly all of the large cities in the southern part of the republic have now been received. and although many of these places fe.t the shock severely no loss of life has been reported and the property loss is insignificant.
 In this ely the telephone system. which was partly crippled, is now in complete working order News is yet anXiously awaited from the isthmus of Tchuantcpcc, where il is fearei the shock may haze wrought much dam age
