Another record breaking crowd
was on hand at the Weiland theatre

Hupp had challenged Ford to es-
cape from his irons had received wide

further increase the interest, but the
deputy had gotten cold feet and did
not appear. Ford Is anxious to have
a try at Hupps cuffs and offers to

does not escape from them also make

reIeSrnm.s Industrial Edition.

Business houses and all industrial
and commercial concerns, as we'll as
all mercantile interests, viii do vel!
to keep in mind the industrial
edition of the Daily Telegram, which
VIII be issued October i.
The character OF this special edi-
ton will be of the highest, setting
forth the natural and artificial adj
vantages OF this community. includ-
ing nefghboring sections, and will ne
wide in scope in the presentation of
all the many features Of a city Of
such remarkable growth as Clarks-
burg, features that must appeal to
outside capital and labor and which
will result in the expansion of the
development of the community.
The kilograms special editor for
this edition is experienced and
capable. having attained highest
success in such work, and is meet
ing with heartiest cooperation,
urge number of interests and bust
nesses here having handsomely en-
listed in this movement to advance
the progress of Clarksburg and to
procure additional industry and
commerce.
1t is the earnest desire that all
may be represented in this valuable
edition of the Telegram and the
management here cordially extends
to those who are not yet identified
with the movement to join with us
in this commendable and far-reach-
ing beneficial enterprise.
There are a few manufacturing
concerns, whose financial interests
are not locally promoted except i'll
the matter of good sites and cheap
fuel. These are important factors
inn our development, however, and,
for the purpose of accomplishing a
great achievement for Clarksburg in
publishing to the world the actual
progressive situation here, they
should be included in this special
edition Should they not all see
their way clear to cooperate finan-
ciaiiy in exploiting the progress of
the city, the board of trade might
well come to their assistance and
cooperate with the Telegram in de-
voting 10 these the attention neces-
sary to make the presentation of
Clarksburg complete. To this end
the Telegram is quite willing to CO.
operate wit hthe board and to lend
its influence and support with the
same generosity as has characterized
its course, since the board of trade
was organized.

NIGHT SCHOOL.

1t is we'll known that the great OBJ
stacle met by those who wish to
rise in business is their lack of edu-
cation. There are opportunities for
promotion constantly occurring n
leading establishments which might
be filled by present employees, If they
were competent. 1t is possible for
such persons to retain their present
positions and at the same time gain
a thorough and complete business
education by evening study. The
night sessions are from Sept TO
May l. The courses of study taken
up in the night schol are as follows;
Business, Shorthand. Typewriting

The court house for a long while
began to be stamped with the aspect
of desolation and decay, and this
paper touched it up for quite awhile,
until it came forth frightened like Z
fresh blossoming flower. and then
the Telegram threw praises around
the county court for the rejuvena-
tion.
During the recent campaign the
Telegram pledged that Mayor Grille
would rid the city of certain vices
and other unlawful things, and, now
that he has made good in several
ways, this paper gives him credit
and takes pride in the fact that it's
promises have been fulfilled thus far,
and assures the public, whose friend
it has ever aimed to be in a most
conscientious and impartial manner
that these promises will be fully met
at the end of the present council
manic year. if it's influence and pres
sure count.
This paper was in favor of certain
paving and general improvements on
the city streets, for which the con
tract has now been let, and, 1t wish
es now after having done all this
service for the, public, to kindly ad-
monish. rather than point out per-
emptorily the proper road for the
council to take, by saying it is the

faulty material is used, that the
foundation work is uniform and sub
stantial, and that the contract be
carried out to the full letter.

How She Rests.

In Germantown there dwells a fam
lily Of ancient lineage which for years
every summer has employed a colored
woman named Liza as a cook while the
family was at the shore. Sons and
daughters have married and migrated
reared children and added to the
branches Of an already luXuriant fam
lily tree. On one occasion number OF
these siguifed a desire to assemble
again under the old roof. The old lady
who now is the head OF the family
seeing that special help was necessary
sent for Liza to come and help cook the
dinner. Liza's answer was brief and
dignihed. DE winter am my vaca.

Not improbable That Mine Victims
Will Number Five Hundred.

Nos. 6 and of the Fairmont Coal
company are giving up the victims of
last Fridays explosion. When today's
force of rescuers went on duty there
had been a total OF 225 bodies taken
out, most of which have been buried
Others we're brought out in groups of
two and three at short intervals.
A number of the bodies brought out
did not bear the brass checks used in
the company's system of records and
accounts of a majority OF its employees,
thus substantiating the statements
that a large number of men and boys
in the mines were not included in the
checking rolls on which estimates Of
the dead were largely based. There is
reason to believe today that the num-
Der will not fall far short of 500. An
opening between the two mines has
been completed, and it is believed that
within forty-eight hours all the bodies
to be found will have been taken to
the morgue.
