Strong Ticket for Council.

Splendid men were chosen at the
Republican primaries last night for
city council.
Charles s. Smiley in the first ward
is successful business man identi-
fed with large Industrial and COM
mercial interests here. He has been
eninently successful in his lines of
business and possesses the qualifica-
lions to look in the highest capable
manner after the interests of the
city.
) In the second ward DR.. Halterman
has been tried and not found want
ing. He is member of the pres
ent council and an earnest and sin
cere worker for the Lest welfare of
the city.
The third ward showed good
sense in renominating Charles M.
Ernst. He has served in the city
council with great credit and there
are none to dispute this fact.
The fourth acted quite judicious-
ly, too, in naming the Hon. Charles
M. Hart for council. His experience
in council and other public affairs,
together with his most excellent
business sagacity and his sincerity
and determination for the best ad-
ministration of city affairs, make
him an ideal candidate.
The fifth ward did itself equally
proud, when it named Truman J..
Lynch for council. He is one Of the
leading merchants of the city and a
gentleman of the highest standing in
the community. He is also SPLEEN
didly qualified to deal with the great
questions that will confront the city
council the next two years on ac-
count of the rapid growth Of the city.
Indeed, the councilmanic ticket is
strong one. None stronger could
be named. And 1t is ideal. The
people of Clarksburg will endorse
the action of naming it by electing
it at the polls by an overwhelming
majority.

The Murray & Mackey big roper

possible success in the many cities

the usual amount of interest in this
city. 1t is conceded to be the best
popular priced organization of the

greatest interest among the theatre
patrons of the city. The opening

The Fairmont West virginian con-
cluded the dog law was lost. So it
went in search of 1t and after finding
it makes the following comment:
"As a matter of fact the dog law
was passed twice, instead of falling
to pass at all. 1t passed the first
time with some discrepancies and
the governor vetoed it. 1t was later
revised and passed again. Under
the new law the dog is made per-
sonal property and the owner is held
responsible for any damage that he
may do to a neighbours sheep or
other belongings It is now up to
the owner of the dog 10 be sure that
he behaves himself, otherwise the
owner will have to stand for all dam
ages due to his misdeeds."

The Easter Hat Ghost.

While the masculine head OF the
household is devoting some consider
able portion of his spare time in re-
Elections and speculations upon the
local political situation, there is an
other thing that is worrying him,
too. Though he tries his best to
eVade 1t, horrible thought turks
somewhere in his mind and though
he may try as hard as he can to for
get 1t the notion, like a hobgoblin,
keeps bobbing uppermost every now
and then and gives him the shudders.
This boyle is the Easter hat question
and all will acknowledge that it is
frightening to the average man even
this far in advance for it affects him
in much more tender spot than the
other members of the household.
The grinning CHASTITY ghost OF the
ghoulish Easter hat shuts out the
Ginning horizon of his financial hopes,
says the Connellsville Courier, and
makes his pocketbook shrink until 1t
looks like thirty cents.
But no man, unless he is a brute,
can resist the appeal OF femininity
for that crowniAg glory Of the Easter
festival, and no man ever did with

A new Easter hat is essential to
the average woman's existence.

The Tattered fiaos.

There is IA curious reason for the or
der which the kaiser has just issued to
the effect that the colors Of regiments
are to be taken from their cases only
on the most important occasions. The
flags of the German army are In de-
plorable condition, even the new ones,
for the colonies Of regiments which
have had new colors given them Of
late years to replace the old ones which
went through the Prussian war
bated parading with brand new colors,
as If the regiment had never been in
action. They winked at the subalterns,
who slit the new flags and gave them
tae dilapidated air of the old colors
Eut the emperor was furious at this
imitation, and so he has had the sham
glories put back into the cases.

Special to THE POST.

Montrose, Aug. 2s.-Recently an or

ing about $1,000 acres of land near
Naturita and Norwood from the forest
reserve. This is land upon which there
is scarcely any timber and on the most
of it there is none at all
1t was formerly considered insult
able for agricultural purposes and tha1
was the general opinion concerning it
when it was segregated from the pub
lie domain and placed in the forest re
serve. But farm land is growing in
favor and demand in this section at
such a rapid rate that a movement WIS
started some time ago to convince the
forestry officers that this land was OF
more value for agricultural purposes
than it could ever be as forest re
serve.
The forestry officials took broad
view of the matter and after making Il
careful investigation on the ground the
land was ordered eliminated from the
forest reserve and thrown open to put
lie settlement and filing under the gov
ernment land laws. Proper advertise
ment was made and today was set rs
the first day on which filings would
be received. The result was that be
fore the Montrose land office closed this
evening almost the entire $1,000 acres
had been fled on by land seekers
anxious to secure home at the hands
of Uncle Sam.
