Lous BOOK AGENTS.
II Is Alleged Many School Boards
Have Seen the Victims Of
Imposition

According TO State superintendent
r. c. Miller. the school boards OF
many Of the districts in the state are
being vicumized BY unscrupuloue
book agents.
Superintendent Miller in his latest
bulletin SAYS.
1T seems that West Virginia has
recently been beset with a horde OF
book agents roaming around over the
state selling very inferior books for
school libraries at exorbitant prices.
These INSCRIPTIONS men have taken
advantage of the inreased interest in
the formation of school libraries and
have represented themselves as fur
nishing books that have recommended
for that purpose. Others have falsely
included the name OF the state SUI
perintendent among those who have
purchased cyclopedias aud other books
of reference from them. Once for all
let it be understood that | make no
recommendation of this kind what
ever except those given in the publ
cations Of this department and these
| make not in the interest of the pub
fishers but of the teachers, pupils and
patrons, all of whom need very much
such excellent books as those named
| in the Institute annual and Library
day program. Besides, the books l
| have suggested are sold at reasonable
prices and are suited to the needs OF
the pupils of the different grades,
while those furnished by these travel
ting impostors are unreasonable in
price and not suitable for school IL
braries
| i will pay twenty-five dollars for
Information that will lead to the con-
viction OF these so called agents who
! In any manner obtain money under
! false pretenses"

BUTTER AND EGGS.
Former Continues High, While Latter
Are Reasonable.

Butter in the local market continues
high in price, the best grades OF the
country product selling for 80 cents
per pound, with fair demand and a
limited supply. The creamery article
ranges trifie higher. Eggs remain at
IS cents per dozen, the lowest price
touched since early last fall. The sup
ply is heavy, and it is probable that
the price will not go higher before
Easter, unless extremely bad weather
should come. At Hagerstown eggs are
selling at 16 cents, and at Winchester
Is cents.

New Law Applies To Every Tele-
urapher in the State.


fs}.was the general impression among
i. I telegraph operators until a lew
days ago that the measure passing the
legislature at the session just adjourn
ed applied only to dispatchers. Copies
of the bill have been distributed among
tn operators and upon becoming &C
auainted with the real facts, that the
eight hour law will apply to every
railroad telegrapher in the state, the
men appear perfectly satisfied.
The only fear among the operators
now is that the railroad companies
will announce a cut in salaries COM
mensurate with the cutting down of
the hours from twelve to eight While
dispatchers have heretofore been COM
PEELED to work only eight hours, as a
general thing the offices were in charge
of two men only, a day and night OPP
orator, dividing the time. Where it is
necessary to have only one operator
on duty at time, the new law will re-
quire three men with turns OF eight
hours each, instead of two with
twelve hours each.
1t is generally known among rail-
road men that it is hardship, espec-
tally for night operator, to stay at
the key for twelve hours. They have
in consideration the fact that they are
the lowest paid men in railroad SER
vice, hence cut in wages will likely
bring on the same trouble that oc-
Cured in Maryland when the new
eight hour went into effect-a threat
ened strike throughout the state. The
new law takes effect the latetr part of
May.

NET DEATH At WHEELING
Eighteen Persons Perished in Fire
on Saturday.
DROWNED IN FLOOD DISTRICT
Leaped From Windows into the Water
TO Escape Death ny the Raging
Flames.

Wheeling. w Va. March lS.--- Eigh,
teen persons are known to have lost
their lives during the fire that occur.
ed here Saturday at the plant Of the
Warwick Pottery company, which Is
located In the flooded district.
Because OF the water surrounding
the burned district 1t was impossible
for the fire apparatus to reach the
scene The firemen pressed into the
service all the boats that could be Sc
cured and carried the hose into the
burning building by this means. They
did heroic work and not only fought
the fire, but assisted in rescuing many
persons.
All the police that could be spared
were rushed TO the scene to assist in
the work of rescue. The crew of a
boat that was moored across the river
from the building manned yawl and
rescued about 100 persons
The men were offered rewards and
big sums of money for the work they
had done, but they refused to accept
a cent. At times the big yawl was
filed to overlooking, and II was with
|dificulty that the rivermen prevented
the frantic Syrians from upsetting the
craft.
Screams for Help.
During the progress of the FIRE the
scene was most frightful. The screams
for help OF those in the building could
be heard as far as the steel bridge, a
mile north, where thousands OF per-
sons. unable to lend any assistance,
watched the blaze.
The work OF rescuing the bodies OF
those who were drowned has been GO
ing on all day The current has been
swift, and the impression Is that more
bodies will be recovered when the
food subsidies.
Had the drowned persons remained
in their homes none of them would
have met death. The buildings occu-
pied by the unfortunate victims were
not touched by the flames. The explo
sion that started thes fire is what terri
fed the people living In the vicinity.

No sooner had the report Of the ex-
