The Slang Phrase. Nothing Doing s.

Nothing doing!"
Is that slang? I thought it was
until last night, when 1 came upon
the words in Dickens "Dombey &
Son."
In Chapter w, old Sol Gills is ex-
planning to his nephew Walter why
the shop must be closed and the
business abandoned.
"You see, Walter" said he, Gin
truth this business is merely habit
with me- / am SO accustomed to the
habit that I could hardly live if l
relinquished it; but there's nothing
doing, nothing doing"
So, you see, the phrase had its
pathetic fitness half century ago,
and is not slang at all.--Watson's
Weekly Jeffersonian.

A Human Timer.

1t is claimed that an Indiana boy

fast or else get run down.-Cleve-

Big Lion Attacks Zoo Keeper.

James Coyle, a keeper in the Cen
trail Park Zoo, was badly injured by
Dewey, the big lion. Coyle was
cleaning out the cage of Rose, a
lioness, when he placed his right
hand on the bars of the adjoining
cage. Like a flash Dewey leaped
against the bars, grabbed Coyle's
hand and dragged his arm through
the bars. The lion then ripped the
keepers arm with his claws. Coyle
braced himself and succeeded in get
ting free of the lions grasp by the
time help arrived. Dewey had bitten
off his little finger at the second

on them for transportation. On the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Coal and Coke, in
particular. this complaint has been
deep seated and acute. The railroads
seem physically unable to supply the
shippers with cars They have placed
large orders from time to time for
more cars and have been lavish in
their promises to satisfy the demands
made on them but the situation is no
more improved then it was eight or
twelve months ago.
The truth of the matter is that the
development has exceeded the capacity
of the railroads to handle. West Vir-
ginia is a large production state, and
it requires constant vigilance on the
part of the railroads to supply suf-
fcient delivery. Time was when the
railroads in West Virginia could
promptly supply shippers but that was
when West Virginia was an industrial
infant Now it is grown a giant and
it calls for vastly increased motive
power and thousands of cars where it
used to require only dozens.

WAS GREAT YEAR.
THE STATES DEVELOPMENT HAS
BEEN MAGNIFICENT.
Coal Output for 1906 Was Nearly 49,.
100000 Tens-The Railroads Can't
Handle the Production.

West Virginia forged TO the front in
industrial development in 1906 at a
pace exceeding its fast gait in other
years since its marvellous development
period began. This was true of all
lines, with the possible exception of
the Gumber Of corporations chartered
by the secretary of state, as compared,
for instance to 1904, which was prob
ably the high water mark year for
that feature
Essentially a fuel state West Vir-
ginia's coal production " as immense,
How great will remain for the official
figures to disclose. The output was
limited solely to the capacity of the
railroads 20 furnish needed cars, but
at that 1906 will considerably over
come the record output Of $4,000, 900
for 1908
AT the beginning of the year 73 per
cent, of the state was covered with
timber, but the activity of numbering
made a material reduction. The bobm
in numbering has had its concominan;
in the agitation for the preservation of
the forests. This agitation is design
ed, however, more against the reckless
burning of woodlands, just as the agi-
tation to preserve the natural gas Is
designed as much TO stop the criminal
waste of gas by oil drillers as it is to
prohibit the pumping Of gas out OF the
state
In numbering the chief development
for the year was in Randolph county.
where many large tracts changed
hands, while in Nicholas, Pocahontas
and Webster, there was a great 10.
crease in the amount Of timber cut.
The coal strike that afflicted OHIO
Indiana, Pennsylvania and other coal
states was virtually of no effect in
West Virginia during the early sum
mer, when it paralyzed the coal trade
elsewhere. There was no trouble OF
consequence throughout the state dur
ing the year,
The outlook is just as bright for
continued good business in all lines OF
business activity and development. No
cloud is on the labor horizon and trade
conditions are in condition that
promises uninterrupted handicaIs 70,
an indefinite period
Absolutely the only complaint is di
rected against the railroads for their
failure to keep pace with the demands

HOODWINKED HIS PARENTS
EARL BUSCH TRIES TO EFFORT
MONEY FROM OLD FOLKS.
Sent Word to SpencersVille, Ohio,
That He Was in a Hospital Here
and Needed Some Funds.

and Needed Some Funds.
\ young man whose true name is
Earl Busch, but who passes in this
city under another name has lately
succeeded in getting himself and his
aged parents into considerable trouble
by an attempt to eXtort money from
the old folks under the plea of being
in a hospital as a result of serious in
iuries
Buschs home is near Spenceryille,
Allen county, Ohio, from which place
he decamped some time ago. He drift
ed to Martinsburg. where he secured
employment. and where he still re-
sides. Several weeks ago he caused
the report to be sent home that he
was in a hospital here suffering from
serious injuries, and asking that
money be sent to him Immediately
The young mans father wrote 10 the
hospital officials concerning the mat
ter. but the latter were unable to give
any information. no one answering the
description being a patient at that in.
stitution.
Finally the boys father wrote to the
police officials here, Requesting that
his son he located. and saying that if
me- had succeeded in getting into
trouble be would Dee compelled to bear
the consequences without help from
home The police department made
an investigation and located the young
man, who denied that his name was
Busch until he was told that a sum
of money had been sent here for a
young man OF that name. This iutor,
nation caused him to speedily change
his name to Busch, and his fearful and
vehement demand for the money
brought forth the whole story of his
attempt TO extort funds from his aged
father. When he found that no money
had been sent, and that the statement
was trick to trap him, he was eX-
ceediugly wroth, and left the station
in very angry frame of mind.

believed that the matter
should be closed without assuit. The
motion to accept the proposition was
passed. and MIR. Schill Immediately
handed his resignation to City Clerk
Letter and quilted the council cham
Der. Mr.. Schill had evidently deter
mined upon thise course before his ar
rived at the city hall, and had prepar-
ed his resignation for the contingency.
His action created some surprise on
the mart of the council, and on motion
the resignation was laid upon the table
to be taken up at the next regular
meeting.
Charter Question Up.
The question of a new or enlarged
charter for the city was brought up
by the action of Councilman Rentch,
who made a brief speech, in which
he stated that he was very much in
favor of such an amendment as would
permit the city limits to be extended
so as to embrace all that populous sec
ton now lying south and west of the
line, and (which would add
several hundred persons and much val
liable property to the city. He stated
that bill could be prepared anG pre-
setned tc the legislature along the line
suggested. and that this action on the
part of the council would be decided
step toward securing a better and
more up-to-date charter.
Other councilmen advocated the
same idea and Mayor Harrison there
upon appointed committee, consist
ing of Councilman poole, Rentch, Lit
tie. ZiH. Mcdowell and City Attorney
Lemen. to take charge of the matter
and determine just what steps should
be taken to get it in proper shape.
The committee will begin work imme-
diately. and when the matter is in
shape a special meeting of the council
will be called to hear the report
It is believed that the committee
will take up other features in addition
10 the enlargement of the city limits,
and that either an entirely new char,
ter will be proposed, or the present
instrument so enlarged and altered as
to be wider in its scope and give the
council greater powers.
