MEDICINE MEN
HAVING TROUBLE

There is merry war in the house
and senate between the osteopaths
and the allopaths as to who knows
best how to beat the undertaken,
says the Charleston Gazette.
In the house the osetopaths seem
to have the best of 1t, and the speak
er has appointed committee that is
said to be favorably inclined to
licensing osteopaths in this, as in
other states.
In the senate all is different. DR..
Hicks is chairman OF the committee
on medicine and sanitation and rub
no more" is the dope.
The Doctor thinks that people who
claim to rub out scarlet fever and
smallpox will bear little watching.
Meantime the bonesetters appeal to
hundreds of patients saved from the
grim reaper by their skill.
ITO rub or not to rub" that's the
rub with the legislature.

BOARD OF TRADE
DISCUSSES BONDS
hut No Bill Has Been Framed Yet
Another Meeting Tomor-
row Night.

The directors Of the Board OF
Trade held meeting at the Waldo
last night, The object Of the meet
ing was to discuss the matter Of
framing bill to be presented to the
Legislature for adoption, empower
ing Clarksburg to hold an elemtion
for the purpose Of voting ON an issue
of bonds for water works improve
ments. Definite action was not ia
ken, however. as the directors found
the subject one needing great deal
OF discussion and s consideration.
Several members Of the city coun-
ell attended the meeting and took
part in the discussion. 1t was de-
cided to hold another meeting Sat-
urday night. All the members OF
the council and the mayor will be
invited to attend the meeting and
take part in framing bill.
1t seems to be the sense of some Of
the members of the council that a
certain amount of paving should be
included in the measure, and the
city engineer will furnish estimates
with that end in view.
