1t Reaches TYLER.

Wheeling saloonists are reforming.
They are getting rid OF the wicked
slot machines and other gambling
devices as fast as possible. They
say that they propose to he good
hereafter and all that they ask is to
he let alone in the sale of honest
booze. When will this reform strike
the saloons of Sistersvllle? For a
number of years the slot machines
have been allowed to run unmolest-
ed in the Sistersville saloons and to
reap the harvest from unbaked boys
and grown men alike.-Tyler County

sutherland,s Candidacy.

Senator Howard sutherland's can
didacy for the presidency of the state
senate Is being received in many sec
tIons OF the State with favor SEN
ator Sutherland is able and he Is
widely known in the State. All who
know him personally or by reputa-
ton agree with what the Wheeling
Intelligencer says of him as follows:
Mr. Sutherland is one of the new
senator's. hut he Is not new man
in the business and political life of
the state. Few men, in fact. have
wider acquaintance among the pub
lie men, or are more familiar with
business and political conditions. il
would not be fair to say that any
public interest would suffer from the
selection of such man as Mr.. Suth-
erland to this important Office. On
the contrary, he would undoubtedly
make very efficient and satisfactory
presiding officer

JOINT AGREEMENT FOR OPER.

RIPARIA INCIDENT.

New interest in the controversy
railroad companies was reached to-
day when Col J. B. Eddy, head man
in the o. r. 4 N. right of way de-
partment, reached the city en- route
to the prairie country 1t is definite
l.. stated today that surveying and
location parties have been operating
in the upper country for the past
several weeks, and the open clash at
Riparia between the rival lines has
added strength to the rumor that the
o X. e. N. company would invade
the prairie country and maintain
complete control OF the river road to
Riparia.
The first surveying party was dis
covered on Craig mountain between
Forest and Waha about two weeks
ago, and it Is now suggested this
party is in the employ of the Harri-
man road, and plans have been per
fected for tapping the tonnage pro-
ducing sections of the upper coun-
try The clash at Riparia Is believed
tC be the beginning Of serious trou-
BILE between the two roads and 1t Is
generally conceded the Hartman
road has the trump card.
The Northern Pacific precipitatef
the trouble by declining to enter into
the joint operation plans and delay
ing the completion OF the Grange
willie line until the enormous wheat
tonnage has been moved by the CON
struction department. The new line
of the Northern Pacific from Pasco
