A SUGGESTIONS
TO MERCHANTS RELATIVE Tc
CLOSING ON NEXT THURS
DAY AFTERNOON.

The usual custom OF Fairmont mer-
chants Is to close their stores on May
30. but this year Decoration Day falls
on Saturday. hence 1t seems iaexpe-
dient from many points OF view TO-.
them to close the stores on that day.
1nasmuch, then. as the stores will
probably not be closed on Saturday.
May 30th. how would 1t do for tho
merchants to close the stores on
Thursday afternoon. May 2sth, in time
to let the clerks attend the ball game
between the Cincinnati Nationals and
the Fairmont team? This is made sim.
ply as a suggestion, but 1t seems a
practical one and we. should like fo-
the marchants to take it under con-
sideration.

VAUDEVILLE
Electric Theater
Presenting Good Cd
Attractions

q y. * a..
Everybody seems to be hungry for
vaudeville as evidenced by the large
crowds that have thronsed the Elcc-
trio Theater this week. Some place
to go! Something to see! Something
for light amusement after the days
work Is done! That Is the demand
OF human nature and the Electric
Theater under the new management
has caught the drift OF sentiment and
will continue to furnish the people
with the best attractions that money
will buy in the vaudeville line.
Three performances are given each
evening beginning at Z. and 9 o'clock
with matinees at 8 p. m. on Wednes-
days and Saturdays.
In addition to the vaudeville fea-
lures the usual moving pictures arc
shown. with illustrated songs by Chas.
Ingram. An entire change of the yau-
deville programme Is made twice a
week on Mondays and Thursdays. thu
pictures being changed three times
a week.
The Electric Theater has always ca
tered to. the best class of people AMI
excellent order has always charac-
terized this popular amusement place.
The only Inconvenience that one evtr
suffers is at times. and In some cases
most too frequently. when the house
Is overly crowded and seats or even
standing room cannot be provided for
all. but the management at all times
exerts itself to provide the best of
accommodations and the ladies' are al
ways especially we'll cared for. The
Electric Theater has brought a COOL
programme for entertaining AMI
amusing its patrons together that is
equal to many 90 and soc shows, AMI
the price OF admission only being 10c
places the enjoyment of It's splendid
service within the reach OF all class
es of people.
Tonight beginning at o'clock an
unusually strong bill will be put on
by the "Four. Franks" strictly high
class vaudeville tenn in grand ope-
m sketch that has proved hit where
ever seen. This team will remain tho
rest of the week.

lIcan candidates for governor. which
shows that at the present time Swish.,

that have yet to, vote are reported to
show a preference for Auditor. Scher-.
and the chances are that he will get l
majority OF their delegates. In com
piling the table below the claims OF
neither candidate are accepted as au-;
thoritative. A number Of counties ara
claimed in whole or in part by both.

General Manager
Natson Gives
Out News.

Positive assurance was given out
this morning by Mr. Geo. T. Watson.
general manager OF the F. & c. Trac-
tlon Company that they would ex-
tend their lines down Parks avenue
dust Ias soon as the material could be
gotten together and arrangements
made to do the work. For several
day s, Mr.. j. n. Jacobs. secretary OF the
Board OF Trade. has been adjusting
the differences between the property
/ owners along Parks avenue and the
traction company and last night he
completed this work very satisfactorily
to all parties concerned. aIr. Watson
promises to push this work right
through and intends to have this con-
4struction done so us to Inconvenience
the travelling public over this busy
thoroughfare just as little as possible.
Just as soon as the new bridge is
completed. the. traction company will
extend Its line into the Firsa ward.
When the bridge is completed and
street cars reach into the Industrial
ECompany property, 1t will not be long
until there will be enough factories
located on that side Of the river to
make the First ward one OF the busiest
wards in the city. Fairmont has much
to encourage, the people at this time.
The Warrington street car line is
Z pushing along to completion. the B. G
70. extending It's line into the First
ward J. the Marion County Fair Asso-
EcIation is being put on A. solid basis.
and under the management of Mr.. A.
ID Simon 1t will be made one of the
good substantial companies that Folr-
mont and Marion county proper will
I always be proud of. All the coal COM
Bpanies are arranging for a good bust.
mess for the next six months. which
means the. putting to work OF all the
idle B. & o. men In this city.
10 The taking over OF the Federal Coal
Company by Boston capitalists has
done much to restore confidence in the
: quality OF Marion county coal and to
again call attention to the fact that of
Ta11 the great enterprises today In West
Virginia. the coal business is the
safest and most permanent. The great
sundeveloped low sulphur fields that
are within a radius Of twenty miles
of Fairmont gurantees the building of
i another railroad into this section
within the next two or three years.
aFnirmont today stands where she has
i for years, destined to soon be the
greatest street car center in the heart
of the greatest coal development and
T the hub of more industrial plants than
q any city in this section OF West Vir-
ginia. We are glad to give our read
$ers today the assuring news of the ex-
tension of traction companies lines In.
ito First ward at once.

Ohio County.

I.
In some claims sent out by Auditor
Scherr's friends. the So votes of Ohio
county are given to him. This Is, OF
course, without authority. as no action
OF any kind has been taken that coulI
be construed us assuring MIR. Scherr
of Ohio county's support. There is un.
doubtedly more sentiment for Scherr
in Ohio county than there is for Mr..
Swisher's but at the present time the
disposition Is generally to await de-
velopment, SO far as this county Is
concerned. The solid vote OF Ohio
county. 1t will be seen. however, will
give the auditor within OF a score as
many votes as the Secretary OF State.
OF the counties yet to vote Preston.
Wood, Richie. Randolph and Lewis
are the largest. All Of these are con-
fidently claimed by the Scherr people.
II their expectations are met they will
get 30 of the 104 delegates from thess
counties. which will give the auditor
commanding lead. Hancock.s seven
votes and the eight OF Peasants are
also counted sure for Scherr. In the
above table the vote OF Roane county
is given to scherr, but this Is con-
tested by the swisher people. Dod-
bridge Is given to swisher but scherr.
claims one-half Of the delegation. In
Mason both candidates. claim 16 votes,
and In the table above the vote; is.
split evenly. 5s,sIi

and as the king entered the room he
extended his hand to the stalwart
young man boSTing before him and
warmly elasped him in a momentary
embrace. lie had taken wonderful
fancy to this energetic official and
welcomed his comings as he did no
other prince of the realm. There was
fascination about the strong per
sonality of the young man which held
the man of maturer years. It took the
king back to the days Of full strength
Of his own young manhood and made
him feel again in the push and en-
ergy and keen ability of Jereboam
the thrill Of the old ambition for the
accomplishment Of great enterprises.
From the moment that he had first
discovered the young man at Zereda
he had realized that he had gained a
master hand which would make pos
sible the carrying out Of some plans
he had conceived for the beautifying
and strengthening of Jerusalem. And
so he had eagerly admitted Jereboam
to his condolences and finally had com
mitted to his hands the work Of build
ing the beautiful Milo and repairing
the difficult breaches of the royal
city.
Thus brought into almost daily con
tact with the king the acquaintance
had grown until strong intimacy
existed between the two. The at
tendants IN the palace soon learned
that of all the kings guests Jereboan
was the most welcome and understood
that the king was never too busy to re
ceive him. For this reason on thlI
morning on which our story begins
they had hastened OF to the apart
ments Of the king in response to ths
request Of Jereboam. who had pre-
sented himself at so unusually earls
an hour and had asked for the king
And IN response 70 the kings warm
cordial greeting. Jereboam said:
