The new council was called TO or
der by Mayor Rodgers and the fol-
lowing new aldermen we're present:
Elliott, Moorcs, Mlllard, Eldridge
and Mofitt.
Alderman Jacobs remained at his
post pro ten, as his successor had
not been duly Qualified.
The legal question arose whether
an alderman should DO allowed to
hold his seat after the expiration OF
his ofice. The mayor stated that
there was nothing in the charter
that covered that point, but It was
the custom for the members Of all
legislative bodies to hold offlce until
their successors were elected and
duly qualified. Aldermen Jacobs
said he did not wish 10 force his

ter being assured that his presence
was a source of pleasure 10 the city
lawmakers he decided to remain.
The mayor, In a lengthy and
strong article, read h. proclamation

Our American Pride.

Every true American must thrill
with pride as he reads of the splendid
showing made by our navy when six
teen of its best vessels started on their
long cruise recently. Those ships are
products of American skill and man
ned by American sailors and gunners.
Every true American should also take
great pride in pointing to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as the leading remedy
for curing ailments of the stomach,
liver and kidneys. 1t is the product
of American skill, and for "a years
has been proving its ability to cure
and prevent poor appetite, dyspepsia,
indigestion, b~iliousness, kidney ills,
~costiveness, colds, grippe and malaria.
1t is also an excellent spring medi-
cine n blood purifier, and is able -
strengthen and build up the entire
system. We urge you to try a bottle
without delay.

ENTHUSIASM
OF CHILDREN
TWO HUNDRED PRESENT TO
HEAR COLONEL CRAWFORD
RELATE ABOUT INDIANS.
Editor of Saratoga Sun and Old Resi-.
dent OF This City Present at story
Hour, With Many Grown-UPs in
the Audience, and Held All Spell
bound With Pretty Stories.
BY w. s. Inqham.

Somewhere in every child, and in
girls no whit less than in their broth
ers, there is a chord which responds
readily to the thrill Of adventure AMI
daring; there Is also always present
in the cnild's makeup a ready sym
pathy with and understand of n
mails and a love of the ways of nature
which the real story teller knows how
to take advantage of and turn to a
good account.
Apt at Pleasing Children.
Colonel j. f. Crawford of Saratoga
on Saturday, at the STORY hour" OF
the Carnegie library, showed that he
is a past master in the art of thorough
ly pleasing children, and at the same
time ~arousing their sympathetic IN
stincts and strengthening their feeling
for the love of nature. In the course
of an hour ne told d number of stories
to a most attentive audience of 200
children and grown-ups and not onco
did the interest of a single one in the
room flag.
Thrilling Indian story.
Colonel Crawford started out with
a most vivid description of the predic-
ament of a party of adventurous hunt
ers and trappers upon the Laramie
plains, when surrounded by Indians.
who, while not as yet hostile, were en-.
%deavoring TO steal their horses and wa
CONS, and of the fortunate appearance
Of General Misner with fifteen hundred
troops coming to build the fort known
later as Fort Sanders. Jelm and
Smith and the Indians, Little Big Man
and Captain Jack, were told of m
of how the celebrated little Indian,
Spotted Tail, obtained his name.
Saved Baby Boys Life.
The story of a little Indian pa
-poose and his pretty silver tailed PONY
came next; of how the party of Indians
to which the papoose belonged were
starving to death, being walled in BIZ
tractless miles of snow; how the faith
err of Little Papoose offered the pretty
pony to a white man for his great iron
gray horse; how the offer was accept
ed and the Indian father rode forty
miles and back Upon the great horse,
eighty miles through awful snow drifts,
coming back with fifty pounds of flour
Just in time to save the life of Littl"
Papoose, and, finally, of how the sill
ver-tailed pony came to draw a bao7
carriage in the parks of Buffalo, N. Y
Standing Vote of Thanks.

find 1t wholly unfounded in fact. We
find that the influence of the secfe.
tary, wherever exercised, HAS BEEN
ALTOGETHER WHOLESOME AND
BENEFICIAL; that no attempt Is
made by said secretary to usurp
the powers of any other officer of the
university and that no undue influ'
ence is sought TO be exerted by her
in the various departments OF the
university. From the evidence pre-
scented to the commission, it appears
that the secretary has at all times had
the interests of the institution at
heart, and has constantly and zeal
ously labored for the promotion aud
upbuilding of the university. Her Ia
bors have been conscientious and free
from any purpose to wrongfully inter
fere in any department OF the univer-
sity. The most that can be said, If
anything, is that the secretary has
been burdened with heavy responsi-
bilities, not sought by her, and that
she has in a measure been overhead
GUS in the faithful discharge of her
duties"
While pretending that they stand
squarely by the report OF this com
mission, there are some who have by
covert insinuation and cowardly in
uendo attempted to discredit it in so
far as it refers to the secretary of the
board of trustees. The position is

good Judgment, a knowledge of the
law and courtesy, all of which are
combined in DR.. Hebard. Her case
has been tried in open court and she
has not been found wanting. Her
books have been audited from time
to time by the state examiner and
found neat and correct. Her financial
accounts have never been found
wrong to the extent of a single cent.
1t is mighty important to the board
of trustees that they should have an
accounting officer who can be depend
ed upon at all times-one who has
taken the trouble to learn the law
and to see that 1t is properly carried
out. The trustees cannot be on duty
all the time and they must have a
secretary upon whom they can thor
oughly rely. They want to know that
when they come to the meetings OF
the board they can rest assured thai
the money has been spent in accord
with the law and that the proper
vouchers have been secured thereto.
So far as The Republican is con
cerned, it is at a loss to know What
the Boomerang and the Cheyenne
Leader hope to accomplish ~ heap
ing insult upon insult upon ner de-
fenseless shoulders. No man with n
single attribute of a gentleman would
resort to sue scurrilous means to
further contemplate political ends.
We have confidence enough in the
love of fair play and the sense of jus
tice possessed by the people of this
state to believe that they will utterly
condemn these attacks upon this thor
oughly capable, excellent officer of the
board

for the anniversary dance to

provide no printed programs, but will

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1908-10-26
Tho BOND Issue.

Drought experience and the dan
gers attendant, the Telegram believes
{ have put the people of Clarksburg in
an anxious mood for better water SER
vice. The river dam this year showed
the wisdom of it's construction, but
has proved itself inadequate to cope
with emergency situations. and yet
with an improved water works sys-
tenn, it will not be useless but VIII
fill its part in the proposed new sys-
TEN, il the movement to bond the city
carries.
The city council has passed an or
dinanCe to its second reading, drafted
carefully by the Board of Trade, and
it will doubtless pass It's final read
ing and the mayor Will issue his
proclamation for a special election
to vote on the question.
The question will then come up be-
fore the people to be voted upon
either for ratification or rejection.
The fate OF better water works will
be decided at the polls. The Tele"
gram believes and hopes for the vel
fare of the city and the people that
the latter will .ratify the ordinance
by their votes, thus showing that
they are willing, even eager. that
there shall be proper protection to
and modern water facilities
