The Midway.

Among the many attractions on the
Midway easily the feature shows are
those controlled by L. B. Walker, ia
miliarly known as Diamond Lew, so
called from the fact mat he has that
in his mouth which will keep the wolf
away from the door for lnany a day.
His teeth not only being Of solid gold,
but also being studded with diamonds.
His principal attraction this ycaf is
his big musical extravaganza COM
pany, consisting of II clever singing
and dancing girls, and four clever
comedians, men that thoroughly un-
derstand the art of producing clean,
refreshing comedy. This principal at
traction of this show is the buck and
wing dancing of Tiny Davis, who is
backed by Richard *. Fox of the New
York Police Gazette
A new feature this year, also con-
trollcd by Mr. Walker, and ably man
aged by w. II. Wolfe. is the big Igor
rctcs village or Filipino head hunters,
direct from the jamestown Exposition,
where they were seen by thousands
of people.
This is really legitimate attraction
AMI Mr.. Wolfe is under bond to the
United states government for their
safe return to the Philippines.
The show which exhibited Wild Ma
mic, the Yucatan wonder, who "eats
raw meat and drinks pure blood. was
crowded to the doors all day and cor
tainly looked to be as wild as the
barker announce.

NEW SANITARY IDEA
Parafiine Oil and Water For Street
Sprinkiing,
EXPERIMENT MADE ON KING ST
New Road Oil Manufactured by the
American horticultural pistrihut.
ing Co, This CITY.

A new experiment In the line OF
street sprinkflng was tried here on
Wednesday evening on West King
street from Winchester avenue to the
postofiice, which accounts for the PEI
culiar oily appearance of the street
that was observed early this morning
The liquid consists Of = new paraf~
fine oil mixed with water, that is. one
part oil to ten parts OF water.
This new road oil, as II is caHeu.
was made by the American Horticuk-
tural Distributing Co.. this city. after
formula prepared by DR.. Paul
Karutz. the accomplished chemist of
the company The OIL as prepared for
street sprinkiing only. n FUSED without
asphalt. the latter being used With the
parafilne oil more especilly In sprink~
ling park driveways. houleyards. ETC.
The street sprinkler was filled with
the the road oil compound and, as
stated, was given a trial here We'd
nesday evening, the street being
sprinlxled over three successive times.
While the chemical preparation
gives the streets an oily appearances. Il
IL neither offensive TO the eye or to
the olfactory nerves. On the other
hand, as a dust leveler 1t is most ef-.
fectiye and lasting II Is a we'll
known fact that to keep down the
dust with wa.er alone, street has to
be sprinkled every few hours in hot
dry weather, while this new road oil,
the thing would only have to be done
orce week.
The most important factor In the
Iaraffine road oil, however, Is that Of
sanitation. because by It's chemical acs-
fion disease Terms on the street ars
destroyed. II Is, OF course. soue
what more expensive than ordinary
water for street sprinkIinS purposes,
but far more effective from every
point Of view.
But whether the idea Is practicable
or not. as applied here, remains to
be more full demonstrated than q
first experiment would seem to war
rant.

NEW TROLLEY PROJECT
Promoters Tired Of Waiting on
Williamsport Bridge.
BIG CIRCUIT LINE PROPOSED
Road viii Start at Shepherdstown
and Traverse Berkeley and JEFF
ferson Counties.

Last fall when people were talking
about the bridge that was to be built
across the Potomac river at Williams
port, it was said, at least on this side
of the river, that one of the results
flowing from the completion of that
project would be the ultimate con-
struction of a trolley road from Will
Transport to Martinsburg. But as
there is nothing doing on the bridge
proposition on the Maryland side of
the river except wind, and with the
chances largely in favor of the bridge
never being built by the present pro-
motors, the capitalists behind the
trolley movement cast about for an
other course to Martinsburg. This is
from Shepherdstown.
The plan comprehends cir
cult and is almost gigantic in
proportions. Starting, say. at Shep-
herdstown the trolley line is to
run to MarHinsburg, thence through
the apple belt to Winchester and
thence back to the river by way oil
Charles Town. The intention is to
ultimately extend the line to Washing
ton and connect with the recently
comp 'eted line from Baltimore.
This, briefly, is the scope OF the
project as outlined to an Evening
World reporter today by Mr.. F. Yer
non Aler, attorney for the capitalists
who are behind the movement. They
are New York, Pittsburg and York
Pa. men and are the same capitalists
whom Mr.. Aler has represented fol
the past year.
The chief engineer in the employ o
these men has been here and over ths
proposed route and has approved II
His report has been completed in de
tail
AS limited above the line will ira
verse a large area of territory and l
will become necessary for the people
along the lime to freely grant right
of way, as they would be vastly mor'
benefited than otherwise by the con
struction of the road, designed, as j
win be to carry both people ant
freight.

The circuit court convened this

Faulkner presiding. Only one case
was tried today, that OF the state
against Miffiin Pyle, of Martlnsburg,

Iold fair grounds last August.
The trial attracted large crowd to
the court house this morning.
About twelve witnesses testified, az
ter wh'c CHI the case went to the jury
without any evidence being offrred for
the defense and without argument on
either side.
Before the case went to the jury
counsel for the defense made motion
to exclude the evidence on the ground
that the defendant was indicted IA
being the principal. whereas the evil
dence showed that he was not present
when the crime was committed and.
therefore. could only have been an &C
cessory before the fact. Judge Faux
ner overriiled the motion and tine case
went to the jury at 12:45 o'clock,
Pyle was indicted for this offense at
the January term of court. but the
case was continued.
AT 2:a0 o'clock this afternoon the
jury, Mr.. A. X. Kyner, foreman.
brought In verdict of not guilty as
charged in the indictment. Pyle then
entered bail in the sum OF $500 to an
swer to the charge OF being an acces-
sorry to the crime OF arson.

WATER cREss OUTPUT
Growth Unusually Large and Quantity
Iponense

Mr.. S. s. Cline, of Bunker Hill,
who is an extensive dealer in water
cress, reports business not financial
success. Not that there is scarcity
in the cress yield, but just the re-
verse. The claim he makes is to the
effect that the winter has been SO
open and comparatively warm, that
the plant has grown far beyond the
usual size, and is so thickly set, that
wherever cress is grown, there is such
an abundance that it has glutted the
market AMI prices have slumped to
such extsnt that there is no money IN
cress for the shipper. Nevertheless,
he is boxing and shipping it in large
quantities.

DELEGATES BACK HOME
Enthusiastic Over Results Of Con-
vention at Parkersburg.

The Berkeley county delegates "a
the convention at Parkersburg ar
rived home this morning at 1880 -
clock. little tired of course, but
stu happy over the results attained
The delegates were Postmaster Alex
Clohan, Mr.. George NJ, Bowers and
Mr.. Charles P. Light, this city; Mr.
Charles w. Stuckey. Jones Spring
and Mr.. A. w. Robinson, Shanghai.
Mr. Clohan told an Evening World
reporter today that 1t was the biggest
convention OF the kind ever held In
the state OF West Virginia and that
too, in face of the fact that there
were no railroad passes issued to del
egates this year.
Harmony and enthusiasm to the ut
most degree, said Mr. Clohan, morked
the deliberations Of the convention
while outside of it the delegates fra
ternized like school boys and ev
erybody was good fellow.
What Berkeley county lacked in
numbers 1t more than made UP in In
fiuence for the reason that where
Berkeley led, the balance of the eight
hundred delegates cheerfully follow
ed. Another matter for self-congrat
ulation is that the Berkeley delegates
were on the side of the winner every
time.

Iowa City, Aug. 22.-The annual re-
port of the athletic board of control
Of the State University of Iowa at
Iowa City, has been issued, showing
the excess of the resources over Ia
bilties, to have increased from ST.
349.43 to s3,2S5.S0, or $936.37, during
the past year. This Is not the only
sign of the excellent condition of ath-
letics at the university, as an over
draft present in the treasury on July
/. 1907, of $72S.O7 has been entirely
paid and a cash balance retained from
the receipts of the past year, of $351.4O.
In the statement of resources OF the
Athletic union, the cash resource is
placed at $2,451.40, and the inventory at
S7S5. Incidentals make up the re-
mainder of the amount.
Foot ball. as usual, was the only
money making sport of the past year.
A net gain or foot ball is recorded, OF
s1.5SO.22. The Wisconsin game, played
at Iowa City, brought s2.036.O1 into
the treasury, while the receipts OF the
Ames game at the state college were
only a. few dollars short-$2, 01O.27. The
gate receipts of the Illinois game were
