Saturday afternoon. The body, was
recovered early Monday morning.
Just how the boy was drowned has
not yet been ascertained, as there
are many conflicting reports as to
who his companions were. The cor
oner has withheld his report until
the matter can be thoroughly inyes-
tigated. The boy was very fond of
the iyer spending much of his time
there. It IS sad case, and the par
ents deserve the sympathy of every

HIGH GLASS HORSES.

Mr.. R. p. Liter took his racing
stock to the Gallipolis track last
week for work. The following will
show that he has high class of
horses:
Happy J trotted mile in a:ll;
Happy F, e:lo3; Martha McGrcgor,
go; Silver Jim, . ;2l! Blue Point
paced in e:l7; Ruth a:l7: Violet,
GAG. 1t will be more interesting to
know that Blue Point is just off the
stud season and has had but little
work, while Ruth is by the noted
stallion, Red viii, and is in her four
year old form, which is the year in
which horsemen consider horse
unfit for racing. Young Jim is by
Onward Silver, 2:53, who was sold
to Russian parties for great sum of
money. He is also four years old
and has been worked but little this
season. Mr.. Liter thinks in another
year of training he will go in e:lo
or better.
Violet is by Red VIII, out of the
great brood mare, Lora. She is 8
years old and gives promise of deyel-
oping into a very fast mare.
Happy J and happy F, alias The
Grey Ghosts are too well known
for comment.

TAKE A VACATION.

Take a vacation, Get away from
the hurly-burly rush of business cares
and ease your mind, your soul and
your body-slip the brakes of caution
and forget everything save how to
bea boy again. You ought to know
that no work in the world will ex-
haust one so quick as the mental
work that chafes, chafes away at the
mind until final nervous exhaustion
follows and-well, then its too late
to take vacation so far as any last
ing good is concerned. Think it
over little bit, Just for your own
benefit. ! knew man whose heart
was in the right place, whose love of
home and wife and kiddies was above
everything else in the world, but
who, through his love for them and
his pride in the success that had
come through year after year, but
kept at his work too long. His
doctor told him one day that unless
he released the tension on his mind
and took real vacation his life
would pay the penalty But for a
while he couldn't see it and finally
the man who stood as model of all
that was fine and true, who was to
his loved ones the best and dearest
daddy and the kindest husband in
the world, quietly went to sleep one
night and never awoke. He had
put off his vacation too long and 50
the kind that lasts forever and ever
and ever, came to him. Do you
want this kind; Think it over.

BASE BALL
POINT PLEASANT CEESRUTLAND, OHIO,
The WORST OF IT IN CLOSE GAME.

The Rutland, o., ball club played
the home team here last Sunday,
and the game from start to finish
was close and exciting. The visitors
were presented with oooooOooo
goose eggs, while our boys scored 5.
Rutland had the bases full several
times but Harrison was steady and
pulled out of the hole. The game
was replete with fine playing and at
no time did interest lag. The Rut-
land boys are good players, and al
though beaten in this game, they
have a chance to redeem themselves,
as We understand our boys will give
them return game on Labor Day
on their own grounds. A large num-
Der of people were present, the an
nouncement that the Rutland band
would be here bringing out more
than usual.
The lineup was as follows:
Point. Pleasant-S. Burdett Sd b.,
Park r. f., johnson c., Ingles lst b.,
Smith c. E, Dashner |. f., Varim
$. s., W. Burdett End b., Harrison p.
Rutland-R. Pierce srd b., Hysell
S. s., Fry c., Branagin End b., Camp
c. f., Myers p., Carter lst b., Stone
r. f., F. Pierce |. {.
If base ball players could only hear
some of the remarks and suggestions
made by fans that take so much in
terest in the plays, every game would
be skeenteen innings and many would
be called on account of darkness.
No matter how the team pulls of the
trick" some of the fans could sug-
sest better, slicker and more ap-
propriate way.

CHARTER GRANTED
PROPOSED LINE TO RUN FROM POINT
PLEASANT TO KANAWHA FALLS.

Charleston, W. Va, July sc.-An
electric railroad from Kanawha Falls
to Point Pleasant on the north side
of the Kanawha river and running
through Charleston has been started.
Surveys are now well under way and
a section about FIVE miles long be-
tween Charleston and the new indus
trial city of Dunbar will be built as
soon as surveys can be finished. The
road, which the directors state viii
be built as soon as possible, is said to
backed by unlimited capital and the
incorporators are well known to be
among the most successful and veal
thy business men in the southern end
of the state. Several northern cap
italists are said to also be interested
in the proposition. This was not de-
MED by Hon. Fred Paul Grosscup,
when asked in regard to outside cap
ital being also concerned in the en-
terprise. The charter, which was IS
sued several days ago but only re-
leased for publication yesterday after
noon at the Secretary of States of
fee, is issued to the Kanawha & Ohio
Valley Traction Company.
The road which these gentlemen
have planned to build will reach near
ly 100, 900 people in the Kanawha
Valley and make the rich farming
country along its route tributary to
Charleston and Point Pleasant.
As soon as surveys are completed
bids will be received for the construc-
ton work and the road pushed as
rapidly as possible to completion.
Yes, number of gentlemen have
made the start to build an electric
road to be known as the Kanawha &
Ohio Electric railroad. We have had
two corps of engineers at work for
some time under the direction of T.
J. Carmack, making necessary sur
yeys, maps and proflos, and We have
nearly completed the same from Ka-
nawha Falls to Charleston, and win
begin at Charleston Monday and go
noth,toward Point Pleasant. Work
will begin as soon as the engineers
work is completed and nght-of-way
secured.
'tThey have, taking the syndicate
as a whole, abundance of resources
to carry out their plans, and every
body will move. An English syndi-
cate is already planning to buid an
electric railway from Huntington to
Point Pleasant along the Ohio river.
Every business man and property
holder can see what it will do for
Point Pleasant.
