DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.

Mr.. L. V. Somerville and Miss
Mary Work narrowly escaped very
serious accident Sunday evening.
While driving rapidly toward town,
the horse became frightened, near
Lone Oak cemetery, at some yOungs-
tiers perched on fence, and in at
tempting to prevent the animal from
whirling to go back buggy overturned,
the occupants dashed to the ground,
and were most fortunate in getting
off with some rather severe bruises.
DR.. McEIfresh, happening along,
conveyed Miss Work to her home
Later, Mr.. Someryille, with assist

IDEAL EASTER WEATHER.

The warm, bright Easter sunshine
brought out an unusually large num-
Der of Sunday school children. 1t
was noticeable fact that the major
ity of these (even the tiniest toddles)
were attractivelv bedecked with a
yellow Easter flower" Beautiful,
happy thought An Easter inspira-
ton in itself. For, doubtless, the
golden glow of those early spring
blossoms (of which each wearer was
so proudly conscious,) the joyous
sound of youthful voices, the sparkle
of eager, young eyes, the busy clatter
of childish feet passing on through
the dazzling sunshine of day which
March seemed to have borrowed from
May, will be remembered by many,
when other recollections of the most
unusual 1910 Easter Sunday viii
have been entirely obliterated.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
ICE PLANT AND COLD STORAGE WARE
HOUSE TO Be ERECTED.

We have just learned that the
Point Pleasant Water & Light Co.
are now having plans made for the
enlargement of their power plant,
and equipping it so as to furnish con-
tinuous current day and night. The
company will also build an ice plant
and cold storage warehouse on the
site of and in connection with their
plant, thus greatly reducing the ex-
pense usually incident to an ice and
cold storage plant when operated by
Independent power. We understand
that the latest ice machines will be
used and the capacity of the plant
will be twenty-five tons per day.
The cold storage warehouse will
be large enough to fully accommo-
date all the present requirements of
this vicinity and will be so construct
ed, that its capacity can be increased
as business may require.

WILL SPEND SEVEN MILLION.

We see by the State Journal of
Thursday that the c. & o. people
are planning to spend seven millions
for the improvement of their track
from Point Pleasant to Corning near
Athens. Through car service will be
instituted from the junction at Gau-
ley Bridge by way of X. & NJ. to Ar
mitage, mile and half from Ath-
ems and from there over the Hooking
Valley to Toledo. The heavy grades
on the river division of the Hooking
Valley would preclude the running of
through trains.

so far that they said it was trickery

BERHALTER'S BODY FOUND.

The decomposed body of Joseph c.
Berhalter, who formerly lived here
and had been missing since Feb. 18th,

N Il YEARS
ALL The LOCKS AND DAMS RHL Be
COMPLETED.
Washington, D. C.,-The eom-

Washington, D. c.,-The COM
pletiOn fthe Ohio river improvement
within twelve years, an annual
appropriation sufficient to accomplish
this and the giving of precedence
over all other river projects of the
Ohio river, will be recommended to
the senate. when the senate COM
mittee on commerce reports the
rivers and harbors bill which will be
within few days.
The decision on these matters was
reached today. It was done largely
through the efforts of Senator EIkins,
who during the illness of Senator
Frye, is acting chairman of the COM
mittee and has been all the time that
the river and harbor bill has been be-
fore the committee.
Senator Elkins called the attention
of the committee to the Importance
of the Ohio, the waste in appropriat-
ing small sums for its improvement
and the recommendation of the presi-
dent that the Ohio be taken upnext,
and pushed through to completion.
Itwas unanimously agreed this policy
should be recommended by the COM
mittee and an earnest effort will be
made to have the suggestions adopted
by the senate and agreed to by the
house.
The carrying out of the Ohio river
improvement project will require in
round numbers something ike sixty
million dollars from now on The
policy advocated by the senate com
mittee is to appropriate an average
of FIVE million dollars year, and au-
thorize the construction work to be
carried on as fast as possible until
completed. The bill, as it passed
the house carried appropriations of
1000, 900 and the senate has added
$1,000, 900 which is considered suf-
ieient for the coming year.
Senator Elkins is enthusiastic to-
night over his success in having the
improvement of the Ohio declared of
prime importance and having its i'm
provement authorized in advance of
other projects.
Should the house disagree with this
proposition, Senator Elkins, from his
position on the senate committee,
would undoubtedly be a member, of
the conference committee, and would
have much to say in regard to the
agreementof the bill so that it seems
reasonably certain that these will
be in the bill as finally passed.

The Tiger Fork company's well is

No. /, which iseloser to the gusher
recently struck has also been drilled

feet and as soon as it is recased, and
the damages caused by the premature
explosion of an anchor shot, repair

a communication to the Waterloo,
Ia, Courier, purporting to come from
"A Telephone Patron" comments
in an interesting way on the justice
ofraising telephone rates. The main
argument is as follows:
make no pretense Ofbeins posted
about the telephone business, but /
did attend country school and learn
ed reading, writing and arithmetic
when was boy, and can do sums
in addition, substractiOn and multi
plication. Therefore l know that If
it is true that it takes a dollar and a
half to buy, on the average, as much
as dollar would buy in the past, the
dollar and half that the Times
Tribune says the telephone company
wants for residence telephone is no
more than dollar would have been
before And the three dollars which it
says the telephone company wants for
business telephone is no more than
two dollars would have been before.
Furthermore, when President Taft
and the highest authorities among
the bankers and professors of political
economy in the universities all agree
and tell US that it is the increase in
the production of gold that causes
the three dollars to be worth no more
now than the two dollars was before !;
and, when all these authorities tell
US that the supply of gold and the
amount of money per capita in circu-
lation is almost certain to increase
still more, and, perhaps faster in the
future than it has increased in the
past, and that, therefore, the time
will come when four dollars will be
worth as little as two dollars was be-
fore, how can the Times-Tribune, or
the City Council, or anybody else FIX
rate for telephones that may be
depended upon for some time to
come any more than those same

DYNAMITE VS.. PLOW.

J. Henry Caldwell, farmer, near
here, broke up an acre of land to-day
with 500 charges of dynamite, the
explosive being used instead of the
plow.
Mr.. Caldwell claims that blasting
land with dynamite is the best
method for subsOiling, and that it
can be done more cheaply than by
manual labor. Many persons from
the city and the county were present
to witness the experiment.

DETHRONEMENT
OF SPEAKER CANNON NAY Be FORCED
BY INSURGENTS.

Washington, March eS.-Many OF
the insurgent Republicans of the
house, who last Saturday voted to
retain Speaker Cannon in the chair,
are hearing from home, . according
to reports in circulation about the
capitol. These advices are said to be
not at all reassuring.
Following close upon this Informs
ton came statements from several
that the war against ''cannonism'' is
to go on to the extent of ultimately
causing the dethronement of Speaker
Cannon, the election of his successor
and the complete reformation of the
rules ofthe house. Theoverthrow of
the speaker and the taking away from
the speakership of all power to infu-
ence legislation unduly are aimed at.
Some of the insurgents discussed
these subjects freely today.
A proposition to remove Speaker
Cannon by means of the combined
vote of Democrats and Insurgents and
substitute in his place Asherc. Kinds,
the parliamentarian of the house, is
one of the plans which several insur-
gents advocated today. The idea of
placing in the speakers chair a pure
parliamentarian, not member of the
house, who would be entirely uuin-
iuenced by considerations Bipartisan
advantage, was pointed out by Rep
resentative Poindexter of Washing
ton, and Others, as the logical and
proper course. Under the constitu-
ton, the house may choose a speaker
who is not a member of the body.
Representative Poindexter, who is
one of the prominent members ofthe
insurgent body, said;
This initial reform which we have
accomplished must be followed by
Others. The whole trouble in which
the house finds itselfis caused by the
joining of the power of the speaker
with that of the lender of the major
ity. The English plan Ofhaving an
expert parliamentarian instead of a
politician or a presiding officer is the
only correct one. As long as we
select a party leader as speaker, just
so long will we have partisan and un-
fair rulings from the chair.
When the house adopted the
Norris resolution the other day, it
was vote of no confidence, in
Speaker Cannon, and he saould have
have resigned. As he did not do 50,
we should depose him. With that
accomplished, l think we should
elect Mr.Hinds. I believe major
ity of the house would vote for it.
Surely, the Democrats and the in
surgents would.

BASE BALL PARK
PRESEEuYEY scene These DAYS
LARGFORG At WORK.

Manager Henry has had quite 4
force of men and teams at work, over
at the ball park, for the past week.
They are removing all Ofthe trees
out along the third base line and in
left field and have put down tiling so
that the grounds will drain quickly
and dry rapidly. Monday carload
of telephone poles was ordered for
the fence and work on that line win
go rapidly forward, just as soon as
they arrive. Some oftheyOungsten
who have been thinking that they
would perch themselves on the B. &
o. embankment, and witness the
games from there, free of charge,
will be greatly disappointed to learn
that permission has been granted by
the railroad permitting the team to
erect a fence along there.
The Ohio State League attempted
to put team in at Huntington and
play their games at Camden Park,
against the Virginia Valley League,
but the Secretary of National Asso-
citation of Professional B. B. Clubs,
has ruled against them. One ofthe
rules being that all league teams
shall be at least FIVE miles apart.
The V. V. League having their fran
ehise and being on the ground first,
were entitled to this decision.
Playing manager Rcddy'' Mack,
writes from Newport, Ky, that he
has seven players there, working out
every day and that they will be in
fine form by the time they report
here on April 18th.
The stock is not selling as rapidly
as the promoters had hoped for, the
the people thinking, no doubt, that
the team is sure go with what stock
has already been sold. Such is not
the case. 1t cost money, and lots of
it, to build and fence a ball park
such as we will have when complete
ed. Put your shoulder to the wheel
and help the boys along.
The next regular meeting of the
league will be held at Charleston,
on April 8, at which time President
spinney and Secretary Dugan will
attend with copies of their schudule
and the rules of the league, the same
to be adopted at this meeting. This
will very likely be the last meeting
of the leasae before the opening Of
the season on May 5.
Joe (Reddy) Mack, the Newport
Ky, boy who will handle the Point
Pleasant, Club, has made offers to
First Baseman Mullenkamp and
Pitcher Jack Thaylor, two local boys
who have been with the Saturday
Afternoon League and the K. l. o.
League. Mack is getting together
fine team for the up-the-river metro
polls, and his years of experience as
minor league manager are assisting
him greatly.-commercial Tribune.
