Now a half million dollars loss is
caused in a few days by the overflow
ing of the Ohio river. A few months
hence much loss will be suffered by
commerce because of low water in
the same stream. Man may never
wholly control the elements, but there
is reason for hoping that some day
he will be able to regulate the flow
of most rivers so as to prevent them
from doing great damage and to Sc
cure for himself their full benefits.
Keen regret is expressed in art
circles in Washington, according to
advices from the capital, at the neg;
lect by this government of the in
vitation extended year ago by Italy
to the United States to make suitable
representation at the Commemorative
Festival and Exhibition to be held in
Rome in 1911. The art exhibition on
that occasion will be one of the most
notable of the age. For the express
purpose of making possible a suitable
representation of American art the
Italian government has extended the
period during which reservation of
space can be made to February is.
Although the time remaining is limit
ed 1t is to be hoped that this courtesy
will not be overlooked.

MISS WOODWARD LEAVES SOON.

Friday, Feb. %, will bring to a
close the work of Miss Olive Wood
ward as principal of our High school,
Her more than five years of work
tells, in a measure, the high estimate
the school superintendent, the school
officials and the school patrons have
placed upon her work.
She has ever been loyal to the
best interests of the school. She has
labored not alone for high standard
of scholarship among. her pupils, but
also for the upbuilding of true noble
characters. The present splendid
condition and excellent reputation Of
the High school owe much, very much
to her energy, executive ability and
fine scholarship.
We are sure that the school to
which she goes will find her a wise
disciplinarian and an inspiration for
the best efforts of it's students. The
schools here will suffer an immediate
loss, but not an irreparable one, be-
cause the best judgment of Supt.
Haylor and the school board have
been exercised in finding a worthy
and competent successor to the in
structor now leaving.
The Journal joins the community
and the High school pupils in wishing
her "Godspeed,' confidently believing
that the same manifestation of good
sense, teaching ability and christian
conduct shown as principal here will
win new friends in the new position.

No competent investigation of the
increased cost of living can be made
unless investigating board has scope
to cover the entire country in it's re-
search. TO seek information beyond
the national boundaries of necessary
and TO inquire into every factor which
mas to do with the cost of food-stuffs
OF the consumer. A board of trained
experts drawn from the federal SER
vice and from the ranks of eminent
sociologists and economists should be
endowed by Congress with the au-
thority to carry on an investigation.
There is an insistent demand for
such an investigation from all parts
OF the country. A constructive re-
form Is needed. Partial, incomplete,
unrelated investigation will be of lit
tie service to burdened people. The
various factors must be probed to
bottom facts, must be considered in
their inter-relations. No investiga-
ton will be adequate without the
scope and authority which Congress
sional action alone can confer.

The new five cent piece bearing the
head Of George Washington, has been
prepared at the United States mint
in Philadelphia, and its adoption in
place of the present scent piece is
now being considered by the officials
at Washington. During the lifetime
OF George Washington he refused to
allow his likeness to appear upon a
coin, declaring it to be monarchial
custom. If the new coin is adopted,
it will be the first in authorized circu-
lation to bear the head of the father
of his country

PARTY ARoUslNe.

Under the above heading the Sen
tinel-Tribune very wisely admonishes
the Wood county Republicans to do
their fighting at the primaries and
then get together and elect the
ticket that is nominated, which is
good advice and should be the watch
word of every good Republican in the
county. The Sentinel says:
From every township in Wood
county, there come reports that the
workers in the Republican party are
rousing themselves from the off year
Information and are getting ready to
put on their armor for the fight this
fall. The call to arms is being gen
orally sounded and the rank and file
are saying everywhere that this is
the year to get together.
AS matter of fact, the party has
been wandering in the wilderness
long enough and it is high time that
the Promised Land oil Unity and Vic
tory hove in sight. Discussions have
been fatal to Republican success in
the past and they must be done away
with this year.
There are two ways in which the
county this year can be regained
and every Office in the court mouse
filled with Republicans and that is by
organization and by work. Ind the
only way to organize and to work is
simply to organize and to work.
Republicans realize that fact. The
general saying is IF you have any
fighting to do, do it at the primaries.
Then go out and support the ticket"
And that typifies the spirit which
should prevail. 1t is gong to pre-
vail and the result will be that, for
the first time in number of y5ars,
Wood county will resume it's place
among the leading Republican divis-
ions of the state.

Trial of Senator Aids to Be Re-
sumed Tomorrow.

Albany, Feb. 20.-When the trial Of SEN
ator Jotham p Aids is renewed before
the senate committee OF the whole on
Tuesday morning a determined fight will
be made by Lzwis E. Carr to compel
Senator COnger TO reveal ali he knows
about the distribution Of the 5000 he
claims was given TO Assemblyman Jean
Burnett. Counsel for Aids have been led
to believe that Burnett acted as the dis
bursting officer who distributed portions
OF the $1,000 where results would be most
effective. In the event of any additional
names being brought into the case IN
connection with the Doodle fund OF 1901,
the investigation will be prolonged.
The expectation that Mr.. Carr might be
successful in bringing out the names Of
men other than Nixon, Burnett. and
Aids gave the closing hours Of the trial
on Friday a sensational tinge. II Sena-
tor Conger Is unmoved from his state
ment made on direct examination that ne
did not know what became Of the $500
after Burnett got it. the supposition Is
that the limit had been reached as far as
exposures are concerned. II no other
names are brought out, counsel on both
sides feel that they can sum up their
ease and have the trial over by the mid
die Of next week.

Within 8 few moments after Orvis
Seyler had signified his intention to-day
to giving what evidence he could about his
knowledge of the murder his handouts
were removed and he was taken to the
end Of the pier. where he coolly marked
out the spots where he stood with Alice
Adams when she called TO her sister TO
leave William Seyler on the night OF
February T. and where the older Seyler
stood while he held the Adams girl to
prevent her leaving.
Police officials admitted tonight that
they had finally cowed young Seyler
into turning witness against his brother.
They refuse to admit that they have Sc

Of the actual killing of the girl, but have

BULLET MAKES GRANT
NO VETERAN, HE SAYS
Dr.. Blake Tells How Generals Son Was Wounded
by Sharpshooter at Vicksburg Forty
seven Years Ago.

Boston, Feb 2O-To-day is the forty
seventh anniversary of the day that Maj.
Gen. Frederick D. Grant was shot during
the siege of Vicksburg, the event which
has been teh basis of the demand by Vice
President Sherman that Gen. Grant be
enrolled as q civil war veteran.
DR.. C. A. Blake. of West Brookheld. has
come out with evidence to show that the
wound received by Grant was not in the
line Of military duty. The man who han
died the rifle was the late Caleb Perry,
for many years a carpenter on the State
farm at Bridgewater. and prior TO that a
hunter and sharpshooter of note. At the
beginning Of the siege of Vicksburg. Perry
was stationed above the regular Union
forces on the Mississippi River. with
orders 20 shoot at all persons and craft
attempting to pass him without permis-
sion. The boy Grant and companion, on
the night Of February 20. 1863. were out

eeaied. They did not heed his warnings

Perry puts Gen. Grant on record as be-
ing moved almost to tears when he found
that his son had unwittingly strayed into
the trap set by the Union forces for Con
federate soldiers, and the outcome of the
affair was that Fred got more of a repri-
mand than had been originally intended
for Perry.
DR.. Blake said to-day: 81 haven't the
least desire to detraet one jot from Gen.
Grants fame. and for that matter. it
would be impossible, since he is one of
the biggest figures in the army to-day.
But the fact remains. as nearly as I can
determine with accuracy, that he never
was a veteran. and that his only part
in the war was that of a boy inhabiting
his fathers camp. Therefore, the idea to
honor him for wounds received Is ridicu-
lous. have every reason tc believe from
Perry's account, that Grant was merely
a member Of his fathers camp and that
he neither bore the title nor the uniform
of a captain"

Philadelphia, Feb. 2o.-At Lehigh ave-
nue. there were women IN the mob that
drove three policemen and conductor
and motorman from car and beat
them
They smashed the windows, wrenched
the metal parts with crowbars. used
knives and axes on TIE woodwork, ripped
up the seats, and then piled the debris
in the middle of the car and set it on
fire.
The few policemen who got up on It
were helpless. They were outnumbered
500 to !, and If they had made a motion
they would have been jumped on. A FIRE
engine rolled up and two hremen jumped
on the car and began to kick the blaz-
ing wreckage out of the car door. A
woman climbed on the platform and be-
gan to beat and kick the firemen. The
crowd cheered her.
The mob was held back from assault
ing the fremen only by the fear Of thick
