War Department Approves Plans fol-
Bridge at Petersburg.

After years of contest theESecretary of
War has given his approval to the plans
Of the Parkersburg Bridge Company to
erect a bridge across the Ohio river at

the Pilots Association and others whe
objected to the construction Of the bridge
withdrew their opposition. and the de-
partment was free to approve the plans.
The action of the Secretary of. War
was in conformity with the recommended
ton of a board of engineers, who in
vestigated the plans and the proposed
location of the bridge.

WHEELING. w. Va. January 10, 1910.
From the neutral tone displayed by
many republican papers in West Virginia
It Is evident that they have no prefer
ences or prejudices SO far in the pros
pective struggle for the legislature be-
tween Senator Scott aud Representative
Hubbard. They discuss the affair with
colorless impartiality, some declaring that
the issue rests alone with Ohio county,
the home of both gentlemen.
There are number of more or less in
f1uential republicans who exhibit like
nOncommittal attitude. Such a situation
inspires the cynically minded to impute
certain motives to those who have not yet
made up their minds, for it Is notorious
that an impression may be made later
on if the senatorial candidates are dis
posed to treat with the elements now In
clined to roost on the fence.
This is not to say, however, that both
Messrs. Scott and Hubbard have not
their partisans. 1t develops that Hubbard
will have newspaper support in Fayette
county, very likely in Morgantown, and
probably in Fairmont. three important
republican centers. and this support will
be sincere, either from admiration of
him or because of antagonism to Sena-
tors Scott and ElkinS

FARM LECTURES IN CAR

a lecture car Is employed as a unique
adjunct in educating farmers and a&ri-
cultural students In up-to-date methods
of growing fruit, by the department of
farmers institutes of the Maryland Agrl-
cultural College. under the direction OF
William L. Amoss.
This scheme was inaugurated last year,
and proved so successful 1t was decided
to use the same method again this year.
The lecture or institute car offers facili-
ties to education of farmers dwelling
along railroads.
The car Is adapted to class work, be-
ing heated and lighted as well as many
OF the best lecture halls of the country.
1t is equipped with fifty comfortable
chairs, chart case, blackboard and stere-
opticon shades SO that the lectures can
be given at night as we'll as during the
day.
Frequent Stops Along Road.
This lecture car service is used on the
Western Maryland and Maryland and
Pennsylvania railroads. AS frequent
stops are made along the roads it is not
expected that the attendance at any one
class will tax the capacity of the car.
Maryland women have shown a pref
erence for the work apart from the men.

attend classes exclusively for women.

TOO ARDENT LOVER

Napa Engineer Wooes Fair
0steopath Strenuously and
Is Arrested

OAKLAND, Nov. 3.-Too ardent in his
courtship of DR.. E. Gertrude Smith, a
handsome osteopath of 1144 East Four
teenth street, with whom he fell in
love one evening in a Twenty third
avenue restaurant, Walter Van VIE. an
engineer from Napa, was arrested yes
terday by Sergeant Forgie and Patrol
man Gunter on a charge of carrying a
concealed weapon.
The engineer was taken into custody
at Doctor Smiths Office. He had called
on the osteopath early in the morning
and had remained until he was request
ed to leave. Van VIE declined to do so,
telling Doctor Smith he meant to re-
main near her for life Wishing to lock
her office, Doctor Smith called for help
and physician in her building gall
lantly responded. The ardent suitor
then displayed a revolver, threatening
TO shoot the interloping male practi-
tioner. AT this juncture Doctor Smith
telephoned for the police
Van VIE freely told the policemen
who took him to jail that for two years
he had sought the hand of the fair os-
teopath. He first gazed at her, he said
in restaurant, and found a pretext
for an acquaintance. That was two
years ago. and though he had called
to see Doctor Smith at intervals since
he said he always departed a rejected
suitor.
The mans steadfast devotion lost
some of its glamor, however, when Van
VIE appeared before Police Judge Sam
uels this morning. The magistrate con-
tinued the case until November s. but
ordered that physicians examine Van
VIE and inform the court whether the
Napa engineer should be held for ex-
animation as to his sanity.
