two OF them to be elected, although
all three can not be elected at the

Congressman Brown, of Preston

the Second district, has been put
forward by Preston county again
and win undoubtedly be nominated
by the Democrats to succeed him

TUG RIVER
Work Congressman Hughes
Seeks to Have Started
at Once.

WASHINGTON. Dec, 15.-congress-
man Hughes, of West Virginia, and
Langley, OF Kentucky, are endeavoring
to have work started on the Tub
Fork and Ley-a Fork Of the Big
Sandy river. the former OF which is
in West Virginia and the latter in
Kentucky. An appropriation of $4,000
each was made for these dams in the
last river and harbor bill, but since
then report from the chief of en-
gineers has recommended an addition
al survey of both streams before any
further expenditure is made on either
of them.
The position OF Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Langley is that the law has been
passed appropriating this money and
unless it is repealed the engineers
will have no right to ignore it. They
are urging the war department to
have the work Of constructing these
locks begun at once without regard
to any further survey which may be
ordered later

Professor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I5.-"pon,t
swat the fly, swat the man who per-
nits the fly to breed, was the slogan
TO meet the contention of people who
claim the house, or typhoid, fly is a
benefcient scaycnger and which Prof.
c. F Hodge, of Clark University,
Worcester, Mass, suggested to tho
delegates at the American Civic AS
soc!ations convention here.
Prof. Hedge summarized the results
accomplished since the association
last year adopted plans fer it's cam
paign to cxterm5ratc the house fly.
He described the ny swatt'ng con
tests" inausurated in Worcester and
Baltimore last summer and used them
to illustrate the most active phase Of
the work of the. last year. In Bal
timore, lie said,~ the Woman's Civic
League paid ten cents quart fer
il!es and ii WIS estimated 1900 quarts
were slain.
Outlining the campaign which must
be followed next summer, Prof Hodge
said:
TO completely free the city Of dies
is the purpose and the more that are
caught, and The qricl ~ the better.
But the proposition must be reversed.
To place a premium on filthy condi-

"The details must naturally be

one person living in the block, should
