DAMAGE SUIT
Resulting from Flow of
Water from Mine is
Dismissed.

Justice 5. W. Gordon dismissed
tho $3.50 damage suit against the
Fairmont and Baltimore Coal and
Coke Company's Adnmston mine.
which was brought by j. Neil sehon
for the damaging OF his garden and
water we'll.
The plaintiff said the water over
flowed small ditch leading the
water from the mine to the street
below his house and ran upon his
garden covering it with slack coal
and sulphur deposits from the mine.
The water in the we'll has tasted of
sulphur ever since and has been so
hard that 1T is impossible to use it.
The defendant proved that several
wells in the adjoining lots we're also
, in the same condition as Mr.. lsehon's
well, and the owners said the rea-
son was that vein of coal runs un-
der the wells and the sulphur water
comes from this vein of coal and de
stroys the water in the wells.
The decision handed down by
Justice Gordon is not satisfactory to
the PLAINTIFF and he has filed an ap
peal, and the case will be settled in
the higher courtA

HELLO!
New Rules Are Adopted BY
the Bell Telephone
Company.

II you want to say. Hello,
$780," say 1t like this "3-oh! OH"
OF course, if you don't say the
number that way, central may un.
derstand you, but 1t has been de.
cided that the "oh! OH" way is the
better.
It's one of the new rules Of tho
Bell Telephone Company. There
arc several others.
With a view of giving better SER
vice and avoiding. If possible, mis-
understandings in the sound of the
number asked for over the phone.
the Bell Company has formulated
several new rules for its operators.
1t has been decided that the letter
20" or the exclamation oh" is not
so likely to become confused with
the sound of the mineral which
sounds mot"
Another of the new rules formu-
lated by the company and which will
be used in Clarksburg in the future
is that after the operator has given
you a number and wants to know
whether you are talking or whether
the party called answered. she will
cut in on the line and say "oper-
ator," instead of "waiting?" as has
been the case. If the occasion de-
mands that the central operator
come on to the line for a second
time to learn whether the parry
calling got the person desired, she
will say: Are you waiting?" or -
will ring again"
Officials of the Bell system have
given similar instructions to opera
tors in all the offices throughout the
country.

WILEY. CHAMPIONS
COTTON SEED OIL
Chief Of Bureau of Chemistry
Praises the Food Value
of That Article.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SI.-Dr. Har-
yey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau Of
chemistry OF the department of agri-
culture, who has been put on the
grill for alleged activity against GER
tain manufacturers whose business
1t is to sell food to the public which
DR.. Wiley says is injurious to the
publlc's health, has consistently
championed an industry of great i'm
portance to the South in particular
and to the people in general.
With one single exception-cotton
the cotton seed is OF the greatest
Importance to the people Of the South
1t not only affords a sure and lucra-
tive money crop" but it supplies a
human food product which DR.. Wiley
thinks is of supreme Importance and
benefit to the public health.
Il have always been an advocate
Of the use of cotton seed oil as a
human food" says DR.. Wiley. There
is one product against which nobody
has any objection" and the doctor
perhaps had in mind the many prob
lens OF pure food with which he is
daily confronted and which recently
led to determined activity on the part
of his enemies to have him shelved
But the newspaper and magazine
press of the country has come out
firmly in support of DR., Wiley, and
1t now lookes like the chief advocate
of pure foods in general and of cot
ton seed oil in particular will con-
tinue the good work to which he was
assigned when the bureau was Gre
ated.
Il have seen people who have tax
en- cotton seed oil and used it for
cooking purposes, said DR.. Wiley in
a speech he made in New York a
short time ago, who had a prejudice
against it beforehand, but on trial
of it that prejudice was removed, and
then they continued to use it for
cooking purposes. Just so. l believe
that the people of this country who
are as rule not very great eaters
Of oil at the table-not as they
should be-couId be taught to con-
sumo large quantities of this whole
some product. wy.
The health of the people will be
better in this country if they eat
more cotton seed oil, and you Cthe
cotton seed oil Industry will get a
wider market for your troduct, and
you will be a -bHnefactor of the public
as we'll as administering to their
needs by teaching them to do this"
These are strong words in the in
terest of great southern industry
coming from the chief exponent in
the United States of the doctrine of
pure food
Cotton seed oil has been tested
thoroughly by government pure food
experts, who have recommended it
for use in the United States Navy
for salad and cooking purposes.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE passing Of
Fernando Jones, who since the days
when the Pottawatomie Indians camp
ed on the lake front, where Grant
park is now located, has been a promi-
nent character in Chicago, brings to
mind incidents of this city's life and
development. He died at the age OF 81
years after an illness OF one day. Dur
ing this time he has seen the growth
from an Indian camp on the lake front
to the second largest city in the United
States and the fourth largest city in
the entire world. He was the first man
to be photographed in Chicago.
When he migrated west Ii was by
wagon, rather than by railroad. Dur
ing the recent aviation meet he took
particular interest in this development
Of aerial navigation and commented on
the contrast between his first days on
the shores of Lake Michigan and this
occasion. when almost on the same
spot he saw ten airships sailing at will
over the Jake front.
Mr.. Jones was active In public life
throughout his entire career aud his
passing away is mourned by the en-
tire city.

Greene to Forum representatives this
morning, "our wires are In good shape
and we have been able to establish
communication with almost every
point in those directions this morning.
But between jamestown and Bismarck
we are having the most of our trouble
today. l think however, by tomor-
row, that we will be able to get every
thing in good shape between those two
points In the west"
The wire chief at the Western I'M
ion Telegraph Co., told The Forum
representative this morning that all
along the Great Northern line they had
had no trouble at all, and that every
thing was all right along the N. r.
line as far west as Dickinson But he
said in the vicinity OF Lisbon and in
that portion of the state generally, the

all sorts of complaints and trouble
in getting communication established.

communication in that locality would
be restored completely.
