DISEASE
Is to Be Baffled by Good
Work Friday, Cleanup
Day, in the City.

Cleaning day should save clarks-
burg much Illness this summer. II
you watch the newspapers you will
notice that typhoid is already with us.
Hardly a day passes without the an
nouncement that some one has
this disease. Flies breed in filth,
walk over heaps of putrefying gar
bage and then bring their germ laden
wings and feet into your dining room
and infect your food; or II screened
from the homes you are still in dan
ger from the fact that these germs
may be deposited on all meats, fruits
and vegetables exposed for sale in
front of the stores and not protected
from them. The cleaning day, Fri
day, May 10, when garbage and rub
bish are to be removed and burned
without charge, should mean much to
the health Of the city. Clean out
your stables and sheds. whitewash
your cellars and your back fences
Who knows but that in helping tc
clean up the town you may prevent
sickness in your own home. You may
even save your own life or that Of
your favorite child.

Of the Union Association Are
in Annual Convention
at Industrial.

Good addresses by well known
speakers, annual election OF officers,
ard the choice of the time and place
OF next meeting are the features OF
the program of the Union Baptist
Sunday School Association. which is
holding its annual convention in the
baptist church at Industrial.
The convention was opened ct 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning with
devotional services conducted by the
Rev. w. ]. Eddy, followed with a
short scriptural exposition by the
Rev. w j. Eddy, of Fairmont.
The Rev. A. B. Withers, OF Bridge
port made the opening address
In an address on the subject, "rhc
sunday School and the Future OF
the State Mr.. fancy Harrison, OF
this city, pointed out the present
defective conditions prevailing in
the world from a political and so,
cial standpoint, and said that the
Sunday school must correct them
The public schools are defective in
religious training, he said, to the
extent that they do not, because
they are not allowed to teach relig'
on. Mr.. Harr!son's address was
well prepared and to the point.
"The Task and Training OF the
Teacher" was then discussed by the
Rev. H. T. Musselman, of Philadel
phia, Pa, educational secretary o.
1.-THE American Baptist Publication
and Sunday School Society. He
pointed out that the task of thu
Sunday school teacher was that o.
finishing the religious aspects of de
ucation of the people. The speaker
arraigned the decadence of religion
in the family and the lack of relis
lous training in the schools and col
leges. In the present situation, Ii,
said, it remained for the church Il
make good in this respect, else thu
present generation would be raiset
up Goddess and non-Christian PEG

FREE TRADE ABANDONED
BY THE DEMOCRATS NOW
In the Congress from State
of West Virginia
solidly.
FREE TRADE POSITION
Entirely Too Much for Demo
Gratis from States Which
Grow Wool.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IL
From present Indications West Yir-
gina viii vote in the House Demo-
cratic caucus against any proposition
which may be made to to put wool
on the free list. There is no dispo-
sition to oppose a reduction OF the
tariff on wool but representatives
from wool growing states do not
want to see the duty entirely re-
moved from wool without taking the
duty off many other articles at the
same time.
The Democrats of the West vfr-
gInia delegation seem to be about
unanimous in their views and their
opposition to free wool at this tine,
when 1t is not proposed to remove
the duty from all other articles, is
entirely unanimous. And in this
view they are supported by Chair
man Underwood and other members
of the ways and means committee,
as well as by many of the Demo-
cratic congressman from other
states.
While some of the Democrats
want the tariff on wool completely
wiped out, it seems probable that
those who feel so about the matter
are in the minority and that a re-
duction in the duties will be made
without taking the tariff entirely on
and placing wool on the free list.
