Showing no more logic or political
sense than the clarksburg exponent,
the Telegram could very well say
that the machine slate Is an
nounced, byicalling attention to the
fact that the Exponent itself believes

Chairman Virgil g.. Highlands
holding that 1t would not be proper
for him to become Taft's manager in
this state and hold the position Of
state chairman at the same time
dlsquiets the Democratic state ma

taken by Mr.. Highland is a most
commendable one as it proves con-
Sclusively that he has no intention OF
using his oaicesas state chairman in
promoting anyone's campaign. HIs
declination Of the Taft offer was
Interestingly Disappointing to the
press Of the Democratic state ma
chine which had prepared itself to
set up wildcat yeowls to the eject

us,irped the rights OF the rank and

such individual he certainly 'has as
mltch. right as any other citizen Of

Build an Opera House.

What an ideal srte the Latstetter
burnt district is for a modern opera
house,!
THAT site is the best available one
in the city. ITS location is ideal.
An opera house there would be easy
to get to and easy of access with
streets on either side, In fact
there could be street on all sides.
There is plenty Of ground, indeed,
4 super-abundance. There would
be no necessity to have cramped
space.
at may, be suggested that the
ground is too valuable for an opera
house. The suggestion is unten-
able. The Empire square might be
too valuable for merely a bank. but
the square contains building which
serves many other purposes, too.
Perhaps, the ground where the new
home of the Union National Bank
is being erected is too valuable
merely as a home for the bank but
! 1t Is being built to serve several
other purposes also. The COT
building would not be paying in
vestment If it contained nothing but
the bank there. The same may be
said of the Waldo hotel building.
An opera house in the burnt dis
trict would not simply mean that
and nothing more. That would be
a crazy idea. Emulation of the
plans and purposes Of the buildings
herein mentioned would certainly
make an opera house building
there a paying proposition.
Should the hatstetter estate itself
not feel justified in the erection Of
such a building, company of en-
terprising citizens certainly should
be formed.
Immediate action is essential and
Clarksburg should not permit this
opportunity of a lifetime to pass
without grasping hrmiy to it!
Some say that the property is

ieS,f and like old wine has i'm
proved with age till today, they
rank with the best and real ex-
ponents of the Jubilee minstrel
art. The show is clean and re-
freshing and a class Of entertain
ment that almost every one en-
joys. The name signifies Just
what they are, clean cut negro
college boys who have had the
training moral and educational
support which has developed the
best that is in them. There is
not a member of the company
who cannot play some instrument
in the band, sing song and
dance, or tell an amusing story.
all this great efficiency has re-
puired long experience, patience,
training and money to produce.
They arc presenting one novelty
act alone that should prove worth

SIXTY KILLED WHEN
BANDITS ATTACK TRAIN
zapatlstas Explode Mine Under Train
and Open Murderous Fire Upon
the Passengers.

Mexico City. More than sixty per-
sons were killed and many were
wounded in an attack by Zapatistas
on q passenger train between this
city and Cuernavaca, Morelos, early
Saturday
The Zapatistas, said to number
BOO, placed mine under the railroad
track which exploded as the locomo.
tive passed over 1t. The overturned
engine hardly had settled when the
zapatistas sprang up from all sides
and poured a murderous fire into the
train.
First the object of their attack was
a second-class coach in which were
riding federal military escort with a
captain and two lieutenants. The fed
erals got out of the car as quickly as
possible, and answered the fire of the
assailants, but their efforts were fu-
tile. The command, with the excep.
ton of five wounded and two who
escaped, were killed.
Thirty passengers in the second.
class coaches were killed and many
wounded, In the first class coach no
one was killed. but one was danger
ously wounded and may die. The con-
ductor, an American named Aller, is
not expected to live.

Downey, Idaho.--A hundred feet of
track and sixteen-foot embankment
We're carried away early Friday morn
ing at point ten miles north of here
on the Oregon Short Line, by ter
rife cloudburst, only a few minutes
after the Yellowstone Park special
passed over the track The special,
which was returning from the park,
was heavily loaded and it's safe pas
sage over the doomed track is con
sidered almost miraculous Meyers
Cohn, a raneher living near the scene
of the washout, and another man, saw
the work of the cloudburst and while
one rushed to the nearest station to
notify the dispatcher of the trouble,
the other remained at the scene Of
disaster and tagged the next train
which was known to be due in a
short time. No one was injured by
the cloudburst, but considerable dam
age was done in addition TO that to
the railroad track.
