in which West Virginia has won on
every contention.
Several large tracts of land in
West Virginia near the Virginia bor-
der have been selected for purchase
by the government under the pro-
visions of law providing for forest
reservations on the head waters of
streams rising in the Appalachian
Mountains. A dispute has arisen
regarding the price to be paid for
these lands and unless either the
government or the land owners
make concessions the land will not
be purchased. Secretary OF the In
terror Fisher recently paid visit to
West Virginia to personally inspect
the territory in question, but so far
no conclusion seems to have been
reached.
The nomination of N. ]. Keadle
at Williamson, Mingo county, was
sent to the Senate some weeks ago.
Apparently through a confusion of
the postoffices Of Williamson and
Williamstown, his nomination was
held UP, along with that of the post
master at Williamstown. The latter
appointment was held up at the re-
quest of State Chairman Highland
and other Republicans MFR. Keadle
was in Washington last week and
found out that the delay in confirm
ing him was entirely due to a con-
fusion of the names, there being no
objection to his appointment.

CONTINUES LIFE
OUTSIDE OF BODY
Rockefeller Institute Director
Thinks Elemental Death Can
be Postponed.
Permanently Of Tissues May be
Obtained, He Says.

An account of some remarkable
experiments made at the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research with
tissues from the heart is given by
DR.. Alexis Carrel, director of the in
stitute, in report just published.
DR.. Carrel announces that he has
been able to keep pieces of the heart
tissue pulsating rythmically outside
of the organism from which they
had been taken for more than two
months. The fragments We're pre-
served in glass jars in suitable me-
dia.
The experiments are part Of a Sc
ries to determine whether the life
of tissue can fbe prolonged indefinite
~ outside of the body. In this con-
nection DR.. carreh expresses this
opinion:
1T is conceivable/4hat the length
of the life of a tissue outside of the
organism could exceed greatly its
normal duration in the body, be-
cause elemental death might be post
!. poned indefinitely by proper arti-
fetal nutrition
Then follows this statement:
subsequently | developed other
techniques by which it may be pos
sible to obtain permanent life Of It's
sues"
In one of the experiments cited a
fragment of heart tissue, cultivated
in hypnotics plasma, pulsated regu-
larly for several days ana grew ex-
tensively After two months the
tissue was dissected and small
central fragment removed and put
in new medium. 1t was found to
be pulsating at rate that varied
between 80 and 104 beats minute
Of this and other specimens DR..
Carrel says:
Generally, the tissues seemed, af-
ter a time, to adapt themselves to
their new condition and very few
cultures died spontaneously.
Tn case Of local Infection the
part not infected wasresected with a
cataract knife and placed in a new
medium. Often the culture recov-
cred and produced several genera
lions of cells that were free from
microbfan infection. ! But when in
lection was generalized the tissues
always died rapidly. Many cultures
died of sepsis."

Senator Watson Sells His Famous
Team OF Trotting Horses.
Senator William E. Chiffon spoke
for nearly two hours in the senate
in support of the workmen's. com
pensation and employers liability
bill, which was under consideration
providing for payments to govern
ment employees Injured in the ser
vice. He had no prepared speech,
but made an extemporaneous adj
dress which was listened to attent-
lively by senator's and visitors. He
urged speed in passing the bill,
showing from the average of statis-
tics how many persons had been
killed and injured while the senate
had the matter under consideration.
Announcement was made that
Senator Watson had sold his famous
team of harness horses Ringing

A Serious Charge

Speaking to a Chicago audience
composed largely of ministers, Rev
wv E. Biederwolf brought the fol
lowing charge against a portion OF
1.-THE church membership:
sYou have, women in your church.
es today who are thinking more
about the coming bridge party than
they are of the salvation of their
children; you have merchants in your
churches who think more of gold
than of God; and you have in your
churches too great number OF
those desmasculinized creatures who
give more thought to the crease in
their trousers than to. the crisis OF
their souls affairs. The Men and
Religion Movement means to see
that conversion shall not give way
to sculture.'

DIR. G. R. WHITES oANDIDAcY.

We are glad to note from the news
from other parts Of the district that
the candidacy of DR.. G. r. White Of
this county for delegate from the
Fifth Congressional District to the
Baltimore Convention, IS rapidly
growing in favor with the people.
Mingo County is entitled to the
honor Of one of these delegates The
Democracy Of this county has asked
for little in the way of State or Ma
tional honors. There are In Mingo
County Democrats who nave worked
hard for the party in the face of de-
feat and who have never hesitated
to do whatever could be done here
for the party even against strong
odds, and in time OF certain defeat.
No Democrat in Mingo County has
been more willing and anxious to as
sist the party than has DR. White.
He has been life long Democrat,
having been born and reared in
Logan County, and amid all the
backsliding, Topping and deserving
that has been going on in this sec
stion of the State In recent years, Dr.
White has remained faithful, earn
est and enthusiastic in support Of
the party. He believes that the
young Democrats should have recog-
milton.
DR.. White is thoroughly In sym
pathy with the progressive policies;
he believes that the party should
take no backward step in the things
for which William j. Bryanhas
stood and fought so long. He be-
lieves that the candidacy of the
present Speaker of the House Of
Representatives Hon. Champ Clark,
is acceptable to the Democracy of
the Country and that the Fifth Con-
gressional District should send dele
gates favorable to his candidacy
DR.. White, however, could consist
emily support any other progressive
candidate should the Democrats of
the district so declare.
We hope that the convention will
select DR.. White for this honor. He
would make worthy and creditable
representative.

As an entirely logical explanation
of the recent great rise in the price
of meats the following is offered
from Chicago: The retail butcher
is blaming the wholesaler, the Who'll
saler the packer, the packer the
farmer, and the farmer the high
price of corn" In this House That
Jack Built only one item was omit
ted. Everybody should blame the
consumer for kicking at the prices.

who invented kisses, anyway?
inquiries a contemporary. The first
kiss recorded in history, so far as
we know, was the one Jacob gave his
father when he was cheating his
brother Esau out OF the latter's
birthright Yet we hesitate to give
the credit for the invention entirely
to Jacob. If Adam did not kiss Eve
he shamefully neglected his oppor-
tunities. Chicago Tribune.

though in the last Is years the rise
in the cost of living abroad has
been about 10 per cent, or a little
more, the rise in the United States
has been about 40 per cent. Reduced

has shrunk to about SO cents the
American dollar, measured by pur-
chasing power of necessities. has
dwindled to about II cents during
this period. Worlds Work,

IN GRAFT CASE
RosenthaI Jury Convenes--
Rockefeller Family Interested
Special py United Fress Wirs.

NeU Fork, Aug. 8:-Twenty wit
nssses were waiting when the Rosen-
thai grand jury convened today
after a weeks recess and in the
office of District Attorney Whitman
1t was said that further indictments
were expected in connection with
the gambling graft and murder
scandal. The evidence of the police
graft obtained through decoy dis
orderly house established on the or
der and with the money of John D..
Rockefeller, Jr., it was said today
blazed a trail that led up to high
officials, being especially damaging
to one inspector.
1t was rumored that the Rookie
feller house paid $500 month to
one inspector and S. J. Murphy, who
acts for the Rockefeller charity and
sociable work, did not deny this
story. When Commissioner Waldo
was asked If any cognizance Of the
Rockefeller disclosures were known
to him, he replied, 81 do not know
to my own knowledge what Mr..
Rockefeller has done or what he has
found out, but I hope that he has
been successful in obtaining evidence
that will enable the police depart
ment to dismiss any rascals who
have been guilty of wrong-doing.'
William J. Burns, the detective,
today admitted that men working
under his direction operated one
gambling house and two disorderly
resorts in the Tenderloin districts as
means of obtaining evidence against
the system, which, it is said, Burns
has placed in the hands Of District
Attorney Whitman. John D. Rookie
Teller. Jr., today issued a statement
DENYING that he, personally, had any
thing to do with the pretended re-
sort, but he did not deny that such
house was operated or that it's
onerators were his agents.

PROVE COSTLY
John FIeresh, Of Elizabeth
Gets go Days for His
Escapade Here.
INS0LENT AT COURT
Insults Two Girls in Store
of William SchIosberQ
While Making Purchase.

Because he was dissatisfied with q
pair of shoes he had purchased and
heaved abuse upon two girls in the
shoe store of William Schlosberg, at
352 State street, last =. night, John
Fleresh, thirty-six years old, of
Elizabeth, went to the county Jail for
highly abusive to Miss Rose Schlos-
berg and friend and even attempt
ed to trifie with the police after his
pedigree had been taken at police
headquarters.
The man was arrested by Sergeant
Dunham on complaint of Miss Schlos-
berg. She said he came into the shoe
store shortly after 6 o'clock and
asked for pair Of tan, low shoes.
He was sold pair for SO. After
wearing them for about half an hour
he discovered pair of sneaks In a
case In the store marked at 81. He
became very angry and wanted to
know why he had been sold a pair of
shoes for SO when he might have Sc
cured pair of sneaks for 81. Miss
Schlosberg attempted to explain that
he had asked for tan shoes. He re-
fused to listen and began using vile
language.
AS the man stood a prisoner at the
police desk he continued his aggra-
waiting tactics. When asked by the
sergeant If he was married he an
swered mo, to h NIT marriage"
After his pedigree had been taken he
was asked to go to cell. He re-
piled "No, I'll stay here" He stayed
there but an instant after that for he
moved far more rapidly towards the
cell department that he had ever ex-
pected to.
