STREET PAVING.

It is unfortunate that the cam

greatly influenced by prejudice ana
Misrepresentation. This is partlc|-
iarly noticeable as to the paving Sec
ton of the bill. People are being
told that the commissioners will
practically confisCate their property
by improvements and that it will he

on the property owners. These ar
guments are only made for the pur-
pose Of appealing to prejudice ana
they are not appeals to reason.
In the first place the paving sec
ton Of the charter are identically the
same as those in the Huntington
charter and no complaint has ever
been heard from that city about an!
hardships being inflicted upon the
citizens there by paving the
streets. This paving section is the
same as provided by the acts of the
legislature of 1905 and any city OF
over 1000 population can adopt 1t
any time by vote of the people with
out going to the legislature for spc-
cial charter.
No paving can be done except by
ordinance which must be published
before it is adopted giving the citl-
zens notice to protest If there Is any
ground for protest. After 1t is adopt

ABLE SUPPORT.

The West Virginian acknowledges
with a true sense of appreciation the
COMMUNICATION given it in the follow.
ing editorial, by such distinguished
and able writer as the Hon. o. s.. Nc
Kinney, editor of the Times, not
alone because Of the selfish interest
which causes all of us to appreciate
recognition Of any effort that may be
directed to any certain end, but be-
cause, Of the fact that the Times has
$50 ably espoused a movement which
both the newspapers of the city agree
, is to the best interest of the whole
community.
The West Virginian from sense
Of sincere obligation that it and all
the other newspapers owe the COM
munity which they try to serve, well
comes the able support the Times is
SO competent to give the movement

WAUREGAN BOY DROWNED. Richard s. Lahrope, 6, Found in Canal
 Last Evening.

Wauregan people were undera strain
 of deep anxiety Wednesday during an
 all day search for little Richard Stan
 ley Lathrope, son of MT. and Mrs. boy, who is but six years of age, dis appeared Tuesday afternoon. His ] father said Wednesday afternoon that the little fellow left home about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and in company with a playmate, Edward Burns, went down to the Quinebaug river. near the gatehouse to watch
 other boys swimming,
 Neither Richard nor Edward went fnte the water, but after remaining on the bank fer some time went to the home of another boy for a drink of water and from there to the Burns
 home, where the pair were treated to cake. Later in the afternoon they played in a game of hide and seek in the vicinity of the boys homes. Richard went to hide and was not seen thereafter by his playmate A woman Whe knows Richard reports having seen him at about 5 o'clock, the time he went to hide fer the last time, but from then on n6 trace of him could be found.
 During the search of Tuesday night, which instituted when the bey did not put in an appearance at the usual time and during Wednesday about every | ct --rSlN dUI0 LOOh anu COTn0T III In6 village was searched, without avail. During the afternoon of Wednesday two theories as to the boys disappear ance were receiving the most atten- tfon, one was that the little fellow had gone back to the river or to the canal and had been drowned the other that he had been kidnapped.
 The mystery of the little lads dis appearance was cleared up Wednesday night when his body was found in the canal from which the water had
 been drawn off after the mill closed to permit of investigation. It is now thought that the little fellows hat fell into the canal and that he either waded in or fell from the bank into the wa ter in an attempt to recover it.
 There was a great deal of interest in the case in Danielson, as Mir and Mrs. Lathrope formerly lived here, Mrs. Lathrope, being the daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. H. Pellett, Main street.
