NO CHICKENS AT THE FAIR.


1t seems about to be decided to
"cut out" the poultry exhibit Mt the
fair this year. The exhibit last year
was discouraging. This is Il cause
for genuine regret. The county had
attained quite Il reputation abroad
for fine birds, and the industry seem
ed to have gotten Il fine start in the
county. One by enc the breeders
have dropped out until, we believe,

Pure bred, and consequently more

surely being distributed all over the
county. For lack of interest, en-
terpriSc, ambition or money-somc-
thing or everybody seems to
have gotten tired of the business.
Can't somebody do or say something
to stir up the people to take Il new
interest and make fresh start in
the poultry business? What has be
come of the fine white and brown

McCANN IS HELD FOR
FEDERAL GRAND JURY
For Usinuthe Mails to Defraud
CIarkshurg and Grafton
Mercantile Men.

John A. Mccain, of Philippi, was
held under bail of $4,000 to appear
before the federal grand jury at
Wheeling May 5, to answer to a
charge of using the mails TO deLIauu,
by John w. Mason, Jr., United states
court commissioner, at the close OF
hearing in the federal building here
Tuesday afternoon. In default OF
bail he was placed in the county JAN.
Mccain according to the evidence
produced at the hearing Tuesday al
ternoon fleeced a large number OF
local merchants as we'll as several az
Grafton and Pittsburg. 1t appears
that Mccain had stationery printed
stating that he was in the feed and
-four business at Worthington- He
ordered goods from local stores on
this stationery telling the merchant
to charge it to him. The goods were
shipped to Worthington by parcel
post. When the goods arrived at
Worthin ston he had them forwarded
to him at Philippi where he has re-
sided for the last year. In this way
If is claimed he beat local merchants
out of $500.
Several months ago he turned his
attention to Grafton and by the same
method he secured forty dollars
worth of goods from Grafton mer-
chant. When the bill was not paid
in a reasonable time, the Grafton
N made an investigation and
found that Mccain did not live at
Worthington and had never run a
store there. He then notified the
federal authorities who put w:
Chambers, postofice Inspector OF
Fairmont, on the case and It was
through his investigation that 1t be
came known that Mccain had de-
frauded so many merchants.
Several merchants not as yet tden-
tiled in any public way with the case
are said to have been defrauded by
Mccain and they can protect them
This kind by cooperating with the
federal authorities in bringing NC
Cam to justice, if guilty.

ARE
THOUGHT TO Be
KIDNAPPER5
OF a Little Boy and Detectives
Notify Police to Be on the
Lookout for Them.

MARTINsBURG, April 15.-Police
officers of eastern West Virginia
cities have been notified by detectives
of Philadelphia, Pa, to be on the look
out for a band of gypsies, supposed to
be the kidnappers of eight-year-old
warren McCarrisk, in Philadelphia
several days ago, and whose where
abouts since his disappearance mas
proved a puzzle too hard for the police
of the East to solve.
A telegram to Chief Hollis, OF TINS
city. states that the gypsies are travel
Ing in four Dayton wagons, and are
now supposed to be somewhere be-
tween Hagerstown and Cumberland,
and are keeping OF the main roads IN
order to avoid attracting attention,
The McCarrick boy is described as
being eight years old, weight seventy
five bounds, medium build. sandy COM
plexion, small lscar on left cheekbone,
and wearing when he disappeared 3
blue REFER overcoat, rubber boots ana
red knitted hat.
II is probable that the boys appear

since he was kidnapped, but he could
nrohabIy be identified by the scar on
his left cheek. The local officers are
MAKING inquiries in an effort to locate
the band of gypsies.

report of the Associated Press, pc

cannot be used "to serve personal and
selfish purposes" and must neces-
sarlly be as fair and Impartial as is
possible to obtain under human con-

The Associated Press is composed
OF over 500 members, representing
the most diverse opinions and inter

see that those interests are not un-

come from his Division.

If Judge Dayton had made even

Press is fair and impartial because
it is to the interest of every mem per
to have it so, and because the
Membership has the power and the
organization to make 1t so.
All other large news agencies are
private ventures, run by their own
ers for profit and with no RESPONSE
bfIity to their customers as to the
character of news furnished.
This plain statement OF facts sumo
jentIy indicates why the Associated
press reports is always looked to for
| accuracy in important matters, and
why most newspaper publishers pre-
fer it. -,
very bitter attacks made upon the
Associated Press by and through the
agency of newspapers which have not
been admitted to membership and
cannot therefore secure its news until
after publication by Others
IT will be a sorry day for the Tree
institutions of this country when
General news agency conducted on
the lines of the Associated Press
ceases to exist and the public is
forced to base its opinion of all inn
nortant matters entirely on the news
reports prepared by private interests.
IF Iudge Dayton is q good citizen
he viii recognize the force of this
en- agestion and cease to use his posi-
tion to denounce the Associated Press
until he learns something OF the
facts.

They say his candidacy is an assured

French Report Progress in Ar

London, Dec. 2S.-In Poland, where
Duke Nicholas at the Russian head
quarters, the German attacks on the
BZura and Rawka rivers are being
made almost exclusively with artil-
lery, while an offensive in force has
been assumed further south along the
River Pilica, where hard fighting con-
tinues and both sides claim to have
inflicted heavy losses on their oppo-
nents.
The Russians apparently have gain
ed ascendancy over the Austrians
again in South Poland and Galicia.
The Austrians themselves admit the
loss of the towns of Jaslo and Krosno
on the South Galician railway.
The Russian report is the record OF
series of victories from middle Po-
land and the foothills of the Car
pathians.
| The report alone records the cap
ture Of 1880 prisoners and number
OF guns and unless some prisoners

the Russians, according to their own
accounts, have taken $4,000 Austrian
prisoners since they resumed the Of
