REAL MORNING NEWSPAPER.

When the CIarksburg Telegram Company re-
Gently installed lot of new machinery in its
plant, including the finest newspaper press inthe
state, the company had in view the publication
Of a morning newspaper, which would meet a
long felt want in this city and section of the
state, at an early date, and especially in the
event the present morning newspaper continues
to fall down in service as has SO prominently
marked its course within recent months.
The morning newspaper here has not been and
is not now up to the standard, and it seems i'm
probable thatit ever will be under it's present
management, and that fact impresses the Tele-
gram Company that the opportunity is not only
near at hand to give the people of this section
double service but also that they are Justly en-
titled to a morning service fully measuring up
to the progress of the central part of the state
and the demands of the times.
Announcement is made that the public is to be
inflicted with make-shift evening edition of
the present morning newspaper under the same
management but different name lie It reaches
no higher standard than the morning newspaper
as news gathering and circulating medium, and
the morning newspaper continues downward. Of
which there seems no doubt, the Telegram Com
pany is fully equipped and prepared, within a
few days notice, publish morning newspaper
in addition to its afternoon and evening editions
which will furnish all the news to all the people
and which will meet the needs of the people in
this part of the state completely.

Analysis of Film-magic is Highl,
Technical Matter. Says
Writer

Who was the first to say, "The
camera cannot lie?"
The Photographic record of anima.
tion which we see upon the screen is
really a composite of numerous snap

They move faster than the eye can

Thus illusion is the fundamental prin-

The analysis of film-magic that

the stop and substitution" method

THIN, DRY AIR AND WoLINs

Instrument Maker Gives Reasons for
Seeking New Location.
According to Mr.. w. C. Stenger OF
Chicago, a well-known maker of vio-
Inns. the maker of these instruments,
especially high-class violins, such as
the famous Italian Stradivari turned
out long ago, Is not lost art, but the
manufacture of these instruments Is
n tedious process in which no detail
must be overlooked by the maker. To
begin with the wood which Is best
suited to violin making must be grown
In the high attitudes, in light soil. and
must undergo special curing process
after being cut at a certain period OF
the year.
In order to insure rich mellow
tone permanently a pure oil finish
must be given to the instrument and
this, according to Stenger, is the most
abstruse of the problems that con-
front the maker. The chemical re-
action which takes place in pure oil
during the hardening process has been
the despair of most makers, but In
thin, dry air the oil will harden quick
ly and develop the limpid consistent
qualities that are necessary In a per
feet instrument
Believing that Arizona furnishes the
most suitable air for the line Of work
produced by Mr.. Stenger, he haspgone

specially engaged" for this occasion,
was the legless victim of some real
accident of the past, and for him
dummy legs were made. The rest is
obvious. The taxi was stopped just
as its front weels touched the sleep
ing drunkard, and the picture-taking
was also interrupted at that moment.
Then the cripple was substituted for
the pseudo-victim, and the taxi rolled
over it's imitation legs and removed
them neatly. The film was haulted
a second time, after the doctor had
performed his casual operation, to per
NIT the other player, whose legs were
still extant and in good working order,
to replace his substitute. The result
was that combination of grewsome
and comic effect which is often char

"THE DREAMLANDS" is A BIG

REVIEW.

Built on Vaudeville lines, is good
line to use in connection with an ex-
PLANTATION of the calibre of the big
Dreamland" Company, which comes to
the Empire, at Toledo, next week. AS
you all know, a burlesque show is not
burdened with a plot. The people
wouldn't tolerate story unless it was
a funny one. That's why "The Dream

nonsense. One "Durned" laugh after
another. 1t takes wise man to be a

.FERN|NAND'S ACCESSION MARKS
CHANGE IN ROUMAN|AS DEST|N|ES

LONDON, Oct. 13.-(SpeciaD-
The death last week of King Charles
of Roumania and the access of his
nephew, Ferdinand, probably will work
an important change in the destiny of
the little country.
King Charles was Hohenzollern, a
German of the Germans, distant
cousin of the reigning Prussian fam
lily. All his sympathies were pro- Ger
man. In the present war, he sought
to place Roumania on the Austro- Ger
man side, and failed only because
public sentiment in Roumania was too
strongly in favor of the allies.
The new king, while also of German
blood, has always stood in the most
friendly attitude toward Great Brit
ain. His wife, the new queen, is a
daughter of the British Duke of Edin-
burgh, and the royal children-who
are, perhaps, the most beautiful and
promising of all Europe-have spent
as much of their time in London as in
Bucharest.
In view of King Ferdinand's friend
,ly attitude toward England and Rou-
manian public sentiment favorable to
the allies, England no longer regards

TOLEDO THEATRES
At the Valentine

Three attractions, each unique of
it's kind, will be offered to playgoers
at the Valentine Theater, Toledo, next
week. The program is unusually vari-
ed.
John Bunny, the fat and jolly star
of motion picture comedy, will start
the ball rolling when he presents him
self, in the flesh, at the head of go
people in a new musical comedy,
Bunny in Funnyland." Performances
will be given Sunday and Monday
evenings and Sunday matinee.
Bunny's face is probably the best
known in the world, as his antics in
front of the moving picture camera
are big drawing cards all over the
globe. Few people, however, have
seen the rotund fun maker in real
life, although he put in nearly 30
years on the stage. His legitimate
work was confined to comedy and
character parts in the productions
sent out for great players. This linn
tied the number of people who could
attend.
Bunny is now making his first tour
in person since he made his enormous
success in the movies. Packed houses
His company and show are pleasing
both to the public and to the critics.
The Valentine will be closed to the
public Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
On Thursday night the famous Ger
man stock company of Cincinnati, will
pay its annual visit to Toledo, playing
cne German military comedy, The
Dancing Hussars." Friday night the
Valentine will be dark.
One of the biggest dramatic offer
ings of the season, possibly the big
gest, will be the appearance of Miss
Maude Adams for one performance
Saturday evening, Oct. 81. Miss
Adams will present her new j. M. Bar
rie play, "The Legend of Lenora.'

guarantee of the merit of the enter
tainment,
