.ELKS REUNION
Held Three Days in the City Of
Parkersburg Passes into
History.

PARKERSBURG, June 19.-The
Elks' Reunion, the greatest gathering
OF the kind in the history of West vir-
ginia, was brought to close with a
dance and reception at Terrapin Park,
last night, at the end of day which
marked the colossal pageant which
was described by Elk authorities as
rivaling the parade Of the national or
ganlzat;on at Rochester last year.
While the city is still host to hun
dreds Of visitors, the morning trains
will carry back to their homes the
stalwart men and the handsome la
dies who have been the city's guests
In three days Of unexampled festivity.
1t was the concensus of opinion
among the leading Elks Of the state
last night that the reunion here Of the
Elks of West Virginia surpassed in
every way any re1nion of an Elks'
state association held in any state of
the union, and it is certain it was
surprising in point of numbers.
A number of delegations or parts of
delegations left the city last evening
and on the late trains last night
Practically the entire Charleston
lodge left on the midnight south
bound train, with the expression of
thanks; through Chairman of Creden-
tials, B. A. Wise for the courtesy and
hospitality not only of Parkersburg
Elks but of all Parkersburg people.

Purifies Blood
With Telling Effect
Gives Conscious Evidence Of
Its Direct Action.

s. s. s., the famous blood purifier, almost
talks as 1t sweeps Its way through the cir
culation. Its action is SO direct that very
often In some forms Of skin afllction the
appearance of the eruptions changes over
night, the itch and rednesS are gone and
recovery begins Immediately.
As matter of fact, there is one ingredi-
ent in s. S. s. which serves the active pur-
pose Of stimulating each cellular part OF
the body to the healthy and judlcious selec-
tion Of its own essential nutriment. That
Is why It regenerates the blood supply why
IL has such n tremendous influence in over
coming eczema, rash, pimples, and all skin
aflIctIons.
And in regenerating the tissues s. s. s..
has rapid and positive antidotal effect
upon all those Irritating influences that
cause rheumatism, sore throat, weak eyes,
loss of weight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
WEAKNESS Of muscle and nerve that Is gen
orally experienced as spring fever. Get a
bottle of S. S. s. at any drug store, and in
a few days you will not only feel bright and
energetic, but you will be the picture Of
new life. s. S. s. is prepared only in the
laboratory OF The Swift Specific Co., 534
Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca, who maintain a
very efficient Medical Department, where all
who have any blood disorder of a stubborn
nature may write freely for advice and q
7pccial book of instruction. s. s. s. is sold
vcrywhere by drug stores, department and
cneral stores, hut beware Of all substitutes,

KN0TTY PROBLEM
Is Whether CoIored Family Can
Hold a White Child as One
of Its Members.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June 49,
Whether or not a colored family can
hold and rear white child is leg
al question which the Charleston city
officials are trying to solve. Thomas
Watkins, coIcred, has in his possess
sion a white child, not o year old, ana
refused to turn 1t over to the hui
name officers. Watkins wife claims
that when returning to this city from
Washington, Pa, recently a woman
boarded the train at Parkersburg and
placed the child and a letter in her
lap. The letter was signed Gladys
SingnV' and asked that whoever got
possession of the child take good care
of it, as the mother was only seven
teen years old and was not in posi-
ton to do so. Watkins says he is
able TO care for the child.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL
IennIa Smith Plenic.


WHEELING, June 19.-Employes OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are
planning for their thirty-third annual
reunion at Harpers Ferry which is
better known as the Jennie Smith
picnic and which will take place on
July 80, at Island park Committees

ersburg are arranging the program
and working out other details. j. w.
Gardiner, of Baltimore, Is chairman,
and T. E. Stacey, secretary OF the rail-
road branch Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, Is assisting the com
mittee of sixty, The ladies' auxiliary
of the reunion committee Is headed by
Mrs. Albert Wall.
AS has been her custom for thirty
three years, Miss Jennie Smith, the
national railroad evangelist, will de-
liver an address of welcome and talk
on the earlier days OF her experience
with the Baltimore & Ohio employees.
Miss Smith is affectionately called
"the good Angel of the railroad men,"
she having devoted her life to the up
lift of the men who move the com
merce OF the country. Her attach
ment for the Baltimore & Ohio dates
from the time when, as a girl invalid
she made trip on cot in. a baggage
car on her way to doctor and the
railroad men suggested that she pray
for her recovery.
The program includes an address
by the Rev. B. l. MCGOWAN, OF Bal
tinlore. Zimmerman's concert hand
will furnish the music and other
forms of entertainment will be pro-
vided. A nominal charge of FIVE
cents will be charged for admission
to the park.
The railroad will operate special
trains to take the excurslonists to
the reunion. A trim will start from
Baltimore and Shenandoah Valley
points and there will be special ac-
commodations from Cumberland and
points intermediate between Pitts
burg and Parkersburg. .

HEAD SEVERED
Is Dug Up BY a Woman and a
Murder Mystery Now Ex-
lists at Huntington.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June 49,
Mystery Is surrounding the finding of
a mans recently severed head, which
was unearthed late yesterday after
noon, near the Sixteenth street road
by Mrs. Mary Alley. Police scent a
murder in the find which was partial
ly buried in copse near the road
side.
Mrs. Alley was digging herbs when
she came upon the gruesome find.
Mortified, Mrs. Alley fed to the home
of relatives nearby.
I Coroner Gerlach and the police,
after having made a thorough search
failed to find any trace of the body.
The head was severed clean as though
it had been done by one stroke of a
huge sharp cleayer. The condition of
the head led the police to believe the
supposed murder had been committed
but a few days ago.
The man had black curly hair and
was apparently middle aged. Police
are led to believe he was stranger
as no report of a missing man has
been received at either city or county
offices. >

TH0R0yGH IEST
For Oil and Gas to Be Made in
Taylor County by PennsyI-
Vania Men.

GRAFTON. June 19.-If the plans
of Harry H. Davis of Washington,
Pa, are carried out, a thorough test
of wells for gas an doll is to be made
in Taylor county. Davis, acting with
other Pennsylvania men. has stated
that he and his colleagues have taken
leases on about $4,000 acres of land
in Taylor County, most of it in Fetter-
man and knottsVille districts. where
rigs are to be put up.
The plan is to put the test wells
down through the Bradford, or Tiona
sand, which would mean wells 5000
feet deep. Some Of the wells in the
Sardis district in Harrison County are
of this depth. The extension Of the
gas belt to Taylor county and beyond
would probably mean a step forward
in the long-discussed pipe line to sup
ply Baltimore with West Virginia gas.
