of the Joneses' neighbours boys:
Dear Mr.. Barker-I don't suppose Hank
will be able to work any more this after
noon. He had a severe nervous shock
he was nearly run over by a livery team
on his way from the college and is very
much upset. l think he will be all right
by morning. MRS. HANK JONES.
Barker read it owe again before he
sent 1t by the waiting boy to the col
lege for DIR. Boden. During the after
noon he burst frequently into unex-
pected fits of laughter over the routine
work of the depot and ~occasioned much
wonder among the waiting passengers,
who were apparently so constituted
mentally as to require a visible cause
in the case of sudden hilarity.
OF course the story got out. Stories
always do. But Hank was really re
formed. As he told his former tempter
Lem Higginson. "he just couldn't ever
take a drink again"
"Why. If l was only to think about
takin' a drink" he said as he refused
the sociable and well meaning offers OF
that bibulous worthy, II actually be
lieve I'd die! You can't have any idea
how awful it was"
Naturally Lem didn't think it could
be so bad as to spoil a mans thirst for
ever. He didn't think anything could
but then 1t hadn't happened to Lem.
Nevertheless you see l was right-ii

Notes From Ohio


The No. 2 mine of the Rail and Riv-
er resumed work last Monday after
a shutdown of nearly a month. No
reason was advanced by the company
regarding the shutdown and it ap-
pears that it was not the loss of or
ders that caused them to do so as all
OF their mines with the exception of
No. 2 has been getting steady time.
Edward Stanley Of Bellaire has Sc
cured the position of Machine Boss for
the Johnson Coal Company south of
Bellaire. Stanley will also be in the
lineup of Bellaire's 1914 baseball team
which is partially owned by J. F. John
son of the above named company. He
is being talked of as manager and
would no doubt make better one
than Bellaire has had so far.
From present looks it appears that
the miners are due to stop work April
the first as the miners and the opera
tors are deadlocked at Philadelphia
over three of the most important de-
-mands among which is run of mine.
The Eastern Ohio operators who have
gotten the art of crushing coal down
to q science hate the idea of giving
up this grand method of increasing
their dividends.
Some very pointed arguments are be
ing used by the operators and their
side partners the Barrel-House-Bum
Militia of Colorado against the miners
who are on strike there for living
wage but the most pointed one used
and used to the best effect appears
TO be the bayonet. If ever state
mad a contemplate graveling little in
lsect to govern their affairs and desc
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1914-03-05

some day they will probably be sorry
for.
Many miners resent the action OF
the delegates and also some of the
officials in voting to raise the salary
of the National officials : Each dele
gate from Ohio or at least those who
voted against the above named reso-
luton have asked their respective To-
Gals to send as many delegates as pos
sible to conventions.
All of the mines in Eastern Ohio
are getting full time now with the ex-
ception of very small minority and
no doubt will continue to be so up I'M
til April the first when despite reports
to the contrary a suspension is look
ed for. The Labelle Mill in Wheeling
has hundreds of bushels of coal stor-
ed in order to be prepared for a shut
down so that in case of such a con-
tingency arising they will not be fore
ed to suspend operations The mine
which supplies coal for the Suburban
Brick company of Bellaire is not get
ting full time and at present are only
working about three days per week.
This mine furnishes coal for the com
pany's use only. The No. 2 mine still
remains shut down despite the fact
that reports were circulated among
the men that it was to resume last
Tuesday.
The Pultney, Big Run, Johnson, Rail
and River mines, and those above
Martins Ferry are all getting in steady
time.

.,ruRER VOTED IN NEVADA
NAME WAS NOT ON BOOK
o.,ost in Senatorial Race Will Re-
'O" -, fact that There Were Large
Dor Cent of Voters Who
hid Not Have Poll Tax

:. seems that the Senatorial race
=, not he decided without contest.
r. ;s claimed by Judge kirby's friends
tbat there were more votes cast in
po;nsett county than there were poll
tov receipts issued. In other words,
aort;es voted in the primary in that
f.nntv whose names did not appear
the list of those who had paid
their poll tax
We have had a careful investiga-
,;oo made of 10 voting precincts in
This Nevada county, just as matter
of curiosity. and we find that out of
1877 parties who voted in those Is
rrecincts the names of AIS of that
number do not appear on the publish
ID list of those having paid their poll
tax.
We understand that this does not
mean that these AS parties were not
entitled to a vote, because if party
moves from another county to this
county after having paid his poll tax
in the other county he is entitled to
vote here if he has been in this county
six months; in that event of course
his name would not appear on the
published list in this county. Then
there are doubtless instances where a
party has moved into this county
from a state where he was not re-
Quired to pay a poll tax and has been
here one year, of course he would
be entitled to vote. OF course we are
aware Of the fact that out of this 415
there are a great many young men
who have attained their majority
since the last poll tax paying time
and though their names do not appear
on the tax books they are entitled to
east their vote.
We imagine that when the contest
in the Senatorial race is fully opened
that Poinsett will not be by herself
when it comes to having parties vote
who had no poll tax receipt.

Do you realize from your observa-
tion in travel that nothing can do so
much for or against creating a good
impression of town among travelling
people as the conditions surrounding
its railway station? With people
who do not stop at the station it is
practically their only glimpse of the
town. and for those visiting the place
the first impressions is usually the
more lasting. If we want to be a
wide-awake town desiring to attract
business and capital we cannot begin
at a better place and in a more prac-
tical way than to make the threshold
of our town inviting. The Railroad is
exerting every effort to make our
Station grounds beautiful. Let us
make the surroundings adjacent to
the depot more attractive. Do away
with posting bills on sheds and houses
near by and use liberal amount of
white wash on out buildings and fen
ces; haul off all debris and trash, and
see what big Improvement a little
