The Weston Independent and the
Parkersburg State Journal are still
qufbbling over the birthplace OF
Stonewall' jackson. In answer to
. a request for information from the
Parkersbufg newspaper as to whether
jackson was born in .Clarksburg or
at Parkersburg, the Independent says
1t will require an older person than
Its writer to answer knowingly. 1t
INDUCES in the assumption, however,
that Jackson would not likely have
gone so far away from his home and
folk to be born at an out of the way
place like Parkersburg.
In response to this sally, the Park
ersburg State Journal declares it is
not too late to settle the matter au-
thoritatively. "lf the old hero" it
says, first saw the light of day in
Clarksburg, as seems to be generally
believed, a number of people ought
still be able to verify it."
For the purpose of easing the souls
OF the Parkersburg editor and few
other persons in that city who have
been led to believe that "Stonewalli'
Jackson was born at Parkersburg in
stead Of in Clarkshurg, some one
hereabout who can verify his birth
place should do so. II not, the Park
ersburg State Journal is liable to
come to Clarksburg and steal that
monument local people propose to
erect here to the memory of the war
rior.

FORMAL OPENING
of the Empire Laundry Co.'s
New Plant is Held and about
5000 Are Present.

The Empire Laundry Company's
new plant on West Main street was
formally thrown open to the public
from 1880 to 1890 o'clock Tuesday
evening, and about 5000 persons
awaited themselves Of the opportunity
to see the finest laundry plant in the
state in operation. Every machine
was in full operation and the visitors
we're shown each process that the
clothes go through.
Selected musical programs were
rendered by two .orchestras and two
Victrolas. The guests were met in
the main Offices by the wives of the
company officials, who presented car
nations and coin purses as souven-
irs. The guests were then ushered
into the private c.lces where they
were met by the officials Of the COM
pany.
The evening was well spent by all
who attended as, besides being enter
tanning, it was very educational.

Bryanisn, too Toucby

Sensing the fact that it was Gin
bad with the present administration
the Military Order OF Carabao at
Washington has abandoned It's annual
dinner because the members agreed
that they couldn't have fun without
committing some grave indiscretion.
This Cardiac banquet, the society's
annual event, was formerly an event
Of the first rank In the city's winter
season. It was decided several weeks
ago TO hold the dinner December ~
and to leave out all allnsionssto the
administration, fun making having
caused all the trouble last season.
Authentic reports, however, reached
the officers OF the society, that tlle.e
would be trouble II the banquet we've
held, hence the recall Of the invita-
tions.
1t has been generally believed that
the source Of the trouble at re last
banquet was the singing Of the song
OF the society, Damn, Damn, Damn
the Insurrectos," but 1t now seems
that far more serious affront to the
present regime was the battleship
"Pifie," which was feature OF last
years banquet, and was construed by
the administration to mean an af-
front to Secretary Bryan.
1t Is the opinion OF those cognizant
! OF military affairs in Washington,
that it is rather unfortunate that a
sedate little after-dinner program
was not arranged for this season de-
picting Funston's retreat, the Gun
friendly, but not hostile shots at the
Tennessee's launch, and the hilarity
in the officers mess aboard the coun-
ltry's battleships.

When the bronchial tubes are az.
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and sem
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inAamma.
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven Its
worth for forty years is Scots EmuL
sion. It drives out the cold, which
is the root Of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know ar, afflicted friend, always ne
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

BUBBLING WE'LL ROAD.

1t is an easy thing to talk about
cosmopolitan society; a Very hard
thing to find it. Your Englishman
fondly imagines he enjoys 1t in Lon
don when over his kippered herring
he reads the list of guests at an am
bassador's ball-a list representing
all the nations of the world. In a
lesser way Washingtonians have the
same concelt, and the New Yorker
proudly tells his little tale about
having more Jews than Jerusalem
and more Irish than Dublin"
All such claims are founded on
the truth, and in all these cities all
nations are represented, but the
trouble. is that the representatives
rarely see each other and never know
each other.
, All that is different on Bubbling
Well Road. In the afternoon bet
ween tea time and dinner. the whole
world drives on Bubbling Well Road.
There is the pith helmet OF the Eng
lishman abroad; the green tyrolean
hat of the German soldier of COM
'merce; the sugar loaf of silk apper-
tanning to the male retaiter of that
dear Paris and tho caucy straw hat OF
the Yankee. All the world is driving
in Bubbling Well Road on any after
noon. That is all of the aristocratit
world. The wife of a Briton who has
won knighthood and the collarsof St

A Pinhead

Congressman NJ. NJ. Neely exhibits
himself as a politician of the pinhead
order in giving the announcement of
his appointment OF William w. irwin
as postmaster OF Wheeling to single
Democratic newspaper in that city
and in refusing to give out the in
formation to newspapers of opposite
political faith or to newspapers else
where.
It possibly may not have occurred
to Mr.. Neely that as member of
Congress from the First West yir-
GINA district he is supposed to rep
resent all the people of his district
instead of favored few. The recon-
mendation of certain person for the

4 HUNDRED GERMANS TO THE
M0UTHFUL.

No person travelling on an inter-
state common carrier will hereafter
be compelled to swallow more than
one hundred bacteria with every Gu
bic centimeter Of water that he CON
sumes while en- route. This safe
guard to the public health is con-
tanned In a recent PRONUNCIATION OF
the surgeon general of the public
health service, following careful
study OF the drinking water sup
piled to passengafs on common car
riers, by a federal commission.
The average layman, who regards
q bacteria as a deadly little monster,
is apt to think that IL he is going to
be permitted to swallow hundred
OF them with every mouthful OF
water, he might Just as well swallow
few thousand and make a good lob
of It. This. however, is not the case.
"A healthy organism can easily throw
off a limited number of bacteria and
they are dangerous only in very large
numbers.
Most persons drink great deal Of
water that contains more than a
hundred bacteria to the cubic cent?
meter; and IN setting standard for
common carriers, 1t is necessary to
take into account. the fact that they
are compelled to obtain the water
from all sorts OF sources, and that
they cannot be put to the expense
of purifying it without extra com
pensatioH Also, there Is much more
probability that a modern standard
will be lived up to and the report
of the commission intimates that the
standard will probably be raised as
facilities improve.

OIL AND GAS


In the whole eastern oil field. there
Is scarcely a district that is supplying
enough new production to meet the
decline in the oil wells. Unless there
Is. a decided Improvement during the
winter months-a thing not likely to
occur-there will be a shortage OF
crude of the Pennsylvania grade by
next spring. This should bring about
a higher market and again revive
operations in the old fields.

was that one Republican newspaper
