Mr.. Bartlett in his short period re-
ceived from different sources $2,244.-

LONDON, Nov. 2.--The prime min

widely heralded and much discussed
statement on the progress Of the war.
The premier's speech was character
istic one. His most important declar-
alton was that the war will be con-
Quoted by cabinet committee of
from three to five members, which
will consult with the full cabinet on
questions Of the most serious nature.
1t is taken for granted that Premier
Asquith, Lord Kitchener, secretary of

of the committee. The plan was ex-
peceted and seems in the nature Of a
compromise to NEE the criticism that

FOOTBALL AT FAIR
MONT NORMAL


Football fame throughout West vir-
ginia has been curious about the rec
ord Fairmont Normal has made this
fall. Some years ago Fairmont had
perhaps the strongest team in the
second division, but for the last few
years the Normal has slipped far
back, last year having no team at all.
Therefore the showing this year has
been all the more remarkable. The
Normal has beaten Chenille Normal,
800; Broaddus, 900; and Keyser
Prep, $40; and has lost only one
game, and that to the strong team Of
Davis and Elkins.
The explanation given by one in
close touch with the Normal is that
for several years that school has been
steadily losing its young men. Last
year about three-fourths of the stu
dents were young ladies'. When Jo-
seph Roster was elected President of
the Normal last summer, he immedi-
ately went to work to induce more
young men to enter the Normal, with
the result that number of High
School graduates from Fairmont and
nearby towns started to the Normal
this TALL. Most Of these fellows have
had football experience. A team was
Immediately organized and schedule
worked out. In one year Fairmont
Normal has almost reached the foot
ball standing she had years ago.

MILL CREEK PHYsI-
CLAN MURDERED.

DR.. John J. Kennedy, aged So years
was murdered near Mill Creek Sat-
urday night after having been in
weighed from his home on what he
was led to believe was an errand of
mercy. William Sutton, aged 20, son
of George Sutton, is prisoner in the
county jail, having been arrested Sun
day about noon, charged with the
crime. The chain Of evidence which
brought about young Sutton's arrest
indicates that the boy called at DR..
Kennedy's Office shortly before 10
o'clock Saturday night and under the
pretext that friend had been stab
bed induced DR. Kennedy to accom-
pany him. DR.. Kennedy, it is stated,
went to his horne before leaving and
told Mrs. Kennedy he was going to
Sutton's. Between three and four
hours later the dead body of DR..
Kennedy was found by the roadside,
a mile from Mill Creek by Robert
Gear, 17-years, son of Perry Gear,
who had been to Huttonsville with
a team and was walking back home.

DRYS Gun MAJORITY
in "BUCkEYE STATE"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 2.--For the
second time in two years, Ohio voters
rejected statewide prohibition amend
mnt to the constitution Estimates
basd on partial returns received up to
midnight show that the proposal was
defeated by majority which may
reach 10000. Last years majority
against prohibitio was $4,000.
Incomplete returns from 55 counties
gave the following result: For prohi-
bition 1920; against 120,500. Among
the 33 counties yet to be heard form
are several districts which are ex-
pected TO give majority of from 500
to 1000 for prohibition. Prohibition
was defeated in Cincinnati by about
10000 votes.
There was considerable uncertainty
as to the fate of the constitutional
stability amendment which would pre-
vent for six years election on a con-
stistutional proposal which has been
once defeated Late returns, however,
indicated that he proposal was reject
ed. Other constitutional proposals
which apparently were rejected were
those to extend the terms of county
officials from two to four vars and
to exempt from taxation all public
bonds.
Two laws subjected to referendum
vote also were rejected according to
incomplete returns. One would change
the method Of selecting liquor license
officials and the other would re-district
the state for congressional election
purposes. Both were passed by ARE
publican Legislature,

PROPERTY DESTROYED

The "gang" that destroyed and laid
to useless waste the valuable property
in town Saturday night is a fit class Of
boys and young men for places of con-
fincment. 1t is alright for boys, and
girls too, to have their fun and per-
sonal library on the last night of Oct
tober, but the destruction of property
is uncalled for, and only those with a
mean and low character will indulge
in this kind of savagery, to the ex-
tent as was seen Sunday morning.
The guilty parties are unknown at
present hour, but an investigation
may bring the guilty to justice.
