Saturday was the twenty.irst ami.
versary Of the Cameron fire, which re.
suited in the wiping out Of that pros.
porous little town and the destruction
of property to the value of quarter
Of a million dollars. It is also the an.
niversary Of the wreck of the Inflated
relief train near Rosby's Rock, in
which tho engineer, Patrick Duffy, and
Frank Terrell and Richard Donohue,
who boarded the train at Moundsville,
lost their lives, and number Of 9TH
ers were injured, several Of them Sc
riously. The fire broke out about 10
o'clock on the night Of June 9, 1895. in
the Fitzgerald livery stable. The
flames spread SO rapidly that the fire
was soon beyond the control Of the
local volunteer firemen and an appeal
was made to Wheeling for aid. A spe.
cial train. consisting Of the local yard
engine, gondola car and caboose.
was hastily made up and with the Nj.
agara engine aboard the gondola,
started on It's wild run to Cameron.

STUDENT LAWLEssNEss.

CTUDENT lawlessness-trouble between town and
y gown-is old the first college. The latest out
break occurred last week at the Diversity Of Wis,
consin.
Instead of defending the culprits because they are
college men. the Daily Cardinal" which is owned and
controlled by the student body the University sharply
condemns the mob admits that the offenders should be
punished according to law and says that apology
due the people Of the state. The Cardinals editorial
runs
students, even though only small majority
must learn that law and common decency reign in
this twentieth century"
That's the spirit May It spread until Sending boy
to college for the other boys to educate" looks like
thoroughly desirable proposition from every possible
angle.

GREENEVILLE
Rev. A. w. 5uddan Speaks at Fed
Grated chureh-Business Meeting at
Third Church-PersonaIs and Notes,

Sunday morning at the $50 o'clock
service at the Federated church, Rev.
A. w. Burden delivered an interesting
address on An Answer Demanded. Rev.
Mr.. Burdens address was delivered
before an uncommonly large attend
ance. He said in part:
The question in our text is interest
ing because it is so personal, concern
ing only the individual addressed, cut
ting him off from kith apd kin, throw
Ing him upon his own resources.
"Dost thou believe in the Son of
God? Brought before him the won
derful cure that has come to him,
through strange power. He knew
that communication and reputation
had come from the Jews for refusing
to withdraw praise from the man
whom he said had done a Marvellous
thing, for no man since the world
began had opened the eyes of one born
Blind
There had come a very marked ma
terial good; that which had been given
him, made of a once useless citizen
a useful one. Once he had to be led
by the hand now he could lead others.
Once the panorama of world beauty
was closed book, but now there was
opened before him, all the vanishing
beauty of the universe, and one can
almost hear the exultant cry 'I see!
Once I was blind but now 1 see''
There was however one thing this
man had yet to learn. and that was,
that all the material advances came
from a source then unrecognized He
had yet to meet the question which
demanded an answer. Dost thou be-
heve on the Son of God? He had to
meet Christ. To know Him, whom to
know Alright is life"
If belief is to be worth while it
must be sane, and grow with it's OBJ
ject, and the object must have a prac-
teal relation to life. To fall back
upon the scientific spirit, with its
wonders, our belief in it is, because
its meetings the needs of the minds
and bodies of men, relieving the press
ing physical necessities of the human
family.
The fact that they are commercial
lied and that their practical aim is
money. Working, or that thug
thug here and there can sue the lift to
father his nefarion work, does not
alter our belief in them. We might
wish there was a less practical aim
than money making, or that men
would not use the Digit for evil pur-
poses. But asked regarding these we
would say we believe in them, because
of the practicibility for service
Science has annihaleted time and
discomfort, With it has also flourished

should be liberal in incubaters, brood
ers, colony houses, ETC.. But expensive
laying houses are not necessary.
1.-The most profitable farms show
the lowest feed cost per, bird and the
least profitable farms show the high
est feed cost per bird The low cost
of feed on the best farms may be
partly due to the fact that part of
the grain and all of the green feed
was grown at home; also, that more
range was provided, and birds were al
lowed to pick UP some of their living.
6-Receipts are greatest where good
stock is kept. that is, stock suitable
to produce for sale-market eggs,
Matching eggs. day old chicks, breed
ing stock, and market poultry each, in
eeasona BILE proportions.
7--While there are no exact figures
on average egg production per bird on
hand receipts from eggs and chicks
would indicate that high production
was absolutely necessary.
Farm conditions are necessary for
the best results with poultry. Farm
conditions allow a means of utilizing
all fertilizing material to the very best
advantage.
Labor income is that portion of the
receipts which may be credited to the
operators labor after deducting al
expenses including per cent. inter-
est on the investment.
It is expected that the survey will
be completed in about three days.
