felt in Indiana, but ii viii reach here
within the next few days. for some
of the trains abolished are through
trains. running between eastern points
and Chicago or ST. Louis over the main
railroads. Many others OF the abolished
trains. however. were local trains run
ming out from such places as New York.
Philadelphia, Boston and otter cities.
and they viii have no effect on Indiana.
Whether Indiana railroads will abolish
any local trains is not vet known. but
Il is believed that they will do away
with some of them. In many parts Or
Indiana interurban roads are in shape
to handle a large part Of the local
traffic. and this may induce the rail-
road management TO take on some Of
their trains and use the engines for
freight work.
The freight congestion in Indiana
is not regarded az serious. and BY di-
vetting sufficient number or engines
from western roads that are not busy
To- central and eastern roads that are
busy il IL believed that the railroad
management will soon be able to re-
lieve whatever situation has arisen

After weeks of hard fighting
Gin the open," the fortunes of

boy to a German rest camp in
France which he describes as fol-
lows:
"This camp was composed of
numerous little bungalows. They
were very pretty, with the
fences, gardens, and flower boxes
which surrounded them. They
contained stoves, desks, beds,
carved chairs and lounges, cut
glass lamps, and every other thing
imaginable. The furniture in
many of them was home made
and stained. 1t was wonderful
work and very beautiful. In the

THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

More than two hundred resi-
dences in Madison have been qua
rantined since the new outbreak
Of the influenza epidemic.
Health officers are regarding the
mixing of people in crowded
places during influenza times as
very dangerous.
If people would come to realize
that fact and keep away from
crowds the health authorities
would be greatly helped in
stamping out the epidemic
A week ago the new cases Of
influenza reported averaged about
% daily. Beginning Saturday the
number has decreased one-half or
so.

THE RACE PROGRESSING IN
WEST VIRGINIA
Special to the Blade.


Charleston, w Va.-When the
West Virginia Legislature con
venes in January for the 1919
session, three colored men will
take seats in the lower house. This
excells the record of any state
since the days of reconstruction.
The successful candidates, NOM
mated in primaries and elected on
the Republican ticket are j. Y.
Coleman, of Fayette county, form
erly postmaster at Kimberly, nov
engaged in the production of coal !;
II. ). Capehart, Of Mcdowell coun-
ty, an attorney at law; and T. q.
Nuttor, former grand exalted
ruler Of the Elks, at present grand
chancellor of the knights of Ply
thias. Mr.. Nutter is also an at
torney.
Both Fayette and Mcdowell
countie have had colored legisla-
tors before, the former three and
the latter one, but at no time has
there been more than one Colored
representative in the Legislature.
: The nomination and election of
these men is considered remark
able for the fact that in none of
the counties which they represent
is there a majority of Colored vo-
tiers, the per cent in Mcdowell be-
ing 81, Fayette % and Kanawha
