One of the strangest elections ever
held in West Virginia, in that the
issue was decided by about three fifths
of single vote, was recently held in
Morgantown. A special election on
the question of issuing S75O,OOO in
bonds for street Improvements and a
municipal building was carried by the
narrow margin of 6OO4 Of vote, ac-
cording to expert mathematicians, the
unusual result arising from West Vir-
gnia's constitutional provision that all
bond issues must be approved by
three-fifths of the votes cast. Three
ffths of the total vote cast would be
l,l30 2-5ths, while the vote for the
issue was 1881. The question is not
likely to remain settled by this ballot
ing, as protests have been made that
many citizens could not vote because
they had not been registered under an
inadequate registration provision, and
steps have been taken to hold the cleo
ton all over again.

New Religious Cult TO Experiment.

New Religious Cult TO Experiment.
Rev. NJ. Allen Stickley, member Of
a well-known Shenandoah Valley fam
lily, and who was for number OF years
pastor OF a group OF churches Of the
Disciples OF Christ in Frederick ana
Shenandoah counties, has gone to
Patrick county, Va, to set up a new
cult, or sect, which, IT is understood.
will live like primitive Christians
Headquarters will be at Buffalo Ridge
Rev. Mr.. Stickley and his associates
have acquired l57 acres Of land in
Patrick county, some OF it costing
much as $500 an acre, and have Opt,
on other lands in the same vicin:t
While lacking complete informatic
as to the matter, il is said that the
purpose is for these people to dwell
together according to their conception
Of the manner in which the Scriptures
require Christians to live. Their idea
is that modern life is corrupting and
spiritually demoralizing, and that the
church people are not living according
to Christ's standards. AS to other
views they may hold, little is known.
The idea of such associations is not
new, for they have existed in some form
in all ages of the church.
Mr.. Stickley will have associated
with him other ministers who will Join
the colony, among them Rev. c. 3.
Digger, WHO is both preacher and
doctor, and also Rev. Mr. Cast, both
of Ohio. The community will begin
with about fifty members, coming from
Indiana, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvan;
Virginia and West Virginia. Othe.
including several families from the
Valley of Virginia, are interested, and
the community is expected to grow
rapidly. Mr.. Stickley's family will re-
main at Shenandoah, Va, for several
months. Strasburg, Va, is the former
home of Mr.. Stickley.

Big Noses Indicate Mental Capacity.
II is traditional that great men have
big noses. Napoleon, il is said, used
to pick his generals by their noses.
To ascertain il big nose is really an
indication Of superior mental powers,
Prof. Frederick Adams Wood Of the
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
has for 20 years been collecting por-
traits Of men who have in some way
distinguished themselves and stud"ing
their physiognomy. The result Of his
investigation he now publishes in the
Journal Of He-elity
Professor Woods began with a col.
lection Of the portrats Of the worlis
81 ca'est astronomers. or these ne
four! that "a had lie Pc or long noses
To- check his own opinion as 10 the
relative size Of the noses shown in
the photographs he submitted hem 10
an associate, whose judgment was that
there were 81 large noses, % average
and B short noses.
Next he took the portraits Of p
famous orators OF England, from which
he found l6 with large or long noses,
five with average and only one small
The check opinion was IS long, seven
average and none small.
Among orators Of modern Europe
and orators of America, 40 in all he
found % large noses, Is average aud
one small And his associate founi
p large, II average and one small.
Among 10 "kings of industry" there
were / big noses, seven average and
one small
AS Who's Who in America is not il
Illustrated, he took the Canadian Who's
Who and Why and went through the
portraits under the initials A, B and
G as fair specimens of the whole num-
Der (about 10000. His own verdict
on them was 81 big noses, 1867 average
and As small; that of his associate was
IA big noses, Isl average ad 80 small.
The names in this book are like those
in Who's Who in America, those of
the men who have certainly done some
thing to raise themselves above medi-
ocrity, but all OF whom cannot by any
means be called great Therefore the
proportion of average noses is much
larger than in the lists of men select
ed for their real eminence.
Discussing the question, What is
an "average" man? Professor Woods
writes that if you observe faces indi-
vidually, and not in masses, you will
find general ugliness, nne-tenths Of
of people having some feature radically
wrong. He reproduces some pictures
by newspaper cartoonists of the ideal
lied "laboring man." and some, clean
cut, rather long nose, we'll formed and
harmonious features, and says the
rarity of this type will be obvious to
anyone who looks for it, There is very
little of beauty in the average nose.
His summing up is as follows:
The majority of great men have
large or long noses, the remainder
nearly always have noses of at least
average size. Although many medi-
OGRE or inferior people have large or
long noses, men of measurable intel
lectual superiority do Enthusiastically
have noses somewhat larger or longer
than the average size. The exception
only proves the rule. Only very rare
ly do we find great man with dis.
tinctly small or short nose.

and were enthusiastically applaud
ed.

COVEL CREEK BRIDGE-POSr
PONE OPENING UNTIL DEcEM.
Der.

Railroad delays in cement shio-
ments have thrown a brake on the
flnishing up of the Ottawa -Streator
highway on scheduled time, and the
stretch of concrete pavement from
this city to Streator will not be open
ed for use until some time in Decem-
ber The highway has been paved
with the exception of the Covel creek
hill. The G.. w. Comstock Construc-
tion company is at work on the hill.
The heavy I'LL at the north approach
to the Covel creek bridge, which must
settle a year before it is surfaced, has
been ractically completed and will be
graveled before the hill is opened.
1t is possible to travel from Ottawa to
Streator on the concrete with the
excetion of one mile stretch across
the bridge and up the hill A good
detour of three miles is made around
this stretch.
A cement shortage is said to be
the direct cause of the delay. Rail
roads are giving coal preference over
all other freight shipments, and ce-
ment mills are having difficulty Sc
curing ears in which to haul their
wares. They have met this situation
by rationing out the cement shipped
to each road builder. However, some
contractors who are building high
ways thta do not link up with federal
or state aid roads are unable to Sc
cure pound of cement.
Various ways have been resorted to
by the mills to ships sacks of cement.
Stock cars are lined with tar paper
and then filed with sacks of cement
and used. Flat cars are also used for
shipping, a big tarpaulin being
stretched over the sacks to keep them
dry.
When the latter method is resort9d
to the STATE is charged S1o0 for the
which is refunded when the ,
canvas is returned. The department |
of public works has met this emer- !
gency by informing engineers in /

that unless it is safely returned the
