Fairmont is one of the most healthful cities in the state ac i-uruiug 10 a siaiemeni maae oy Dr. J. A. Jamison, city health officer today, notwithstanding the discussion of the typhoid fever caseB in the vidlnlty by leading' doctors at the meeting of the! Kiwanis Club luncheon yeBterday.1 To back up his statement Dr. I Jamison produced the records of I his office to show that only fivej cases of typhoid fever were reported during the month of July,', three during the month of August} and one up to today in this month. Of the five cases reported during July only three should be credited to the city proper as one of the cases was a person who camo here with a funeral party from Oklahoma and the fever developed the day after the person arrived in this city. Another case was that of a child who had been spending the summer on a farm near the city and was brought into town for treatment after the . disease developed. One of the ministers who came here to attend the West Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, w"as stricken with the disease the day after he arrived in the city, but the health officer says that the disease did ' not originate here as the minister was not feeling well when he j came to the city. According to Dr. Jamison only j seven cases of .fever that originated in the city have been reported to him since the first of July, and, furthermore, Dr. Jamison fey# .that he --is- ^pfldentthat .tha . nhtmlplana rs f lha nlfv ara ronnrf- ' ing all the cases. The health officer says he is at j a loss to understand the small | number of cases of fever as practically all the wells and springs inspectcd by the city are unfit for 1 use and that hts department has J placarded any number of wells ' and springs showing that tho j1 water was unfit to use. Among! the springs condemned was one| that water was being bottled outj of and sold to residents around' the city. The health department.! made the persons operating tho delivery system of the infected water - discontinue the sale of the water in the city. Other contagious diseases have been on about the same level with typhoid fever and according to the health officer the city is enjoying better health as a whole than ever in the history of the city.'

CHICAGO, Sept. 14 ?(By the Associated Press)?Members of the shopcrafts* policy committee who yesterday approved peace plans for ending the railway strike through separate agreements with individual. roads today began separate agreement negotiations under terms of the agreement, instructions to various System federation officials to enter signatory negotiations and arrange agreements with their roads were sent out from union headquarters by Bert M. Jewell, chief strike leader anil head of the railway employes' department of the American Federation of Labor. Although the shop craft executive council remained here with Mr. Jewell, to direct the affairs qf the railway shop unions in settling the strike the policy committeemen scattered to their respective district soon after the settlement plan waa adopted. \ Railway systems counted among those counted to sign the hgreement immediately or soon were said to number about fifty of the 202 class one roads V the country. Some of the larger systems ? were counted among those willing . to sign for immediate peace. The mileage affected today was I estimated at about 65.000 of the . 260.000 miles in the United States. The text of instructions to officials of system federation would ? remain confidential, Mr. Jewell \ said. He said also that union , leaders would not make public at this time a list of the roads which 1 were partfes' to the agttjSttTefrt Ttic reason for retaining the list, he said, waB because it will probably be augmented by new signers as the result of a continuous series of conferences with roads not al3 ready in the agreement. ' Any lists made public would 3 have to com? from the railroads,'' { Mr. Jewell said. Effort* fa vorlfv Unfa of roads accepting the settlement drew denials from the Erie, Burlington, Chicago Great Western Southern Pacific, Illinois Central and a large number of other roads. | The New York Central gtoup [ was one of the largest generally credited with planning to sign the agreement.

On Tuesday the executives of the clubs in the twenty-fourth' district of Rotary held their annual meeting in the McLure Hotel In Wheel ing. President Miller of the Fairmont Rotary Club attended and at today's weekly luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. gave a talk on the features of the Wheeling gathering. Among other things President Miller recalled to the minds ot local Rotarians that Rotary Inter national is now 17 years old. It is made up of 1,250 clubs in twenty six countries; is represented on every continent and embraces t> membership ot 83,000 men. The one feature in relation fo Rotary membership which might be considered somewhat remarkable 1s that during the period of the organization's existence its membership has not run well into the lmn dreds of thousands. On the contrpry'Rotary has been maintalneo at a level assuring the proper classifications and suitability of members in accordance with the business and social creed lupoh which Rotary is built. Plans to further the inter-city cooperation of Rotary Clubs were discussed at the Wheeling executive meeting and steps toward that end are contemplated for the near future. Attendance at weekly meetings was another topic of importance and the heads of all state Rotary Clubs appear to be stressing the necessity for regular attendance at the mid-week luncheons. One's obligation to Rotary. according to President Miller's remarks, is founded first upor meeting with other Rotarlaps each week. That is the starting place at which the good that a man gains through Rotary and the good he may do for his fellow men through Rotary originates. So Rotarlans are required to attend their meetings regularly. . v-president Mtllert Yep?rOf cthw Wheeling session was so'complete that there was no other business of importance transacted today. Reports of committee chairmen were held over for reading at) the next business meeting. GRAND I (EF Til I 1'eethsoon Sessions of Ancient Order of United Workmen Next Week.
