Glenn is Anxious to Annex Federal
Berth and Get on Payroll.
Washington, Jan. 16.— Former Gov
ernor Robert B. Glenn was he.e to
day. The form.er governor said he
was on his way to fil! » lecture en
gagement and did not know when he
would be appointed to that .federal job
which he has been lookint' for so long.
He said, however, he is anxious to get
on the federal payroll and hopes he
will be taken care of as soon PS pos
sible. He declared he had not yet de-
rideii whether he would run for the
senate against Senator Overman. But
accordin;; to the present plans the
former governor h.is no idea of run
ning. Certainly not if he can get the
job on the international boundary
commission, and it is certain that he
will get it if he will have patience.
Former Senator Turner, of Wash-
ngton State, is going to resign from
the commission and rnn for the Sen
ate from that State, and Governor
Glenn will be appointed to fill the va
cancy. Turner does not want to re-
sigrn however, until March 1, and tiiat
is causing the former governor a lit
tle worry. But Senator Simmons and
Senator Overman believe they can ar
range matters so that Turner will re
sign much earlier and allow Mr. Gienn
to take the place immediately upon
receipt of Turner’s resignation.

I beg to say that I have been a
constant sufferer with severe pains
in my back and was on the verge of
nervous orarpstotnietaoin shr shshrd
nervqus prostration resulting from
kidney trouble and other complicu-
tions. A friend of mine recommend
ed Dr. Kilmer’? Swamp-Root as a
cure for these troubles. Acting up
on her advice I began taking Swamp
Root and began to improve before I
had finished the first bottle. I con
tinned its use until I had taken sev-
ral bottles and continued to improve
until I was completely ;ured. I am
hapny to say that I am as well as

Telephone Girjs Save Lives and Prop
erty.
Cumberland, MJ.. Jan. 16.—That
the breaking of the dam of the West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Company,
at Dobbin, W. Va., which sent a waU
of water rushing down the Potomac
River va'ley, resulted in no lo.ss of
life end comparatively small proper
ty damage is attributed to the signal
brigade of telephone girls organized
by the residents of tha river towns and
and to the fact that the retaining wall
at the dam gave way in sections, al
lowing only part of the water to run
down the gorge at a time.
Warning of the impending disaster
was carried to Scheli, W. Va,, the
Sr.'st town reached by the floods, by
J. G. Hanline, a farmer from the
inountasr.s, who galloped into town at
live o’ciock yesterday morning crying
“the dam has gone; get to the hills. ’
Then ha aroused A. E, Taylor, the
local tefegraph operator, who rushed
to his office and sent out the alarm,
Taylor stuck to his post until the wa
ters rose to within a foot of him.
Telegraph and telephone linemen
who worked throughout the night re
stored communication aloiu; the val
ley at down when a message was serit
out that it would be safe for residents
in the lowlands to return to their
homes.
Engi.neers of the West Virginia Pub
lic Service Commission todaj’ began
nn investigation into the breaking of
the dam. More than 70 feet of the
l.OTO of Ytjtsinijij? v/nH v/iic cixr-
ried aw33' and about .“JO feet is crack
ed and crumbling. The break was
caused by the undermining by water
of the foundations. Sluice gates wore
frozen and could not be opened.
