Little Local Notes.


DR.. Morris is at his office in this
place.
The Postoffice has recently been
fitted up with gas jets.
Shipments of oil and stock are
very brisk from this station now.
1t is not probable that much
street repairing will be done before
spring.
Sam Pickenpaugh's shop is
ready for the roof as is also the fine
Snider barn near it on Long Alley
1t is thought the present term
of the circuit court will last until
about the close of the first week in
November.
1t is reported here that well
known young man of this place will
go into business in Waynesburg at
an early day.
There is some speculation as to
whether the third train will be kept
on the F., M. q P. during the winter.
1t is very unlikely.
1t is estimated that 5 per cent
of the amount of coal generally used
heretofore will suffice for the coming
winter in Morgantown.
DR.. Jos. A. McLare has removed
his office to his residence on South
Main street. Hereafter persons will
call there for consultation.
The broken brick from the Sem
mary walls have been used to ma
cadamize the street from Front to
Main and distance in South Nor
gantown.
The walls of the old seminary
have been taken down and Prof. Ma
gruder has his building lot which is
in the center of the Seminary grounds
cleared of debris.
Two of our citizens, Professors
White and jackson are largely in
terested in the oil strike at Manning
ton. We hope they will make for
tune out oft.
Very many persons are putting
down the new pavements ordered by
the council. There will be very few
places without brick sidewalks be.
fore bad weather sets in.
The first lecture of the proposed
course of the season was not largely
attended owing no doubt to the diff
ficulty of securing suitable place
for it. This should not discourage
the lecture committee.

Crime Against Children.

There are great many children
attending our public school who are
becoming addicted to the habit of
cigarette smoking.
1t is an every day matter of OBJ
servation to see young boys, ten or
twelve years old, on the street with
cigarettes in their mouths. The
pale, bloodless faces of many others
indicate that we do not see all the
smoking that is done 1t is not diff
cult to one who has observed the eff
feet of this habit on a young boy, to
detect it in appearance even if he
is not seen in the act. There is
scarcely anything more deadly to a
young boy than the cigarette. 1t
will destroy him as surely as rank
poison, if persisted in.
Now, the merchant who would sell
young boy cigarettes must be hard
up for trade. He would probably
raise hue and cry against a man
who would sell boy whiskey, while,
in fact, he is selling him a cigarette
which will destroy him as quickly as
whiskey.
If there is no law against selling
cigarettes to boys there ought to be-;
and if the statute does not furnish
one,parents ought to refuse to patron
ize merchant who would do such
thing, besides prosecuting him for
damages.
In the meantime we advise parents
that this evil is growing to an alarm
ing extent, and it behooves them to
look after their boys before they
become victims of the habit.

Court Notes.

1t is no wonder that Judge Jacobs
is such an excellent Judge. He has
splendid native talent, is studious,
and, to caps the climax, he enjoys
the proud distinction of being an old
schoolmate of the editor of this pa
per.
Hon. George C. Sturgiss closed
the argument in the Morris and
Bowlby case Monday afternoon. 1t is
a matter of considerable speculation
how it will be decided by the jury.
AS there is good round sum invol-
we'd in the controversy it is probable
that the parties defeated in this
court will not be satisfied until the
Supreme Court settles the question.
Judge Jacobs has gone to Richie
county where he will hold court for
some days. He will return here
November 5, and preside at spe-
cial term.
In the meantime Judge Hagans
will be on the Bench.
The members of the Bar here are
greatly pleased with Judge Jacobs
as well as with Judge Hagans.
An effort will be made to try the
civil cases of the Dietrichs and Sisters
this week.
There are several felony, and a
large number Of misdemeanor, cases
set for the 28th Inst.

Another Land Mark Gone.

DR.. Jos. A. McLane has torn down
the office he has occupied for a long
time, that stood on Main street near
Peasants. This removes nearly all
of what is known as the McLane
buildings that have been regarded
as land marks. Considerable his
toric interest is attached to this Of
fee. 1t was built in 1929 for DIR.
Ceilings then practicing physician
here In 1880 Dr. Charles McLane
bought it and occupied it for many
years, probably as long as he remain
ed in active practice. DR.. Charles
McLane was the father of our pres
ent eminent practitioner DR.. Jos. A.
McLane, and attained a world wide
reputation. In this unpretentious
little room he brought forth the
formula for McLane's Liver Pills
McLane's Vermifuge and other med
icines that are used to-day the world
over, that have relieved thousands
of sufferers and made fortunes for
those who handled them. A tinge of
regret attaches to the destruction of a
place like this, but the march of i'm
provement demands it. We may add
that the site of this office with the
ground surrounding it, fronting on
Main street and extending from
Main to Spruce, is for sale. 1t is
valuable property and is first class
opportunity for Investment.

We Have No Use For Adventures.

A number of persons from various
places have been corresponding with
some of our business men lately with
reference to establishing manufactor-
les. This is all very well and we want
more of it, but when some adventur-
er comes around here looking for
suckers, he will find that he has
struck the wrong place. A few days
ago fellow by the name of McGraw
came here to locate a glass plant
At first he proposed to put in 40 per
cent Of the cabital and allow our
people to take the other go per cent.
Later he concluded to be magnani-
nous enough to let them take all
the stock and he would kindly con-
sent to manage" it. 1t is needless
to say there was no trade

Sad Death of a Little Boy.

On October 5, a little son, aged
3 years, of a Mr.. Myers, and grand
son of David X. Kramer, of Fayette
county, Pa, strayed off from home.
AS soon as the child was missed the
alarm was given and search made
for the little fellow Two hundred
persons were engaged III hunting for
him at one time and every nook and
corner where it was thought posi-
BILE he could have gone was explored.
The Uniontown Standard says:
After five days of faithful and per-
sistent hunting by hundreds of citi
zens. Indian creek and Back creek
were both dragged, but not the least
evidence could be discovered to lead
to the discovery of the child until
Wednesday afternoon when Lemuel
Mathews, of Valley Mills, found the
little fellow in pond of water, near
his mill, dead. 1t had travelled two
or three miles from where it first
started through dense woods, and
probably persisted from hunger and
exposure,

A few days ago Mr.. 7. F. Brock
took through mistake what might
have been a fatal dose. At times
We takes few drops of camphor
for some arrangement of the stom-
ach. The other evening he went
home from the store, and picked
up what he supposed was the cam.
phor bottle, and took some of the
contents into his mouth, but for
tunately did not swallow it, discov-
ering it was ammonia instead Of cam
phor. The only inconvenience he
suffered was the burning of his
mouth. Fatal mistakes of just this
nature are of frequent occurrence,
and those who use medicine ought
to be careful to see if they have the
proper remedy before taking it,
and those who handle the same
should see it is never out of place
or something else put in its place.
A little care on this line will save
many moments of sorrow.

University Notes.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

The rats have lost their tails
and are now full-fedged soldiers.
Prof. Jackson's new recitation
room is quite comfortable place.
Some fresh young lads persist in
keeping up an annoyance in the halls
by practicing favorite steps during
recitation. 1t may be well to assure
them that there is critical eye on
the lookout.
Miss Morrow, our charming young
librarian, has treated her office win
dow to some fine flowers. The young
gentlemen are reading much more
than common this year. Can any
one explain this strange passion for
reading so much? Probably they
only draw the books and return
them unread.
The third game of ball between
the Juniors and Seniors was played
Saturday on the fair ground. Only
six seniors were present, DR.. Harti-
gan, Lieut.. Avis, and Prof. Hare,
filling out the nine. The game was
not so interesting as either of the
two previous ones, both pitchers and
catchers being in poor shape for
business, especially of the senior
nine. The Professors played well,
and their presence was enjoyed very
much. Owing to the senior catch
er's hands giving out, the game was
called before the fifth inning was
finished, at which time the Juniors
were quite victorious.
These games have been source
of great pleasure and recreation to
the boys, brought them on closer
terms of friendship, and on the whole
are to be highly endorsed as pleas
ant and interesting sport.
Quite number of the students
have turned their attention to foot
ball, and of late made the campus
hideous with their sportive yells at
eventide. Go it boys, but watch
those windows.
We learn from the Lecture com
mittee that Bob Burdette will, in all
probability give us the Rise and
Fall of the Mustache" about Nov. Is
or16. We truly hope this may be
true, and anxiously await further
developments.
The Parths. provided, among many
other happy changes in their CON
stitution, for optional attendance
for their fair members during the
cold and wintry weather. Dec. l,
to Apr. l. No wonder the lady stu
dents prefer this society since our
brethren across the hall are so gal
liant and self-sacrificing for their
interests.
The chapel choir proves quite a
success. Unlike former occasions
when Prof Purinton was absent, no
music, now, even when both he and
DR.. Turner are away, the most criti-
cal would detect no serious changes
in chapel. Our accomplished coed
Miss Lyon presides at the organ and
Prof. Berkeley in the chair in the alb
sence of the President and Vice
President of the college.
The reading room is very well
supplied with material of all kinds
from the youngest country newspa-
per up to the best magazine. The
students are very quiet while in the
room, and all things seem revolu-
tionized. What will not the pres
ence of a dignified lady do toward
modifying the decorum of thought

agreeable changes have been effected
this year for the good of college life
