Gone, Nobody Knsws where.

Monday morning bright and early
Dorsey Slime and Percy Lasier made
their exodus from the calm and
peaceful surroundings of the Modern
Athens for that bourne which has
for ages delighted the ambition Of
many yellow-back novel reader,
of which these two were devoted pc
rusers, and they propose to fight the
red skin galore when reaching their
destination, which is the Regular
Army. These two are very youthful
to enter the ranks, but such was
their purpose when leaving. They
went to Fairchance on horseback,
the steed which bore them thither
being the old mare for which Dorsey
recently traded his shot gun.
The boys will very likely return
by Saturday night. This notion of
running away from home has proba-
bly, been in their heads for some time
and this little experience with the
cold and heartless world may cure
them for all time to come of all run.
away foolishness. When they do
return il the strong arm of friend
ship and encouragement is extended
to them they may be stimulated to
60 to work and become good citi-
Zens.

bisgustedi

The audience which assembled in
the Academy to hear the Moss Fam
lily, would have voted very heartily
and unanimously for d town hall, at
the close of that entertainment.
Two hours in that hall is enough
to make man vote his last dollar
to save him from ever being there
again. There is no old barn in the
country that would not be more
comfortable as public hall, The
discomforts of the place spoil the
best entertainment that could BIZ
provided. The close, poisonous air.
and the filthy fumes that fill the
place turn the stomach and make
headache for days afterward. Civil
lied people ought to be ashamed OF
submitting to such conditions and
subjecting themselves to the unwhol-
some and sitting effect that follow
sitting through an exhibition in such
a place.
If there is any pride and public
spirit left in this town it is time ii
had shown itself in the matter of a
public hall. Two thousand dollars
would purchase relief from this thing,
And moreover the investment would
be profitable to those who would take
it.
There can be no kind of excuse for
not having public hall. We hope
to see our young men waking up on
this subject. One short pull all to.
gether would lift us out Of the pit to
which we must resort when we would
see a public entertainment,

The Latest Railroad Project.

At the last meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of Washington, Pa, that
body recommended the Pennsylva,
MIA Railroad Company to broaden
the guage of the Washington, Way
nesburg road and extend it to Nor
gantown. The Pennsylvania com
pany has since signified its inten-
ton to act on the recommendation
and are going to build the road
The Washington people in their rec
ommendation set forth the practica-
bility and the profitable results Of
such aventure. which are in the main
the opening Of a freight route south
from Pittsburg to Washington and
the catching of all the freight to Mt
Morris, besides the advantage of the
fine coal fields, that would be opened
which lie between here and the Ma
gic City of Mt. Morris.
This road would be the shortest
by many miles from here to Pitts.
burg, the route being almost an all
line to that place and not more thar
a distance of so miles. Waynesbure
can be reached in rs miles from
here and it would take but very lit
tie time to change the guage Of the
w. w. from narrow to broad. Il
this town brings capitalists and in
dustries to it they must surely come
from the direction of Pittsburg and
they will not be likely to come until
a shorter route to that place is open
ed. The building of this road would
benefit Morgantown in another way
namely, the B. Il o. Road would be
then forced to build to Pittsburg,
and all are aware of the advantages
to be derived by us if such were
done. Then there is the slack water
making three freight routes to Pitts
burg, and what a hustling old town
this be,
There is surety that the Penn.
sylvania Company will build the
road we have mentioned and wher
that is done the b. Il O. is bound tt
follow, and then some of our most
sanguine boomers even will be sur
prised at the long and rapid strides
Of progress we shall make.

Water Works Assured.

The canvass Of the town has dem
ohstrated that at least the minimum
number of spigots required by the
Union Improvement Company will
be taken by our people, and there is
every assurance that the company
will go ahead.
Some disappointment was felt that
a larger number of patrons were not
secured. But there is always, in
every community, large number OF
timid people who are afraid to com
nit themselves to anything not al
ready demonstrated by actual oper-
alton. They want to see and feel
the thing before they know whether
they want it. And we think the re-
suit of the canvass is very encour-
aging. 1t is the positive assurance
that this town appreciates water
works and will patronize them as
literally as any other town of the
same size.
The only thing that we feel like
falling ont about is the fact that the
town is giving away this privilege
when the town ought to put in its
own water works and own them.
But the Union Improvement Com
pany evidently knows a good thing
when it sees it, and we say come
along with your water works as soon
as possible.
| The chamber Of commerce held a
meeting Monday evening in the May
or's office to make a final report OF
the progress in the canvass for water
works. Enough has been done by
the private citizens for the Union I'm.
proyement Company to go ahead
with the work and now the only
thing standing in the way is VIII thel
or not the council will receive kindly
| the recommendation of the chamber
which is that the council bind the
town to take 81 900 worth of water
annually, which amount will pay fol-
20 fireplugs, which are then to be To-
Gated at convenient quarters of tho
town for fire protection, street sprink
ling, &c.
1t may be of considerable interest
to those persons who oppose the
scheme of water works to know that
this mountain water which it is pro
posed to bring here is even superior
water to that at the gas well. This
will be hard to believe, but the proof
is to be found in a comparative analy-
sis made by Prof Whitehill
The analysis shows that there is
one grain of lime in the mountain
water to the gallon against two
grains in the gas well water to the gal
Ion, showing the mountain water to
be much softer. 1t is characterized
by an almost total absence of all i'm
purities and is by all means the best
water of any yet experimental with
Hence the desirability of getting the
mountain water
Water works is assured. Work
will be completed inside of foul
months, and then we will turn oul
hard water wells over to the mud
turtle and he can toss therein in I'M
alloyed contentment and never be
disturbed by creaking pump suck
er, and we will use our influence to gel
Uncle John Edwards the position Of
Superintendent Of Water Works.
