A Practical Proposition.

We assume that for a very small
annual salary-say for one hundred
and fifty dollars-our enterprising
and reliable fellow citizen, John Ed.
wards Esq, would undertake to keep
the public streets clear of all trash !;
that he would cut up and cart away
all weeds; that he would scrape
Main street of filth and haul away
all garbage that accumulates at any
place within the corporate limits.
We do not know how $3.50 could
be more profitably expended than in
employing John to do this thing.
We presume that fully this amount
is expended during the year in the
same direction, but in such an ir-
regular way that more than half the
time our streets are grown up with
weeds and are slovenly and dirty.
What is the matter with this
proposition, anyhow?

How Will 1t End Z

Deputy Sheriff Bailey was jailor
and janitor of the court house for
four years. He recently put in a
bill for 5000 to the county court at
the rate of $3.50 per annum as jani-
tor of the court house and Tailor.
The commissioners refused to pay
the bill and Mr.. Bailey says he will
try and make them. How?
Under the head of "Fees of JAM.
tors" &C., the statute says:
"For attendance upon the circuit
and county courts, and acting as
janitor of the court house, he shall
be allowed not exceeding one hun
dred and fifty dollars per annum, to
be ascertained and fixed by the
county court and paid out of the
county treasury"
1t was precedent never heard OF
before to send in such bill, the CON-
missioners say, but Mr.. Bailey will
claw" a little for the money.

The Mt. Morris Dive Souelched,

Last Thursday the West Virginia
officers played sleek game on the
men who run the illicit whiskey
dive that straddles the West Virgin
ia and Pennsylvania line. That
day Sheriff Jones was satisfied that
one of the men was on the West
Virginia side when in the act of dis
pensing the ardent and then and
there nabbed him. He travels I'M
der the name of Hundredmark and
is Familiarity known as "Old Humid
red" Old Hundred was brought to
this place on the day mentioned and
examined before Justice Hayes on
State warrant charging him with
violating the internal revenue laws.
After an examination of a few wit
nesses Old Hundred was committed
to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury and there he now Ian
guisheth.
All our readers are familiar with the
modus operandi of the ranch. Stu
ated as it was on the line it was in
tended to evade the law by having
customers buy cigars on the Penn
sylvania side then presenting him
with a brass check, good for beer
and other liquors on the West Vir-
ginia side. The violations were di-
rect and it will be no trouble to send
Hundredmark to Moundsville to do
time at trade.
The nefarious practice was car
ried on without government license,
and this will go hard with old Hun
dred. His partner skipped and now
the beer ranch is only thing to be
remembered and not enjoyed by its
many patrons from the little oil ,ity.
Monongalians should feel graf
fled that her officers are the
ones who broke up the dive, and she
takes the credit for losing Old Hun
dred his occupation.

To be Made Three Stories.

Charlie Hayes and James C. Wal
lace have made an arrangement
whereby Mr.. Hayes building, of
which the foundation is now being
laid, just across the alley from the
Wallace House, is to be made three
stories high, the upper stories to be
used as hotel annex to the Wallace
House and fitted up as rooms for the
hotel. A bridgeway is to be built
from the second floor of the hotel to
the second floor of the new building,
making both buildings attractive.
Mr.. Hayes will be one of the larg-
est business hodses in town and the
enterprising young merchant is to be
commended for undertaking such an
addition to the appearance of that
part of Main street. The arrange
ment shows also that the business OF

was in the NJ. E. church the 9TH
er day and the thought occurred to
me that great big fair and festival
would be the proper caper at the
present for the rejuvenating of that
temple Of holiness. 1t is, indeed, q
sad old sanctuary and something
should be done to fix it up as it used
to be in the days of my extreme
youth. am not much given to criti-
cising church folks, but / do think
that repairs to that church are now
more needed than energies bent to
the further enlightenment of the
heather.
Change is the matter most desired
by society people, l am told. This
being true the girls should endeavor
to acquaint themselves with Zentaro
Iijima, the Japanese. He is an intel
ligent young man and has not at
tempted as yet along with his other
American accomplishments, to smoke
cigarettes or suck the end of cane.
There's wherein occurs the change.
Propositions for making his ac-
quaintance will be received until
noon Saturday; send all propositions
to me.
South Morgantown claims more
pretty girls to the square inch than
any town in West Virginia. Can
not Morgantown refute that boast.
Dear, lovely creatures are so plen-
teous in Morgantown that to see one
of our girls not attractive makes a
man throw up both hands in sur
prise.
The Office door of a Morgantown
bridegroom of very few weeks
standing had pasted on it yesterday
the inscription, marriage is not

all know, who know him and his
winsome bride that he thinks as
the sign read.
The ides of October will close the
season for ice cream, and the happi-

plete and the happiness of the young
girl lost irrevocably save for the
hope of future summers. But the
young man need not be so happy;
oysters cost rs to ice cream 10.

mite societies lately and now / hear
that the Presbyterians are discuss
ing the same topic. Well, the mite
society will be along; mind that.

The Weight Festival.
To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION.


Please allow me to say that the
Jr. o. U. A. M. weight festival, given
last Saturday night was a decided
success. The attendance was not
only large, but was composed largely
of the best families of the town.
Also permit me to say here that
was surprised to find that many who
attended this festival believed that
this order was for young men only
and from its name it was a labor or
ganization, &c. Now l assure those
who have this impression that this
is not the case. 1t is for all true,
honest, American born male citizens
from the age of 1S to As years. Its
object is to maintain the cause of
liberty in this free land, to give
Americans the preference of bust,
ness transactions, to maintain the
public school system of the United
States of America and prevent Sec
tartan interference Herewith, and to
uphold the reading of the Holy
Bible therein. 1t is not a labor or
ganization bound together for the
purpose of creating strife and dis
cord between employer and employee,
but to elevate the character and in
crease the love of each and all for
our country and its industrial inter-
ests. 1t advocates the steadfast ad-
herence to the path of virtue, hon.
esty, industry and sobriety. 1t
warns each member not to let an
honest heart and an industrious
arm and brain be unnerved and
blunted by that enemy which man
often puts into his mouth to steal
away his brains.
We think it is only necessary for
the public to properly understand
this order to make it one of the most
popular orders of the land.

Blacksmith and vicinity will enjoy
an oil boom and make rich strike.
Of their efforts to bring it about a
Waynesburg exchange says: Oil
excitement in the vicinity of Blacks
vile, is said to have become quite
active recently. Four wells have
been located within radius of two
miles of Blacksville and are to be
drilled at once. One is located on
Miracle run, on Solomon Thomas
farm; the second on lands of Mr..
Lantz, one ON j. l. Worley's farm
and the fourth ON lands of w. H.
johnson. In a few months that
section will be throughly tested and
from the way the wells are to be put
down it speaks of the strong faith
the oil men have in the Blacksville
field.
Several nice Chandeliers with lamps
for sale cheap. We have no use for
them, at Hirschman's.
WHY should not boom be the
watch-word of every citizen good
and true? Don't think we talk too
much boom, for we don't. The boom
must be talked and spread abroad,
otherwise it will fade into nothing
ness. Talk and work for Morgan
towns boom. Advertise the town,
its attractions and advantages at
every known opportunity and tire
not in this well doing. If the Nor
gantown people won't boom the town
no one will. Our duty is plain in
the boomness and boom is TO be the
word on all occasions. We deserve
a boom and can have a boom if each
and every shoulder is put to the
wheel. Do everything for your
town. We are just on the start for
a great advance and let no man re-
tard the same.

of such system, but what town
ever progressed without going to
many and great expenses? We most
certainly do care for expenses, but
we regard the sewerage proposition
as a good bargain.
The proposition to lie voted on

shake for the fire company. In that
proposition is few words in regard
to the fire company, setting aside
$1,000 for the maintenance of one.
Now what the fire boys want is a
separate proposition made of that
clause to be voted on separately
The plan as it now is makes the
chances slighter for the boys. Let
that 81 900 be voted for on separate
ballots. The fire company must be
