Social.

Mrs. James S. Stewart gave high
tea on Friday evening to quite a
number of friends, and it was a most
pleasurable occasion.
Tuesday was the so birthday OF
Thomas Rogers, and the anniversary
was celebrated in "a manner appro-
pirate to the occasion by many rela-
tives and friends at the home on
Wiley street. 1t was very pleas
ant affair.
Miss Emma Coombs entertained
the members of her Sunday School
class right royalty AT her home on
Spruce street last Friday evening,
a mark Of hospitality very highly
appreciated by all present.
A few evenings ago the Ancient
Arabic Order of the Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine. held their banquet

The Doctors Visit.

1t is usual thing for the people
to be interested in the visit of doc
tor. The people in the case we here
in propose to cite will feel as much
interest as is usual with the visit of
doctor.
During the recent session of the
county court DR.. Byron w. Clark, of
Washington, Pa, visited here and
paid his respects to the court, as this
paper noted at the time. 1t now
turns out that there is particular
significance to this visit of the Doc
tor. DR.. Clark owns what is known
as the Clark property here. 1t is
profitable property. While the old
court house was standing and during
the life of the Lazier building it CON-
manded great deal more respect
than it does now. 1t was not locked
upon as scab to beautiful square,
and its removal is the NEST desirable
of all things that can be said about
it, pro or con. 1t was in a crowd
then of which it was an average mem
Der. But change has come over
the locality. Both the old associates
of its youth have gone the way of all
things, and the Clark property i'm
pudently prolongs its days.
Well, DR.. Clark came here to as
certain, if possible, from the county
court whether he should proceed with
some contemplated repairs or wheth-
er the court would order the purchase
of the property. 1t is dollars to
doughnuts that he didn't get great
deal of satisfaction. There are no
repairs being made, neither is there
any item in the court proceedings to
show that the county's agents have
the least iiea in the world of buying.
And there the matter rests, and so
does the Clark property, in the same
position it formerly occupied.
DR.. Clark wants to sell. He is
somewhat anxious to sell. He asks
$4,000 for his property. Men who
know say that is entirely too much.
The great thing about it is that the
property can be obtained by condem
nation proceedings, and DR.. Clark
sees his property hanging between
the devil and the deep sea, with fear
constant of condemnation, and with
some chances it never will be bought.
The doctors visit has some signif-
canoe, though. 1t has caused con-
dition of unrest regarding the days
on earth the deteriorating influence
to the beauty of the public square.
If the Clark property was sure TO
stand he would improve it. Failing
to secure assurance or anything else
is where the significance of the visit
of the doctor cuts figure of consid-
cradle magnitude.
Some day the doctor will visit
Morgantown again. 1t is to be hoped
that he and the County court may
come TO terms. Whether they do or
not. the Clark r.s 2erty must 20.

Remember the poor. Let the re-
membrance resolve itself into the
substantial quality of needful gifts.
We have among as no starving peo-
Pile, but still we have some very I'M
fortunate ones whose Christmas may
be made quite merry If their more
fortunate fellow citizens would by
small tokens of necessaries thus
pour the oil of gladness into their
lives. The season for the rirening
of the milk of human kindness is
well nigh upon US, and let it not be
made narrow or selfish, for there
can be selfishness even in the mat
ter Of Christmas gifts. Remember
the poor. Not great deal is asked
for on their account, but surely now
is the time to ask it for them.

THE B & 0 EXTENSION.
Progress of the Work to this Time at all
Points along the Line,

Lane Bros. have finished their
grading contract, and now from
both ends of the line their sub con-
tractors are spreading ballast and
breaking it for spreading. p H..
Bennett has about finished up all of
his work, all remaining to be done
being some ballasting.
Ballasting the new road he'd is
quite an enormous contract. Ten
inc hes of ballast are spread on the
grade before the cross ties are laid.
The ties are put on this foundation
and ballast is again put between
them even with the top. This makes
the solidest kind of a road, and is
an indication that it is made to
stand the strain of the heaviest
sort of freights. Usually in build
ing railroads they put the cross ties
on the bare grade and the only bal
last used is between the ties. This
in years becomes fairly solid road
bed, but the extension is made on
a different and better though far
more expensive plan.
The work on the bridge across
Cheat is not moving along so rapid
ly as it did previous to the time
when every effort was bent to get
the piers and abutments above high
water mark. This was accomplish.
ed some time ago, and while tho
work is going ahead at a satisfacto-
ry rate Of progress, it is not moving
so quickly as before. The bridge
will be some months yet in construc-
ton. With every finished layer to a
pier a thorough examination is
made and put to such tests as are
possible. All these minutiae take
time, but it insures a more perfec,
and durable structure, and that il
what the road people want. TIC
bridge the rushing waters of Cheat
is big undertaking, and the con
tractors say larger piers are requir-
ed in that than in the average
streams of its width. Around the
bases of each pier wood and stone
cribbing have to be made to keel
the swift waters of that famous riv.
er from Washing away the ordinary
material enclosing piers.
Bennett q Talbot, have the
grading beyond Point Marion te
Smithfield They have several hun
bred hands on the work. They have
been retarded great deal by the
recent bad weather. On their con
tract is the big tunnel near Morris
Cross Roads. The work on this
proceeds uninterrupted by atmos
pheric condition. They work in
that in all kinds of weather. They
will not finish their grading con.
tract before spring-probably moi
before the 1st of April. The bridge
will likely be completed by that
time.
Opinion is divided as to wher
tracklaying on the extension will be
gin. tits more than probable thai
beginning will be made from here
early next month. By that time
the greater portion of the road from
here to Point Marion will have beer
ballasted. There need be no rush
about tracklaying however. Their,
will be months of work before train.
will be run through outside of tn.
time taken from laying track. The
time of the completion Of the road
is impossible to calculate upon with
any degree Of accuracy.

1t has been whispered to me that
there is disposition rife here now
to make the various offices in this
place strictly partisan. The mayor
the council, the sergeant, the street
commissioner, the teachers in the
schools, the school board. the every
thing else-all are to be Republican
according to the statements numer
ously though quietly made. This
may and may not be true. If it is
it's all right, it will do more than
all the kings horses and all the kings
men to show the frame Of mind Of
the Morgantown people who voted
wrong when the country went right
: Nov. s. 1t is to be hoped that the
Republicans will give us dose az
threatened. 1t would prove severa
things.

If you want your Christmas gifts
to arrive at their respective destina-
tions in time send them three or four
days ahead of the day they are in
tended to be received, even if the dis
tance is short. This is the busiest
titoe of the year for the express COM
panies, and every office in the coun-
try is more than crowded with an as
sortment of presents, and delays are
made in the deliveries, hence it is
best to send few days ahead of
time.

A man prominent in the affairs Of
the town said to me Monday: mo
doubt the people of the country
think they have enough to stand in
the way Of taxes Oh court house i'm
provement, but since we have put up
such magnificent court house the
Clark property makes it appear at
such a disadvantage that the re
moval of that property has become a
necessity. 1t could most probably
be purchased for from SIS, 600 to 5000
and then tear it down would give
the court square the appearance il
was intended to have. / don't think
there should be any hcs;tancy about
condemning the property" find
what this gentleman said to me to
show the feeling that exists among
the people regarding the building
which stands on the southwest cor
ner of Main and Walnut streets. II
the building were torn down, in the
beautiful consideration of symmetry
and artistic equality the small in
vestment would be approved Ii
seems strange to me that the county
court don't look at it that way.

1t is matter OF great regret that
the faculty of the University have
found it necessary to make examples
to the students in the indefinite sus-
pension of three young men. The
necessity is regretable. However the
fact of the expulsions cannot but re
feet the care that is taken to weed
out obnoxious and immoral influen-
ces. The school is better for such
care and those suspended are given
lesson they need and which checks
the mad impulses Of over confident
youth. 1t will make those same boys
better.

ALOOK AROUND.
Various Notes ON Various Topics Heard
and Heard OF.

In my mind, a. well as in scores
of other peoples the vital issue in the
municipal election will be whether
the tax rate shall stay at 20 cents
or 60 back to the old high figure Of
the last administratica-$l. 1t has
been settled that license will cut no
figure. 1t is this same tax question
which keeps candidates back. The
personality of the candidate for may
or will not be consideration. First
the people will find out the views Of
this and that candidate before pledg-
ing support, and the candidates pro-
spective are now trying to find out
which side of the fence to get on pre-
vious to announcing.
