of settlement of its affairs. The Los
Angeles creditors were represented by a
member of the law firm of White
Hughes IL Seymour, and Hiram w.

Convict Labor on Public Roads.

Down in Kanawha there is a man
named Edwards who had a great
scheme that the Gazette hopes he
will keep alive this year. That pa
per says:
SAT the last session of the Legis-
lature, bill was introduced by Hon.
w. S. Edwards, of Kanawha, provid-
ing for the employment of convicts
upon the public roads of the State.
Mr.. Edwards made vigorous effort
to secure the passage of the bill, but
the measure failed.
"We would for many reasons be
glad to see law of this character
enacted at the comiag session of the
Legislature. West Virginia needs
nothing more than good roads and
we can think of no better way of oh
taing them. By putting the hun
dreds of convicts in the State pris-
on at work constructing highways,
West Virginia would in few years
be proverbial for its good roads in
stead of its poor ones, as she is at
present.
"The State cannot afford to en-
ploy honest labor in this work, but
can afford to put its convicts at ii
and will prevent their competing
with free working men as they are
now doing. This is really one of the
most commendable features of such
a law. We are opposed to the sys
tenn now in vogue in nearly all the
States, which permits the work o
the very lowest class of society tC
compete with that of respectable la
Dor. 1t is not only calling to tn,
workingman, but unfair to his EN-
ployer. So that the adoption BY
West Virginia of a law preventing
this, will not only result in good
roads for the State, but will be high
ly beneficial to the laboring class
We hope Mr.. Edwards will look af
ter this matter at the coming SEES
sion of the legislature.

DULL AT FAIRM0NT.
Coal Business is Sadly on the Decline
in Marion.

The prospects for work in the Fair
mont coal region are not hattering.
Already large number of men have
been discharged, and it is feared
that the discharge Of more will fol
low, and that some of the plants will
close down for the winter The rea
son of all this is that our operators
cannot find market for the coal.
There are many causes that led to
this. In the first place business has
not fully revived, and the short crops
all over the west end northwest do
not give the railroads the usual
amount of freight, and they are not
nearly so large purchasers of coal as
formerly. These causes make cheap
coal, and only those mines which
have the advantage in freight rates
can afford to sell coal at the low
prices in which it is offered in the
market. This region is not alone af-
feeted by the dullness. for mines are
either closed or running on short
time, all over the county We have
confidence to hope that as soon as
there is really anything doing in the
coal market, our region will get its
share

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part Of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have arumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be trken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

GREENE COUNTY NEWS.
More About the Big Coal Sales-Gas
and on Notes.
Waynesburg Independen6

We heard that man who deals in
coal land said that he could find sale
for every acre of Greene county coal
land. 1t is a well known fact that
this county is in the great coal belt,
and every acre is underlaid with the
river vein. Thu geological survey
places the basin or dip in the county.
At the mouth of Big Whiteley the
coal drifts and comes near the sur
face and being so near the surface
would likely be an injury to the land
for farming purposes when the coal
is mined. About two miles down the
river at Browns Ferry is the basin
or dip, and the coal is $50 feet from
the surface. Here the river vein is
about 500 feet and at Rogersvilie it
is GOO feet below the surface. At the
latter place it is said the vein is IA
feet thick, as revealed by the oil we'll
drills. Some day this vast body of
coal will be taken out. Its value is
almost beyond computation, and cap.
italists realize this fact. which doubt
less, is stimulating the present &C
tive and extensive movement.
A good flow of gas was struck
Tuesday in the Cephas Bowers well
in Whiteley township al depth of
about so feet. 1t is the Standard 5
venture.
Considerable territory has been
leased in Morris township for oil and
gas. A well is likely to be drilled
at Deer Lick and also one on Elk
Commissioner Benz MiIler's farm.
Rather a good pocket of gas has
been struck in the Lantz, well, in
Greene township.

foreign paper have you ever thought
that the home paper is really the
one of most profit and pleasure to
you?
Your home paper is the only one
directly identified with the interests
of your home and neighborhood in
which you live Have you ever read
in the columns Of any foreign news
paper anything which thrilled your
heart with joy and pride as did the
item relating to your success and
prosperity, or the advancement of
your son or daughter, or the tender
tribute paid to some departed friend
all Of which you have clipped from
the columns of the home paper, and
have laid away as mementoes, to be
read and re-read each time with
great INTEREST,"
Your home paper is directly inter
ested in your welfare and the welfare
of the town. No other paper is in
terested in the prosperity of your
town. No other paper will assist in
getting manufacturers to locate in
your town, nor will they make known
the advantages of yonr town. To its
prosperity you can contribute by
words of encouragement and gener-
oas patronage. No one thing can
do so much towards the general wei
fare of town or community as can
local newspaper. Then ought not
business men and citizens generally
feel a deep interest in the welfare of
their home paper, and contribute
generally to its support.

too, in its right sense-its 'Injun'
meaning. Asked at New Haven,
where he was going, he replied: I'm
going up to Hartford to see some OF
the mugwumps. He meant merely,
some of the leading counsellors and
advisers, politically. The Indians
originated the word. With them ii
simply meant big Injun'-oomph
consequential, important, mighty big
man. Applied to party leaders and
counsellors the word was used in a
colloqually familiar but not contemp-
tous sense"

In the latter part of September light
