Too Many Chance Schemes.

The chance, or lottery mania has
been more pronunced in Morgan
town within the weeks just past than
ever was the case before. The stores
where these chance methods of goods
disposition are conducted are among
the best, and they unconsciously,
perhaps, SOW the seeds Of the gam
bling habit in some. OF course the
mere taking ola chance on an article
is, in itself, harmless to the least
degree, but it does not always end
there with the quite young. Then
besides, person carrying on one of
these lottery schemes Is liable to in
dictment, and while the merchants
who have done these things did
them with no idea of doing but what
was entirely right, the truth is they
have done what was entirely wrong.
The wrong comes more from making
small boys interested in the devices
and their modus operandi than from
violation of the statutes, though
this is done also, in these chance
methods.

RANDALL, Feb. 5.-rhe steamers J.

unloading large quantities of pipe and
casing at this place for the Pedlar's run

More than three hundred tons of cas-
ing and oil well supplies have been ship

the streets of Jimtown arc piled full of
it and shipments are arriving daily to
the amount of twenty or thirty tons.
Several new wells viii 90 down in the
oil field six or eight miles west OF here
and it makes the citizens smile as it
means work for men and teams and will
help to bring the needful into the eouh-
try.
Mrs. Morgan l.. Boyers and Mrs. ST.

recently but think they are improving
now.
Mrs. Hackney has had a severe attack
of the grip but is improving slowly.
Messrs. Higgins, Cole, Barriekman.
Carraeo and others have been hauling
casing etc, to the oil field.
Mr.. Tats little boy who has had scar

is no other case in this vicinity. His

leaves no bad effects. All the cases Of
mumps and fever are now better.
We look for good traffic here as soon
as the railroad is running regularly.
There is fine country west of here
which will find this their nearest ship

What we want now is a telephone line
and with a ferry, railroad station and
steamboat landing we will have great
conveniences, and only 3 miles from Il

$50 Much' Abont the Extension.

The railroad extension is ballasted
south from Point Marion as far as
Collins Ferry. Last Friday and Sat
urday the ballast trains ran up as
far as Granville to fill in some bad
places that had come ont with the
bad weather. On Monday they
again began where they had left off
at the point below and are again
working this way. But few miles
of ballasting yet remains to be done
and it is likely to he finished before
many possibly within the
next 10 or Is.
The exact date of the opening of
the railroad still remains shrcuded
in the usual mystifying condition
when railroads are the subjects
being dealt with. $50 much can
be learned about a railroad. bat no
more. The so much is ordinarily
the veriest Of midget quantities. Our
readers now know that Saperintend-
ent Patton has train schedule all
ready made out for the extension.
and. that he hopes to make prac.
teal application Of it soon, but how
soon is the unanswered question.
