The Same Old John.
Fairmont West Vjrginian.

John E. Freeland, who was sent to
the penitentiary for life some years
ago for participating in the murder
of Levi Starkey, ST., and who was
pardoned by Governor MacCorkle's
illustrious predecessor, seems to be
again on the way to the pen. Last
Friday he was arrested at the home
of his father, near Burton, in Wetzel
county, on the charge of passing
counterfeit money. 1t is said some
of the queer was found on his person
when arrested by the officers. He is
now in the Wheeling Jail, u S. Com
missioner G. Y. MILAN, of Manning
ton, having committed him in de
fault of 81 900 bail to appear before
the grand jury of the Federal Court
at Wheeling in April.

Railroad Reflections.

The construction train with its
ballast and the construction hands
with their shovels have been work
ing in and near town on the extern
sion for the past week. The man
who looks at them working can't
see anything in their movements to
indicate the early opening of the
road, and therefore, so far as this
construction combination of train
and men is concerned they don't
amount to nay Pauline as precur-
sors to an immediate transition to
direct railroad connection north.
What do they amount to now, since
their actual day of usefulness is a
memory, is that they keep the rail
road in repair for the contractors
till the railroad company gets ready
to take the road off their hands.
When will that be? you ask. You
shall be told: When the April
showers, that bring May flowers,
and raise the rivers and rivulets
and runs and tear up Jack generally
from q freshet point of view, are over,
the sky clears away with some idea
of permanency of sunshine, then
the railroad will take from the con-
tractors that piece of economically
wintered stock known locally as the
railroad extension. When there is
no more danger of slips and slides
-, IF road fhnv, he
company will tell the contractors
that the road certainly is now in
good condition for delivery. AS long
as the Drake Stratton Company has
the road it has to keep it in good
repair; it is to be delivered in good
repair. SO you see. don't you? 1t
would be expensive for the B. & 0.
to operate this new line which has
developed an enormous proclivity of
slips. Slips are the bette noir of the
construction department of the B.
Il o. and every other road; they
can't bear slips in any shape, and
especially do they not care to carry
them over an unusually slippy
spring. 30 tneTe you are,
And you will wait awhile on this
railroad extension. The new Feb
ruary schedule has come and still
the extension is no more of an ope
rated reality than it was before.
And you will wait quite good long
while till May. Meanwhile the
Drake Stratton Company will keep
on repairing slips and preventing
slips and by MAY there will be no
slips-and trains will run then.
That's what.
Friday a special train of three
cars containing b. q o. high mucka-
mucks came through here from
Pittsburg. Their object was to trans
fer the repairing now being done on
the extension from the construction
to the maintenance of way depart
ment OF the road. And the repairs
will keep going on just the same
but under different department,
Till May. So they say.

How Kind, Henry.

II. c. Sample, editor of the Fair
mont Free Press, was here a few
days ago, and when he got home he
printed the following screed of good
will, which would have been sub
scribed to more readily if he had
left out the "Fairmont air." which
we have not and hope we will not
have, but it's nice notice anyhow /:
1--WE were in Morgantown last
Saturday between trains and the
kindness of the fraternity in show
ing us the prosperity of the old town
was indeed generous. Morgantown
is growing and no mistake. They
are getting out of the woods right
enough. The crowds on the street
gave it a Fairmont air and the signs
of business we're visible from every
corner. There are many very hand
some business houses and quite a
number of elegant modern residences
that show tidiness and thrift. The
town lays we'll for the building of a
large city, which is slowly surely
and substantially coming"

ing Purely to SCHOLARS and
School,

On account of general debility
caused by over work, Ed Wood, Of
the law class, handed over his ere
dentials and has departed hence foi
his home at Huntington, where he
expects to enter upon the practice
OF his profession at an early date.
w. j. Holden is away temporarily
at the bedside of his mother, who is
reported to be very i'll.
The Junior class are all out OF
sorts. They have right to be. be-
causeBillyB completely downed
them at their own game. The story
goes something like this Sometime
ago the Juniors met and organized
and fully ascertained, as they
thought, who would compose the
next years Senior class. Somehow
it happened that they had over look
ed Barlow and had not counted him
on the list. However, when the per-
Torrance day was announced Billy
applied for admission to the organi-
cation, which was somewhat fatty
refused him. But this cut no figure
with Barlow, who referred the matter
to the faculty assembled. They,rec-
ognizing Barlow's abilities unhesi-
tatingly, issued to him the ere
dentials to participate in the exer.
cises, which he did with an Grafton
brimfull of good sense and eloquent
language. If you ask Billy how he
got into the Junior class, be just
winks the other eye and says moth
ing.
The members of the law class have
had an excellent opportunity for the
past two weeks TO catch many i'm
portant practical points of practice
by attending court during the after
Moons, which they have done as far
as their class work would permit.
W. B. Kittle was very unexpected.

probably not return this year.
Both literary societies adjourned
rather prematurely Friday evening
on account Of the yells of fire which
were sounding in every direction.
Considerable excitement prevailed
for few minutes, until it was aseer-
tanned that the fire was several hun
bred yards away from the college,
when every thing subsidized, though
the exercises were not resumed.
Among the many badly needed
changes that should be made at the
University, is to place all the prep
classes in the hands of the instruc-
tors of that department If the
state cannot properly equip the prep
department let it be abolished.
The most economical man in town

A MAN WHO KNOWS
Casts the Shadow Of Golden Promise
to men who Raise, work In and
Wear Wool,

A. d. Hapgood representing the
Broadhead Wooden Mills at James
town, N. Y. was the guest of friends
here over Saturday and Sunday.
The NEW DOMINION considered that
information from himas to the condi-
ton of laborers in wooden factories,
and also the changes in prices of
raw material, would virtually be
from the fountain of knowledge" on
that particular point and saw him
at the Wallace House and asked him
concerning them.
swell, wool is higher now than
last year." said he, "but that time
worn principle of supply and de-
mand has everything to do with
that. Our mills are not now run
ming full. They will as soon as the
wool tariff is adjusted, no matter
what is done. Then we will make
our prices and know what we are
doing. We are waiting. Really,
low or high tariff will have nothing
to do with the wages of our work
men. They demand a certain price,
and are SO skilled as to get what
they ask so long as their demands
are in any way reasonable. There
is no foreign competition about it.
America furnishes but two tifths of
the wool used in home factories.
Therefore, the direct result of low
er tariff duty on wool will be to
cheaper great many of the wooden
fabrics now most used. | will just
give one instance, that is, we raise
no carpet wool in this country. We
can't. The climate is against us.
The coarse, long woods wont grow in
America. The animal, you know,
becomes acclimated and the charac-
ter of his natural protection changes.
In the finer woods American growth
beats the world. Wool is going to
still rise in price. Since the decline
in prices which started in 1889 wool
growing has fallen of. The native wool
is falling off in supply and the brisk

of wool will, of course, start up ac-
lively again and until the time of
another over production, which in
the nature of things cannot be very
soon-for several years-wool will
be firmer in price. Did you ever
hear of the English Lienster mills2
Well, Mr.. Lienster is an Englishman
who two years ago came over for the
purpose of establishing mills at
jamestown. He began on plant
that will employ 5000 people. The
panic came on. Work on the mills
stopped two weeks. Lienster had
figured on the matter, and work
again began on the mandatory. 1t
is now completed, and just as soon as
the tariff bill becomes law or some
substantial indication of its piovis-
ions are made known, the English,
one of the country's greatest wooden
mills, will start The facts are that
prices to consumers will not be so
much lower, prices to laborers will
be no lower. Manufacturers profits
may possibly be shorter, but the
growers prices are already getting
higher. So much for wool. Good
day."

THE FIRE BUG.
Makes Another Destructive Visitation
by Which III. w. PrOtzman's New
House Burned,

The almost completed home of II.
W. Protzman, on the new Hoffman
road'' beyond the University, near
town, was destroyed by fire last
Thursday night. Circumstances lead
to the theory that the fire was of in
cendiary origin.
The property destroyed would
have been, when completed, a good,
substantial, two story frame house
There was little yet to be done to it
short of being completed. There
had been no plastering done, but the
windows and floors were in and it
was the intention to have moved in
to it in short time. No one was work
ing in the house on Friday, and
there was no fire around it nor in it..
The conhagration was discovered
shortly after nine o'clock and in
so short a time as to be remarkable
the flames work of devastation was
finished, though this is partly ac-
counted for from the fact that the
openings for stairways made draught
for the fire and the lack of plaster
ing made the material more easy to
ignite.
There was builders insurance of
800 on the property which will be
recovered and with which Mr.. Protz-
man will begin another house, on the
foundation. He does not know of an
enemy SO fiendish as to fire his
house, but the fire bug which infests
this community evidently burns pro-
perty from motives even less reason
able than enmity. He is not known
and is not caught and all property
is liable to his destructive, dev;lish
agency. There is no clew to his
identity furnished by this latest act
of his, but it is hoped by all good
citizens that tracks to run him down
will yet be discovered.
