GOLDEN EAGLE


William johnson killed a beautiful
specimen of the golden eagle on the
e. w. st. Clair farm, about five
miles from this place, few days ago.
johnson was out hunting for squirrels
and saw the bird light in tree. He
did not know just what it was, ex-
cept that it was a monstrous fowl. He
shot it. The shot brought it to the
ground, but did not kill it outright,
and when johnson went up to it the
eagle showed fight and snatched saw
agely at the hunter with its beak and
and great claws and its Tapping
around made great connection. 1t
soon died.
Not knowing yet exactly what it
was, Johnson measured the bird. 1t
was feet inches from tip to tip of
wings.
The big claws and large beaked head
were cut off and the tail feathers pull
ed out and the carcass left for several
days where it fell, until the interest
of several people suggested that it be
put in the hands of taxidermist,
but it was then too late-the head was
gone and modification had alrady set
in. 1t was beautiful specimen and
that it was not utilized is very much
regretted by johnson as well as many
Others who saw it.
There was considerable surprise or
wonder, that an eagle was killed near
here. But natural history shows that
the golden eagle is not denizen of
any particular cline especially, but of
North America in general. A pair of
them is likely to be seen in any sec
ton. When young they mate, and it is
mating for life. The newly mated go
off great distance and set up house
keeping invariably in a new land to
them. No two pairs are within fifty
miles of each other They have no
neighbors of their kind and their home
is liable to be any place. They are
not very prolific, but when they raise
young they start them out early in
life, the males in one direction the fe-
males in another. These keep on in
their fight until they meet others
which will he flying around at the
same time--when they pair and then
seek home. Passing birds have des-
perate encounters with males already
established in home, and the victor
keeps on living with the female bird
which had been there. The one kill
ed by johnson was evidently settler.
His place with the mourning wife
bird will now be taken by another and
stranger.

i BOARD WALK
To the Pump Station is new being Built
by Order Of South Morgan
towns Copntif.

The citizens in Stringtown and the
pump station neighborhood are jubi-
liant. They begin the new year with
fair beginning made ON board walk
and with bright prospects for its early
completion to the Cobun's creek bridge.
1t was months ago that the NEW
DOMINION pointed out quite clearly TO
the Council of Sonth Morgantown that
it would be an act of simple justice to
build walk from Hogue's to the
pump station of the Standard Oil
Company. 1t was shown that the
people living in the Stringtown portion
of the municipality and those contigu-
Gus to the station, were paying town
taxes for which they received no es-
pecial benefit. Also that the Stand
ard OH Company pays large sums into
the town treasury on its real estate,
and that these receipts justified expen-
ditures in the shape Of good board
walk up at least as far as the station.
Some weeks ago an appropriation was
made to build walk up there. Since
our last Issue the work on the walk
has had beginning.
The walk is to be considerably over
a mile long. 1t has now been compile
ted from the forks of the Kingwood
and river roads to Aaron Smiths. 1t
is substantial walk two feet wide.
There is trestle over the dashing little
water branch crossing the road at the
cemetery lot. John +. Price and CART
Reay constitute the committee having
the work done They now have ma
terial placed to complete ii all the way
to the station. When 1t Is completed
to the south objective point this end
will be extended on down as far as
Hogues. 1t is built on the west side
of the road.
The new walk answers all demands.
1t is all right for the purposes intend
ed. 1t will prevent many stick in
the mud this winter. tits being built
at just the right time. A little later
would be too late to save the people
up that way from muck and mire.
Hurrah for South Morgantown's Coun-
Gil.

THE LAST LICKS
Being Made on the Railroad Bridge at
Point Marion and the Road will
Soon be Finished.

The railroad bridge at Point Marion
is all in position. To the. eye it APP
pears completed structure, and prac-
tically it is. But there are some weeks
of work to be done on it yet. There
are ties and rails to lay and hundreds
of small rivets and big bolts to be
clinched and screwed in their proper
places. The pierce of the bridge were
put up without being substantially
riveted together To place the spans
first was the object. Now that this
work is completed the next thing
and the best thing-to do is to put
in the rivets. These rivets are put in
to stay forever. The heads are heat
ed, pushed through and then beaten
out solid and fast and sealing tight
the structural pieces through which
they pass. This riveting is the most
tedious work done on the bridge. 1t
will yet be some time before it will be
finished.
The construction train has not yet
crossed the bridge. 1t will make trips
over 1T, however, before all the rivet-
ing is finished and begin hauling the
cinder ballast to be used on this end
OF the line, and this work is likely to
begin within a very few days. The
construction train crew will then lay
over at Point Marion and work on the
track in this direction, so that they
Will have a good track to run on all
the time. The construction train will
cross the bridge next Monday. The
ballasting will be completed some
time in February, or about March.
The B. & 0. company will then be
in a position to decide whether to run
trains on the extension, or just when
it will be deemed expedient that
they shall be run. As yet there has
been no such decision. What the B.
& O. company will be able to do and
what the B. & o. company shall de-
eide to do are two entirely different
and distinct propositions. Before the
road will be in readinesf to have trains
run over it we all may know what is
the decision as to running them, but
we do not know now and it is waste
of words to make the pretence that
such knowledge Is definite and public.
The New DOMINION will be in posi-
ton to state the company's decision
ON this matter when it is made--and
that must not be long time from now.

HIRSCHMAN'S.

A DAIRYMAN was recently heard to
declare that one good bundle of fodder
cut up was worth just as much as three
fed in bulk to cows and other cattle.
He claimed that about all the susten-
ance had in corn fodder, was to be
found from the ear down, and that
cattle would never eat this part of a
cOrn-stalk unless it was cut up into
inch lengths or Whereabouts in good
feed cutter. If this be true, the pres
ent would be good year for our
farmers to invest in feed cutters, that
is II they have live stock enough left
on the farms to experiment with.
CONSIDERING the prevalence of the
grip it is well for school teachers to
bear in mind the following sugges-
iions: They should be careful in open
ing windows IN school rooms. They
should never open them in way to
cause rush, OF cold air over the schol-
ars. The temperature of the scholars
also varies. Some can stand cold
draugfts and others can't. This Is
also a matter that must not be lost
sight OF. Teachers who are moving
about and whose blood If kept warm
by their activity must not make the
mistake that the scholars who are
kept in their seats and are physically
inactive, can stand as much cold air
as they themselves. Half the colds
taken by scholars at school Is through
the imprudent throwing open OF win
dows BY the teachers.

 WASHINGTON. Dee. 24.-The capitol was practically deserted today. Only few rambling sight-seers, the capitol police and now and then a stray sena- tor or representative awoke echoes of it's spacious corridors.
 The charm of the festivities of Christ mas at home was a magnet that had drawn every one who could leave from the congressional grist mill. Only mem bers and senators from the far west and those whose families are in Washington remained here. Several of them were at their desks for short time today, examining their mail, but they had put their congressional labors behind them and matters congressional were in state of suspended animation.

AN ARDENT LOVER.
The kmorouS Adventure of Jesus
 Maria OuihuiS.

Jesus Maria Q1ihuis is an ardent lover aud in jail. All Sunday night he was out On serenading expedition, Early yesterday morning, with the other serenaders, he stopped 8! the house of an acquaintance in South Phoenix, where he met his inamorata, and, more's the pity, he met her mother.
 Senor Quinuis, enlivened by the music which he had been instrumental in creating, was exhuberant and in high feather. He did what he would not do in amid more serious surround ings; That, for instance, he would not have done yesterday when the stern eye of justice impersonated in Colonel Johnstone vas riveted upon him.
 That is he attempted unpardonable familiarities with the young lady. When her mother interfered in the in. terest of propriety, Sef1or Quihuis land ed on her cheek with sufficient force to level her with the ground and propa- gate lump as big as goose egg. He was arrested by Constable Garfas and all of this came out at the trial. He was sent to jail for fifteen days.

CHINESE BANQUET. Appreciative Pupils and Grati- fled Teachers. A Pleasing Incident in the History of the Night Schoolfor
 Chinese.

Something happened at the Creamery last night which enlisted the sympathy of about eighty Americans with China in her quarrel with Japan.
 A little more than year ago several Christian young men and women, men, beis of societies of various city churches opened a night school for Chinese. They were prepared for great deal of apathy upon the part of their pupils and were pleasantly surprised to find from the very outset that their efforts were understood and fully appreciated.
 The ten Chinese who joined at the beginning rented & room on First street between Adams and Monroe. The number of pupils rapidly in- creased and considerable proficiency was attained in the study of elementary English, and even mathematics, the bugbear of Chinese students, was taken up. When the warm weather came on the school WAS temporarily discontinued but the pupils kept the rent paid up during the summer months so that when the school was opened in Septem- Der it had comfortable home.
 There are now thirty pupils enrolled and they come from the best Chinese, the merchants and restaurant-keepers, who have been weaned away from a natural, and it may also be said, na- tional tendency toward the ambling table. The instruction is also of a semi-religious character, eemi-religious in the sense that it is not denomina- tional.
 But all this is preliminary to the event at the Creamery last night. The Chinese pupils decided to give their teachers and all others interested, actively or passively, in the night school, banquet: At half. past 8 o'clock the tables of the Creamery were laden with every good thing that belongs to the Christi mas season. They were decorated with miniature Christmas trees, from whose taper-llghted branches were pendent articles of Chinese ornamentation.
 Never was banquet in Phoenix more thoroughly and honestly enjoyed than this one by the self-sacrifcing young men and women in whose honor 1t was given. But their enjoyment was no keener than that of the broad-smi!iug Chinese walters who skurried along the tables to replenish empty plates and coffee cups and to anticipate the wants of the guests. ss
 At the close brief address was de- livered by Mir. H. A. Diehl, whs has been foremost in the mainte nance of the school, and by Rev. Mir. Mckinney and representatives from the various church socities. Every speech was received with loud applause on the part of the pupils who had assembled at one end of the dining room. The expected reward of the teachers was the good which they hoped might be accom- plished and the appreciation of their pupils.
 The manifestation last nigh. WAS a big installment of their pay.

THROUGH THE LINES"
Successful Production of the Great
 Military Drama.

Local talent assisted by an imported artist or two presented last night at the opera house the great military drama Through the Lines." The hall was fairly well filled when the curtain rose and before the beginning of the second act by the arrival of various Christmas tree exercises was quite crowded.
 The play ran along smoothly from be- ginning to finale and 30 even and skill ful was the work of the players that it seemed scarcely credible to many of the audience that the everyday friends of their everyday walks and rides were the artists of the evening. It was all evidently tine result of careful framing and rigid rehearsal. The characters had nearly all learned their parts per fectly and recited their lines with con- idence and ease. Applause was given freely, but only when richly deserved. The audience, while quick to recognize really merltorious piece oi acting, dis played no manifestations of favoritism. To enumerate those who acquitted themselves with marked credit would be to mention the entire east. Here are the names of those who did espe- cially we'll: Miss McMullen and Mrs. Cooley, Mess1s. Kelum, Wickham, Pembroke, Ziegenfuss. Miss Harrington, and Messrs, Peoples, Reinhart, McNair and Prescott. The music of the orchestra was excellently rendered and singing of the quartet pleased the crowd to the point of liberal applause. The same company will put On Henry Irving's masterpiece.
