ONE of the best citizens of South
Morgantown was aecosted yesterday
by very pretty little four year old
girl who in her childish innocence
asked him if he was for Wilson. The
gentleman replied that he was a Re
publican and was for Dayton. The
little tot then told him another
man had gone wrong"
Col j. d. Rice, a well known citi-
zen Of Terra Alta, was held up by a
tramp few nights ago and robbed
of $1.00 all the money he happened
to have in his pocket and his watch.
Early in the day the Colonel had
$500 on his person that he had used
to pay the hands at his Wooden mill
and for other purposes. The tramp
made good his escape
ABOUT the hardest thing for a Re
publican paper to do now days is
to admit, even to its news columns,
items indicating the return of pros
perity TO the business interests of
the country and the opening of new
channels to wage earners. They have
so long and persistently howled ca
lamity that they find it impossible
to attune their pencils to the new
order

sive remarks in a few words when
concluding case of Sunday bolster
BUSINESS and high carryin's on"
He said; "If you people get caught
or if anyone else gets caught, and
come before me on charges of this

there are those who have no respect
for the Sabbath day, there are laws
here which protect those who do"
AFTER the 18th it will be positive
information whether or not the rail
road is to be extended from Browns

on this matter has been going on for
years. The meeting of the roads
directors on the 18th will decide the
matter for the present. The chances
are good that the extension will be
made. If so, then the coal develop
ment in this immediate section may
be relied upon.
4~-THr reported reduction of wages
in the Fairmont mining region turns
out to be no reduction at all Last
summer when the operators were
taxed to their utmost and then could
not fill their orders, they voluntari-
ly advanced wages five cents per ton
They did it without being asked and
because they could afford to, as they
then received better prices than now
They have simply cut off the five
cents as business has resumed it's
normal condition and the profit on
coal has been greatly reduced.
BUCKHANNoN had a $4,000 fire
last week. One entire square and a
portion of another were burned. DR..
r. L. Brown, formerly of this place,
was fortunate in having his dwelling
saved after it had ignited. The
buildings burned were all frame ones
on Main street. The Buckhannon
Banner suffered loss of 5000, with
no insurance. The $4,000 loss was
on buildings alone, the loss in stocks
of goods not yet having been estima-
ted. There was but $4,000 insur-
ance against the entire loss.

the University regents to purchase
A large portion of the northern end

erty to be added to the Athletic
grounds, the property mentioned adj
joining the present grounds. That
this should be consummated is the
present hope of the University foot
ball and base ball teams. If there
is fall meeting of the regents this
question may be decided then. 1t is
reliably stated that the few regents
who have been approached on the
subject favor the purchase.
