| The reduced fare to Pittsburg enabled
many persons to visit their old homes i'm

Your correspondent visited the sol

! on the Sunday boat the 10th inst The
boat was crowded and when we arrived
at Pittsburg berths could not be obtain
| ed for all the women and several had to
occupy the chairs during the night.
! And it looked liked war times to see
about two hundred men lying around,
some on deck, some in the cabin and
quite a number on top of the boat. 1t
began raining about four in the morning
and continued until after 10 O'Clock.
The Marine procession on Mon
day was fine sight especial
ly the fifteen girl cadets from Column
bus, Ohio. 1t was a novel sight to see
female soldiers in America. On Tues
day there were twenty thousand soldiers
in line and from the number that did not
march l infer that there were thirty-Gve
thousand of the old boys in Pittsburg
during the reunion. Pittsburg spent
thousands of dollars in decorating the
city. The arch on Fifth Avenue cost
Sll 900; and some wholesale houses
spent from three to five hundred dollars
privately in decorating their houses
The most novel decoration / saw was
the Ewart grocery house 10 stories high
covered with red white and blue UNI
brellas-I mean the front of the house
and all these were illuminated by cleo
tricity. But why attempt to enumerate
when the whole city was decorated with
thousands of yards of bunting and flags,
and at night the whole city was lighted
up with a perfect blaze of glory. The ex-
position was much better than usual and
Enne's band was captivating the citizens
of Pittsburg. They claim that Enne's
band is now the best band in the United
States. But | told some OF the Pitts
burgers that the editors of the Morgan
town papers would not agree that the
Enneis band could excel the Morgan
town band, and | expected TO hear our
county superintendent get up and de-
clare at some educational meeting this
winter that some of our little local
string bands could make better music
than Enne's and his famous band of "a
pieces.

New School In MOrgantown.

The Misses Fordyce will open a
school in Morgantown on Monday
Sept. 10, where, in addition to the
kindergarten, a full course will be
given in English, Matthew atics, Mu-
sic and French.
This will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for any who desire instruc-
ton in these branches, as both ladies
in charge have had the best ednca-
tional advantages and are teachers
of wide experience
Miss Ella spent several years away
from home in special preparation
for her work, studying music with
Dr. Fasolt a graduate and teacher
from Berlin Conservatory and French
with Mile Calame, foreigner and
fine linguist.
Miss Emma has had equal advan-
tages in her line of work for which
she has also made special prepare
ton, The most approved and pro
gressive methods only will be used,
the special needs of each pupil being
carefully studied.
The Natural Method will be used
in French, pupils being taught to
speak the language from the first.
A class will be formed for children
to which pupils as young as seven
years will be admitted.
1t will be to the advantage of pu-
pills to enter promptly, as tuition
will be charged from the beginning
of the term and it will also save con
fusion in arranging classes.

The Way 1t Looks to Him.

The editor of our sprightly con
temporary the Connersville, Indiana,
Examiner gives some of his subscrib-
ers his view of things, or calls their
attention to some of their shortcom-
ings, sizes them up, tenders a hint,
gives them piece of his mind, or
something of that sort, that may hit
some people in this community.
Here is what he says:
1t is a chronic complaint with
some people to try to cheat" every
body-buy goods on credit and re-
fuse to pay for them. This class is
much larger than is generally sup
posed when it comes TO beating the
newspaper. Men in whom the peo
pie have confidence will allow their
subscription account to pile up year
after year and then after the editor
has turned and twisted and econo-
mized to keep from dunning some of
these good men, they seize upon the
fimsiest pretense for an excuse to
avoid paying this honest debt. If
you remind him of his delinquency,
perhaps he flies off at a tangent and
gets his righteous indignation" ele-
waited because you question his
honesty. This is not right. You
are not sent statement because
your right motive is questioned but
because the editor doubts his ability
to keep the sheriff from coming in
some morning and issuing a procla-
nation that the paper will be edited
at the front of the Court House mex
morning by the highest bidder. OF
course this would never happen if
the editor is at home--in his castle
for he would possibly rebel. But
if we were nosing around the city
for stray news or standing in some
back alley, an interested spectator
of a dog fight, the fort might be ia
ken in his absence and all would be
lost. No ordinary man can success
fully conduct newspaper and spend
half of his time or more in lodging
creditors. If all delinquent sub
scribers would pay up, there would
be no need Of the proprietor of this
paper owing cent to any one The
money would be kept in circulation
This item may be considered a dur
to those who are in arrears and il yor
take it that way and come in an6
pay up, the aim will have been &C
complished.

DAMAGED BY SALT WATER.
A West Virginia Geyser Gets an Oil
Company into Trouble.

SIsTERvILLE, W. VA, Sept o.
Oil wells give boom to some sec
tions; they are also productive of
law suits. But this well under dis
cussion is not an oil well, though it
was intended to be, but it has had a
law suit just the same. 1t was bored
in on Archers Fork creek That
stream is springfield, and its waters
were sweet, cool and full of fish. 1t
was valuable to the farmers along
it's banks. When this we'll came in
with roar and q snort it proved to
be gigantic salt water geyser. 1t
ruined the water in the creek, drove
away the fish, flooded the low lands
in every direction and destroyed
hundreds of acres of corn.
The oil company refuses to spend
any more money to curb the tempes :
tuous we'll The farmers have de
cided to sue for damages.
