MT. LAKES TWIN SISTER.
Somewhat Younger But Not Less Beau
tiful.

LoCH LYNN HEIGHTS, Aug. 5.-This
new summer resort just opposite and
part of Mt. Lake Park needs no further
introduction to the people of Morgan
town as a number of its best citizens
have been or are here testing the merits
of the place for themselves.
This place has developed since last
year far beyond the expectations of foe
or friend.
Streets have been cleared and graded
handsome homes have been built, bust
ness houses have been put up, a fine
hotel elegant in all of its appointments
has been open for six weeks.
Everything about the hotel is neat,
attractive, homelike only as Mrs. List
can make it, The sitting rooms and
parlors are spacious and elegantly fur
nished. The dining hall, not the least
feature about summer resort, is charm
ing in all its details, its homelike round
tables laden with the best of china, cut
glass and silverware. Its viands are
nicely served.
Morgantown will be especially well
coined as Mr.. Wayne Wiley is one of
the clerks who will take delight in max
ing them feel at home.
As an evidence that Morgantown APP
preciates this hotel the following have
been here recently, and some will be
longer while others are expected. Dr.
J. W. Hartigan and daughter, Prof. w.
P. Wiley, Mr.. and Mrs. JIM. Bell, Mrs.
w. C.McGrew, daughter and son James,
Mrs John A. Myers and daughter, Mrs.
Geo. G. Hayes, Miss Bette Mcclure,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Woods, Miss Louise
Houston.
On next Friday and Saturday another
opportunity will be given to purchase
lots at very low rates on easy terms
Since Loeb Lynn with its fine hotel and
numerous homes already built is an as
sured success large numbers are ex-
pected. Those buying lots will have
price of round trip refunded.

Lived Like Brutes.

The Clarksburg Telegram says
Prosecuting Attorney Linch has
caused the arrest of Bill Siders and
his daughter, Matte Siders, for a
very serious offense, They were Civ
en- hearing before Judge Riley, who
held them to await the action of the
grand jury. 1t appears that Siders,
whose home was on Katy Lick, not
far from Sardis, had abandoned his
wife about q year ago and com
menced improper associations with
his daughter. However, his wife
and several children still lived on
the same premises. The man, who
is about 60 years of age, and the
girl about 20 are both in jail. The
entire family, however, are repre-
sented to be weak minded and al
most idiotic. They lived like brutes
and are hardly accountable as hu
man beings.

A lively horsewhipping affair took
place on the streets Thursday. Tom
Woody was the victim and W. c.
Mccormick the punisher 1t appears
that Mccormick blames Woody with
stealing sack of -four from his feed
store. He met Woody and treated
him to a lively dose with a black
snake whip. He then compelled him
to go to Jacoby to whom the flour
had been sold and bring it back.
Woody says Mccormick made a
mistake in the thief, that another
man took the flour and sold it to ia
coby.-U njontolon Netos Standard

Went Wrong When He Hit Fairmont.

The Fairmont Free Press says:
Last Tuesday night Justice Fisher
was awakened from his slumbers by
Lowry Google, who wanted a war
rant for the arrest of Charles Furge-
son on the charge of stealing a set
of harness and cart. Furgeson had
horse that Jack Jenkins had given
him and all he wanted to make the
turnout complete was what he was
accused of stealing. He is also
charged with cruelty to animals, as
the horse had large sore on its
back that you could run your fist in.
At the preliminary trial next morn
ing Furgeson said as he had no
counsel he would defend his own
case and that he could do it better
than any lawyer. The cart and har-
ness were recovered but no owner
can be found for the nag. Justice
Fisher committed him to await the
action of the grand jury. The pris-
oner carried a note book, which
showed that he had visited Ken
lucky and Morgantown.

REV. JAS. A. SELBY
Affectionately HOnored by the Memb ers
Of His Charge.
Wellsville, Ohio Union

If ever pastor had occasion to
feel proud of the love and esteem en-
tertained for him by his congrega-
ton Rev. j. A. Selby is that happy
man. He was given a voluntary en-
tertainment Tuesday evening at the
residence of W. S. Denslow by the
people he has so acceptably served
for the past six years
That this demonstration was vol
untary by his devoted flock there is
not doubt as no one was more sur
prised than Mr.. Selby himself when
he was really decoyed into attends
ance. He was not only astonished
but amazed when be stood in the
midst of over two hundred and fifty
of his membership which had assem-.
bled to do him honor. OF course as
soon as the occasion dawned upon
him his great heart swelled up with
gratitude as it was an unmistakable
evidence that reciprocity of love and
sentiment existing between preacher
and people.
Then began the hilarities of the
occasion. Social confab, singing, ice
cream and cake were INDUCED in to
the hearts content by all present
without let or hindrance, and were
such entertainments INDUCED in, in
closer touch and sentiment would be
the feeling of love and harmony be-
tween pastor and people.
just before the close of this sur
prise entertainment, as if not enough
had been done already to insure Rev.
Selbv of the love and esteem which
his people bore him, through Messrs.
W. S. Denslow and VIM. Kaufman
the church presented him with a
handsome leather bottomed arm
chair which combined both ease and
utility.
This demonstration of kindness
and fellowship was more than Mr..
Selby could bear in silence, and he
responded in the fullness of his heart
and thanked his generous donors. 1t
was then in sober earnest that Mr..
Selby gave full vent to the kindness
and gratitude which he falt for his
people The closing hours of the
entertainment were joyous and hap
Ply and gave promise of another
years harmony and good work by
preacher and people. God speed

ENLARGING THE LOCKS.
The Navigation Company Making Some
Needed Repairs.

The Monongahela navigation com
pany will close Lock No. for re-
pairs some time this month. Among
other things. the lock will be enlarg-
ed to allow the locking through of
coal boats. Locks No. 5, 6 and 7
are too small to be of use to coal men,
and as some of the fifth pool people
want to develop their coal lands, the
navigation company has decided to
enlarge the lock. New gates, which
are already constructed, will also be
placed in position. The Morgantown
packets will be obliged to transfer
freight and passengers at the lock
while the work is in progress.
