A LARGE sum
Ready in England for "a Petersburg
Family, it is Said,
If they Can Prove their Identity the
Children Of the Late David Kirk
patrick viii Come in for q Large
Fortune.

About a week ago Miss Della
Kirkpatrick, of Sixth street. received
letter from a collecting agency in
London. England, which informed
her that the heirs of her father, Da-
vid Kirkpatrick, are entitled to a
legacy Of several Thousand pounds
sterling from u member of the Eng
fish branch Of the family. Miss
kirkpatrick at once wrote to the
American consul at London asking
for information as she feared the
possibility of being taken in by a
swindling game. The consul's an
swer treasured her as it corroborated
the statements made in the first
letter.
David kirkpatrick, who died some
four or five years ago, lived here
nearly all his life. He was an old
soldier and al active Grand Army
man. He was sexton of the Holiday
cemetery and his daughter, Della,
still occupies the sections house,
which belongs to the city, and takes
care Of the cemetery. David Kirk
patrick's widow died shortly after
her husband, and the care of her lit
tie sister and brothers deYolved upon
Della who has faithfully discharged
the duty. Her eldest sister, Eliza
beth, is married and lives in Indiana.
A grown up brother, David, jr., lives
in this city. Johnny and Rufus, the
Younger boys, are old enough to
work out, while the youngest the lit
tie girl is only . years old These
six arc all the living offspring of
David, sr. They had often heard
their father say that his parents or
grandparents, they forget which,
were of English birth and came to
this country when David, sr., was
born. II is the intention of those
interested to investigate the matter
aad get the large sum if it is really
coming to them and they can prove
their identity. The first thing to be
done is to prove that their father
was the identical David Kirkpatrick
to whose heirs the money is coming
The heirs will take steps immediate
ly to procure the documents, aflida-
Wits, etc, necessary to establish the
identity of their late father and
themselves The money would be a
welcome boon to the family as they
are not rich, being beyond small
pension received by the children un
der age, dependent on their own ex-
ertions for their living. David Kirk
patrick, sr., has a sister. an afflicted
old lady who was never married and
resides some where in the East End,
who would probably come in for a
share of the money.
The amount at stake is about 90
600 pounds sterling, in our money,
about 100000.

been done for wheat. Buckwheat is fill

The dance at James Shaffers on Fri
day night was largely attended by botE
old and young.
A strange looking man came to Josiah
RandoPs few weeks ago and engaged
boarding. He would go away through
the day and return at night. He asked
great many foolish questions and acted
as though he was deranged He called
himself "honest Joe" and said he was
from Iowa. He was blind in one eye
but could see well enough with the other
to beat Mr.. Randol out of his board bill
as he went away one day and forgot to
return and settle. A man who would
defraud an honest hardworking old man
like Mr.. Randol ought to have his other
eye gouged out and be sent to Mounds
Vile.
Last Sabbath Rev. Bigler preached a
magnificent sermon. After preaching
the people gathered around him and
warmly shook his hand and each one
gave him quarter as a token of their
esteem. Before he took charge the
church was cold and the members divi-
ded and it was often referred to as the
devils church. But through his efforts
they are united and much good is being
done.

Not long ago the New York Her
aid declared that good times in the
industrial world would result in
making things lively in Gotham's
markets. The other day it sent its
reporters on tours of inspection
among the mercantile houses and
discovered that there was great en-
thuslasm over business improvement.
The certainty of plenteous produc-
ton n the agricultural districts, it
asserts, and the increasing confidence
throughout trade circles, are such
that commercial activities must gain
a new vigor and display a iveliness
which will mark the return to pros
perlty. A new period of business
success is just opened with the GER
tainty of long continuance. This
general revival, it should not be for
gotten, comes under Democratic
sway, aud comes, too, in the face of
the bitter condemnation of the Dem
ocratic tariff laws which the calam-
ity howlers used with such terrible
effect last year against the Demo
cratic party. But with the awaken
ing of industries all over the land
and the general advance of wages,
the workingman will understand now
which party carries out its promises
best.

A sample of Republican Harmony
in Pennsylvania.

III 'hhS9
The Republican fight in Pennsyl-
vania resulted as every one seemed
to think it would in Quay's favor.
The other fellows have not as yet
said much, they will probably be
heard from later. On the day the
convention met the Pittsburg Times
one of the rankest Republican pa
pers in that state had the following
as leading editorial 1t shows the
good fellowship that then existed
and no doubt will continue: To
day the war which Senator Quay de
clared two months and halt 400
against the Republican administra-
tion and the party organization in
this State comes to the climax IN
der circumstance which are horri-
bly, consistent with the tactics which
have characterized it throughout.
There has been no weapon, from
bulldozing to bribery, which his
agents have not used; no false pre-
tense too hypocritical to be set up
in his name; no falsehood too gross
to be given continuous daily circula-
tion through his newspaper organs
no viliflcation too vile and Shiny to
be hurled at Republican leaders
whose only crime was that they
would not surrender their free man
hood and submit to his despotic
domination.
1t comes to an end, let us hope, or
at least to temporary pause, to-
day, with the official head of the
party in the State con. PEELED to gar
rison the convention hall like for
tresS, a day in advance, in order to
keep it from being seized by a mob
of hired desperadoes who have been
gathered in the slums of Philadel
phia and taken to Harrisburg to
break up the convention, if the Quay
leaders, with their assistance, cannot
control majority of the delegates,
while the man who is to be the Quay
representative in the preliminary
skirmish is openly predicting muir
derous riot in the convention. At
the hour that this is written he is
claiming majority of the delegates,
basing his claim on a doctored eau.

wiring and fitting up for Geographic
service hall in which to hold a
boiling convention.
What a record for a party leader
to make in one summer; what
spectacle for the Republican party,
so lately united, triumphant and
harmonious, to gaze upon; and what
spectacle for Democratic eyes to
gloat over and for the education of
the young man who is making up
his mind which party he will enter
What a preparation for national
campaign; what an inspiration to
victory!

why Good Times are Coming

Concluding an editorial on "Wh,
Good Times Are Coming" the New
York Herald says: There is never
any doubt that good times inevitably
follow hard times. The only question
that makes people uncertain as tt
their course is: When do the gooG
times begin. When once maiorit,
of business men believe that the tide
Is flowing steadily toward prosperity
they act on that belief, and thereby
greatly accelerate the movement
Enough has been shown to prove
that that is the present condition oil
affairs in this country.
Among the great factors tending
to bring back good times the practi.
cal certainty of great corn crop is
one of the most potent. 1t is far
more important than a great wheat
crop would have been. Wheat is a
debtpayer. The farmer sells it gen
orally at one time to clear off a mort
gage or to pay for improvements or
machinery. Corn trickles into mar
ket the whole year through, and the
farmer spends its proceeds for the
necessaries and luxuries of life. Con-
sequently large corn crop means
steady purchasing power all through
the West and parts of the South
This alone will keep business active
and profitable on a sure foundation.
For the price of manufactures
generally to day is so low as to en-.
courage buying There never was a
time in the history of this country
when dollar would buy more than
it will to-day. The necessaries of
life are food, clothes and shelter.
Materials that go into buildings are
not at their lowest point, but they
are very cheap compared with aver
ages in the past. Clothing is prac-
tically at bedrock figures.
Meat is as low as it has been in
thirty years. Breadstuffs are away
down. Coffee and tea are no longer
Injuries, because their low prices
have brought people to consider
them necessities. Sugar has never
cost less. 1t is not SO long ago that
only eight or ten pounds could be
had for dollar At that time a
leading sugar refner said that if he
could make an eighth of cent
pound on refined sugar he would be
perfectly satisfied. Yet, to dav,
though the refners are undoubtedly
making good deal more than that
eighth, they are selling nearer TWEEN.
ty-five pounds for dollar, and their
output has been enormously iucreas-
ed The course of sugar is illustra
tive Of many other articles whose
price has reduced and whose con
sumption has been multiplied by ten.
Finally, the United States has no
serious difficulties in sight. At peace
with all the world and likely to re-
main SO, our people can hardly get
up quarrel among themselves. Tn.
der all these circumstances, is it too
much to say that the good times
have actually arrived?"

Cheering news of bounteous crops
from the west and south continue to
come to hand. Business REVEALS are
reported everywhere. The president
of Minneapolis bank wrote his New
York correspondent as follows: "We
thought we had enough money on
hand to meet the demand for loans,
but are now obliged to call on New
York. The wheat crop of the north
west promises TO be one of the laro-
est in many years. Business is rap
IDLY improving, and a fine trade is
expected. There is every sign of
great prosperity" Surely there is
no need of inviting orators to tell
the people what the Democratic par
ty is doing for the betterment of in
dustrial conditions and the uplifting
Of the workingman all over the land.
Facts speak louder than promises.

Mad Protection


Postmaster General Wilson's let
ter in yesterdays World was one Of
those timely. complete and convinc-
ing utterances which leave no more
to be said.
The reform of the tariff which Mr..
Wilson undertook was MANNED and
crippled by corrupt dickers in the
Senate with the'mammon of upright
eousness, but in spite of these dick
ers it accomplished relief to the
manufactures of the country in the
freeing of important raw materials
and relief to the people in the cheap
ening Of important necessaries OF
life.
A years experience shows that
the country is already more pros
porous because of it, and that this
prosperity is destined to increase
and multiply.
Where before our manufacturers
were restricted to a "home market"
which could not consume their pro
duct if they gave full work and wa
ges to their men, they are now able
to conquer the markets of the
world" Wages are higher and still
increasing because of the reform.
Manufacturers are more prosperous
by reason of it. 1t has given to the
farmer larger market for his pro-
duce. In brief it has restored a
prosperity destroyed by Mckinley
ism and securely promises a pros
perity greater than any that the
country has ever known.
Under such circumstances no DO
litical party can safely venture to
disturb the work already done. The
only tariff legislation now tolerable
to people so greatly benefited by
the removal of taxes upon raw ma
terials and the necessaries of life
will be such as enlarges the free list
and reduces or removes other bur
dens.
The experience of enhanced wages.
larger trade and greater prosperity
has ended the tariff issue as a ques
ton before the people.
Mr.. Wilson sums up the whole
matter when ne says in his terse
way:
Tariff reform, although wounded
in the house Of its alleged friends, is
triumphantly justified by its results.
Those results are lightened taxes,
cheaper necessaries of life. quicken.
ed employment and increased wages
for labor, widening markets and the
promise of adequte revenue.
The country has bid last fare
well to McKinleyism. The day of
mad protection" is over.
With the logic of facts confront
ing them and with their own well
fare as the dominant consideration
the people OF relieved and prosper
Gus country will give short shift to
any political party that shall here
after make mad protection" its
shihboleth. They have learned in
the school of experience the truth
that Mr. Wilson teaches, that ''there
is no way to protect American in.
dustry except by relieving it from
burdens upon the materials with
which it works; no way to insure
good wages and steady employment
to home labor except by freeing it
from the shackles which have CON
fined it to a glutted home market
and prevented it frcm seeking it's
customers all over the world"
That would indeed be mad pro-
lection" which should now propose
a step backward.

The OutIookA

The summer months In passed
and gone and We enter upon Ne Fall
season
Thesummer brought Us bountiful
harvests, and now with the erd of
the heated season when business
languishes, and with signs of pros
perity and reviving spirit in all lines
of enterprise, we look for the mos t
prosperous Fall and Winter that we
have enjoyed for years.
This is the outlook throu ghout
the country generally, and we do
not see that the local conditions are
in anywise different. Our people
suffered less from the general de.
preston Of the last few years than
almost any other locality, and we
are ready now to go with the rising
tide to still better things n the near
future. No town in the State has
gone forward more steadily and sub
stantially than Morgantown. When
we look about US we are a surprise
to ourselves. And we continue to
grow after the same fashion. On all
sides new buildings are going up,
and old ones being improved. There
is employment for all, and nobody
and no business is suffering.
The University opens next week,
and will bring an additional popu-
lation Of three or four hundred PEG

will e more money and more life on

fand what money it brings remains.
1t helps every body directly or indi-
rectly. 1t is better than half doz-

We only need little more public
spirit a little more unity and
thought among our citizens for the
development of the town to make it
doubly prosperous and progressive.
We ought to remove the EN- barge of
toll bridge across the Monongahe-
la, which is the greatest drawback
the town suffers. We need another
bridge at the eastern end of Pleas
ants streets to connect the town
with its suburbs We need to have
the minds of our leading citizens en-
gagged with a few things like these,
