Last Sunday party Of Pittsburg
gentlemen went through Morgantown
on their way to the mountains to hunt
squirrels. They expected to be gone
about ten days. Josiah Randall's was
made their headquarters and some
royal sport promised. A terrible ac.
cident cut their visit short and they
are back at home with one OF
their number engaged in grim strug-
gle with death.
The party was composed of DIR. r.
J. Phillips, a very prominent physi-
clan of the South Side, ID. ii. Mapes,
merchant, j. G. Fisher, a Fort
Wayne Official, and John A. Kennedy,
a photographer They are all promi-

burg.
DR.. Phillips and Mr.. Mapes were
close togetheL Mapes thought that
his companion was behind when he
was really in front OF him. A rabbit
was scared up by Mapes' approach. 1t
offered a fair shot and the hunter fired.
The report was followed by scream
of anguish and on rushing TO the spot
DR.. Phillips was found weltering in
his blood.
DIR. Cox was hastily summoned.
The injured man was taken In the
meanwhile to the house. On the ar

eight shot had struck the right leg
and one had lodged in the left one.
Had the charge struck few inches

known what hurt him. As it is with

may recover. The leg will not have
to be amputated if Inflammation does
not intervene. The warm weather
will not be to any advantage TO the
wounded man.
Yesterday he was brought to town

party left on the boat for Pittsburg.

PRESTON county is having it's own
trouble with green goods men. Two
slick individuals fictitiously repre-
resenting the American Art Compa-
ny, of Baltimore, have been opera
ting very successfully in Preston
county, and through the eastern part
of the state. They have an old cam
era and are taking negatives for
pictures. They guarantee to finish
up your photos at the rate of one
dollar and fifty cents per dozen, col
lecting the dollar in advance, and
are to collect the fifty cents when
the pictures are delivered. They did
a land office business in the begin
ming until the report was circulated
that they were fakirs and suddenly
they disappeared.

Gave Back
Ny Health.

There is no reason for being respondent
and considering diseases Of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself, no better as time. goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that SIS. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while SIS.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. II is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.

Night from Waynes-

When Frank Pride arrived at

two very penitent young men. They
wanted to pay for all damage done
and loss entailed by their eseapade
They could have been seriously han
died, but under the circumstances
it was thought best to let them off
az easy as possible
They were brought into the Sher-
IFS office from-the Jail and paid for
the damaged buggy. The fifth wheel
and king bolt of this had been
broken. They also paid Pride for
his trouble in clearing them.
They said that one of them
wanted to go to Washington, Pa, to
his home and that the other agreed
to take him to Waynesburg. The
Washington youth was G. w Fyfe ;
the others name could not be
earned.
Pride brought William Wade's
buggy back to him and got his own.
They had gotten a rig of Wade
when theirs broke down. The re-
turn trip was made at night, Frank
arriving here at about 2 o'clock.

in the County-WfIl be Done by Dec.
Contract Let This Morning to the
Canton Bridge company---Priee to be
Paid, $170O--Two Towns to Build
Abutments. Three Smaller Bridges
contracted for.
The County Court did something
this morning which will entitle them
to the gratitude OF the whole com
munity. They gave contract for
modern structure over Deckers creek
between Morgantown and South
Morgantown. Several other bridges
were also contracted for
The contract is,given to theCanton
Bridge Company, of Canton, Ohio,
through their representative Mr.. r.
Meredith, of Marietta. Mr.. Mere
dith came in this morning at $50
and left at IL: 40 with the contracts
in his pocket. The bridge is to be
done by December 1st and ready for
use.
The structure is to be the pretti-
est bridge in the county, decidedly
so. The bridge is to be ninety-five
feet long without the approaches
which are each to be about twenty
feet long. A road way eighteen feet
wide is in the center and foot path
five feet wide is to be on either side.
These are separated from the road
way by handsome guard rails and
to have substantial rails on the out
side. The cost of the bridge is to be
$500. The contract was private
one; no other company being on the
ground. Mr.. Merediths company
has done all the iron bridge work in
the county and their work has given
universal satisfaction.
The new bridge is to occupy the
same site as the old one. The coun-
ty furnishes the bridge and the town
prsvide for the approaches. Proba-
bly, each will take charge of it's own
side. The present abutments will
be used but they will have to be
raised and enlarged to meet the new
requirements.
The town councils of the two bor-
oughs will likely meet soon in joint
session to consider the matter and
make the arrangements. Their part
of the work is 10 be done on or be-
fore November 18th and the iron
work will then have to be finished
by December LIST. What arrange
ments will be made for traffic be-
tween the two towns while the
bridge is undergoing the transforma-
ton has not yet developed. Proba-
bly, it will not be down very long
and no serious interruption will en-
sue.
Everybody who has had occasion
to use the old rattletrap over the
creek will be delighted to know of
the proposed improvement. 1t will
be an ornament to the towns and
standing endorsement of the wisdom
of the county court We are all
very much pleased with the prospect.
Contracts were also given out for
three other small bridges. Two of
these are to be thirty foot spans and
are to be placed up Deckers creek.
The third one is to go on Little In
dian creek near Alfred Barker's.
These three are to cost between $500
and 5000. The county is TO furnish
the lumber to go into them. They
are to be done by the 18th, of No
yember.

Every fifteen years the bridge over
the river here has to be repaired.
just fifteen years ago this summer
new beams were placed under the
structure through its entire length.
These have outlived their usefulness
and are shortly to be replaced with
new ones. The lumber for this is
now on the ground.
Experts differ as to the best ma
terial to be used in such work, but
the management of the local com
pany are inclined to Georgia pine as
the best. Accordingly that wood
will be used. Four car loads of this
has been ordered and is now on the
ground 1t is piled up in huge
stacks to season. This wood is quite
expensive, costing on the ground
more than $22 per thousand feet.
Every old beam in the bridge is
to be replaced with a new one. 1t
will require $50 new beams to do
this. The other woodwork is be
Iieved to be sound and to require no
repairs, but in putting in the beams
defective parts may be located. Il
so, of course they will be replaced
with new meterial.
The work will not begin for some
little time probably not for a
month or so. Some has already
been done, as it demanded that the
defect should be remedied at once.
William Sheets has been engaged as
foreman to direct the work. Eight
or ten carpenters will be engaged to
do it. Others would be hired, but
that is as many as can work to any
advantage. Several weeks will be
required to finish the job. Traffic,
it is thought, will not be interfered
with. At least it never has been
during the course of similar repairs.
The ironwork was all overhauled
last summer and put in first-class
condition. In consequence nothing
will have to be done to it this time,
only the woodwork requiring atten-
ton. When the repairs are COM
pleted the bridge will not again re-
quire similar treatment for the reg
ular fifteen year period or at least
that is the hope OF the company.
The total cost of the new material
is about 800 and the entire cost
will make about $4,000, as the ope-
ration of putting in the timbers is
an exceedingly tedious and costly
one.
