berry.
Last night the new line ware room
at Randall was burglarized. A half
barrel of beer was carried off. The
burglars were seen at their work and
recognized, but escaped with their
plumber. They will be arrested.
Lum Cobun is the wharfmaster at
Randall for the new line, and he has
small wareroon below the SCOTS
Run bridge. Yesterday barrel Of
beer in quarts arrived consigned to a
speak-easy proprietor in the Mount
Morris oil field. One of the fellows
who broke into the wareroom was
present and saw the beer.
About ten o'clock he and two 9TH
ers returned to Randall, and after a
few unsuccessful attempts forced the
door, Cobun heard them and got up
and hurried over. They had taken
the alarm, however, and had escaped
with their plumber. They were traced
back some distance in the country but
could not be found last night.
However. all three Of them are
known and warrants with noon be
out for them. The burglary occurred

Wrist Sprained.

A. O. Stanley has badly sprain-
ed wrist as a result of tackle he
made on Len Yeager recently. The
practice had nearly ended when
Yeager broke through the line and
started for touch down. Stanley
tackled him and as they fell his
right arm received a severe twist
spraining his wrist quite badly. He
would have played tackle against p.
A. G. if this accident had not hap
pened but cannot take part in the
game. Last year on the evening be-
fore the team was to take trip he
was injured and prevented from &C
companying it. This is the first
foot ball accident of the year to oc-
cur here.

OWING to the excessive drought

THE number of summonses issued
for this term of the grand jury is not
as large as common. Morgan dis
trict gets about 60 of the total num-

already issued may come out after
the jury gets down to business, but
the probability is that the session
will not see as many witnesses up
as common.

serve great credit for their enter

ATTORNEY General Edgar P.
Rucker has come to the conclusion
that he is to the present State admin
istration what the fifth wheel is to a
wagon. He has spent large portion of
his valuable time since the fourth of
March in writing opinions on various
disputed points of law for the guild
ance of the State officers in the dis
charge of their duty, and as far as can
be ascertained not one of his many
voluminous interpretations of the law
have been regarded. Each one of the
officers of the State government claims
to "know a little law" himself, and
consequently the opinions of the attor-
ney general are not in demand. Gen
eral Rucker is entitled to public SYM
pathy. His occupation is gone, and
it must go hard with him to draw his
salary when he hasn't earned it

The football management are doing
everything they can to make the ex-

Guiding admission to the game is
$l.40. Tickets are already on sale,
and number have been disposed of.
The crowd will go up ON the 11:45

that 500 people will go from Morgan
town and vicinity. They will see a
great game for their trouble.

Twenty Five or Thirty Competitors
Trustworthy Achievement.
On Monday Lieutenant G. A. Os-
born, of the National Guard, received
letter from Major Phil A. Shafer
telling him very welcome bit of in
formation. 1t was to the effect that
he had received the highest percent
age of any line officer on the exami-
nation for promotion. AS there are
twenty-five or thirty who took the
examination and some of them being
among the brightest men in the
State it will be seen that Lieut.. Os-
born did very well indeed. His per-
centage was nearly 95. The train
ing received in the cadet corps
proved of great help in accomplish
ing the feat. We congratulate him
on the showing made.
The following items are taken
from the Fairmont Free Press:
Milton Wilson, of Centre, Mon
ongalia county, who sold his farm
to William Kennedy, will have sale
on the 14th of October. A large
quantity of grain and some live stock
will be sold. 1t was on his farm
that the first oil well was drilled
in the Jake's Run field. 1t opened
up large extent of territory. Mr..
Wilson has purchased farm near
Boothesville and will move there
this fall.
j. M. Arnett and family, of Mark
leysburg, Pa ,are visiting their many
friends in this and Monongalia coun-
ties. Mr.. Arnett is son of Joseph
Arnett, of near Arnettsville, and a
brother of Mrs. Upton, John Arnett,
and J. w. Arnett, of this place, and
of Mrs. II. G. Hayward, Of .Monon-
gah. He thinks that Fairmont is
improving very fast and substantial
ly and he may come back and take
up his residence in old Marion.
The sport loving people of Fair
mont have the chance to see a great
game of foot ball on Saturday, Oct.
1
18th, between the crack university
of West Virginia and the Marietta,
Ohio, teams.
The second game to be played
here will be the Fairmont team VS..
University of West Virginia. This
will be an interesting game as there
always has been a rival feeling be-
tween the two cities for athletic
honors and the people should turn
out en- masse and cheer our boys to
victory. The admission fee for these
games will be small enough for
any one to be able to witness them,
and you will most likely get youf
moneys worth, as all teams con-
cerned are putting up stiff practice

Last Thursday Jacob Woolf had
his coat stolen while his back was
turned for few moments. He was
working near DIR. Turner's, being en-

coat up in one of the trees along the
street, and having occasion to go out
the alley left it there. On his return,
a few moments later, his coat was

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done Is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This Is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil In
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost

cal Play Houses.
The Prisoner Of Zenda Anthony
Hopes novel in dramatZed form, open
ed an engagement Of two nights and
Saturday matinee at the Opera House
last night, to an audience which was
large and appreciative. 1t is romantic
story beginning with a glimpse at an
escapade of the Red Elphberg, a cen
fury and half ago. This young prince,
heir to the throne OF Ruritania, hap
mems to be engaged in an intrigue with
an English nObleman, in defense OF
whose coed name he fight duel. The
duel is the great picture of the prologue
of the play. Nothing in contemporary
drama contains such 6 world OF acton
packed into small space as this prolo-
que. Ii Is tale Of absorbing interest,
and it is told to a company which IS iar
above the average. There is not per-
son in the cast who does not make the
hest possible out of his or her opportu-
mites. and the result is an artistic pro-
duction OF a great drama. Ihe!e Is d
large sale for the matinee and evening
performances to-day.
10 drama which has been produced ~
the Grand this season has created SUCH
favorable impression as "ln ,!22oura'
which closes a half weeks engagement
with matinee and evening performances
to-day. Last night the audience was
larger than on Thursday. This was due
largely to the fact that those who attend
