Interesting sporting News.

The cranks will have the pleasure OF
seeing at least four Of the best col
lege teams in this part of the coun-
try play here during the month Of
May. Games have already been ar
ranged with w. v. U. of Morgantcwn
and w. U. p. of Allegheny; w. s. J..
of Washington, Pa, and Westmin-
ster. The three latter teams. will
stop off on their way to Morgantown
to play the w. v. U. team, and the
w. V. U. team will stop on It's way
to Pittsburg to play w. y. P. team.
In this way the college teams will
lessen their expenses on their long
trips and Uniontown will see base
ball played as it is by first class COL
lege teams. There is now but little
doubt that Altman will be secured to
manage and captain the team, and II
he is he will pitch the Westminster
game against Wilhelm, who will
twirl for the college boys, which will
make very interesting game, the
cranks say.--News Standard.

Gov. Atkinson, of West Virginia
in a late oracular after-d dinner speech
declared that ''the inexhaustible for
ests of timber in his State ''could
furnish boards enough to fence The

in Pennsylvania in our salad days
when we were green in judgment
but we know better now With ouI
barren uplands. our dried up streams
and bleak and blackened morntair
sides, we are contriving how we may
repair the senseless and wasteful
devastation Of the psst.

Reduced Freight Rates For settlers.

In order to encourage the move
ment of settlers and land buyers from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the
eastern states to Western Minnesota.
South Dakota and North Dakota, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Ry,
Co, has very materially reduced it,
carload rates for emigrant movables
so that farmers who have purchased
lands in Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota can take
all of their belongings with them to
their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part of
the Chicago, Milwaukee q st Paul
Ry. will no doubt be greatly appreei-
ated by those who are thus benefited.

GENTLEMEx Herewith submit my re-
port of the finances Of the Town of Morgan.
town, as Of the first day Of February, 1898.
This report begins with the orders issued
in 1893, and extends to Feb. !, 1898.
All orders issued have been tabulated from
the stubs Of the several order books, with the
date of allowance and ISSUE the number of
the order, the pnyee and the amount The
year in which the orders were severally paid
has been indicated with the check mark,
showing payment. and was obtained from
the Tressurer's vouchers This list is here
with returned as the basis Of this report
The amount given as i'm the hands of the
Treasurer, Feb. !, 1898, was obtained from
the Treasurer, Mr. w. W. Hayes. The out
standing bills and accounts were furnished by
the Recorder Mr. VIM. e. Arnett The
amount OF unpaid taxes was furnished BY the
Collector, Mr. Weaver, as also the estimated
amount of doubtful taxes. The credits on
outstanding orders, as shown by the settle
ment of the Treasurer, Jan 81, 1898, was fur
nished by the Recorder, Mr. Arnett
The interest on outstanding orders is my
own estimate, based upon the list showing
when the orders were issued By inspection
it will be seen that at least two thirds of
these orders were issued after September |,
1897 Ny allowance of $40 for interest is,
therefore, a liberal one. and within the facts.
Bonds Nos. 7, s, g. 10, IL, of the first
series, which have been redeemed, are filed
with the Treasurer's vouchers. Bonds Nos
2. 3, a. t. 6, are presumably paid, as no in
terest coupons for these bonds appear in re-
cent settlements but the bonds themselves
are not among the vouchers.
From the statement Immediately follow
ing, it will be seen that the floating indebt-
edness of the town, after allowing all re.
sources to offset the same, is So, 1857 80; and
the amount due the sinking fund for interest
and for the purchase Of bonds, is ST., 1874 co.
making the total net liabilities of the town.
as of Feb. |. 1898, the sum of $s,06l.S2.
When the requirements Of the sinking
fund are complied with as above, the balance
Of bonded Indebtedness outstanding will be
| 5000.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
