I suffered with constipation and
dyspepsia for five years, never
having a natural operation. After
eating I always felt as if there was
great lump in my stomach. Four

Worse Than starving RecOncentradOs.
The conscience of the whole
American patton was so aroused by
the story of the sufferings OF the re-
concentrates as told by Senator
Proctor, that war with Spain to
redress their wrongs was foregone
conclusion from the moment he
concluded his memorable speech.
The pitiful story of the agonized
suffering from starvation and dis
ease brought tears of sympathy
from every eye, and the universal
demand for the punishment of their
oppressors compelled the admins
tration to take decisive steps in the
name of humanity to force the
Spaniards from this continent.
These sentiments were worthy
of a great nation; they were such as
should be aroused among Chris
tian people at all times-when bru-
talized force inhumanly Expresses
and maltreats unofending subjects.
But all this sentiment shoES not
be expended on Spanish t,ansgres-
sors. They had the excuse that
they were unable to supply the
starving with food and shelter.
There have been horrors of star
walton and disease among our own
soldiers which parallel and exceed
the most atrocious suffering among
the reconcentrados, occasioned by
the incompetence or crime of men
connected with the war department
and for which no aroused public
sentiment has yet secured even an
investigation. We went to war
with Spain because she starved in
offensive reconcentrados, when she
had no food to supply them but we
retain in Office a secretary OF war
and laud administration which, with
supplies of all Ginds in profusion,
have starved and broken by disease
their own soldiers as pitilessly as
ever Blanco starved reconcentrados,

The shallow sand field recently

distance below Wiiliamstown, is
attracting great deal of attention
at present. There are some good
wells being drilled in down there,
and they are holding up in good
shape, too.
Leonard No. I, the first big
we'll drilled in p couple of weeks
ago, which started off at about II
barrels an hour, has in two weeks
only declined to 7 barrels an hour,
and it is Folding up at that figure
in good shape.
Yesterday Leonard & Co. drilled
in their No. 2 on the Henderson
farm and will have producer even
better than the first we'll drilled in.
The we'll got the sand early in the
afternoon and started off at about
ID barrels an hour and was holding
up at that figure this afternoon.
No. I on the Rudolph Uhl farm,
drilled in yesterday afternoon
which has been reported as good for
100 barrels day is dry hole.
When the we'll was drilled into
the top of the sand it had a nice
showing and the indications were
that it would be as good as any of
the other wells drilled in there.
When it was drilled in through the
sand however, it was dry. There
was good showing of both gas and
oil in the well.
Lockwood & Co. drilled in their
No. I on the Pugh farm Tuesday
evening and it is reported to be
making IL barrels an hour.
Their No. on the same farm is
about 400 feet deep and the s inch
casing was put in today.
Their No. 3, located on the river
bank was rugged up yesterday and
this morning spudding was COM
menced. This we'll is located with
in ten feet of the waters edge.
Leonard & Co. have we'll just
across the line from the we'll on
the Pugh, and it is within ten feet
OF the water, also. Leonard's we'll
was started to spudding today.
Lockwood has the rig up and
was rigging up today at No. 4 on
the Pugh, and drilling will be COM
menced tomorrow.
Henderson & Co., who have one
of the Pugh farms leased, have the
rig completed and started rigging
up yesterday at their No. and will
commence spudding tomorrow.
From Fridays Daily.
Capt. Jones we'll, on the Marshal
farm is a wonder. 1t has been flow
ing two weeks and has not varied
in its production 10 barrels either
way.
Mr.. Armstrong who has been in
the oil business for years, declares
that he never saw its equal. Other
operators are hustling on adjoining
farms and several wells are already
drilling.
The Carter Oil company are drill
ing at several hundred feet at their
No. I Thistle about 700 feet north
west.
Henry & Mcdonald have the rig

pletion of Carter's we'll on the This
tie farm.
Duffey Bros. are placing the tim
bers on the ground for a rig on the

LOST A FINGER.
Benson Waters gets his left Hand into a
Well digging Machine.

Benson Waters the county super
intendent of Free Schools has his
hand in sling and has lost one fin
ger with chance of losing another.
This was caused by his catching his
hand in a well digging machine
which is digging well for him on
Sunnyside.
The left hand is the one that suf-
fered and the end of one finger was
taken off clean. Another finger was
badly mashed and it may have to be
amputated although it may get well
all right without resort to that
treatment. DR. Hartigan dressed
the wounds.

INTO THE ARMY.
Paul Bayles and Lawrence Cox have
joined the band of the first Regi-
ment.

Two Morgantown boys have gone
into the army and they are now at
Chickamauga with the first regiment
awaiting the call to go the front.
They are Paul Bayles and Lawrence
Cox. Fer some time they have been
trying to get in and just before they
went it seemed that they had failed
but they persisted and finally a
place was found for them.
They will be members Of the band
and will be under Walter Mestrezat
of this place, who has charge of that
organization. The boys are in good
hands and will get along well under
him. They are good players and
will be creditable addition to the
band.
The regiment is still at Chicka-
manga although the men are daily
expecting to go to the front and are
on the highest tension in conse-
quence. They have gotten ready to
move several times but have not yet
gotten of. Several of the regiments
there have gone to the front but for
some reason however if there is any
virtue in being one of the best
drilled and disciplined regiments in
the camp thisone has not.

TOM AT HOME.
The Captain Of the Fairmont Team is
back at Morgantown-Wh the
Team Quit.

Tom Pastorius who has been the
captain of the Fairmont team is at
home as the team has disbanded.
He has not decided what he will do
for the rest of the season but he has
several good offers of positions. He
says that the action taken in dis
banding the club was not expected
and was contrary to what those back
of the team wished. However heavy
losses caused the suspension The
stories in the Uniontown papers
about the bats and other supplies Of
the team being taken while they
were recently in Fairmont is de-
nounced as false. He says that not
only was nothing taken by the Fair
mont boys but they were actually
losers themselves. Who the fellows
were who took their things he does
not know but he does know they
were taken.
Under the captaincy of Pastorius
the team did very well especially at
the close of the season when they
won nearly if not all the games in
which they participated. The team
will likely be organized again next
year

The Children's Day anniversary
was very beautifully observed by
the Sunday School of the Nj K.
Church. The audience room was
superbly decorated, and the altar
looked like u bower of flowers. When
the morning service opened the stage
was occupied by a bevy Of little
folks that looked like an animated
boquet. The ordinance of baptism
was performed by the pastor on a
large array of big and little babies
that kept up a growing that gave the
scene natural, If not solemn air.
In the evening the children were
in their glory An immense audi
ence had gathered to see them and
well were they entertained. All
kinds of ehildren's performances
were presented. The little kid, just
able TO prattle. sang scientific solos,
and the next biggest made artistic
recitations. The audience respond
ed with spontaneous applause, Al
together it was an entertainment
that reflected great credit on the
children and on their patient and
expert trainers.

10th at 8 p. M, in the eighteenth
year of his age, of consumption, JOS
eph Ross Wharton. The end came
peacefully and the sick boy was con-
scious to the last, and spoke to those
around him only a few moments be-

and death come no more and where

the University and was then in the
postoffice until his health forbade his
remaining there any longer He was
an unusually bright boy and was liked
by all who knew him for his many eX-
cellent qualities and his friendly dis
position. Being in the postoffice and
thrown in contact with great many
people his acquaintanceship was a
wide one and with all that he knew
the feeling was one of interest and
friendship.
His death removes one Of the most
promising young men of the county
and he will be sadly missed by large
number of people in all this section Of
the country.

o'clock on Monday afternoon, the in
terment being in Oak Grove cemetery

La bOottpk,

an end yesterday evening by his con-
Tossing to the murder of Will Metz
on Christmas day.
Judge Hagans sentenced him to
two years in the penitentiary at
Moundsyille and he will be taken
there next week. In delivering the
sentence Judge Hagans spoke very
feelingly and all the people in the
court room were deeply touched.
Shultz shot Will Metz, at Metz, on
Christmas day. Both had been drink
ing and Shultz committed the crime
in sudden passion of anger. His
friends tried hard to have him held
by Justice Fleming for some less of
Tense than murder but were unsuc-
cessful.
Schultz had lived an exemplary
life until few months before the
crime was committed when domestic
troubles were followed by spell of
drinking, Things went on and he
stated that he carried revolver for a
man whom he thought was the cause
of his unhappiness.
1t was this gun that he shot
Metz with on sudden provocation

SOME GOSSIP
About the Progress of the Street
Paving Undertaking.

All that is holding the Work back is
the Brick and that will be here this
Week-The Contractor will then get
down to businessA large gas main
is to be laid-This example should be
followed by others along the same
line There must be no tearing ND
of the pavement after IL once goes
down-Preserye the Trens.
The brick people have been heard
from. They say that they will have
first part of the material here this
week Then the shipments will be
kept up regularly and there will be
no delay for want of brick. The
quality of the brick TO be furnished
IL said by all who know anything
about them to be equal to the very
best in the country so that everyone
can be satisfied that the town when
it does get it will have the best
pavement that it is possible to get.
The hauling of the material will
begin as soon as the first car comes
in and the material will be placed on
the streets under the direction of the
city engineer as fast as it comes in
to the yard at the depot.
The contractor stands ready to
begin work as soon as there enough
brick on the ground to pave one
block and he will lose no time after
he begins to throw dirt. The only
thing that holds the work back now
is the material question and the
council will keep after the company
until they have that here. 1t will
be put here as soon as it can be
made.
While it is being placed there can
be but little done on the streets be-
ing worked as the center will be inn
passable and the sidewalks on either
side will be piled high with the ma
terial but it will not stay that way
long as the pavement will go right
down without any unnecessary delay
or stoppage,
Another larger gas Main will be
laid up the center of main street
sometime soon. The two mains al
ready in will be left there and the
new main will be put in so that there
will be no chance whatever of the
supply pipes getting too small in
the future and necessitating the
tearing up of the pavements in order
to put in new pipes. just when this
work will begin has not been decided
upon but it will begin in few DAYS.
This has to be done before the pay
ing is done but it will rnot take long
to do it. All the streets in town will
be fixed for both water and gas be-
fore the paving is laid. This will
allow the brick to stay where they
are placed and will not make it nee
essary to tear them us In q few
years.
The property owners should be
required to fix their connec-
tions for sewers and other things
which will make it imperative to
tear up the street and after the per-
inanent improvements go down they
should not be allowed to tear them
up for trivial causes.
The sentiment Of the people is
that the shade trees must be pre-
served and the council is Of the
same opinion but they should watch
the contractor and see that no harm
comes to them while the work is be-
ing done. The town cannot afford
to allow its trees to be torn down
and it does not intend to have them
removed. They can stay all right
and everyone wants them To star

Mr.. Frazier was brother of Mrs
James Hogue of South Morgantown.

The tide has turned from the Klon-
dyke and is rushing in strong currents
back home. Hundreds who were
wildly searching for the golden fleece
in the frozen and UNEMPLOYED North a
year ago are limping homeward, foot
sore and poverty-stricken. They
are poorer but wiser. Their ex-
perience, has none the less done them
good, its benefits to thousands Of 9TH
ers are ncalcuable. 1t appears that
the stories Of the extent and richness
OF the placer mines in the Yukon re-
gion were exaggerated and that the
conditions Of life we're misrepresented.
1t has not been established that there
is not a great store of gold in the
Klondyke, but it has been amply
proved that the deposit of the precious
metal is not as large as it is at Access
sible points within the boundaries of
the United States.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few Of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

All over the nation the peo-
pie gave vent to their thank
fulness to the Most High for
the splendid victories with
which. He has blessed the
American arms since the be-
ginning of the war. The ser
vices were participated in by
nearly every congregation in
the country.
The fighting at Santiago
was recommended by the
Spanish at noon yesterday
and lasted until night. Their
artillery took the greater part
and ours replied soon silenc-
ing them. The men remain
ed IN the trenches and did not
go out to make any assaults.
Three Americans were wound
ed.
Unless there was a change
in the plans the attack was
made on Santiago this morn
ing which will end the seige
of the place. The Americans
are confident of victory and
the enemies are disheartened
and desperate. They have of
fered to surrender if they
were allowed to march out
with their arms and colors
agreeing finally to leave their
cannon but all the propositions
to the answer has been "Un-
conditional Surrender. .
General Miles has left
Charleston, South Carolina for
the front where he goes to
watch the course of events.
It is said that he will not take
immediate command but will
let Shafter fight the problem
out himself.
The lines of both armies
confronting each other at San
tiago have been greatly
strengthened in the past few
days and the conflict will be
a desperate one for the pos
session of the city.
Three hundred wounded
arrived at Tampa yesterday
and will be sent north at once.
Spain wants peace but she
is afraid of internal dissen-
tons SO that it may be delay
ed until there has been furth-
er slaughter and the inhabi-
tants Of the Kingdom are full
ly satisfied that there is abso-
lutely no reason for a contin-
uance of the hopeless strug-
gle.
