ROBBED A WIDOW.
A sneak thief goes through several cell
lars on Front street.-the police
should look out for him.

Wednesday night some one enter
ed several cellars on Front street
and they are to-day richer in the
possession of a good many potatoes
and some butter. The cellar Of Mrs.
Annie Dean was entered and lot
OF potatoes taken.
The scoundrel ought to feel good
over this robbery of an aged widow
who at best cannot afford to furnish
supplies for those who are able to
look out for themselves.
After he left there he went into
the Franks house and got some but
ter and sweet potatoes belonging to
Mrs Sennett and Mrs. Baer. The
police should keep an eye out for the
thieves and if they are caught they
ought to be given a salty dose.
There is altogethertoo much sneak
thieving going onaround town and
it should be stopped if possible.

Newspaper Mistakes.

Money, money, money is the cry,
but withal it is not as valuable nor
as scarce as 'charity". Again, while
charity is very rare not equal to the
demand, on the other hand "hypocri-
sy" is drug on the market. The ed
itor of this paper never realized the
scarcity Of the one and the abundant
supply of the other as of late. There
are lots Of people who wonder at won
ders, as well as wonder at the editor
of his paper. There are those who
detect mistakes in newspapers, but
they seem to be obvious of their own
mistakes. Doctors, lawyers, preachers
make them. The doctors mistakes
are buried; the lawyers, twist out OF
their mistakes, and the preachers are
forgiven. The man who can keep err
rors out of newspaper can get very
large salary. and Printer.

SOMN SCRAPPING.
Uniontown has Wars and Ru-
mors of Wars of Various
Kinds.

The Gas Company and the Consumers
Arc into it as are the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Tri-State
Telephone Company-Eight Cables
Cut By the Railroad Exchange
Completely Crippled-A Very High
Handed Proeeeding-The Power of
the Law win Be Invoked.
Uniontown is having wars OF its
own. The gas company and the con-
sumers have tangled over the matter
of using the gas and several fights and
great deal OF litigation has resulted
from this scrap. Neither side will give
to every one.
Now the railroad companies and the
telephones are at il. The State
when they put in their wires crossed
the p. r.. r. tracks and they were
warned by the company not to do SO.
Some arms had to be placed out over
the tracks to support the eight large
cables which entered the central office
and these they were notified to take
away within ten days by the Rail
road
They were not removed although
the telephone people said that they
would move them as soon as possible.
The first act of war came on Wendes-
day afternoon when the cables were
all cut and the town was left without
service as far as that company was
concerned. There are several hundred
members of the exchange and the de-
lay and loss incident to the proceed
ing of the railroad company will be
very great
The company sent several men to
UniontoWn and they watched until all
the men employed about the central
office had gone out when they acted.
They placed ladder against the side
OF the building and man with an
AK climbed up while others stood
guard. Several rapid we'll directed
blows of the ak and all the cables fell
to the ground ruined.
The delay and expense of repairing
this act will be very great and the
town will be without communication
with one another.
The act is being denounced by every
one down there as well it may be.
Corporations have no more right to
carry on in this high handed way
than have individuals and they should
be given a strong taste OF the law for
the act that their agents acting under
their direction has committed

FOUND THE REMAINS.
OF the Recent Raid on the Harrisyille
PostOfiice in a Church.

HARRIsyILLE, Oct. 6.-Sunday
morning when the sexton of the
Methodist church opened the building
the pews in the rear part of the room
were found full of discarded money
orders, checks taken from registered
letters, torn registered envelopes and
ordinary letters, which had been taken
from the Harrisville postffice in the
recent robbery. This proved that
while the officers and citizens were
securing the woods for the thieves
they were making the church place
of refuge, and were leisurely going
through their booty.
All the letters and other envelopes
had been opened.

SAYS 1T IS ALL RIGHT.
Prof. Leon speaks in the highest terms
of the Vashburn minstrels

Prof. Leon wishes us to say for him
that he saw the Washburn MINISTRIES
in Monongah and that it is one Of the
best shows he ever saw. The march
ing of the soldiers in honor of the dead
seamen of the Maine was particularly
fine. 1t is well worth the price of adj
mission charged and no one ought to
miss 1T. He is in no way connected
with the show but wishes that every
one in Morgantown should see the
show. He gives US permission to sign
his name to the endorsement OF the
performance in every particular.

Right here is whole pile of good
sense. An exchange says: "Boys with
hats on the back of their heads and
long hair hanging down over their
foreheads and cigarettes and smutty
words in their mouths, are cheaper
stuff than old worn out shoes; nobody
wants them at any price. Men will
not employ them; girls will not mar
ry them. They are not worth their
keeping to anyone, and they will new
er be able to keep themselves. II any
boy happens to read this description,
let him take a look at himself and
then do what his conscience tells him
To do.

WILL INVITE THEM.
Local Knights of Pythias will try to
get the state lodge TO meet here next
year-A laudable move.

The Knights of Pythias who will go
from here to the state meet at Sisters
vile this month will make a strong
effort to get the next meeting Of the
lodge for Morgantown. This has be-
come great convention town and the
Knights want tothe have brethren here
to show them what fine time can be
had By the visiting brethren when
they do come.
The town is also very anxious that
the organization shall come and they
will back up every promise that the
delegates may make to get the meet
ing Nothing helps a town more than
to have people from all over the state
visit it. They see what we have here
and go home with the most favorable
reports. There is no town in the
state that has received more benefit
from the various state meets which
have been held than has this place.
A great deal of the real prosperity
which we as town are experiencing
has come from the meetings which
have been held here and the reports
of US that have been carried home by
those who have attended them. BY
all means lets have the Knights.

Another Card from Waters and whit
tingtOn.

In answer to the President of the
board of Regents explanation as to
why the highest bidder was awarded
the contract for furnishing the uni
forms for the coming season we have
to say this as to our bid not being in
telligible it was type written and in
plain English. Our bid was not seal
ed and was sent to Mr.. Sturgiss sew
eral days before the contract was let
and certainly as it involves quite a
sum to the state did he not have suffi-
Client time to notify US that our bid
was not correct and furthermore is
not 1913 more than $12.35. The
total bid and each article would have
been in proportion to the total bid.
There are other reasons well known
why Hirschman was given the con-
tract not necessary to mention here
but can be given II necessary.

1t is well known fact that Skin

Fairmont and evidently increases its
popularity continually. Its patronage
was never so great before and all its
guests go away satisfied. The trite

who goes there knows this.

THE GAME TO MORROW.

Captain Yeager expects to win but
does not anticipate large Score.
How the Teams Compare First game
of the Season for Us-The Line up OF
the Teams-0ther Notes of the pOpu-
lar Same.
The first foot ball game Of the sea
son will be played in South Morgan
town to morrow afternoon between
the University and Westminster.
These teams have met several times
before and the university has car
ried off the honors every time and
they hope to repeat the performance
this time.
Westminster has had several
games this season already and while
she has won none of them of course
the experience gained has been of
advantage to them. They were
badly defeated by w. & j. and lost
the other games by small scores to
lesser lights.
The University has not had any
games and tie practice that they
had has been very ragged They
have not had scrubs out to give them
hard work This has been due to
the fact that there are not uniforms
enough for the men. New uniforms
have been ordered and this defect
will soon be remedied.
However, the captain, L. a. Yea
ger thinks that there is no doubt but
that the game will be won by us.
The score will not be large and the
men will have to work for what they
get, They are in good condition
and can play hard game if they
have to and they will go in with
that intention
Westminster will arrive on the
noon train tomorrow and they will
be met at the depot by all students
who can get there and given an en-
thusiastie reception when they ar
rive
The game will be called at 2:30
according to the bill but it will
likely be three before the kick off
takes place A great deal depends
on which side gets the ball If it
falls to us a touch down should be
made before the play is very old
and if they get it a stout, determined
stand will regain it for us.
The attendance is expected to be
very large tomorrow as every one
is anxious to see what kind of a
team we are to have this fall.
The line up is to be as follows:
\ WESTMINSTER. Wv. U.
Morrison or Christlev G Donley
Mcmahon and Hirst G Lardin, Konrad
or Sweeney
Witherspoon & Chambers T
White & Darnell
Edgar & Kuhn E Welsh & Noble
Berry @ McWhorter
