ABOUT everyone who can do SO. Is

RUTTER's band got warm recep
ton here last year and they will get
a warm one this time when they CONF
up.
THE Forepaugh-Sells Bros. circus
will exhibit In Connellsyille July 18th.
The aggregation is one OF the largest
OF the kind in existence.
SENECA has received one thousand
feet of splendid fire hose and a reel.
They will now be able TO fight fire
wit b something like an even chance.
IT is estimated that more than
double the number of bicycles have
been sold here this summer than
ever before in single season, and
the trade still keeps up.
A PAVEMENT has been laid on
either side Of the new post office build
ing from the street to the rear of the
building. This will make it very con-
venient for those who have to use the
back door.
Work on the railroad goes on with
a vim that means business. II this
pace is kept up track-laing will be-
gin long before the end OF the present
month. Col Gilmore has charge of
the construction force.
THERE are no camping clubs on
Cheat river but they are expected to
begin to arrive shortly. The season
is not yet far enough advanced for
them to begin to come on the scene.
STANTON LOWE, of Masontown,
Pa, was fatally injured yesterday by
the explosion Of a threshing machine
boiler. The explosion came just as
everything was in readiness to start
and before any threshing had been
done.
THE pleasure seek ers who went to
Warrington and Fairmont to spend
the Fourth have all gotten back
home. Some of them saw the ele-
plant in great shape while they
were gone.
You NC squirrels are beginning to
get large enough to shoot and the
nimrods are bagging few. The
sport however is not very exciting
on account of the triskey animals in
the woods
CLARK HALL has sold his bicycle
business to Guy Wiley and will fix no
more broken down wheels. He had
more than he could attend to in the
watch and clock repairing department
and did not feel justified in keeping
up the repairing of wheels.
THE kissing bug is creating havoc
In some localities and causing lips to
swell that have been free from guile for
years. The bug has not made its ap-
pearance here yet but we have always
had the kissing bee and it will always
be regarded as superior to the bug.
THE citizens are now being given
an opportunity to show how much in
terest they take in the celebration OF
Chadwick day. All who are asked tt
contribute are giving literally. II
will take several thousand dollars tt
make the day the notable one that it
will be.
THE gutter on Walnut street along
J. r. Miller's place is being repaired.
This kind of work will have to be
done all over town before things are
finally adjusted. The work should be
attended to in the summer and the
hard rains Of fall should not be allow
ed to come on to the bare dirt.
THERE are number of attorneys at
Uniontown spoken of as Judge Mes
TREATS successor when the latter be-
comes member OF the supreme
court of that state. Some of them
are: R. E. Umbel, R. H. Lindsey,
Thomas r. Wakefield, D. M. Hert-
zog and w. G. Mexican.
IN several counties near we notice
the local health boards are making
vigorous campaigns against filth and
are requiring citizens to put their
property in the best possible sanitary
condition. Morgantown is in far bet
ter shape than most towns but that
will be no reason to relax vigilance in
that direction.
HUcKLEBERRIEs are beginning to
get ripe although none have yet been
seen in market. There is said to be
a good crop of this berry and the
price will not be very high this sea-
son. The mountain people may be
expected to begin coming in with
them before very long.
Work on the Morgantown and
Kingwood railroad is progressing with
remarkable rapidlty. 1t will require
but very few weeks to have the old
road bed which is nearly ten miles
long ready for the ties and rails. The
course has been slightly changed in
places and the new line will be better
than the old one.
LOTs of people are making arrange
ments to go on the Rebekah excursion
on the twentieth. There is no more
pleasant way to spend day than on
the river. The ladies In charge of the
excursion are making great prepare
tions to insure a nice time for those
who go and the event will be one to
be long remembered.
TIE sidewalk at the lower end Of
Peasants street has been patched up
to make it uniform with the pave
ment and this helps things down there.
The plan should be followed more over
town. The sidewalks and pavements
separated by an uneven heap of dirt
does not help the looks of the town
and very little work will make it all
right.
THE Philippine and Hawaiian
Islands add about "a, 000,0 900 acres t.
to the public domain, and Specia
agent Doyle of the Land Office jus
back from the island, says these land !
will be open to subjects OF the United
States through homestead scheme
This scheme takes into account every
thing but the natives who pretty
thickly populate these islands already.
OF course, you can't keep West Vir-
ginians out Of the Philippine war even
if they don't do any fighting. Major
James j. Peterson, of the Charleston
Mail Tribune, has accepted the posi-
tion of interpreter to General Otis at
good salary, and will leave for his
post soon. Major Peterson was con-
sui to Tecucigalpa, Honduras, and is
a fluent Spanish scholar.
THE delinquent tax list is one of
the smallest in this county in the
state. This fact is very gratifying
