ANOTHER TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Powerful Independent Company Com.
ing This Way-Will Try to Take mp
Local Companies.

There is another telephone compa-
ny heading this way and before
many months there will be power
fus rival for the Bell people in the
field in Morgantown. This is the
Pennsylvania and Maryland system
that has become so powerful in Fay
cite county to the north of us. This
system has large exchanges in I'm
iontown, Connellsville and other
towns in the coke belt.
The plans of the company contem-
plate it's entrance in this section and
its extension into the central part of
the state after the large towns there.
1t will make great improvements all
along. The company will try to get
control Of the local independent com
panies wherever it can.
Morgantown is already one of the
greatest telephone towns in the
United States and the entrance OF a
new company will add great many
to those we already have.

A GOOD SHOW.
The Wilson Company is Pleasing the
Patrons Of the Opera House
Very Highly.

The performance of the 'sMort-
gagged Slave" at the Opera House last
night was very fine one. The per-
formers all did their parts we'll.
Miss niIca is one of the finest if not
the best emotional actress that ever
visited Morgantown and the rest of
the company support her better than
any other cast that has ever appeared
here with troupe of this class.
The scenic effects were very good.
The audience enjoyed the specialties
greatly. Taking it all in all there is
no room to kick on what is given you
by the Wilson company. They will
give a matinee this afternoon and
will close the weeks engagement to-
night. They will have crowded
houses on both occasions.

A SUCCESS
Cradle Songs Of Many Nation Makes a
Great Hit Friday Night.

The entertainment given last night
at the Presbyterian church was one of
the most successful ever given by
children in the town. The music was
of a high character and represented
the favorite cradle songs of the vari-
Gus nations. The children were dress
ed in costumes of the countries they
represented, and ssmade a novel and
pleasing appearance. Both the Choir
US and solo work was well rendered
and many of the numbers were en-
Enthusiastically applauded. The atten-
dance was good. Much credit is due
for the success of the affair to Mrs.
Buchanan, Mrs. Emory, Miss Mary
Jolliff and Miss Bessie Davis.

SOME men who are careful observ-
ers and are always looking to wind
ward say that panic or business
collapse should one come will do less
damage here than almost anywhere
else. The growth in this vicinity
would probably not be seriously af-
fected in such an event and small
proportion of our people are involv-
ed to such degree that foreclosure
would be necessary. The building
of railroads, the river improvement
and numerous large private enter
prises would probably not stop. The
gentleman's idea is that only very
few who are hanging on the ragged
edge anyway would succumb.

THEY HAVE AGREED.
Warning Factions in Junior Law Class
Come to n Conclusion-W VIII Elect on
Tuesday Night.

The Junior law class met on Fri
day afternoon and acted on the mat
ter of election of officers which ha.
been giving them trouble. At the
last meeting the ballot had resulted
in Hodges receiving 81 votes and
Stewart % out of total voting mem
bership of So The ballot was thrown
out. Both sides agreed to meet on
Tuesday night and decide the matter
finally.
Stewards friends have taken excep-
ton TO the inference that they had
stuffed the ballot box and we very
eheerfully state on their behalf that
no enc has any such an impression
and that such a claim has never
been made. They have acted very
fairly in the matter and agreed to
postpone the election until Tuesday.
They could have elected on Friday as a
part of the opposing faction had to
be absent from the town but they did
not press the advantage thus gained.
The candidates are in the best of
humor and the contest has been con-
Quoted between them In very COM
mendable manner. Both of them are
young men Of exceptional ability and
standing and either would make.a
very worthy presiding officer for the
class.

RAILROAD REVOLUTION.

Recommendation Likely to be Made
by the Industrial Commission own
ership OF the Honongahela Na,lga.
tion Co.'S, Works Cited remendou
Change In Manner Of Running Rail-
roads May Come Soon
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-It is de-
clared by a member of the Industrial
Commission, who claims TO have pref
ty thoroughly sounded his fellow mem
hers, that nothing Is more probable
than that recommendation will be
made TO Congress for the ownership
OF railroads sby the Government.
Several of the commissioners have
pronounced themselves without re-
serve in favor ef this system as the
only means by which the people, as
mass, can be freed from discrimina-
ton in favor OF the larger shipper, at
the expense OF the lesser
The commission has prepared
most elaborate exhibit showing the
cost Of all the trunk lines, the amount
invested, the watering of stock, the
manipulation Of dividends In the in
terests OF speculation, the lines which
it is most desirable TO wrest from pri-
vate ownership, the sum which they
should cost the Government the
amount of revenue that would accrue,
with the advantages that would re-
suit TO the general shipper.
1t will be shown, 1t Is said. that the
investment would not only be vast
ly profitable one to the Government,
but Of Unreasonable beneilcence to
the masses In the cheapening of fares
and freights. One OF the arguments
will be that II the Government engage
in the postal business, and improve
ment OF rivers and harbors at an out
lay OF many millions Of dollars an
nually there Is no reason why the
same power should not interfere in
the interests of those who use the
railroads instead of the waterways.
The purchase, 1T Is alleged, Of the
locks and dams OF the Monongahela
Navigation Company will be cited, by
way of illustration, that the Govern
ment Is already an investor in means
of transportation for the benefit Of
the people and that there is no valid
reason why IL should not go farther
and own highway OF another kind,
on which the people may run their
own craft in the form OF cars or be
furnished trains by the people and
for the people.
or course, also, there will be no
end of statistics in regard to the own
ership Of railroads In foreign coun-
tries. 1t may easily be imagined,
however, how such suggestion will
be received by a Congress which is
composed by a large majority of
lawyers who are interested in the
preservation of the present system.
Testimony will be adduced, neverthe-
less, from men of this kind, and even
from officials OF railroads, in favor of
the proprietorship OF trunk lines by
the people, that is, the Government.

Made.
The new reservoir is completed and
is now ready for the water to be turn
ed into it. The last of the cement
work is done and nothing remains now
but the dodding OF the embankment
and this will be done right away
Mcdonald and Fogle have done the
cementing work. They are the same
people who are building the dams on
the river between this place and Fair
mont
The reservoir will hold over d mil
lion gallons of water and it will afford
enough for all the needs of the town
for a long time to come. The huge
affair has been built on the hill to the
south of town and is fifty-ffve feet
higher than the old tanks. The wa
ter pressure in consequence will be
better than the old regime when it
was enough for all practical purposes.
A trip to the location of the reservoir
will pay anyone who makes it.
The water was turned in on Friday
night and everyday little more will
be added in order to test it and
find where il in any place it leaks.
1t is hoped that it will leak at no
place at all. 1t cannot be told just
when the thing will be ready to use
permanently but it will depend en-
tirely on circumstances. 1t will be
as soon as it can be gotten ready.
The feed pipes from the reservoir
will be run over TO town across the
ravine and strike the water pipes at
the lower end of Main street. An
eight inch line leaves the source and
comes for some distance when it runs
into six inch one. This will give
plenty of water and pressure.
Improvements are being made in
every department Of the water supply.
A new pump has been put in with a
capacity Of one thousand barrels an
hour. New f1lterers have arrived that
will filter this as it goes into the pipes
but they are not ready to use yet
They have been set up and will be
started soon. Morgantown is now
assured of an abundant and a pure
water supply and that without having
to wait very long for it. 1t is some
thing that has been needed here ever
since the town got too big for the
Tibbs Run supply several years ago.
The old tanks will be left as they
are and used as reserves in case Of
emergency. Later it is expected to
put another reservoir on the hills to
the east of town and at the same level
as the one to the south.
