stopped it then. 1t will go right on
now with only the stops due to The.
same influence and it will suuh be-
ready for the stone work to begis.
Number ten will soon be locked
after and the only thing that has pre-
vented a resumption OF the work has
been the weather This factor will
not much longer prevent men from
starting again and they will be glad
Of the chance.
Several of the locks are expected to
be completed this summer or at least
gotten well under way. The work
last year was largely preliminary in
its character and nothing very much
was expected to be accomplished.
The contractor this year will try to
get large part Of the work done.
He is anxious to have it go on and he
will not be remiss In pushing it.
The road above Randall which has
been getting worse all winter is now
in a terrible state. No wagons or
buggies can get past and it is barely so
that horse to pass. There are
slides on the lower side Of the road
and the hill side on the upper side is
trying to take up all the road way.
Between the two there Is very little
left to pass on. The county will be
at great big expense fixing this.
The reason for the terrible state of
affairs is due to the quarry which
has been opened on the hill side in
order to get stone for the locks.
The contractor besides tearing up the
road like he has has also it is alleged
gone off and left number Of hands
in the soup. Mcdonald states that
he has paid the contractor and that
he is not responsible so that the men
are out of It, They have some guar
antee that they will get it later how.
ever. A great many of the men who
have been kept out of their money
are residents of this county.

LETTER FROM MANILA.

Fellow Is given letter from voting
man who is well known here. He is
now at Manila with the tenth regi-
ment and is one of the wounded. He
wrote the letter to his parents who
live at Uniontown. He is Carl Debolt
and he has spent several summers in
Morgantown. The letter is as follows:
/ expect you will hear of me being
wounded before you get this letter, so
you have had lots of time to worry.
There is no use in worrying at all, be-
cause my wound is nothing but flesh
wound. The ballet struck me in the
back just below the shoulders aud

ing cut out just above the hips; but it
never was deeper than just under the

1t wont make great relic. l was
sent on outpost Saturday evening,
Feb. 4th, and every thing was quiet
until about 10 o'clock. The natives
commenced firing on some Of our out
posts. They kept it up. having some
pretty big battles in some places, I'M
til morning, then / think the natives
would like to have stopped and taken
little rest, but that was not the way
they were to get of, for we got orders
from Dewey, who is our governor gen.
eral now, to storm everything III
sight and that Is what we did all the
way along the American lines. We
have killed more natives in the -four
days battle than they lost in Is year,
fighting with the Spanish. Their
dead Is estimated at 10 600 and twice
that many wounded. So you see We
have got Aguinaldo's army pretty well
fixed. They are laying down their
arms and coming back to meet our
army with the white flag, but our men
have orders to show them no mercy
what ever and not to recognize the
white flag and to take no explanations
from them.

Still More Counterfeitiue.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and
secured a large quantity OF bogus
bills, which are so cleverly executed
that the average person would never
suspect them of being spurious.
Things Of great value are always Sc
lected by counterfeiters for simita-
tion,. notably the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
nervousness and general debility.
The Bitters setj things right In the
stomach, and when the stomach is In
good order it makes good blood and
plenty Of 1t. In this manner the Bit
tiers get at the seat Of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debiliated. Beware OF counter
feiters when buying.
