terminable hours chatting with
Apache George" watching his leafs OF
craftsmanship and skill
One morning TEX" was gone, the
actor, too. No man of old camp '4g'
has seen either of them since, and their
fate and whereabouts remain a mys-
terry.
George sat around the camp for sew
eral days, quiet, moody, gazing at the
ground and the toes of his Apache moe
casins- One day he, too, was gone.
and the camp moved on it's routine way
without him.
A few days ago rough rider, Fred
Little by name, once a member of camp
~, and wandering adventurer
through recent years, was walking
down Dearborn street, Chicago, leading
the famous mascot bulldog of the Rooss~
welt regiment. An acquaintance stopped
him, and questioned him as to the fate
OF sundry people. Soon the conversa-
ton turned to Apache George
George was in the regiment" said
the rough rider. "Quietest man in the
whole outfit-never had a word to say
to anybody. Just lugged his gun and
sawed wood. Wouldn't talk about
anything-'Tex' last of all When we
went up the hill he was in front of me.
He whirled around. and dropped Much
hurt, George? said l. L hope so, Fredl'
said he, and never spoke again He's
buried down there, and that was the
finish of Apache Georgei'"
Possibly TEX" has long forgotten
the Apache rifieman- Possibly he was
one of those men who can be set aside.
but can never be forgotten.-C Chicago

The following wise counsel given by
the noted Henry Ward Beecher to his
son may help in the formulation of
some good resolves.
You must not go into debt Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make
it fundamental rule: No debt-cash
or nothing.
Make few promises. Religiously
observe the smallest promise. A man
who means to keep his promises can
not afford to make many
Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frank
ness, no guesSwork. Either nothing
or accurate truth.
When working for Others sink your
self out of sight; seek their interest.
Make yourself necessary to those who
employ you: by industry, fidelity and
scrupulous integrity. Selflshness is
fatal.

COAL DEALS.
A Correspondent at Hoult Tells of Move
In Black Diamonds.

The Hoult correspondent of the
Free Press has the following:
A few days ago Mr.. Churchyard and
Mr.. Skinner, of Buffalo, N. Y, in
company with Mr.. Thomas, U. S. En-
gineer in charge of lock No 10, of
MorgantOwn, were here. The two
first named gentlemen were looking
over the sight of lock No. Is, with a
view of sub-contracting the building
of the two upper locks, Nos. IA and
Is.
While the Aurora Coal mines are
still lying idle we will soon have new
coal works here, as Harmon Snider
has given an option on his coal lands,
and we are informed by one who is in
position to know that it will soon
change into hands of people who will
open it
1t is also rumored that the Monta-
ma Coal Co. people have bought the
Brittian tract of coal below this place.
We don't know how true it is, but
hope it may be true, as it lies close to
our village and will be Of advantage
to Us.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Satan's annual crop reports show
large returns from vanity.
Good resolutions are like basting
threads; they are not intended to stay.
Homesickness is getting something
you wished for, and then wishing for
something you didn't get.
If there had been two Ewes they
would not have needed the apple to
start dressing match.
A married woman who flirts can re-
spect everybody but her husband and
the wife Of the man she fiirfs with; a
married man can respect everybody
but himself and the woman who fiirts
with him.
Through open-work stockings show
more vanity than anything else.
Plain outer garments conceal the
daintiest ribbons and the fieeciest lin
gerie.
The first time woman flirts she
mistrusts herself; afterward, the other
person.
When woman first likes a man
she thinks Of him in armor or stop
ping runaway horse; when she gets
to know him better she thinks of him
with bandage around his throat or
grooming while he takes off a porous
plaster.

LARGEST In THE WORLD.
Eighty Coal Companies in West vir-
ginia formed into gigantic COM
hine,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. IL
The Kanawha and New River opera
tors adjourned to-day after having
agreed upon plan of consolidation to
be known as the Kanawha and New
River Consolidated Coal Company.
1t will be the largest concern of its
kind in the world, with daily eapac-
ity of 40, 900 bushels, which will be
increased within six months to So
900 bushels. 1t will embrace so COM
panies in the two districts The OBJ
ject is TO pool the product of all the
mines, the individual operators to be
paid at an agreed rate and all the coal
to be sold through two agencies.
Most of the shipments will be made
by rail- as heretofore, river shipments
being less remunerative to operators.
The Kanawha has served principal
ly as facility for shipping the excess
product. The New river coal is firm
product, suitable for steamships, and
is technically termed Underwater coal
along the coast. 1t is handled by the
Chesapeake & Ohio coal fuel agency OF
New York The Kanawha coal Is
handled by the Chesapeake & Ohio
Fuel Company, of Cincinnati. These
two agencies will be retained. Cen
eral j. w. ST. Clair, who Is attorney
for the consolidated interests. will APP
ply for State charter next week, and
another meeting OF the operators will
be held on Thursday.

UNIONTOWN's POLE TAX.
The Revenue from this will yield the
borough $1,000.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 1.-The
race among the various telephone and
telegraph companies OF the town to
monopolize all the space along the
streets and alleys with their poles and
wires, eliminated this week in the
action of council in imposing ''pole
tax of so cents on each pole in the
borough. The tax, II sustained by
law, will prove considerable source
of revenue for the town, as the esti-
mated number of poles on the differ
ent streets and thoroughfares is 3, 900.
Any attempt on the part OF the COM
panies to squirm out Of paying the tax
will be promptly carried into the
courts.

Last Nights Play.

To say that Mr.. Mortimer gave
perfect presentation of s'Ten Nights
in q Barroomn is putting it mild. In
his hands this venerable play rises to
the dignity Of a high class dramatic
production.
So wildly realistic was Mr.. NORTH
mer's impersonation Of the drunkard
that IL he were not well known as
total abstainer the audience would
easily believe him to be actually under
the influence of liquor.
Not only did Mr.. Mortimer give us
the best Joe Morgan ever seen here
but the parts assumed by the other
members Of the company were delin-
Gated in a superior manner without
exception.
The word competition resulted in
the Sterling Silver bracelet being
awarded to Miss Lulu Weaver while
Master George Parker received the
foot ball having made upwards of
$500 words from the name Chas. Nor
timeT-the largest correct list yet
made and prepared in the neatest
manner OF any Mr.. Mortimer had re-
ceived in his extended career.
Supplementary rewards were be-
slowed upon those who came End and
3rd best. Tonight Mr.. Mortimer
plays 1.-The President" and the house
will no doubt be jammed.

CROWNED WITH SUCCESS.
DR.. White will have no trouble
with his appropriations.

Geo!0gicalssurvey. will get all that II
asked for and:more il it is needed
What has.led to this disposition on
the part of the legislature--Pr Press,
Reports, Map aud coal men are the
factors rosy outlook.
DIR. |. G. White is back from
Charleston where he has been look
ing after the appropriation for the
support of the survey Of which he is
director. He is very jubilant over
the prospect. He has assurances
that everything is all right and that
the legislature looks at the survey as
they should The doctor came away
with the promise of getting not only
what he asked for but as much more
as may be needed.
This condition of affairs is due to
the splendid report put out recently
OF the needs of the state and the
map which has just been issued
showing foretaste of what can be
done If the means are afforded. The
press Of the state has given him
unanimous support in the work md
their efforts have done much to
place the work in the proper light
before those who hold the purse
strings.
The members of the coal exchange
which was formed down at Charles
ton were very powerful allies. There
were seventy OF these and they
turned themselves into a powerful
lobby to see to it that each member
of the legislature do what he could
to place this state ia proper place
among the sisterhood of states.
All of this combined with what
the members already knew of the
utility of the scheme disposed them
to go it the whole length and here
after there need be no fears of the
fate of the survey from Indifferent
and hostile legislatures.
The survey appropriation bill will
carry with it good amount OF coin
and the progress OF the work will
not be held back any longer. 1t will
be rapidly pushed and before very
long the good hard dollars that it
will mean to the state will begin to
roll in on us. Morgantown has ev-
cry reason to be proud OF the consid-
Grafton that has been shown to her
distinguished son and the state can
congratulate itself on the outlook.

We again remind the citizens OF
this town and county that the pivi-
toll period in the history of the Free
Bridge campaign is Monday the -
day of February 1899
If that day passes without the
people making any sign, the County
Court may very consistently say
Whats the use bothering about a
dead thing-it can't bite. =
The County Court is already in
different, and if the people are indif-
ferent, indifference will carry the
day.
The least the business men Of the
community can do is to go to the
court house on Monday and show
their mettle. Every body who thinks
he has any interest in the prosperity
of this town and county ought to
gather up his feet and go. II he
waits to be invited or pulled to
the court house, or depends on
somebody else raking his chestnuts
out of the fire, he ought to be com
PEELED to swim the river as kind of
patriotic discipline.
Let it be understood that every
body who has an interest in a free
bridge will be at the court house on
Monday, Feb 18th at o'clock.

THE BILL PASSED.
Daytons bill gets through the
House and goes to the Senate.

1t authorizes the building of new
bridge here-Plans to be approved
by the secretary Of war Must be
built in three years-Tiie bridge
problem and the only solution-Price
can be fixed all right at any time to
the satisfaction Of Decision to
buy is all that lis essential Other
things can be easily fixed.
Congressman Dayton's bill authori-
zing the construction of a bridge over
the Monongahela river at Morgantown
has passed the house.
This bill authorizes a structure not
obstructive TO navigation, to be built
on plans to be approved by the Secre-
tary Of War. The bridge must be fin
ished within three years after the pas
sage of the act. The bill now goes to
the Senate.
The new bridge move will not solve
the problem of a free bridge but is
one full of complications which will
readily disclose themselves TO anyone
who may take few moments to think
about the matter. The cost of a new
bridge will be SO great that it will de-
feat itself on that score. The owners
of the old bridge will at once get out
an injunction to prohibit the county
court from running their property;
there is no other site suitable. These
and number of other objections any
one of which is enough to fix the
question will be seen at glance.
There is but one solution of the
bridge question. On that score there
can be no dispute. And that is to
buy the old bridge and buy it at once.
1t is offered for less than the stone
work and approaches cost. 1t will
answer all practicable purposes for
years to come. The county will many
times over get It's money out of the in
yestment. The freeing of the bridge
will not be felt by the general mass
of the taxpayers. 1t can be paid for
in two years without raising the levy
one cent.
Ii there was any possibility of get
ting new bridge we would not be SO
thoroughly in favor of the old. Any

want. But we don't want costly
and tiresome law suit just on the
start for free bridge. That's what
we will have in case the new bridge
idea is pushed
The owners Of the old bridge are
very reasonable in their demands.
They do not ask near what they can
get out of the structure either as an
Investment or from it's sale to another
private company. They have acted
very moderately and they should be
taken at their word.
Or II the county court wants they
can put jury on the bridge and let
what they decide as just compensa-
tion stand for It's price. This matter
CT price is immaterial since there is
but one thing that can be don e and
that is to buy the old bridge. The
court can show that it is in earnest
in but one way and that is by decid
ing to buy the old bridge. They can
then decide on the price with the full
assurance that they will more than
get their moneys worth and that in no
other way can they get the results
which they say they wish to reach.

FURTHER NOTICE.
Frank Lazier's Death is Official
ly Confirmed.
Box of His Effects received by his Cou-
sin DIR. A. NJ Lazier-Mementoes
Presented by Friends will be Re-
turned to Them-Many Other Relics
Expected No Additional Details of
His Death Received Monument for
His Mothers Grave.

HIS UOtnef1S UraFe.
DR.. A. NJ. Lazier has received the
official notice of the death of Frank
Lazier the marine who had been at
tached to the Baltimore This con-
firmed the letter which was received
from Frank chum by Jesse L. Tur-
ner announcing the death shortly
after it occurred. Many people had
rather doubted that he had really
died as the official notice had not
reached here ahead Of private letters
but there is probably some good
reason for this.
The notice asked about the dispo
sition of his effects and the money
that was coming to him. This will
be attended to at once.
Aside from this number of relics
have reached here from Chin. These
consist of several pictures of Frank
and many OF the souvenirs seat him
by his friends in Morgantown. These
will be returned to the donors. An
other consignment is expected in a
short time and all the curios which
he has picked up since he went away
from here will be forwarded to this
place.
A dying request of Franks that
his mothers grave have a suitable
monument erected on it with part
of his money has been received and
this will be attended to religiously
No additional details of the death
or burial have been sent but this
was probably not deemed necessary
by the people who knew of the letter
that had already come and the navy
department did not have anything
additional to send.
The many friends of Frank here
who sent him mementoes can get
them by calling on DR.. Lazier who
will turn them over to the donors as
soon as they are claimed or identi-
fed in any way.
