in the place and asked the proprietor where
it came from.
1T was the property Of the Grant Club

the club disbanded its property was sold
by auction and the clubhouse was torn
down. A gentleman bought this panel at
the auction sale, and l purchased it from
him. 1t was screwed upon an oak plank

STUDENT MISSING.
Dunn Steel has done stole Com
pletely Away.
Thought to have gone to Mexico cheap
Novels have Fired his Imagination
Unayailing search by Pittsburg Pc
lice Father OF the Boy il Alarmed.

Hue amer ga inc ks0t ~ AtaEHtue
Dunn Steel student at the Uni
versity from the lower end of the
State has been missing for some
time having left school while the ex
aminations were in progress. No
trace of him has been found since
that time and his father, d. j Steel,
secretary and treasurer of the Key
stone Coal and Coke Company OF
keystone has been in this section
hunting for him.
The boy was young fellow and
had infiamed his mind by reading
trashy cheap novels Hearing lee
ture on Mexico and the strange Gus
toms of that country delivered at
the University he determined to go
there and grow up with the country.
When money was sent him to go
home with be had the opportunity to
get away and he took the boat for
Pittsburg. The fact that he had
gone was found out and the police in
Pittsburg were notified to head him
off and hold him until his brother
Harry who was also a student here
could come after him.
The police misunderstood the in
structions and they met the train
instead of the boat. Consequently
the wanted young man escaped their
clutches. His father was notified
that he had gone and he came here
to investigate. Finding out very
little about the whereabouts of the
boy he went to Pittsburg and Greens
burg on the hunt for him.
He had relatives at Greensburg
and formerly visited them. 1t was
thought that possibly he was there
now. Inquiry showed that he has
not been at Greensbnrg since leaving
here
Detectives have been engaged to
track him down and a more vigor-
Gus search than ever will be institu-
ted for the missing boy. His father
has become alarmed at his disap-
pearance.
The boy was not very good stu
dent and was badly discontinued
with the school besides being of an
adventurous turn of mind and hav.
ing this still further inflamed by the
perusal of the novels that decided
him to take the step he has just
taken.

NO INVITATION.
Miners Have Not Heard Of any Advance
I'm Wages.

The coal operators along the Ka-
nawha and New rivers have run the
price of coal up Is cents on the ton.
The diggers have stood by during
these rapid advances in the price of
coal with their ears open waiting for
an invitation from the mine owners TO
come forward and receive their share,
but they got no hint of anything of
the kind. The miners not being
offered any share of advance in the
price of coal, they called district
convention and resolved to put the
price Of digging coal up Is cents on
the ton.
What will follow can only be guess
ed at, but it is probable the course of
action will not be varied much from
the old way of doing it. The bosses
will refuse to pay the advance. The
diggers will quit work and the bosses
will apply to the court for an Injunc-
tion to prevent them from strolling
loose about the works.

WEST YIRGINIA'S
GREATEST INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Showing FROM In
spector Paul's Report

OF the Mines In the State Her Rapid
Growth will Soon FIRING her Produce
tion up to the Nstch Next to Pennsyl-
Yania-- This Estimate Does not In
ciude the Prospective Development
In the MonongaheIa Valley.
Inspector Paul has just finished his
report of the coal and coke industry
of the state for the year ending June
80, 1899, and there is gratifying In
crease In the production in each class.
West Virginia is now second ia coke,
and is likely soon TO pass Ohio in coal
and become secoRd only to Pennsyl-
vana.
A summary OF his report states:
In point OF production of coal and
coke, men employed, days worked aud
general activity Of the mining indus
try OF the state, the year closed ex-
ceeds all past periods of the same
length. Quietly, but surely aud safe
ly the state continues TO grow In the
production OF coal and coke. Occupy
ing the second place as a coke produ-
Ger In the United States and follow
Ing third in coal production, with less
than 5000, 900 tons TO gain to occupy
a place second only to the state OF
Pennsylvania, 1t Is a safe prediction
to venture the assertion that In less
than three years the state will be the
second coal producing state Ia the
United States.
"For the year ending June 30th the
state produced l6, 251, 062 tons of coal
of 3, 240 pounds each, and 1903, S6s
tons of coke, 1000 pounds each.
'sF'or the calendar year 1899 the
present condition warrants the state
ment that the production of coal will
be 1900, 900 and OF coke 1880, 1000
tons.
During the past year there were en-
ployed at the mines and coke ovens
81, 1876 men. an increase over last year
OF ! 1856 men. The number of days
worked was 240 an increase over last
year OF sixteen days. In fact, the
state is getting It's share of the indus
trial activity so manifest in all parts
Of the country.
s'In point Of production the coun-
ties are In the following order:
Coal. Fayette; 2, Mcdowell; 3
Marion; 4, Kanawha; 5; Mercer, g.
Mineral; I, Tucker; s, Harrison; 0
Mingo; 10, Preston; IL, Taylor; IL,

Mercer; 4, Marion; 5, Tucker; 6, Pres
ton; I, Raleigh; 8, Kanawha; Q, Bar
bour; 10, Harrison; IL, Monongalia.
s'The number of tons of coal pro-
duced by machines during the past
year is /, 1873, 279 an increase OF 662,
986 tons on the previous year The
total number OF machines In the state
is 40 an increase of A on the previous
year.
A general summary Of the coal and
coke production for the year Is DIS fol-

STUDENT MURDERER.
Former University Boy Kills a
Man IN Logan

ed 0ne-Sheriif In Whose Charge the
Prisoner is Placed Allows Him to
Escape Murderer was Very Quiet
Difldent hoy.
The following special has been re-
ceived here:
MATEwAN, w. Va. Dec. 27.-
Wayne Hatfield, son OF Elias Hat
field, of Logan county, and brother
of Gremary and Doc Hatfield. shot
and killed son of George Hatfield,
OF Ben Creek, this county, in Gromer's
store, being an unprovoked murder.
Wayne was pursued across the riv-
er by r. w. Buskirk and arrested In
Kentucky. Buskirk turned him over
to Ballard Hatfield, the deputy sher-
iff OF Pike county, Ky, who had seen
the killing, but the Pike county dep
uty soon let his prisoner escape.
Much Indignation exists over the con-
duct of both the corporation and Pike
county officers.
Wayne's father was alleged TO have
been among the party that killed the
three Mccoy boys on the opposite side
OF the river some years age, at the be-
ginning of this feud, and is nephew
of "Bad Ans" and cousin OF Elias.
Wayne Hatfield was formerly stu
dent at the University and was here
for several years. While he was In
Morgantown he seemed to be very
quiet inoffensive young fellow and
had very little to say TO anyone He
made many friends in the town and
school.
However it was known that he was
a dead shot as one vacation while at
home he distinguished himself by
shooting down a prisoner who tried
to escape from Jail. His father was
jailer of the county and Wayne was
giving the inmates OF the Jail their
breakfast.
One OF them started to escape and
he halted him by breaking his ley
with forty-five pistol ball. Since
leaving the University nothing has
been heard of him until the present
outbreak took ploce. AS far as is
known be has not yet been recaptured.
