Twentieth Century Offering Of Morgan
town.

DIR. Leech writes to the Nj. 4.
Times of the twentieth century Offer
ing as follows:
"We determined. at Morgantown,
that our Twentieth Century Offering
should largely be the proper financial
equipment Of the church for better
work and greater usefulness. In this
undertaking the following has been
recently accomplished. A mortgage
of eight hundred dollars on the par
sonage property has been paid. About
seven hundred dollars Of other indebt-
edness has been cancelled. The ex-
terror of the church is being placed In
first class condition. The auditorium
and Sunday school departments have
been made beautiful. These improve
ments on the edifice will aggregate an
expenditure of six or seven hundred
dollars. A new organ costing two
thousand dollars has been placed IN
the auditorium. All of this has been
done without mourning any indebted
ness and within three weeks we hope
to pay the final dollar on these inn
provements. The entire church prop.
erty is free from debt and in splendid
condition. The conference benevo-
lences were the largest in the history
Of the church. Almost weekly some
new member or members unite with
US, and the congregation and school
are full. We wish we had the money
to build such church as the seat Of
the State University should have.
DIR. Cameron merits and receives
the gratitude Of our people for his
heroic and successful efforts In giving
to Morgantown Methodism its mag
nificent parsonage, a residence of
which any Bishop Of the church might
be proud were it his private home.

Output of the Klondxke.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klon-
dyke fields the past season. The esti-
mate ranges from $40, 900, 900 to $685.
900, 000 Since the English govern
ment imposed royalty of 10 per cent.
the miners have adopted all sorts of
ruses to evade the law. 1t is rather
a difficult operation to dodge taxes,
but it is more difficult still to dodge a
bad cold and the grip at this time of
year. When the system is weakened
by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the
best medicine to take is Hostetter,s
Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds
up the system. Besides regulating
digestion, it overcomes constipation
in perfectly natural way 1t is good
for the kidneys and liver, too, stimu-
lating each of these organs into the
proper performance of their functions.
Nothing is so good for malaria.

Interesting Account Book.

Mr.. Joshua Russell, of Sistersville
has in his possession the book in
which was kept the account of the
letters sent out from the Slstersville
post Office in the years from 1919 to
1921 inclusive and it is one of the
most interesting relics we have seen
for long time. At that time there
were but two postoffices in Tyler
county, Middlebourne and Sistersville.
There were no stamps in use and let
tiers were either paid in advance or
sent collect, something similar to the
way of sending kilograms now. The
postmaster had to keep an account of
all the mail matter that went out and
came in, each piece being charged up
in the book. A letter to Middle
bourne in those days cost 81 cents, to
Wheeling ten cents: to Philadelphia
and Washington, 1s} cents and to
Richmond, Va, 25 cents. The pos
tage was charged according to the dis
lance the letter had to travel. Mr..
Russell's father was postmaster at
that time and the book was kept by
Enthusiastically Gazette.

OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.
Pennsylvania Railroad Official
Tells of The Extension.
Says That The p. v. sc. Is Coming
This Way-Part Of The General
scheme Of Activity in This Section
Fayette County Unusually Active
Good News all Rouud.

| food News all Round.
An official of the Pennsylvania rail
road gave the following interview t.
the Philadelphia Press:
"Uniontown, which is the county
seat Of Fayette county, is at present
the center Of unusual business activi-
ty. -Four large steel companies are at
work erecting large and improved
mining and coke plants. About 40
900 acres of nine foot coking coal
seams have been secured and are be-
ing opened at nine different points, at
each of which large coke ovens OF
modern construction are being estab-
lished.
'These works contemplate the
building OF from eight to ten thous-
and coke ovens during the next six
months. Stone quarrics are being
opened everywhere and large forces are
preparing the necessary yard for the
coke operation. This requires consid-
cradle amount OF sidings and tracks.
In every direction the country roads
are being usei by heavy teams, haul
ing boilers, timbers, fire brick, etc,
and most of the small bridges and
culverts are being crushed in by this
unusual traffic. When large piece
of machinery is being transported
from Uniontown into the interior a
freigting team is generally preceded
by two other teams carrying heavy
planks and timbers for the purpose of
strengthening these bridges and as
soon as the heavy load is transported
across the bridge the timber is taken
up and is In readiness to strengthen
the next weak bridge.
"The Southwest Pennsylvania rail-
road extensions OF the Pennsylvania
railroad are being rapidly pushed for
a distance OF thirteen miles south Of
Uniontown to point on the Monon-
gahela river where the line connects
with the low grade river line OF The
Monongahela division Of the Penn
sylyania railroad, which is projected to
extend into West Virginia as far as
Fairmont.
''In consequence of the great activi-
ty labor is high and all supplies used
for building manufacturing plants or
railroad extensions are hard to con-
tract for, and more difficult to secure.
1.-THE coke companies at Uniontown
are erecting plants with all modern
improvements which make it cheaper
to produce the coke. A large pump
ing station is being built and a main
has been run to the Monongahela riv-
er and the water is to be carried to
high point where it is to be distribu-
ted to the people Of Uniontown as
well as to the coke plants"

No Advertising, No Business.

Doubtless there are merchants
and manufacturers who have not
much faith in the efficacy of even
the best and most entertaining sort
of newspaper advertising. They can
not, of course, know its real value
until they shall have tried it. Yet
IL these same placid mortals should
take the trouble to look around them
and compare the extentof their bus
mess with that Of persistent aud ex-
tensive advertisers, they might. up
on reflection. see the nselessness of
trying to keep pace with the onward
march OF trade without publicity.
Good advertising brings patronage
and wealth

Wants No Dormitory.

One of the most determined fights
made by President Raymond, before
the legislature, last winter, was for an
appropriation to erect woman's dor
mitory at the University The legis-
lature doubted the propriety Of such
a building and many of the best peo-
pie of Morgantown were opposed to it.
The senate finally passed an appropri-
alton of 5000 but it was struck out
by the joint conference committee. to
the great distress of President Ray
mond. There are great many per-
sons who doubt the propriety of CO.
education, at the University, and
many more who are opposed to domi-
Cling the young ladies in dormitory.
Some recent escapades and scandals
at other schools have confirmed the
judgement of those who had their
misgivings.
The Morgantown Post, few days
ago, after referring to some of the
rowdyism practiced at co-education
schools, winds up by declaring that
Morgantown wants no dormitory for
girls. Charleston Gazette.

lad we not made the active fight
that we have for the industry it
would now have been doing business
IN some other town. AS in all other
lnoyes for the upbuilding Of the town
and county we have led and we ex-
pect to continue in the same way to
point out the advantages that are
within the reach of our people. They
nay at all times expect the New
DOMINION to be on the side of the in
dustrial upbuilding and advance
ment of the section from whence it
lraws it's large and ever growing
support.
The plant will be started at once.
There will be as little delay as may
be after the rest of the money is
raised and the work on the brick
aud stone work will be started i'm
mediatelv. The location of the fac
tory will be near the Seneca plant
on the riverside just above the Sene-
ca.
The works will be started to max
ing glass about the first to the Middle
of February. They will begin with
one hundred and fifty hands and will
in the next twelve months if the pres
ent activity in glass circles continues
give employment to from three to four
hundred hands.
They will have two six pot furnaces
and will have a larger plant and
equipment than Seneca and will event
ually employ more people IN getting
out their product. All kinds of ware
will be made and they will be ready
to make any thing that is made Of
glass. Their product will be market
ed along with the Seneca output and
both will profit by this arrangement.
Morgantown has not yet decided to
take any backward steps but she came
very near taking it this time. Had
the factory been located elsewhere
the town would have suffered very
severely. As it is greater era of
prosperity than even that which we
are now enjoying will be ours during
the coming year.

REAL HEAD.
Morgantown Will Continue t.
be Head of Navigation.

Completion OF Locks and bans Above
here Will net Side track This Place
New Packet Line Between Here aud
Fairmont Coal viii Come
Down the River.
Morgantown will likely remain the
most important point on the upper
rivers even after the prestige of being
the head of slackwater navigation is
taken away from here by the extern
| sion Of the system OF locks and dams
through to Fairmont. The upper riv-
er will not have a great deal OF COM
merce plying on its bosom according
to several authorities.
Among those who think that Nor
gantown will remain the real head OF
navigation is Capt. NJ. A. Cox, of
Brownsville, Pa, who is In command
Of the James G. Blaine. In speaking
about the probability Of Falrmont,
w. Va, becoming the head Of nayi-
cation on the Monongahela river for
the Pittsburg, Brownsville and Ge-
neva packet line, he said that he did
not think his line would run boats
through 10 that point when the con-
templated slack-water Improvement
is completed.
1t is also his opinion that little coal
will be shipped by river from that
point, for at least years to come.
Coal, he says, can be shipped TO
Wheeling cheaper by rail and loaded
in barges for shipment south, for the
reason that the distance from Fair
mont to Wheeling is not as great as
from Fairmont to Plttsburg. aud
then, he says, when boats get To
Wheeling they are over the worst part
OF the Ohio river. He says that In
time the Morgantown line may run a
packet from Morgantown to Fairmont
making connections for Pittsburg at
the former place.
Mr.. G. /. Mcdonald the contractor
is Of the same opinion. He thinks
that the coal would be sent across the
country and that the dams were never
intended to be any thing more than
storage reservoirs for the replenishing
OF the lower pools in time Of drouth.
This was the main reason that the
river men urged their building.
The completion of the Short Line
from ClarAsburg to New Martinsville
slll also carry lot of coal from that
vicinity to the Ohio river over that
line and this will also draw from as

Said

the Admiral is Being Hnrt-What II
Said.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The house
which Admiral Dewey's admirers pre-
scented to him a few weeks ago, to-day
passed formally out of his possession
1t was decided in trust by the admiral
to his secretary, John w. Crawford,
who in turn Immediately transferred
it to the admiral's wife. This action
caused surprise as it was announced a
few days ago that the admiral had de
cided not to transfer the property be-
cause OF the adverse comment ELECTED
by the premature publication of his
plan.
And the condemnation of ohe act
is almost invariably followed by an
| inquiry as TO the cause that prompted
it. The gossips are answering the in
quiry in way that threatens TO turn
the whole affair into comedy and
put the country on the grin, at the
admiral's expense. They are whisper
ing that there is woman in the case
--one who claims to have had reason
make her his bride when he returned
from abroad instead Of the woman on
whom his choice really fell This
woman, the gossips say, has shown a
disposition to resent the admiral's
practical Reputation of her alleged
claims on him, and has threatened to
appeal to the courts for redress in the
form of damage for breach of promise
to marry.
These threats, the knowing ones
allege, constitute the pressing reason
for the admiral's haste in transferring
his home to his wife. The name Of
the threatening dame has not yet
found it's way into the mouths of the
gossips, but the report that there is
such one is common in Washington.
Everyone is discussing it with ayidity.
They point to the mystery which was
thrown about the admiral's marriage,
and to the circumstantial evidence
that there is truth in the story.
But the general feeling is one of
keen regret that such gossip should
be connected with name so Illus
trious as that Of Dewey, and of hope
that when all the facts are allowed
to come out the admiral will be shown
to be blameless and the gossips tales
without substantial foundation.
New YORK, Nov. 22-The woman
mentioned in the Washington Dis
patch as contemplating suit against
Admiral Dewey for breach of promise
to marry is alleged to be Mrs. Dora
Kent an employe in the Brooklyn navy
yard. She denies the truth Of the re-
port.

EWING APPOINTED
Governor Names Successor to Judge
Mestrexat.


HARRISBURG, Nov. 24-Samuel q.
Ewing, of Uniontown, was appointed
by Governor Stone to the vacancy on
the Fayette county bench created by
the resignation of Supreme Judge-elcct
Mestrezat and the promotion OF
Judge Reppert as President Judge.
The appointment takes effect imme-
diately and expires the first Monday
Of next January, when Judge-elect
Robert e. Umbel assumes the duties
of additional law Judge.
Judge Ewing is brother OF ex-
Judge Nathaniel e. Ewing, the Re-
publican candidate who was defeated
at the recent election by Judge Um-
bel and who threatens to contest the
seat OF his successful competitor. No
reason is assigned by the Governor for
appointing Ewing TO this vacancy
when Judge Umbel holds a certificate
of election from the executive begin
aing the first Monday OF next JaDu-
airy and running for the full term OF
10 years.
Umbel is Democrat and managed
Judge Mestrezat's campaign for SUI
preme Court Judge. Ewing is a Re
publican and this probably explains
the Governors action 10 appointing
him instead Of the Judge elect.
Governor Stone rendered ex-Judge
Nathaniel Ewing the appointment to
the vacancy during his campaign.
The ex-Judge declined, however, on
the plea that he could make a more
aggressive canvass for election of the
bench than on. He vas rendered the
appointment after the election and
again declined, then the Governor APP
pointed his brother. Judge Mestre.
Eats wife was sister Of the Ewinge.
