TORN UP.
PAYERS and Plumbers are Tearing
Spruce Street up In Every
Direction.

Spruce street is very much torn up.
Vehicles can not get along the lower
end Of it at all. The upper end is
still open and will not be closed for
some time yet. From Peasants to
Walnut street the PAYERS are in full
control. They are putting in the
curb and getting ready to place the
brick on the street.
The curbing is being put IN with a
foundation OF crushed stone and it is
being done according to the specifica-
tions. Every one who is noticing the
progress of the work is Of the opinion
that the contractor is trying to dc
what is right.
Brick laying will begin before very
long and the pavement will soon be
ready for use. Attention will theI
be turned to Peasants street which
is being left just now on account Of
the lack of curbing.
The upper end of Spruce that il
torn up is receiving the attention o.
the plumbers who are putting in new
lines for water and gas. This done
once there will be no need of disturb
ing the pavement for any reason.

THERE is growing stronger SEN
timent against the cadet corps going
away from here on Decoration Day
and the men are protesting as hard
as they can against the move They
do not want to go and had they un
derstood the matter when it was
proposed they would hardly have
voted to go is the opinion of many
of the members.
THE death of DIR. Lazier removes
from our midst one who has been
more or less prominent in Morgan
town for nearly half century. After
the close of the civil war in 1855 he
went into the drug business and con-
tinued for about 80 years until failing
health compelled his retirement. OF
late he has resided with his sister-in-
law Miss Lizzie Moreland. He leaves
two sons Arthur and Henry.

Clinton Furnace is the next place
in this county where an oil we'll will
be put down. That is If the reports
that are being brought in here are
authentic and the men making them
are firm in the conviction that the
work will begin at once.
They state that the tools for the
work are being placed in position
and that the well will begin to &C
down soon. The parties who are do
ing the prospecting are from Ohio
and but little can be learned of then
or their ideas ON the subject. They
evidently have faith in the territory
or they would not be here drilling

THE CHANGE.
Trains are Now Running Under the
New Arrangement = Mail on all
Trains on Sunday.


The change In schedule took place
on Sunday and we now have the same
trains on Sunday as on any other day.
They all carry mail to Morgantown
although there is still no mail clerk
on them and letters cannot be mailed
on the trains. The morning and
evening trains did not bring much
mail on the first day of the change be-
cause the clerks and postmasters had
not been notified to put mail on them
until the day was partly spent.
The people living along the line
were out in full force to see the extra
trains run on Sunday and the evening
train stopped at every flag station
Many people took advantage of it in
arranging their Sunday excursions.

he was accordingly taken up stairs in

On reaching the elevator the president

And before he knew what had happened
the Illinois senator was being carried to

forgot all his pains, and, with Il smile,
said:
You're a pretty good machine man,
after all, Mr.. President"
"Of course I am" said the president, as
he deposited the invalid senator safely on

Yes, Browning is certainly not preco-

Browning, already has dyspepsia almost
