PETITIONS OUT.
KingwOod and Morgantown Railroad
Bond Question Up Again.

Morgantown Dominion.
Petitions concerning the bonds
for the railroad proposed to be built
mp Decker's Greek are being circu-
lated. These are being signed by
great many people Of the district
through which it is proposed to
construct the road.
These petitions will be laid before
the County Court when the required
three-fifths of the district have
signed them. The Court at the
special session some time ago re-
fused to submit the proposition on
the request Of three hundred Of the
voters because they were not a three
fifths majority of the voters OF the
district.
This action was very unexpected
to the people who had the matter
in charge, and to all others, as it
was generally thought that if the
people wanted to vote on the plan
they had a perfect right to do so,
The action Of the Court in putting
the question to a vote did not bind
them to any thing and did not even
endorse the plan.
The petitions set forth that the
voters Of this district want a chance
as soon as practicable to vote on a
proposition to give $40, 900 toward
the construction of the Kingwood
and Morgaatown railroad. This is
to be paid for at the rate of 800
a mile, and not to be paid until
each mile is constructed and under
operation. All the money voted is
to be expended in this district.
In return for the bonds the rail-
road company is to give $4,000
worth of first preferred por cent
dividend stock of the proposed
road. The bonds are to bear in
Teresa at per cent, and they are
to be exchanged for the stock
at par.
As soon as the required numb Der
OF signers are secured the petitions
Will be laid before the County Court
and they will then have no excuse
for not taking action on the matter.
The railroad petitions are being
numerously signed, and they will
easily get the required three fifths
which is demanded by the County
Court before they take any action
In the premises. The Court has
taken the law into It's own hand in
this matter and has made a ruling
that an election must be held be-
fore the matter is even submitted
to the people.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON
or How the Foreigner Pays the
Tariff Read and Reflect.

We hope that many Of our Re
publican friends who are in need
of new carpet will receive a letter
from the big carpet house of Julius
Hines & Son, of Baltimore, like we
received lately and like they are
sending out to all their customers
now. 1t will help our friends to
more clearly understand the great
beauties of high tariff and the
Dinglsy Bill and how the foreigner
pays the tariff, etc. Here is a COPY
Of their circular letter
BALTIMORE, Nd, April 90, 1899.
Some days ago we mailed you a
copy Of our new colored carpet
catalogue, and not hearing from
you, desire to call your attention
to the fact that in the very near
future there is to be an advance Of
from Is to % per cent. over all
catalogue prices. This advance ia
caused by the increased value of
raw materials since the passage of
the new tariff law.
All the present prices of our
goods are based on the former cost
OF raw materials, and on our i'm
ported carpets at the former rate of
duty under tho Wilson Bill.
We hope we have explained the
matter clearly, as our sole purpose
IS to save cur customers money,
and even though you should not
need carpet for long time to
come. you will effect a great saving
by purchasing nov.
Trusting that We may receive an
order within a few DAYS, and as
surlng you that it will De appre-
ciatei and will receive our usual
careful and prompt attention, we
are Respectfully yours,
julius HINES & SoN.

slowly recovering from his recent Sc
rious illness-that his physicians have
told him that it will be r,slking death
for him TO attempt to do the amount
OF work he had been doing up to the
time he was taken sick. This being
the situation, Senator Jones' retire
ment from the position of chairman of
the committee was easy to predict. but
1T was very small business to try To
make it appear that he was to be
forced out because he was not this or
that, and is calculated TO cause man
like Senator Jones to take the bit in
his teeth, regardless of his health or
ohe orders of the doctors, and retain
the Craftsmanship until the Democratic
