The Secret Service has just unearth-
ed another band of counterfeiters In a
suburb of New York City, and secured
a large quantity of bogus SIS bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators
but no equals for common disorders
like fever, ague, malaria, Indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters set
things right In the stomach, and when
the stomach is in good working order
1t makes good blood and plenty Of it.
In this manner the Buffers get at the
seat Of strength and vitality, and re-
store vigor to the weak and debilita-
ted. Beware OF cOunterfeits when
buying. Always go to reliable drug
gists who have the reputation Of CIV
ing what you ask for.

OPEN MONDAY.
Public Schools Begin The An
nuai Grind.

New Superintendent Takes Charge Of
The schools They are in the New
Building Everything Starts of
Smoothly Good Prospects for the
Years Work.
The Public Schools opened Monday
morning and they are now Ia full
blast. The children were lined up ON
tie side walks in front Of the building
and marched into the new school
building 10 order. The first morning
was spent in getting them in condi-
ton for the beginning Of classes and
the regular work was mapped out for
them.
The new school building is being
used for the first time by the chill
dren. 1t was ready last spring but
it was thought best to allow every
thing time to get in the best possible
condition before it was entered and it
is better for the delay in getting into
it,
Every thing about the building is
looking its best. New side walks
have been laid all around it and the
arrangements of the building are for
the best possible convenience of the
teachers and pupils.
The children have started in to the
new year rested by their long vacation
and they are ready to take up their
work with renewed zeal. The teach
ers are also ready for their work and
there is every reason to believe that
the coming year will be the best that
We have ever experienced in school
work here. The new superintendent
is hustler from the word go and is
evidently the right man in the right
place. He will have the cordial sup
port of everyone and the hope is gen.
eral that his efforts be crowned with
success in every particular,

Forsythe had $4,000 in cash and all
the others were pretty well equipped
with funds and stores. The rosy re-
ports of fabulous wealth that had
lured them on proved to be without
foundation and when he and Forsythe
reached Seattle on the return trip a
few days ago the former had to tele-

better fixed. as he sold his dogs be-

the fact was that only few had any

the coast cities are not to be credited,

johnson gave detailed account of
his trip; of the visits to the various

exaggerated. The tales of fabulous
fortunes that were being picked up
were without foundation. Thousands

held in the Odd Fellows building.
The Hall and the Odd Fellows build
ing will be decorated by the members

ness men aud others on the line of pa
rade to decorate their places in honor
OF the meeting which is a most impor-
tant one to the order and to the town.
On Tuesday evening the Principal
address will be delivered by Hon. Per-
ry Shanor of Sistersville. The speak
er is well known here and those who
have the opportunity will certainly
be present to hear him. He has a
reputation as an orator that is state

visitors on behalf of the town and w.
J. White will welcome them on behalf

will begin at eight O'Clock sharp. Vo-
cal and instrumental music will en-
liven the occasion which will be a
notable one. The program as COM

The people here may be expected to
pay great deal of attention to their
visitors and the town will derive much
benefit from the meeting of SO many
representative men from all parts of
the state. Morgantown has in recent
years become a great convention town
and has entertained number of state
meets. She will see to it that none
of them fare better than the members
of the Junior Order who are so soon
to test her hospitality.

lows-Neighbor Relieved.
Dutch Shanes is in further trouble
and the chances are that he will not
get out of the present mess as easily
as he has been accustomed to get
ting out of the trouble that he is SO
fond of placing himself in He has
been released from the custody OF
the county authorities only to be
taken to Clarksburg where Uncle
Sam will look after him for some
time to come.
He was taken by United States
Marshall Dan jackson, of King
wood, from this place to Clark sburg
on the charge of having been one OF
a party that robbed the postoffice at
Statlers Run a couple Of years ago.
Shanes will be held to await the ac-
ton of the Federal grand jury and
the chances are that he is up against
it for keeps this time.
Two young fellows from this sec
ton are now under arrest charged
with fooling with the mails. They
are S1anes and Rufus Tenant. Be
sides these there are two others
charged with counterfeiting in Jail
at Clarltsburg. They were from
Ponetown and had been circulating
spurious nickles and quarters in
this and Marion county. Mononga
liza seems to be getting her share of
people into the pen Or on the way
there.
Shanes has had very bad record
and this fact will not help him any
in the mess into which he is now to
be found. He was under arrest here
for cutting two young men by the
name of Tenant during row into
which he had forced one of them
and when the other attempted to get
them parted he turned on the peace
maker cutting him also.
Besides this he had shot a pc.
liceman in Greene county and near
ly killed bystander at the same
time by wild shot. He shot po-
liceman's hat off in Fairmont and
had done many other deeds Of a
similar character He is very much
feared In the section of the county
in which he lives and everyone in
that part Of the county is heartily
glad that he has been placed where
he will have to behave himself for
some time to come

from this section hi.t. he. Iasc been
going through toaH for cay or se.
They all look well aid. everyone
plies them with questions about
their trip and the time that they
had while they were lighting On the
other side OF the earth.
Among those who have come in is
Private Stumm who was formerly
an emploxe of the Glass factory and
who is well known here in town. He
was member of the Uniontown
company and had very nice time.
He escaped the perils of the field
and came home without a scratch.
He will be here for several days yet.
The following in reference to a
couple OF the men from this county
is taken from the News Standard.
Mr.. Englehart was in town for
short time before his return to his
home and is now over Cheat enjoy
ing himself.
Joel Ridgeway and VIM. NJ. Engle-
hart. two of the three West Virgin
ia members of Company c, left to
day for their homes. The former
lives on Cheat river, half way be-
tween Cheat Haven and lees ferry
and the latter at Guesman. Mr..
was student at the uni
versity of that state before joining
Company c with John G. Shaw who
was an original member of the com
pany and was sent back here to get
recruits, taking Englehart with him.
Mr.. Ridgeway is telegraph opera
tor and was working in Iowa when
the war broke out, joining the COM
pany while back here on visit to
friends. Mr.. Englehart was wound
ed in the side by Philippine bullet
and sustained crushed foot while
carrying ammunition from the rear
to the soldiers, by letting a box
weighing 40 pounds drop ON it.
He said he was so anxious to see
his mother that he could not stay to
go to Washington, Pa, to attend the
funeral Of Col. Hawkins.
Roy Knox is another man who is
well known here. He is at home at
Uniontown. He has recovered from
his wound and is in very fine con
dition being very much heavier than
he ever was before he entered the
army. Rus Beall of Uniontown has
received a commission in the new
army and will no doubt accept it.

COMBINE FAILS.
Announcement Made that Glass
Combine is Smashed.
However This May be Only on the Sur
face Effort Being Made to Get Rid
Of Dead Timber-Successfu Plants
Will Get Together-Seneca viii do
Nothing to Hurt Herself.

1t was announced from Pittsburg
that the proposed Glass combine in
which Seneca was interested has fallen
through with. 1t is stated that the
concerns which were to enter the trust
have decided to give up the struggle
and retire from the field leaving things
as they were before the negotiations
were begun. The failure is ascribed
to the fact that the United States
Glass company wanted too much for
the showing that they were able to
make. There were too many idle
plants that were to have gone in on
an equality with those in successful
operation.
1t is stated that another effort will
be made to get together and that the
combine may not be given up but the
opinion as given out in Pittsburg was
that it had failed entirely and that
ward combine.
However a gentleman here who is
on the inside informs us that the
combine is nearer formation now than
it has ever been and that it was a part
of the plan to have the effort to COM
bine appear to be defeated at this
time. There was a lot Of dead timber
wanting in that was not wanted by
many of the most successful plants
and they will let them slide and get
together among themselves.
Half of the pot capacity of the Uni
ted States is making seven eighths of
the glass being turned out and they
will form a trust among themselves.
This will be attended to Immediately
and the failure of the original combine
to get together is giving them very
little to worry over.
If it should go through Seneca will
be all right. 1t is one of the cheapest
to operate in the country and no
agreement will be made that will per-
nit it to cease operations. at any time.
Nothing but benefit can possibly come
of any deal that is entered into and
the people who are interested will see
to it that we lose nothing by any
move that is made.
