FAMILY REUNION.
Children of Mr.. and Mrs Barton
Core Gather Together

Eat Dinner At Home on Saturday.
Every one OF the Children We're Pres
ent-One Comes Back From Iowa for
the Purpose News Notes
About the Family.
The family of Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
ton Core of Cassville held reunion
on Saturday and each member of the
family sat down to dinner together
the first time for number of years
and probably the last time that they
will be able to do this. No one was
present except the immediate fami
ly. Those who had m arried the sons
and daughters of the old people were
present but they did not partake OF
the feast
Mrs. Oliver Wade came back here
expressly to take part in the occa-
sion. She was here recently but was
called home by illness. She came
back when asked and had to leave
again on Monday morning for home
after staying here but few days.
Rev. and Mrs. Lewis Core are still
here but they will leave for the west
in the next ten days and will return
to India about the beginning of the
year. Mr.. Barton Core is very much
exercised over his sons return and
wishes him to remain in this coun-
try for few years longer but the
missionary feels impelled to go back
to his work again.
On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Core
lectured at Cassville on her exper
fences in India and there was very
large crowd present to hear the talk.
1t was most interesting one. She
has been heard by a number of peo-
pie of the county and has talked in
Morgantown.
One of the interesting things
brought to mind by the reunion was
the fact that not single death had
occurred in the family since Lewis
Core went to India nearly ten years
ago. Not one of the children or
grandchildren have died in that
time. This is wonderful record
and one that is hard to equal in the
county.

WONT DECLINE.
But Fast Has Not Yet Said What He
Will 10.

Since General George w. Curtin has
declined to let his name be used in
the next Republican gubernatorial
race, says the Fairmont West Vir-
ginian, only two gentlemen are now
prominently mentioned in that con-
nection. They are Congressman
Romeo H. Freer, of the Fourth dis
trict, and the Hon. A. B. White, Col
lector of Internal Revenue. The
friends of Col. r. E. Fast, of Morgan
town, say he would not decline the
nomination if it should be rendered
him, but the Colonel himself has so
far failed to indicate that he is a cam
didate. None Of the gentlemen men
toned are pronounced candidates, but
many eyes have been turned for some
time toward the two first named.
Congressman Freer attracts the most
attention. This is not hard to ac-
count for. He is better known He
is an old soldier and is widely known
by that element. He is also well
known by the sons OF the old soldiers.
He is never absent from the camp
fires of either. Besides he has no
superior as a campaigner, being one Of
our most gifted speakers. As mix
er he is unsurpassed.

DIR. ALLSUPE ALIVE.
He Has Been Sojourning Near Mounds
viIIQ

DR.. Allsupe an eccentric hermit
who has spent the greater part of his
life near here has been absent from
his old haunts at Ellington for some
time and had to some extent dropped
out of mind. The following from
Saturdays Moundsville Echo will ex-
plain his whereabouts: q.
A pitiable case exists on the river
bank opposite the camp ground
switch. 1t is an old man near seventy
five years of age, demented and with
out friends here, who somehow lives
in shelter made of boards leaned up
to keep the rain off. During the sum-
mer he f1shed but now the poor fellow
has to depend upon what he can find
about the streets.
The mans name is Allsupe and he
says that his home is near Ellington,
between Fairmont and Morgantown
and that he has wealthy relatives in
New York. He evidently has had
some education in medicine, though
he now claims to be an herb and root
Doctor The man has an address and
conversational ability as prove that
he has not always lived with the river
shore tribe. Upon some topics his
talk is intelligent and rational but
when he talks about medicine his I'M
balanced mental condition is readily
seen.
A few days ago while along side
the railroad track he was struck by
an engine and knocked down the
bank to a ditch but almost miracu-
lousy was not hurt.
The authorities should take care OK
the man.

Showed Wonderful Brace in The
Last Half and Scored in Spite OF Ef-
forts of Local Team-TrOuble Getting
Back Home.
The football team went to Clarks-
burg on Saturday accompanied by
about fifty rooters and won over
Waynesburg by score of seventeen
TO six. The result was a foregone one
from the start and it looked like the
enemy would not be allowed to score
but they took terrific brace and
pounded the ball over the line by short
rushes until they had a touchdown TO
their credit. This took place about
twenty seconds before time was call
eG. The kick off after this score was
not done and the game was called af-
ter the goal was kicked.
West Virginia went through Way
nesburg at will in the first half and
scored twice. Again in the second
half she crossed the line once. One
of the goals was kicked by Yeager.
The only long runs of the game were
made by McWhorter who ran around
each end in succession for thirty and
forty yards. The rest of the time
short line bucks were the rule.
The Greene county boys were heay-
Ter than the University but they did
not have the game down as fine al
though in the last half when they
scored they played very warm ball.
The Varsity boys tackled too high and
the player gained their distance by
falling their length forward.
1t had been expected 70 get home
on Saturday night and the start made
from Clarksburg in time to get here
but the engine afforded by the M. r.
r. broke down and the team was near
ly four hours getting over the road be-
tween Clarksburg and Fairmont.
Another train had to be sent out
finally to rescue the party. The ar
rival at Fairmont was SO late that the
return home was postponed until
Sunday morning. l
In making the transfer James Du-
laney of the Waynesburg team fell off
the car steps and seriously hurt his
shoulder It was feared at first that
he had broken it.

Baptist Social.

The Young Peoples Union of the
Baptist church gave social on Sat-
urnay evening which was attended by
an immense crowd. Refreshments
were served by the young ladies. The
features of the evening were guessing
contests. One OF these was to guess
the names of authors well known to
the public.
Another very novel plan was to
call some one out of the audience and
have them draw some kind of an ami
NAL ON the blackboard. The rest
then proceeded to guess what was
represented. A great deal Of amuse-
ment was occasioned by this.

KIT CARSON, Col.

KIT CARSON, Col
My DEAR Mr.. You
no doubt have concluded that | did
not intend to write The fact is that
/ have had no time To give to any
thing aside from duty. There has
been great effort to get the men to
some extent familiar with all kinds OF
work and what should take months
has been crowded into a few weeks,
aud even on the road we have school
twice day for officers and also for
the non commissioned officers. Only
a small per cent of the men have ever
had service and with recruits the
work is simply awful.
We are now enroute to San Fran
cisco, and under orders to proceed to
Manila. There are various estimates
as to the time when we will sail, but
it will probably be in about two weeks
after we arrive at the coast.
While we were in camp at FIT.
Leavenworth there was not a bit of
rain and about every second day was
a sand storm. Just as we were break
ing camp IL began to rain and kept a
steady pour nearly all day. We stood
in the rain from 1870 to 1915 before
the cars were ready, and you can i'm
agine the impression we have OF that
part Of Kansas.
We have been on the train nearly
80 hours and at the rate we are now
travelling it will take days to reach
the coast. The men are enthusiastic
about getting across and cheered lus-
tily the orders to go. The officers are
from New York to California and
Minnesota to Georgia and the men
are in like manner from about every
state. | believe there are more en-
listed men from Texas than from any
other state.
Lit Col. Scott is the only Officer
whom | had known before, but there
are a number who served IN Chicka-
manga, and we get acquainted easily
The papers generally praised Chad
wick day, and | know 1t was success
anyway for Morgantown never fails at
anything.
The country we are going through
now is bare and brown and does not
look as II anything could live on it..
| spent about four months on the
plains north of Kit Carson, eleven
years ago this summer and do not see
that there is any improvement now
over what there was then.

VAST COAL DEALS.
This Section of The State is
Being Worked up.
Large Blocks of Land Being Bought
This County and Others to be Bene-
ffted-Enormous Purchase in Preston
by Guffey and 0thers-Deyelopment
Ahead.

| Large coal deals are being made in
section of the state. They are the re-
suit of the discovery by interested
capitalists that we have great miner
al wealth and that it can be secured
for almost nothing paying enormous
I profits on the first investment. The
sales in the county have been followed
closely on the heels of one another
and soon there will not be a foot of
coal land left in the county.
In other nearby counties the sales
are going on very fast also. In Mar
ion recently there has been large sales
and also in Harrison. In these two
sections every mine is running full
time and old ones have been reopen
ed which In some cases had not been
operated for ten years. Preston coun-
ty is the latest one to get taste of
the development that is SO agreeable
to us all. The Pittsburg Post tells of
the movement that will bring Preston
out of the woods and make it one of
the richest counties in the state.
The article in question is as follows:
As the result of combination
effected by Eastern capitalists with
j. M. Guffey $4,000 acres of the rich
est coal lands in West Virginia, in
Guiding network of railroads from
| the mines, valued in all at So, 900, 900,
pass into the control of a company
that will be one of the largest coal
/ rxp I'm mr. In Uni fnf1
States, The land lies in Preston
county, w Va. The company will
/ formally incorporate next week and
i operations will soon be commenced on
large scale.
Mr.. Guffey last year secured 1000
acres of coal land in Preston county,
and later added to his holdings by
purchasing 5000 acres more. When
these purchases came to the knowl-
edge of certain Eastern capitalists
/ they showed their respect for Mr..
Guffey IS Judgment by securing options
on 20, 900 acres adjoining the tract
which he had purchased.
| Overtures were made sometime ago
/ looking toward a consolidation of the
two properties. The plan proposed
was to join them into a single field
and begin work on most extensive
scale.
The negotiations Jagged for a while,
but finally Mr.. Guffey's terms were
acceded to, and he was prevailed upon
to take the presidency of the company
to be organized.
| A meeting to perfect arrangements
will be held in New York early next
week. -Four New Workers and two
Philadelphians will be associated with
Mr.. Guffey in the exploitation of this
rich coal field.

by His Alleged Wife Married by a
pittsbnrg Attorney who Impersonates
Minister Prosecution of The
Lawyer May Follow.
Harry Shank is back from Pitts
burg where he went to investigate
the strange conduct of the woman to
whom he had been married in that
place on October Z Mrs. Shank
or Miss May Gilbert or Mrs. May
Gilbert or Miss May McGarvey left
here on last Wednesday after living
with Mr.. Shank as his wife since a
short time after their marriage os-
tensibly to go to her home for a
short visit she went Immediately
to the office OF the Plttsburg Times
and published denial OF the account
of the marriage which was publish
ed in that paper and sent out from
Morgantown. The same statement
had also been published in the
Wheeling Register. This denial was
shown to Shank and he left for
Pittsburg Immediately to investi-
gate And he found that he had
been imposed on by take marriage
and the discovery duplicates one of
the lawyers of that city in the plot.
The marriage was performed by
man who represented himself TO be
Rev. Mcmillan, of the Stockton Ave
nue. Presbyterian church. Shank
went to call on him and found that
he was not the man who had per-
formed the ceremony. A little de-
tective work found the man who did
do it. Shank is positive in his
declaration that the individual he
suspects is the man who performed
the ceremony committing forgery
even in order to carry out the
scheme.
1t was lawyer j W. Hague of room
$50 Blackwell Building Shank ac-
cused him Of the illegal marriage bat
the latter denies this strongly.
Shank however states that he is
not mistaken and may begin pros
ecution. The fact that he has no
witnesses will prevent it being very
successful.
The woman in the case is daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. z. McGar-
vey, of Heron Avenue, and they are
wealthy people Her parents OBJ
jected strongly to her marriage is
the lay that she piped for Harry and
they were married secretly and kept
it quiet until she joined him in
Morgantown She came to this
place and lived with her husband at
the Franklin hotel for couple of
weeks The announcement was then
made
Shortly after this she went home
OH visit and after she was gone it
was found that she had taken every
thing Of value in the rooms with her.
She got diamond ring and several
other articles of valuable jewelry be-
sides great many articles of cloth
ing that had been bought for her by
her husband who had squandered a
great deal of money on her. The
loss to him from the experience is a
very costly one besides being very
humiliating. He has many friends
here who are sorry to see him in the
position in which he is placed but
they are glad that he is rid OF the
woman SO easily.
