LARGEST In THE WORLD.
Eighty Coal Companies in West yir-
ginia formed into gigantic com.
hina.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. Il
The Kanawha and New River opera
tors adjourned to-day after having
agreed upon plan of consolidation to
be known as the Kanawha and New
River Consolidated Coal Company.
1t will be the largest concern of its
kind in the world, with daily capac-
ity of 40, 600 bushels, which will be
increased within six months to 50,-
900 bushels. 1t will embrace 80 COM
panies in the two districts. The OBJ
ject is to pool the product of all the
mines, the individual operators to be
paid at an agreed rate and all the coal
to be sold through two agencies.
Most of the shipments will be made
by rail, as heretofore, river shipments
being less remunerative to operators
The Kanawha has served principal
ly as facility for shipping the excess
product. The New river coal is firm
product, suitable for steamships, and
is technically termed tidewater coal
along the coast. 1t is handled by the
Chesapeake & Ohio coal fuel agency OF
New York. The Kanawha coal is
handled by the Chesapeake & Ohio
Fuel Company, of Cincinnati. Thest
two agencies will be retained. Cen
eral j. W. St. Clair, who is attorney
for the consolidated interests. will APP
ply for State charter next week, and
another meeting of the operators will
be held on Thursday.

IL0ILO TAKEN.
Second largest town in the

lloila has fallen. A transport has
Just arrived here, bearing the news
chat the city was taken by the Amer
leans on Saturday.
Not life was sacrificed on the
American side. The loss suffered
by the insurgents cannot be ascer-
tanned. The landing of the soldiers
was preceded by bombardmentfrom
the cruisers Boston and Baltimore
and the gunboat Petrol The rebels
fulfilled their threat of setting fire
to the town before evacuating it, but
the flames were quenched by the
United States soldiers.
1loilo is the capital of the large is
land of Panay and the seat of the so
called Government of the Visayas
Federation.
The troops were under the immedi-
ate command Of General Miller, who
had with him force of not quite U.s.
90 men They comprised the Eigh-
teenth Regiment Regular Infantry,
the First Tennessee Volunteers and
Battery G Of the Sixth Regular Artil-
lery These were confronted by a
native force of unknown size, but
strong enough to besiege the Spanish
stronghold for several weeks and final
~ force surrender.
1t was the general expectation that
General Miller would be heard from
about this time, certainly not earlier
than Sunday, and that expectation
has now been realized.

Some good advice.

The following wise counsel given by
the noted Henry Ward Beecher to his
son may help in the formulation Of
some good resolves.
You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make
it a fundamental rule: No debt-cash
or nothing.
Make few promises. Religiously
observe the smallest promise. A man
who means to keep his promises can
not afford to make many.
Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frank
ness, no guesswork. Either nothing
or accurate truth.
When working for others sink your
self out of sight: seek their interest.
Make yourself necessary to those who
employ you: by industry, fidelity and
scrupulous integrity. Selfishness is
fatal.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
People are Appointed to Visit
the University.

Five on the COmmittee-DemOcr
Have Majority-They will be here
Wednesday Late for a Very
Thorough Investigation However
Some Good will Result.
The committee on the part of the
legislature to visit the University
has been appointed. 1t consists of
Messrs. Z. A. Bennett, of Cabell, G.
F. Millender, of Wayne and j. A.
Oldfeld, of Mcdowell, on the part of
the House and E J. Pierson, OF Clay,
md Commodore Dotson, of Wood,
on the part of the Senate.
They will leave Charleston on
Tuesday and will arrive in Morgan
fown on Wednesday. Since they
have been appointed so late in the
session they can do nothing more
han come here. But small lnves-
legation can be made although ev-
erything is in readiness for them.
rhe authorities are very sorry that
hey didn't get here earlier when a
ull investigation could have been
made and report prepared for the
rest of the legislature.
The men who make up the COM
mittee are among .he leading mem
bers of the two houses and it con-
sists of three Democrats and two
Republicans. 1t is not known how
long they will be in Morgantown or
exactly at what time they will ar
rive.
Other investigating committees
have been sent here in the past and
they have all been surprised at the
extent of the work that has been
done with the means at the com
mand of the authorities and the Wis
it's have always been productive Of a
great deal of good for the institu-
tion. The one to come cannot fail
to do the same thing and every
friend of the University is glad that
the visit is to be paid.
The only thing that is needed to
show the people Of the state what we
need is to have them see what we
have to do with it. They will see
better free school building than any
one of the University buildings and
they will find out that the results
have always been far in advance of
any assistance that the state has
given us.
The great pity is that all the men,
bers of the legislature cannot come
and see what is here. The report
of the committee will not be made in
time to get the greatest good out of
it but it will do some good and for
this we will be duly thankful.

CROWNED WITH SUCCESS.
DR.. White will have no trouble
with his appropriations.

Geological survey will get all that IT
asked for and more IL 1t is needed
What has led to this. disposition on
the part Of the legisIature-Press,
Reports, Map and coal men are the
factors-A rosy outlook.
DIR. /. G.. White is back from
Charleston where he has been look
ing after the appropriation for the
support of the survey Of which he is
director. He is very jubilant over
the prospect. He has assurances
that everything is all right and that
the legislature looks at the survey as
they should. The doctor came away
with the promise of getting not only
what he asked for but as much more
as may be needed.
This condition of affairs is due to
the splendid report put out recently
of the needs of the state and the
map which has just been issued
showing a foretaste of what can be
done if the means are afforded. The
press of the state has given him
unanimous support in the work and
their efforts have doue much to
place the work in the proper light
before those who hold the purse
strings.
The members of the coal exchange
which was formed down at Charles
ton were very powerful allies. There
were seventy of these and they
turned themselves into a powerful
lobby to see to it that each member
of the legislature do what he could
to place this state ia proper place
among the sisterhood of states.
All of this combined with what
the members already knew of the
utility of the scheme disposed them
to go it the whole length and here
after there need be no fears Of the
fate of the survey from indifferent
and hostile legislatures.
The survey appropriation bill will
carry with it a good amount of coin
and the progress of the work will
not be held back any longer. 1t will
be rapidly pushed and before very
long the good hard dollars that il
will mean to the state will begin to
roll in on us. Morgantown has ev-
cry reason to be proud OF the consid-
Grafton that has been shown to hel
distinguished son and the state car
congratulate itself on the outlook.

is taken up.
The court is inclined to hear what

get it to feel as they do there need be
no fears as to what the outcome will
be. In the other hand il they fail to
be present the court will have grounds
to say that there is no demand for a

is wanted is to show them that the
demand is an over towering one and
that it is felt by every class OF citizens.
Let nothing keep you away. BE at
the meeting early. Go and be ready
to stay until it is over and do all that
you can to relieve US Of the great in

COAL DEALS.
A Correspondent at Hoult Tells Of Move
I'm Black Diamonds.


The Hoult correspondent of the
Free Press has the following:
A few days ago Mr.. Churchyard and
Mr.. Skinner, of Buffalo, n. Y, in
company with Mr.. Thomas, U. S. En-
gineer in charge of lock No. 10, of
Morgantown, were here. The two
first named gentlemen were looking
over the sight of lock No. Is, with a
view of sub-contracting the building
of the two upper locks, Nos. IA and
10.
While the Aurora Coal mines are
still lying idle we will soon have new
coal works here, as Harmon Snider
has given an option on his coal lands,
and we are informed by one who is in
a position to know that it will soon
change into hands of people who will
open it
1t is also rumored that the Monta-
ma Coal Co. people have bought the
Brittian tract OF coal below this place.
We don't know how true it is, but
hope it may be true, as it lies close to
our village and will be Of advantage
to Us.

FURTHER NOTICE.
Frank Lazier's Death is Official
ly Confirmed.


Box of His Effects received by his Ceu-
sin DIR. 4. ". Lazier- Hementoes
Presented by Friends will be Re-
tIrned TO Them-Many other Relies
Es9ected-Ne Additional Details Of
His Death Receiyed-M Monument for
His Mothers Grave.
DIR A. NJ. Lazier has received the
official notice OF the death of Frank
Lazier the marine who had been at
tached to the Baltimore This con
firmed the letter which was received
from Franks chum by Jesse L. Tur-
ner announcing the death shortly
after it occurred. Many people had
rather doubted that he had really
died as the official notice had not
reached here ahead of private letters
but there is probably some good
reason for this.
The notice asked about the dispo
sition of his effects and the money
that was coming to him. This viii
be attended to at once.
Aside from this number of relics
have reached here from Chin. These
consist Of several pictures of Frank
and many OF the souvenirs seat him
by his friends in Morgantown. These
will be returned to the donors. An
other consignment is expected in a
short time and all the curios which
he has picked up since he went away
from here will be forwarded to this
place.
A dying request of Franks that
his mothers grave have suitable
monument erected OH it with a part
Of his money has been received and
this will be attended to religiously.
No additional details of the death
or burial have been sent but this
vas probably not deemed necessary
by the people who knew of he letter
hat had already come and the navy
department did not have anything
additional to send.
The many friends of Frank here
who sent him mementoes can get
them by calling on DIR. Lazier who
will turn them over to the donors as
soon as they are claimed or identi-
fed in any way.

TROUBLES OYER.
University has solved the prob
lem of its future growth.

State tax ON corporation charters to
be increased large burden taken
from the shoulders Of the tax payers
Of the state-0fher institutions unite
TO pass the biIl-Bill drawn by Mr..
sturgiss provisions-No epposi-
ton developed.
The University sees the end Of its
troubles with having to get money
from the legislature. A bill is now
pending before that body which will
be law in a few days, perhaps hours,
and we will be independent Of heleg-
stature as far as having to ask them
for money every time they meet is
concerned.
The bill provides for an additional
tax on corporations formed in this
state. On domestic corporations the
new rate is to be twenty-five dollars
instead of ten aid on foreign it is to
be one hundred instead OF fifty. The
resultant revenue is to go to the Uni
Fersity exclusively and this is all that
the University is to ask except for the
purchase of land.
The money is to be used for a num-
Der Of things which are set forth in
the bill and these are about everything
about the institution that needs
money except the additional land
which is needed. The solution OF
the problem by such simple remedy
is all the more satisfactory. 1t will
not add one cent to the burden of tax
alton but will reduce 1t and will en-
able the University to go ahead with
some assurance that it will have
money enough for its support. There
is no opposition to the bill.
The University has made friends
with all the other institutions in
stead Of antagonizing them by with
drawing from the scramble for the
spoils 10 the treasury.
There are two million dollars asked
for by the various departments OF the
state. To meet these requests there
will be less than one million. This
shows how they will all have to be
pared down. The smaller will COM
bine and some of the institutions that
absolutely require all that they have
asked for will get left.
The University representative, Mr..
Sturgiss who drew the bill after it had
been suggested to him has arranged
with the other institutions for their
support for the bill and on the other
hand the University will only ask for
twenty-five thousand dollars. This
is for six thousand to finish the North
Wing which is already under contract,
fourteen thousand to buy land already
under option and five thousand to
pave the streets on the grounds. All
of these relate in some way to the
land. To this compromise everyone
agreed.
All the friends of the institution
will rejoice to Learn of the peace and
plenty that is ahead of us and to hope
chat the new era which is dawning
will prove as rosy as it now appears to

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Reflections of q Bachelor.
Satan's annual crop reports show
large returns from vanity.
Good resolutions are like basting
threads; they are not intended to stay.
Homesickness is getting something
you wished for, and then wishing for
something you didn't get.
If there had been two Ewes they
would not have needed the apple to
start a dressing match.
A married woman who flirts can re-
spect everybody but her husband and
the wife of the man she flirts with; a
married man can respect everybody
but himself and the woman who flirts
with him.
Through open-work stockings show
more vanity than anything else.
Plain outer garments conceal the
daintiest ribbons and the fleeciest lin
gerie.
The first time a woman flirts she
mistrusts herself; afterward, the other
person.
When a woman first likes man
she thinks of him in armor or stop
ping runaway horse; when she get'
to know him better she thinks Of hin
with bandage around his throat OF
groaning while he takes off a porous
plaster.

UNlONTOWN'S POLE TAX.
The Revenue from this will yield the
borough $1,000.

UNIONTowN, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE
race among the various telephone and
telegraph companies of the town to
monopolize all the space along the
streets and alleys with their poles and
wires, eliminated this week in the
action of council in imposing spole
tax" of so cents on each pole in the
borough. The tax, If sustained by
law, will prove a considerable source
of revenue for the town, as the esti-
mated number of poles on the differ
ent streets and thoroughfares is 1000.
Any attempt on the part of the COM
panies to squirm out of paying the tax
will be promptly carried into the
courts,
