William Wilmington was visited
by the burglar on Thursday morn

storm that ragged before daylight on
that morning. The attempt was Ger

A slight noise aroused the young

became aware tia. some one was
working at the window. A scratch

the window was broken.
Will jumped up and grabbed re

which was not loaded. He made a
bluff by swapping it several times
and the fellow at the window was
frightened away
Owing to the darkness no descrip-

made in the window pane and the

he was trying to get in and his foot
prints could plainly be seen in the

liberal supply of ammunition and he
will be able to give the next visitor
a welcome befitting the occasion.

WELL COMPLETED.



The hoodoo that has pursued
Dick Myers for nearly year and a
half has been broken by the compile
ton of the well on the Adam Shri-
yer farm for the CHARTERS Oil Com
pany. This well was begun sixteen
months ago and It. had to be started
over again four times before it was
finished. The rig had to be moved
twice during the time.
Everything that could go wrong
went wrong and all the delays and
loses possible were experienced. At
last by dint Of the most unceasing
labor and undying grit the well was
drilled into the sand and it was
found to be a dry hole. Another
hundred feet we're contracted for and
when this part was completed there
was still no oil The well is more
than three thousand feet deep.
Dick will start some new wells
right away and is now in hopes that
the bad luck has been broken. Every
one joins in this hope as he has
made great many friends by his
nerve under the trying ordeal.

1t is objected by those opposed to
the Railroad subscription that it
will be unconstitutional to contract
a District debt which added to the
town and Independent School Dis
trict debts will make more than 5
per cent of the total taxable proper
ty in the town or School District.
The best lawyers who have examined
this question deny the assertion,
and no authority can be quoted to
sustain it. Each of these political
bodies or corporate entities may con-
tract it's own debt not to exceed in
the aggregate five per cent but no
one of them by contracting debts to
it's full constitutional limit can
thereby prevent all the others from
contracting debt. If this we're not
so then Greenmont with its Is voters
might bond itself to it's full limit of
5 per cent for streets, light and wa
ter, and then not a dollar of County
Indebtedness, or of School District
Indebtedness could be created by
the County or District in which it
is located, no matter how great the
necessities of the County for bridges
a court house or Jail, or of the dis
trict for school houses. The greater
would be entirely at the mercy of
the lesser, or the first to contract
debt would exclude the other. The
proposition is too absurd to discuss
But even more absurd is the asser
ton that if the subscription is voted
1t will be void as to Morgantown,
and as to the Independent District,
but binding on the rest Of Morgan
District. If void as to any, it will
be void as to all 1t will be a debt
that cannot be divided or appor-
toned. If binding on any it will be
binding on all. But if Morgantown
and the Independent District could
escape payment Of their part, then
the subscription would at once be
void as to the rest Of the District
because it would be in excess of the
5 per cent of its taxable property
prohibited by the constitution. If
the Railroad Company is willing to
build the road upon void subscrip-
ton let it do it. Don't take so much
pains to protect the road, or you
may frighten it out of the notion,
and scare it into the belief that the
subscription is mo good"

FISHING WITH ROD.
Law Prohibiting 1t From April Is to
June Is.

In reply to the query of one of our
readers as to the law prohibiting fish
ing from April IS to June 15, we take
pleasure in reproducing the following
extract from the code:
'lt shall not be lawful for any per-
son to catch any black bass, green
bass. willow bass, rock bass, pike or
pickerel, or wall-eyed pike Commonly
known as salmon,) between the
fifteenth day of April and the fifteenth
day of June of each year; nor shall
catch or kill any Of said species of fish
at any other time during the year,
save only with rod, hook and line. .

One objector to the railroad sub
scription says: "What good will it
90 farmers? 1t won't make our
lands grow more wheat, or Craze
iaore cattle, or cause our hens TO lay
more eggs, or our COWS to give more
or richer milk" and then the object
or looks wise, as much as to say,
"answer that if you can" But while
the railroad cannot help the lazy
man to grow more grain, raise more
cattle, produce more eggs, milk or
butter, it can bring to his door bet
ter prices for all these things, double
his profits by giving him home
market and help him more effective
ly than il it increased his products
without increasing his customers
and his prices :, Zen years ago one
market gardener made a precarious
living selling vegetables to the peo-
pie Of Morgantown, to-day dozen
men are making more money in this
business off of small pieces of well
cultivated land than before off of
whole farms. Then one or two milk
men often over sold the market, now a
dozen persons sell milk, cream and
even buttermilk regularly to their
town customers. A dozen butchers
furnish us fresh and cured meats
now where two scrambled for liv-
ing ten years ago. Iron stores, gro
GERS, dry-goods dealers, clothing
boots and shoes, furniture factories,
grain and -four and feed dealers and
all occupations abound. Paved
streets, water works, a system of
sewers, natural gas, telephones and
all modern conveniences have multi
piled and come to us, since the first
railroad was built through our Dis
trict. Every added facility for do
ing business and drawing people to
us will increase our wealth and
prosperity. Give us more railroads
and we will give more wages and
employment to our people.

The enormous increase in the num-

one cent an ounce instead of two
cents. The president who succeeds
in getting such measure through

perhaps, than the esteem in which
everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach
