THE Old Maids Convention to be
given on December 10th will be one
Of the funniest things that has ever
been seen In the town. 1t will be at
tended by a very large crowd.
Ii you need flowers for entertain
ments or any other purpose send
your order to Miss Mary Jenkins,
Grafton. and you will get the best
and at a fair price.
YES, young man, it is the worker
who gets there. Look around you
and see the fellow who is waiting for
something to turn up and You will
see one who is of no use to himself
or any one else.
THE old Santa Claus is now study
ing out what he will give the chill
dren for Christmas and the behavior
of the latter may have great deal to
do with his decision. 1t would never
do to give bad child the nice things
that were intended for the good little
boys and girls.
A NUMBER of falls have been re-
corded over town since the pave
ments and side walks got slippery.
In some of the cases severe injuries
were received. People should be
careful of their footing and it should
be seen to that the small boy does
not add to the danger by coasting
on the sidewalks.
THE tendency to depend on news
paper advertisements is greater than
ever and continues to increase.
There IS a very perceptible' growth
in that way in Morgantown. Free
quently little ads in the New Do
MINIoN bring dozen answers before
the paper has been on the street an
hour. And our leading business men
are steady advertisers having learn
ed by experience that success is al
most impossible without it.

ROBERTS CASE.
The Houseis Now Plunged into
a Discussion of 1t.

Roberts is Aroused and will Flght-sn-
yestigation OF the appointment OF
Mormons to ONCE by Mckinley TO be
Investigated Embarrassing Position
for the Administration.
/ WASHINGTON, ID. @. Dec 6.--The
public had been prepared for the re-
sumption OF the Roberts case ye6er-
day and the galleries in consequence
were crowded.
Representative Taylor, Of Ohio, was
in his seat early, his desk covered
with books from which he desired to
quote presidents and points of law.
The Taylor resolution to refer the
Roberts case TO a special committee
was taken mp after the message had
been read.
Taylor for the republicans and Rich
ardson for the democrats, agreed that
the debate should be limited to an
hour and half. Roberts own time
to be counted in on democratic sides
time.
Richardson then as notice TO the
house, had read a substitute resolu-
ton setting forth that having his GER
tificate of election, Roberts, without
further expression as TO his right to
retain his seat, is entitled TO be sworn
in on the prima facie case presented.
Taylor opened the debate at ten
minutes TO three. He quoted section
3 of the Edmunds act, providing that
no polygamist shall have the right TO
vote or TO be appointed or elected to
office President Harrison in 1893
granted full amnesty under this act
to ali who have abstained from unlaw-
full cohabitation since 1890, on con-
dition OF promise to further abstain
in the future. He also quoted from
President CleYeland's proclamation.
The reading OF the message was
concluded in the senate at 2:3s
o'clock D. m. Immediately thereaf-
ter Mr.. Thurston announced the death
of Senator Hayward, of Nebraska.
He offered appropriate resolutions,
and as a mark of respect to his mem
CRY the senate adjourned until to-day.
A surprise will probably be sprung
in the Roberts case to-day. Either
an amendment to the resolution of
Taylor, TO appoint committee to
investigate the charges against Rob-
erts, or separate resolution will be
offered. At any rate 1t is the present
intention of the democrats to meet
the republicans on the high moral
ground they have taken. The amend
ment or resolution proposed will ask
that only the Roberts case be examin-
ed into, but that a committee be en-
powered to ascertain whether or not
President Mckinley has appointed to
federal offices several persons In Utah
who are confessed Mormons.
| This will be throwing down of a
gage at the administration that the
republicans will be dared to pick up.
A democratic member said to-day:
"We will teach the republicans
that those who come into court must
come with clean hands. If President
Mckinley has appointed polygamists
to offices that fact ought to be known
and is going to be known. unless the
republicans vote down the measure to
investigate his conduct in this regard.
We dare them to vote dewn such
| proposition.
''The republicans have an unpleas-
ant alternative. They must either
seat Roberts or submit to an investi-
CATION that will prove that President
Mckinley has appointed polygamists
to Office

GLASS NOTES.
Seneca Company is Consolida-
ting its Eastern Agencies.

81
Scope Of Territory Factory is Pros
pering Greatly -MOrgantOwn Glass
Company will Soon Have Their Plant
D0ne-Work Begun on Foundation.
Frank Bannister of the Seneca Glass
Company has gone to Pittsburg to
meet several representatives of the
Company and have conference with
them over the business outlook. The
prospects for the local factory were
never so bright and they were never
more busy than they are right now.
Their agents are all getting a good
trade which is rapidly growing and
they are sending glassware all over
the world.
Recently they shipped car load to
Manila and have started others to
foreign lands which lie as far away
from America. Their trade in the
United States is rapidly pushing up
and they now have about all that
they can take care of with the present
equipment.
Mr. w. III. Bush of Boston will be
one of the men who will be met in
Pittsburg. He has recently been pro-
NOTED and has taken charge of the en-
entire territory east of Pittsburg with
the exception Of Washington, Balti-
more and Richmond. Formerly there
was a separate Office in New York and
another in Boston. Now the New
York man will have charge of all the
"details and tho naonla here will not
have to look out for any Of it. This
will be a gain all around.
Mr.. Bush has been in Morgantown
and is known to many of our people.
He may come here before his return
to his home. A number Of the other
representatives of the company are
expected in shortly.

Work has started On the foundation
of the new factory for the Morgantown
Glass Company although this kind of
weather will hold it back great deal
/. N. Weaver has the contract for
this and has gotten out the stone
that is needed. 1t will be placed as
fast as the weather will permit.
There is nothing to hinder the fac
tory being under roof by Christmas If
the builders get fair chace to work
and they will improve every minute
that they can. The material for the
plant is coming in fast. The lumber
will be supplied as fast as it is requir-
ed 1t will come from the Picken-
paugh Mill which has just been moved
to another stand and which is ready
to cut to its fullest capacity. The
teams will begin hauling at once and
the lumber will not be source of
delay as it has been in many other
buildings now under way over town.
The factory will be running by the
middle of February at the latest and
may get started by the first OF that
month. This will not be very long
but it can be done if the proper degree
of hustling is kept up.
