For the Sake of Fan. MIsohler is Done,

A vast amount of mischief is done,
too, because people neglect to keep
their blood pure. The mischief APP
pears in eruptions, dyspepsia, indi-

fortunately, may be undone by the
faithful use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which cures all diseases originating in

moved from her teens. Miss Bardi is a
versatile actress and has played a great

GOOD OPINION.
Washington People Expect More of Us
Than We do Of Ourselves.

The following from the Observer,
of Washington, will be of interest to
the fans here:
The pigskin chasers from Morgan
town are the strongest eleven in the
history of the university, and their
game with the strong Grove City
team last Saturday in which the
mountaineers came off victorious, is
indicative of the fact that the Wash
ington and Jefferson eleven, in their
crippled condition will have their
hands full to defeat the visiting
eleven on Saturday. The West Vir-
ginia team averages l64 pounds.
They are coached by w. F. Dovey,
of Latrobe, who is a student in the
university, and plays left end. He
has had a great deal of football ex
perience and the good results of his
coaching were manifested by the
team work against Grove City. He
played two years with Ohio State
university, had the benefit of year $
coaching at the University of Mich
igan, and has played on one or two
other college teams. The personnel
of the team that will be here Satur-
day morning is as follows:

OF Freight From the M. & X. Railway.

cars oday at the upper end of the
track on the Morgantown Il King
wood Railroad with scale board Mr..
Tory says even the distance up now
enables them to load twice as much
as when they had to come to the de
pot. These two cars will probably
be shipped tomorrow and that will
be the first freight shipment made
over the road. The volume of mat
ter they have to ship will increase
as the road approaches their mills.
They have been solicited to take
contracts that would require more
than double the capacity of their
present plant if they were run day
and night.

OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
Football Team Leaves This Afternoon
They Hardly Expect to Win But Hope
to Score.

The football team left this after
noon for Washington where they go to
play W. and j. on Saturday afternoon.
Tie game was secured because both
teams had been left by the cancella-
tion of the games by o. w. u, and
the fact that they would get no other
dates from other teams. 1t will re-
suit in two contests between the
season. 1t is too much to hope that
the local boys will be able to win out
but they hope to make a fairly good
showing Later in the season when
they are in better condition they will
make even better effort toward beat
ing the Washington boys out.

before he finally landed team. The
trouble was that all the elevens he

CHANGES IMPENDING.
Toll House at The Bridge TO be
Moved Back.

Above Depot Teams to be cut of
From The Platform-- Flower and
Grass Plots to be Introduced New
Railroad Talk In Greene County.
The siding that is being put in
from Thompson's mill back toward
the depot on the upper side OF the
railroad will cause number Of chang
es to be made down there. In the
first place the toll house ut the bridge
will have to be moved. The house
stands on the land belonging Go the
company and they want 1t for the
track.
The house will he moved back or
the railroad land and the track will
be built along where 1t now is. The
track will go behind the water tank
and will connect with the siding on
the upper side of the depot cutting
off the approach to the platform.
Teams will no longer be able TO get to
the platform after the new siding is
finished.
The yard between the siding and
the platform will be planted in grass
and flower beds will be arranged. 1t
will add great deal to the looks OF
things but the space down there will
be cramped like everything. The
company is trying TO get more ground
by cutting into the back yards OF the
lots along above the depot and the
deal may be carried through. This
will give more room and it will be
badly needed.
The project of the road from Way
nesburg to Warrington is still agita-
ting the people Of Greene county as
the following from the Democrat will
show:
From here TO Warrington is about
thirty miles. Que little cut between
here and Blacksmith and one little
tunnel between Blacksmith and Man
ington makes the grade an exception
ally good one. From Warrington to
Clarksburg is only 20 miles. 1t is
said the Pennsylvania company con-
templates broadening the Narrow
Guage and extending same via Man
nington to Clarksburg. When you re-
member that all the country traversed
by this proposed road is underlaid
with the best coking coal in the
world and runs through the richest
oil and gas region of the world, you
can readily see there is nothing vision
ally about it.
This county will get some OF the
benefit Of the building of the new
road and it cannot come too soon for
