WISHES IT DENIED.
G. b. Halllhas nothing whatever to do
with Major Keener andshis troubles.

G. B. Hall wishes it denied that he
is acting as agent for Major j. L..
Keener in arranging matters with the
creditors of the latter for his return
to Morgantown on the basis of paying
them fifty cents on the dollar.
This report has been started and
given rather wide Significance. Mr..
Hall advertised in this paper some
time ago for claims on the Major
wishing to buy some OF them so that
the claims against him might not be
compromised. This was done because
OF the refusal Of the attorneys of the
missing dealer TO pay John Hall half
the amount of his claim after promis-
ing TO do so.

VOLUNTEERS AT MANILA.
Have Became Veterans and are Doing
Most Fighting.

An inquiry has been made as to why
so large proportion of the volunteers
have been thrown into the advance in
the fighting at Manila. 1t was an
swered at the war department that
these particular volunteers were ac-
tually more veteranized than many Of
the regulars. They have been in SER
vice now nearly year, and in that
time have seen more fighting than any
other branch of the army.
They have an advantage over the
regulars, who have just arrived in
their knowledge of jungle fighting ac-
quired through their long stay at
Manila. Then it is said to be the
part of prudence to maintain a strong
reserve of the most reliable character
in such a movement as this now going
on, and Otis, in his dispatches, en-
phasized the necessity of maintaining
the old battle lines surrounding the
city.

BIG GAS LINE.
From Tyler County to Canton Defec.
tive At Joints.

The big gas mains which were re-
Gently laid from the Tyler county gas
fields to points out in Central Ohio are
defective and it will be necessary to
make repairs costing may thousands
of dollars before the line will be of
much service. The main crosses the
river near Moundsville and runs
through Belmont county, Tuscarawas
and out in Ohio as far as Massillon
and Canton. Ever since the line was
opened they have had trouble from
leaky joints and now it is said that
nearly every joint in the main from
the river west is defective and will
have to be taken up and repaired. 1t
cost over million dollars to lay the
main and it will cost it is thought, in
the neighborhood of 500, 900 to make
the joints sound. The line belongs
to the Standard oil company, accord
ing to reports, although it is known
under another corporation name.
The work of repairing the defects in
the pipe has started A number of
Morgantown people have been employ
ed on this line.

A Boys idea of an Editor.

A boy in the Fairmont Public
School was required to write an essay
the other day. 1.-THE Newspaper
was the subject and here is the re-
suit:
II don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world. | don't think
God does. For he hain't got nothing
to say bout them, and 'editor' is not
in the Bible. | think the editor is
one of the missing links you hear
about, and stayed in the brush till
after the flood, and then came out
and wrote the thing up, and has been
here ever since. | don't think he ever
dies. / never saw dead 'un and
never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is mighty poor 'un; the
editor goes 'thout underclothes all
winter, don't wear no socks, and pa
hasn't paid his subscription in five
years"

Passenger Shed For Seneca.

Seneca is to have a real railroad
station for passengers. Oscar A.
Campbell who has been acting for the
people of that place in the movement
has received a letter from the railroad
people stating that very soon a watt
ing shed would be put in and that all
passenger trains would stop there. A
freight station is what was wanted
and this may be received later.
The shed will be located on the lot
set aside by the Improvement Com
pany for depot near the Wood
Planning Mill.

NO STATE CAMP.
Practice Marches win Take the Place
of it.

At the state adjutant generals
headquarters plans are being made for
the annual summer outing OF the state
guard, says the Charleston Gazette.
Instead of an encampment it Is pro-
posed to put the soldiers on march
to let them get the knowledge and
practice similar TO active. campaign
ing. This will be harder, but more
profitable To the military service OF
the state than allowing the troops to
remain idle in camp. Col. Simms
plan is for the different companies of
each battalion TO march to some cen.
trial point To be selected by the battal-
ion officer, dividing the time equally
going and coming and while encamped.
They are to be put through drill prae-
tice while on the march and through
the manmuvers OF an army going into
an invaded country. This plan has
the advantage over the old encamp-
ment idea of better discipling and
hardening the troops TO service and
will also save the state the costly ex
pense Of transportation by railroad.

TO ABOLISH PARADES.
&. A. r. Taking Steps to do Away with
The Exhausting Parades Held on
Decoration Day.

1t has been seriously proposed that
the G. A. r. refuse to hold parades
on Decoration Day after the present
one. The Army is growing old and
feeble. The parades are very hard on
the survivors and every year after
there has been extensive celebrations
of the day hundreds OF the veterans
die in consequence of the unwonted
exertions.
This condition of affairs joined to
that of the growing Indifference of
the public to the celebration has lead
TO this movement in the Army and it
is likely that after the present year
there will be no parades Of any size.
The day will still be celebrated by
the members Of the organization but
they will merely decorate the graves
of their comrades who have gone be-
fore and the other observance of the
day will be left to other people who
are more able to take up the burden
where it has been laid down by the
members of the G. A. e.
1t has not been announced by the
local Post whether they will take any
steps toward holding celebration
and parade in Morgantown this year
or not. If they do not
the last one has already been held
as as far as they are concerned in all
likelihood.

ter before them just now is place
for the dumping of garbage. There
is no place where this can be placed
and the teamsters refuse to take the
stuff when offered by any one.
1t is proposed to take the ravine
back of the Presbyterian graveyard
A large tile drain would be placed
along this and the garbage dumped
into the ravine. The place is very
large one and would answer the pur-
pose for years to come. Another
place is under consideration in the
Rich woods The matter may be
disposed of at the next meeting.
