LEFT TOWN HURRIEDLY.
His Friends are Unable to Give The
Reason.

Jake Linn, well known oil oper
ator, has mysteriously disappeared
and has left behind about $l400 OF
unpaid depts.
Linn was interested in some oil
property in the Henderson pool, and
it was considered as being worth at
least $4,000. He sold it Saturday
for S1400 in cash and left the city
for parts unknown
Behind him are number of notes
and unpaid bills that have caused
the holders to experience feelings of
having been feeced.
On the afternoon b. d o. train
two creditors left in search of him,
having in their possession protested
notes amounting to 5000.
Linn was popular fellow here
and had friends by the score His
friends cannot account for his
actions as his oil property would far
more than pay his liabilities
Parkersburg Sentinel.
BY some it is thought that this
is the man who was known in Nor
gantown but If so he has changed a
great deal since he left this section.
We hope that in case it is that some
satisfactory explanation of the sud
den departure may be made.

SMALL POX SCARE.
Many Towns to the North of
Here are infected.

Few Precautions are Being taken TO
Prevent the Spread of the Disease
Well aud Sick Mingle Together Re
gardless of Authorities are
P0werless.
Small pox is prevailing to an alarm
/ ing extent in the towns TO the north
of here on the B. & O. 1T has broken
out in a number of small towns about
Pittsburg and is prevailing in many
others very much closer to Morgan
town. The people are in most cases
Indifferent and they are allowing the
disease to spread without any very
serious attempt to check it.
They have paid no attention To the
disease and the we'll and sick mingle
with great freedom. This has spread
the malady until hundreds of cases
have developed. This disease does
not seem to be very deadly but it GER
tainly is of a character to make this
kind Of thing dangerous.
| Layton especially is infected. Trains
have not been stopping there for
week or more and the town is cut off
from the world However the inhabi-
tants are going around, the sick with
/ the we'll and everyone is likely to have
the disease before the attack is over.
| Morgantown may not have an at
tack of the malady but the attention
of the authorities is called to the con-
dition of affairs which exists at such
a comparatively short distance down
the railroad aud they are likely to
see to it that no infection is brought
here by people from the places where
the disease is fourishlng.
A special from Uniontown tells of
the conditions in that county in the
infected district and the powerless
condition of the authorities TO check
the spread of the disease:
The smallpox scare at Layton sta
tion on the B. s. O. is becoming
alarming. State officers are now en-
ergetically at work and are making
strenuous efforts to stamp out the
dreaded disease. There are now IS
cases at that place. Two new ones
developed on Saturday and it looks as
! though the whole population will
come under the ban of the scourge.
Unless the state or county does some
thing there will be an alarming
spread of the disease.
DR.. T. Fl. White of Connellsville,
local representative of the state board
of health, was down there Saturday
and took in the situation. He COM
municated with the county commits
sioners on Saturday by telephone to
know if they would take some action
in the matter of paying for the hire
of proper parties to take charge of the
afflicted at Layton and try to prevent
the spread of the disease The COM
mssioners saw nothing in all the acts
Pennsylvania giving them author
! ity to take such steps. All the acts
relative to epidemics apply especially
to cities and boroughs and do not bear
on the isolated places, or country dis
tricts. Judge Reppert's attention was
called to the matter who instructed
| the commissioners to grant the health
officers request and agree to pay for
| the hire of such persons.

AN ENTERPRIsING YOUNG MAN.
William Wilmington has Made Great
Success by his Activity and Hustle.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of Whittington's Shoe store to
be found on the fourth page Of this
paper to-day. The ad shows some Of
the many great bargains to be found
in his mammoth establishment The
public has appreciated his efforts to
please them and no one in town has
more substantial trade than he has.
His rise has been steady ever since
he established himself in business
here and the secret of the whole thing
is to be found in his untiring energy
and the nerve displayed in reaching
out for new fields of effort.

Council held its regular meeting on
Monday night. The settlement with
Berry and Kidder was the main thing
taken up. This was not finally
settled because the streets as they
stand now are very unsatisfactory to
the members OF the council. The
city engineer was directed to make a
report in writing of the condition of
the streets and the measure in which
the firm had fulfilled its contract.
Twenty percent OF the contract
price is still with held and it will be
retained by the council until the mat
ter is finally decided The last work
of Berry is not pleasing on account of
the way he has butchered up the curb
lug.

Avenue on the Kiger lot.
A petition was presented by several
citizens living on the lower end of
Spruce street praying that the pave
ment be extended to the lower end Of
that street and that it not end with
Peasants street. The intention has
been not to go below that street in
paving Spruce.
The petition in regard to the Spruce
street matter was referred TO the COM
mittee on streets and alleys as was
several others about the payements
over town. Walnut street wants a
pavement but several Of the people
living on that thoroughfare threaten
the town with suits over the location
of the grade line as soon as the ground
is disturbed and the chances are that
no pavement will be placed on Wal
nut in consequence.

Nature is NOW Free to Hide the Ugii-
ness of Commencement Hall-Twenty
are Set Ont.

are Set Out.
Twenty American ivy vines have
arrived and been set out at Commence
ment Hall at the University. The
Intention is to cover the unsightly
pile of brick and make a beautiful
building OF it. The vines are very
quick growers and in three years they
are expected to have the building
buried in mass of green beauty.
The vines are much thicker set than
usual because very thick and COM
pact growth is wanted
They were set out under the direc-
tion of Prof. Johnston who is SUPER
intendent Of Buildings and Grounds.
The disadvantage encountered in other
larger and coarser vines of affording a
nesting place for sparrows is avoided
in this variety since is is so fine that
no place is made for the birds to
nest.

West Virginia University took q
great brace on Tuesday and won a
rattling good game from Lawrence

However, making only one hit their
opponents had no business TO make
five runs unless some one fell down.
The score was nine to five In our

Bowman held the plate down for
the local boys and he did 1t nobly.
Nineteen Of the other team went
down before his curves. This is the
highest record ever made by pitcher
for the University. 1t shows what
the boy can can do and that in the
face OF the fact that he has had an
uphill fight to get his talents appre-
ciated. He will be fixture after
this showing.
Krebbs caught In the first part OF
the game for three innings and then
he was retired for Shelby who finished.
Dent will pitch to-day against
Princeton and will no doubt do as
we'll as usual. Princeton ought not

Never Had so Little Water

"There has never been such a
scarcity of water in the San Luis
valley as there is this season" said
Engineer McCune yesterday on
his return from that section of the
state. Crops will be lost in many
cases owing to the inability of the
farmers to obtain water. A com
parison between this year and
other years will show how the far
mes have suffered. In June 1894
the lowest previous record of the
flow of the Rio Grande, about
|, AGO feet of water flowed past the
gauging station n few miles above
Del Norte every second. On June
%, 1898 the flow was 5000 feet per
second and on June 20 of this year
Teusday last, the flow was but S62

The sugar-beet expert of the

F, Saylor has prepared a report of
the work which has been done in
the government beet sugar invest

ing the past year. Some of the
very best results have been obtain
ed, Mr. Saylor says,in the west
whore irrigation has been used.
A high sugar-content is produced
in these beets and their coefficient
OF purity is also high. This means
that the beets have small pro-
portion of solids, other than sugar
and which it is sometimes difficult
to cheaply separate from the sugar,
Whereas the conditions of beet
growth in the East are extremely
varied, Mr. Saylor finds a marked
uniformity throughout the entire
western irrigated region where ex-
periments with this crop have been

The Virginia Coal, Iron and Railway
company has bought in the immense
blast furnaces at Max Meadows Pu-

becomes owner of 125,OO0 acres of coax
ing coal lands, 10000 acres of ore lands,
two railroads and nine furnaces, The
railroads extend from Big Stone Gap,
Va, to Elizabethton, Tenn, passing
through Bristol Tenn, and the rich
coal, mineral and timber lands OF the
new company. The result of this trans
action is due to the efforts of Colonel
E. J. Sanford of this city, president of
the Knoxville & Ohio railroad: Colonel
z. c. McGhee of this city, who is known
among the railroad magnates, and Ben
Dulaney of Bristol. Tenn. Colonel San

Followers Closer Together

Sacramento. Cal, Jan. 22-Aside from
the scandals dug up by the inyestisa-
tlon committee appointed to look into
the charges brought against Speaker
Wright of the assembly and
others prominently connected with
the election of a Initial
States senator, the senatorial
situation is the same as it was one
week ago. There has been no break
from either of the principal candidates,
Grant and Burns. neither has the on
position to these candidates weakened.
Only one man who has made any de-
cided gain is Bulla of Los Angeles. He
appears to be the strongest candidate
IN the light, or will be if the second
choice vote, which it is confidently eS-
pected by the Bulla forces will even.u-
ally go to him, materializes. II is gem
orally admitted that Bulla has a. large
second choice following. which will go
to him when the present combinations
break up. That there will be a break
