The Photographer,

The proposed election law which is
before the legislature in the form of a
bill allows two commissioners to each
of the leading parties. In case Of
dispute all ballots in dispute are re-
tained. The others are burned. The
polls will close at three in the after
noon and the ballots will have some
emblem on them to distinguish the
various tickets. The other provisions
are very much the same as the present
law.
AMEDEE STEWART a coke worker at
Cans, met with an accident at that
place last Saturday that may result
in the loss of his eyesight. He went
to the shanty to prepare meal for
himself and father, William Stewart,
who works with him. He put tin
can on the stove in which to make the
coffee. The can had tight lid with
no vent for the steam to escape.
While he was STOPPING over to make
an examination to see if it had boiled
it blew up, throwing the contents
fair in his face; filing his eyes with
the grounds and scalding fluid.

ANOTHER rat hunt has started in
Fayette county. There are large
number of young men engaged and
they will kill great many OF the
rodents. A hunt few days ago at
Masontowp resulted in the slaughter
of several thousand rats and the one
now going on at Uniontown is expect
ed to eclipse that record. A similar
hunt here might be a very good thing.
There are thousands OF large Norway
rats in the town and 1t would be a
blessing If they were all killed.
THE congressional committee which
has been appointed to investigate the
case of Wheeler and the two other
congressman who held commissions In
the army will not report until after
the Senatorial election has been held
in this state for fear of furnishing the
Democrats with partisan material.
However Speaker Reed has solved the
problem. He refuses to sign the
vouchers for the salary OF the men In
question and this shows what he
thinks OF their right to the place and
pay OF congressman.

The number of telephones in use
here has grown very rapidly and it
is so now that man cannot do
business without one. Many of the
private houses have them and there
are nearly two hundred of them in
use in the town. The number is
rapidly jumping up and the two
hundred mark will soon be passed.

been very successful in his prophc-

ABOUT OUR FRIENDS.
Personal Mention of Prominent People
Where they are and How they are.


Where they are and How they are.
Mrs. William Clark of Washington
Pa, is visiting her brother Captain J.
r. Miller.
A j. Frum was in town this morn
ing on business. He reports every
thing quiet up III Clinton.
Prof. Aldrich is prevented by ill.,
ness from attending to his work at
the University. We hope that he may
soon recover.
John G. Capehart left on the
morning train for Pittsburg and other
parts of Pennsylvania on business
trip.
Will Bennett is quite sick at his
home on Chestnut street and has not
been able to attend to his duties at
the Second National for day or so.
Rev. Ross Ward came in on Mon
day from Terra Alta. He reports
that he has been doing very fine work
since he has left Morgantown and
that his new field is full of opportuni-
ties which have for The most pa
been improved.
Senator Fast is winning approval
all over the state for his stand on the
matter of retaliation. He refuses to
violate his oath and go contrary to
the dictates of his conscience in order
to gain partisan advantage. May
he continue to discharge his duty in
the same manly way.
Prof. L. c. Miller tells us that he
improves very slowly if at all and
that he is having very hard seige
of il. He does not feel especially
sick but he is just weak and worn
out. The slightest exertion fatigues
him excessively and lie does not
know when he will be able toresume
his duties at the University.
THE funeral of the late Mrs. Scraf-
ford took place this afternoon at
Allegheny. Mr.. and Mrs. M. A.
Miller of this place attended the fu-
neral.
Nor very much more than one
fourth of the value of the new Fal-
ling Run bridge has been paid in
yet and Mr.. Wharton has to hold
the sack until the money is raised if
it ever comes in. He stands to
make but very little on the job if all
the price promised is given him.
THERE is new song going the
rounds of the press and it runs, as
follows: I'VE don't want TO buy at
your place, we won't trade there any
more, you'll be sorry when you see us
going to some other store, you can't
sell us any stale goods, we have open
ed wide our eyes, we don't want to
trade at your store, because you do
not advertise"
THE performance of Faust at the
Opera House last night drew very
large audience. They were we'll
pleased with the electrical effects and
the scenery carried. A solo by
Jesse L. Turner between the acts was
very well received and has called out
many compliments. The company
left here to-day for Waynesburg going
by the way of Pittsburg. They have
been booked forMorgantown again next
year.
