Springhill Township last night.
This time they entered the dwelling
of DR.. Chips at Springhill Furnace.
The family were in Uniontown and
left no one in charge of the house. A
few provisions were taken and search
made for money but none was found.
They then "rolled in for the night" as
the beds had been occupied. An at
tempt was also made to brake into

place but they were frightened away
Every day robbery of some proper
tion is reported especially among farm
ers who are losing their cider; grain
and chickens by pilfering. Several en-
ergetic efforts were made last Satur
day night at HOUSEKEEPING near
Crows Ferry, on the Monongahela
river.
There is supposed to be at least five
in this gang and their GOODNESS and
daring prove them to be desperate
characters. So far they have accom-
plished what they have started in to
do in the Western style.
1t is reported that a determined
effort is being made to get track of
the Cheat Haven robbers. The coun-

williams Again Worse.

Reports from Buckhannon are to
the effect that the student Williams
who was shot by one of the special
police up there week or so ago is
growing worse. He was thought to
have been getting better for few
days but another turn has been Elk
perienced in his condition and he is
now not expected to live. when he
was first shot it was thought that he
would die in few days but he rallied
and hopes were entertained Of bis
recovery. These are now abandoned.
These facts are obtained from a pri-
vate letter from a student at the
seminary to young gentleman in
this place.

NEW QUESTION.
West Virginia Bar Raises Question
That will Make Some People Open
Their Eyes. :.

Their Eyes.
The West Virginia Bar raises a
question that may surprise some of
the muscular pedagogues who love
to play golf on boys back. 1t is
that when corporal punishment is
inflicted by teacher upon any pu
pill in any school in West Virginia,
that it is not only done without au
thority of law, but is in violation Of
law" This opinion it is prepared to
maintain, in court and out of it.
These are brave words and well spo
ken. AS a life long enemy of the OK
CAD, we hope this matter will now
be brought to an issue. Flogging
in school in as much as assault and
battery as logging out of it. Who
gave the teacher the power to in
fiict corporal punishment? The
trustees? Why, the trustees have
no power except such as is given
them by the Statute which creates
them. No such power is conferred
either directly or indirectly or by
implication. 1t is not a common law
right. 1t is an attempt to make law
of a brutal custom which has come
down to us from the ages of barbar-
ism.
Such custom. if it existed for ten
years, could not become law, Let
us put the OK CAD out of school. Let
us arrest teachers who use it. If
refractory pupils disturb the public
schools, let us arrest them also. Let
the laws be enforced, and if further
Legislation is necessary, let us have
it.

DENIES 1T.

Head of the Athletic Committee State
That no action Whatever in Regard
to Professionalism has Been Taken.
Prof Thos. e. Hodges was asked
about statement which appeared in
several of the Pittsburg papers on
Tuesday to the effect that several of
the foot ball team had been fired out
of school by the athletic faculty on
account of professionalism. He stat
ed that no such action had been taken
and that no such action was ever con-
templated. No charges of such a
character had been preferred against
single member of the football team
and that so far as he knew that none
were to be preferred.
He said that so far as he knew
nothing had occurred this year of the
nature stated in the dispatch alluded
to and that nothing was at all prob
able to take place.
The professor is head of the athletic
committee of the faculty and had any
thing been done he would have been
the first to have heard of it.

The commercial instincts of the
early English people led them to
oontrive most interesting and quaint
advertising devices, quite different
from those used nowadays, but with
the same object in view. An ancient
chronicle says 'In olde times such
as solde horses were wont to put
flowers or boughs upon their heads
to reyeale that they were vendible."
The up to-date merchant now ex-
tensively uses the columns of a reli-
able newspaper to proclaim to the
public that he has "vendible"
goods, and the money which he pays
for his business announcement is
returned to him many times over
through the patronage they bring to
him.

Output of the Klondyke.

much gold was taken from the Klon-

mate ranges from $40, 900, 900 to $25, :
900, 900. Since the English govern

the miners have adopted all sorts of
ruses to evade the law. 1t is rather
a difficult operation to dodge taxes,
but it is more difficult still to dodge
bad cold and the grip at this time of
year. When the system is weakened
by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the
best medicine to take is Hostetter's

up the system. Besides regulating

p. r. r. EXTENSION.
Early p. V. & {. Extension Into West
Virginia.


PITTsBURG, Nov. 1S.-Work of ex-
tending the Pittsburg, Virginia &
Charleston from West Brownsville to
the West Virginia state line is to be-
gin shortly. A good many surveys
have been made and the plans for the
extension were prepared sometime ago.
In view of the big demand for btu
minous coal the extension is looked
upon as necessity. This road will
open such a territory and because of
attempts made by other railroads to
secure an entrance into this territory
the Pennsylvania will build the line
to forestall unnecessary competition
The construction of the line will give
the Pennsylvania entrance into West
Virginia and give vast coal produc-
ton there an outlet, which will make
this coal a competing product right in
the Pittsburg district. The extended
line will open inducements to manu-
facturers to start new plants in the
territory.

the West Fork Proposed Again-In,
dorsed by Major Powell-More Mon.
ey for Monongahela From Congress,
One Of the projects for making
rivers navigable in the absence O.
the depth being established by ma
ture in the first place will raise a
row among the railroads. 1t has
been proposed to dam the Yough,
ioheny from McKeesport to Con
nellsville and MAJOR Powell has re,
ported in favor of it but the rail
roads are kicking like bay steers.
They claim that it will ruin their
tracks in many places and render
their bridges unfit for use.
The water is very close now and
if the level is raised it will necessi.
tate the building of the bridges over
and raising the tracks all along the
proposed improvements. This will
tost great deal of money and the
foads do not propose to be the ones
co have to put it up without asking
ror heavy damages.
The chances are that they would
get what they ask for as they would
undoubtedly be greatly damaged
and when this is done even by the
government it should be paid for.
The damage is estimated at twelve
millions as the lowest figure.
Major Powell has also recommend
ed the Stacking of the Monongahela
from Fairmont to Clarksburg and
this will be one of the things taken
before the proper com mittee as
soon as Congress gets together,
This scheme has been laughed at a
great deal but it is safe to say that
Major Powell has recommended it as
that it is alright. He is very eau
tious man and rarely does anything
that is not backed by the very best
of reasons. Clarksburg will be very
glad to hear that she is to have slack
water within the next ten years.
The following two interesting
items are from the Pittsburg Chron
icle Telegraph:
Congressman +. f. Acheson, Of
Washington, Pa, passed through
Pittsburg on his way to the Nation
al Capital. He says he will renew
his efforts at the approaching SEES
sion of Congress for continued i'm
proyement of the Monongahela and
Ohio rivers. He said: "We want
an appropriation for next year 81
about 81 100000 for the Mononga-
hela for charging and repairing the
locks, and / believe here is faii
prospect for getting it. The pros
pect for improvements on the
Youghioghenv will depend almost
entirely on the report of Maj. Chas
F. Powell. 1t is probable that an
appropriation will be made for two
new dams on the Ohio river, to be
built somewhere between Wheeling
and Cincinnati.
1t is expected that the Morgan
town line of packets will extend its
business to Fairmont and as soon as
the upper Morongahela river dams
are completed. The completion Of
the dams will open up much new
territory and it is expected that
Pittsburg merchants will reap the
benefit Much of the trade that now
goes East will, it is thought, be
brought to Pittsburg, for when the
dams are finished goods can be ship
