What Live Newspapers Accomplish.
REMEMBER THE NAME.

The Nashua On. III. Press, endors-
ing the views of a contemporary,
says
"The Lowell News remarks that
mo power on earth is so strong to
build up town as newspaper we'll
patronized, and its power should be
appreciated Nashua is an object les
son in which the truth of this obser-
walton is emphasized. In 1S68-69, as
shown by indisputable facts and fig
ures given in It's recently published
history, our population was falling
off, and Improvements had come to a
standstill. The buildings on Main
street were reminiscent OF Old Dun
stable for hundred years. and there
was hardly modern house on her
soil. Then came the daily newspaper
with its energy and advocacy of inn
provements. 1t doomed everything
that came in sight that promised to
build up the place, and kept at it
year after year. The result is the
Nashua of to-day. Meantime it is
certain that every community has
business men who do not appreciate
this object lesson, and who give their
newspapers Indifferent support. The
Press looks and hopes for a turn in
the tide at an early day. Surely cities
like Lowell and Nashua would be as
dead as Chelsea without up to-date
newspapers"

NEW MAP.
Morgantown Authorities Issue New
and Valuable Map of This state.

The following announcement sent
cut by eminent Morgantown authori.
ties explain itself. The map in cues
tion is of great value to the people
who are interested in the coal, oil and
gas development of the state The
statement issued by DIR. White and
Prof. Morris is as follows:
The edition of the State Geological
Map recently published having been
entirely exhausted, and the Survey
being without funds for further pub.
LEGATION the authors have revised and
added new data to the original map
including the prominent Anticlinal
axes which traverse possible oil and
gas territory; also the oil and gas pools
discovered in West Virginia since the
publication of the map referred to,
and have republished the map on the
same scale as formerly. This has
been done as a private enterprise to
supply constant and daily requests for
information concerning the mineral
wealth of the State. The map shows
in separate colors the three great Coal
formations of West Virginia, viz; the
New River or Pocahontas, the lowest;
the Allegheny or Kanawha series, in
the middle; and the Monongahela or
Pittsburg (Connellsville) series at the
top These facts together with the
Anticlinal lines, Oil and Gas pools,
make the map of much value to any
parties interested in these subjects.
The map, printed on good paper,
will be mailed, folded. free of postage
to any applicant on the receipt of two
dollars $500 or if a rolled copy is
desired which will open out fiat for
office use fifteen Q5) cents more
should be enclosed to pay the cost of

The applicant should address White

Waynesburg wants another game

to get it. They offer $85 for game
at Waynesburg and the management
may give it to them. In case the
game is played, there are few people
who think that the University team
can win on the grounds of their op-
ponents. 1t may be small money
maker for the organization but it will
be a humiliation to our pride to be
beaten by small team like the

A Search Through Taylor's Clothes
Revealed the Missing Money
Cut in Twain
Cut in Twain.

The remains of William Taylor, who
was killed on the Milwaukee road early
Wednesday morning, were shipped to
Sioux City Friday morning, the COM
pany furnishing the transportation for
the body and the two ladies. The re-
mains were accompanied by Mrs.
Taylor and her lady friend. Mrs.
Taylor sand when she arrived at Sioux
City she woulc attempt to find some
trace of the money that her husband
sent to his address at that place. The
express package was purchased at
Warner and mailed in his own name.
1t is possible that the package had not
arrived there when the ladies left
Thursday. There was a rumor afloat
yesterday that the man had been shot
through the eyes and probably robbed.
Parties who saw the body after it was
dressed stated that there were no
wounds around the head that would
lead to the belief that he had been shot.
His death was due to nothing more
than an ordinary accident.
LATER-The clothes which covered
the body Of VIM. Taylor we're left here
In charge of Undertaken Boyce. They
were searched several times for any,
thing of value that might be in them
but nothing was found. This afternoon
it was decided to bury them, but before
putting them in the ground James
Murphy decided to go through them
once more. He noticed that pocket
in the wampus was cut in twain and
that he hadn't investigated that before.
He pushed his hand in and to his sur
prise he pulled out the missing express
orders, also receipt for the clothes
Taylor sent home from Warner by
freight.
Instead of sending the express orders
home by letter, as his companions
stated, Taylor hid them away in his
clothes. There were two of them, each
for $50. The orders were cut in twain,
evidently where the wheels of the car
passed over his body. The papers
were saturated with his blood and
were not yet dry. Mr.. Boyce took
charge of the orders and will send them
to the wife of the deceased man. But
for Mr.. Murphy the money would have
been buried with the clothes and in all
probability would never have come to
light. 1t was lucky search.
