MONONGAH. w. Va, December o.
The existence of secret society called
The Home Makers, which is said to be
in "a flourishing condition among the
miners of this and other mining regions
of the State, has been made known. The
object of the society is said to be to
provide and maintain pleasant homes for
its members and those dependent upon
them. And as gossippy, careless wives
and mothers are considered to be the
cause of many unhappy homes and neg
lected children, the association is said to
have taken this feature of home life
especially into consideration. AS a pre-
ventive and cure for the home neglect
by the wife, the association is said to be-
lieve in wife beating. 1t is understood
that this is to be used only when all other
methods fail, and if member is arrested
for beating his wife under these circum-
stances the society defends him. and If
he is fined it pays the fine-provided, of
course, he is a member of the society.

Robbed Last Evening.
The grocery store of Frank II. Kitson.
at No. 2109 Main street, was robbed by
unknown parties last evening between
half-past five and six o'clock. The
thieves effected an entrance to the es-
Establishment by forcing open the cellar
door at tle rear of the building and
then making their way to the first floor.
They broke open the money drawer and
after securing eight dollars in dimes,
nickles and coppers, all the cash that
it contained, they made their escape.
The robbery was soon discovered and
reported to the police, who Immediately
began an investigation.
A Fifth ward man was arrested on
suspicion and after being questioned by
the authorities was released. A search
of the store disclosed the fact that the
stock OF goods had not been molested.
The police will continue at work on the
case and the guilty parties may soon
be taken into custody.
