NOT GRANTED.
Injunction Against Seneca is
Refused.

Mount Pleasant People Fail to Get TIE
Courts to Interfere with The Seneca
Compauy-Case has Net Yet Been
Dropped but Nothing is to be Feared
From IT.
Charles Goodwin attorney for the
Seneca Glass Company in suit which
has been brought against them by
Brice Bros. of Mount Pleasant has re-
turned from Parkersburg where he
has been looking after the interests of
his clients for week or ten days
The matter came up before Judge
Jackson in the United States Circuit
court.
Application had been made by the
Mount Pleasant people for an injunc-
tion restraining the Seneca Factory
from making the needle etching for
which they are SO famous and from
using the machines with which this
work is turned out. The plea was
made that the process and machines
We're both patented and that the Sem
eca was infringing.
Judge refused to grant the injunction
asked for. The plaintiffs will how
ever not stop with the way things are
standing now but will go into court
again with the case.
The case will not result in any
thing serious for the local factory in
the opinion of Mr. Goodwin and they
will go right along using the process
and machines. They can beat any
case that is up against them by any
outsiders. They have right to both
the process and the machines and
they will continue to use them both.
Mr. Goodwin will probably go back
TO Parkersburg inside Of the next
thirty days if there is anything further
done about the case by the plaintiffs.
They may however let it drop. Ger
tain it is that they can't get anthing
by any further agitation OF the issue
involved

A WETZEL RIVAL.
That County Produces an Oil Well
to Equal Our Prize Winner.


A Battelle Oil Company's gusher on
the Strosnider farm, northeast Of the
Campbells Run development in Mon
ongalia county, w. Va, has Big
Injun rival on Buffalo Creek in Wet
eel county. The Strosnider has been
and is still, making 625 barrels day
and has been at the head Of the large
producers in the eastern fields.
The Kanawha Oil Company now
comes to the front with its No 6 S.
Lantz, located northeast of the big
Mills tract in Wetzel county and has
producer that made record of 675
barrels the "a hours ending at noon
yesterday After it was drilled in it
did not show for a gusher, but libe-
raj dose of nitro-g lycerine brought its
production up to the point named.
This part of Wetzel county has been
presenting some quite prolific Big In
jun sand producers. The Kanawha
Oil Company is starting five or six
wells in the Mills tract in the vicinity
of the King farm in which the South
Penn Oil Company completed, recent
ly, a good producer in the Big Injun
sand. This we'll is thought to show
a southwestern extension to the Big
Injuu development on Buffalo Greek
and developments along that line
will be watched with some interest by
both the South Penn and Kanawha
Oil Companies, the only holders OF
territory in that locality.

NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Connection OF Different Roads Through
the Coke Regions.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 2-The new
electric railway combine, recently or
ganiZed to control all the electric lines
in the coke region, is making substan-
tial progress in this section. 1t now
looks as though the Uniontown Elec-
trio railway and the Connelsville, New
Haven & Leisenring road will be con-
nected with an extention south as far
as Fairchance. The rights of way for
most of the route have been secured.
Today the supervisors of North Union
township and representatives of the
company met here and agreed upon
terms for the right Of way over the
roads Of that township. The electric
railway combine is to have the right
to use the roads through Moth Union
township from this place to the Dun
bar township line. In return the
electric company is to construct sub
stantial steel bridge over Redstone
creek. Work will soon commence on
the new line.

TWO CENTS
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE.
Grafton Leader Doesn't Think 1t Makes
Any Sc Results Are Identical.

President Raymond OF the State
University at Morgantown has recent
ly given out a special interview 10 the
Wheeling News relative to some Of
the numerous criticisms Of his admins
istration Of that institution OF learn
ing says, the Grafton Leader. For one
thing, he says that the legislature Is
not the only source from which the
University gets its money He kind
ly volunteers the information that q
great source of its income Is derived
from the &c. aud c. fund. Just
what he meant by this designation is
not explained, but Judging By the
lavish expenditures made there under
his regime, the revenue derived from
a number of sources must evidently be
punched together, and when needed
10 meet any of the pretentious pur-
poses OF The President, the fund Is
drawn upon, and can very appr0prl-
ately be called not the twoC's, but the
"Seize fund. 2
This eminently good man from
Chicago also denies the charge that he
has any of the authority TO appoint
any OF his special friends to paying
positions on the university staff, or
that any OF his special Chicago back
ers get 30 SO place their friends, assev-
Grating that he does not appoint the
teachers, that function generously be-
Ing allowed the board OF regents.
But in the very next breath he rather
proudly aoimadverts upon the fact
that 1.-THE regents have in nearly
every case followed my recommends
lions In appointing members OF the
faculty" So, what's the difference,
whether he runs the finances OF the
university, appoints the teachers, out
right or by indirection? According
TO his own rather boastful extrava-
gances In the matter, he accomplish
es these very results, nosmatter what
the means employed; and. tlserefore,
Is the proper subject TO vince under
any and all reasonably just criticisms
that may be made against his admin
istration Of university affairs.

coal Is KING.
The Sale Of Black Diamonds Agitating
Fayette County Citizens.

The customary form OF neighborly
salutation In Fayette county has I'M
dergone marked change during the
past year. The weather is no longer
an Introductory topic of conversation.
1t has been displaced, deposed and
utterly dispossessed. The customary
greeting nowadays is "Good morningt
Have you sold your coal?"
The farmers OF Fayette county have
sold thousands Of acres of coal and
their pockets are bulging with mil
lions Of dollars placed there by the
big corporations who have suddenly
awakened To the fact that modern
manufacturing demands Individual
ownership as far as possible of RAY
materials and especially OF coal.
The boom in coal lands has nOt
been confined to Fayette county. It
reaches from the Clearfeld and JefYer-
son regions on the north to and into
the Monongahela and Youghiogheny
valleys on the south, and from the
Connellsville region west through the
Panhandle of West Virginia into Ohio
and south past the new MasontOWns
developments into the Fairm0nt re-
gion. The sales in Fayette county,
however, have been greater in acreage
and much higher In price than those
Of any of the other sections mentioned,
and the boom here Is correspondingly
greater.
The farmer who stuck ile'' isn't
in 1t with the farmer who has sold his
coal. Truly, Coal is King, and this
is his Capital. --Connellsville Courier.

Illinois Stands First, Apparently. with
Pennsylvania Third.

Which is the best educated state in
the Jnion9
Illinois leads the United States 10
learning There are 1877 studente
enrolled in the various colleges and
universities OF the Suckerstate. And
remember, Illinois isn't the first state
in point OF population In the Union.
New York has more people within its
boundaries. So has Pennsylvania.
New York comes second. Our
record is not far behind that OF ILL
nois, says the New York Herald. :
The figures are 1907. And after US
comes another eastern state Penn
sylvania. The Keystone institutions
hold / 800 persons who are being
familiarized with the higher forms.
Ohio Is close up. Her record for stu
dents OF this class Is IL, 239. And
then comes point for our Southern
friends. Tennessee stands tifth
They run to learning down In Dixie.
Tennessee has 7,139 students to her
credit. Missouri is sixth, with a
showing of 6,5l3.

Now, try the same question as ap.
piled TO the common schools. Where
does the greatest percentage Of en-
rolled scholars obtain You might
as well save Yourself the trouble OF
guessing. You would hardly pick it
out in a dozen trials. Kansas!
Bleeding Kansas. The home OF the
populist, the cyclone and the corn
crop. Considered with regard to It's
total population, the enrolment In
Kansas is really remarkable. The
number of scholars of the public in
situations are $40, 240.
Following Kansas comes West Vir-
ginia, where the number Of enrolled
scholars is 236, 1873, which is 1927 per
cent. Of the population. And then
comes Utah, where there are 10, S7S
scholars, percentage Of 26.75. And
then comes Iowa, with a percentage
OF 25l3, and again Tennessee, where
% 66 per cent. of the population are
enrolled scholars. Mississippi is
sixth, with percentage of 25.3S to
her credit. Massachusetts has per-
centage Of only 80 and New York
isn't much ahead Of the Bay state, for
its figures are 1850. Verify, there is
more common school education In the
west and the south than was dreamed
of in the eastern philosophy.

thentic addition to the historical
works bearing on West Virginia.
The report of DR.. Roller was I'M
usually interesting. He said that
reasonable progress had been
made in the work of the society and
that it's growth had been steady
and pereeptible. He referred to
the time when the society would be
occupying it's new home in the Cap
itol annex. Among his recommen-

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Many New Cases and More suspects on
Alum Fork and ut Alum Bridge.
Four Cases ut BnckhannOn.

WESTON, Feb. 2.-Wm Wooddell
reports the smallpox situation at Alum
Bridge on Alum Fork as extremely
alarming. There are nine cases In
the town OF Alum Bridge with dou-
BILE the number Of suspects. Wooddell
says 1t has been in Capt. Cooks fami-
ly for over three weeks, that it is GO
ing through the family and through
the Roer family which Is very large.
DR.. Hall says that 1t has broken out
in the family of Bud Steinbeck on
Alum Fork and that there are at least
twenty suspects on Alum Fork. DR..
Hall claims the exposures have been
so many that he predicts an epidemic
in this neighborhood
There are no new cases at Glenyille.
Attorney M. M. Bennett is in criti-
cal condition. The rest Of Mr.. Ben
nett's family are suffering with symp-
toms of the disease.
There Is an epidemic of typhoid
fever raging at Normantown. Er. j.
b. Roberts, the physician who has
been In charge, is now not expected to
live.
At Buchanan there are four cases.
There is quite conflict between the
Board Of Health and the citizens re-
garding the quarantine. 1t seems the
Board wants this done and the peo-
pie object, calling the outbreak s'Phil-
lipeno itch" over one thousand OF
Buckhannon's citizens have been vac
cinated. 1t is claimed by most all Of
the physicians that it is smallpox in a
very light form. There has not yet
been single fatality, many of the
cases being variloid.

WAS HE DROWNED j?
Boy Goes Under the Ice Near
the Pump Station

Miss Matte Brock and HRS. Meyer See
Him Fall and slide OF the lee info
the Center OF the RiYer-BodY Disap-
pears and Feet stick 0ut-No One
is Missing rs Far as known.
Was the young man drowned as a
result of falling into the river on
Thursday afternoon? This question
Is being asked over town and no one
seems to be able to answer it, The
last that was seen Of him as far as re-
ported was when he went under the
ice head first and his feet stieking out
of the water were the last vestiges of
him.
Miss Matte Brock and Mrs W. G..
Meyer were on the afternoon train and
witnessed the accident. They were
short distance below the Pump Sta
tion when they saw the young man
fall. Mrs. Meyer called Miss Brock s
attention to him as he fell.
The fall was very hard one and
after he struck the ice he glided on
towards the open river in the center
unable to check himself. Finally he
reached the water and plunged in.
Miss Brock saw his feet sticking up
out of the water with the rest Of his
body concealed from sight. Then the
train bore them on without seeing
whether he got out or not.
There was no one near and the ice
was very thin where he went in. The
river was not frozen entirely across
and the skater was taking great
chances ia venturing on it.
He was apparently about sixteen
years of age and was tall and slender.
Inquiry at the Pump Station shows
that nothing has been heard of the
matter and nothing has been learned
from any other source. No one is
missing as far as can be learned but
still some one might have been drown
ed.

MUCH Is MISLEADING.
Preston County Deals are in Reality
Much Smaller Than Reported 10 be.

1t IS stated by gentleman who is
better informed on the subject than
other men in the town that much OF
the great blow over Preston county 5
great coal boom is wind. As an ex-
ample he stated that the production
of one of the mines over there which
has been given at fifty car loads a day
was never over fifteen cars This was
Toddis mine.
The operators have strong hopes
that they will in few years be able
to turn out fifty cars day but they
are not doing it now. The connection
of John Sliney with the deals is en-
tirely misleading. The gentleman in
question states that Sliney has been
a dead duck for two years and that
he cannot be behind the gigantic
schemes which have been the product
of some fertile brain in Morgantown.
