LOYAL Legion Reopened.

The Loyal Temperance L egion
which was so successfully conducted
here last winter and which was adj
journed last May at the close Of the
Public School term, was reopened on
Friday Afternoon. The attendance
was most encouraging. The children
came trooping In to the number OF
81, % OF these were old members who
attended regularly last year and who
were delighted TO meet again. The
others were new boys and girls most
OF whom wished TO Join. These chill
dren are exceptionally we'll behaved
and eager to learn.
After enrolment and distributing
pledges to the new ones pretty songs
we're sung and the regular work OF the
Legion taken up. The band was or
ganized by Mrs. w. II. Cook, Mrs. G..
C. Sturgiss and Mrs. A. G. Oliver at
yesterdays meeting This work is a
noble Que. Its object Is to begin at
the beginning, To teach temperance,
sobriety and war against bad habits
OF every kind. OF course most chill
dren are taught these things In gen.
eral way, but In an organization the
influence Is much stronger and more
lasting and is kept constantly before
them. Mrs. Oliver will take an es-
pecial interest Ia this work this win
ter, but she needs assistance, and 1t Is
hoped that the christian women or
the town will take personal interest
In the work and assist those who are
willing to take charge OF 1t.
The meetings will be held regularly
every Friday afternoon In the school
building No. Is from to 4 O'clock.

The rich mineral resources of this
section is a fayorite topic with the ed
itors Apropos the Berryyille disas-
ter the Pittsburg Times says editor
| tally:
West Virginia Is destined TO become
one of the foremost coal producers Of
the world. The present production,
while attaining the handsome annual
total of nearly 17,000,0 900 tons, or
about 10 per cent OF the entire soft
coal production Of the county, is small
compared with what the yield will be
few years later.
The Parkersburg Journal speaking
editorially OF the rapid development
Of the Monongahela valley says:
This Is a beautiful and rich locality
1t is doubtful whether there Is anoth-
er region in the world, so blessed with
natural wealth over such large terri
tory as this. The deposits OF oil, gas
and minerals are almost beyond con-
ception.
In fact the State may be taken as a
whole, and the natural wealth is
simply marvellous. The singular
thing about the whole matter Is that
it is only within a few years, all this
has been understood. lit has not
been over decade, since West Vir-
ginia was sort of an object of ridi-
Guile, the people here being supposed
TO be practically semi barbarians.
All this has lately changed. 1t may
be said the eyes OF the world are now
on this State. Money is pouring into
1t, The newspapers talk much Of it.
Its natural resources are things of
wonder and admiration. 1t is recog-
nized as having an industrious, intel
ligent and progressive people.

Wheeling News.

B. d o. Railway officials are deep
ly interested ia the outcome of the
prosecution of a reckless gang of
young mountaineers who made half
n dozen attempts to wreck passen-
ger trains on the Grafton d Beling.
ton branch Of the road The boys,
when arrested, said they piled OBJ
structions on the track to see how
funny it would be to roll few coach
es filled with precious human freight
down the sharp decliyities of their
mountain province. 1t is expected
here that the cases will come up next
week. The men who will be placed
on trial are George, Homer and Okey
Harvey, Asa and Jud Somers and S.
Fitzwater They were arrested last
Summer by Detective Shorts and
taken to Philippi where they were
locked up on the charge Of train
wrecking. One of the men broke
down and confessed that they had
placed a lot of railroad bars and
other material on the track of the G..
Il B. Railroad at a point near Sandy
Creek for the purpose of wrecking
the passenger train which was near
ly due at that time. They then went
on hill nearby to ''see the fun, as
they termed it, when the train went
&C the track and into the river They
were disappointed as to the passen-
ger train but freight train that
was ahead of it was wrecked by the
obstruction. They stood on the hill
over 200 feet above the railroad and
saw the wreck and then went back
over the mountain and escaped.
When the other members of the gang
were told of this confession they also
confessed to assisting in the work,
but claimed the prisoner who made
the first confession was the leader,
and that he had started the work of
obstruction and they simply helped
him They are very ignorant men
and seemed to think that this re-
lieved them of responsibility. The
grand jury of Barbour county re
turned an indictment against each OF
them for train wrecking couple OF
days ago and they will be placed on
trial in few days. The exact date
of the trial has not yet been set
One of the Harveys when he was in
formed of the indictments having
been returned laughed oyer the mat
ter, and stated that he would as soon

Young Men Wanted.
West Virginian.

W eSt VII Sluittu.
This is an age when the young man
with brains, pluck and ambition can
get to the top, but he must work.
Here in West Virginia young men are
wanted, and there is no other place
on earth with equal advantages.
Look over the State and see the large
number of young men who are leading
in business and professional circles,
and the most of them started in life
with nothing but brains, energy and
push for their capital. The most OF
them are under the forty-five mark.
The majority of the men on the Re-
publican and Democratic State tickets
are under the age of fifty years, and
nearly all the great leaders in the coal
fields of this state are on the sunny
side OF the half century turn. There
are more chances than ever before for
the young man TO rise. and all can
find plenty of room in West Virginia,
where the chances to gain wealth are
as plenty as the wonderful fables Of
Solomon's riches, young man come to
West Virginia.

In Our Favor was the Score at Califor-
mia on Last Saturday-BOy Play a
Fine Game.

On Saturday afternoon at Cali
fornia the Varsity met California
Normal and beat them out by a
score of eleven to six The home
boys scored in the first half and
their opponents gained their touch
down in the second. The game was
hot one from start 10 finish. The
Normals weighed one eighty five
and the Varsity but one sixty.
However the heavier team could
do nothing with the line and made
their gains around the ends. Winans
was Knocked out once ON the five
yard line while he was carrying the
ball and it was lost to California.
In case this accident had not occur
led there would have been another
score to our credit.
Next Saturday w. & j. will be
met at Washington. The home boys
hope to score but they do not ex-
pect to do any thing more. Wash
ington and Jefferson has purchased
very fine team this year and they
have licked all of the small college
teams they have encountered. They
have been beaten twice by Cornell

Dor Organizations in Flourishing

The local union of Journeymen
Stonecutters gave a banquet at theii
hall in the Posten building on Satur-

success and reflected much credit on
the gentlemen who compose the or

which had just been received.
The union has just been organized
here and has about fifteen members.
Many of these are employed on the
new buildings at the University while
other buildings in town have also con-
trlbuted their share of men and local
men make up the rest of the member
ship.
Several visitors were present from
Fairmont and Uniontown. Others
were expected from these towns but
were prevented from coming. Repre-
stntatiYes of the other unions in town
and of the local newspapers were pres
ent.
The menu was very excellent and
dainty one. The list of toasts was
very fine and the evening was one OF
rare enjoyment. Song, story and
short speeches made the hours pass
swiftly and it was at late hour
when the party broke up.
Morgantown has several labor or
CARNATIONS and the movement toward
the foration of the societies was neve!
so marked as at present. They will
result in the betterment of the condi-
