STREET SWEEPER NEEDED.
Practical Engineer Says That They are
Things To DO The Work With.

The method of cleaning the streets
with the hose is very rapid one and
the mud is taken off very clearly.
An engineer was asked II it would in
jure the pavement to use the hose in
that manner on it and stated that it
did the pavement no good.
He said however that the sewers
would not clog with the mud washed
away unless they were very small.
While talking over the matter OF
cleaning the streets he asked why a
street sweeper was not used here. A
street sweeper will clean your streets
and make them as bare as that pave
ment just behind the hose.
They can be operated for very
small cost and this town should have
one of them. The street could be
kept free OF mud and other accumula-
tions of dirt all the time

WOMAN WE'D roo OFTEN.
A West Virginia Bigamy Case Occupy
ing the attention Of the Police.

DThe authorities in Wheeling have
turned on some surprising disclosures
in the case OF Mrs. Joseph Yost and
her husband, who are under arrest at
Benwood, a small town below Wheel
ing on charges OF bigamy. Last sum-
mer, one day Benjamin Crowley q
Wheeling man was arrested for abus-
ing his wife. He was sent To Jail on
forty i've day sentence, and In the
course OF his imprisonment Mrs.
Crowley left his home. She went to
Littleton, where she met and soon
married her cousin, Joseph Yost,
stalwart countryman, ignorant entire
ly OF the ways OF the world. Crowly
thought long and earnestly and de-
cided to have his errins wife and her
last husband arrested. So they we're
arranged In court after enjoying
brief career together of eight weeks.
Now, the police find that Mrs. Yost
has three living husbands. She was
formerly Sarah Hines, OF Midland
county, Michigan. At Lansing she
married William Lappe. She left
him because he mistreated her. She
met Crowley, the Wheeling man, at
Detroit, and after courtshipof few
hours married him. Then Crowley
abused her and her third marriage re-
resulted. Mrs. Yosts arrest angered
her, so she had warrants issued chafg-
ing Crowley with bgamy. She claims
he has one or two wives living Id
Michigan, near Detroit For plea Id
the first case Mrs. Yost weepingly
contends that she did not know that
it was wrong TO wed without due pro-
ceedings for divorce.

ICE GOES OUT.
No Damage Here-LOts of Excitement
at Point Marion-L0gs and Telephone
Poles get the Worst of 1t.

The ice on pool number 9 broke at
noon to-day and has about disap-
peared. The ice from above under
pressure of slight rise in the river
due to the heavy rains of yesterday
and last night came down on
the ice here and it began to break
kand 60 out. The ice was slow in
Dbreaking and several small gorges
Eormed but they all soon disappear
ed andIhe ice went out without es-
pecial incident or damage.
A great many sightseers watched
the spectacle which was very in
teresting one.
People ON the noon train stated
that the ice was also moving out of
Cheat and was going out of number
ten as they came up. The damage
being done at Point Marion from the
ice in Cheat was considerable. The
ice had formed heavy gorge to the
bottom of Cheat and the river was
rising fast. A large number of logs
and telephone poles were being bro
ken up by the force of the conflict.
They were thrown against each 9th
er and smashed into splinters as the
water and ice fought for supremacy.
1t was said to have been a terrible
sight. The bridge was not consid-
cred TO be in danger.

Oil Notes.

The South Penn Oil Company's
No. 2, on the Cooke-Tennant farm,
on the east side of the deep sand de-
velopment, on Flat run, MonoDgalia
county, w. Va. has been completed,
and is making APO barrels a day.
This well is producing more than any
other two wells in the lower southwest.
One of the peculiar things about it is
its location. There is dry hole be-
tween it and the development proper,
and had this one been buster there
would have been no great surprise.
In the northeast extension of the
Campbells run development, in Mon
ongalia county the South Penn Oil
Company has completed its No. 3, on
the A. j. Carrothers farm, and has a
good producer. The well made rs
barrels the first "a hours after 1t had
been completed. To the west of the
northeast extension of the Campbells
run development the Battslle Oil
Company is drilling two test wells on
the John Strosnider farm. The
South Penn Company is also drilling
test wells on the Rufus Bell, Eli Col
Inns and G. w. Mobley farms.

BURGLARS AT CALIFORNIA.
PoStofhce Looted and Geo. Will
kinson's House Entered.
Nearly $500 in Cash, 800 or More in
Stamps aud Valuable Papers Stolen
Mr.. Wilkinson Loses Pair of Pants
and s25-Robberies Numerous Lately

CALIFORNIA, Pa. Jan. IL. The
postofice at this place was entered
last night and looted. Nearly thou,
sand dollars worth of money, stamps
and valuable papers were carried of
by the thieves. The safe in which
the valuables were stored, was crack.
Ell and the things the thieves did not
want they practically destroyed by
scattering them over the floor and
tramping them under foot
Entrance was gained by prying
open rear door to the postoffice
building. The safe was opened Iy
boring hole into the combination
and releasing the bolts by the aid OF
fine wires. So cleyerly was the work
done that the safe was uninjured save
by the hole through the sheeting over
the lock. After taking out all the
money which was in a small tray, the
books and papers in it were also taken
out and scattered over the floor
An inventory this morning showed
that $500 belonging to the govern
ment and 500 belonging to Postmaster
j. |. McKenna had been taken, be-
sides 1000 two-cent stamps and some
other denominations and a number OF
valuable checks.
Who the perpetrators of the robbery
are no one here has been able to find
out yet. The deed was committed
after II o'clock, between that hour
and six. When the postmaster left
at a late hour everything seemed safe
and the money and yaluables were put
in the safe with confidence in its safe
ty. Government officials are now
working On the case. They are Of the
opinion that the men are experts.
The house Of George Wilkinson was
also entered and a pair of pantaloons
with $25 in the pockets, stolen. The
thief entered his bed room and took
the pantaloons from a chair without
awakening the occupant.
A number of robberies have been
committed here in the last month and
the people are becoming alarmed at
the boldness of the robbers.

STILL DEFIANT.
Weston Hos pital Board Re-
tains DR.. Stathers.
They have Left Him in His Old Place
Against the Wishes OF Every Decent
Person i'm the State-Terrible Sean
dial at Weston Continues Board
Should be Lashed TO Action.


/ Mr.. Alex. McVeigh Miller one of
the members of the board of regents
of the Weston Hospital is in town.
He is accompanied by Mrs. Miller
and they are visiting their three
children who are students at the Tn
versity. Mr.. Miller was seen by II
representative OF this paper and
asked about the status of Stathers
or affairs at Weston
He stated that the Superintendent
DR.. Stathers who had resigned un.
der fire at former meeting Of the
board had been virtually retained
by the board refusing to elect sue.
cessor There were five votes for
him and four against him. At a
former meeting there was but one
vote against him and that one was
cast by the member from Greenbri-
er county, Mr. Miller
The board had become educated
somewhat to the situation up there
and they have decided not to stand
for it any longer Some of them
have evidently made up their minds
to let Stathers stay no matter what
awful relations are made regard
ing his character and no matter what
the decent people of the state think
OF the procedure.
There is absolutely no doubt of
the guilt of Stathers and it is as az
gravated as possible. There is not
single circumstance that could
make it more so but the members of
the board at least majority of them
seem determined to retain him in of
flee.
Why this is done cannot be told.
There is seemingly no justification
tor it and those who are doing it of
fer no reasons that would be grave
enough to overcome the tremendous
objections to such man in such
place.
The unfortunates of this state de-
mand that the people who have them
in charge are what they should be.
Stathers is everything that he should
not be or at least that is the evil
dence that has been produced. His
retention is an outrage on the re
spectacle people of the state and
somebody is going to have to answer
for it il it is not remedied.
The newspapers OF the state should
not rest until they have driven this
man out of the asylum and people
can feel that the unfortunates con-
fined in it's walls are safe al least
from those who have them in charge

w. and j. Students Have Called Them
Down Hard-Must Not wear Mus.
taches-Can't Call ON the Girls
Sweaters. Caps. University Pins and
Other Regalia Tabooed.
Props and Freshmen at w. and ].
won't get gay after this or they will be
severely dealt with by the upper class
men. The situation that has been
reached over there is told as follows:
The props and freshmen at W. and
j. college must hereafter bow to the
dictates of the upper classmen, and
especially to the members of the soph-
omore class. The sophs have recent
ly come to the conclusion that the
props and freshmen have been assert
ing themselves in a manner altogether
too advanced, and they have deter
mined to curb these advances and
teach the lower classmen their right
full station in college life. The man
ner in which the props especially have
come to assert themselves at the col
lege has become unbearable to the up
per collegemen and it has been deeid-
ed that in the future their dignity
must be respected and that the lower
classmen must obey certain rules
which have been prescribed.
A meeting of the sophomore and
freshmen classes was held at which
definite action was taken in this i'm
portant matter and as result the
standard Of college ethics has been
raised. The meeting was suggested
by the sophomores and to add to the
influence of the movement the fresh
men were invited to participate in the
deliberations, as the results will mean
much to them in the future. A COM
mittee from the sophomore class pre-
sented a set OF resolutions, which
were satisfactory to the members of
the two classes and committee was
appointed, consisting Of the president
and two members from each class, to
prepare final set of regulations for
adoption when they will be publicly
posted. The members of this COM
mittee are Cooper, Gill and Shallen-
berger from the sophomore class and
Mckee, Hammer and Barnett from
the freshman class. The principal
rules for the conduct of the preps and
freshies are taken from those which
have been in vogue in the eastern COL
leges from time immemorial. These
lower classmen will not be allowed to
smoke pipe Oh the streets of the
town, wear any headgear but SLOUGH
hats, wear no Jerseys, sweaters or pins
which bear the college colors or in
sigma. except where they have been
given to varsity man by order of the
athletic association. The professors
must be properly saluted, while visits
to the seminary to call on lady friends
will be strictly prohibited. A further
regulation is that no college man be-
low the junior class will be permitted
TO wear mustache or beard. Some
other minor regulations may be added
to these by the committee. The
freshmen class is to submit to these
rules until after February 22d, but
they will be enforced as to the props
for all time. What measures will be
taken to enforce the rules has not yet
been determined, but the upper class
men will bind themselves to see that
the laws are respected. There is like
ly to be some opposition among those
who are directly concerned in the
matter and enforcement of the rules
will likely make some interesting
| times.
