TWO CENTS
RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Extension Strongly Urged by a
Department Report.

First assistant Postmaster General
Shows what Has Been Accomplished
by More Liberal Appropriations
postmasters Require $4,000, 90
Next Year.
A plea for wide expansion of rural
free delivery Is made In the annual
report Of W. Nj. johnson, first assist
ant postmaster general. He says that
the extraordinary Developments OF this
system during the past Il mouths
under the stimulus of appropriations
of $3.50, 600 for the fiscal year 1899
1000 and 81, 100, 600 for the fiscal year
l000.l90l Is conclusive as showing
that hereafter IL must be an expand
ing feature OF the postal administra-
ton. The service can now be ex-
tended as swiftly as Congress may tli-
rect or as the means permit, until IL
covers all those portions of the United
States now reached by the more prim~
Tive methods OF the postal service.
This change Mr. johnson believes can
be effected without excessive cost to
the government
The present policy Is to extend rural
delivery so that each route may be
dovetaiIed upon another route here.
after TO be started and with this idea
in view rural free delivery is eventual
ly to extend over all we'll settled rural
communities in the United States.
Bearing On the question of cost 436
star routes and mail messenger SER
vices have been discontinued or cur
tailed. Between July ] and Novem-
Der |, 1900 there have been 1898 adj
ditional rural free delivery routes In
stalled supplying or, 3o7 people.
Recommendation is made for re-
classification Of postoffice clerks, and
for Is days leave OF absence with pay
each year for carriers on rural routes.
An appropriation OF SIS. 200. 900 Is
asked for compensation Of postmasters
fof the next fiscal year. The regular
free delivery service was established
in g. cities, necessitating the appoint
ment Of 10 carriers, making the total
number OF free delivery Offices In oper-
alton June 30 last, 1856. Regular
free delivery 1t is estimated will cost
SIT, 40, 900 for the next fiscal year.
an increase OF almost per cent.
During the last fiscal year; postal
money orders issued amounted to
1855, $40, 22s an increase OF almost
$3i, 900, 600. II is apparent that IL
for the next two years the business
OF the money order system increases
correspondingly with that Of the past
year, its receipts will reach 81, 900, 900
per day. The net earnings OF the
money order system were 81, $40, 642.
The department. purposes to provide
money order facilities for all localities
where they may prove convenient.
The number Of offices now exceeds
10000. international money order
business is being transacted with 40
foreign countries. Recommendations
is made that the fees for domestic
money orders be reduced to the maxi
mum OF 20 cents for an order OF 800,
the minimum OF cents to remain as
at present.

THE SAME
Number of congressman For West
Virginia Under the Plan Proposed
Under New Census.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Repre
sentative Hopkins, OF Illinois. Chair
man OF the House Committee on
Census. arrived here last night. Mr..
Hopkins has been revolving in his
mind a plan for the reapportionment
of the states for representation in
Congress under the new census. The
plan is not quite complete yet, aud
the Chairman of the committee re.
fuses to discuss his plans in the
most general way,
According to the plan he has in
mind the number of people entitled
to "A representative in Congress will
be fixed at about l9s,000 rhe pres
ent ratio Representative is one TO
every Ia, 900 persons approximate
ly. Should the ratio be raised to 1888.
600 Ohio will still be entitled to
her q Representatives Under the
present ratio she has had 81, but
the extra one was acquired by rea
son of the preponderating fraction.
1t will be found that 19S,000 as the
diyisor, and 4,l56,545 as the divi.
dend, will give the almost exact
quotient of IL Should the ratio be
made slightly higher it is likely
that Ohio would not suffer any loss
in her present quota.
Indiana would be entitled to 13
Representatives uuder tae proposed
ratio, while Kentucky would have II
and West Virginia 4. The total in
crease in the representation in Con.
gress, Mr.. Hopkins figures, would be
about 20. The question Of reduced
representation from the Southern
States has not yet been considered
nor will 1t be in connection with the
reapportionment.

GAME PROTECTION.
Monongalia County Protective
Association Revived.

Meeting Held On Wednesday Night and
Officers Elected Steps win BE Takeii
to Prosecute all Violations OF the
Game and Fish Laws-informatio
Wanted by Officers.
The Monongalia county Protective
Association was reorganized on We'd
nesday evening In the offices of Court
ney * MeDermo6t. A number of
those Interested in the matter met
and took steps to get the Association
started again. Col. Jos. H. MeDer-
mott was elected President and JUS
tin M. Kunkle secretary and treasurer
of the organization.
1t is proposed TO make it perma-
nent affair A membership fee of two
dollars per year was decided on. This
will be used in scattering the game
laws over the county. II will also be
used in helping obtain information
that will lead to the arrest and con-
yiction Of game law volators.
Attention is especially to be called
to the fines that are To be assessed on
people who hunt birds out OF season,
to the fact that outside hunters have
TO pay license fee and to the fac5
that it is unlawful to keep or use a
ferret TO hunt rabbits. Half of the
fines levied by this chapter Of the
code 60 to the informer.
Citizens OF the county have the
right TO arrest offenders and take
them before the nearest magistrate
who will at once try them and assess
the fines. There is quick action on
all of the sections.
1t is the intention Of the Associa-
tion to secure as many members from
among the farmers as possible. 1t is
hoped that they will aid the organiza-
ton in breaking up game law VIOLA
tons. There is no reason why the
practice should not be entirely stop
ped. Those who want any informa-
tion about the law or copies of the
law can get them by addressing the
secretary.
All information in regard to viola
tions Of the law should be sent at
once to the secretary. 1t is the in
tention to investigate all cases that
arise and punish the law breakers to
the fullest extent OF the law which is
very ample.

The election is over. Mr.. Bryan the

their ballots to Mckinley who stands
for an imperial government every

believe with Senator Hoar that this adj
ministration marks the beginning OF the
downfall of this great republic which
England SO earnestly desires to see.
Before the election news was com

throughout the country greatly rejoiced
over the defeat OF Bryan and Organism

drifting towards Hamiltonism Ca mon

science too clear, too honest man, too
much love for humanity to be Presi-
Dental candidate. the democrats must
accept it and make the best OF it they
could and bring out no more such men
as candidates for the Presidency.
Where are we drifting when an hon.
est conscientious man cannot be elected

he must have cold heart, care nothing

Morgantown was visited on We'd
nesday afternoon by d very heavy
wind storm. The storm was very
severe and did some damage both ia
town and surrounding country.
However ia other sections of thecoun-
try 1t was much worse than here. In
Tennessee and other southern states
it killed scores OF people and the dam
age will run into thousands of dollars.
Blair's shop in South Morgantown
was unroofed. The roof was blown
for some distance. No one was hurt.
Mrs. Wotring was blown from her
porch and when she had regained it
she was blown off for the second time
but was uninjured on each occasion
aside from severe shaking up.
People crossing the bridge to South
Park had to lie down and crawl on ac-
count Of the high wind. They came
near being blown from the bridge.
A house belonging to Mike Funfrock
in Seneca was blown down. 1t had
been weatherboarded and was nearly
ready for the roof. 1t was complete
ly wrecked. lack Gidley had the con-
tract. 1t is thought that it can be
put back in shape for one hundred and
fifty dollars. 1t was stated yesterday
that this house belonged TO Courtney
& McDermott but this is not true.
Funfrock is night furnace man at the
Seneca Glass factory and the house is
Gated on Grant Avenue.
Out in the country the damage was
worse Trees were blown down ia
every direction. Grant district fav-
ed worse. Haystacks were sent flying
through the air and many trees were
blown down.
Over Cheat very large trees fell.
Some of them are said to have been
two feet through. Few trees in town
were damaged. Limbs were flying
rather thick at times and many signs
came down. One went through the
window at the Acme Publishing Con-
pany's Office and smashed it into bits.
