DOGS TO BE TAXED.
The CountyeCourt Orders that a Vote
be Taken on the Question.

A long petition was recently sub
mitted to the county court asking
that the question of taxing dogs
throughout the county be submitted
to vote. The court took up the
question and ordered that it be sub
mitted. There is little doubt that
the tax will be voted. Below is the
report as taken from the record
G. A. Anderson, ct al, voters of this
county, filed their petition praying the
court to order vote to be taken on
the question of taxing dogs in this
county pursuant to Chapter 81 of the
code of West Virginia, and especially
section IL of said code. Said petition
in these words:
"To the Commissioners, etc.::n On
cOsideration whereof, it was ordered
that said vote be taken at the next
general election. uo-wit: At the gen.
eral election in November next in the
manner and form according to law.
The court examined the petition
and it became an order of the court.

L. Y. & C. EXTENSION.
Actions Point Towards its Completion
into Virginia Old Charter has Ex-
pired Exceptions to Indemnity
Bonds Filed In Prothonotary's Of
fiee-WiIl he Decided In Court.

Parties evidently railroad men, are
optioning the properties on the upper
or west side OF the p. v. q G. railroad
track in West Brownsville says the
Uniontown Genius. II Is reported
that all the ground along the line has
been secured. This indicates that
double track will be run through town
and may be the forerunner Of the GER
tain extension OF the road to the West
Virginia line In the near future.
On the new map OF Fayette county,
which has just recently been compile
ted, the p. v. & G. railroad is indi-
Gated as following the Monongahela
river until it reaches Virginia. The
surveys and railroads on this map are
said to be authentic. Already num-
Der OF bonds for damages for taking
land along the Monongahela river
have been filed in the Prothonotary's
Office, and the extension Of this road
into Virginia seems now to be an as
sured thing.
But a question has arisen as to
whether or not the p. v. II G. railway
company can file indemnity bonds un.
der their charter, which provides for
the completion OF the road into Vir-
ginia within five years from the time
1t was granted, which was In 1873.
Yesterday Mr.. w. III. Playford, at
torney for the F. v. Il G. presented
petition to approve security and fled q
bond to William III. Rifle for DANA
ges for taking land, and exceptions
were filed by Rifles counsel, w. G.
Mexican, on the ground that the
charter had expired. The matter will
now come before argument court, and
the decision will be watched with in
terest.

SELLS OUT.
Union Improvement Company
Has Closed its Career.

Twelve Years Ago 1t Began Business
in M0rgantoWn-N Much Done for the
Town In that Time-Sew Company
Composed of old Firm-Second Fill
ter Complete and Working.
The Union Improvement Company
Of Morgantown is out of business
after a chartered existence of twelve
years. During that time it has done
d great deal of work for the town
and has shared very substantially
in the prosperity incident to the
growth which it has been largely
instrumental in bringing here.
The Company has transferred all
OF its property both stock and other
wise to a new concern which is sly
led the Union Gas and Water Com
pany. The stockholders are the
same in each concern and the man
agemenu will remain the same. The
purchase price is not to be given
out by either party to the sale
The business of the old company
has increased so much and the scope
of it is SO much larger than it was
when the start was made that it
was decided to take the step related
above Mr.. Grant the manager of
the company stated that they had
spent over twenty-five thousand dol
lars this last year in Improvements
and were to spend more.
They are now ready to enlarge the
capital stock at any time that it
may be necessary on account of the
growth of the business.
A second filter has just been com
pleted at the pumping station and
it makes the capacity of the station
now one million gallons of water a
day. This is enough to supply a
town of twenty thousand people and
it will probably be enough for some
time to come to meet all Of our
needs
Morgantown has the best water
supply Of any town of its size in the
country and need have no fears
whatever on the score of either suffi-
cheney or quality of the water furn-
ished. Every drop of it is filtered
into absolute purity before it is sent
through the pipes.

FLATTERING LETTER.
c. S. Inspecting Officer Tells Colonel
Fast that He was Well Pleased with
the State of the Cadet Corps.

A short time ago the annual in
spection Of the cadet corps was
made by Capt. Brookson of the q.
S. Army. Everything was in first
class shape and the results of the
inspection were highly satisfactory
to the local people That they were
not misled as to the impression. that
they made private letter from the
Inspector to Col. Fast who has had
charge of the corps is guaranteed.
He writes the Colonel thatssin his
report of the inspection he recon-
mended that the battalion be sup
piled with modern Krag-Jorgensen
rifles and with breech loading field
guns in place of the old Springfelds
and Napoleons now on hands. He
adds ''They both need and deserve
them"
Just as the war broke out with
Spain an order had been made al
lowing the issuance of two breech
loading field pieces of modern make
but the war put an end to this move.
Now that this emergency is passed
the corps will probably get what
they had granted them before. 1t
will add very much to the appear
ance and efficiency of the organiza-
ton to have these supplies.
A move is also on foot to equip
the National Guard of the state
with the Krags. and it is thought
that the plan will be successful.
