An Anti-Kissing Club.

Kansas has produced SO many pecu-
liar things that it has been suspected
of having something extraordinary in
its atmosphere. There can no longer
be any doubt about it, Its latest de-
velopment is an santi-kissing club, Z
composed principally Of married men.
This organization holds that kissing
is bad practice, and several members
assert their wives fully agree with
them.
There is one rea sonable base for
such an opinion on the part of the
wives, for Kansas is the land of flow
ng boards But even taking that
circumstance into consideration there
is something abnormal about the club.
Why should married men, their wives
agreeing, need an organization to sup
port their resolution to abstain from
what they deem harmful practice2
IL they are afraid Of bacteria they
should be able to avoid it without ad
yertising the fact. In short, this
club is a broducto of Kansas. Its exist
ence is without reason and defiant of
reason.

The Situation in the Thacker,

is the calm before the storm.
This morning union agents arrived
who got the enraged mob under their
control, and bloodshed to-day was pre-
vented. They have now planned a
concerted action against the nom
union men by all the union men of
Mingo, who number more than a
thousand. The strikers will hold a
meeting tomorrow. They are deter

to quit work, and will use force if
necessary. The result is TO be

Prove too Smart-The Argus Tells
about Ii.
The current issue Of the Kingwood
Argus has the following which is Of
interest to the people of this town
and county:
The celebrated Major Field conclu-
ded TO hunt some more congenial
cline and fixed up his business affairs
last Saturday morning and departed
that afternoon for parts unknown ac-
companied by his Wife-sister.
They drove to Oakland and took No
46, for no one knows where, and sent
the team, which belonged to Mrs.
Polly Field back to this place by a
boy. The only wonder is he did not
sell the team, but perhaps was afraid
of being traced and the horses recov
cred.
A warrant was sworn out at Nor
gantown for them both and sent here
TO be served Just about the time they
left. He alleged, when he procured
his license at Morgantown, that he
was the adopted son Of Daniel Field,
this county. This was not true, as
Field was killed 10 the army about
1864, and as the Major gives in his
age at 80, he could not have been
born until 6s and besides, was about
8 years old when the Fields family
got him. Anyhow Daniel Field
never saw him, as he was dead before
the Major was born; and the latter
was brought up by the widow, Aunt
Polly" Field.
The joke is on the County Clerk, at
MorgantoWn, for issuing the license,
and on DR.. Leeeh the NJ e. pastor in
marrying them, but, OF course, these
parties were innocent as the names
were given In as Miss Martha Watts.
Of Monongalia Co., and Minor S..
Field Of Preston CO., aud they did not
know that there was any relationship
between them.
1t seems now that the Major was
counting the girl all the time she was
here in Kingwood and all the time
claiming to be filled with brotherly
solicitude about her welfare.

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED.
Peoples Telephone Company to
Extend Its Lines.


I Elected Changes in Plans of Rum
ming the Concern-New Switchboard
for M0rgant0wn.
A meeting of the stockholders of
The Peoples Telephone company is to
be held this afternoon on Jakes run.
The purpose of the meeting is for
the election of board of directors.
It will be the annual meeting. This
meeting should have taken place last
month but it failed for lack of a quo
rum.
1t is expected that several of the
old directors will not be reelected
There is desire on the part Of
majority Of the stockholders to ex-
tend the plant Of the company and
to make many improvements in the
service. This effort is being resisted
by part of the stockholders who want
to leave things as they are at pres
ent.
Among the improvements that are
planned is switchboard for Nor
gantown. The old one has become
too small for the demands that are
being made on it and a new one has
become necessity.
= The number of phones in the town
and country could be vastly in
creased if the plant were improved

jority of the stock holders are aware
of this fact according to the state
ments made by one of the most

Caple Holland is president of the
company Since he has taken hold
of it the company has been doing
very we'll There was a large debt
hanging over it when he assumed
direction Of affairs and now this has
been greatly reduced.
Everyone VINO is interested in the
rates for phones in the town should
be glad to see the Peoples company
extend their lines and grow in
strength. It has been invaluable to
the residents of the country giving
them service much lower than any
other and giving them in fact ser
vice which they could get nowhere
else.
