ways been favorite place with the
public OF Morgantown. The best at
tention and the best BARRIERS have
always been given his customers.
He is better fixed than ever to look
after the comfort of those who pat
ronize him now. Five BARRIERS are
on hand at all times so that there
need be no long waits. Drop in
and be through with your shave or
your hair cut while you are waiting
in other shops where there are not
enough BARRIERS to care for the peo-
pie. Bowers rooms have been re-
modelled and refurnished and they
would be credit to place much

MAY NOT STRIKE SOON.
Such Talk as to West Virginia Miners
Situation.

Indianapolis, April 10.--The ma
tional executive board of the United
Mine Workers, in session here. will
attempt to effect a settlement In the
block coal district of Indiana with.
out strike. The board has arrived
at no decision regarding the situation
in West Virginia, but some OF the
members talked in tone indicating
that a strike may not be declared for
some time. The strike In Hopkins
county, KY, where nearly 1900 men
have been out for more than year,
is now being considered The mine
owners have refused to recognize the
union, ind the latter has succeeded
at cost of nearly 100000 in pre-
venting the mine owners from oper
ating their properties.
The members of the board believe
the situation in the Clearfield (Pa.)
district, where it is reported the
Rochester and Pittsburg Company in.
tends to close down Its mines in the
hope Of driving the organization out,
is exaggerated

A GREAT CALAMITY.
Avoided In the Firm OF II. w. Protz-
man 4 Go.

A few weeks ago II. w. Protzman
ordered great lot of pianos and or.
gans and in day or two after some
thing less than a car load OF ma
chimes. This excited the old man so
much that he threatened to with
draw from the firm thinking they
never could sell them all. But upon
second thought he put little note
in the daily papers as sort of ad
vertisement and as soon as the peo-
pie learned that they could get the
best grade of pianos and organs at a
fair price and sewing machines from
$l1 up they came locking in and the
trade keeps up so that it now keeps
the drayman busy TO deliver goods
and harmony has been restored and
the old man wears broad smile of
welcome to all who come.

CLOSE FRIDAY NIGHT.
Revival Services at Baptist Church to
End Then.

The revival services which are being
held at the Baptist church will close
Friday night. In spite Of the dis
agreeable weather aud other unfavor-
able conditions the meeting has been
most successful one. DR.. Bruner
preached the gospel with rare tender
ness and power and is peculiarly gift
ed in making the truth attractive and
effective. Already God has greatly
blessed his work in our midst and
has used him in leading nearly a
score OF souls to Christ. 1t is 40 easy
thing to resist his appeals-the are
so earnest and so loving. Let every
body who possibly can come and hear
him tonight, and tomorrow afternoon
and evening and thus make his last
days among us not only the most
pleasant, but also the most fruitful in
the way Of winning souls.

WILL NOT STRIKE.
Leading Southern Operator
Makes That Statement.

He says That the Miners Interests are
Opposed to Those who Want to get
Them to Strike-Mr. Neil Robi nson
Visits His son Here aud Talks Inter.
estingly about the Situation,
Mr.. Neil w. Robinson, of Charles
ton, who has been here to visit his
son Carel, who is student in the
University talked about the coal mi.
ners of the state and the strike sit
uation as he viewed it. He is one of
the leading coal men of his section
of the state and his opinion is worth
a great deal. Among other things
he said:
$50 far as the Kanawha and New
River fields are concerned, there will
be no strike, even If an order to that
effect should be issued from head
quarters of the United Mine w ork-
ers, in Indianapolis. Our miners do
not belong to the union. They have
an organization known as the West
Virginia Miners Association, md If
they have any grievances and differ
ences, which are few, they come to
the operators and such matters are
Immediately adjusted. am pleased
to learn that just such mutual rela-
tions exist between miner and oper-
ator in your Fairmont region.
'The miners OF West Virginia can
not afford to join the national Mine
Workers union, and seem to see il
that way. The organization is dom
mated by the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Pennsylvania and other outside In
fiuenees, and the outsiders are riv ais
of the West Virginia miners, as they
are the West Virginia operators.
"The coal miners of this state are
intelligent, and know well enough
that they are more prosperous
than their brothers in these other
states, and that to join the union
would not better their condition, but
put them on plane with those of
other states. If the West Virginia
miners are uDionized, then good
times for West Virginia would cease,
because the operators and miners
would be subject to orders from In
diana and other states, and natural
ly they would seek to stir up strife
here, and throw the mines idle the
greater part of the year.
The stories are false as to TIL u-
sands of our miners being in the un-
ion. When the organizers secure
25 members in u mine employing
500 men, they claim all 500 for the
union. That is the way they figure
SO many members. The profession
al organizer must be doing some
thing to keep his job, and they are
very industrious in West Virginia
just now, but without avail.
"An Illinois operator said In a
public meeting not long ago that
West Virginia must be organized, or
they would have to go out Of bust
ness. West Virginia miners and OPP
orators are working for the interests
of their own people, and the mselves,
and not for Illinois.

WILL THERE BE FLOODS!
Last Sunday was the Fifth Continuous
one That it has Rained.

There is an old saying that If it
rains five Sundays in succession that
the sixth Sunday will witnesses a
flood. Last Sunday was the fifth con-
tinuous one that it has rained so that
the superstitious are looking for the
fulflllment of the prognostication next
Sunday.
This has been strengthened some
what by the prediction made by DR..
Bean that great flood will occur in
the eastern portion of the United
States between the 9th and 18th Of
April on account OF the condition of
the planets. twill be interesting to
note whether or not the sixth Sunday
and DIR. Beams prediction will bring
the food.

POTOMAC WAS RISING.
Fears of a Bad Flod Owing to Volume
of Snow.

Cumberland, Md, April 10.--The
Potomac river was rising. although
not rapidly as the snow is melting
slowly. The river was about Is feet
above low water mark last night
Such a volume of snow so late in the
season has never before been known
and the worst Is feared when it com
mences to go of with rush. The
Blackwater and Cheat rivers have
overlooked the banks, inundating con
siderable farming land and destroy
ing large amount of property.
Snow has fallen at Fairfax, w. Va,
to the depth of 80 inches.
A large landslide occurred on the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
railroad at Copperas Rock yesterday.

ABOUT THE POSTOFFICE.
Population of Seven Thousand
for Morgantown
Census Made by Carriers reveals This
Fact-Big Increase In Volume Of Bus.
iness Transacted-Po Postmaster FITCH
will be Re.appointed to ONCE.

Morgantown has population of
1000 This fact has been learned
through census taken by the post
Office carriers. More than $500 peo-
pie are served from the local postof-
flee outside of those who get their
mail through the rural carriers.
This is inclusive of the West Side
although this is not in the incorpor-
alton.
1t does not include those who live
at Scrafford and get their mail from
( the office at that point. This is in
sthe city limits but the carriers sys-
tenn is net extended to take in that
part of town because the old plan is
the more convenient for people liv-
ing around the Pump Station. These
bring the population up to about T.
! 600.
This is big increase over the
figures shown by the last census.
The figures grow larger every day
and it is only matter of a very
short time until we shall have reach
ed and passed the 10000 mark.
Matters are running nicely at the
postoffice. The years business has
just been closed and a new one be-
gun. Last year the business done
amounted to $12,679.24. The year
before it was $l1, 1854. Fully $1,000
was lost from box rent and by rea-
son of discovering that the Universe
ty catalogues went at pound rates
when sent out four times year.
The money order business amount
ed to 100000 This branch of the
business is increasing very fast as
are all parts Of postoffice activity.
During the past year no new rural
routes were established. The pres
ent routes serve about !, 800 people.
A new route is to be started from
Vanvoorhis but nothing new about it
1 has been heard recently.
Postmaster j. p Fiteh's term will
expire in July. Nothing has been
done toward naming his successor
\ but Congressman Dayton has an.
hzounced that he will nominate Fitch
for second term. The request for
his appointment will be made soon
and it is not thought that there will
be anything in the way of his re.
ceiving the office second time.
