CLEAN UP.
Householders Owe it to Themselves
and the Public Generally to Work
TO Prevent Disease.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION.
The season of cold weather Is past
the summer is on us. When refuse OF
all kind was frozen we were exempt
from many Of the conditions, which
now present themselves. We face a
proposition that must be considered
by every citizen and resident of
Greater Morgantown. The action
of heat and moisture upon this ac-
cumalated mass is the cause of a
change, and that change results in
the propagation OF nauseous oder.
and worse than the oder, comes the
disease producing germs and the in
sects that carry them about
Our town has grown to city and
its sanitation has not grown TO meet
the demand of the increased popu-
lation, but that demand must be
met and met Immediately Ia the
present method of the concentration
of refuse, the earth becomes infected
and with the amount of building,
this contaminated earth is brought
to the surface with the dormant
contagion, is set free and disease is
the result. To one who has not the
thought OF better sanitary condl
tions on his mind, his nature senses
are shocked at every turn, but to
one whose thought and desire is the
health of the people, the condition
is alarming We have been fortunate
in not having our city infected By
smallpox, but there are scourges
quicker and more destructive than
that disease named.
| hope any municipal bonds will
be ratified by the people that will
empower the council to proceed with
the most needed sanitary reform.
And if any disease gains hold here,
we are criminally negligent because
most disease comes from dirt and
It's changes.
| wish every house holder and
land lord, would give his premises
thorough cleaning up not by deodor-
izing but by first removing all dirt
then using. stacked lime, and form
aldehyde.
This good city has such achieve
ment already that such promise for
the future and | know it will re.
spond to duty's plain mandates.

CRACKsMEN GAG WATCHMAN
Then Break Into Safe of Gospel Pub.
fishing Company and Secure Watch

MoUNDsvILLE, w. Va, June a.
Burglars and cracksmen last night
broke into the building OF the Gospel
Trumpet Publishing Company, bound
and gagged the Waterman, opened the
safe and took the money and watches
found in it.
The affair happened at ] O'clock.
AT that time John Merz the aged
Waterman, heard a noise at the win
dow, and at the same time the door
was broken open and three masked
men covered him with revolvers. The
Waterman believes another one was
left outside as sentinel After bind
ing Merz to chair and tying gag
in his mouth the knob of the large
safe was broken off and the combina.
tion worked with wires. All cash had
been taken to the bank late in the
afternoon and only the money 10 he
evening mails aud some money and
watches left for safe keeping by peo-
pie attending the camp meeting wcre
secured by the burglars. The teie-
phone wire was also cut. Soon the
Waterman worked the gag loose, but
fell over backward and lay bound 10
the chair until others came in the
morning.
For some days past suspicious look
ing people have been seen about the
building.
The present time was probably
chosen because the Holiness camp
meeting is in progress, the Gospel
Trumpet people Icing really the head
OF that religious sect, and it is popu-
larry supposed that the people who
come here from many States. Canada
and Mexico, bringlwith them consider
able money. The Trumpet Office is in
the eastern edge OF the city, mile
from the business section.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Tons of Molten Glass Released In Man.
ningt0n Glass Faetory-Plant will
Have to be Shut Down.

MANNINGToN, June "A peculiar
accident occurred at the Mannington
glass works eompany's plant yester-
day afternoon. The melting tank
and the working tank of the estab-
lishment together hold from seventy
TO one hundred tons OF molten glass
and the neck connecting the two
burned through. About fifteen tons
OF the fiery stuff poured through the
hole before the hose could be trained
on it and the glass frozen" thereby
stopping the leak. 1t was only by
prompt and heroic work on the part
of the employees and the city fire de-
partment that one of the chief indus
tries OF Warrington was not totally
destroyed. 1t is now thought that
the damage can be repaired so the
works can resume operations ia few
Gays. Ii it turns out that the pro-
cess of repairing Will take several
weeks, the accident will have the eff
feet OF closing the factory for the
usual summer shut down a month
earlier than usual. A two months
stop was scheduled to begin July first.
While the actual loss by yesterdays
mishap was inconsiderable, unless
the patching up process can be done
at once and the glass making contin-
ued until the end Of the month the
loss Of production will foot up to
something like 500, 900.

CIRCUS TOMORROW.
John Robinson's Big Shows
Will be Here.

Something About the Show and the
People it Carries With 1t The Ag.
gregatiOn Is well Known in Morgan
town-Grandson of John Robinson
in Charge Of it.
Tomorrow is to be show day in
Morgantown. The John Robinson
circus will be here. This is the first
big show to be here for some time and
the last big one to visit the town was
the John Robinson show. The ag-
gregation is well and favorably known
here. The good feeling entertained
by us is reciprocated. The circus
men say that they have not found a
town any where that shows more
tangible evidences of prosperity than
this place. Morgantown looks good
to them. A few facts in connection
with the show may be of interest to
our readers.
The Robinson Show employs 512
people all told; there are 35 heads of
departments, or "bosses' as they are
generally known.
John Robinson the third is general
manager of the entire monster lnsti-
tuition, with 26 assistants on his own
direct business staff.
Twenty four ponies draw the CALI
ope to the delight Of the youngsters.
Two hundred and twenty men are
employed in the working department.
One large cook house with six cooks
and thirty walters attend to the two
dining room tents, one of which is
for the performers and one for work
ing people. The show also carries
its own private restaurant on the
grounds and another in the regular
train club car. Mr.. Robinson and his
family have their own dining tent on
the show grounds and his own dining
car on his section of the show trains.
There are seventy one members of
the Elks with the show, besides many
other orders are represented, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Woodmen, Maccabess,
Knights of Pythias, Eagles, ETC., bnt
the B. 2. O. e. predominates.
One hundred and ten women are
with the Robinson show, including 65
ballet girls necessary for the King
Solomon spectacle.
II has the only 12-centrepole men
agerie in the world. 1t has 300 horses
of all shades and colors, the finest
draught horses that money can buy
and the stud Of racing stock all pos
sess pedigrees Of the highest imported
and domestic rank.
Five detectives accompany the Rob-
inson shows and they know every
crook and thief OF reputation 10
America, consequently these question
able gentry give the show grounds a
wide berth, as they are locked up on
sight.
The large $40, den OF trained
lions in the big side show are fed
every day at 4:30 p. III.
The Robinson show carries letters
OF endorsement from the officials of
every city in the Union regarding its
honest business methods, and the care
and attention paid to ladies and chill
dren attending the big institution,
During the parade at Butler last
week two large Russian wild boars
rooted their cage loose and escaped,
causing great panic among the
crowd. They were pursued, but only
one was recaptured, being caught and
brought back by huge Dane dog, or
hound, belonging to the show. The
boars are great fighters but the dog
held him so tight by the ear that he
could not fight. The other boar is
still at large but they expect to get
him If he is not killed.

MANEUYERING FOR SENATE.

lions.
SIsTERsvILLE, w. Va, June g.
The most interesting play on the
political chessboard, locally, is that
for the Republican nomination for
State Senator in the new Second dis
trict. With Meighen of Moundsville
eliminated from the fight the honors
between Hon. r. L. Gregory of this
city and Carrigan of Benwood in the
county of Marshall, which claims the
nomination by rule OF rotation,
that overlooks the newness of the dis
trict and the absence of precedent.
From the outside the chances seem to
favor Gregory, but it is difficult to
forecast the result of the convention
at New Martinsville next Saturday,
because of the non-committal atti-
tude of the Wetzel delegates, who are
mostly uninstructed and hold the
balance of power
1t is likely that the United States
Senatorial influence will be the decid-
ing factor in the battle. Schmulbach
is behind Carrigan and Tyler county
has instructed for Scott, so the para
mount question is, which of these OPP
posing forces is the stronger In Wet
eel county. Tyler is confident that
its candidate has the call.

county boasts OF volcano, which
first commenced its eruption this at
ternoon, aud is at present throwing
out salt water and limestone.
Francis Roberts, of Franklin town
shin, about four miles from this
place, was walking near the Allison
farm, when he heard roar like dis
tant thunder, and on looking around
saw a huge column OF water shoot
in the air from Ten Mile creek.
About minute later large blocks of
limestone, mud, gravel and rocks
flew in the air and the earth in the
immediate vicinity seemed to tremble
He ran from the spot and informed
several workmen employed by the
Philadelphia Company and they
hurried back TO the scene. Salt wa
ter and limestone were still coming
from huge assure in the creek, the
affected portion of the ground being
about so feet in diameter. Large
blocks of limestone, some weighing
a ton, were tossed about promiscu-
lousy.
It's estimated that the limestone
was thrown up from the earth at
depth OF 25 feet. The whole bed OF
the creek in the vicinity of the dis
tnrbance is seething mass of wa
ter, limestone, mud and rocks. As
yet no person has been able to solve
the mystery. A large quantity of
gas also comes from the opening,
and it is thought this may explain
the mystery
The nearest gas well to the dis
turbed place is 600 feet and the
Philadelphia Company has another
well about | 900 feet distant. An
employee of the Philadelphia Compa-
was talked with, and he said that as
far as known the supply of gas in
the company's wells was asgreat as
ever. He also said the nearest pipe
line from the creek at this place
was $500 feet distant, where two
s inch mains were laid. These lines
were also reported as keeping up
their usual supply, there being no
falling off since the phenomenon be-
gan.
The nearest dwelling house to the
creek is about half a mile distant,
but many people heard of the dis
turbanee and have gone to the scene
The story told by Philadelphia Com
pany employees and Francis Roberts
excited the greatest interest Peo-
pie at this place believe that the in
cident must have been caused by
powerful wave of gas beneath the
earth's surface or from a broken
main in the immediate vicinity, but
the latter cause is denied by the
Philadelphia Company officials

BONDS CARRIED.
Majority for New Issue Obtain
ed on Monday.

Two Precincts go Against it-They are
Greenmont and South MOrgantOwn
Sewers and Paving to be Provided
for out of the Issue.
The city election held Monday for
the purpose OF passing on the propo
sition resulted in majority for the
plan although it was not very large
one. The total vote cast was about
400 The majority was so in excess
of the necessary three.ffths MAORI
ty.
In Greenmont there was great
deal of opposition to the scheme and
the vote stood Ia to 42 for it In
South Morgantown there was one
vote less than a majority in favor of
1t. The other precincts saved the
day.
Council is expected to have no
trouble in placing the bonds as it
has already had number of inqut-
ries in regard to them. Thirty thou
sand dollars was authorized to be
issued.
Half Of this will be expended for
sewerage and the remainder will be
devoted to paying off outstanding
paving orders and in laying new pave
ment
Much OF the opposition to the bonds
came from report that the money
was to be used entirely to build a sew
er to the Peninsula and that other
parts of town were to be neglect
ed. Council stated in the outset that
the money appropriated would be suf-
ficient to extend the sewer system to
all parts of town not now reached by
it.
