MAYOR MEANS BUSINESS
FairmOnt Cleanup Proclamation Must
be Obeyed or some one Will Find
Trouble.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, May 6.-Are
Fairmont people going to defy the
Mayors cleanup" proclamation?
This is question that is being asked
by many and is answered in all cases:
If they do they will surely get into
trouble. The proclamation which
was issued several days ago by Mayor
A. L. Lehman specified certain time
for all lots and houses inside of the
borough to be thoroughly cleaned, and
If this was not done heavy fine
would be imposed. Many of the wide
awake residents, seeing the advantag-
es of the move, promptly put their
places in sanitary condition, while
others, not wishing to be bossed, even
by the head city official, have so far
refused. Mayor Lehman says the
time is nearly up and some heavy fines
will be imposed
City Council held another special
meeting last night and one of the i'm
portant transactions was the starting
Of move for city building. The
Fire Committee decided that the
present quarters were entirely too
small, besides being badly located.
At it is the runs to fires must be made
up grade to every place in the city,
with the exception OF the First ward.
Owing to the eight and ten-story
buildings being erected, hook and
latter company is absolutely necessary
and it will be impossible to put one
in the small buildings now in use.
A lot on Monroe street is being con-
sidered and if the measure passes for
new building it will likely be erect
ed on this site. Councilman E. G.
Scott, who has been strong support
er of the project, says the building,
if erected will be a magnificent struc-
ture an thoroughly equipped.

Varsity Team Plays fine Ball.

Special to the New Dominion.
New YORK. May 5.-Monday after
noon the Varsity met with defeat at
the hands of Manhattan. The score
was three to two. w. V. q. had it
won until the ninth inning when
Manhattan robbed them of the game.
The treatment was so rotten that
Manager DowneY determined not to
play them any more and cancelled the
game that had been scheduled for
May %.
Today the team will play Wesleyan
at Middletown. On Wednesday then
meet Yale and if they play up to the
standard of Mondays game they will
beat Yale.
Some idea OF the strength of the
Manhattan team may be gained from
the fact that they have played "a
games and have only lost one. They
have defeated Yale and New York
League teams.

1t is to be regretted in many par

HURT ON TIE RAIL.
Little Boy Knocked From Hand Car
and Badly Bruised.

This morning about I o'clock a gang
of men were coming down the M. &
X. on a hand car and when nearly
opposite Col. McDermott's residence
suddenly met the locomotive going up.
There was a very promiscous scatter
ment of men and dinner buckets and
the hand car was broken. The men
jumped and all escaped except Emory

knocked off the car and badly bruised.
Gill Murphy carried him to the Harti-

WABASH COMING.
Morgantown to Have Another
Trunk Line.
Purchase OF Western Maryland is the
Only thing In the Way-Eyery Ar
rangement made Looking Toward
the Construction OF the New System
M. and x. to be Part of it.

The future of Morgantown is as
sured, for today it was given out by
a prominent West Virginian that
the Wabash railroad will pass
through this city and the work of
construction will begin in the conrse
of few weeks. Very shortly in
Baltimore, the holdings of that city
in the Western Maryland railroad
are expected to be voted by the
council to the Fuller syndicate,
corporation representing the Wa
bash and West Virginia Central
railroads.
From the plans known to the pub
lie, the Wabash will have two
branches through the state of West
Virginia. One will extend from the
town of Belington to Tunnelton,
then to Kingwood and over the West
Virginia Northern and the "Black
Bottle to this city.
Permission has already been Civ
en- by Congress to the Central Rail
road of West Virginia to build a
bridge across the Monongahela riy-
er at this place and another road
will be built from this city to some
point in Pennsylvania and connect
with the Wabash there.
This means much for the city of
Morgantown and to this county and
much of this success is due Hon.
George G. Sturgiss, who has inter
ested the Wabash people in the
bright future of this section of the
state. With two trunk lines run
ming through the city and county,
freight rates will be adjusted and
factories will come here where at
this time the owners would not even
consider the city for moment.
With the river navigable to Fair
mont, the city of Morgantown will
become a commercial center to this
end of the state. Wholesale houses
will be started and MANY industries
will be located here One large steel
mill, employing more than a thou
sand men, has already promised to
come in the event OF the Wabash
entering the city. Others are al
ready in correspondence with local
people for sites.
While the road is being built, let
the citizens get together and organ
ize board of trade and see to il
that a large number of new indus
tries are secured at once. Such a
board should be organized and The
city made the best outside of Wheel
ing and Parkersbarg IN the whole
state. Hail to the advent OF thu

An lnrenioua Benrtrap.

The Mexicans In California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent Of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From limb five or six feet above
a rope was suspended. to the end of
which large stone was made fast 80
that it hung about six inches above and
on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar, he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait In doing
30 he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger Of the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep of his paw which would send
it swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang! and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below. where, disabled by his fall, he
would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him.

The Disadvantases Of Heroism.

It would be a good thing If in our
public school courses in heroism to
teach the boys and girls that. after all,
while heroism is a fine thing and a
great thing, it is a most uncomfortable
thing and that possibly, on the whole.
the best and most lasting work that is
accomplished in life comes from a
steady application Of all ones best en-
ergies to noble purpose, meeting with
honest and patient effort the emergen-
cies and vexations of daily life and
holding true to the middle course,
which assures success without bring
ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do
well that which one has to do will in
the end bring laurels of more perma-
nent value to the world at large and to
the unheralded hand that achieves its
purpose than those which are even
worthily bestowed upon the brow of
him who avails himself of an unusual
chance in an abnormal fashion.-Har-
