May be the Means Of Opening up q
New Road In West Virginia.

NOW ASV0u III W Cbg VII Ank0s
The Wheeling Intelligencer says
the high price now asked for Con-
nellsville coke will undoubtedly be
the means OF opening up new coal
fields, and it behooves Wheeling, if
she is to maintain her position in
the iron making world, to keep a
close watch on these developments
and to devise ways and means that
will bring this coke to Wheeling at
the cheapest cost of the transporta-
ton. The most likely development
of coking coal property contiguous
to the Wheeling district are the
fields of Greene and Washington
counties in Pennsylvania, aud in
Monongalia and Preston counties of
West Virginia, where it Is under
stood that coal suitable for coking
can be obtained in large quantities.
The projected Wheeling, Waynes
burg q Uniontown railroad, if con
summated, will give Wheeling
less rate on this coke than the rate
now ruling from Connellsville to
Pittsburg, and with this advantage
and the one she now possesses OF
landing Lake Superior ores in
Wheeling at a less cost than in
Pittsburg it would place Wheeling
in the foremost rank of low cost pro
ducers of high grade iron in this
country.

STAMPING MACHINE
Post Office Business Too Big
for Old Methods.

800 Letters Stamped and Cancelled
per Minute Great Saving In Time
Over Old Aethed-Big Increase in
Post-Omee Business.
A new stamping machine has be en-
installed at the local post-office. 1t
arrived Sunday. The machine is
practically invention having been 10
use only short time. 1t is not yet
patented, though patent is pending
The machine works by hand but is
very easy OF operation aud is very rap
Id. Three hundred letters can be
stamped and cancelled per minute
with ease and the work done better
than it was done the old way. The
stamping and cancelling machine is
said to be more satisfactory in big
Offices than the electric machine, and
does not make SO much noise. At
Uniontown the electric machine was
taken out, and one OF these simple
hand machine installed in its place.
II will work with any size OF envelopes
but the stamp must be placed in the
upper right hand corner. Some freaks
occasionally place the stamp in the
upper left hand corner And Italians
often place the stamp on reverse side
of the letter as seal. This makes
lots of trouble for the post master,
for neither kind can be cancelled on
the machine. 1t works very satisfac-
torily when the letters are properly
stamped and allows great saving Of
time.
BY the old method the letters must
be handled twice. once for stamping
date, aud once for cancelling stamp.
BY the new process, both are done at
one operation, and at the rate of 800
per minute.
The machine stands on the floor at
the height of an ordinary table.
A horizontal wheel 1e inches In d.
ameter is turned by hand, and sys-
TEN Of cog wheels and rubber bands
operate the balance OF the machine
ry.
The business of the local ONCE is
increasing all the time making more
rapid methods imperative. The malls
received yesterday and today were the
heaviest for long time The carriers
are taxed to their utmost capacity.
The receipts at the office this year
will be two thousand or three thous-
and dollars than they were last year.
Chas. Phillips has recovered from
his recent Illness, and is again back
at bis post in the office.

NO Chewing in Court.

Judge Coultrap of Marietta or
Monday issued the following order;
THE use of tobacco in any form
will be prohibited in this room. The
sheriff and his deputies will be di-
rected TO see that this order is moi
violated, and if 1t is, it shall be re-
ported to the court.
at is filthy habit at best, il
may be hardship to some members
of the bar who have formed the hab-
it of chewing, to remain here for
some hours without it, but at the
same time the order must be obser-
we'd. feel that in view of this
beautiful room and it's clearly con-
dition, that it is due to it and to the
court and those of the bar that do
not use tobacco that this order
should be made: it will be condu-
sive to the health and comfort of al,
concerned"

CHEAP wHIsKEY
Not Wanted by MorgantOwn Man Who
Was Solicited hY Mail.

Several business men, preachers,
temperance advocates, prohibitionists
and Others in this part OF the state
have received pressing invitations
from Kentucky whiskey dealer, urg-
ing them to order their drinkings by
express. The first request for orders
not being noticed second list of cir
culars was sent out with stamped en-
velope asking for reply. A local bus
mess man received one OF the stamped
envelopes, and made the following re-
ply.
O"DEAR SIRs; Don't want your goods
Have not tasted whiskey since | took
the Keely cure, so for Gods sake don't
tempt me with your low prices and
cheap whiskey.
Yours Truly.
Now you could prove by this reply
that the gentleman never took the
Keely cure but it will probably stop
the stamped envelope crusad for or
ders.

HONOR ROLL.
Public Schools Make Another
Fine Showing.

Work is Going Nicely In all Depart
ments--New Principal In the High

Expected Big Exhibition Of Paint
ings Coning.
The Public Schools have closed
another months work and the show
ing that is made below will be very
pleasing to every one interested in
the training Of the children of town.
1t is TO be hoped that there will be
no further interruption Of the work
during the present year.
Prof. w. w. Smith has taken
charge of his duties as principal OF
the High School and is doing fine
work. There is to be big exhlbi-
ton of paintings at the building
early in December and the public
OF Morgantown will attend in large
numbers as they seldom II ever get
such an opportunity.
The public schools in Morgantown
and all over the state will vote
Wednesday afternoon on the selec-
ton of State Flower. Among the
flowers suggested, all of which will
probably have adherents are the
rhododendron, wild rose, clover,
honeysuckle, golden rod, apple bios
som, mountain laurel, and daisy.
State Superintendent of schools
Thos. C. Miller has been taking
great interest in the selection of .
state flower, and it is through his
influence that the vote by the pupils
of the public SCHOOLS has been ar
ranged. West Virginia grows SO

Lieutenant Macker Babb, well
known here has written to the Grant
county Press long and interesting
letter in regard to the state of affairs
in the Philippines. He is now To-
Gated On the Island of Guam. He
was gone on trip to Japan, and
spent twenty three days in the coun-
try. Here is what he says in brief
of Japan: "a visit to the country
doesn OF tend to give one the exalted
opinion of it's people that one gets

Of the nation seems to be in the rul-

THE profession of trained nurse is
becoming quite an important one.
Few cases of serious illness are allow
ed to go without nurse. Morgan
town has quite number of skilled
ones who do great deal of good.
Some OF our physicians refuse to take
charge Of cases unless nurse is pro-
vided. The care Of conscientious
nurse is equal to the work of the ply
sician. The nurses as rule are
self-sacrificing gentle class and do
much to relieve the afflicted We
would be verS unfortunate without
them.

AN old gentlemen who recently Wis
tied this Office thought the New Do
MINIoN had rather too much to say
in commentator of Morgantown.
We beg to differ from The gentleman.
That what we are here for. A news
paper that has nothing good to say of
its town and county must be badly
out of tune. We always take pleas
ure In setting forth the advantages Of
the town as place of residence and
also as business town. Another
visitor who was present took up the
subject and assured the other gentle
man that a large part of the growth
and prosperity Of Morgantown was
due to the work of the NEW DoMIN--
ION, that it began its campaign for i'm
provement more than twenty years
ago and had never relaxed its efforts
since We are never happier than
when we can truly say good word
for Morgautown and Monongalia
county.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-03-20

Whenever a new movement. no matter how radical it's departure, the ineVltaple "I. told you so, why was IL never oone before" springs to the lips of certain
 This is the case with the SoutherD Weighing and Inspecting Bureau. which, by the way is undoubtedly the biggest thing for the railroads that has happen ed in years. The modus operandhi .' h.o oI tnts an plained by The Advertiser. In this queer old world there are numbers or people who do not think it any more narm to swindle a railroad company than It IS to pick up an umbrella in a barber shop on 2 rainy night To fit just such cases as this the Weighing Bureau was born about one wear ago. its mission on earth being to put a stop to the sharp practices or certain people. The infant was not long in throwing of its swaddling clothes. and though it is now only little more than wear old, it is a veritable infant prodigy. Like that famous bean stalk or the "a. nous Jack, 1t has grown and expanded until now its influence is making itseif felt in every section of the Southland. That its influence is beneflcent one for the railroads is shown by the fact that here in Montgomery $S9ooO in round num- bers was saved to the local roads in the month of January. This $39.OOO was the result of the underbilling practices of certain shippers. For instance. a car or cars would be shipped to Montgomery, the bill of lading reading as commod- ity on which the tarih was low The in- specIon bureau here would get hold of the car, weigh and examine 1t and make the discovery that It's contents were not as represented on the way bill but in- stead was something on which the freight charges were much higher than had been paid. the weight being correspondingly in- creased. Then the local consignee would be notified that he would have to ante up the difference between the original and
