THE MAJOR KEENER
Matter Settled at Fifty Cents on
the Dollar.

Agreement Reached Monday and the
Money Paid oyer-Attorneys john
son, of UniontoWn, Morley Of King
wood. and Cox L. Baker of this Place
Adjust all the Claims but one-The
End of Famous Case.
All the claims held hereabout
against Major j. L. Keener, the de-
faulting cattle dealer, except one were
settled Monday at fifty cents on the
dollar and the money paid over by At
torney w. J. Johnson of Uniontown.
The one not adjusted was that of
Garrison Mcclure who is in the East
but it is not thought there will be any
difficulty in arranging with him upon
his return.
The end OF the matter will be re-
lief to the Major, to the family con-
nections and the creditors.
The case has been noted one and
it is unnecessary TO repeat the history
of it now. Our readers are familiar
with the story Of his disappearance
which was chronicled first in the NEW
DOMINION September 18th, 1898.
From that time for about three
years no one seemed to know the Ma
io.'s whereabouts. He seemed to
have disappeared as completely as If
the earth had swallowed him. He
located liz st. Louis and was doing
business for some time until brought
to Uniontown some weeks ago.
His case was put into the hands OF w.
]. Johnson neof the leading attorneys
of that place who at once held confer
ences with Cox & Baker of this place
and communicated with all the credi-
tors. 1t is due to his skill in manag-
ing the knotty case that so happy a
conclusion was reached. Mr.. john
son and j. L. Cans came here Monday
and with Cox &Baker arranged with all
the creditors Mr.. johnson giving checks
for one half the face of each claim amp
executing the Majors note to each
one for the remainder. The notes III
cluded the interest on the amounts
fer the past four years. While the
creditors would have preferred all that
was due there were no complaints aud
all went away relieved that the affair
was settled.
Quite number of them spoke
kindly of the Major and remarked
that he was young man yet, being
SO, and that he had probably 30 ysars
of activity ahead o. him and could
begin over and redeem himself.
1t is to be hoped that he will do SO.

sion Pays Morgant0Wn Visit.
Kellar was at the Opera House last
night. The performance was his first
appearance in Morgantown and it
marked the formal opening of the
house for the season. The audience
present was one of the largest that
has crowded into the house since it
was first established.
The entertainment was thoroughly
enjoyed. 1t would have been nicer If
Kellar had gone ahead with his bust
ness and not taken occasion to do so
much kicking. This feature detract-
ed very much from the evening and
was generally commented upon by
those present.
Many of the illusions worked were
old ones familiar to all sleight Of hand
performers but the greater part of the
evenings entertainment was new and
the tricks battle solution.
They were startling in their origi-
nallty. The change of woman from
one cage to another, her disappearance
from her hiding place and appearance
in the audience, her change into a
man, and other marvels performed
were wonderful.
Kellar is the greatest in his line Of
work in the world and his coming was
an event for Morgantown showgoers.
Manager Swisher is to spare no pains
to give his patrons the best attractions
possible TO procure. The array of tai
ent that will be presented during the
coming season is a very fine one.
Fairly good order was kept in the
gallery. The ushers have been given
police power to maintain order and TO
remove or arrest offenders in this di
rection.
Taking it all in all the opening of
the house was a success and it gave
pleasure to everyone except one of the
postmen who said that he was diSap-
pointed as there wasn't coon song or
dance in the whole thing.

Lost His Breath in the Descent and
Was Injured by not Striking Square

AS per announcement, Guy Skunk
jumped from the top span of the
Belle Vernon bridge to the river be-
low, distance of about 125 feet, says
the Belle Vernon Enterprise. During
the fall he lost his breath and conse-
quently his balance. AS a result he
did not strike the water fairly with
his feet, but struck on bis side.
The leap was witnessed by a good
sized crowd. Skunk sat on the highest
point of the bridge for some time be-
fore jumping. When he struck the
water his side and back were injured
and he did not swim to shore as ne
had wagered. On the contrary, he had
to be helped home, where it was
necessary to call a doctor. He was
about the following day, however.
Skunk is young glassworker and
has made number of high dives. lie
has received offers to come to other
places and make big jumps.

LOT SALE TALK.
Why Lot Sale is Better Than to Buy
at Private Sale.

The question sometimes arises why
buy lots at lot sale?
There are many reasons. First at
lot sale you can buy at your own price.
The property has not been priced by
the owner at fancy price at which
you must buy it or not get 1t. At a
lot sale you and your neighbors make
the prices. II he bids more than you
think the lot is worth you let him
have it. 1t sells large number OF
lots in the same territory and concen-
trates the attention Of the people to
that particular addition and 1t is hu-
man nature for people TO want what
their neighbors have or some
thing like it.
II all the lots be sold the purchasers
will naturally hold their lots at price
that will make them a nice profit on
their investment, il all the lots are not
sold then the company or managers
will price the remainder Of tneir lots so
as to insure profit, SO it is impossible
to lose money.
When you buy from dealer he sells
you lots right along side of many
others usually that he holds at the
same price and you stand no show for a
profit until be has unloaded great
bunch of them, and even then the
advance is very small.
An admirable feature about Sabraten
lots is that they will ABSOLUTELY be re-
quired to accommodate the laboring
men who will be engaged in the large
manufactures right by them.
Then they are situated 10 such a
beautiful valley with the most pictur-
esque settings imaginable. They
would make suitable location for the
residences of the most fastidious.
