THE snow played smash with tele-
phone and electric light wires. Scores
OF them were broken down in town.
THE friends OF f. N. Frum in Nor
gantown trust that be may soon re-
soon cover from the attack Of SIN all
pox with which be has been overt
ken.
THE County Court will get after the
bridge company and make IL pay
dearly for the trouble and inconven-
fence to which IL has put so many OF
our.peopIe.
EVERY thing and everybody 10
Morgantown is going right to the
front. The town is booming as she
never did boom and there is no reason
to think that the end is yet ia sight.
NEW subscribers are being added to
the lists OF this paper every day. The
people want paper that gives them
news and they are commencing the
course OF the New DOMINION on every
side.
IT is only three weeks until Christ
mas. Merchants who have not yet
started their holiday advertisements
will have to hurry or they will not get
their announcements placed before
the public in time.
EXCUSES are no good to people
who have to walk in mud. Any one
can make excuses but they only ag-
gravate the fault. We want that
Falling Run bridge built and built
right away.
TEACHERS from the country dis
tricts of this county may get much
benefit from attending the meeting Of
the Round Table which is to be held
here on Friday and Saturday. All OF
them who can get here should attend.
AND now that contract for the Fall
ing Run bridge is lost. When it was
looked for the other day it could not
be found. Ii will probably have liz
tie or no effect in the competition Of the
bridge as it won't be built for months
to come snyway.
PRoFILEs OF the Wabash system
ir Western Maryland have been
filed and they show that the line
runs alongside the B. and o. for a
distance Of ten miles before crossing
into this state. This IS near Han
cock, Md.
The piece of sidewalk along +. G.
Protzman's property on Peasants St.s
has been re-laid and everyone who
has to use the street is glad to get
out of the mud again. The street
has been torn up on both sides for
long time.
II ia probable that McLane ave-
nue. will be opened from University
driveway to the deep hollow run
ming down from Beverly to Beech
urst.- This street will become one
If the most important in the fourth
ward.
WILL CASEY has been relieved from
the duties connected with the express
Office at the depot on account OF hav-
ing rendered his resignation and
James Carraco has been appointed in
his place. Casey has accepted posi-
tion with Frank Pride.
THERE have been fewer ferrets
used In this county this year than
ever known but there are many rab-
bits which will never get to rejoice at
this fact. The use of ferrets do mora
to destroy rabbits than all other
causes combined.
The town of Buckhannon is pre-
caring for a bug boom. 1t has land
ed a glass factory. Morgantown
has a dozen of these institutions and
is Booming in consequence OF their
coming together with the other in
dustries mhich we have.
In another column will be found
the business card of Kammerer d
Kern who have just formed a part
nership as builders. There is plenty
of room for them as some of our
building firms are unable to handle
all the business that is offered them.
THERE is an ordinance against
obstructing the sidewalks of Nor
pantown. Why isn't that ordinance
enforced? This is as good a time
"a any to have it enforced. Clean
of the obstructions and give US the
streets for the use of the public.
No MATTER what may be the ex
cuses offered by the bridge company
tor not finishing that Falling Run
b ridge on time they should be made
to understand that they Will have
to hurry and that no further con
tracts will be given them in this
county.
SIN. KART OF Point Marion who

Cured.
NEW head for the civil engineer
ing department has been selected ana
he will be here in short time. Ihere
ia no department Of the big school
which h more important than the
engineering department and especial
attention should be paid to it at all
times hy the authorities.
ANOTHER railroad is heading this
way. 1t is branch of the Is. ~ ..
and is coming through from Confiu-
ence and Oakland. 1t will give us
an outlet in another direction and
while not being a line of new road
will be greatly appreciated all the
came.

HERE is a good one frou the San
Frencisco Call: "a new Jersey man
claims to have an educated alliga-
tor ten feet long, who will eat from
