WILL REJECT THE
OPERATORS PROPOSITION.
Scarcely Hope That John Mitchell Will Permit
His Men to Accept.

To refer it to the strikers would re-
quire at least two weeks time.
A great many strikers think the
proposition should have been accep-
ted and the miners trust President
Roosevelt to do the best he can I'M
der the conditions laid down by the
coal road presidents. An argument
was made by one miner today that
Mr.. Mitchell could not well afford
to turn down the proposition after
already offering to permit the Presi-
dene to select the members of the
commission. He thought the Pres
ident would appreciate the trust put
in him and see that the miners had
fair play. Others in the same class
thought that much harm could be
done by accepting the proposition,
but that in the end much good will
result.
There is still a third view held by
miners and that is to refuse to ac-
cept the plan offered and make a
counter proposition embodying some
of the suggestions contained IN the
operators offer.

What We Saw Sunday.

On our ramblings through the
country there are . great many
things come to our notice that we
fully intend to make q note of in our
next Issue, but by the time we re-
turn to our office they have all
passed from our mind. Only once
in while we remember one or two
which we have made q memoran-
dunn Of, SO as not to overlook them,
especially when We happen to meet
a crowd Of boys and girls starting
for home in the evening, after spend
ing the day in the country having a
jolly good time, so tired they are
hardly able to travel the distance
home, and by chance meet a couple
of wheelmen of whom they ask to
borrow their wheel to ride home on.
Now we do not know how they all
expected to ride the two wheels, and
the wheelmen could not either. Not
wishing to show partiaiity to any,
they had to decline their services,
though they would have liked very
much to have accommodated the
poor little tired beings.
We Will permit our readers to
make a guess this time as to who the
crowd was, but IL we notice it again
we think we will have to publish the
names. Look out, girls.

FACTS s FICTION ;
THE ANNUAL PARODY.

Mduue MulleF tRenJle rehuer mere
lis the parody that comes each year,
Maude Muller on a summer eve,
Pinned back her skirt and tucked
each sleeve.
She got the hose upon the lawn,
And deftly turned the water on.
She sprinkled gaily upon the grass,
And smiled on those who chanced to
pass.
The Judge came walking down the
street,
And spied Miss Muller trim and neat.
He raised his hat to speak to her;
His heart with love began to stir,
For Maude was young and fair to see;
The Judge was rich as rich could be.
Just when he made his graceful bow,
The water did not twist somehow;
1t did not smite him on the ear;
1t did not fill his soul with fear;
1t did not swat him in the vest,
And knock his garments galley west;
1t did not wash HIM from the spot;
No, gentle reader, it did not.
Instead Maude turned the water off
Just when his hat received the doff.
The Judge mused softly, "Such as
| she
Is the ideal wife for me"
And Maude unused, "I'll change my
name
BY springing this domestic game"
The Judge proposed; the rest you
guess;
Maude Muller lost no time with
YES"
And often now the Judge will dream
OF how the setting suns last CLEAN
Illumined Maude, with the hose,
And how his ardor softly rose.
And Maudie, too, dreams of the eve
When, with tucked skirt and rolled
up sleeve,
She utilized her cunning tact;
And engineered the lawn hose act.
And posed there in the twilight dim,
And with deft science landed him.
OF all true words Of tongue or pen,
The truest are, "They fool the men,"

lea, western portions of Europe

TELLS WHY HE.KILLED BROTHER.
Murderer Douglas Issues a Statement
old mining Tragedy is Recalled.

FAlRM0NT, Aug. 21.-Up in the
mining region surrounding Anderson
the scene OF the double murder of
Saturday night, the excitement among
the foreigners has died down con-
siderably, and those who were leaders
Of the crowd who desired vengeance
on Sunday have now quietly gone
back to work.
From the little home of the Widow
johnson on Kuhn Run yesterday
evening the funeral Of her two sons
took place, and the interment was in
the country cemetery near by. The
miners from all OF the nearby plants
were present and the display Of grief
from them was very noticeable.
Although somewhat wild and reck-
less, both John and Fred johnson
were very popular with all of the
countryside and neither ever let an
opportunity pass to befriend a work
ing mate in trouble.
Murderer Douglas, in company with
his attorney, Hon. U. N. Arnett
was seen at the County Jail yesterday
evening ana signed statement au-
thorized by Mr.. Arnett was given out
to the press. In this statement Doug
lar said that he shot only in the
defense of his son who was being COW
cred by revolver in the hands OF
John Johnson. He also claims that
Fred Johnson had drawn a gun but
this is denied by the witnesses to the
affair.
The implication of Douglas Ia this
murder brings to the minds of the
old miners in this region an attempt
made by him to kill his father in the
GAINESVILLE shaft years ago. The two
worked in the same room and one day
a quarrel arose. Without warning,
Bill Douglas commenced to knock the
props from under the roof and before
his father could escape he was horribly
crushed under falling slate.

leaves us the legacy of a useful life.
We extend TO his family in this
hour OF sadness and bereavement our
sympathy and we will cherish with

WILL PAVE M'LANE.
Contract let for this Street to
Fred Dean.

A Hustler now has Hold of the Werk
Which may be Expected to be Conl-
pleted Soon-More work for Beech
hurst-Sewers TO go Down Before
Very Long.
1t has been determined by the CON-
mittee appointed by city council for
that purpose to pave McLane street,
first ward. The contract has been
given to Fred Dean who will lay
about four thousand yards of paving
over there. This will be done shortly.
All OF the curbing is already set and
when Mr.. Dean starts to do anything
he gets it done in hurry He has
just completed Beechnrst which is
paved from Gilmore's Livery to the
University Another stretch OF paw
ing is to be done on the street and
about six thousand dollars Is TO be put
on 1t. This will run 1t from Front
street to the University line and the
remainder will be applied on the lower
end. Ii is expected that the Legisla-
ture will pave the stretch through the
campus when the matter is presented
TO them next winter at Charleston.
1t is badly needed.
Mr.. Dean is working on the exte
sion OF North Front street and hopes
to get it done this evening. He will
thin jump on to McLane street and
will have 1t done before very long.
The town will do a great deal OF
sewering in addition TO this work.
Thirty car loads of sewer pipe has
been ordered aud is now on the way.
As soon as 1t comes the work OF plac-
ing it will begin and 1t will 90 down
at once.
These improvements except McLane
street are being made out OF the bond
issue recently made. The sewerage
system of the city will be completed
to every part Of 1t and half of the
bond money will be used for that pur-
pose. Morgantown will then have the
best system OF sewers of any town IN
the state and her amount OF paved
streets will compare fayorably with
any Of them of her size.
