LUCKY GIRL TO MARRY
Winner of Land Lottery VIII be a
Bride on Wednesday.

LAwToN, OKLA, July 14.-Miss
Matte Beals, who won the great
Oklahoma land lottery claim No. /,
valued at $35, 1000, has been notified
that she can commute-that is, get a
clear title-for $40 an acre. She will
commute at once, as she is TO marry
Charles w. Payne next Wednesday.
She met him last winner at dane
ing school. While learning to dance
together they also learned to love.
He who had once basked in the tele-
phone girls smiles in Wichita was
forgotten. But the law OF "Uncle
Sam" stood in the way, saying,
"Choose which We will have, husband
or farm"
But now she has made final proof,
thereby outwitting "Uncle SAM" and
will have both farm and husband.
The honeymoon of month will be
spent on the Great Lakes. The young
woman has been won by former
Chicago drummer-that is, he was a
drummer, but now he is the manager
of lumber business in the new coun-
try. Mr.. Payne was seen by cores
pendent.
AREN'T you afraid people will say
you married for money!" he was ask
ed
mo-" the young fellow replied. II

Will Sue the Republican Party for
Primary Debt.

A suit that will create great deal
of interest is being prepared by lawyer
d. b. Evans for Burchinal & Laing,
rroprietors of the Herald.
The Claim is for publishing adver-
tisements concerning the recent pri-
maries, including the ballot, list of
election officers, voting places, and
the usual proclamations, all of which
were issued by the republican execu-
tive committee.
The committee paid $50 each to
the Benwood Enterprise, Cameron
Star Tribune and Cameron Banner
but the Herald refused $50 1t may
have been refused because that price
was considered too small even for a
weekly or because with the insertions
in the daily the price would run much
greater. The Benwood Enterprise
also received $S5 for printing the bal
lots voted at the county primary.
1t is settled fact, however, that
the Herald wants the amount of its
bill and will sue as soon as the law
yer decides whether TO sue the COM
mittee as individuals, or as com
mittee, or the entire party or each
individual who voted at the primary.

"Mistakes Of Life Exposed"
Canonsburg Notes.

The opera house was crowded to
itsutmost capacity, all the seats be
ing occupied, and many in the rear
of the house being compelled to
stand. An address was delivered by
Mr.. Seeds, and it was an effort which
greatly pleased the audience and
called forth many outbursts of APP
plause. MIR. Seeds subject was
Mistakes of Life Exposed and to
say that he handled it to the entire
satisfaction of the great audience is
to put it mildly.
Mr.. Seeds said that man ever since
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam went to house
keeping in the garden had been max
ing mistakes, and he was likely to
continue to make them; he had made
a number himself. The lecture was
brimful Of good sense, enlivened with
many bright flashes of wit and hui
NOR. The speaker reclted one oil
two of Whitcomb Rilev's delightful
poems descriptive of farm life, and
did it it very effective manner.

THAT NEW SURVEY
The Opinion General That it is
For the Wabash.
Engineers Still at WOrk-If Ever built
it will Parallel the Coal Lick Branch
Would Tap Fertile Region.
Uniontown Evening Genius.

The mysterious survey that a
corps of strange engineers have been
making through the west end of
town and over the entire county be-
gins slowly to unrayel itself, and it
can be stated with undenlal anthem
tieIty now that the line is proposed
route for the Wabash railroad. 1t
has allied interests with another
railroad traversing Fayette county,
and if the Wabash comes this way
there will be an operating agreement
existing between the two companies.
At least that is the outlook now.
The surveyors purport to hail
from Baltimore. Their work here
will soon be finished, when they ex
pect to go to Pittsburg and report
at the office there for further duties.
For the last several days they have
been going over the route, which
they surveyed before through the
west end of town. This time more
careful measurements are being la
ken and stakes are being driven.
Also much infoi nation is being ask.
ed for from the residents through
whose property the survey runs as
will put the party in full possession
of all information they desire con-
corning the ownership of that GER
tain property.
The survey enters town on the
North side through the property of
Wish Miller, passing in front Of his
residence not great distance. 1t
then runs almost parallel with the
Coal Lick Run branch of the Penn
sylvania railroad through town, but
nearer to North and South Mt. Yer
non avenue than to that railroad.
On North Mt. Vernon particularly
the route is very close to the street,
and should the road be built that
way it would take four or five of the
valuable residences on the east side
of the avenue.
The survey crosses Main street
almost directly at the point where
that street and Fayette street come
together.
1t then continues on southwark
parallel with South Mt Vernon and
Immediately back of the residences
on that street, too close tor comfort
and convenience, in fact should the
building of the railroad reach an
actuality.

Many Perished In Johns

UNDERTAKES WERE GnclDi

Kiondike section--Mine Started Up
With Comparatively Few Men.

Johnstown, Pa, July 15.-There de-
yeloped yesterday situation that
threatens to eliminate in law suits
and damage suits galore. The list OF
dead is in dispute, the identity of the
sictime does not CORES pond and men
have been buried without the consent
of their families.
Greedy desire of undertakers to Sc
cure as many bodies as possible for
burial has caused the mixed condition
of affairs. One undertaken has been
deliberately charged by Coroner E. L.
Miller and Mayor John Pendry with
having stolen bodies.
Owing to the controversy regarding
the number and identity Of the dead,
ard awaiting the recovery of some OF
the surviving victims of the explosion,
the coroner's inquest has been in
definitely postponed. 1t will not be
before Thursday, probably not until
next week.
Although every body taken from
the Iaine was viewed by the coroner
I'll ere is no one in the city of Johns
town or elsewhere who knows the ex-
act number of dead. The coroner
delegated a reporter to keep the list.
This man has Ill dead, which cores
ponds with the list taken by Thomas
Matthews, of the benefit association.
List of Dead incomplete.
When Coroner Miller was asked for
list of the dead it developed that
three bodies positively known to have
been taken from the mine on Satur.
day afternoon were not included. This
would bring the list of dead up to la,
which Coroner Miller admits is right
as nearly as can be told.
Thinks ia is Correct.
Each body taken out means that
$1,000 will have to be paid their near.
est relatives. Naturally there is a
disposition to add no one who has not
positively been proven dead. Yester
day afternoon the coroner's lists and
those kept by others were compared
and the coroner admitted that ia
probably was the correct number, al
though he was not sure that they
might be more or less.
There is no question but that the
exact number will never be known
There is absolutely no way by which
1t can be told.
The checking system at the mine
Goes not show to a certainty how
many men were in the mine.
1t is said the Klondike section was
not fully explored and there may be
more bodies in the mine.
The mine started yesterday morn
ing, with comparatively few mer
working.

ON SUMMIT OF
VALLEY MOUNTAIN
An Impressive and Interesting
Ceremony Will be Held on
Next Thursday.
The Graves of C0nfederates Marked by
Monument Erected Through Efforts
of Number of Wealthy Englishmen.

ELKINs, w. Va, July l5.-One of
the most interesting ceremonies that
ever occurred in this county will be
the unwilling of confederate veter-
ans monument on the the top of Val
ley Mountain, just on this side of the
Pocahontas and Randolph county
line.
During the civil war half dozen
or so of confederates were killed in
the skirmishes there and were buried
in lonely spot on top of the noun
tain far away from any human habi-
tation. The graves have always re
manned unmarked, and would per-
haps be so vet, but for the sympa-
thetic hearts of some wealthy Eng
lishmen who have magnificent homes
about Mingo Flats, and who were
touched by the thought of brave fell
low beings remaining unmarked and
unknowu throughout the ages. This,
through the help of Bishop George
w. Peterkin, prompted them to
cause to be erected a suitable monu
ment to the memory of the dead.
The monument is not an imposing
marble shaft as many might expect,
but is plain slab of native West
Virginia stone nicely engraved and
finished by an old confederate yeter-
an Of Randolph county.
