ROCKEFELLER ENDOWMENT
Seeured-Oyer S21, 900 Raised t.
Meet The Rockefeller Gift.

CLARKsBURG, July T. The John
D. Rockefeller endowment fund for
Broaddus Institute has been raised.
The time for raising it expired Mon
day and there was good deal of
hustlng done by DR.. Swartz and Rev.
Holden as the day opened with about
thousand dollars to raise or at least
they thought there was that amount
lacking, but they had not heard from
the various churches throughout the
state, which took up collections Sun
day. Mails brought pledges and local
people contributed. When they flgur-
ed up the amounts they found that
they had $21, 900 in round numbers,
which was sufficient to cover the re-
quired $50, 900 and the expenses in
Cured in obtaining the total amount.
Clarksburg and Harrison county did
nobly, as over So, 900 was raised in
this city and county.
The Institute authorities immedi-
ately communicated with Mr.. Rookie
Teller, informing him of the result of
the canvass, This endowment means
much for Broaddus as it will be a
nucleus for future endowments, prob
ably more from Mr.. Rockefeller, as it
has been his custom to reward such
heroic efforts along this line.

A Wise Merchant.

A merchant over at Rolla states
that his advertising last year cost
him 45 cents for every 800 worth of
goods sold. He uses half page for
his business announcements each
week and says that as long as the
people read newspapers he will adj
vertise. There's a man possessed
of a good head. Just as soon as
merchants begin to look upon adj
vertising as branch as their bust
ness which requires as much care as
any other part of it, then will adver.
Using commence to pay. Honesty,
force, originality and persistency in
advertising make it paying ven
ture.

LAKE ERIE EXTENSION.
The Lower ConneIlsyille Branch Will
Soon be Completed.

The Pittsburg & Lake Erie rail-
roads extension FROM Fayette City to
Brownsville and from near that point
into the Lower Connellsyille region is
nearing completion. Contracts will
soon he let by The Lake Erie for the
trackage on this grading. The COM
pany has bought two squares OF prop
erty from the borough OF Brownsville
in order to- secure right OF way
through the town. Property has been
bought by the road at a cost OF from
$50, 900 to SIS, 600 to further the pro-
ject through that place. An extern
sive retaining wall will have to be
built in addition to the other work
of extension. The old John Snowden
rolling mill.property inBrownsyille has
been fought 10 secure an outlet to
Water street in line of the street that
will be occupied by the line. This
was one of the oldest iron works in
the country, gGnboats being made
there during the Civil War. In or
der to get on through TO the Virginia
line they have purchased the S. S.
Graham property in Brownsville, also
the Pittsburg, Brownsville, Geneva &
Morgantown landing, which was for
merly the head Of navigation on the
Monongahela river, long before there
were railroads in Pittsburg.
From this point the line will be a
joint extension of the Lake Erie and
the Pennsylvania railroad to Browns
run, where connection will be made
with the Leckrone branch of the Penn
sylvania railroad. The proposed joint
track is about 80 miles long. The
opening of this branch will greatly IA
cilltate coke shipments from the
Lower Connellsville region. All of
them now haYe to be brought as far
as Uniontown when shipment is west
and taken from there over the Pitts
burg, Virginia & Charleston or else
brought around by way of Connells-
vile and Greensburg over the Pennsyl-
yania railroad. Leckrone and the lit
tie works at Smithfleld and Cheat
Haven are the only plants in the
Lower Connellsville district reached
by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.

THE SPECTATORS
WAIT ON POLITICS
Legitimate Business, How
ever, is Undisiurbed.
COAL IN Bitter SUPPLY
Activity in Manufacturing Restored, Complaints
are lt creasing of the Tardy Movement
of Freight. Lower Temperatures
Stimulate Retail Trade.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York. Oct. Sir. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review tomorrow will say:
Speculation waits upon politics., but
legitimate business is not disturbed by
the approaching election. New labor
controversies have been promptly settled
by advancing wages, and the gradual i'm
provemcnt in supply OF coal has reduced
prices and restored activity in manufac-
turing. Complaints are increasing as to
the tardy movement of freight, miles Of
ears being stalled by the lack Of motive
power, and many roads refuse to accept
further shipments until the blockades
are relieved. Lower temperature has
stimulated retail sales Of seasonable
merchandise, but frost comes too late
to seriously injure agricultural products.
Liberal consumption sustains quotations
in most lines, domestic demands being
supplemented by large exports. Operat-
ing expenses of the railways have in
creased in man cases TO such q degree
that net earnings are somewhat c%urtail-
ed, but gross earnings for October thus
far exceed last years by IL per cent,
and those of 1900 by 1873 per cent.
Undue significance is attached to the
announcement that the Frick Company
will not advance next years price for
coke above SO. Although this is in line
with other conservative efforts of lead
ing interests to prevent inflated prices,
the probable influence on the outside
market will not be great, as the bulk
of output will go to the various plants
of the United States Steel corporation
Meanwhile sales are now being made al
Sc in extreme cases, and the scarcity has
closed more blast furnaces. Conditions
at the cotton mills are healthy. q
scarcity of goods being general, while
there is no disposition to force %transac-
tions. Failures for the week numbered
233, against 191 last year
