TWO CENTS
FEELING GOOD
Are Contractors Over Compiet-
ton of Locks and Dams.
Lock IA is Completed in one Season
Largest Lot of Concrete put In 1t Of
any Lock ON River-Some Facts
About the Stacking of the River.

Reprinted from the Daily New
DOMINION of Nov. 2.
1t may be the first of the year
before boats are run mp to Fairmont
but the locks and dams will be ready
to lock them through much, sooner
than that. All of the lock gates
have been swung except the lower
gates at lock -.
lt will take but short time to
swing these and the work is now
well under way. At.l3 and Id some
paving remains to be done but this
will not Interfere with opening of
navigation. There is some concret-
ing to be done on the bank also but
this will take but a short time.
The Gillespie Company is feeling
good over the completion of IA.
They started work on this lock and
dam last March and have finished it
in one season 1t contains more
concrete than any other work ON the
river.
Contracts for the locks and dams
between this place and Fairmont
were let first to C. /. Mcdonald who
did some work on lock 10 and then
he fnnked. Later it was turned
over to Kingston and Piel who did
little more aside from putting in
"a Golfer at IL.
New contracts were advertised for
and Baker d Judson received 10 and
IL, L. A. Gillespie Company got IL
and - and w F. Howley received
Ia and Is. Howley fell down on his
part of the contract. As Gillispie's
bid was very close to that Of Howley
they were offered the other locks at
Howley's bid and accepted them.
The contract time was extended
one year after they started It was
originally for two years. The year
of extension expires next June and
each firm has finished vel, within
the time limit.
Headquarters for the work have
been maintained in Morgantown by
both contractors and they have en-
ployed large number of men. The
small number of men seriously injur
ed ON the work in its various places
is very pleasing to the people in
charge.
Lock ten is at Morgantown, lock
Ii at Morgan's Mill, locks II and Ii
are near Little Falls, lock Ia at Ope-
kiska and lock Is at Hoult.

Notice to Gas and water consumers

1t is the custom of all Gas and
Water Companies to have signed
contract or application from the
Consumer This custom has been
neglected in the past by this Com
panv, but the business has grown
so fast that it is an absolute neces-
sity to have some sort of a record
of the patrons of the Company.
Therefore, during the month of No
vember, an inspection of the houses
will be made and an application
will be presented by an agent of the
Company for the signature Of each
consumer
These applications are the same
as are in use by nearly all other Gas
and Water Companies and containiy
nothing that is contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Company now
in force and printed on the back of
each Gas and Water receipt. 1t
merely emphasizes the fact that the
Company will not be liable for ac-
cidents, due to irregular pressure,
which, owing to the great consump
ton and lessening field pressure
makes it impossible to entirely pre-
vent.
The Company will use every en-
deavor to regulate the pressure but
consumers must take their owIf risks
of accidents, and be especially watch
full There is absolutely no change
in this respect, from what is the rule
everywhere.
Durirgthe month Of November
an opportunity will be given to con
sumers to sign the printed form and
in every case where the party refuses
or neglects to sign the same by No
vember 30th Gas and Water will
positively be turned off on Decem-
Der 1st. 1903.

BURNED BY GAS EXPLOSION.
Marvellous Escape from Mysterious
Fire.

PoINT MARION, Nov. 24.--James
Ridgeway is lying il his room at the
nome of his sister, Mrs. A. S. Maple
here suffering from terrible burn
on his hands and head, face and
neck from an explosion of gas while
at work Friday afternoon at the Ma
pie gas well at mouth of Dunkard.
The-workmen had just made con-
nection with the well and pipe line
to this place when an ell on the line
broke under the enormous pressure,
followed by an explosion of the gas,
burning Mr. Ridgeway as stated.
What caused the explosion is mys-
terry as no fire was about the place
and how Ridgeway or any one es-
capped with life is a wonder, as his
clothes were all ON fire and almost
burned from his body. He is now
able to see and can talk well and ex-
poets to be about In few DAYS.

A WARNING
To the People of Morgantown.
huch Sickness Predicted this Fall,
Early Precautions ShouId Taken.


| "Olr seasons nowadays seem TO be
all mixed up" remarked NEW Do
MINIoN reporter the other day to Mr.
w. A. Ream, our well known drug
gist, The winter seems to have
tumbled into summer aud summer
into winter. 1t is stated by health
authorities that such sudden changes
cannot help but result Ia early fall
colds, the grippe and other sickness
This condition of things is also bad
for old people, or those who have
| tendency to any weakness or disease. .
'fYou are right said Mr.. Ream,
'sthe weather indications all point to
cold, wet and generally unhealthy
fall, and people are warned TO lake
extra precautions to ward of sickness,
especially the old, and those who are
already in delicate health
sIf | could only meet every person in
this town face to face and tell them
what grand protection to health
Vinol is. / know could convince
them so | would not have clerks
enough in my store to ill their orders
You see, we have been selling Vinol
for several years, and every bottle is
sold on positive guarantee that IL it
does not do as we say, we will pay
back the money, and as we have not
been asked 10 refund for more than
two bottles out of every hundred sold,
this proves that Vinol is successful in
ninety eight cases out of--every hun
dred.
1--WE never sold medicine that is so
universally successful; and yet this is
not strange, for Viuol is the only
preparation Of cod liver oil which
does not contain oil, or any disagree
able feature, yet does contain every
one of the fifty odd medical curatives
that are found in cod liver oil.
If yeu know Of any one who needs
the grandest, surest, most pleasant
tonic rebuiider of strength, one that
will positively cure chronic colds,
couges, bronchitis, strengthen the
old build up the weak and run down
and make rich, red blood, and health
in place of pallor aud weakness, just
send them in here fora bottle Of Vinol,
and If it does not do them good it
won't cost them cent. w A. Ream,
Druggist
As this invitation is broad and the
guarantee protects every person in
Morgantown, we should advise every
ailing person to accept Mr.. Ream's
offer. Editor

Morgantown.
Banks and Stores will Close Little
Business of ANY Kind Onion Service
Will be Held-No Public Amusement
Except Harris Club Shoot.

Except Harris Club Shoot.
Tomorrow is the day set apart by
the government and annually appoint
ed by the President and the governors
of the different states for national
Thanksgiving. It has become more
generally and possibly mUre enthusi-
astically observed than Independence
Day, and is almost as firmly fixed in
the calendar OF holidays as Christmas.
The story OF its origin is familiar to
every school-bey and its traditions are
thoroughly established.
Morgantown will have a genuine
observance of the day. As usual, all
the banks will be closed. The mer-
chants who are members of the asso-
citation will close their stores, and
there will be very little business of
any kind.
A union Thanksgiving service will
be held at the Presbyterin church. DR..
M. f. Compton will preach tie SER
mon, and ministers Of the other
churches will participate. The audi
forum of the church will be thrown
open, and there will be ample room
to accommodate all who desire to
attend the service. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to the public to at
tend, and there should be an immense
audience present. Very excellent
music will be furnished.
Few amusemeDts of a public nature
will De offered. There is no football
game. The all-day shoot at the
grounds of the S. A. Harris Gun Club
will be the only thing of this nature
available. This will be a very enjoy
able affair and is open to all who de-
sire TO participate
No one should lose sight of the
real meaning of Thanksgiving Day,
everybody should enter heartily into
the observance of IT.
