Every one agrees that the ink
thrower and tobacco splitter should
be dealt with in such a manner
that he will not want to be guilty
any more of such an abhorrent act
The only trouble with the whole
matter is to catch him. That will
be done in time if people are just as
vigilant as they should be. If be
keeps on he will be caught and then
the tar bucket should be put into

Police Should Watch Them,

Several able bodied beggars have
been Fostering people here lately.
They are internal nuisances and ought
to be given some exercise on the stone
pile. There is absolutely no reason
why man should be out OF work 10
Morgantown and any one who helps
such specimens to remain 10 idleness
Is a party to their criminal laziness.

People who throw all sorts oil
stuff into sewers and expect them to
empty 1t into the river are prepar.
ing all sorts of trouble for the town.
The sewers clog up and the stuff
which should run through them
backs up and gets out into the
ground and saturates it with dis
eases OF every kind. The harvest
Of death is bound to be reaped later.
The utmost care should be exercised
in this respect.

Locks and Dams will be Finished Ia
Fairm0nt Before Snow Files.

One Of tho office force engaged on
the locks and dams above here says
that there is little or no doubt that
tho locks and dams will be finished
this season. All but one of the
structures is two thirds or better on
the way to completion and a full
force is working on the other II

The rises which have been expcr.
fenced this year have held the worh
back somewhat. 1t is not anticipa
ted that this will last during ths
entire season however.

well founded from what ne says.

There has been lots OF talk about
