complied with and the building con-
tainS every device and convenience

educator. 1t isa grand structure and

RESIDENCE BuRGLARIzED WHILE THE FAMILY ATTEN1

The residence of Jacob aicclung, sex
ton of the /. o. o. F. cemetery, on
Cemetery street, was entered Wednesday
night by burglar. The family were at
tending church and no one was nj home
70 catch the fellow in the net
Owing to the fact that the burglary
was committed while they were thus en-
gagged. it is believed it happened about
$3.50 o'clock, although it might have been
either earlier or later.
Upon their return home from church
members of the family discovered u rear
window up and noticed that things in
the house We're topsy -turvey. The first
thing they thought of was the roll of
money they had hidden in the bed. They
3 lifted the tick to make the unfortunate
discovery that the money had been taken
by the dastardly thief. The roll con-
tanned $l4e, and Mr.. McClung realized
in a moment that his hard-earned saw
ings had gone glimmering. and that it
is unsafe to leave money concealed
among feathers or mattresses.
The burglar seemed pclf bent, as he

did not take a fancy to anything else,
so far as is learned, the rich haul be-
ing sufficient, NO doubt, to satisfy the
cravings of the thief and his spirit of
getting rick quickly and in the don't
care how manner. Naturally, however,
one would scarcely do other than walk
off after having run across such hand
some pie of Uncle Sans collateral, good
as gold, though it was mostly the long
green.
The identity. of the burglar has not
been disclosed. He left no trace except
foot prints in flower bed near the win
dow, through which he entered. Those
prints show that it was not boy. but
a full grown specimen of the human
race.
1t is believed that the burglar was
some one familiar with the place and
the customs of the family, and a former
boarder, whose name has not been dis
closed. is suspected, but there is no proof
as yet.
The burglary will be thoroughly inves-
tigated. and an effort will be made TIC
ferret it ont and apprehend the burglar.

INJUNCTION
DISMISSED
BY JUDGE JACKSON AGAINST
THOMAS HAGGERTY AND THE
SEVERAL OTHER STRIKE
LEADERS.
Upon the Petition of the Plaintiffs Upon
Grounds That it Had Served the
Purpose and is No Longer
Needed.

a decree has been entered by Judge
Jackson, of the Federal court in Park
ersburg, Diminishing the injunction pro-
ceedings against Thomas Haggerty and
others.
The dismissal was procured on the Pc
tition of the plaintiffs, who said that the
purpose of the injunctions, which were
issued last summer, had been accomplish
ed, and there was no further necessity
of continuing the proceedings.
Haggerty and the Others, who were
made defendants in the suit, are labor
leaders, whose work in the Fairmont coal
fields during the summer of 1902, just be-
fore and during the strike of the min
ers resulted in the issuance of an injunc-
ton by Judge Jackson, We're all arrested
and brought here, and, with the excep-
ton of Mother Jones, were placed in
Jail, where they remained some time.
The injunction inhibited the defendants
from Interfering in any way with the
work Of the miners, and from holding
public meetings for the purpose of Great
ing dissension among the worlSmen.
Attorneys Coniff and dickinson, of
Wheeling. whorepresented the defendants,
made an effort to take the case to the SUI
preme court, so as to have decided about
the jurisdiction of the district courts,
but in that they failed, as the plaintiffs
motion was made ON the grounds that
there was no further use for the contin-
uance of the proceedings, the purpose of
the injunction having been fully and
most satisfactory accomplished, and that
it was not proper for the defendants to
continue under the charges made against
them when conditions were different from
those at present in the coal regions of
the state.

Standard Oil Dealers Anxious to Con

Tue present cotton situation is a
matter of interest in Americus as else

Sully and Price, one the leader of the
bulls and the other of the bear faction,
keeps excitement at high pitch. AS
no one here is sin the game" little is
cared just which side trlumphs.
But back of this struggle of the levi
athans is matter in which the south
is coscerned-the control of the cotton
crops in future.
Behind this and the coming cOnsoli-
dation of various cotton product COM
panies, are Standard OIL men, whose
representatives are backing both sides
of the market, and seeking to carry out
plans which the Standard Oil Company
has had for years under consideration,
that of controlling the cotton crop o
the country through the improved bal
ing process.
Sully, the big cotton bull, is a pro

One Great System in The South Is
Probable.
The resignation of President Spencer
of the Southern Railway, to be made
chairman Of the board of directors Of
the Morgan groupe of railroads, excite s
the keenest interest throughout the
country, in Americas as elsewhere
One familiar wien the railroad affairs
throughout the country thinks it is
but short time before there will be
many changes in the Southern rail
roaCs, and that possibly the talked of
| deal between the Rock Island, the
Frisco system, the Central of Georgia
and Southern may be consummated.
The trend of events, he says, is to-
wards consolidation, the merging OF
proper ties into one vast whole, especl-
ally in the railroad world, and it is like
ly that SO soon as the questions con
corning the legal standing Of the
Northern Security Company have baen
settled in favor of the concern, which
it is more than probable they will be,
a similar merger or consolidation OF
the Southern roads will be made, thus
forming Southern Security Company
Such consolidation wonld probably
inclode every line of any Importance
IN the South, extending as far Yves
and South as to include the roads O.
