WABASH CONTRACTS LET
To the Greea County Line Work TO-

tress- Camps Located.

We are reliably Informed that con.
tracts for the construction of the
West Virginia end of the Greene
county railroad have all been let, says
the Waynesburg Republican. As an
evidence Of this, camps are now be-
Ing located at several different psints
on the llue. One camp Is at Moores-
vile. three miles south Of the Greene
county line, and another at McCurdys-
vile, about ten miles from the line
We understand there Is to be one at
STARTERS between the two places,
these camps all being on Jake's run.
Within few days men will be at
work practically all along the line
from Maoresvillc to Fairmont Be
tween Fairmont and Belington the
work uf construction has been gDing
forward for some time.
We had hoped to be able to
announce the letting Of the contracts
between Wayensburg and Patterson's
Mills this week, but President Ram
sey's visit to Pittsburg for this pur-
rase seems to have been delayed. He
is now In the east. The work of To-
eating the short lire between Wash
ington and Bishop Will be completed
this week.

Changes in Church.

The Presbyterian church is being
thoroughly cleaned and some repairs
are being made. All the seats have
been removed, carpets taken up and
the floor treated TO coat or two OF
oil to give it the right color. The
floor will not be carpeted again be-
tween the pews. The aisles will
have heavy strips to prevent the
noise of foot falls. The floors will
be nicely finished, and it is thought
will be much cleaner and better in
every way than with carpet.
Some other improvements arc also
being made in the way of new coat
of paint Tor outside woodwork and
roof repairs. The church looks very
strange and unfamiliar ON the inside
without the seats and carpet.

CASE DISMISSED
Squire Hayes Finds Mrs. Ford Not
Guilty OF Assault.

Squire Hayes this morning an
nounced his decision in the case of
the State VS.. Mrs. Wesley Ford,
charged with committing assault
and battery upon the person of Mrs.
S. M. McGara. He dismissed the
case.
Squire Hayes says his reason for
his decision was that the alleged as
sault, according to the evidence, was
committed on the lands of the de-
PENDANT, after she had warned Mrs.
McGara to get off.
Still he admits that the case was
difficult to decide. Mrs. Ford ac-
cording to her own evidence, picked
up stick before she left the house
and before Mrs. McGara had been
ordered of. With this stick, she
pushed the prosecuting witness
three tunes, and she fell to the
ground.

REMEDY SHOULD BE APPLIED.
Prof. Miller too Good Man to be
Hampered by Red Tape and Tn
friendly Boards.


Yesterdays Morgantown New
DOMINION states that "Prof. L. c..
Miller is very much dissatisfied with
the way things have been going
since he took charge as state super
intendent of free schools" and that
"his recommendations have not been
followed and he gets the blame at
tached to any failure which may be
recorded and yet hasn't the power
to enforce his Wishes This is,
unhapplly, true state of affairs ex-
listing in the office of state superln-
tendent of free schools, and it is a
state that ought to be in some man
ner remedied. Prof. Miller is one of
the very best and most highly ac-
complished state superintendent
West Virginia has had in years.
His whole life has been spent in ed :
ucational pursuits and in teaching
and we never had better prepared
uperintendent, so well equipped TO
bring about reforms in the school
system of the state. 1t is well
known fact that since his entrance
into office Prof. Miller's great ambi-
tlon has been to improve the free
schools system and to this end he
has labored long and untiringly. To
be hampered and hold back in his
work by little official red tape, and
to be ever harrassed by the wishes
Of some one higher in power, is far
frornspleasant. Prof. Miller has the
ability to greatly improve and yet
minimize every department of the
free school system. and he ought to
be given the authority to act to suit
himself in the matter Of public
schools and their betterment. That
is what he was elected for and what
he is drawing salary for and it is
evident that that is what be most

Hiuh Water Expected.

Kansas City, Aug. .2S.-Heavy rains
north and west of Kansas City have
caused the Kansas and Missouri riv-
ers to rise suddenly to unusual heights
and the results may prove grave. A
bulletin issued by the local weather
burea uannounced that the Kansas
or Kaw river, would rise from five to
seven feet at Kansas City in the next
4S hours, and rise of equal magni-
tude, it is stated, is coming this way
down the Missouri. The fact that the
Missouri Is rising also is causing
anxiety here, as it is believed 1t will
retard the flow of the Kansas river
at the mouth Of the latter stream and
endanger the temporary bridges as
well as the railroad yards and heavy
business interests in the west bot
toms. The current is swift and it car
ries much driftwood. II these bridges
go out it will cripple the traffic of the
big packing houses and other estab-
lishments across the Kansas river
from here and cut off communication
except by boat between the two Kan
sas Citys.
At Manhattan. where the Big Blue
empties into the Kansas, the latter
stream has risen seven feet in the
past "a hours. At that point the Blue
has broken from its banks and 10 cut
ting across the country, taking short
course to the Kansas river. Many
farms are deep under water.

TELEPHONE POLES
Cause Meeting OF City Council in
Special Session.
Problem Comes Up in Connection
With Chestnut street Paying-Com-
panies sinst See Owners and Get
written Consent to Use sidewalks.

ErUDith Tunes Up IN toHnectioh
With Chestnut street Paving Com
panies Mnst See Owners and Get
written Consent TO Use Sidewalks.
A special meeting Of the City
Council was held Thursday evening
to discuss the matter oil erecting
telephone poles on Chestnut street
between Peasants and Foundry
streets.
Both companies have poles there,
and these are now in the way OF
widening the street. The poles
must be moved in order that the
work can be carried along, and the
companies are in quandary to
know where to move them.
According 10 the ordinance, no
poles can be erected or maintained
between the curb stones. Where
there are poles, they must be in the
sidewalks.
In giving the land for widening
Chestnut street, the property owners
made the reservation that no tele-
phone, telegraph or trolley poles
should be built on it. Squire Hayes
was the only man who did not make
such a reservation.
Now that the companies have to
move the poles out OF the street,
they naturally turn to the sidewalks,
but unfortunately there is an iron
bound agreement that keeps them
off OF these. The city council has
nothing to offer them. They must
turn to the property owners.
A resolution was passed last night
stating that the companies might
erect and maintain poles on the
Chestnut street sidewalks, if they
can get the written consent of the
property owners. This the com
panies have set about TO do.
The matter was warmly discussed
last night. Geo. Baker. Mr.. Holland,
representative of the Bell Company
and others made speeches. Mr.
Baker criticised the council for ae-
ceptlng the foot strip with reser-
vations. He thought it should nave
been given outright or not at all.
A representative Of the Peoples
Company said this morning: I'VE
must have that street. High, Spruce
and Front are closed to us, and we
have got to have some way ofgetting

Durand. Mich. Aug. aS.-The coro-
ner's inquest into the death OF the p
victims who were killed in the wreck
~ Wallace Brothers circus train on
the Grand Trunk railroad on Aug
Is concluded. Charles NJ. Propst of
Battle Creek. Mich. engineer of the
second section OF the circus train that
crashed into the rear of the train con-
tanning circus employees and animals,
testified that he did all in his power
to avoid the wreck, although he did
not look at the air gauge in the cab
as he should havs done. Other testi-
nony also showed that the train was
not equipped with available hand
brakes and the brakemen could do
nothing to aid in avoiding the disaster.
The jury rendered verdict that the
% men were killed in a wreck at Du-
rand Aug as the result OF rear-end
collision on the Grand Trunk railroad:
that the wreck was caused by the fail
ure of the air brakes to work on the
second section: that the wreck might
have been avoided If the engineer,
Charles NJ. Propst. had watched the
air gauge before him and also il Wal
lace Brothers had had their cars prop
erly equipped with hand brakes.
