outlook for an early collapse of the

The situation is distinctly more
menacing.
The strike committee is manifest
ly encouraged by an extension of the
strike in st. Petersburg.
Various organizations, including
bank clerks, telephone girls and
some professional leagues have vot-
ed to join the movement. More
over it is certain the workmen's
council have received mysterious
supply funds and consequently they
present holder front.

A mutiny in Manchuria is the lat

is reported, have been<shot for par
ticipation in the conspiracy. No
confirmation of the rumor is OBJ
tainable from the officials of the war

BANK
STATEMENT

1t affords the Telegram very
great pleasure to direct attention to
another big bank statement. 1t is
that of the Merchants National, to
be found in another column of this

to a stupendous sum, and the depos-
its are Of such great magnitude that
they are convincing of the fact that
the Merchants has an extensive, pay
ing and substantial patronage. Like
the other financial institutions of
the city it is enjoying liberal share
of the wealth growth of Clarksburg.
and will continue to do so, as it is a
pleasant, safe place to do business.
The Merchants has capable set of
officials and they are attentive to
business, serving the patrons of the

manner.

new SALOON FOR
THE WEST END

A rumor, that will not be downed.
IS current in the West End of the
city to the effect that certain brick
building. situated on Pike street,
not far from the Elk Greek bridge.
is shortly to lie leased to a party who
will engage in the saloon business.
The building is at present used as a
dwelling. The person to whom it is
to be leased has been associated With
the liquor trade for a number OF
wears, and it is certain, should he
obtain possession, that a saloon will
be the first business started, using
the upstairs portion for a hotel.
So persistent has this rumor be-
come and so widely has it been cir
culated, that Thursday the ladies re-
siding in that neighborhood held an
informal indignation meeting at the
home of one influential married lady
They discussed the situation from
all sides, and should the rumor be-
come an actually, they intend to
make n vigorous protest to the prop
.er authorities.
y The party intending to lease could
not, however, get a liquor license
until next May. owing to the recent
action of the city council, but as il
wouldyfaIle some time to dispose:
the present occupants and to remod'
Iei the building, that would give the
future renter plenty of time to trans,
fer a license if refused one by tho
council.
This state of affairs is being anx.
iously watched by the residents OF
the West End, and the outcome o.
the rumor is eagerly awaited.
