GAME WARDENS MUST RETURN
JUICY FEES.

MoRGANTowN, w Va, Sept. 90 -
Ii a ruling made today by Judge
John w. Mason, in the Mononga.
liza county circuit court is upheld
by the Supreme Court of the State,
game wardens will be compelled to
return to the State many thousands
of dollars in fines which they have
been collecting from offenders
against the game statute. The game
wardens are allowed TO retain the
fines as compensation for their ser
vices in hunting up violations. To-
day two hunters from Pennsylvania
were fined six hundred and twenty
five dollars for killing ten quail out
Of season, and the fines werc'.aken
by Deputy Game Warden White As
soon as Judge Mason learned Of il
he issued a rule against White direct
ing him 10 show cause why the fines
should not be turned into the State
Treasury. Judge Mason holds that
our present game law is unconstilu
tional and that all fines collected
must go to the free school fund un
der toe constitution OF the State.
The State Sportsmen's Associa-
ton is preparing TO make fight
against Judge Mason's ruling. The
game wardens have been making a
nice income out Of their business
for several years.

dignity and courtly ability that
brought forth many compliments.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
or KIngwOOd District Has Important
Meeting.

This Board met pursuant to a call
on Friday evening, Sept. 20, all the
members being present. The fol-
lowing business was transacted:
The contract was let for new
school building at townsville, j. V.
Cooke receiving the said contract.
New school districts were estab-
lished at German and Atlantic, and
the following trustees were appoint
ed, viz:
Command. NJ. DeHass, John
WEIGH, Douglas German.
Atlantic-C. w. Sandridge, Jos.
A. Miller, Bert Bickford.
The following teachers were rec
commended: German, Miss Georgia
Shaffer; Atlantic, Miss Edwina
Frantz.
AT request of Prof. Fletcher inter
mediate reader for Kingwood graded
schools was approved.
The Board also approved Of such
other Improvements for country
schools as was necessary.
So far as our information goes we
are satisfied that the additional
schools was a necessity, and the
Wea 5er company did the proper
thing by allowing the Board the use
Of one Of their buildings TO be used
for school purposes, as it was rather
late to build a house this fall, and
as most Of the children at Atlantic
are small, the school should begin as
soon as the house can be fitted
which, we understand, will not re-
quire more than q week.
We are indebted TO DR.. Bone,
member Of the Board for Tunnclton,
for the above information.

THE SALT WATER SPRING.

One of the lucky citizens of Web
ster Springs is Arthur d. Elbon,
who spent several years in King
wood and is remembered by many
of our citizens. He left here several
years ago and went up into the "In-
dependent State of Webster" and
located at the County Capital to
grow up with the country. He
married a sister TO one of the lead
ing lawyers Their. an ex member OF
the State Senate and is doing we'll.
He has been town recorder the past
three years and has acquired con
siderable property. He has hard
ware store, planning mill, several
lots around town and the residence
where he resides and the famous
Barilithic Salt Water Spring which
is as good as a gold mine now and
which was forced upon him or &C
CURED accidently as he was boring
for fresh water and much TO his dis
gust, at the time, got salt woter
The spring is on a piece Of lot
down near the depot which he pur.
chased from G. p. Dorr for $40
and has even refused SI5, 600 for It,.
When the Hon. c. p. Dorr laid off
the Dorr Addition around the depot
one lot was laid aside for the Y of
the Holly River railroad and when
it was built 1t did not take all the
lot but left about one third of il at
the end of the Y and Elbon bought
il for $40 TO build a small house on
for the engineer on the railroad,
who offered him S. per month for
any kind Of house to live in close
to the depot so he could bring his
family there. Elbon is a contractor
and builder and purchased the piece
of lot and built a three room Yam
kee frame house on it and got a
well-boring machine to put down an
artesian we'll on the rear of the lot
to get water for the family to use,
but what was their disgust after 60
ing down about sixty feet to strike
Il fine stream of salt water that they
couldn't use at all for household
and culinary purposes. The we'll
was not used for sometime and con
sideTcd a sort of curiosity till a
fellow came along badly crippled
up with rheumatism and decided to
battle in the the water which he did
and secured relief at once. He
kept it up aud was cured. This
put an idea in Elbons head and he
erected cheap bath house and put
in four tubs and small engine TO
pump and heat the water so as TO
have it any temperature you want it..
He walled up the spring nicely and
erected little pavilion over it and
people have crowded the place all
season to drink the water which is
free and take the baths at IS cents
each. Elbon has been running the
thing himself and with but very lit
tie expense and making $50 per
week all season besides bottling and
shipping the water all over the country
and making a nice thing out of the
shipments. l.. M. Albright and
f. NJ. Williams from Kingwood,
who were up there this summer
tried to buy Elbon out, but he
knows he has a good thing and
hangs on 10 it. He had the water
analysed and here is the result
