Special Correspondence of The Argus
J. w. Young is preparing to move his
family here from Terra Alta.
MIS- J. NJ. Crane is preparing to build n
tine house on her 10, in South Park.
Kew. Wilson of Pa, preached all able
sermon at the Lutheran Church Sunday.
rhe'e are revival services in progress at

This weather continues to be fine and we
see the farmers commencing their spring
work
There has been quite number of society
events the past week given in honor of the
military ball visitors
Mrs Ida Fleming, wife Of Julian F. -.
Fleming President of The Dominion Publish
ing Co, died February 22nd of typhoid
fever after an illuess of about three weeks.
The Morgantown Fire Department have
disposed of their horses as they have become
very sot in their ways and when they don't
want 10 60 they wont GO. The city council
is discussing the subject of getting at auto
mobile fire wagon.
Th-re was another speakeasy raided here
February 2Isl, by Prosecuting Attorney
Cramer, we think was the last one in town
which was conducted by an Italian. They
found several barrels of hard cider and
SON blackberry wine.
We think the explosion at the sand plant
on The NJ & X. ought to be warning to
people handling dana.niie so carelessly,
while accidents of that kind sometimes seem
unavoidable, yet in nine cases out of every
ten they are caused through the carelessness
Of some one.
There will be a good roads convention
here February IS, and there will be speak
ers here Of national reputation. The good
roads movement is step in the right direc-
ton as the wealth Of the country, or a por-
ton Of B., hos 70 pass over the county roads
TO get on the market We are aware that
there will no, be as much enthusiasm and
capital displayed at this Convention as there
was az rbe WheIssll Settlement Board Of
Trade meeting. But it will be because there
IS no "Coi Jim" Stonebraker for a leader, as
be is quite an enthusiast and an old friend
Of ours We think probably we might induce
him Co come TO Morgan,owu and aid the
good roads movement.

is not from any religious or marital trouble,
but all on account of public document,

our genial postmaster to contain pension
vouchers. But alas, when the glad hearted
recipient returned to his humble home with
a happy and contenied smile upon his counte-
nance and gently broke the glad news to his
tender and loving partner for life, that at
last, thank God, his services in defense Of
his country had been appreciated by the

E SqVED UIY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means Of remedying inn
proper and weak develop
ment restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action Of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more Of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
Do does through nourish-
ment- the kind of nourish-
mcnt that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

TRAIN HELD UP.
Imperial Limited Mail Car Robbed
Near Turrey, B. C.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 10.-The
Imperial Limited train was held up at a
small station called Furrer, between
Kamloops and Ducks, on the main line
of the Canadian Pacific railway, $50
miles from here, early in the morning.
The robbers compelled the engineer
to ~uncouple the mail car from the rest
Of the train and haul 1t a mile away,
where they rifed it of the registered
letters.
They were under the impression that
the express packages were in the mail
car, but they found that the express
was in another car. They had not
nerve enough to go back for it and slip
ped away into the hills.
Special officers have been sent from
Vancouver to pursue the robbers. The
bandits made no attempt to interfere
with the passengers.

CONTRADICT MITCHELL.
Operators Say There Is No Inten-

NEW YORk
cite coal operators
following

following statement:
"In addressing the convention at
Scranton President Mitchell is report
summer / made Il tour through this re-
gion. l urged the mine workers to
come back into the organization. AT
that time there were only $4,000 menu
bers. At the close of that tour there
were $4,000 members in the %organiza-
ton. Had that tour not been made
there would have been Il reduction in
wages, according to reliable informa-
ton that / have in my possession. My
information is that the railroads We're
ready to increase the working day
from nine to ten hours, to require the
engineers to work s.'en days in the
week and to require firemen to work
twelve hours instead of eight. If this
is true, then we have won Il victory
st is important that there should be
no misunderstanding on this point.
The fact is that one of the operators
had the slightest intention of reducing
wages or of increasing the length of
the working day. On the contrary, if
the men had been left at work and if
the agitation of which Mr.. Mitchell so
proudly boasts had not taken place the
men would not have been idle for six
weeks, much lawlessness would not
have occurred and the public would
not have been disturbed by this Who'll
ly unnecessary controversy"
