II is estimated that in two DAYS. since

that agents for that corporation are
now engaged in optioning and buy
ing coal lands in Taylor county.

PyRGLARIES ATTEMPTED
But WERE DISCOVERED

An attempt was made last night
% rob No, 323 West Main street,
and the burglars were only frus-
trated BY the wakefuIness Of the oc-
cupants, The attempt was made at
2 $50 am. and it Is thought was the
work Of two men, one Of whom has
figured in police court very frequent
".
No. 1928 West Main street is
Porter's millinery store, the large
front room being used for the exhl-
bition of models, while in the rear
Is the work rooms, and living apart
ments, AT 2:30 a. m. the occupants
Of the upper story heard footsteps
in the kitchen. Mr.. G. P. Stout
was aroused and he started on a tour
of investigation. BY the time he
had arrived upon the scene the
would-be robbers had fed, but left
behind them evidence of their
presence. The windows of the
Kitchen had been raised, and muddy
footprints in the room showed that
the burglars had effected entrance.
Ever since the fire occurred in that
block a ladder, which was used in
fighting the flames, has been in the
back yard. This ladder was placed
against the house and by means Of
il the midnight marauders ascend
ed to the second story. Nothing Of
any value was taken, and the only
thing of consequence connected with
the occurrence was the fright given
the occupants Of the building.
About IL o'clock midnight Mon
day burglars attempted to force an
entrance into the residence Of Miss
Margaret Pugh, who lives at G14
West Pike street. The noise made
by the robbers aroused Miss pugh
and another lady who resides there.
Hastily running to the window, Miss
Pugh fired several shots from re-
yolyer. and succeeded in soaring
away the intruder. This is suppos-
ed to be the work of the same bad
who attempted to rob the building
at 1928 Main street.
Realizing that these robberics and
attempted robberies do occur it
would be wise for householders to
take precautions. so that when they
are selected as the Victims they will
be prepared.

NEW OFFICE
HAS OPENED

An important and useful office has
Just been opened in the Oak Hall
building and will be run in connec-
tion with a Fairmont office. The
Fairmonts West Yirginian says Of it.:
"The legal fraternity and business
men of Clarksburg are TO be con-
graduated upon the opening of a
new office in their midst for general
stenographic work, where all classes
of stenography and typewriting will
be promptly and satisfactorily exc
cuted. The Office will be opened
about the goth of this month and
will be temporarily located in OAK
Hall. Miss jesse Hall will have
charge of this Office and it will be
operated in conjunction with one of
like nature now being conducted in
this city by Miss Annie A. Russell
md Margaret G. Caswall.
"The business which has been
handled by these. two young ladies
in neighboring towns iustifies the es-
tablishmcnt Of a branch office in
ClarkSburg. These offices will be
able to supply good and efficient
stenographers on short notice for
out Of town work.
''The high grade work done by the
office here has won for it the patron
age Of the most exacting and fastidi-
Gus clients, and this alone should be
sufficient recommendation for the
Clarksburg people to patronize an
associate of this office. That Miss
Hall is a stenographer of unusual
ability is evidenced by the fact that
besides being connected with the
Current Issue, a monthly periodical,
She was also secretary to the Texas
Worlds Fair Commission to the St.
Louis Worlds Fair.
I'VE unhcsitatinglv commend the
new enterprise to the people OF

YCST REMAINS
WITH MICHIGAN

Ann Arbor. Mich, Fec. 2O-Yost
will coach the University of Michi-
gan football team next fall. the SEN
ate of the university having decl;n-
ed to ignore the recommendation Of
the recent Western College Con-
ference that professional coaches
not members Of the faculty be- abcl-
ished. The decision was practically
unanimous. The proposal OF the
University Of Chicago that football
be suspended for two years was al.,
defeated, and while it was decided
TO adopt the recommendation re-
garding three years eligibility rule.
the regulation will not be rctract-
i've at Michigan, which will permit
Curtis, Garrcls, Barlow and Schultz
to play another year. These men
have played three years on the team
and would be barred ont bv the rule.
On the question Of abolition OF
the training tables there was a strong
fight, but il was finally decided to do
away with the item. The fact that
Yost's contract has four more.vears
to run was used as an argument for
his retention. The alternative was
to make the trainer a member Of the
faculty, but the senate was not re-
pared to 90 50 far as that.
