FIGH ing
WAS GENERAL AT OPERA HOUSE
SALOON FOR A WHILE SAT-
uRDAY NIGHT.

There seems to have been an cpl
demic of fighting throughout the city
Saturday night and Sunday. Perhaps
the worst fighting that ever occurred
in the town happened at the Opera
House bar Saturday night about 10
o'clock
Two we'll known local men
started the fight and then some
friends of both parties fiDlshed
it. 1t is said that twenty men were
fighting at one time. One man had a
section of gas.pipe aud with this he
was doing some tall sIaughtering.
Another man had beer bottle and
he dropped quite few Of the oopcsi-
tion. Tho police were busy at differ
ent points in the city and no arrests
were made at the time, but the
chances are that the whole business
will be aired in police court Tuesday
morning.
Several other fights are reported, but
no arrests were made.

Fourth Ward.

The new Fifth ward school building
is one Of which Fairmont people are
Justly proud. 1t is built Of brick aud
stone and Is finished throughout in
hard wood. There are nine well light
ed school rooms, the principals office
connecting with his school room, o
teachers retiring room, and several
well equipped lavatories. The halls
are unusually spacious, and four wide
stair cases lead from the first foorto
the second. Drinking water is pro.
dded on each floor. A splendid audi
torlum occupies the third floor, which
is reached by two broad stairways. The
auditorium will seat four hundred peo-
Pile, and is equipped with comfortable
opera chairs. The stage Is comno-
dIous and is reached by means Of
stage entrance, Five large dressing
rooms are in the rear Of the stage, all
well lighted. A ticket Office at tie
entrance is convenient feature The
building is plumbed and wired throush'
out for gas and electric lights and
handsome chandeliers will be hung
this week.
One Of the most up.to-date features
Of this building Is the complete beat
ing and ventilating system installed IN
the basement. Five furnaces supply
the heat and twenty.horse power gas
engine propels two immense fans, one J
forcing the warm, fresh air up Through
the pipes and the other draining the
impure air out Of the building. The
basement has cement floors and in the
near future, rainy day play rooms will
be fitted up for the children. It isa
pleasure to so through such a we'll
equipped and thoroughly up-to-dAte
school building and the towpspeople
have a right to be proud Of It. NJ

May Close Factories.


II Is stated by some that unless the
law Is modified and that the union Sc.
cure this amendment some of the fac.
tories will have to close down, as they
will not be able to secure boys as at
present. all Of the factories are short,
and since the visit Of the deputy fac.
tory inspector large numbers Of boys
have been taken from the plants and
the situation is critical. Another i'm.
portant factor Is that to secure men
to do the boys work is too expensive,
and the Ohio factories cannot com.
pete with factories in States where the
child labor law is not so stringent.
The factories in this immediate part
Of the valley may be compelled to close
down as they have been bit very hard,
and can not compete with the western
plants by paying higher wages, and
as In the past 1t has been hard to Sc.
cure boys at any age to keep their fac.
tories going. 1t will be remembered
that a few years ago tho Beaumont
factory of Martins Ferry moved to
Grafton on account Of being unable
to secure boys in the over river town.
What effect the delegates will have
on the Legislature is not known but
a powerful influence will be brought
for The amendment and IT will be de.
cIded this week.

sOLD GLORY" NOW FLOATS OVER
THE MAGNIFICENT NEW FIFTH
WARD SCHOOL BUILDING
SCHOOL. BEGAN
THIS MORNING

A small army OF school children,
marshaled by Superintendent Rosier
and their teachers, marched from the
Fourth ward school building 10 the
new Fifth ward building on Locust
avenue this morning and are now Ii
full possession. Brief exercises were
held at the Fourth ward school at nine
o'clock, and while all realized that the
change is much for the better torsall
concerned, yet the relations Of both.
teachers and pupils, who had been so
closely associated during the past few
months, were SO pleasant as to make
the leayetaklng a matter Of regret.
During the past five school months
over five hundred pupils had been re.
citing at the Fourth ward building. !
Principal Parker and one assistant
taught two rooms at the old Fifth
ward building. Now these 547 pupils
are comfortably housed in the two
commodious buildings.
Mr.. e. F, Parker is the principal Of
the Fifth ward school and has the FOL.
lowing corps of competent assistants:
Sixth grade, Carter L. Faust
Fifth grade, Miss Emma Parks.
Fourth grade, Miss Iyle sRrfyer.
Third grade, Miss Ora Mccuskey
Second grade, Miss Minnie Fleming,
First grade, Miss Susie Humphreys.
The seventh grade will continue
to reclte at the Fourth ward school
during the present term, as this grade
was not at all crowded.
The enrolment by grades in the
Fourth and Fifth wards stands stol-s
lows:

CHILD TABOR
GLASS WORKERS UNION SENDS
REPRESENTATIVES TO HAVE
Law CHANGED.

WHEELING Feb. 5.-The American
Flint Glass Workers Union of East.
ern Ohio and the Ohio valley, will ask
the Ohio legislature to modify the law
regarding the employment of children
under sixteen years of age in glass
factories and will send a delegation to-
day to Columbus to appear before the
legislature and see what can be done
in modifying the present law.
On Saturday and Sunday all the 10,
Gals Of both the A. F. G, W. U. and
the Glass Bottle Blowers Association
held meeting and discussed the situa-
tion, and all elected delegates to go
to Columbus, and passed a resolution
to ask for an amendment to the child
labor laws. They will ask that boys
under the age of 1G be allowed to
work eight hours a day in two shifts
and not be employed after eleven
o'clock at night.
The cause of the action of the 10.
Gals Is on account of the arrests in the
past few weeks Of the head of depart
ments in almost all of the factories in
Eastern Ohio and the valley, and hay.
ing them fined for employing boys un.
der sixteen years Of age. The law is
very strict and provides that all fines
so to the State school fluid. Many Of
the boys support families by their
work, as was shown in the two arrests
in Bridgeport. Then boys often se7
cure work by telling the employer
that hey are past sixteen and parents
have been known to have also stated
this so that their children could be
employed. The law TO eyade misrep.
resentation provides that the child
show the employer certificate from
the superintendent OF the schools stat
ing that he is past 1G. But often the
factories are short of boys and in their
rush to get out their orders they fail
to require this from the child and la,
Ter they have to pay a fine. The 10.
Gals in steubenville held well at.
tended meeting yesterday and will
send a strong and influential delega,
tion 10 Columbus today. Bellalre and
Bridgeport held their meetings satur.
day and will also send delegates. It
is said that every local will be repre-,
sented, and that some OF the national
officers will also be present at the con,
ference with the Legislative commit.

bays and girls have are worth
more than the advantages others
have. Washington was a farmer,
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, and
McKinley were farmers; Roose-
welt was q ranchman in N. ID.
The profits Of many a farm in N.
Dakota last year exceeded the
salaries Of governors and y. Isl.
senators.
Intelligent farming is also popu-
lar and aesthetic now; there never
was such q turning to nature as at
present. Every right minded
man has either bought a farm OF
