.BOOTLEGGERS
GET LIMIT

Morgantown, W. Va, May s.
Owing to the difficulty of success
fully conducting speakeasies here in
the ordinary way, the walking speak
easy or bootleggcr, has been doirg a
land office business for some time.
Prosecuting Attorney Cramer has
been very assiduous in his efforts
to punish violatcrs of the liquor
laws, but until the presnt term Of
court the bootlegger has evaded mis-
vigilance. He has, however, at last
succeeded in rounding them up. The
grand uryj indicted several of these
offenders last week and several con-
victions are sure to follow this
week.
doodle" Reed was placed on
trial for this offensc Monday.
Guilty" was the verdict which came
back from the jury in short order.
The prosecutor called the attention
of the court to the difficulty Of So
curing evidence against this class of
offenders and recommended that he
give Reed the maximum penalty of
the law.
"The only way We can hope to
break this up" said Sir. Cramer, SIS
to give suth Of these men as we d.
catch the most extretne Punishment
that the law will permit"
The maxiinmn penalty is a fine
Of 5000 and six months in Jail.
Judge Mason imposedthc full Jail
sentence upon Reed, buS lei him oil
with the minimum fine Of $25 as ii
seemed to him useless 10 fine the
offender at all.
James jenkins another Of the
,bootlegger class is on trial for the
same offensc. The evidence against
ihim seems very damaging and he
lalso, will probably be assigned sum.

Of shooting and wounding Mrs. Iaucy

burg city Jail. that he served a tcrm
Of six years in the penitentiary for

the breast. He fled and until the
hour of giving himself up roamed
over the hills and slept in the woods
between Monongah and Clarksburg,

Owing to the large attendance ex-

stated times and places. Clarks-
burg is, this week, entertaining two
of these bodies, to-wit: the Knights

form are to be admitted to this re
Iception and the ladies accompany

Iburg Commandery may be accom-
Ipanied by two ladies.

OUTLAW TEAM
FOR WHEELING

The Wheeling Central League
management has become 50 rnpopu-
lar with fans and players that it is.
liable to lose its graft, 50 straight
rumor has it. IT has been known
for some time that when the P. o.
NJ. League opens about half. the
team intends leaving and probably
that accounts for the listless ball be-
ing played now. The fans are all
sore, but at whom they don't exactly
know. The other day a sport writ
er on one Of the big morning dailies
was ordered off the grounds and since
has b2en made to pay his admittancc.
Consequently that paper has been
advocating the outlaw league and
from present indications it will he
a 60.

GAME WAS WON
BY LOCAL TEAM

The game of ball at Union park
Monday between the masculine
members of the Show Girl company
and the local team was one-sided
and not at all interesting. The
locals easily won the game by score
of II to 4. Both teams played list
less, featureless ball. The grounds
were in bad shape and the players
did not exert themselves. Neither
team did any hitting, although
Wagner, Of the Kids, clouted a
couple of beauties that netted him
five bags. The first time up he hit
for thre bases and at his second ap-
pearance he smashed for two, both
clean, solid smashes. For the
theatrical team 'Rube" Robinson,
manager of the opera house, was the
bright particular star.

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-09-07

tawney, Pa, on an improved rail bond
for electric railways. The new bond
is arranged to insure an exceedingly
firm electrical connection between ad-
jacent rails, and in a very simple and
economical manner.
The invention will be clearly COM
pretended by a glance at the accom-
panying engraving, says the Scientific
American. 1t comprises cond uctor
in the form of rod, which is bent to
enter holes in the webs of two ada
cent rails. The ends of the rod are
threaded to receive a pair of nuts,
which enter the holes in the webs
The nuts are formed with frustro-con-
ical ends, and as the nuts are
screwed up on the rod, they not only
draw the rod into close contact with
the webs of the rails, but also wedge
their frustro-conical ends tightly into
the holes in the webs. This insures
an exceedingly good electrical con-
nection between the ad jacent rails. 1t
will be evident that the new rail bond
can be applied to rails as now con-
structed.
