Negligence of Miners.


John Nugent. president of the
United Mine Workers of America for
West Virginia, after an invesdga-
Hon OF the recent horror at the
Whipple mine, when fourteen lives
were lost, charges the terrible dis
aster up to the negligence of two
miners.
Mr.. Nugent entered the mine and
after making a thorough inyestiga-
ton made his report to the commit
tee that the explosion was due to the
criminal negligence of two miners
working in the head of the entry
where the explosion occurred in firing
shot from the solid. 1t seems
that these two miners who were
working in the entry and by their
negligence caused the explosion were
day men, that is experienced miners
who knew hod to drive" an entry
and instead of being paid by yardage
and fo.' the coal they sent from the
entry, were paid the same as day
laborers. the company doing this be-
cause the coal was low at this par
ticular place, there being fault"
in the entry, and thus the miners
We're making more while working
by the day than they could have
made by the regular rate. At the
same time there was less reason in
their firing shot off the solid while
working by the day than there would
have been otherwise.
Perhaps, these two miners are not
to be censured for their act as it was
not done maliciously or with intent
to do harm, but th4 there will be a
bitter feeling toward them on the
part of the surviving families of the
fourteen victims is highly probable.
If Nugent be correct, there is good
ground for condemnation of their act.
The report. II accurate and right,
ought to be warning to other min
ers and result in the observance Of
the very greatest precaution and care
against such dangers and disasters.
Every miner should feel that his own
life. the lives of his fellowminers and
the safety and preservation of the
operators property. which is the
means of the miners further llveli-
hood. are in his hands. With that
responsibility properly impressed on
his mind and heart, he win carefully
observe every precaution and not
uegligently, or carelessly, or thought
lessly cause loss of life and destruc-
ton of property.

storms of craftsmanship? They
convey the impression that he is
headed toward the bug house.
Their treatment of him at this juno
ture seems quite significant and is
a confession of their lack of conf
dence in his leadership. But, that
is not strange for the reason that
the last chance they had they took
up with another idol and bowed at
shrine far distant from the free
silver pedestal.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day comes In few
weeks, and veterans are preparing
for the observance, while Others
have all their plans arranged.
While the Observance of this day is
not altogether what it should be.
owing to the fact in part that too
many people leave everything to
the old soldiers who are not SO able
to carry out their plans as in the
years gone by. says an echxange,
there is sacredness tending the OBJ
servance which appeals strongly to
the public, Indifferent as many per-
sons appear to be. Another matter
which has been causing veterans
much uneasiness is the inclination
on the part of young people to make
Memorial Day a time for hilarity.
AS contemporary points out, It is
up TO the soldiers themselves to stop
this, which they can do by working
in the line of having Memorial Day
changed to the last Sunday in May.
Efforts have been made in that di-
rection, but what is needed is con-
certed action. The change win
doubtless be made in time.

The board of trade has made an
excellent record thus far since its
organization less than a year ago,
and 1t has greater success in sight.
1t is fitting that the work of the
board should be commemorated az
least once year and that the bust
ness men should gather together,
hear good report and rejoice. The
annual banquet to be given by the
board will be just such an occasion
and viii mark the beginning OF a
second year Of progress, which will
doubtless be greater than the first.
The board Of trade is fxity and is
destined to accomplish great things
for Clarksburg. It should receive
support from every man who wants
clarksburg to be greater.

Salem is growing city. There
are industries there and the city has
a very thrifty population. These
are conditions that make it desirable
for clarksburg to be in closer touch
with that hustling city, which means
that the street car line ought to be
extended to that city. The traction
company that now operates such a
handsome distance in that direction
ought to begin to think seriously of
running its line into Salem at the
earliest possible moment. 1t would
prove payer all right, which is
ample motive for its building the
road and operating it. Come, let us
have a car line to salem-an inter
urban-at once.s But, let US not
overlook Bridgeport, for there is an
other good payer.

 arch of many months and after having ent advertising matter to all sections of the country Sheriff Thomas R. Shipp of this county has at last succeeded in To- eating Milton Long In White county, Arkansas, and will send a deputy after him at once.
 Long Is wanted here on the charge of assault with intent to murder. The of fense was committed several months ago in the eastern portion of the county. Long committed a dastardly assault upon an aged Confederate veteran, Wyle Hill. MT. Hill was badly cut and stabbed about the body and for many weeks he fingered between life and death He finally re- covered sufficiently to get around but the wounds inflicted upon his person by Long will make him an invalid the remainder of his life, it is said. Long will be re- turned for trial.
 Mrs. Arnold Williams of Decatur re- turned last night from Los Angeles, Gala, where she went after her 5-year-old daughter alleged to have been Kidnapped by her husband some months ago.
 Some time since a separation took place between MT. Williams and his wife. He was engaged in the confectionery bus- mess in Decatur, He left Decatur, leav- ing his wife and little daughter be- hind. A few months ago he returned and it is said called on his wife and ap- parently the trouble between them was patched up.
 One day it is said that MT. Williams took the little daughter up town, say ing he was going to get pair of shoes for her. Mir. Williams and the child disappeared and for time no trace of them could be found. Finally Sheriff Shipp succeeded In locating him in Los Angles. Cal. Mrs. Williams started for the California city and last night re- turned with her baby girl.
 A charming entertainment was given last night by Mrs. C. A. Weis, at her home on Ferry street, in honor of her guest, Miss Mayne Cushman of Cairo. III. Salads and ices were served during the evening.
