BEGIN WORK SOON AT STEEL PLANT.

The new steel plant at Kenova is
almost ready to begin operations and
if everything moves smoothly, it is
probable that the big concern will
start up today Wednesday, that be-
ing the date set for the opening of
the mills. A large force of men are
rushing the work as fast as possible
and will complete it soon after the
tenth if not by that time.
The enormous buildings erected
for the company have changed the
appearance of the community and
what was, not so long ago, a happy
smiling little town, promises to soon
be veritable hive ofindustry. Large
forces of men are coming in every
day, many with their families, and
are ready to begin work at once.

DAM NO. 26
NEAR BEN LOMOND IMMENSE AMOUNT
OF WORK DONE.

Report from those employed on
the construction of Dam No. 60,
Ben Lomond, this county, show an
encouraging amount of work done
during the season on this importan,
Government enterprise and every
thing is still going on nicely. From
the Chief Engineer in charge of the
Improvement, Capt. F. W. Alstaet-
ter, it is learned that s5e feet of the
navagable pass has been finished, ,and
that the river wall has also been
completed. Work on the land wall
is now in progress. About $4,000
cubic feet of concrete constitutes the
amount of this class of work so far
completed.
This is one of the dams and locks
that the Government is building
without the intervention of contracts,
purchasing the material and employ
ing the labor on its own account,
and so far has proved beneficial in
furthering the work. Another thing,
the continued low water during the
past season has been a help in the
way of pushing things along. About
three hundred and fifty to four hun
dred men are engaged on the work.

Thief TOOK CHICKENS BUT LOST A BIG
ROLL OF CASH N COOP.

Huntington, W. Va, Dec. e.
There is certain township out in
Gallia county, Ohio, which IS chuck
ling over the strangest chicken steal
ing mixup that was ever known in
that part of the country. A farmer
named Smith, who breeds fancyp poul-
try, went out to feed his valuable
hens the other morning and found
that they were gone, having been
stolen during the night. Casting
about over the ground he found a
pocketbook. He examined it and
found that it continued the owners
name and address and $3.50 in bills.
Smith put the pocketbook in his
trousers and rubbed his hands COM
placently. He didn't even offer to
pay reward for the return of his
hens. 1t wasn't long before the
man whose. name was in the wallet
appeared on the scene and inquired
if Smith bad chickens to sell. The
reply was that the chickens had al
ready been sold. Then the visitor
made an excuse to get into the coop
and began searching its floor. Fail
ing to find anything, he went away.
Smith meant to keep still but it was
too much for him and he had to take
a few of his neighbOrs into his CON
fdence: So far there have been no
negotiations between the possessors
of the hens and of the pOcketboOk.

LOCAL INDUSTRIES ARE ON THE BOOM

Huntington people not identified
with the shops of the c. & O. or its
business generally in this city, are
not aware of the fact that there are
at present employed here by that
company 1870 men, all of whom are
on the regular pay roll at this point.
The same rule applies in regard to
the Ensign plant of the American
Car and Foundry Company, where
$50 skilled mechanics are now turn
ing out the work as fast as possible in
an effort to fill the large contracts on
hand on contract time.
In addition to the 17so men now
employed at the c. & o. shops are
more than 200 others who are work
ing on the new additions to the shops.
These bring the pay roll at present
up to fully 5000 men. 1t is said
that by early spring there will be
1000 employees on the regular pay
roll.
At the A. C. & F. plant, fourteen
big steel cars are being turned Out
every day and the management fig.
ures that by the first of January,
double the present number of EN-,
ployes will be put to work. Coco
mechanics are hired as fast as they
can be secured and when the force
has been increased to 1900 or 1900
men, the plant will be swinging
along at its old-time gait and so car.
ldaily win be produced.

RHeARE HEY
e in the church this morn

Who are in the church this morn
ingi Not al the good people are in
init, nor all the bad ones out oft. But
The ones who are in it as rule are
much better than the ones who are
out. Whose conduct is the best at
least for the time, the ones at church.
or the ones away from it, There is
no doubt that in general the ones in
church, in conduct, motive, purpose
and example Ear surpass those away
from it.
Where, then. should you be- With
the best, or those not the besta If
you want to associate with the best,
go to church. You may, and do have
the right to decide for yourself as you
have right to decide your own action
between all matters of right and
wrong, but If you want to decide it
right, you will go to some place of
worship on Sunday morning.
It is no less for the the moral than
for the physical and mental welfare
of mankind that the Sabbath Day
was ordained by the Creator as a day
of rest.
As a erowning work of the crea-
ton of the world, the Creator pro-
claimed the Sabbath Day. Every
one feels that the creatOrdid enough
in bringing him into existence to de-
serve thanks for it should at least
show those thanks by proper OBJ
servanee of Gods Day.-Parkers-
burg Sunday Dispatch.

EXPLOSION
CAMERON, THIS STATE, SHAKEN BY
EXPLOSION.

Anthony Schuster, an oil well
shooter employed by the Marietta
Torpedo Co., was blown to atoms at
the company's magazine, located on
the Clell Nichols farm, about I 80
last Wednesday morning. The cause
of the explosion will never be known
but it is supposed that it was caused
by one of the cans falling from
Schuster's hands.
Mr.. Schuster was well and favora-
bly, known in Cameron, being sober
and industrious young man.
He leaves to mourn his loss wife,
who is awe-stricken through the
dreadful calamity.
Atabout I 80 o'clock the citizens
of Cameron were aroused by hearing
a dreadful explosion and each house,
holder imagined that it was in hi.
own home, so terrific was the shock.
Much damage was done to property
throughout the town by the breaking
of window glass.
Large crowds of people were soor
at the scene of the explosion, which
is about a mile and a half from tb,
town. The force of the explosion
was so intense that it threw frag
ments of the wagon and harness owe
one thousand feet.
Coroner McCombs rendered a yer
dict of accidental death caused b,
the explosion of nitrO-glycerine.
A small piece of what was suppos
ed to be parts of the body of Schus
ter were gathered together and plac
ed in the casket and taken to tn
home of the deceased.
Funeral services were conducted a

body was shipped to his former hOm

EXPLAINS ACTIONS
OF HALEY COMET
IF The TAIL IS 10000 MLES BROAD II
WILL SWEEP OVER PRACTICALLY
HALF OF OURSEY.

Providence; R. l., Dec. As
tronomer Frank E. seagrave, who
computed the time when Halley's
comet would makes return in COM
paratiSeIy close proximity to the
earth, told today what mankind viii
see when the visitor gets within the
range ofthe human vision.
The comet is within telescope
range now and drawing nearer the
earth at a speed which would make
the velocity of cannon ball seem a
snail's pace.
The earth, . said Mr.. seagrave,
will pass through the tail ofthe
comet on May 10 next. At about
$50 on the evening of May IS the
comet will be at a place in the heav-
ems which will make it appear from
the daylight side of the planet as if
just going onto the suns disc. Then
the comet will sweep in transit across
the face of the sun. The transit will
not be visible on this continent, how
ever.
This will be one Ofthe most inter
esting celestial events which astrOn-
Omers ever had a chance to watch.
The tail of the comet, streaming
out toward US, will be sight to be
always remembered. The tail oftbe
comet will look to US like superb
starting aurora.
When the earth rushes through
the tail of the comet the sphere we
inhabit will sustain shower of star
dust. This earth is likely to pick up
a vast quantity of the comets ma
terial. But the dust will settle i'm
perceptibIy down through the atmos-
phere. Perhaps it may. cause cleo
trical disturbances.

SAWDUST FLOUR
FROM WASTE OF LUMBER NILS HAS A
NUMBER OF USES

: -ss-eS.- - 3S4sS4AA AleAAaaaS AAaAS -
! NUMBER OF USES.
Flour from sawdust is anotherstep
in the movement for the cOnserva-
ton of forest resources. The United
States consul at christiania. Norway
has sent to this government sug-
eestion along this line which may be
of value to American lumbermen who
are wrestling with the problem of
sawdust waste.
The -four in question IS not the
kind which goes into the making of
light, fluffy biscuits, and the other
kind which are not light, or flaky
pastry, but it is an ingredient of
dynamite, linoleum. xyolite, which
for the information of the man on
the street is kind of artificial floor
ing, and other things. 1t is not put
forward as new discovery, for it has
been in use for several years in
Europe, and to a small extent in this
country.
The wood -four is ground in cheap
mill, very similar to those which
grind corn and rye. Pine and spruce
sawdust is used in Europe, and after
passing through the stones and the
bolting chest, it is sacked or baled
for shipment. 1t is then worth sle
t" sls dollars ton.
The -four has number ofuses, one
of which is in the making of dyna-
mite. 1t is the absorbent for the nj
troglycerine, which is the explosive
ingredient. Wood -four dynamite is
inferior to that made with infusorial
earth as the absorbent; but it serves
many purposes, and is cheaper. But
dynamite is one of the smallest pros
pective uses for the product. Limo
leum makers mix it with linseed oil
and give body to their floor coverings.
1t is not considered quite equal to
ground cork for this purpose, as it is
less elastic; but it is cheaper and
meets requirements for medium
grades.
The -four fills an important place
in the manufacture of exolite, a kind
of artificial flooring, resembling wood
in weight, and stone in other re-
spects. 1t is used for kitchen floors,
and in halls, corridors, cafes, restau-
rants, and public rooms. 1t is im-
pervious to water, and is practically I
1t is floor material in
some of the German war vessels. 1t
is SO used because it is not liable to
take FIRE or splinter if struck by
shells.
Many additional uses for wood
-four will probably be found. The
amount of sawdust to be had in this
country is practically unlimited, and
millmen will welcome any plan that
will lessen the waste at the sawdust
dump. Norway exports thousands of
tons of this sawdust -four yearly, and
the United States take some of it.
Germany is large manufacturer
also, and has been for years. Eng
land is an extensive buyer, and
much goes to France.

Abraham Lincoln gets credit for
saying the following: 81 am not
accustomed to use the language Of
eulogy. l have never studied the
art of paying compliment to woman
but l must say that, if all that has
been said by orators and poets since
the creation of the word in praise Of
women were applied to the women
of America, it would not do them
justice for their conduct during the
war;"
