ITS PROPOSED LOCATION IN FRONT OF THE CENTER
MARKET-THE TITLE TO THE RESERVATION.
The title TO the reservation I'm front OF the Wash
ington market, which has been picked out as the
most available site for city post Office that can be
obtained without purchase. was determined by the
Supreme Court OF the United states AT the October
term 1881. In the case OF the District OF Columbia
against the Washington Market company. Under
the act, which took effect MAY % 1870. the market
company was given the right To occupy the land IN
question for ninety-nine years. In pursuance OF
the act OF Congress Of March }. 1873 the Washing
ton Market company conveyed and released The.
property the District for the purpose of erecting
thereon suitable District buildings. The supreme
Court held that this conveyance was valid.
Mr. T. ). Smith, clerk OF the Washington Market
company, stated To "A STAR reporter that there was
doubt that the title to The reservation in front OF
the market was vested at present in the District
government AS To a statement that the ground In
front OF the market would not afford a secure
foundation for building. he said that that ground
was better than that On which the market house
had been built.
II is stated that in order TO provide ground for
symmetrical building the market company would
be willing TO give considerable ground AT the cen-
ter, taking In return a triangular portion OF the
reservation at each end, that the south line OF
the reservation would be straight, or nearly
straight. Ii Is thought, also. that there viii be
room enough afforded TO give the post office pri-
vate entrance without requiring the mail wagons
to the roadway in front or the market building.
Gentlemen interested in the market company r,-
gard the proposed location OF the post Office build
ing with favor the only objection being that IL viii
obscure their building somewhat.

The Legislature will convene on
the 18th day of January in Wheeling.
This will be its last session in that
city. On the 1st Of May the capitol
will be removed to Charleston, Ka-
nawha county, its permanent seat
The session will likely last until
about March 1st and will be one of
great Importance. The supplemental
assessment order, the constitutional
ity of the exemption law, the amend
ments to the State Constitution, the
Supreme court decisions and the Dir
reducible school fund" are matters
that will be brought to the attention
of the law makers. The Alumni of
the University will have a meeting
in Wheeling during the early part of
the session and will doubtless seek
to call the attention of the Legisla-
ture to certain matters touching the
interests of this, the highest school
in the State.

MRS. christian Zelle, aged sixty-three
years, of Carondelet, ST. Louis, Missouri,
had a chronic ulcer on her leg which had
been running for forty-three years. To
use her own language, she had "tried all
the doctors" but without perceptible ben
eht. Two OF the most noted OF this city
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March 81, this
year, she commenced using DIR. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to day the leg is
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty three years.
Miss Alice Brady, Of East st. Louis,
Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalmia
for five years. On April II she began
treatment under DR.. Hartman. For
year before she was patient of two of
the best known oculists of this city, but
they signally failed to help her. After
one month under DR.. Hartman and his
PERUNA, her eyes have almost entirely
healed, and, according to her own state
ment, he has done more for her in this
short space of time than the oculists did
in the previous whole year. PERUNA,
of course, did it.
Miss Annie Baker, First Avenue, Mil
waukee, writes: 81 take great pleasure
in recommending PERUNA. For years I
have suffered from Asthma. was in
duced to try PERUNA. 1t promptly
relieved the paroxysms, and its continued
use renders their recurrence less and less
frequent am confident it will cure me
completely"
Walker Brothers, druggists, Batavia, O.,
write: "DR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus,
O., Dear Sir: Some two weeks ago had
avery peculiar case, and after few ques-
tons were answered, came to the con-
clusion it was catarrh of the stomach of
the worst kind, of ten years. standing.
The patient had consulted every ply
stefan far and near. persuaded her 10
try your PERUNA and MANALIN. She
had been having spasms every three or
four days, and the fifth dose kept them
of, and they have not returned since"
w. M. Griffith, Ashland, KY, writes.
THE large chronic ulcers of fifteen
months standing, are entirely healed.
The swelling, pain and itching have all
subsidized, the leg is healed, and am per.
fectly well. PERUNA is a wonderful rem
sdy."

We desire to call especial attention
to the article in another column
headed, "Our Public Schools" The
matters therein discussed deserve
the careful consideration of our PEG
pie generally and school patrons par
ticularly. They should read, think
and act The teachers are doing
excellent work and the school is in a
prosperous condition but the patrons
are not all doing their duty in this
matter. The attendance should be
increased. Regularity should be Sc
cured There should be a strong
spirit of cooperation between parent
and teacher. That article ought TO
be read by every parent in town.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
An Address to the Patrons by
Principal Hodges.

TO the Patrons Of our Public School:
AS we are approaching the close of
the first term of this school year it
occurred to me that it would not be
out Of place to call the attention of
the patrons and friends of our public
school to the all important matter of
attendance, and the effects of irregu-
larity in this particular.
The third month of school closed
on Tuesday, December End l pro-
pose to give brief report of the at
tendance and averages for that
month, hoping it will not prove I'M
interesting, at least to those inter
ested in our schools. The enrolment
was as follows:
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-12-13

our public institutions-or rather
carping that the University should
receive more than the Fairmont
school That is not the thing to do.
We conceive that there is ground for
complaint at the meager support of
the Normal schools, but the ground
is not that the University receives
more than they. The fact is that the
University is so meagerly supported
by the State that it becomes impos-
sible for it to compete with the in
situations of neighboring States, and
many of our young men 60 out of
the State to college. and few come in.
The State of Michigan, 'or example,
appropriates annually Thirty Seven
Thousand Dollars to it's chief Uni
versity, not to mention other educa-
tional institutions within its territory.
In Ohio there is College or Uniyers-
lty Tor almost every congressional
district-nearly all drawing Fl ON the
public treasury and literally sup
ported.
West Virginia has but one Uni
versity. 1t is a very creditable in
stitution; but it should be made a
model for the land, as our common
school system has been and it may
yet be, if our contemporary and other
public journals will help to inspire
more ambitious spirit on the part of
our Legislators.

play of their 6re-clay products at
the Worlds Fair, at New Orleans.
On Saturday last they boxed and
shipped samples of chimney tops,
hre-clay, stove pipe, sewer pipe,
drain tile; also samples ofcoal from
three veins which they mine, and
samples of crude and fine ground
or bolted clay. Arrangements
have also been made for an exhibit
ton by the New Cumberland fac
tories for samples Of paving brick

hydro carbon, from the Carbon

Suit was entered in the Circuit
Court of Ohio county last Thursday
by N. c. Criswell, administrator
of Thomas Waldron, against the
Pittsburgg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Railroad Company to re-
cover $40. 900 damages for the
killing of Waldron on the defend
ant company's track in October.
Waldron, an employee Of the COM
pany, was going up the road on
handcar with a fellow workman
and boy on the morning the
special train bringing Blaine home
from Columbus came down, and
supposed he had a clear track.
The claim on which the suit is
based is that the company neglect
ed to notify him of the fact that an
extra train was on the road. The
hand-car was struck and Waldron
and the boy killed.

sible for case of truancy to escape
detection. This throws the respon-
sibility for the attendance jnst where
it should be, with the parents.
1t is to them therefore that make
this appeal, and hope that they will
cooperate with us in all endeavors
to secure regular attendance. Irreg-
ularity is the baDe of successful
school work, and if the patrons of
our public school desire to see them
reach the highest degree of efficiency,
as | an sure they do, let them give
us solid substantial encouragement
by using every means in their power
to increase our attendance.
Respectfully,
THos. f. HODGES.
