FIFTEEN DAYS WITHOUT FooD.
"A peculiar case, and one with
out parallel in this section, came to
our notice this week. Fannie Ella
little daughter of Benz. Eliza,
(colored) of Weston, has for fifteen
days been the subject Of strange
malady. From about the third
day of June until the seventeenth
inst. she had not eaten a single
morsel of food, and took nothing,
except now and then a drink of
water During this interval she
was not confined to bed by illness,
and in the day time would walk
around as usual. On the fifteenth
day her appetite apparently re-
turned. The first thing she called
for was cheese, and since that time
she has eaten as heartily as any
body. Her fast of 900 hours has
not affected her seriously. About
four years ago the little girl drank
some I've water, and since then, at
times, she would not be able to
eat; but never before for so long a
time as this Weston Democrat.
THE PIsToL AND HOME. "A Sc
rious shooting affair occurred at the
residence of Charles Woods on
High Street last Friday evening,
which resulted in the wounding of
Robt. Thompson, of this place.
The cause Of the shooting while
claimed by Woods to be in self
defense, probably had other incen-
tives besides. Thompson, it seems,
had been in the habit of visiting
Woods house in his absence, and
though frequently warned to desist,
continued his visits. On the above
evening, after some wrangling,
Woods fired upon Thompson put
ting four bullets into his person.
After the shooting Mr.. Woods
gave himself up. Thompson will
propably live. Woods had hear
ing before the Court Tuesday even
ing and was held to bail in the
sum of 1000. Bail not being
furnished, the prisoner was re-
manded to Jail to await the action of

a Growing Party.

A political party, like a church,
must either advance or retrograde;
it cannot stand still. In fact, if a
party remain stationary in numbers
or policy it is but preparing for
retrogression. The Democratic par
ty to-day is undoubtedly PROSECUTING
more rapidly than at any period in
its existence 1t is receiving it's
growth from the double benefit of
place and policy. There is natur-
al tendency among a large class
and for no sordid motive-to gravi-
tate to the party in power. Such
party, if it administers the affairs
of government in conservative and
honest lines, yet shows spirit and
willingness to carry out reforms, APP
peals strongly for the support of
business interests and those citizens
whose politics extend but little
further than voting intelligently at
elections for the attainment of ends
which they fully appreciate and un-
derstand. From that class comes
no criticism of Mr.. Cleveland $
course and methods. On the CON
trary all indications point to their
cordial Endorsement.
A second class-and let it not be
denied that these classes whose po-
litical affiliations are decided so
largely in national campaigns by
the administrative policy of the
Governments second class is
made up of the Independents who
voted the National Democratic tick
ct for the first time last fall. This
class it must be acknowledged, act
ed with the Democracy not so much
in positive appreciation of Demo
cratic virtues as to emphasize their
detestation of Republican corrup-
ton and disapproyal of the Repub-
lican candidates. 1t is eminentlv
desirable that this support shall be
changed from negative to a posi-
tive character; that the so-ealled
Mugwumps shall cease to be Mug
wumps, and permanently attach
themselves to the Democratic party.
This can be done by carrying out
their wishes. Their wishes are all
in line with good government. And
let it here be said that the Mug
wumps carry off the palm for mod
esty of bearing against all competi-
tors. The Mugwump organs and
opponents have nothing but praise
for Mr.. Cleveland. They are al
ready within the Democratic fold.

West Virginia University.

For the first time in many years
the West Virginia University is re.
ceiving friendly notices from the
press of the State, without regard tc
party.
This change of sentiment has
been brought about by the action Of
the Board of Regents at their last
meeting.
Hon. E. NJ, Turner, of Harrison
county. was elected President; Prof
d. b. Purinton, Vice President.
Prof Whitehill, of Wheeling, to the
Chair of Chemistry and Physics, in
place of Prof w. Latham, resigned
and Prof. Reynolds, Of Shelton Col
lege, to the Chair of English, made
vacant by the removal of Prof
Lyon.
The University has never received
fair treatment by a portion of the
press, and but scant courtesy from
those who should have been its
warmest friends. Now that more
generous and liberal sentiment per
vades the press and the people, the
school ought to prosper as it has

The University is by far the best
equipped institution of learning in
the State, as regards physical appli-
ances, and it's corps Of Professors is
equal, if not superior, to that Of
many institutions of more preten-
sions. Mr., Turner, the newly elect.
ed President, is native of the State
and acknowledged to be a man Of
decided ability and large acquire
ments in the field of letters. He is
man of fixed and pronounced views
upon all the important topics of the
day, and will make his impress upon
the young men trained under his
eye. He is refined Christian gen
tleman of high character, and stu.
dents will be largely benefited by
the example and instruction.

will not hesitate to send them to q

ed next year.

Some One Hurt,

The West Virginia Democrat,
published at Charlestown, is max
ing war on the Democratic leaders
of the State. The Democrat
is owned by a stock company,
Messrs. Bedinger, Lucas, and
Eichelberger being among the
stockholders. Just now it is wag-
ing war upon Senator Camden,
who, we hear, has been instru-
mental in giving citizen of Char
lestown, one of the best Federal Of
fees. This seems to be very un-
satisfactory to the Democrat, for it
goeth for Mr.. Camden's scalp as
follows:
"Sycophants and parasites gath
err around the millionaire politicians
as carrion crows swarm about a
carcass, and the immense wealth
of Mr.. Camden, coupled with a
prostitution of Federal patronage,
has surrounded him with horde
of servile henchmen, ready to
black his boots SO long as he re-
tains either his money or his office,
and who will be equally ready to
blacken his name the instant his
power is lost. The fattery of his
henchmen doubtless misleads the
Senator.
Now, we have this much to say
for Mr.. Camden, in an indepen-
dent way: He has been the ar
chitect of his own fortune. He
made himself a millionaire by in
dustry, energy and business tact.
Not only that, but he has used
his means and his enterprise in
West Virginia, and has been a
builder of her material interests.
We knew him when he was much
poorer than now, and without the
honor Of official position, and we
take pleasure in saying that in
creasing wealth and earned honers
has neither made a fool Of or les
sened his frank, kind and manly
qualities. With the politics of
Johnson N. Camden we have
naught to do, but with his be-
havior as citizen, his qualities as
man, and his business capacity
we have an interest in common
with the people of West Virginia,
and we do him no more than sim
pie justice in saying that all are
commendable and worthy of emu
lation. -Mnarttxs6wg independent

Our Centennial Celebration.

MorgantOwD must celebrate Its
Centennial. Every sentiment Of
citizenship demands it. Every
feeling Of town pride demands it.
Every claim of public spirit de-
mands it. Our self-respect de-
mands it. Our One Hundred
Years of history demands it. 1t
would be disgraceful to let the oc-
cssion pass without some adequate
manifestation of our interest. To
do so would damage our reputa-
ton abroad, and humiliate us at
home. Our neighbors would point
the finger Of scorn at a people
who were so dead to every senti-
ment of local pride as to ''make
no sign" on such an occasion in
our history. Besides, our centen-
NAL year is more full of interest
and hope for our town than any
other period of our history. Our
railroad will be open. We will
have water works and gas. Our
population is increasing and new
buildings and improvements are
appearing on all sides. These
things give additional inspiration
to the desire for centennial ju-
bilee.
We had supposed that our Town
council would inaugurate this
movement and make the preimi-
nary arrangements, but so far they
have been Inert. 1t now devolves
upon our leading citizens to take
this matter in hand. There is not
day to be lost. By way of voic-
ing the public sentiment and Civ
ing practical turn to the "town
talk" it has been suggested that
number of our leading citizens,
composed of the old and young
men, come together at the Court
House and discuss and determine
what course is best in order to
organize and prepare for the event,
and that they will either issue a
call for general public meeting
or appoint committees who will
begin the organization and pre-
pare programme.
The following list of citizens,
composed of ten of the older men
and ten of the young men of the
town, has been nominated to or
ganize this preliminary meeting.
End they are respectfully requested
\ to meet at the Court House on Sat
