We Hope They VIII.


Hon. Geo. C. sturgiss and Grove
Chadwick, of Morgantown, accom-
panied by gentleman from Ohio,
were here on Tuesday looking over
the T., K d f. railroad. 1t is ru-
mored that these gentlemen, in con
nection with other capitalists, have
in view the purchase of the T., X. d
F. railroad if it can be had at fair
figure, then connecting it with the
Black Bottle by extending the form
er TO the latter and making the
whole line narrow guage to connect
at Morgantown with slackwater.
This would prove grand improve
ment for all this section, and in all
probability would result in opening
up an extensive coke field in Valley
district on the lands already owned
by the Black Bottle company. All
honor to those who shall bring it
about; with good wishes for their fu-
ture success,

Georgetown J0ttings.

GEORGETOWN, Aug. 31.-Since our las
report to you, we have noticed Mrs. Geo
G. Kerns, OF Grangeville, and Samue
Emery Snider and family, OF the same
vicinity; among friends in this vicinity
also j. T. Camp and wife, of Lewis
county.
nounced has pulled out for Barbour
county, and perhaps some other changes
made that we do not now recall.
G. L. Michael has given another series
of lessons in penmanship-this time to a
class on Stewards run.
j. B. NJ. Kennedy left Tuesday last fol
the purpose Of teaching in Illinois. We
believe he locates at Cherry Valley.
We guess a few good teachers could
find employment in West Virginia from
present indications; as we hear of appli-
cations for teachers more frequently than
applications for schools.
We learn that VIM. A. Thorn will open
beef shop in your town this week, and
that his family will move there in the
near future. One by one our farmers
are drifting to the towns, finding farm
ing does not pay, and yet we must be
taxed on our tin roofs, and the cans to
save our fruit, for the protection of the
WonderJI tin industry of the U. S. A.
which is to be run by imported pauper
labor from Wales.
We are led to exclaim. How long,
oh Lord how long?
Quite a number OF our farmers went
to,F airmont for fertilizer Saturday, Hood
& Phillips having sold car load through
agents Hess & Hawkins.

A Big Lawsuit In Prospect.

VIM. 5. Stevenson HI g brought suit
against Ira Dewitt to regain certain
property he claims to have conveyed
TO Dewitt, Both are we'll known oil
operators in the Monongalia and
Marion oil fields. The bill sets forth
that in 1889 they came here as part
ners to lease land, bore for oil and
transact other business in their line.
Many transactions were made and
to simplify certain matters Steven
son conveyed to Dewitt his interest
in very large lot Of territory which
the latter was to sell AMI then divide
the profits, This it is claimed he
failed to dc. Mr.. Dewitt denies this
in toto, A great volume of deposit
tions have been taken before Com
missioner Lazxell, but Is yet a mere
fraction of the evidence is in. Yes
terday the taking of d. positions was
continued until the 10ih. We learn
that much valuable property is in
yolved and big suit il in prospect.

The parent of insomnia or wake
fulness is in nine cases out of ten a
dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion
gives sound sleep, indigestion inter
feres with it. The brain and
stomach sympathize. One of the
prominent symptoms ola weak state
of the gastric organs is disturbance
of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and
you restore equilibrium to the great
centre. A most reliable medicine
for the purpose is Hostetter's Stom-

to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may
for time exert soporitic influence
upon the brain, soon cease to act,
and invariably injure the tone of the

DISTRIBUTE THE PAPERS
And the Masses Of the People Can Then
Take Care of Themselves.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
GEORGETOWN, August 3l.-Recogniz-
ing the fact that our newspapers are pow
erful factors in the dissemination of use
full knowledge, we wish to say something
in regard to the facilities furnished the
people for getting them in the rural dis
tricts. Now it has seemed to me that
the recommendation for distribution of
the mail in country districts was about
the best thing advocated by the Alliance.
Get the newspaper to the Granger and
he will soon learn why he is taxed so
early and often for the benefit of other
men. 1t is because he has been willing
to let others think for him instead OF
thinking for himself, and the reason he
has not been more Independent is be-
cause the means OF informing himself
have not been placed in his reach, as it
has in the reach of other classes,
A year or more since we mentioned
the idea of free delivery of mail to the
people in the country to City p. M.
and he almost went into commissions at
the monstrous idea.
But our opinion was not in the least
changed by his opposition. If all people
are free and equal, why should one class
be taxed for the benefit of others, and to
furnish others privileges that are denied
to themselves? What better is a city
man that he should have his mail laid
at his door half dozen times a day
while the farmer who is taxed on all he
eats, drinks wears and the air he breathes
not get his once a week except he goes
3 to 6 or more miles to the Postoflice for
it?
We are told it would be too costly
Well if it does cost something, when was
money ever expended for better pur-
pose? Could we not economic the
amount in other matters and not demon
alize the morals of many thereby?
At any rate we argue that the money
could not be used for any better purpose,
and we are sure that eternal Justice de-
mands that all class legislation should
cease and that one man should not be
taxed on his toll, to furnish comforts to
the "kid gloved aristocracy"
What we want now is a general cireu
lation of our newspapers and to get our
people interested in the questions of
taxation and the distribution of the ia
vors and we think after awhile they will
speak to the powers that be in tones
that cannot be misunderstood. We want
a little more of the spirit OF rs.

sinners, we can't make ourselves dis
tinctly disagreeable without being
remorseful about it.
For great many people this little
poem voices more than one personal
experience.
off had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
l said when you went away,
/ had been more careful darling,
Nor given you needless pain,
But we vex our own
With look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night:
And hearts have broken
And harsh words spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the coming guest,
But oft for our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best;
All lips with the curve impatient,
All brow with the look of scorn.
'Twere cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.'

ROBBED OF 800.
Higgins Brothers and Make
Good Haul.

Wednesday last at about 7 O'Clock
A. NJ. George, John and William
Higgins three bachelor brothers
living together on their farm in
Clinton District this County neal
Clinton Furnace went out into the
meadow to top out hay stacks leav-
ing an old lady by the name of Gard
ner, their housekeeper, alone in the
house. Shortly after the men left
the house Mrs. Gardner heard a
noise at the door and started to open
it when it was suddenly flung open
and two men made vicious assault
upon her. One Of the men struck
her over the head with a club and
she grappled with him when she
received two blows on the head from
a sand bag with which the second
man was armed. Mrs. Gardner is a
large powerfully built woman and
struggled desperately with the ruff
fans who had thrown her upon the
bed and we're endeavoring to beat
her into insensibility and managed
to break away from them, after
wrenching the sand bag from the
william who was using it, and rushing
from the house gave the alarm.
The brothers were some distance
from the house and before they
could reach it the men had secured
tin box, which was kept in the
bureau drawer, and made their es-
cape. The box contained about
-four hundred dollars in money and
some valuable papers. The Messrs.
Higgins Immediately gave the alarm
and in short time posse started
out in search of the robbers who had
been recognized by the housekeeper,
despite the fact that they wore
handkerchiefs partially over their
faces and were BACKED, as George
and Lon Anderson young men who
live near the Preston County line.
One of them had married a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Gardner and they were
both in the habit of visiting at the
Higgins house.
The tin box with the contents
missing was found near the honse.
Early Thursday morning the Ander-
son brothers were arrested at their
home and taken before Squire Jas.
Faulkner by whom they were com
mitted to jail to await the action of
the Grand Jury.
Two parties claim to have seen
the men near the house late Tuesday
night and their clothes when arrest
ed were wet and muddy but no
money was found upon them. At
the trial the men were disguised as
Mrs. Gardner claimed they were
when committing the robbery and
she was positive that they were the
men but one she said had changed
his clothes. Eight men brought
the prisoners to town Tuesday and
they were placed in jail.

SURPRISES THE HUDSON
The Scenery on the Beautiful Monon-
gahela
And How ii Was Admired by an Appre-
ciative Lady.
Her Experience on One Of the Floating
Palaces that Ply ON Our River.

Special corr. Of the New DOMINION:
PIrTsBuRG, August 3l.-What a
dissatisfied, disseminated sort of peo
pie we are, Never satisfied with
what we have and can have, but al
ways longing for something beyond
our reach. How many in our quiet
little town have longed for trip to
the seashore, to the mountains or
some other remote quarter that they
have only heard about and have
never seen. Would these same peo-
pie believe that ride on their own
beautiful Monongahela would be far
more delightful than any seashore
trip or mountain resort on this side
of the Atlantic? We have tried it,
and fully agree with the gentleman
who remarked in our hearing a few
weeks ago that "the scenery on the
Monongahela far surpassed the seen
cry on the Hudson" From the time
you leave Morgantown until you
reach Pittsburg there is one surprise
of beauty after the other and we
wonder and wonder why and how we
can live among all this beauty and
not adore the good God who made
it. We took passage on the Adam
Jacobs, neat, smooth running boat,
in charge of as gentlemanly and
courteous set of officers as it has
ever been our fortune to meet. Capt.
Cox is an old time gentleman who is
always looking after the comfort of
the passengers and sees TO it that
none go away hungry, for his table
is laden with everything the market
affords. The clerk is always on the
alert and your every wish is antici-
pated. So with Captain Bob at
the wheel and those gentlemanly Off
GERS below, you are not only sure of
a safe journey but one full of pleas
ure. From Morgantown to Browns
vile theprincipal attraction outside of
the scenery is the locks As the boat
glides into them and the water dash
es and swirls and foams outside you
can almost imagine yourself at Nj
o. ptb III Sutu IL llJllt WHllG YOU
glide oat of the lock and leave all
sounds of the Niagara far behind.
From Brownsville to Pittsburg the
busy life begins and you realize what
a busy, busy world this is of ours
AT McKeesport you find the largest
tube works in the country. Then at
Braddock the Bessemer steel works
are located and employ five thousand
men, and so for miles and miles great
volumes of smoke will be seen pour
ing from the smoke stacks. I'm
mense fires are burning and busy
souls are hurrying to and fro intent
on doing their part. We are not
fairly away from this when the lights
of Pittsburg are seen and without
any confusion we glide into port,
somewhat tired but full of thoughts
of beauty and grandeur and a perfect
realization Of one of the happiest of
days, and that found so near home.

Il don't want to play with my hus-
band" said lady few evenings
since when some one proposed a game
of whist, she feels at liberty to scold
too much" Now. it does seem an
unnatural thing that we should al
low ourselves to be most disagreed
BILE to those we care for most. Not
al all times, of course, else we would
choose to occupy low position in
peoples affection; even as it is, one
can't help wondering at times if it
would not be better to be cared for
less; but just when one is impatient,
and feels irritable, as every body on
this mundane sphere at some time
or other does, then, only to those we
hold dearest is this allowed to APP
pear. 1t may be that we are coward
ly enough to take advantage of the
fact that others will not endure it.
There is no use deluding ourselves
with the fiction that "They under
stand, and do not mind" They un-
derstand, it is true, but they do
mind, and in proportion as they love
us, the unkind words hurt, and cause
heart aches. Ofcourse, they forgive,
but the knowledge that we have such
loyal, generous natures near us should
certainly not give us liberty to test
them to the uttermost.
Really, it is much easier to restrain
an inclination to be irritable, if we
once make up our minds to it, than
to suffer from the recollection of the
pain we have inflicted, and we do
that, Unless we are very hardened

TOILET HINTS:


A clear complexion IS the result Of good health
mot OF cosmetics.
Cosmetics can be used in moderation to ad-
vantage, but they are never so perfect as the
bloom which good health imparts.
A clear complexion is usually the result OF
good circulation. aud good circulation is the
steady flow of blood through the system.
When the blood is sluggish and the mind de.
pressed nothing is so beneficial as pure me-

stimulates the circulation or keeps 1t in regular
and perfect order as pure whiskey.
While there are many so-caled whiskeys,
there is only one that is admitted to be purely
medicinal one; namely, Dufy's Pure Malt.
Druggists and grocers may try to argue to the
contrary because they make more money on
cheap and inferior goods, but 1t is always best
to bear in mind that the one which has been
tested, tried and proven by experience Is the
only certain one. a.
