Edited by Member of the F. A. al @. OF
Monongalia County.
All communication for this col
umn should be addressed to the
editor of the Alliance Column, Box
437, Morgantown, w. Va"
The readers of the New DOMINION
may wish to know why the Alliance
Column is not filed each week.
Well, will try and explain the rea-
son.
The arrangement made by the
County Alliance for filling the COL
umn WAS TO elect an editor, then for
each sub Alliance in the county to
elect correspondent, whose duty it
would be to write pieces and send
them to the editor of the Alliance
column.
| have been waiting with the pa
thence Of Job, but as yet haven't re-
ceived single letter from cores
pendent. am willing to do my duty
that is / am willing to edit this
column to the best of my ability, but
l haven't the time to write out orig
inal pieces every week, and if had
the time it would be impossible for
me to get the news from each sub
Alliance.
Now, | hope the sub Alliances will
not give me another chance to find
fault. We can make this an inter
esting column if you will give me
your hearty cooperation.
The business feature of the ALI
ance is of the utmost importance to
the success of the order, that the
largest financial benefits may be
brought within reach of every men,
Der and that it may be not only bene-
fetal, but financially profitable to each
member of the Farmers Alliance In
our business interests we desire to
bring the producer and the consumer,
farmers and manufacturers, into the
most direct and friendly relations
possible. Therefore it is but just
and proper that we dispense with
the large surplus of the middle men,
and save the extra profits that he
has on his goods And no one need
be disappointed in his or her expec-
tations of the benefits to be derived
from the Alliance if they but avail
hnr al tyne, f.ff Ia
ments.
AS we have stated above, one i'm
portant feature of the Alliance is the
business branch. The Alliance,
having a sharp eye to the saving Of
the mighty dollar and the lettering
of the condition of it's members, and
with determination to put stop to
the exorbitant prices that they were
compelled to pay to the middle man
for all classes OF merchandise, early
devised simple and economical ira
ding or business plan for supplying
their needs in the cheapest manner
possible. A number of State Ali
ances adopted the wise plan of
securing the cooperation Of whole
sale business houses of undoubted
integrity and good financial stand
ing who had the nerve 10 come out
boldly and openly espouse the cause
of the Farmers organizations of the
country, and interested them in the
Alliance movement. A. II. II.

The Penalty of Success.

Did you ever see the wife of a
successful MANI" / am tempted to
ask when some one points out to me
the shining lights of these two
friends of mine. Not that the men
are brutal, ill-tempered, or except
ionally irritable; rather the reverse
is true of them; they are amiable
enough. Yet their unconquerable
sefahsorption has made them any
thing but boon companions. Their
hours of labor or of research are pro-
longed unreasonably, with intervals
of moodiness, sometimes of utter 81 !.
lence. The bubble they follow, is
ever dancing before their eyes; the
fury of pursuit is all-in all, and life
apart from that has lost its charm.
Their wives share in their triumphs,
of course: and why should they COM
plain2 They do not. Like the
Dutchman's wife upon her deathbed,
they are resigned because they have
to be 1t is only between the lines
of their patient faces that one may
read the wish Of the heart for the old
days to come hack when things were

A Hard Corner.

The age of 90 is hard corner for
"a woman to turn, and 30 is still hard
err. She feels that she is fast leav-
ing her youth behind her. But there
is no reason why woman should be
faded and pass at 35, or even at As.
The chief cause of the early fading
of American women is found in the
fact that many of them suffer from
some form of female weakness or
disease which robs the face of it's
bloom, draws dark circles about the
eyes, brings early wrinkles and SAL
lowness, and stamps the face and
figure with signs of i'll health. DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
cure all these troubles, will bring
back the lost bloom, and remove the
pains and ailments which make
women grow old before their time.
Guaranteed to give satisfaction in
every case, or price ($1 .00) refunded.

Mr.. Elkins' New Home.

The Baltimore Sun has the follow
ing description of Hon. S. B. Elkins'
magnificent new residence:
"On commanding eminence about
quarter of mile from the station
at Elkins, is the magnificent resi-
.dence of Hon. Stephen B. Elkins,
erected at a cost of over 100000,
with at least $50, 900 more to furnish
it. Gentlemen who know what fine
houses are, said they had never seen
anything more elegant. An idea of
its size may be had when it is stated
that there are twenty-six furnished
bed chambers in the house and eight
bath rooms. The ball room, in the
third story, is on scale of magnifi-
cence seldom seen anywhere, whilst
the walls are decorated with Indian
trappings in infinite variety. From
the front portico the view down the
Tygarts Valley southwark and across
the valley eastward is one of surpas-
sing grandeur. Five distinct ranges
OF mountain rise one above the other
until one is in doubt where the
mountains end and the clouds and
sky begin. The residence is supplied
with water from Tygarts river, up
into great tank, whilst gas for il
Illuminating the house and grounds is
manufactured on the premises. Mr..
Davis is now building, on an adjoin-
ing eminence, a residence of Cheat
river stone, which will be quite as
large as the Elkins house,
whilst Hon. r. G. Kerns, prominent
Republican politician of St. Louis,
has secured an eligible site on which
he will build house in keeping with
the others. These gentlemen own
several thousand acres of the most
valuable land in the vicinity of Ell
kins."

President Mayors Triumph.

The Baltimore Necs, in common
ting upon the report Of President
Mayer, of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, to it's stock. holders, thus
justly pays tribute to that gentle
mans services to them directly, and
indirectly to the people of Maryland
at large, but more especially of Bal
timore City.
The prosperity of the Baltimore
and Ohio is the prosperity of Balti-
more and Maryland. The great road
is peculiarly identified with our city
and State and what effects one effects
the other as well.
When President Mayer took charge
of the eompany's interests the prop
erty was in very bad way. I'm
mense debts had been contracted:
the road bed was in poor condition,
and the rolling stock run down.
There was gloom in this community,
not only because dividends had ceas-
ed to be paid and the stock deprecia-
ted far below par, but because few
knew where disaster would end or
how soon the fatal blow would fall.
In this momentous crisis, when dis.
trust and depression prevailed, Mr..
Mayer was induced to take the presi-
dency. Results are the best test
monials to the work of man. He was
a quiet. pleasant but resolute gentle
man, who made no fourshes and
sought no display. He made neither
boasts nor promise, but set to work
upon the tangled wreck that experts
viewed with dismay. and as the Ners
then predicted, he unraveled the in
tricacies and overcame the obstacles.
A quiet man with iron nerves and
a clear head he firmly met and sur
mounted every difficulty, until to- day
the company is doing more business
than it ever did, its stock is above
par, the road bed restored, the roll
ing stock increased and the first di-
vidend earned in many years paid
Such is the splendid record of the
present administration. A great road
has been restored in a few years and
there has been no ostentation about
it. From a weak and undermined
foundation, he has built it up and
from its present condition its future
is assured. A great future The same
hand that has guided it steadily out
Of the breakers will pilot it prosper
ously through the smooth waters it
has reached at last.

Tho Funeral Of a Dog.

A largely attended funeral was that
which occurred the other day at Indian
apolis of Colonel j b Dodge's shepherd
dog Frank The children of the neighbor-
hood loved him, for he was their constant
playmate, But with all his intelligence
Frank didn't know enough to "look out
for the cars when the bell rings" Two
years ago he was run over by a train which
crushed one of his legs and cut off his tail.
Lapse Of time brought forgetfulness, and
the other day Frank, who had become
quite decrepit and deaf, wandered down
the railroad track again and was struck
by train, killing him instantly.
The news spread among the boys, and
they concluded TO give him a funeral such
as no dog ever had in that part OF the coun-
try Selecting a suitable location, the
grave was dug and a respectable coffin was
made, and Frank was placed in it in one
of his favorite trick attitudes-that of
playing dead The coffin was then closed
and the grave filled up in the presence of
fifty ladies and gentlemen, who were at
tracted by the novelty of the situation, and
at least 200 boys The whole proceeding
was conducted with the utmost decorum
with one exception. A needless boy
thOughtlessly threw a stone, hitting Frank
just as he was being placed In the coffin.
In an instant the air was filed with stones,
and that boy doubtless wishes that he had
never seen dead dog.
