The Blood is the Life"

Runs the old saying, and everything
that ever makes part of any organ of
the body must reach its place tnerin
through the blood. Therefore, if the
blood is purified and kept in good con-
dition by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
it necessarily follows that the benefit of
the medicine is impaired to every organ
OF the body. Can anything be simpler
than the method by which this excellent
medicine gives good health to all who
will try it fairly and patiently? 3-m

The "New Dominion's" Equipment.

Since our last issue the New Do
MlNIoN has put in its job room new
Chandler Il Price, Gorden job press,
just from the factory and of the
latest pattern. Our job printers are
delighted with it and say lit is the
best machine they ever handled. A
few days before receiving this press
half ton of new type was added to
our stock. These items are but a
very small part of the equipment of
this office. Our job room is stocked
with line of material that puts it
far in advance of the town and times
and equal to the best equipments to be
found in cities the size of Parkers-
burg and Martinsburg. No ordinary
country Office pretends to, or can
compete with us in any line of work.
During the past year three papers
have been printed in the office, each
of different size, style and measure,
none of the same material being used
in any two of them and the adver-
tisements standing for all. We
could print three more-had we
house room-without taxing our
capacity toits full extent, and with
outinterfering with our job business.

The Extension.

The B. q o. is still in a quandary
concerning route from Smithfeld
to Point Marion. The route down
Georges Creek which would bring
the road to the river at Geneva, is
by far the better and nearer than
the one down Grassy run, which
would be by way of Morris Cross
Roads, but the Pennsylvania Com
pany did some work along that route
some years ago as an earnest to hold
possession of the right of way, and
hence the difficulty of getting that
route. If the B. Il O. fails to secure
the right of way on the Georges
Creek route, it will come down Gras-
sy run, but an endeavor is still in
progress to secure the one first men
toned
Meanwhile that portion of the road
from Smithfield to Uniontown is
nearly completed and the rails being
laid, and the work from here to the
Point is going ahead at a steady
rate sufficient to complete it by fall.
Before that time it is reasonably
certain that route from Point Ma
rion to Smithfield will have been de-
cided upon and the contract let.
This distance is so short that it
would take but a short time to do
the work on it when it is found out
just where it is to be done.
The contract for the bridge across
Cheat has not been let. That is
another piece of work that must be
done before the F., M. q p extension
will be completed but tbs considera-
BILE time to Oct. 80, when they say it
will be finished.

The Electric Plant Accepted.

Engineer Harry S. Sands delivered
over to the Morgantown Electric
Light and Power Co., last week, the
plant which he was employed to erect
for that company, and it was accep-
ted as satisfactory and complete in
every respect.
1t is generally conceded that this
is one of the most complete and sub
stantial electric plants in the State,
or any State. 1t has been greatly
admired by all who have inspected
it. Mr.. Sands was given full power
by the company to put in the best
equipped plant obtainable, and ev-
erything about it from the building
to the smallest piece of machinery is
of the latest, most approved, and
most substantial character. 1t is a
pleasure to go into the building and
see the machinery in operation. In
stead of the thunderous roar common
to electric plants it runs as smoothly
and gently as spinning wheel so
that those in the immediate neigh
borhood are not disturbed by it. Not
jar is perceptible in the building
when the machinery is running at
full power, and the light is as steady
as a sunbeam, without flicker or
variance.
Mr.. Sands has proven himself a
first class electrical engineer and has
managed the enterprise from begin
ming to end with skill and judgment.
The company are to be congratulated
on the possession of so complete a
plant, and there is no doubt but that
it will prove a profitable investment.

Last Monday morning quite SEN
sation was caused il this place by the
announcement that Mr.. Joseph
Cheuvront had found in Circuit
Court Clerk Ash's pocket two letters
from Mrs. Cheuvront. who has been
in Baltimore for the past three weeks
receiving MEDICAL treatment, telling
Ash 10 meet her in Cumberland on
Tuesday evening, where they would
stay until Thursday. Mr.. Cheuv-
ront says while his wife does not
sign her name he is convinced that
she wrote the letters. We did not
see the letters, but they are said to
be very sweet.
Mrs. Cheuvront came home Tues
day night and went direct to her
home. One report says that Mr..
Cheuvront has placed the letters in
the hands Of Stuart Il Farr, and or
dered suit for absolute divorce and
also brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages against Mr.. Ash for alternating
his wife's affections.
Our readers will remember that
last summer there was considerable
talk caused by Cheuvront making
the same charges, but he afterward
published card in the papers saying
that he had wrongfully accused them.
Mr.. Cheuvront says that he will
publish the letters in due time
