The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-12-15

AM newspaper OF Quiet puOllc8-
ton you may want sent you in con-
nection with the NEW DOMINION at a
saving Of from % cents to $1.00.
A RESIDENT of Washington, Pa, is
one of the heirs to the estate of Mrs.
Youmans, wife of Prof. Edward L.
Youmans, late editor of the Popular
Science Monthly. There are eight
heirs
A STONE front may be put on the
new Brock Reed and Wade building
At least the matter has been under
consideration. IF the change is
made it will add greatly to the cost
Of the building, also to its beauty.
The stores are full of the CONNER
cial signs Of the approaching holiday
season, and the New DOMINION is full
of the evidences of the enterprise
which takes advantage of the best
medium to let the people know what
to buy and where to buy it.
LOCAL building associations are
the best; at least these Of Morgan
town are. They are managed with
such care that so far the losses are
not worth mentioning. And they
are conducted with less expense than
any other financial institutions of
equal size ia the United States.
PROSPECTIVE political announce
ments are John Z. Price for the coun-
ty clerkship and w. H. Bailey for
the sherifalty nominations in the Re
publican primary in the spring of
49, That is a good way off, certain
ly, but still the boys are already be-
ginning to find out where they "are
at.
The three acts Of Hazel Kirke
which Col. Elliott will give at Com
mencement Hall tonight will be:
Act 1.-The miller's cottage. The
fathers curse. Act II.-Scene /;
Carringford's Chateau. The revela-
ton. Scene 2. Interior of the mil
ler's cottage at night Hazel's re-
turn. The blind miller. Act III
The next morning. The forgiveness.
"AlPs well that ends we'll"
THE county court last Friday
awarded the contract for a 9-feet,
sharp picket iron fence to Capt n.
d. Helmick, of Palatine, for $l75.
The fence is to be put up on the east
side of the county Jail so that per-
sons cannot have communication
with prisoners except by permit of
the jail authorities. This is the
fence the New DOMINION spoke of
last week, as likely to be contracted
for by Capt. Helmiek.
CARLT N. REAY sold 16 head of
stock, divided equally as to horses
and cows, last Thursday. The horses
were all trotting bred, averaging
three years in age and $75 in price
The COWS averaged about $35. and
all we're Jerseys. 1t was the cheap
est lot of blooded colts ever sold in
Monongalia. Horse dealers can see
an upward tendency in horse prices
in the distance, but it was not at all
evident at the sale
TIE prospect for organizing the
club here, spoken of last week,
are bright, and there is no doubt it
will be go this time. Quarters
have not been secured so far, nor
will they be till the membership
number intended originally is as
sured But that will not long be
matter of speculation This move
ment is nearer successful issue
than has been similar one for
years. Several attempts at club or
ganization have failed. This one
has not, nor is it likely to.
WHEN you talk about counterfeit
money being in circulation around
here the people become incredulous.
They scarcely believe it. But wheth-
er they do or not, it is true, never
theless. Several, in fact, a great
many spurious metal dollars and
50-eent pieces have been circulated
in town recently. People have tried
to pass them who did not discover
they had been bilked till they took
close looks at the money. Look out
for these bogus coins. They are
here, seemingly in plenty.
WHEN the county court meets in
regular session next month it will be
slightly differently constituted than
it was at the session adjourned last
Friday. Joel Bowlby, recently cleo
ted, qualified as member of the
court, and after the first of the year
he will be authorized to assist in the
performance of its legitimate func-
tions, relieving E. w. Brand who has
served on the Board of Commission
ers continuously since 1888.
THE beautiful cutting and artistic
carving of the stone that went and is
going into the Second National bank
building is much admired, and is far
and away the finest that was ever
done here, and the work was all done
in South Morgantown. 1t may be
interesting to know that this work
was all done by Scotchmen and Eng
lishmen at $3.50 and 81 day. They
were evidently protected" but where
is the protection to American work
men?
THERE will be some shows in Mu-
sic Hall next spring. Work on that
portion of the building is going on
at more rapid rate than on the re
mainder Morgantown will be con
venient and profitable stopping point
for companies going from Uniontown
to Fairmont, Wheeling, Grafton or
Parkersburg, or from the latter
named towns to points below. With
a theater here in years gone by dra-
matte companies coming to Morgan
town would have been compelled to
travel the same route going and com
ing, making the trip especially, which
would have secured but cheap lot
of attractions, but now, having a
through line, it will be vastly differ
ent. Not many weeks to wait, either.
