pleased'to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the

medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires Il con-
stitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
The meeting of the Board of Regents
of the Normal Schools was held on
Wednesday, all the members being
present. The old teachers for Shep-
herd College were reelected, and the
same faculties were retained also for
Concord School and Marshall College
at Huntington; VIM. J. Holden was
elected principal of Chenille school,
Thos. L. Davis first assistant, T. j.
Hardman second assistant, and Miss
Jessie Norris third assistant; J. n.
Deahl was reelected principal of West
Liberty school, and Miss Callie Curtis,
T. G. Quinn and S. S. Jacobs, Jr.,
assistants the Fairmont faculty was
reelected with one exception, Mrs.
Dickey Fleming and j. E. Mercer
being added as assistants. There was
some slight Encouragement of salaries
of the teachers.
Mr.. Frank E. Davis, of Baltimore,
the architect of the board, presented
his plans for the new building for
Shepherd College, for which $4,000
was appropriated by the late Legisla-
ture. After consultation with the
local executive committee the board
adopted the plans, which provide for
a rather handsome brick building two
stories high, with shapely tower on
one corner. 1t contains eight rooms,
one of which, the study hall, is a large
apartment on the first floor. The
building is to be set in the middle of
the lot, which will throw it back about
60 feet from King street and 70 or
IS from High street. Bids for its
construction will be asked for as soon
as the architect can finish the plans
and specifications.

THE TURNING OF THE TIDE.


Almost the first half Of the present
administration was time of Disaster
industrial, financial and political. The
Republicans asserted that calamity was
the natural consequence of Democratic
rule. The Democrats declared that
the fabric of national prosperity had
been so undermined by years of Re-
publican misrule that the structure
tottered and fell before it could be
shored up. They promised that
through their efforts it should be re-
built on a firm and lasting foundation
and the end of the second full fiscal
wear of Democratic control justifes the
promise.
The three great achievements OF
Democratic policy-the repeal of the
Sherman act, the repeal of the McKin-
lev tariff and the re-establishment OF
the gold reserve, took effect about a
year ago. Each was bitterly opposed
both within and without the party
but what result have they wrought?
A year ago prices were lower than
had ever been known industry was
paralyzed mills and factories were
idle and hundreds and thousands OF
working men were on the verge OF
starvation. Today the prices Of all
our staple products have advanced
materially; manufacturing establish
ments of all sorts are in operation or
are rapidly resuming work ; and every
day bring new notices of the voluntary
increase Of wages in every sort of pro-
ductive enterprise. A year ago we
were undergoing the slow process of
recuperation from panic; credit was
shaken, the money market contracted
and the national treasury all but bank
rupt Today confidence is restored
money is plentiful for those whose
credit is good and the gold reserve
the backbone of our ill-constructed
financial system-is stronger than 1t
has been for years.
A year ago the PROJECT before the
Democratic party seemed all but hope
less. We had lost Congress. The adj
vocates of an inflated currency and al
manner of populistic heresies preached
their insidious doctrines without let OIL
hindrance and the only Democratic
voices to be heard in the land were
uplifted in fierce denunciation Of al
administration which was charged
with every species of perfdy and
treachery.
Today tone of confidence and hope
pervades the whole party; and the
first real contest, preliminary to The
final alignment of our forces against
the common enemy next year, has re-
suited in the full vindication Of the
patriotism, wisdom and loyalty of the
administration.
The tide has turned, and it now
sets strongly towards national prosper
ity and Democratic success; for the
history of the past and the experience
of the present alike show that these
two must ever flourish together.

served to the Numerous guests, the re-
freshments being of the most delicious
character. The hall was very taste
fully decorated-the stage bower of
beauty. The whole affair was delight
full in every respect, and did full jus
tice to even Shepherdstowns proverb-
ial hospitality. Our guests apprecia-
ted it to the utmost, and We are sure,
from the expressions we have heard,
that they will carry away with them
pleasant impressions ofShepherdstown
that will not soon be forgotten.
Wednesday mornings session was
opened with singing by the association
and prayer by Rev. Charles Ghiselin.
A motion was made and carried that
this body wire greeting to the Pennsyl-
vania Teachers Association in session
at Mt. Gretna. Prof. R. A. Riggs read
a paper on "How to Manage Truants
and Incorrigibles, which provoked a
lively discussion, participated in by
Messrs. Harris, Crago, DR.. Quarles,
Darnall, Davies, Sweeney and Miss
Burke. Miss Irene Myers presented
in a most interesting manner the sub
ject Of English Literature in the
Schools of West Virginia. Discussed
by Messrs. Miller and Harris.
At the afternoon meeting Prot. Mil
Ter ably presented the subject, "What
Should be Added to the Essential
Branches of the Elementary Course of
Study to Meet the Industrial Needs
of Different Localities" Discussed by
Thos. E. Hodges.
Waitman Barbe, field agent of the
West Virginia University, was intro
duced and gave an interesting talk on
Higher Education" He was elo-
quent on his subject and put in his
best work for the University. GLOW
Should Normal School Students Ac-
quire Methods of Teaching" was dis
cussed by Principals Deahl, Barnes,
Hodges, Sweeney, Crago, Miller and
Cornwell, DR.. Goodnight, Mr.. Harris,
DR.. Quarles, Mr.. Wilkinson and Mr..
Davies. 1t was one Of the most inter
esting features of the entire session
and the discussion was very spirited.
DR.. j. A. Quarles, Professor Of
Moral Philosophy at Washington and
Lee University, Lexington, Va, de-
livered an address before the associa-
ton Wednesday night. His subject
was primary schools and teachers, and
he spoke earnestly and eloquently.
He pleaded for the very best teachers
and the most elevating influences in
primary schools, for the impressions
made upon the young children are
those that form their characters. His
excellent address was listened to by a
large audience. 1t made a marked
impression OH the teachers.

RANDOM NOTES.

Rev. DR., J. L. Goodnight, the new
president of the West Virginia Uni
versity, is among the visitors. D1.
Goodnight is very hopeful over the
outlook for the University the coming
year. There is a friendly feeling for
it among the people and press of the
entire State; the board of regents
seems determined to give it every ad-
vantage in their power; the equip
ment is far better than ever before,
and is really second in quality to none;
the faculty is united and harmonious
and imbued with a common ambition
to push the work of the school with
more energy and earnestness than ever
before. In a word, prospects are bril-
liant for the future Of the University,
and it is undoubtedly entering upon
a new era of prosperity and useful
ness.
The members of the association and
the visitors here this week are all
most complimentary in their express
sions concerning their stay in our
town. They are pleased with their
daily work here, with the quaint old
village and the beautiful country sur
rounding it, and with our people.
And they say, having tested Shep-
herdstown hospitality, that they have
never found anything more enjoyable.
1t will not be hard matter to induce
them to return. We assure our visitors
that our people have enjoyed their
presence, and if they shall carry away
as pleasant recollections as we shall
retain, their gathering will long be re-
membered.
Of the original members of the ed
ucational association when it was or
ganized twenty-five years ago, three
are present at this meeting. They are
Profs. F. H. Crago, A. L. Wade and
T. c. Miller. 1t is apparent that the
two former are well past the middle
milestone of life, but they are never
theless among the most active and en-
thusiastic of the members. Prof. Crago,
who is principal of ward school in
Wheeling, has missed but three meet
ings of the association.
Prof. A. c. Kimler, principal OF
Shepherd College, presented each
member of the association with a
souvenir in the shape of a block OF
wood taken from a tree on Antietam
battlefield, in which was embedded a
bullet from the same place. 1t makes
a unique paper-weight and is an in
teresting memento of the great battle
and this meeting. The teachers great
ly appreciate the gift. We thank
Prof. Kimler for our specimen.
One of the young ladies of the as
sociation-from Grafton or Fairmont

fire engine with great interest. She

To those who love the Democratic
party, and regard its success as a
guaranty of the growth and increase
of national prosperity and happiness,
the State campaign closed last week
in Kentucky is the most significant
and encouraging event of the current
year. 1t was fought solely on the sill
yer issue. The advocates of free COIN
age boldly asserted that unless the
party should espouse their cause, it
would lose every western and southern
State. Senator Blackburn, one of
Kentucky's most beloved and distin-
guished sons, who is a candidate for
reelection to the Senate, based his
whole claim to the support Of his peo-
pie on his advocacy of free-coinage.
Chief among those on the other side
was John G. Carlisle, the man who
for months has been denounced as a
turn-coat and the subservient tool of a
President who is himself said to be
the creature and slave of Wall street.
A fierce and bitter fight was made
upon this silver issue and upon the
policy of the national administration,
and with what RESULT Out of eleven
districts in the State, the free-silver
anti-administration faction carried
three; and among those they lost was
Senator Blackburn own district. And
the convention has adopted resolutions
in favor of sound money as opposed to
free-coinage, and endorsing the Cleve-
land administration.
The lessons of warning and encour-
agement to be drawn from this result
are many; but the most important
among them concern the free-coinage
craze. The outcome of the Kentucky
campaign shows that while our people
may for while be misled by promises
Of Astounding prosperity to result from
an increase in our currency, they will
firmly turn their backs upon such
promises, when the means Of fulfill
ment involve the debasement of that
currency and the reputation of just
debts. 1t shows that they cannot be
misled upon economic questions by
mere plausible sophistries and heated
defamation, when they have the OPP
portunity to listen to plain truths
clearly presented and logically dealt
with; for the tide began to turn after
the very first of the mastery speeches
delivered by Carlisle. 1t shows, furth-
ermore, that the silver craze which it
was feared would wreck the party,
whether it yielded to it or repudiated
it, will have lapsed into utter insignif-
cence by the time the next national
convention meets.
Altogether the Kentucky State Con-
vention of 1895 is an event upon which
every loyal Democrat and believer in
sound money may heartily congratu-
late himself and the country. And
even many of the present advocates
of free-coinage will no doubt see here
after how much there is to be thank
full for in this first indication of turn
of the tide in favor of Democracy and
honest money, against populism and
reputation.

We gather from an article IN the
Kanawha gazette that the bust of the
late Senator Kenna by Sculptor Alex

exhibition at Charleston, is not alto

fail to see likeness to the person it is

quently efforts were made to get him
to make one manly utterance on the

do it. He thought he was fooling the
Californians; they laughed at him
when he left. And the West and the

professions of personal strength il
