A Big Undertaking.

One of the largest and grandest
projects of the Masonic fraternity
of this or any other country is now
being seriously discussed among
leading Masons in various portions
of the United States, which, If once
consummated, will undoubtedly
prove the best and most lasting
monument ever erected and dedi-
Gated by this noble order, and be a
fitting finale to the work of the
closing century.
They are planning the establish
ment of a great National University,
for both sexes, to be controlled by
and in the interest of all Masons,
with permanent endownment of
not less than s5O,OOO,OOO, at which
the children of all Master Masons,
whatever their means, can secure
complete education, from the age of
10 years and upward, along any
line of instruction which they may
desire
The scheme contemplates the
erection of a sufficient number of
fire proof university buildings to
accommodate 10000 students, the
establishment of a preparatory or
academic department., and depart
ments, of liberal arts, law, medi-
cine, science, theology and tech
nology; also an industrial school.
thus being true university.
While the child of no living or dead
Master Mason will be refused ad-
mission to the institution on account
of lack of means, it will be in no
sense a home or charitable institu-
ton.
The plan contemplates, further,
uniforming of all students, the
boarding and roofing of them with
in the university grounds, and the
erection of homes for all such
parents as are not willing to be sep.
arated from their children during
their term of education; such houses
to be transferred to other parents
when no longer needed. The loca-
tion agreed upon for the institution
is beautiful tract of elevated land
on the Ohio river, near the West
Virginia line, facing the Ohio river
for three miles. The projectors an
ticipate no difficulty in securing the
necessary endowment, in fact, they
assert, the idea has met with an
enthusiastic reception from all
Masons who have been consulted.
All good Masons and the public
generally should encourage the
undertaking.-Oil Review.

Kanawha Gazette.
There was considerable surprise
created iu business circles yesterday
morning when it was learned that
the dry goods firm of Rand & Gosh
orn had made an assignment to
Judge c. P. Snyder, for the benefit
of the firms creditors. A Gazette
reporter called on Judge Snyder
yesterday afternoon to learn some
thing about the amount of the la
bilities and assets of the firm but
that gentleman said he was unable
to give the desired information as
be had not had time to look into
the matter. He placed c. C. Rand
in charge of the store and last night
the work of invoicing the stock was
begun. Mr.. Rand, the head of the
firm was also seen by Gazette re-
porter and to him Mr.. Rand said
that he did not know the exact
amount of the firms liabilities, but
thought it to be somewhere near
100000. The assignment was caus-
ed by hard times and the inability
of the firm to collect outstanding
money. The deed of assignment
does not give the amount of the
firms indebtedness nor the names
of any of the creditors The heav-
lest creditor is the Kanawha Valley
bank, which holds a large amount
of the firms paper.

But when It's awful burning hot,
And sultry winds the parched earth kiss
In case you are not clear forgot
You get a little chunck like this:

The Salvation Army leaders have
come to the conclusion that his sa-
tanic majesty is too swift to be
caught by infantry, so they have
organized a mounted battalion, and
are going to persue him on horse
back. This announcement will
cause considerable agitation in the

are that the old fellow will soon
have some method of rapid transit
ready, that will keep just little
ahead of the sanctiied calvalry.

1 think 1 am more grateful to
God for the sense that came to me
through my mother and sisters OF
substantial integrity, purity and no
bility of womanhood than for almost
anything else in this world. After
long life l can say that l have not
lost faith in woman. The longer |
live the more chivalric is my regard
for them. / should look upon it as
fatal canker in my soul if 1 fell
from my confidence in the general
trustworthiness, honesty, honor and
chastity of womanhood. There.
fore when l hear young men, cast
gross aspersions on the character of
women, l feel as though l were in a
den of kissing serpents. My soul,
come not into communication with
such men, abhor them, pass by
them, for they are themselves far
down in corruption. If L hear a
man speak contemptuous words of
women, my heart sighs at the
thought he had a mother whose
memory he insults.-Selected.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. 1t
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly

Burglary.

Lee Arrington's store on this

a night or two ago, and lot of
jewelry and groceries taken. There
seems TO be a regular organized
band of thieves across the river in
Ohio, who have confederates on
this side, who are giving the
farmers on the lower end of the
county lots of trouble by their
stealing. q little hemp extended
to them in a"dignified expression OF

good effect.

A Great Political Fighter.


tury comes to be written, the man
who shall hold the first place will be
Mathew Stanley Quay, of Pennsyl-
vania. Qnay entered politics dur
ing the war as private secretary to
governor Curtin. In 1867 as a
member of the Pennsylvania legis-
lature Quay took an active hand in
opposing Simon Cameron for the
United States Senate, and Cameron,
who was not lacking in shrewdness,
at once sought out the young man
and made Quay his friend and con-
fident.
From that time Quay became
identified with the Camerons in
Pennsylvania and Republican poll
tics, Don Cameron taking the place
of his old Scotch father.
Early in the eighties, however,
rival leaders had arisen in the State.
One of them was c. L. Magee, of
Pittsburg, who disputed with Quay
for the younger Cameron's favor.
The decision came in 1884, when
Cameron, who was a member of the
National Republican Committee,
sailed for Europe, leaving his proxy
in the hands of Magee. That seemed
to settle the question; Quay had been
turned down.
In 1885 State Treasurer was to
be chosen-a position of great i'm
portance for political manipulation.
Magee, flushed with his success,
announced that he favored the nom
ination of James McDevitt, of Ian
caster. Quay met the issue braveiy.
He declared that he himself was a
candidate for the place and having
preserved the political correspond
ence for the previous 20 years, was
able to make personal appeals to
those who had received favors from
him. In some cases he wrote on
the backs of these old letters. Quay
was nominated and elected. In
1887 he was chosen to the U. S.
Senate, made Chairman of the
National Republican Committee in
1888, and in 1898 was re elected to
the U. S. Senate.
During the Harrison Administra-
tion Quay had dictated most of the
appointments in Pennsylvania.
He and Magee had become recon
ciled. In Philadelphia Quay had
made David Martin his chief lieu
tenant and with his increased
political activity Martin had grown
rich.
Last spring this man Martin be-
gan conspiracy against Quay.
The latter suspicioned nothing until
the Republicans of Philadelphia met
to nominate Mayor and other .nu-
nicipal officers. Martin she we'd
Magee what an allian,r with him
would mean. Magee ned the
conspiracy. Martin and Magee call
ed the attention of Governor Hast
ings to the fact that they favored
him for presidency and Hasting be-
came partner of the two bosses.
Half a dozen millionairs of Phila
delphia were led to believe individ-
ualIy that Phlladelphian should
succeed Don Cameron in the United
States Senate. That made power
full combination cosisting of unscru-
pulous men and liberal and rich
men, and the Republican "ma-
chimes" of Pittsburg and Philadel-
phia.

Farmers, Dry You Apples.

The farmers of West Virginia
have by far the largest apple crop
which they have had for years and
large sums of money can be brought
among our people if the apples are
dried. Exporters and shippers are
sending out circulars to our whole
sale men, requesting them to urge
the farmers to dry all the apples
possible, as the export orders are
exceedingly large, beside there are
many sections in the United States
in which the crop is failure.
Apples can be dried with little
labor, and there being no market
for them when fresh, except along
the railroads, every dollar received
for the dried fruit will be clear
saving. Besides there are quanti-
ties of the apples which will not
keep through the winter.
They apportioned the prospective
spoils among themselves as so many
Roman conquorers. They meant to
divide the whole earth. This gave
them the appropriate name of the
"Hog Combine" against Mathew
Stanley Quay. They made their
threats and their boasts. But the
"silent man from Beaver" over
whelmed them. His victory at the
Republican State Convention last
Wednesday at Harrisburg is de.
clared to be the most remarkable
and substantial ever won in politics.
1t makes Quay supreme with the
Pennsylvania Republicans. 1t calls
attention to Quay as a most potent
factor at the next national Republi-
can convention.-Ex
