West Virginia Items.

The Regents of the West Virginia
University have backed down and re-
scinded the recent order to compel
students to attend the chapel exercises.
We think the regents made mistake.
The students no doubt needed that re-
ligious instruction.
The farmhouse Of Rudolph Zeigler,
near Cherry Run, Morgan county,
with contents, was entirely destroyed
by fire, the other night, of supposed
incendiary origin Zeigler was re-
Gently released from jail at Berkeley
Springs, where he served a six months
sentence for the killing of John Saulter.
There was considerable feeling against
him.
While Mrs. William Dolan was
standing near a fire at her home, on
Madison creek, near Huntington, hold
ing her three-months-old baby, her
clothing ignited and she and the child
were enveloped in flames. She tossed
the little one on to bed and ran for
cistern near her home. She leaped
into this, but when taken out she was
unconscious. Her injuries are fatal.
The baby was badly burned about the
face, but may recover.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the silver mine near Spring
field, Hampshire county. A Pitts
burg man has been mining there for
some time, and it reported that he
now employees men to guard the mine
day and night 1t is reported that
many years ago an old gunsmith was
in the habit Of going to that neighbor-
hood and securing silver with which to
ornament guns but died with out di-
vulging the place where he procured 1t.
Last Friday Marion Tudor and
Abraham Forshee, both wealthy farm
ers, of Lincoln county, quaweled over
a stock deal which was made few
days previous. The men came to
blows, when some laborers rushed up
and separated them Tudor retreat
ed a few steps, and picking up pitch
fork made rush for his antagonist
and thrust the weapon into Forshee' s
body several times, inAicting injuries
which may prove fatal Forshee lost
one of his eyes in the struggle, and
Tudor is now under arrest.
Two miles south of Dunlow, Oh the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, three
children of Sheridan Moore, were
burned to death in a barn near their
home. One was boy aged eight, and
the other two were girls aged eight
and ten. They left the house and
went to the barn to play. Soon af-
terward the mother looked from the
door and saw flames leaping from the
roof of the barn. With an ak she
knocked board from the side of the
burning building only to be driven
back by the flames She could not
save her children. The charred re-
mains of the little ones were found
next morning.

During the winter Of 1898, F NJ.
Martin, of Long Reach, West Va,
contracted a severe cold which left
him with a cough. In speaking of
how he cured it he says: Il used sew
eral kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until l bought bottle Of

relieved me almost instantly, and in
a short time brought about complete
cure. When troubled with cough
or cold use this remedy and you will
not find it necessary to try several
kinds before you get relief. 1t has

The voters of Jefferson county will
do well to carefully consider who shall
represent them in the Legislature next
session. The last Legislature left our
State affairs in badly muddled con-
dition, and there will be need of our
best men at the next session to straight
en- up past mistakes and avoid new
ones. We will need careful, level
headed business men whose known abil-
ity shall be an evidence of their fit
ness to attend to the States business.
Besides these general qualifications,
Jefferson county ought to send con-
servative Democrat with proper ideas
Of political necessities-one whose
course will be directed toward building
up the party instead of disintegrahng
it.
We throw out these suggestions with
the hope that the voters will carefully
consider before they promise their sup
port to any candidate.

Poor Indeed +!

There are degrees and kinds of poverty, just
as there are differences OF opinion among
those who compute and measure poverty and
riches by different standards. Some men
deem themselves poor because they are less
rich than Others, again there are compare
lively poor people who are satisfied with
competence. There is a kind OF poverty for
which no amount OF wealth can compensate.
namely, a poverty OF bodily stamina, evinced
by nervousness and a arrangement of the
functions OF digestion, bilious secretion and
the bowels. To restore vigor upon perma-
nent basis there is one remedy that fully
covers the requirements, fills the bill" and
this is Hostetters stomach BitterS. By re-
storing digestion, giving healthful impulse
to the action OF the bowels and liver and
tranquiliZing the nerves, IL tnlnIls the con-
dition necessary to a resumption OF strength
by the system. 1t also overcomes malaria
and rheumatism.

THE President has appointed Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee to be consul-gener-
al Of the United States at Havana.
The war between the Spanish and
Cuban forces over the island of Cuba,
and the inclination of the United
States to interfere in the struggle,
makes this position an important and
a delicate one. General Lee has an
opportunity to add greatly to his rep
utation.
