The name of Hatfield was famil-
one in Morgantown so years age and
many Of our older residents still re
member the name and family, Al
fred Griffith Hatfield who was born
in Morgantown, Nov. 7th, 1s49, has
since attained prominence in the
theatrical professional, for number
of years he was the leading comedi-
an with various large companies In
the year 1867 he organized the Al.
G. Field operate Minstrels. At the
head of this Company, he toured
the United States; after two years
he added European Adjunct of
fine specialties importing several of
the leading actors of the old world.
Among whom were the celebrated
French Family of Alvaradoes must
cal genius also the Mignani Family,
Edward Estus made his first Ameri-
can appearance with this Company
as did Cradoc aud Korollos Family.
The AL. G. Field Minstrels soon be-
come the leading Company of Amer
lea and is to-day the largest enter
tainment of the kind in the world.
1t requires two large 20 foot cars to
transport the scenery and effects
required to give the performance of
this Company. The Company has
been playing in Baltimore, Washing
ton, Philadelphia, New York City
and Boston nearly all winter. 1t is
greatly to the credit of Manager
Somehow that he has secured this
the largest Company of its kind for
date in Morgantown. 1t has long
been the desire of the manager of
this colossal Company to visit the
town of his birth. Although it has
been years since he was here he has
kept up friendship with many OF
our citizens and some of our people
have journeyed to Pittsburg and
Uniontown in years gone by to see
the AL. G. Field Minstrels. That
will not be necessary hereafter as the
show will be here ON March 10th.
The name of Field was adopted by
Mr.. Hatfield when he entered the
theatrical profession.

Roaming with Smiles

Are the countenances of people who
have found speedy and thorough re-
lief from malarial, kidney, bilious,
dyspeptic or nervous troubles through
the aid of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Such countenances are very nu-
merous. So are letters from their
owners attesting the efficacy Of the
great family medicine. Among the
signals of distress thrown out by the
stomach, bowels and liver in a state of
disorder, are sick headache, heartburn,
nausea, loss Of appetite, sallowness of
the skin and eyeballs, and an uncer-
tain state of the bowels. They should
be needed at once. If the Bitters are
resorted to, the woe begone look which
accompanied sickness will give way to
to cheerful looks produced by renewed
health. If you are drifting on the
coast of disease, throw an anchor to
windward by summoning the Bitters
to your assistance. 1t will keep you
in safety.

New Regents Bill.

Such storm of indignant protest
was raised over the proposition to
change the composition of the board
of regents from its present non-par-
tisan construction to one composed
of six Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis that the pending bill was
amended. 1t only provides for re-
organization of the present board by
making their terms expire on Mar.
10. The law as amended will mere
ly allow Governor Atkinson appoint
a new board if it be his pleasure to
do so. That he will do SO isextreme-
ly likely as very great influence is
being brought to bear on him to i'm
pei him to this step.
The new board will consist of five
Republicans and four Democrats.
This change of plan removes the OBJ
lection on the ground Of partisan
ship which were raised against the
proposed law. However it is de-
batable question whether it would
not have been better to have allow
ed its political complexion to have
changed in the natural course OF
events.
Among the commendable features
of the bill is that one providing for
resident regent. Experience has
amply demonstrated that such a re-
gent should be appointed. Many
mistakes would not be made if such
were in effect and the entire board
would act much more advisedly. 1t
is nov pretty generally conceded
that Hon. George G. Sturgiss will
receive shis appointment. This
choice would be an excellent one in
every wap and if it is already deter
mined upon an excellent nucleus for
a new board is already secured.
1t is to be hoped that Gov. At
kinson will appoint broadminded
men who are not SO tinged with
partisanshlp that their every move
will show it. If they can after their
terms expire make the proud boast
of the present board that a partisan
vote never decided any measure they
will that far do WELL The eyes Of
the epsire state is upon them and
any mistake they may make will
have to be heavily paid for. 1t is
the earnest hope of every friend of
the institution that they may work
for the good of the school. We
think they will, but they are respect
fully advised that the University is
an exceedingly delicate and COM
plicated piece of machinery. Go
slow; go exceedingly slow.

Georgetown Notes and Comments.

OEORGETOWN, w. VA, Mar. L.
There has been more sickness in our
vicinity during February than for
years, mostly grip. The atmosphere
seems to be full OF this deceitful dis
ease, its attacks are in the shape of a
cold and many persons allow it to run
on until it undermines the health and
developes into pneumonia, fever, con-
sumption or something else equally as
bad.
The good times are coming SO says
some of our grand old party leaders
here. That was what they told us
four or five months ago, if we would
only help them elect Mckinley. Well
Mckinley was elected and il any
body can show any signs of that good
change please let him speak up we
will gladly listen.
We have few sales to note. Major
d. B, Stewart has sold his farm OF
about l31 acres for $50 per acre. H.
N. M. Chips was the purchaser.
Certainly this was fine sale, as it
will take about $40 per acre to put
farm and buildings in good repair. 1t
will then be very desirable farm.
II. N. M. Chips sold the farm to G.
j. Michael and son, price not public.
q. M. Barker sold 20 acres of land to
Davy Michael fot $500 and half inter-
LIST in Pittsburg vein of coal.
A. S. Roby, our harness maker had
a sale the goth ult, selling off the
odds and ends of his shop. 1t was a
cash sale and things sold fairly well.
z. M. Barker and Son had an auction
the same day selling off some of their
old goods. We learn they will close
out their store this spring.
W. l. Conway, our new merchant is
hustler and is selling plenty of
goods.
We understand our county court
has passed an order that all two day
hands shall work three days this year
and work out lac road tax, and pay
lie in money and let the road
machine rest one year. This IL cents
is to help pay for the new bridge on
Dunkard.
Did there ever come together a
body Of men who so wilfully and de-
liberately set aside the wishes of their
friends as did the Republican execu-
tive COMMITTEE of our county. This
committee consists of 81 members, S
or 8 were absent or refused to take
any part when they saw how the ma
chine was to be run. We see IA or
Is did the work. OF these I or 8
were applicants for postofflces, and by
we'll manipulated scheme by voting
for each other and even for themsel-
yes, they got the nominations, The
remainder was divided out to their
best interests. They gave one Of
their members the recommendation
who lived over 2 miles from the post
office, knowing that IL he got the
Office it would go into the hands of a
Democrat, and his clerk should be the
assistant postmaster, and that he,
the appointee, and the Democrat,
would divide the proceeds.
Will some good friend tell us who
served as governor OF West Virginia
for only six days ? And who was
the first governor Of West Virginia :?
Major Mckinley is surely trying to
make times good the way he and his
wife are preparing for the 4th inst.
u. B. Stewart has sale the 18th

major will 60 to Morgantown the LIST

PLATT SUCCESSFUL

The nomination Of General Tracy for
mayor Of New York Is a triumph Of the
Republican machine. and consequently
of the great trusts which have their
headquarters in that city. The presence
of Lauterback In the convention and the
prominence given him by maxi
ing him chairman OF the COM
mittee on resolutions, proves un.
mistakably the domination of the
Plat machine. Lauterback has long
been Platt's man Friday. The pres
ence and prominence Of Depew is not
only proof of the control of Plattism,
but also Of the influence Of the trusts.
The nomination Of Ashbel P. Fitch,
gold Democrat, for comptroller on the
motion Of Depew is sop to the faction
calling itself national Democracy.
The trend of events is towards COM
bination of the friends of goldism and of
the trusts. The gold Democrats are
wholly letting go of their tariff ideas in
order to maintain meager money vol
ume. which is especially beneficial to the
trusts. All opponents of reform and
measures for improvement of the con-
dition of the masses are inevitably con-
verging into one political organization
and the friends Of broader and better
policies are gradually drifting into an
other. The various factions or parties
will speedily merge into two great par
ties. between which the battle for and
against larger popular recognition will
be fought out.
If General Tracy is elected Platt will be
triumphant and the vast patronage Of
the city, the state and national govern
ments will be dispensed by one mind
and hand. This, with control Of the ex-
penditure Of the immense municipal rev.
enues, will constitute him the most po-
tential boss America has ever seen. He
will not need money to carry on the
campaign. The trusts will put it up as
freely as they did last year for Hanna.
The thumbscrew of state and national
government will be applied with unre-
lenting vigor. The virtue Of the people
of that great city will be sorely tested.
The good people of the nation may well
watch the conflict with the deepest anx-
iety. The result of the election will have
an important influence upon the future
of the whole country. Nothing can be
worse than the rule of Platt, for he will
carry his schemes into state and ma
tional politics and will undertake and
nees and policy of his party. The good
of the country cuts no figure with him:
power is what he wants, aud he fully
realizes that it is achieved through
money and patronage.
