The fish-pots on Cheat river did
not prove much Of a success this sea-
son, owing to several reasons. The
water did not raise often, the logs did
some damage to the pots and there
were some faults in the mechanism
of the pots that the boys will profit
by next year.
Charley" the old family horse,
belonging to Hon. VIM. G. Brown,
is dead. He was thirty years OF age

seeing him ride abont on this hand
some white horse. Junior Brown

head upon straw and saw ssgharlie"

THESE items are from the Fairmont
West Virginian:
William Huffman, of Morgantown,
was the guest of relatives here the
first of the week.
Harvey Hawkins has returned to
this place from Monongalia county,
where he had been for some time.
He has secured a situation in the
electric light plant of Fairmont.
1t is gratifying to know that G. |.
Mcdonald, the contractor, is going to
begin work on our locks and dams at
once. We had supposed that nothing
would be done in that direction before
next spring, but Mr.. Mcdonald an
nounces that work will be the order
from now until the improvement is
completed. We are perfectly willing
for him to proceed as indicated. 1t
had been the talk all along that the
upper dam, to be built near Hoult-
town, would be first tackled, but it
may be the last as the contractor is
beginning operations at Little Falls
bet wixt and between.

A stomachful Of undigested foot


A stomachful of undigested food
is about as unhealthy mess as one
can well imagine.
What can be done with it?
There it stays. 1t won't digest.
1t churns ZIP, ferments and decays;
becomes poisonous Gas all putrid
matter does and causes great pain
and deep-seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t stops fermentation and decay
at once, go that no more poisons are
created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons
already there 1t helps to turn the
food that remains, into healthful
nonrishment. It strengthens the
stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure Of indigestion in few words.
And what's more it's all true. Try 1t.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for
sale BY druggists, price 10 cents to
n 90 ! bottle.

Morgan Case.

RIPLEY, w. Va, Nov. 29.-Gov-
ernor Atkinson's decision not to in
terfere in the Morgan case was re-

Virginia University is entirely In the
upper classes, the number in the Pre-
paratory School being about thirty
less than last year. The upper class

sires to cooperate with the State Nor

offered, therefore, for the summer
quarter, which will begin July l.
This feature will be emphasized for
the benefit of teachers.
The extension of the course in the
Preparatory School of the West Vir-
ginia University makes it necessary
that there be corresponding ex-
tension of the courses of secondary
schools that desire to be classed as
accredited" A committee of the
faculty, composed of Professors
Hodges, Woolery and Miller, has
charge of this important matter.
Correspondence on this subject
should be addressed to one of these

Board of Regents, arrangements
have been made for operating the
iron foundry in the Mechanical de-
partment of the West Virginia Uni
versity during the winter quarter
This foundry was equipped from APP.

is the first time that it has been
possible to operate it for purposes of
instruction in foundry practice,
moulding and casting. All second
year and more advanced students in
Mechanic Arts and Mechanical En-
gineering will have opportunity to
take this course. This shop work
will be taken under commercial con-
ditions, local foundryman having
been granted concessions by the
University to carry on his work of
manufacturing iron castings in the
Mechanical department, and in
which work the students will take
an active part.
The Shakespeare course offered by
