This story is used to illustrate the
power of human habits, and to speak
particularly to those who are annoyed
with the coffee habit which is the cause
of an immense amount of sickness, the
coffee never being suspected. Chem
lists find the same poisonous alkaloids
in coffee as in strychnine, tobacco and
morphine.
It is easy to quit coffee by adopting
the delicious health coffee made of the
grains, wheat, &C., &C. Postum Cereal
has the deep seal brown color of fine
Mocha and changes to the rich golden
brown of old Java when cream is
added. Its fragrance and flavor are
charming.
When coffee is left off and Postum
put in its place the old troubles of the
body disappear. and under the true
nourishment of the food drink, new
vitality, strength and ruddy color of
health quickly appear Postum makes
red blood for adults and children, and
is most grateful change from berry
coffee, the new beverage having every
thing in it's favor and none of the hurt

Work on the new court house has
been suspended until spring.
The new Baptist church in Morgan
town was dedicated last Sunday morn
ing. This is one of the finest church
es in the state, costing over SIS, 900.
The principal sermon was delivered by
Rev. DR.. Stanton, who was assisted
in the dedication by all of the minis
tiers of the city.
They have good prospects Of getting
the bridge over Deckers creek in Nor
gantown. The necessary land has
been purchased and all awaits the ac-
ton of the county court The citi-
zens of Morgantown want the work to
begin at once, but the county court
will not let the contract for the piers
before spring. These county courts
are awfully in the way sometimes.
Although the lady audiences in
Fairmont, as a rule, have mastered
the art of removing their hats during
a performance, thereby making them
selves and those behind decidedly
mere comfortable there are some
who still do not make habit of Civ
ing those behind them full view of
the stage. For these forgetful ladies
the manager of the opera house has
had printed cards which read: "You
are respectfully requested to remove
your hat; it will add to the enjoy
ment of those behind. " These cards
are handed to the forgeful ones by the
ushers and they (the forgetful ones)
are saved the embarrassment of hav-
ing their neighbor hearing the re-
quest made. The plan is worthy of
imitation by other managers.
In the police court Monday morning
Mike Donley was asked on his oath
to give his age but said that he did
not know whether he was twenty or
tWenty-one, His mother is dead and
his father is not sure of his age. Why
the authorities were anxious to know
is because he had bought liquor and

Mike works at the Watson and was
arrested for singing GA Hot Time in
the old Town Tonight Officer
DoWney who made the arrest claims
that 1t was not the song but the loud
manner in which he sung it that
caused his arrest, but Others think
the singing OF the song should be un-
lawful. Mike was fined one dollarand
costs.

Chairman.
Morgantown, W. Va. Dec. %, 1885,

THE civil service law has at last got
into the supreme court of the United
States, and in view of conflicting in
terpretations of the law it is to be
hoped there will be final adjudica-
tion. The cases come to the supreme
court on an appeal from the decision
of Judge Jackson, of the West Vir-
ginia circuit court. He issued a writ
permanently enjoining the collector of
internal revenue from removing from
office gaugers and storekeepers en-
ployed by his predecessors, contrary,
as was alleged, to the civil service
law. The cases are the only ones in
volying this feature of the civil SER
vice law that have ever been heard in
the supreme court, and the decision
will be looked forward to with much
interest.-Pittsburg Post
