THE WHIST PARTY.
Misses Finnell and Huston Give the
Largest Ever Given in the Town
Those Present.

One of the largest, as well as one of
the most elaborate "Whists" ever
given in Morgantewn, was the one
given last night by Miss Louise Fin
nell and Miss Louise Huston. The
spacious dining room of the Franklin
House, where the tables were set, is
admirably adapted for such large
gathering as that of last night A
reception lasting about half an hour
was held in the parlors. After the
reception all repaired to the scene OF
play, and for three hours the contest
waxed warm. After most spirited
contest, it was found that Miss Ollie
Hite had secured the ladies' prize,
while Mr.. L. A. Yeager had walked
off with the gentlemen's. Miss
Edith Grant captured the ladies'
BOBBY and Mr. Ed Baker the gentle
mems BOBBY. The hostesses have a
reputation for hospitality, and when it
came to refreshments it was evident
they were guarding this reputation
zealously Following the supper came
an impromptu musical. Mr.. Paul
Mccoy, whose voice has long been one
to be envied, gave a fine rendition of
Loves Sorrow" Prof. ]. p. Whyte,
our talented elocutionist, recited
"That Old Sweetheart Of Mine. !"
The sympathetic, feeling manner in
which he read his lines, created the
impression that it was his own REM
iniscent retrospect. Thus ended one
of the most enjoyable entertainments
yet given here. Those present besides
the hostesses were: Mesdames e. E.
Hayes and HI. L. Google, Miss Bertha
Stafford, of Pittsburg; Misses Blanche
Wood, Daisy Wood, Jessie Morehead,
Bess Harvey, Louise Harvey, Cora

DISPUTED BOUNDARY.
Maryland and West Virginia Claim 40
Miles.

The survey of the boundary line
between Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, under the direction of the
United States Court of Appeals was
completed Friday. The survey has
been made for the purpose of settling
the long standing dispute over the
possession of the territory living
along the line between the two
states. One of the engineers on be-
half of Maryland said that the state
had made out strong case, and
that about 40 square miles included
in Preston county, w. Va, will 90 to
Maryland. The engineers on behalf
of West Virginia will file a counter
claim, showing that the result OBJ
tanned in this survey was brought
about because the survey was begun
at the wrong point.
The dispute oyer the line dates
back to the days before the war,
when what is now West Virginia
was part of the Old Dominion.
The line which was established by
the survey of 1859 has been con
sidered the correct one, though occa-
sional disputes have arisen. BY
the new survey West Virginia loses
a strip about two miles wide and
running the entire length OF Preston
county. The old boundary inter
sected Mason and Dixon's line near
Markleysburg, in Fayette county,
but the new survey shifts this al
most two miles west. If the new
survey is permitted to stand many
West Virginians will be compelled
to transfer their allegiance to Mary
land, and lot OF trouble will ensue
over the transfer of titles to land.

GOT FOOLED ONCE MORE.
A Number OF Persons Caught on the
Stove Racket.

During the past summer certain
company sent agents through this
county to sell ranges and cooking
STOVES. The agent was successful in
getting out quite number, and in
many cases rather pushed the deal on
the buyer, and wherever a purchaser
could not pay, or wanted time, he
was told that he could have all the
time he wanted, no matter II it was
one. five or twelve years, but the
agent took notes and they were made
to read as due and payable on the
first day of November, 1897. The
buyer rested easy with the under
standing that he could have his time
to pay. But this week the collecting
agent got here and he has been max
ing himself heard. He is not only
making himself heard but he is col
Letting all these notes call for, and
there is no mercy being shown. He
tells the signer of the note that he
wants the money and that he means
to get 1t at once No time is given,
and if not paid he threatens suit.
The notes are for $50, and the pay
ment OF them is greatly discommod-
ing many who are not at this time
prepared To pay later. As often as
we give notice in these columns to be-
ware Of the slick article it seems that
such warning is not needed, but the
side Of the stranger is accepted as full
assurance of good faith. Any person
can come to Fairmont and get goods
equal, and in many cases better than
it is possible TO buy from these travel
ing agents. Besides, you know that
the home merchant that you deal
with is a responsible man, and can
not afford in any instance or event,
to not be fair and square with every
individual who deals with him, and
whatever the merchant tells you, he
will make good
The lesson here taught is one Of a
hundred wherein the buyer is lead to
believe that he is getting an article
at half the price he could get it from
his home merchant when in fact he
pays far more than his home merchant
asks Let it be the last time you are
fooled in this way, and when you
want to buy anything, consult your
neighbor and friend always-tEe

Joseph Hayes fhree Year old Son
Meets Horrible Fate-AlOne With
Another Infant His Clothes Take
Fire-Doctors POwerIess to Save His
Life.
Yesterday morning distressing ac-
cident occurred at Dellslow, in which
a three year old child met his death.
He was son of Joseph Hayes, and
together with two year old child Of
Abe Murrays, was in the house. All
the other members of the household
were out, and in some way the child's
clothing caught fire. His screams at
tracted attention and the family
rushed in. When he was reached his
clothes were a mass of flames, and
some difficulty was experienced in put
ting them out.
The child was horribly burned and
had inhaled some Of the flames, so
its life was at once despaired of. 1t
fingered in terrible agony until eleven
O'Clock last night when it found re-
lief in death. 1t will be buried to-
morrow at 10 o'clock at Summers
school house, above Beaver Hole.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Two Preston Lovers are United
in Marriage.
Swift Courtship in the BuckWheat conn
tY-Bride Goes Through Here to
Meet Her Sweetheart Fancy Tael
Unfolded by the Kingwood Journal.

In the announcement of the grant
ing of marriage license last week to
Albert n. Cohun, aged Al, and Mol
lie Zotz, aged 30, there did not APP
pear to be anything out of the ordi-
nary. Yet that license and the sub
sequent marriage of the two parties
was the final chapter in very roman
tic love affair. 1t recalls the time of
the burning of the old Court House,
March 6, 1869. Many of the older
people well remember that Heron
linus Zotz was the jailer when Elihu
Gregg was confined in the Jail on the
charge or burning the Court house.
Lollie Zotz, his daughter, at that
time was pretty little girl but sew
en- years of age. Her father moved
to Grafton and when Miss Mollie
grew up she moved west to Kansas
we are informed. Before her depart
ure though she and "Newt Cobun
had become friends, he being at that
time railroader. Their friendship
ripened into love, but circumstanc
prevented their being married and
they drifted apart, although it
seems they had not forgotten each
other. Twenty years passed by from
the time they parted until their meet
ing last week.
In that twenty years Mr.. Cobun
had married and settled down and
was busy accommodating a fortune.
While this was SO, his old sweetheart,
Mollie Zotz, was true to her first love
and never married. Mr. Cobun's
wife died and he continued to keep
house at Masontown. BY some
strange unaccountable manner the
two began corresponding and in a
year or SO the old love that had been
smouldering was quickened into a
flame and they decided to marry.
Miss Zotz sold off all her goods and
started east, it being arranged that
they should meet at Newburg. Mr..
Cobun went there on the day
agreed upon but she had mistaken
the route and gone to Morgantown.
From there she continued her journey
to Masontown and when Mr. Cobun
found not his old sweet heart at New
burg he returned home, with strange
unhappy thoughts fitting through
his mind. He happily found his
friend awaiting his coming at Mason
town, and they were united in mar
riage that evening. In all the twenty
years they had not seen each other,
which shows how strong the bonds
first created between them had re-
NAMED.

NO NAMES GIVEN
so That This Remarkable Story Can
Be Verified.

HAwKsNEsT, w. Va, Nov. %
Near this place lived.a man who mort
gagged his home to buy his wife pair
of diamond earrings. The wife took
in washing to pay the interest on the
mortgage, but on the first job lost
one of the ''sparks" in the suds,
where upon she tried to hang herself
in the barn, but the rope broke and
she fell On Jersey COW worth $3.50
and broke it's back. Her husband
then undertook to shoot the cow to
put it out of its misery, but the gun
burstand destroyed both eyes. His wife
then ran away with lightning rod
peddler. The mortgage is still on
deck and bids fair to live to a ripe
old age.

ONE CENT
Thanksgiving Day.

OF late years Thanksgiving Day
means no more to many of us than a
family reunion around board lit
orally grooming under its load of roast
turkey, mince pie and other appro-
pirate, if slightly indigestible dain-
ties. But very different was its
significance in 1921, when Gov. Brad
ford, of the Plymouth Colony, ordered
that day be set apart for prayer
and Thanksgiving TO God for the first
harvest Of the Pilgrims. AS years
went by this harvest of festival was
observed by other New England
colonies, and during the Revolution
airy War was introduced into several
of the Middle states. In 1863 it was
made National holiday. Since this
date the President has issued an an
nual proclamation appointing the
last Thursday in November as
Thanksgiving Day.
Traditions tell us that the Pilgrims,
having no cattle or domestic fowls
to kill, shot the wild turkeys that
were plentiful in the forest and
served them at the feast that graced
their first harvest home. Hence the
origin of the custom that makes the
turkey the piece de resistance of the
Thanksgiving dinner. -MeCall's Mag

IngersOIl MAY Turn.

To morrow Robert g. Ingersoll is
going to deliver what he calls a
Thanksgiving Sermon and the
event is eliciting great deal of
comment Contrary to his usual
custom he has refused steadily to
discuss in any way the subject mat
ter of the address. Christian people
everywhere are interested and it is
in many places suggested that he
intends to renounce his infdelity
and accept christianity. Should
these fond hopes be realized the pro-
foundest sensation of the year in re-
ligious circles would be given.
Stranger things have happened but
it is doubtful if the earnest wish OF
the christian world is to be gratified

SMOKED OUT.
The Governor will Issue a De-
sired Requisitlon.

The Pressure too Great-HOWl over the

Contingent Fund Furnishes a New
Sersation-R Reasons will be received
Later.
The big rumpus kicked up all over
the state over the failure of the gov
ernor to issue acquisitions has smoked
that gentleman out. The matter
was first published in the DAILY NEW
DOMINION, and was taken up by
nearly every paper of Importance in
the state. A great deal of caustic
comment was INDUCED in by the
press.
Gov. Atkinson gave out several in
terviews on the subject, all re-atfirm-
ing what he had written to ProsecG-
tor Lazzelle. This morning however
a telegram was received from him
stating that the necessary requisition
would be issued at once. Why the
change of heart. no one knows, but it
may be due to the powerful newspaper
pressure which has been brought to
bear on the executive.
Another case which was discussed
in this connection was from Mason
county. A fiend in human form had
assaulted little girl down there
and had escaped to Ohio, where he
snapped his fingers at his pursuers.
Great Indignation was expressed over
the refusal of the authorities to issue
a requisition for him.
The requisition wanted by Mr..
LaZzelle was for William Beals and
wife, who are charged with grand
larency by James Daugherty, of Beech
urst. They are now in Uniontown,
and will, it is expected, be arrested
and brought back here for trial. A
letter is expected from the governor
explaining his change on the question.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1s.-One
of the most remarkable performances
in the history of hypnotism has just

The excitement was intense, and
the police were unable to manage the
crowd. After the dirt has been taken
off and the air-tubing removed, the
crowd became so excited that the UNI
dertakers came near being pushed in
to the grave. Clods of dirt, trash and
dust poured into the grave, covering
the face of Douglass, who lay appar-
emily lifeless.
