THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the kies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

As an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat 10 less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5000 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable Of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
or .t-of-door exertion may be undertake
~ without fear Of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for a summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

For two years Mr., John Sliney, OF
Cory, Pa, has been securing leases
upon the Reno district coal field in
this county, and arranging for the
purchase of the property. A stock
company has been organized and has
received its charter from the secreta-
~ of state. 1t is known as the Reno
OH Development and Construction
Company, with capital stock of
$4,000, 900, 81 100000 paid up. The
charter was issued in the name of
five Morgantown parties, as matter
of legal safe guard, the share holders
being non-residents of the state.
The parties in whose names the
charter was issued met recently and
transferred the stock to the real
owners. who are the following gentle
men: J. NJ. Guffey, the. well known
coal and oil operator Of Pittsburg,
John Sliney, of Cory, Pa, also a
capitalist; Thomas G, Hillhouse, of
New York, who is connected with
with Metropolitan Trust Company,
{. c. Cuyler, of New Jersey, presi-
dent of the Illinois Steel Company,
and Julius Morgan, of New York, a
nephew of j. Pierpoint Morgan. The
company has contracted for the
purchase of $4,000 acres of coal land
in Reno district, and are now pre-
pairing to commence the work of tax
ing up the lands, which will be done
as rapidly as possible. The pur-
chase money for the coal lands will
amount to quite 100000. With the
purchase of the coal lands are Is
900 acres of oil territory which have
been leased. This is near Newburg.
Your correspondent is informed by
one of the share holders that test
wells will be put down near Newburg
at once. The machinery for drilling
is loaded on the cars awaiting orders
for shipment to Newburg, and those
interested are confident that valua-
BILE gas and oil field will be found
there.

So Say We ALI

A friend at Downs writes us that
the friends of the new county ofAu-
gusta have already employed Mr.. l..
H. Wilcox, very competent survey
or of Lincoln district. to run around
the boundary lines Of this county to
ascertain the true urea, and that the
work has been done This report
may be true or il may not, but it
emphasizes the fact that the County
Court Of this county should take
steps at this term, to have the coun-
ty surveyed by an impartial commits
sion so as to settle forever the ques-
ton of area. There is no use in de-
laying it longer. Some persons in
the upper end of the county are bent
upon forming a new county, and it
will always be troublesome ques-
ton until it is finally settled. II
this county has sufficient area to
lose the territory proposed to be
taken for the new county, and still
retain the four hundred square miles,
then let the new county be formed,
but if a proper survey demonstrates
the fact that this could not be done,
then let the matter rest. The only
question is one of area. That can
only be settled by survey, and let
the survey be made as quickly and
as fairly as possible.-Inder.

The New York "Herald" gave eff

last years campaign, and is a thor
oughly independent and non partisan
paper. 1t takes this view of the re-
cent elections:
The Democratic victories in the
west reflect universal revulsion
against the new administration. Lo-
cal issues contributed in some degree
to the results Of these elections, but
they are undoubtedly due in the main
to popular Indignation over the con-
duct of the men now at the head of
affairs and its paralyzing effect upon
the business Of the country.

The School Book Board Law.

The effect Of this law is to permit
each county to select its own text
books for use in the public schools,
instead of this being done as hereto
fore by the Legislature or commits
sion appointed by it. OF course the
practical workings of this plan will
alone determine whether or not it is
an improvement over the old one.
but at first thought it occurs to us
that it will be; much of its success
or failure, however, will depend on
the material of which the board is
composed.
This board is composed of the
county superintendent and EIGHT
other reputable citizens and taxpay-
ers of the county," appointed by the
county court on or before the fif-
tenth day of June, for term of
four years. At least four of the
eight shall be freeholders and not
school teachers, and at least three
shall be persons actively engaged as
teachers in the schools Of the county,
holding a No. / certificate or its
equivalent, and not more than five
shall belong to the same political
party. They shall choose one Of
their number as president, the coun-
ty superintendent being secretary.
They shall receive as compensation
for their services the sum of two doll
lars per day for each day they shall
be in session as board, but shall
not receive pay for more than two
days in any one year.
The board shall meet on the call
of the county superintendent ON or
before the first Monday of August,
and proceed to select and adopt and
contract for one text book or series
of text books, on each subject re-
quired to be taught in the free
schools of the State, not already con-
tracted for under the law Of 1895, for
a term Of five years. In making
such selection Of books it shall be
the duty of the board to procure the
best possible terms for exchange and
introduction and for the regular sup
ply of the books, and they are en-
powered to fix the retail price at
which they are to be sold, not ex-
ceeding 25 per cent. advance on the
net contract price. Provision is made
for the adoption by the board of text
books on subjects now covered by
the books in use under contracts
made in pursuance of the act of 1895,
at the expiration of such contracts.
Not more than one book or one series
of books on one subject, shall be
changed in any one year, except by
the affirmative votes of six members
of the board; but in case of the fail
ure of publisher to comply with
his contract, the board may, by the
affirmative vote of five members,
adopt other books in place of these
contracted for. No member of said
board shall serve, directly or indi-
rectly, as the agent for any publish
err of school books competing for
adoption under the provisions of this
act, or be personally interested in
any school books, and no teacher or
school officer shall act as agent for
any school book. Other provisions
of the law relate to the details Of
contract entered into by the board
with the publishers of school books,
the appointment Of depositaries by
the boards of education in the sew.
eral districts, and the sale and ex-
change of books by such deposita-
ries.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as

Back to First Principles.

When the idea of free seeds from
the government to the farmers was
conceived it was not the intention OF
affording each member of congress a
cheap bit of bonus to each constitu-
ent, but aimed to make the farms OF
the nation great experimental
school in which new and novel seeds
might be tried. Gradually the ex'
pertinent has fallen into cheap
charity, with absolutely nothing
more to recommend it than could be
said equally in favor of distributing
so many clay pipes or so many loaves
of bread once year among the con
gressional party follows. But Sec
rotary Wilson proposes to get back
to the original principles, and in SC
doing he will make the seed expert
ments what was originally meant, a
valuable aid to agriculture.
One of the first steps pursued by
the new Secretary of Agriculture is
the purchase of six tons of sugar
beet seed. This will be distributed
to farmers, who will proceed to raise
beets under the direction of the
state experiment station, and when a
crop is made the farmers of the
country will have an idea of the pos
sibility of raising sugar beets fol-
market. Just now, along with the
tariff talk, the likelihood of making
at home the enormous quantity OF
sugar consumed in the United States
is common subject Of discussion.
If Secretary Wilson can further the
interest in such theme, as the
planting of sugar beet surely will, he
may help materially to put the farms
of the country in the way of earning
each year the $l00,000,000 now sent
abroad for the purchase of sugar

What use is there in eating when
food does you no good-in fact,
when it does you more harm than
good, for such is the result if it is
not digested?
If you have a loathing for food
there's no use of forcing it down, for
it will not be digested. You must
restore the digestive organs to their
natural strength and cause the food
to be digested, when an appetite will
come, and with it a relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will
give place to vigor and energy; then
you will put flesh on your bones and
become strong. The Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial as made by the Mount
Lebanon Shakers contains food al
ready digested and is digester OF
foods as well. It's action Is prompt
and its effects permanent.

The town elections in New Jersey
tell the same tale that New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan have
been telling. Large Democratic
gains every where all over the state.
Among the towns which reversed
their November verdict are Paterson,
Newark, Orange, Elizabeth, Hobo
ken and Jersey City. AS this is
Hobart's state, the confidence of the
administration in a second term has
become somewhat less enthusiastic.

A Point to Remember.

If you wish to purify your blood
you should take medicine which
cures blood diseases. The record Of
cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla proves
that this is the best medicine for the
blood ever produced. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla cures the most stubborn
cases and it is the medicine for you
to take if your blood is impure.

Another striking instance of the
truth CT the adage, circumstances

of many people toward the supreme
court. A few months ago a criti-
cism of that august body would
fairly give them spaslns and no cpl
tibet was too vile to apply to the de-
tractors. But since the decision in
the railroad pooling business some
of the very strongest criticism has
come from these upholders of the
sacredness of the court of last re-
sort.

orally, Tue university is no place Tor
boys under Is at the lowest, nor for
preparatory students, unless posi-
bly, those who are of age and have
been unable to prepare for college
before that time. The sooner this
is learned, the better for the Univer-
sity of West Virginia and for every
hall that may be established. At
Harvard some time ago, the average
age of entrance to the freshman
class was 1914 years and it is proba-
bly, higher to-day. In addition to
that, the students there, as a gener
al thing, come from course of six
or seven years strict training in
preparatory schools, and are there
fore more ready to begin a higher
course of entire freedom from petty
discipline. Although it is fact
that there is considerable disorder
in these same eastern universities,
it must be remembered that if they
had the influences of properly con
Quoted dormitories, not as now mere
collections of unguarded rooms, the
disorders would probably disappear.
As it is today it must be added that,
despite its faults, the students a.
the West Virginia institution are
superior morally to those of any col
lege known to the writer, whether
they be under church or state infiu-
enees. That some students in the
state university get drunk is true;
that some also gamble and do many
other things unworthy of gentlemen
is true; but so it is everywhere, and
incorporation of such doings is even
less here than it is at church col
leges which could be named if neces-
sary. The faculty. too, has as high
an average christian character as in
the best college. All the university
needs is the separation of the pre-
paratory department absolutely from
the other, its entire annihilation in
fact, and the establishment of
number of church halls or dormi-
tories. When these two things are
done, there will be few universities
to surpass it. One thing is certain
lit has been demonstrated that
students at the Episcopal Hall in
Morgantown not only have II good
time with more real home pleasure
than at any other place, but their
chances of falling into evil ways are,
although not entirely eliminated,
