SAN FRANCISCO, July - United
States Circuit Judge Morrow has rem
dered decision in the famous Blythe
case which was in the nature of a sur
prise. He ordered decree entered in
favor of the English Blythe claimants,
and in his findings made several rulings
which are in direct conflict with those
of the state courts. Among other things
it is held that Florence Blythe was born
an illegltimate child in 1878 when her
progenitors were subject to Great Brit
ain, Under this ruling it is considered
very probable that Mrs. Florence Blythe
Hinckley will lose the property which
she has fought SO hard and bitterly dur

A Few Pertinent and Pointed Obserya-

GEoRGETowN. October 19.--The drouth
the auction and other evidences of pros.
perity are still with us. We, the people
cannot attend any OF the big blow outs
at town for we have not the time nor the
means. The subject we are interested
in is taxes. Some people seem greatly
interested in US especially just before
an election. Costly institutions are
maintained for our education and ben
eft Tor to pay salaries to professors) but
our hogs and poultry die OF cholera, En-
glish sparrows annoy us and rats eat
our corn in the shock, and noxious
weeds and grasses still come in greater
variety, and prosperity comes and
brings good times and dollar wheat,
but just now wheat is being declined in
our Louisville market at 70 cents. Why
Just because Bryan is still making his
silly speeches on the dead issue.
Why don't we get an injunction and
have confidence restored? Our poor la
boring people do not have to eat the
very cheap sugar now, for they can buy
an article OF SO much better grade or at
any rate the quality ought to advance
with the price and while it only costs
them 20 pes cent more--just look how
poor Mr.. Searles enjoys it. We can
we'll afford IT. seeing he pays the taxes.
And now l have a problem to be solv-

and take our pay in commodity worth
only 40 cents on the dollar how much
do we get for the dollar sold?

ANOTHER SNAKE STORY.
A Tale Of Gold Disc0very-Utterly
ImnOSSihle and Absurd.

The following dizzy story has been
going the rounds of the press. 1t
may be interesting to state that no
gold ever has been found in West
Virginia and that none will ever be
found. The reason for this is that
gold is always found in volcanic rocks
and that there is absolutely no trace
of such rocks in this state. The yarn
is as follows:
Gold has been discovered in Roane
county, and if reports are true there
is Klondike right at our doors.
For the past fifteen years Welch-
man, who has had experience in the
western gold fields has made period
ical visits to Roane county and spent
months prospecting.
He found piece of land about s
miles from Spencer which struck his
fancy and purchased 1t. He was i'm
pressed with the surface indications
and procuring some of the rock had it
assayed.
Judge Russell and others OF Pome-
roy, who have interests at Cripple
Creek, Colorado, visited the spot
where the ore had been taken from
and also became impressed with the
richness Of the ore, and had some of
it assayed.
The result was that they purchased
an interest and put down a shaft.
The work was done very quietly
and little has been said about it, the
owners giving eyasive answers to
those who inquired what they were
after.
Two CAP loads Of ore have been
taken out and will be shipped TO a
stamp mill at Cripple Creek to be
worked out. The ore is said to be
richer than that obtained ID the
Cripple Greek region -

A FITTING CELEBRATION.
A Day Commemorative Of Old
Monongalia Academy
Suggested.

Exercises TO be Held During Next Com
Advantages and Reasons
for the AoYe-L0cal Alumni Working
on IT. Suggestions and Advice In
Ylted.
During the inaugural exercises at
the University this week, Monongalia
academy and her glorious history were
frequently alluded to. The great
debt Of the University to the old
mother institution was the theme of
many speakers and found an echo in
the hearts of hundreds Of people.
These circumstances has brought out
a suggestion which is likely to meet
with hearty appreciation. 1t is sug-
gested that a Monongalia Day. be
held at the University during next
commencement.
This celebration will serve to per-
petuate the glories Of the old academy
which is now bat a memory and
win be fitting recognition Of the
debt which the splendid institution
owes to its mother. Besides being
due to the old school on account Of
its history the celebration will serve
as a great help to the University. 1t
will draw closer to it the alumni and
old students of the academy who will
be made to feel that in measure
they now owe their allegiance to the
University.
1t is thought that very large
number Of the old students can be in
duced TO come here if such celebra-
tion is held. The colony In Pitts
burg is large one and the number
scattered through nearby towns is a
very large one. Needless to say an
invitation to come and meet with the
old boys would appeal powerfully to
all the old fellows and they would
flock in in great numbers.
The local alumni and old students
are busy discussing the matter and
they will lay the question before the
faculty and the board OF regents and
ask that day be set aside during
next commencement for such a pur-
pose. In the meanwhile they invite
suggestions and advice through this
paper in regard to the scheme. Let
us hear from all who are interested in
the matter.

FINALLY SETTLED
The Hitching Rack Will Soon be
Restored.

Conneii RegraBts the Privilege Last
Nighi-solicitor Fasts Opinion over
ruled stitching Park impracticabIe
Just Now.
Council met in regular session last
night Every member except Dir l.
c. White who is in Europe was pres
ent. The only business transacted
OF importance was the action in re-
gard to hitchIng racks. The other
business was routine in its nature
and consisted Of allowing the regu
lar expense bills.
The minutes OF the previous meet
ing al which hitehing racks were
allowed we're taken up and approved.
1t appeared from the report of the
committee who had been appointed
to investigate the matter that no
other solution Of the problem was
possible The committee, consisting
of Messrs Keck, Arnett and viii
liams investigated the situation
tho, oughly and found it impossible
to secure ground for hiteling rack
park at present. The cost would in
their judgment be too great in the
present state of the towns finances.
Accordingly the merchants we're al
owed the privilege Of erecting racks
before their stores
The opinion rendered by Solicitor
Fast in regard to the matter was got
considered of sufficient weight to
justify any further delay and it was
over ruled. He claims that the
authorities are liza le for damage for
allowing hitching rack as they are
nuisances
The only difference between the
ordinance as first passed anaas it
now stands is that council reserves
the right to revoke the privilege at
any time. The merchants WHO want
the racks will proceed to pnt them
in at once 1t is understood that /.
Pickenpaugh, S A. Postcn AMI D.

Kingwood is organizing a company

organizing a company of young men
who want to become tin soldiers.
However the movement is bound to
fail. There was company wanted
in this regiment and three towns
competed for the honor. Mounds
vile carried off the plum. Morgan
town and Warrington both failed to
get there. The companies here and
in the oil town were both full of good
material. The only reason that
neither of themswas taken was that
no more companies were wanted. Sc
Kingwood is foredoomed to failure.
They had better turn their attention
to something else.
