THE OPERATION SUCCESSFUL
DR.. George |. Keener Freed
From a Constant Fear of
Death.


al. of the yermiform Appendix Emf.
nently Successfully Constant Men,
ace to His Life removed with Slight
Suffering.
DIR. George l. keener has success
fully passed through the trying or
deal Of an operation for the removal
of the vermiform appendix. A tele-
received by Major keencr brings
this welcome information from DIR.
Keen the operating surgeon.
The news is very agreeable to ey-
cry one.
DIR. keener was here short time
since and went from here to Phia-
delphia where the operation was per
formed. For number of years he
has been subject to attacks of appen-
dicitis which with each recurring
attack grew more severe. The seige
experienced last summer very mar
rowly escaped proving fatal and he
was assured by eminent physicians
that the next time he was seized
with it that in aliprobability the at
tack would be fatal At .he same
time he was told that the attack was
almost certain to come Then his
chances should the troublesome rud-
iment be left undisturbed was very
slight. The danger of an operation
while in health for its removal was
very slight and on the other hand
after the malady becomes developed
not one victim in a hundred survives
the operation.
All these things being considered
DIR. Keener reached the conclusion
to undergo the operation at once
He was in perfect health and was in
every way prepared for it physically.
Accordingly he went to Philadel-
phia and placed himself under the
direction Of some of the most skillful
surgeons in the country. This was
done without any fear of the result.
On his departure from Morgantown
DR.. Keener told "a representative Of
this paper he felt not the slightest
fear of the results of the operation
but had presentiment that it would
be successful. The result has justi-
fed the wisdom of his decision. His
legion of friends in this county CON
graduate him upon his fortunate es-
cape from the sword which constant
ly hung as by hair over his head
His recovery will be matter Of but
short time and the suffering at
tendant on his confinement win be
but slight.

LARGE CATTLE MOVEMENTS
$4,000 Worth Of Cattle Brought
in Recently.

Prize Shipments.

Few people are aware OF the large
proportions the cattle trade in this
and adjoining counties has assumed
For the past few weeks nearly every
day has seen herd pass through
Morgantown ON its way to grazing
ground in Monongalia or Greene
counties. Fully fifteen hundred head
have gone through aggregating in
value $4,000 or more. The cattle
come from the interior mostly from
Harrison, Barbour and Lewis coun.
ties.
Some of the men who have brought
in droves and the number in each
are as follows:
Asa Sterling, Mort vanvoorhis
and John Long with 100 head; John
Hogarth with lao head taken to Fay
cite county; Tilt and Hugh Keenan,
100 head; viii and Grove Keener
$50 head of which $50 were taken
to Greene county; Lem Donley 200
head taken to Mt Morris; Amri
Taylor 100 head taken to Lone Star;
Clark Core las head; Luther Jami-
son 100 heifers and 90 steers; O. II.
Ollie lao head and Sam Hudson
with 143 which were taken TO Greene
county. These cattle will be win
tered here and will be sold next sea
son in the eastern markets.
Along with this great influx of
cattle some very heavy shipments
have been made recently. Lmong
these shipments one made by Will
w. Keener is noteworthy. 1t con
sisted of car load of three year old
fat CATTLE, seventeen IN number av-
eraging 1853 pounds. They were
taken to Philadelphia for export.
The dealers have written Mr. Keen
er that the carload was decidedly
the finest received in Philadelphia
this season. This statement is one
of the. highest compliments which
could be paid a cattle man.
The cattle were grazed in sight of
Morgantown on the West Side and
had been there since last November.
Prices on fat cattle have declined
slightly since the rush to market
them begun and stock cattle have
gone up slightly. The demand for
one and the supply Of the other
have caused this movement. Local
men marketed their cattle and re-
plenished their herds before either
took place and consequently made
money ON both deals.

Late Bulletins from the Experiment
Stations.


The recent publication of the Exper-
iment station have been of more than
usual interest, and they are attracting
the notice of the practical orchardists
and farmers, not only in this State,
but also in other States having large
fruit interest. In any locality where
one county's export ofapples amount
ed to over two hundred thousand
dollars there is keen appreciation Of
the importance Of the right way Of
raising and handling the fruit.
The Bulleton on Apples, No. ~ of
the w. Va. Ayr. Expt. Station, gives
IA map of the Life Zone of the Uni
ted States, clearly showing how advan-
tageously West Virginia is situated
in the fruit belt of our country.
Such vital points in apple culture
are treated as the best soil, proper
distance to plant trees, spraying,
tree pruning, and the varieties best
suited to our State. Some interest
ing figures are given as to the length
of life of favorite varieties. Several
plates illustrate these different topics,
as well as picture the cold storage
houses of Hancock County of this
State.
Bulleton 4S on Raspberries takes
this popular fruit at the very begin
mig of its history, and shows the best
methods of preparing the ground,
propagating and harvesting this crop
that pays so well in West Virginia.

TWO RIVAL TOWNS.

Parkersburg and Marietta are two
towns on opposite sides of the river,
about IL miles apart, whose love for
each other is similar to the devils
love for holy water. When Marietta
man gets caught in Parkersburg his
first question is, when the next train
leaves. When Parkersburg person
gets caught in Marietta he will walk
back home to avoid waiting an hour
for train. And if a man from eth
er towns stay in the other "a hours
he is arrested. In order to afford the
Marietta people every facility for
for leaving Parkersburg when they
happen to blow into the town, the
citizens of the latter place have organ
lied new street railway company,
and propose to build an electric line
connecting the two places. A charter
was issued yesterday by the Secretary
of State to the new company, which
is called the Parkersburg and Mar
ietta Traction Co. 1t proposes to
build its railway on the West Virginia
side, and to bridge the Ohio river at
Marietta. The capital stock is $50, 600
