This old land patent is ON sheep
skin and is brown and wrinkled with
age, and the ink is getting dim, but
still can be read fairly well. Pres
ton county was then part of Monon-
gala, and the patent above given is
for one of the first settlements
made in this section. We know
nothing of John Mcclellan or any of
his people, but it is likely that some
of our old settlers can tell something
of him and perhaps locate the tract
as described above. Ashcraft the
man above referred to, was fugi
tive from justice and had hunting
camp on the McMillen land near
Morgantown in 1776.

George D. Head has purchased the
George MARI property one-half mile
west of the city limits. He expects to
resell it in small farms from two acres
up.
There is a very ugly rumor a1oat
here today which connects two men,
one married and the other single, with
an alleged outrage said to have been
committed Thursday night in this city.
It is said that both men have fed the
city. No complaint having been
launched with the authorities under
any such charge this paper must
refrain from giving all the alleged facts
in its possession.
There is great deal of complaint
throughout the city by reason of the
thoughtlessness Of certain people who
have been attending the plays given by
the Owen company at the Rhode this
week. In some of the most solemn
and impressive passages in the work of
the actors these people begin to giggle
and litter in most idiotic fashion. In
such as death scenes Shakespeare never
wrote anything to be laughed at, nor
have the players this week spoken
their lines in other than an artistic
manner, which certainly has never
called forth levity from any one prop
erly balanced mentally. Perhaps these
people may not have stopped to think
of the effect of their actions, but they
may when they are informed that they
are offering insults of most debasing
character to MIR. Owen. Right think
ing people feel as though they ought to
offer an apology to Mr.. Owen for such
heedlessness and they sincerely hope
that such things will not be repeated
tonight. Before Mr.. Owen returns
here at some future time to entertain
US it is hoped that these gigglers will
read up on Shakespeare so as to try to
understand reasonably the efforts Of
the players.

AT THE Y. M. G. A.
The Board Meets and Decides Against a
Gymnasium.

There was a regular meeting of the
executive board of the Y. M. G. A. at
the rooms Friday evening. Consider
able business was transacted, but the
main thing of interest to the public
came up in the matter of the gymna-
stun. A special committee had been
appointed to report upon the advisa-
bility of establishing such an insti-
tuition. The committee did not think
it advisable for the present and so the
matter will be dropped.
Among other matters TO be disposed
of were the reports of standing COM
mittees, and the allowance of bills.
L. M. Theirs resignation as treasurer
was received and accepted, and Chas.
Pfennig, Jr., was elected to the posi-
ton.
The matter of changing the member
ship plan came up for discussion. The
new permanent membership plan was
adopted and cards made out on this
plan will be printed very soon and put
| into use.
Assistant Estate Secretary W. Fl.
Kellogg, Of Milwaukee, was present
at the meeting. Immediately
after the business of the board had
been opposed of prayer meeting fol-
lowed in preparation for the week of
prayer, which comes next week. This
week of PRAYER will cose next Sunday.
Nov. 81, when George T. Howser,
of Chicago, will be here to lead large
meeting. This wind up meeting will
probably be held in some public hall.

BE MORE CAREFUL.
People Are Too Careless About Exposing
others to Contagion.

Health Officer Stemm desires TO call
public attention to the fact that there
is too great carelessness on the part of
the families who have contagious dis
eases in their midst. After the doctors
pronounce diseases contagious the
families have let their children go to
the schools until Mr.. Stemm orders
them kept out. People should be more
careful about such things and not sub
ject a host of other families to the
same contagion. Mr.. Stemm COM
plains that this self evidently good
advice is necessary from the fact that
SO many people disregard the dangers
they submit other families to. Such
advice canRot, therefore, be made too
general. Everybody should be careful
about these things.

A "breaking down of the nervous system"
is modern expression,-a modern COM
plant. 1t is induced by prolonged strain
and the overtaxing of the nervous system,
and is a product of over hurry and hustle.
It affects the preacher and the lawyer-the
direct result of brain tire. 1t affects people
in any walk of life, too, who worry and fret.
It means depicting of the nerve forces.
It is durable by complete rest and change
of scene, also by the use of nerve reStoratives
and nerve foods. AS the first method is not
within the reach of all, the latter offers
the most universal and practical method
of treating the complaint. When it is de-
termined that medicine is to be used, Sc
lect that one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properties. Do not take nerve
tonicsso They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than you were before.
Select the medicine that is to the nerves
what meat is to the body-one that as. it
builds up the nerves, also increases your
weight. The best thing for the purpose is
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
