Good Prospects that 1t will be Contia
ned to Morgantoun and that
Werk will Begin Soon.

KrSGwooD, w. VA, March 13.-It
has been authoritatively stated by J.
Ami Martin, vice-president and gen
eral manager Of the West Virginia
Northern Railroad, that the pros
poets are very favorable for continu-
ing the road on to Morgantown dur
ing the coming summer-or at least
to commence the work Of continuing
it. Mr.. Martin was recently in east
ern cities on business connected
with the railroad, and although he
will not say just what it is, he evil
IDENTIFY received some encouragement,
in the way of making sales of the
necessary bonds, which prompted
him to make the above statement.
1t is twenty miles from here to Nor
gantown, and the road, if built, will
go over the well-known Blackbottle
route, considerable portion of
which is already graded. and runs
through very rich coal field.
This extention of the road is a
very important one, from a business
stand point, not only to the large
number of people of this section, and
all along the route, that will be
greatly benefited by having all the
conveniences of an accessible rail
road and direct line of transporta-
ton to Pittsburg, but also to the
railroad company; for it is admitted
by all who are acquainted with the
route that it will be better paying
portion than that which is already
built, not neglecting to take the
greater distance into consideration.

MORE OFFICES
Are Wanted for the Faithful-Two ia
dicial Districts i'm West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March l5.-
West Virginia will be divided into
judicial districts, under United States
Jurisdiction, at the next session of
Congress, IL the state delegation can
accomplish it.
A bill will be introduced early in
both houses for the purpose. Senator
Elkins will present it in the senate
and Mr.. Dayton will perform the duty
on the house side. The proposition
will be supported by the whole dele
CATION.
The bill will provide for division
line to be run, separating the counties
Of Wood and Jackson, Writ and
Roane, Richie and Calhoun, Braxton
and Gilmer, Upshur and Webster,
and Randolph and Pocahontgs, as the
border counties of the two divisions
which will be known respectively as
the northern district, and the south
ern district.
This will place thirty counties n
the northern district and twenty-foe1
in the southern, but this disparity in
area is more than made up in the pre-
preponderance in volume of business
supplied in the Kanawha section.
1t will be shown in support of the
measure that the cost in duplicating
salaries and current expenses will be
offset by the saving of the transporta-
tion expenses. The district of West
Virginia has a larger criminal business
than nine other districts combined,
these nine being designated as two in
New York, two in Illinois, two in
Iowa, one in Connecticut and two in
Ohio.
The expenses incurred in getting
witnesses and prisoners to and from
Charleston alone is enormous, and to
save this term of court should be
held at Huntington, WEIGH and
Charleston, which can be done under
the re-districting act proposed, posi-
bly, at some point in Greenbrier coun-
ty, or some other.

A RICH VALLEY.
Extending Over One Hundred Miles
North and South by Eighty Miles
East and West.


The Valley OF the Big Sioux River
extending from Sioux City and the
Missouri River on the south over one
hundred miles north and about eighty
miles east and west, includes within
its tributaries large portion of south
western Minnesota and northwestern
Iowa. Within these limits are more
than 7, 1853, 600 acres of land, more ara
BILE land than is contained within the
states Of Massachusetts, Delaware and
New Jersey combined. For diversified
farming it has no superior on the con-
tfnent. In fertility and riches of soil
it even excels the famous valley of the
Red River Of the North.
The soil is deep black loan, with
enough sand to render it warm and
quick, underlaid by fertile porous
subsoil, possessing all the qualities
necessary Gas years of experience has
demonstrated) for all kinds of farming,
especially corn and kindred cereals.
The grasses are rich and abundant,
the celebrated blue joint prevailing
The valley Is already noted as favor
able locality for fine stock raising, and
great deal Of the wealth of the in
dustrious farmers has been derived
from corn, hogs and cattle. 1t is well
watered in every portion both from
springs and small streams, and good
water is always obtained at depth
of 20 to so feet.
Eight to ten years ago in north
western Iowa and southwestern Min
nesota lands sold at IS to $40 per acre.
To-day the same lands are worth $25
to $40 per acre, and cannot be bought
for less, according to Improvements.
The boundary lines Of the states do
not change the productiveness of the
soil. The soil on the South Dakota
side is just as good as that of the
states which it adjoins.
For further information about South
Dakota lands address w. E. Powell,

A Case in Point.

1t is bill to grant pension to
the widow of soldier. She is a no.
torious woman in Washington. Her
behavior was SO bad that the soldier
got an absolute divorce from her and
married a decent woman, who bore
him children. The decent woman
is at this moment drawing de-
served pension as his widow. This
dissolute former wife's claim was ex-
amined and peremptorily rejected on
the facts by a Republican admins
tration, but when it came up in Con-
gress it was passed without ques-
ton, simply because our Democratic
friends, and particularly our South
ern friends, are politically too cow
ardly to vote against pension for
anybody that pretends to be a sol
dier's widow. Congress makes no
investigation. 1t leaves that to me.
And when / veto bill like this that
is a manifest fraud upon the treasu-
ry / am denounced as 'sthe enemy of
the old soldier"

An Extravagant Congress.



.'The last Congress easily sur
passes all its predecessors in wanton
and lavish appropriations made or
attempted to be made. 1t has APP
propriated $1,046, 49, 1S.53, being
$40, 6,00S.59 in excess of the i'm
provident appropriation Of the ''Bil-
lion Dollar Congress-" which was
the last Republican Congress.
''In this total / include the three
great appropriation bills which fail
ed to receive the approval of the
President, and the genersI deficien-
cy bill so far as it's items were agreed
upon between the two houses. The
previous Congress, which was Dem
ocratic, reduced appropriations to
1899, 239, 205.69, Notwithstanding a
great many laws required appropri-
ations which would not have been
made but for the mandatory provis-
ions of the statutes.
1.-THE appropriations of the last
Congress therefore exceed the appro
priations of the preceding Congress
by $57, l97, s12.S4, having been nota-
bly, augmented ON account of fortifi-
cations, the new navy, the postal
service and river and harbor i'm
provements. The country rebuked
the Billion Dollar Congress for it s
riotous waste of public money. The
condition of the treasury and of bus
mess then, however, was very much
more favorable than at the present
time. Then there was current an
nual surplus of about 100000, 600,
with fair degree of prosperity in
all the avenues of trade and COM
merce. The last Congress appropri-
ates stupendous total which is
without precedent in all our history
at time when labor is is discon-
tented, manufacturing and mining at
standstill or running ON limited
time; agriculture utterly helpless and
the army of unemployed increasing
from day to day.
''These untoward business condi-
tons confronted the country when
the Republican Congress convened
both at first and second session. Ev-
cry consideration of patriotism and
duty demand a policy of rigid econ
omy. Individual or corporate enter
prises, if confronted with like condi-
tions, would have reduced expendi-
lures wherever possible. The die
tates of sound business judgment
commanded the Republican party to
pursue the same policy in respect to
national expenditures. 1t has not
done so, but on the contrary has
wasted the substance of the people
and squandered their revenues in
prodigal appropriations.
1.-THE delinquencies of that party
in respect to public expenditures,
the proposed increase of tariff taxa
ton and its already assured failure
to reform our monetary system will
at the next Congressional elections
pass the control of both House and
Senate to the Democratic party.
This opinion rests upon the convic-
ton that the country cannot be
taxed into prosperity while at the
same time the body of money in cir
culation is at standstill or being
limited day by day."

Braxton Central: An unfortunate
occurrence took place in the lower
end of this county last Saturday
We were unable to learn the full par
ticulars, but we are told that Fill
gorley and Ben. F. Cunningham had
a falling-out over Corley hauling
through a piece of land belonging to
Cunningham, and it resulted in Cor
ley striking Cunningham over the
head with heavy piece of wood,
fracturing his skull and causing in
juries which may possibly result in
his death. 1t is also reported that
a young son of Corley's was present
and assisted his father in 1'doing up
Cunningham. So far as we can learn
no arrest has been made, but Corley
is said to be at home and can be
gotten at any time.

STUDENTS HAVE A CLOSE CALL.
Entire Gable in South End OF Marshall
College Building Blow Down.

AT 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon
a destructive windstorm passed over
this section doing immense damage.
The entire gable in the south end
of the Marshall College building col
lapsed but fortunately the massive
stone and large pile of brick fell out
ward and when the debris struck the
ground the report was heard for
squares away.
Had the gable fell inward the re-
suit would simply have been awful.
One hundred and twenty five stu
dents were in the recitation rooms
just beneath and but few il any
would have escaped.
The terrible crash caused panic
among the students in the building
and half a dozen or more ladies fell
in faint and regular panic en-
sued. Some of them had to be car
ried from the building and are yet
very weak from the excitement.
The Advertiser representative was
soon on the scene and Prof Corbly
was interviewed. He claims that
the accident was caused by the win
dows on the west side of the third
floor blowing in and the wind rush
ing in forced the gable outward.
There was no more school in the
building this afternoon and the
south side of the building presents
a dilapidated scene.
Carpenters were at once put to
work on the wrecked building and
everything will be in readiness for
school to resume Monday morning.
The big steeple on the Congrega-
tional church at the corner of Ninth
street and Fifth avenue was dam
aged by large portion of the slate
blowing away.
A top of a chimney ON Third ave-
nue. fell on the roof of one of the
porches at the residence of F. B.
causing slight damage.
As usual Central City came in for
a share of the damage during the
storm. The Bung factory in that
town was blown from its foundation,
and all Of the windows on the west
Of some of the store rooms on Adams
avenue were blown in. Slight dam
age is reported from Guyandotte and
Ceredo and all the wires south of
here are down Huntington 4dver-
Itser.
