In Memoriam.

Rheumina I. Stewart, nee Snyder,
was born near Georgetown, Mononga-
liza county, February II, 1895. She
was the daughter of Colonel David r.
Snyder, of whose family two sons and
six daughters are still living.
On the 10Th of December, 1871, she
was united in marriage to Major d. B.
Stewart, who with their two sons,
Terence ID. B. and Clyde w. II.
mourn with deep sorrow the depar-
ture from earth of one whose presence
and love had frightened their home.
In the winter of 1S64-5 she gave
her heart and service to Christ, and
united with the NJ. E. church, in
which fellowship she remained until
her death. Although she seldom took
much part in public service, yet her
life was consistent and like the beau
tiful perfume of the modest flower, il
spoke the Masters praise and glad
dened and blessed other lives. BY
her kind thoughtfulness for her neigh
bors In times of sickness or distress,
she manifested true sympathy with
the sorrow of Others, and many will
gather beautiful flowers from the gar
den Of remembrance wherein she
sowed the seeds of kindness.
She never enjoyed very robust health
and for number OF years had been,
at times, a great sufferer. But these
sufferings ended on the evening Of
July 4, 1897, and the happy spirit re-
leased from the prison house of clay,
went home to God. Verify she rests
from her labors, but the influence
which her life has started shall con-
tinue to bless and help those in whose
hearts she still lives. /. A. d.

West MOrgnnt0wn.

WEST MoRGANTowN, July 13.-Fisi
Waters new house will soon be finished
and when done will be one OF the nicest
homes on the West Side.
Mr.. Clarence Keck and wife spent
the 4th at Taylortown.
Mrs. P, H Keck and Mr.. Lloyd Brown
Miss Lizzie Kussart and Mrs. John
Kussart spent the 4th at Taylortown
They report good time.
Mrs. w. w. Keener has returned
from visit to Grafton.
Mrs. Johnson, of Brownsville is with
her son George.
Think we will have wedding to re-
port soon from the way things look
now.
Mrs. Henderson is on the sick list.
Hope she will soon recover.
Mr.. Frank Lite and bride have gone
to housekeeping in one Of Harvey Sny-
der's tenement houses.
Mr.. Shehen, of Greensburg, has
moved to our town and lives in MILAN s
house.
Clarence Keck's new house is nearly
done and is very pretty little house.
Mr.. Lloyd Brown spent Saturday and
Sunday in Clinton at his old home.
He went to Ridgedale on his wheel in
so minutes, a distance OF miles.
Susan Holt is staying at Dock Hol-
lands for the summer.
Miss Elizabeth Kussart is making her
home at Rev. Beddow's.
The many friends OF Mr.. P. H. Keck
will be glad to know he is able to go
about the house again after month s
sickness. May he still gain until he can
60 out again.
Miss Hattie Stoneking is making her
home with Mrs. P. II. Keck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Lazzell are visiting
friends at Vaudeville,
Mrs. Fisk Waters and daughter, Adj
die, spent Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Smith at Vaudeville. Went to
see the new boy good luck, Harry.
Mr.. Boyles is doing good business in
his new store. Belleview will soon
need more stores.
The way people in the country are
treated by the people of Morgantown
keeps them away from town. When
we go to town we must take enough
money to get meal and spend it to get
across the bridge and then pay for
place to hitch our horses, so, Mr.. Editor,
that is the reason we West Siders do
not come to town except when we are
compelled to come. If Morgantown can
live without the country people, they
can live without Morgantown. The
country people are not "beholden" to
the town people, but the town looks to
the country for her bread.

THE Kingwood Argus has the fol
lowing items which may interest our
readers:
Charles |. Trowbridge, of Nor
gantown, came over this week after
his wife's mother, Mrs. Samuel Bla-
ney, to nurse her as she is down
with typhoid fever
A small crowd of. Browns from
Kingwood and Morgantown met last
Saturday at Mt. Vernon near the
old Half Way House on the pike be-
tween here and Morgantown and
had picnic in the grove there.
Those from Morgantown were Hon.
John j. Brown and family. From
this place the party consisted of Hon.
w. G. Brown and mother, Mrs. M.
p. Brown, and daughter Miss Jessie
and Col. James w. Brown.
The Board of Education of this
place has let the contract for the
stone-work and basement of the adj
dition to the academy, to John NJ
Keane Il Co., of Grafton, for about
$3.50. There were quite number
of bids from parties at Oakland,
Morgantown, Wheeling and King
wood, and they ranged from the
above which was the lowest up to
about $l400 The successful bid
ders have been notified to come on
and give bond and proceed with the
work.
W. L. Wharton has arrived in
Denver on his trip west for his
health. Letters from him convey
the welcome information that he is
very much improved already. We
hope to be able before long to give
our readers some very interesting
letters relating his expert noes in
the far west.

charge Of the seven locks aud dams,
and be has already notified the EN-
ployes of the navigation company
that they will be retained in their
several offices, with the exception OF
those whose services are no longer
necessary. The lcokkeepers are: w.
p. Speakman, No. i; Charles W.
Wood, No. 2; George R. Cornell, No.
3; A f. MCGOWAN, No. 4; A. L. Mil
liken, No. 8; Thomas S. Speakman.
No. 6 and Georgs A. Lutes, No. I.
it's understood that some charges
will be made in the amount of sala-
ries paid. The priced men will
probably get reduction, and the
wages of the laborers will be in
creased. The management of the
locks and dams will also entail a
considerable increase in the volume
of business in the engineers office.
Major Powell says he will just feel
his way along in the management of
the newly acquired property, and il
he finds it necessary the clerical
force will be increased from time to
time.
No special appropriation has been
made for the operation of the locks
and dams. All expenditures for re-
pairs and improvements will have to
come out of the general fund set
aside by congress for the mainte-
nance of waterways throughout the
United States. Major Powell made
a trip up the Monongahela river a
few days ago for the purpose of in
vestigating the new government
property. He says the government
will at once begin to make improve
ments and repairs.

AN ASSURED SUCCESS.
The "Cheat Canon Club" Starts Off
AuspiciOusly.

The plans of the promoters of the
"Cheat Canon Club" have succeeded
far beyond their expectations already
and the movement is gaining new
strength every day. More stock has
already been subscribed than was at
first proposed to be issued and the
club will be greater success than
any thing similar ever attempted in
Morgantown. The substantial as.
.surances of support and interest of the
public is very gratifying and the de-
termination is now to establish a re-
sort second to none in the country.
The first meeting was held at the
Office of the Union Improvement COM
pany Monday night and an organiza-
tion effected. The committee on
buying site consisting of Prof W.P.
Wiley and Hon. Joseph Moreland re-
ported that they had purchased five
acres on the "Bayles point" which
lies on the Ices Ferry road at its
prettiest part. Here the view is the
most picturesque and has elected the
greatest praise from all beauty loving
people who have ever visited this sec
ton.
The club house is to be built right
on the pike and will thus be easy of
access over the finest road in the coun-
try. The plans are being drawn up
by Architect Elmer f. Jacobs and the
building will be Swiss castle. A drive
way will be cut down the slope to the
river through the property of the club
and sites made for cottages and
camps for members who prefer this
to staying at the club house. The
whole property will be improved by
skilled landscape gardening with an
eye to preserving its rustic beauty
and adding to its picturesqueness.
A building committee was appoint
ed and given power to let the contract.
The building will be ready for occu-
pancy some time next month. A COM
mittee was also appointed to secure a
charter and the club will be organized
as joint stock company. So while
the main idea is pleasure the bust
ness end will receive careful attention
and the scheme conducted by our best
business men. The stock will soon
be at par or above in the market and
every citizen of the town will be in
terested in the movement. That it
has succeeded so well is very crafty
ing to US and we hope that at no time
will the outlook be less promising
than it is now.

THE people OF West Virginia
should not lose sight of the impor-
tant fact that the late Republican
legislature repealed the law impos-
ing tax on the sale of cigarettes.
They should also bear in mind that
this tax was repealed to carry out a
pledge made by the leaders of the
Republican party to the tobacco
trust, as a consideration for a large
contribution to the Republican
campaign fund to corrupt the ballot
in this State at the last election.
Furthermore the repeal of this tax
was secured by Misrepresentation
1t was stated ON the floor at the time
the bill was being considered, that it
only sought to make the law CON
form to late decision of the courts
which had declared the existing law
unconstitutional. This was bald
faced misrepresentation. No such
decision had been rendered. The
Federal courts had only invalidated
the law so far as it affected the tax
ing of cigarettes brought into the
State in the original package and
sold. In order to secure contribu
ton to its corruption fund, the Re
publican leaders repealed one of the
best laws on our statute books. Not
only is the State deprived of consid-
cradle taxes by its repeal, but all
the restriction is removed from one
of the most pernicious articles that
could be put on the Market Wayne
Nevs.

The Washington correspondent
Of the New York Herald has had a
brief interview with Senator Elkins
as to the effect of the increased duty
on coal on the wages Of the miners.
Mr.. Elkins was adroit, as usual, and
postponed prosperity for a year
Said he:
"The enactment of the new tariff
schedule on coal will not apprecia-
bly, affect the rates of wages to mi
ners in the Eastern states. On the
Pacific coast it will be beneficial in
shutting out importations of coal
from British Columbia, Japan, Aus
tralia and Wales, and will allow the
mines of Washington State to be
operated on an equitable basis with
those OF the East. 1t was chiefly to
afford needed protection to the Pa
cific coast mines that the tariff rate
in the Senate bill was raised to 81
cents long ton, which is the same
as the Canadian rate. Next year
the price of coal will undoubtedly
advance, and on account OF the adj
vance it may be possible for some
mine-owners to raise wages. "
This is very comforting to the
coal digger who was informed last
year, that if he helped to put the
Republican party in power, prosper
ity, bounteous, ample and prompt
would be his reward. Now, Senator
Elkins coolly informs the coal miner
that the tax 81 cents ton on coal
will be of no benefit on this side of
the continent. In the far of state of
Washington there may be improve
ment-but none here. Next year
perhaps sit may be possible for
some mine-owner to raise wages"
This sound very much like the talk
of a buneo- steerer Last fall Mr..
Elkins said nothing about prosperi-
ty being confined. to the state of
Washington in the event Of Re-
publican victory, nor did he say
anything about postponing good
times for year. He was certain
then that all that was necessary was
restoration of confidence" and the
mere announcement of the election
of Mckinley would effect that.
Well, Mckinley was elected. The
tariff bill has passed both houses of
Congress. The duty on coal has
been increased to 81 cents ton,
and Mr.. Elkins now states that next
year sit may be possible for some
mine owners to raise wages.
The miner clearly has right to
think that he has been buncoed.
Somebody is going to get the benefit
of that 67 cents ton tax on coal.
Why doesn't the miner get his
share? Is the mine-owner who con
tributed to the Hanna corruption
fund last year going to hog all the
benefits? 1t looks like it.-Charies
