Local Notes from FaIrmont.

The soldier boys who returned here
Monday report camp life as anything
but pleasant and that the eating Of
hard tack and sleeping on the soft
side of plank were things not to b.
desired.
Prof. w. r.. Standiford and Prof
j. G. Knutti returned from Charles
ton last night as they could not secure
places as officers In the consolidated
regiment and did not care to yolun
teer as privates.
E. b. Carney decided not to apply
for a position In the public schools
next year and the friends of the schoo
will hear OF this decision with regret.
He is an excellent teacher and was
very successful this year.
The other day Col. @. l.. SINNERS
valuable horse, Commonwealth, ;
which is at Moundsville, broke loose
from the jockey and run into wire
fence receiving injuries which it Ii
feared will ruin it. The horse is q
very yaluble one, $1,000 having been
refused, and it was goer. The colo
mel was in Moundsville last week but
has given up selling the horse.
''How did this happen?" asked
DR.. Pratt, as he dressed the wound
in the cheek and applied sooth-
ing poultice to the damaged eye.
SCOT hit with stone,' replied the
patient. "Who threw it?r sMy-my
wife," was the reluctant answer.
Hum; it's the first time / knew a
woman could hit anything she aimed
at" muttered the Doctor. &c She
was throwing at the neighbor's hens, y

SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Is tbs smount spent by the West Virgin.
IL Farmers for Commercial fertili-
zers-1hey should Endeavor to get
the worth Of their money.

During the year 1897, the people
of this state spent over $4,000 for
commercial fertilizers, and it seems
highly probable that the sales this
year will far exceed that amount.
The subject is certainly worthy OF
very careful consideration on the
part of the farmers of this state.
No more important problem con
fronts them than that of the fertility
of West Virginia soils. The West
Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station is devoting the lions share
of it's energies to this problem. The
Director Of the Station has just com
pleted most happy arrangement
with the Director of the State Geo
logical and Economic Survey, where
by samples of all representative
soils of the state will be taken un.
der the immediate supervision OF
our eminent geologlst, and these
when analysed by the Station chem,
list, will serve as the basis Of all fu-
ture Investigations along these lines
Meanwhile, extensive plat expert.
ments are being carried on and it
seems only reasonable to hope that
results of greatest value will be OBJ
tanned
A special Bulletin on the subject
has been prepared by the station
and will be mailed free to any farm
er who requests it.

THEY'RE OFF.
The New Recruits Have Gone
to Camp Lee.


Twenty Five are taken-More wanted
to go but they are not wanted "A
second call may come later and a
Company enlist Here--Names OF the
men who wanted to go-Some Of these
Failed to Come ct-They win be AS
signed to the Different Companies
where they are Needed--First time
Morgantown has had a chance to send
any one to the Front-She expects
them to do their duty at all times.
The word has come at last to go
and the men from Morgantown who
have been so anxious to get chance
to free Cuba have at last started for
Charleston to enter the regiment
from this state. Frank st. Clair on
Sunday received a telegram from
Adjutant w. J.White to get as many
men here as he could and to notify
the people of Charleston how many
could be secured. A notice was
posted that men were wanted
and the response was very crafty
ing.
Twenty-fiv men were soon secur-
ed and there was no further effort to
get more. Then came a time of
waiting for news from headquarters.
Finally the welcome news came to
get ready and come.
A notice was then given to the
men to prepare to leave here on the
noon train and they Immediately got
in shape to go and have left for the
capital city. They will be examined
and if they are physically sound
they will be taken into the regiment
If not they will be sent back here
at the expense of the State.
These are the first men to leave
Morgantown outside of the officers
and their example would be follow
ed by many more if the chance
should offer itself. There is not
town in the State which can turn
out more volunteers than this place
nor will the men who go prove to be
better than the men from here The
town will watch them and will ex-
pect them to make a creditable
showing. They have the example
of the men who went from here dur
ing the late war to emulate and
should strive to be worthy of the
reputation the town already has for
brave soldiers
The names of those who went in
answer to the call are: J. II. Starr,
Floyd Lemaster, A. L. Dorsey, j. M.

The Home Paper.

Your paper tells you when to go to
church, to County Court, and Pro-
bate Court says an eminent divine,
land when to send your children to
school. 1t tells you who is dead,
who is married, who is sick, who is
born and many other things you
would like to know. 1t calls atten-
tion to public enterprises, and advo-
Gates the best of schools; of law and
order in town. 1t records the mar
rage of your daughter. the death OF
your son and the illness of your wife,
free Of charge. 1t sets forth the adj
vantages, attractions of your town
and invites immigration and is first
to welcome newcomers. Yet, in
spite Of all these benefits, some people
say the home paper is not half as good
as the city paper that has no interest
in their business or success. The
home paper, like the home church is
too often neglected by those who are
benefited by it.

A large audience assembled in COM
mencement hall on Wednesday even
ing to hear ex-PresidentJ r. Thomp-
son deliver his lecture on 1.-THE Destiny
of the Great Republic. A great
many of Mr.. Thompson's old friends
and admirers were present to hear
him again. Prof Hodges, who was a
student during President Thompson's
administration, introduced the speak
er with some very felicitous remarks.
Upon his appearance Mr.. Thompson
was greeted with prolonged applause.
He first referred to his experience in
the University AMI stated that when
he became president there were just
AZ students. After five years of tire
less work he left the University with
1877 students. Many pleasant refer
ences were made to those days. He
drew striking contrast between the
University of that day and the great
school of more than six hundred stu
dents to-day. He congratulated Pres
ident Raymond warmly on the sue
cess of his work and expressed prayer
that it might go on forever continually
widening its influence and increasing
its usefulness.
He then lectured for nearly an hour
on the future possibilities of the
greatest country on earth and showed
what brilliant future was before the
Great Republic. The lecture was one
of DR.. Thompson's best efforts and
drew forth applause at several points.
1t was full of hope, giving his rea-
sons for the faith that was within him,
and was pronounced by many of his
hearers the best lecture of the course.
Every one was glad to meet him again
and sorry we don't see him oftener.

When your stomach begins to trou-
BILE you, it needs help. The help it
needs is to digest your food, and, until
it gets it, you won't have any peace.
Stomach trouble is very distressing,
very obstinate, very dangerous Many
OF the most dangerous diseases begin
with simple indigestion. The reason
is that indigestion (not-digestion, not
nourishment) weakens the system and
allows disease germs to attack it. The
antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative.
1t cures Indigestion and renews
strength and health. 1t does this by
strengthening the stomach, by help
ing to digest the food. 1t nourishes
you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is
made of pure herbs, plants and wine,
it is perfectly harmless and will GER
tainly cure all genuine stomach trou-

ST. CLAIR INDICTED.
He will Have to Answer to Felony
Charged.

WEIGH, w. Va, May An in
dictment for felony has been returned
by the grand jury of Mcdowell,
against Col. j. w. st. Clair. 1t seems
that the evidence upon which the
indictment was found is about as fol-
lows. Some time during the cam
paign of 1896, Colonel st. Clair was
making speeches in Mcdowell county
and while at WEIGH, he found him
self short of ready money. He wrote
a check for $50 on the Citizens Ma
tional Bank of Charleston, and sue
decided in getting Mr.. w. p. Payne to
cash it. Mr.. Payne sent the check
to the bank and it was protested. 1t
is also reported that the further fact
developed that Colonel st. Clair had
no account with the Citizens Nation
al.
Mr.. Payne claims that he epeated-
ly wrote Colonel st. Clair about the
matter and never received any salts
faction. He finally went before the
grand jury and had him indicted for
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.

of the Flats was nearly killed las,
night by being kicked by colt. He
was out at the stable with his faith.
err who was taking the colt to water
when it kicked the child on the
head The blow fell with crushing
force just above the right eye The
blow stunned him and he had no,

accounts which had been received
from him. Both DR.. Wades were
called to wait on the little sufferer
and they did all that they could for
him but he is in very dangerous
condition
The chances are against his re-
coyery and should he get over the
accident he sill likely lose the sight
of his right eye. Conclusion of the
brain and probably fracture of the
skull was experienced.

farmer who has the sympathy of all
in the accident which has befallen
his little son. The child is not three

MoRGANTowN, WEST VIRGINIA, WEDNESDAY
COL. FAST CoMMANDANT.
He is Appointed to serve MS such until
an Army Oficer can be sent here--An
Extra Drill for the Cadets.

Prof. r. E. Fast has been appoint
ed as commandant of cadets for the
period which the cadet corps will
have to go without the services ofan
army officer. He will serve while
Lieut.. Lockwood is absent. The APP
pointment is giving general satisfac-
ton among the cadets. Col. Fast
is a thorough military man having
been Colonel of the first regiment
national guard for some years re-
signing the place ON account of i'll
health. He has already entered on
the discharge of his duties.
The cadets have to drill five times
a week now and are getting in fine
condition for the exhibition drills
during commencement week. Some
Of the members objected strongly
against the extra drill but the pro-
test did not go. The drilling during
the warm weather that is to come
this month and next will not be very
enjoyable.

$4,000
Worth of the Late Issue of
Bonds Sold.


The Bank of the MonongaheIa Vale,
Bid Par for that Amount and the
Town Will Accept-No trouble td
Sell the Balance Of them--Council
Could not Take Less than Par foI
them--Arrangements for Paving
Going Rapidly On.
When the sale OF the bonds of the
town of Morgantown was advertised
Messrs Lorentz and Shisler the COM
mittee OF council authorized to sell
them received over one hundred in
quiries from places for full particulars
and the bonds seemed to be in great
demand. Just about that time the
war brooks out and little was done In
the matter as prolong struggle
would unsettle values and rattle the
money market. As it is apparent
that the war will be of small proper
tion things have almost settled down
to their normal condition and bust
ness been resumed as usual. OF
course our people would prefer that
the bonds be taken at home so the
bid of the Bank of the Monongahela
Valley for $40, 900 of the bonds at
par will be accepted. The matter
will be taken up by council at its
meeting next Monday evening and no
doubt closed. All the bonds can be
turned into cash and the work of
street paving can be commenced at
once. City Engineer White will be
present at the next meeting of coun-
Gil and the preliminaries will no
doubt all be arranged. There seems
to be nothing in the way of beginning
the work very soon and pushing 1t to
early completion.

DIR. JOSEPH IL BACK.
A company May be Raised in Morgan

will be given the Preference.

DR.. G. M. Joseph is back from
Charleston where he was called by
the governor Inthe reorganization
of the National Guard into one regi-
ment he was displaced and would
have had to have taken much low
erplace than he has at present. How
ever he would have been next to the
highest surgeon in the regiment.
The reduction was so great and the
other men apparently so anxious tc
go that he gave way for them and
will wait for a second call when he
will then take his regular place.
While in Charleston he had some
conversation with Gen. Appleton on
the situation and the chances are
that there will be company wanted
from here later. Gen. Appleton
thinks that there will be second
call on this state and if it comes
Morgantown is to be given first
chance to raise company. The
authorities are anxious to give us
precedence and a company can read.

most part of men who have had

at $3.50 P. M. aged 70 years, having

same way concerning her. Mrs

well known especially to our older
residents. For many years deceased

HIS REMAINS RECOGNIZED.
A man thought 10 be tramp killed
His remains claimed by his brother.

About ten days ago a man was
killed at Terra Alta who was
thought to be a tramp and was
buried at public expense. The sto-
ny of the affair is given by the Terra
Alta Republican as follows:
1t will be remembered that the
dead man had in his pocket small
note book in which was written the
name and address; "Wm. A. Zoll-
ner, Indianapolis, Ind Mr.. Pick
up, an employee in the Terra Alta
Wooden Mills, hearing of the matter,
called on and stated to Mr. Jones
that he knew man by the name of
''Zollinger," who resided at Indian
apolis. Struck by the similarity of
the names, Mr.. Jones addressed a
letter OF inquiry to 'sWm. A. collin
ger" The answer came back signed
by "Charles III. Zollner," and in
which the writer stated that he had
a brother named "Wm. A. Zollner."
Mr.. Jones Immediately replied and
as result Mr.. Zollner came on here
Monday as above stated. During
the morning the grave was opened
and as soon as Mr.. Zollner caught
sight of the body he recognized it as
that of his brother. The remains
were brought into j. II. Rodeheaver
a Sons undertaking rooms and and
prepared for burial. They were in
cased in handsome metallic caskct
aud shipped to Fremont, Schuylkill
county, Pa, the boyhood home of
the Zollners, where they we're in
tered beside the father and mother
who long since departed this life.
Mr.. Zollner stated to the writer that
his brother had been a cigar maker
by trade and was Of wandering dis
position; that he had been his moth
er's darling to the day of her death,
but that after that he had severed
the family ties and become rover.
Said that his brother had visited
him regularly in indianapolis and
was always well-dressed and appear
ed eontented and happy. Although
ever on the go, Mr.. Zollner said that
his brother was not a bad man, but
on the contrary was large hearted
and liberal and had good christian
traits of character, being unforuu-
nately his own enemy. Mr.. Zollner
expressed himself as surprised that
his brother-or that any man
should be laid to rest anywhere in
this Christian land without a prayer
or other services by minister; and
the rebuke to us as a Christian peo-
pie is deserved one, is it not?
