A Good Motto.

The New York correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Dispatch recently had
the following suggestive bit of wis
dom for business men in his column.
Robert @. Ogden, head of the great
house of John Wanamaker, in this
city, made an address before the Mer-
chants Association to-day on "Ad-
vertising as Business Force.n Mr..
Ogden said the success of the business
depended upon three things -merchan-
disc, service and advertising-and he
looked upon the latter as the dynamic
power of the business. He said that
advertising, to be successful, should
be continuous. The advertiser must
have courage. "Most men are afraid
to go beyond certain point" con-
tinued Mr. Ogden, who knows what
he's talking about; but if a man has
not the money, to advertise, he might
as well get out of the business" He
closed by saying the motto Of the
successful business man is ssEarly to
bed, early to rise, don't get tight and
advertise" Think it over.

THE CONTRACT LET.
Huston and Domain are to Build the
new Restaurant on the Cox 4 Baker
lot on Main street-Building will be
Done on the first OF June.

Cox 4 Baker have given the con-
tract for the new building to go on
their lot ON Main street to take the
place Of the old restaurant occupied
by c. L. st. Clair to Huston a De-
main. The cost will be somewhere
in the neighborhood of fifteen hun
dred dollars. Work will begin on
the building the first of the week
and it will be ready for occupancy
on the first of June or sooner.
1t is to set back eighty feet from
Main street and is to be Of two sto-
ries and of frame. 1t will be used
for a restaurant and tailor shop.
The front lot will be leveled and
filed in with earth and put down in
grass making it very pretty place.
1t is the intention of Cox a. Baker
to later put up large brick on the
front of the lot but they will not do
it for awhile yet.
Workmen were to have begun on
getting the lot ready TO day but the
rain prevented this. They were to
have torn down the oven which
stands in the place which is to be
taken up by the new building.

AGAINST STURGISS
Or Grant Pitzer Getting The
Nomination from this Dis
trict is Elkins.

He is also Forninst Dayton for a Re-
nomination as he thinks the Latter
Can not be Reelected "A story from
Washington that may be Of Interest
Here-fiow EIkins will line up in
the Coming Fight for the Nomination
for Congress in this District.
WASHINGTON, April l5.-There are
curious stories afoat among West Vir-
ginians in Washington to the effect
that Senator Elkins has become con-
WINGED that Representative Dayton
can not be reelected in the Second
district if he gets the nomination,
and has made up his mind that for
his own sake it will be necessary TO
throw Dayton overheard and put an
/, other name on the ticket this fall
instead Of that of the present Rep
re sentative. 1t is said that the de-
cision to sacrifice Dayton was reached
at the beginning of last week, when
Governor Atkinson, Secretary of
State Dawson. and other leading Re-
publicans of the State were here to
urge the passage of Dayton's bill for
the creation of another judicial dis
trict. After long conferences with
the Senator regarding the bad outlook
for Republican success in the Second
district this fall, it was decided that
Dawson should 20 to the district and
try to make arrangements with ex-
State Senator Thos. e. Davis, of
Grafton, to become a candidate for
the Republican Congressional nomi-
nation in place of Dayton. Senator
EllSins is believed to have had more
reason to desire that Davis should
take the nomination. In the first
place, Davis is thought to be the
strongest man in the district the
only man who would have a ghost of
a show to carry the district this fall.
Secondly, it is said that Senator FL
kins is aware that Davis feels very
bitterly toward him because the in
ternal revenue collectorship went to
another man, AMI is nursing his
wrath with view to getting even
with Elkins when the latter comes up
for reelection to the Senate in 1901.
So the Senator planned to run Davis
for Congress instead of Dayton, aud at
the same time strengthen the general
party lines by avoiding defeat in
the Second district this fall But
when Secretary Of State Dawson went
to Davis with the proposition. he met
with most frigid reception. The
Grafton man wouldn't listen to him,
and is said to have intimated that he
wouldn't take the Congressional NOM
ination this year under any considera
tion, because he was convinced that |
no Republican has the ghost of "a |
show to win.
So far as heard from, no further at |
tempt has been made by Senator Ell
kins to find man to take the noh,;-
nation instead of Dayton. The Sen;s-
tor, it is said. will not hear to either
Sturgiss or Grant Pitzer getting the
nomination for neither OF those men
is the kind that can be controlled by
him, which seems to be a prerequisite
in any prospective candidate.

AT A MOMENTS NOTICE.
The West Virginia ~ ational
Guard stands ready to move.

ment. the names Of the Soldier boys
here.
Col. Clarence L. Smith Of the r irst
regiment National Guard was here
on Tuesday and as result of his
visit the local guardsmen are all
ready to go to the front. He no.ti-
fled them to be ready to move at a
moments notice no matter whep it
might come. lie has received orders
from headquarters to that effect and
he is very anxious to have his men
ready when they are called upon.
As to when the notice may come
he did not know and of course did
no. tell the men but he did say that
he expected it very soon. When
here he told them that the notice
might come on Tuesday night and
if so q special train would be sent at
ter them. If it were possible they
would be taken on the regular trains
but if the time was such that
there would be no regular trains for
several hours special would be
here as soon as it could be sent from
Fairm0nt,
He thinks that the order will come
soon and the men who are affected
by the state of affairs here are all of
the same mind. They are all ready
and will be ready to board the first
train after the orders come. They
are all of the same mind and think
that the brush with Spain will not
be of very long duration.
While the visit of Col. Smith here
was to notify the guardsmen of what
was expected of them he also had to
look after the papers in the office Of
w. j. White where all the papers Of
the regiment are kept as White is
the adiutant These were gotten
ready for the scrap and those which
were necessary should the regiment
be called out were put aside where
they can be gotten at a moments no
tice.
There is of course a strong proba-
bility that the guard will not be
called out but it is best that they be
ready in case they are. The guaro
will mobilize at Grafton in case they
are called out from here and
will go as the war departments di-
reefs. The local officers who would
go are, Col. MeDermott, Captain G..

tain W. ]. White, adjutant, Lieute-
nants c. A. Osborn, II A. Eaton, G.

..The Posiv Leads. as Usual.

1t is a matter of general comment
that "The Pittsburg Post" leads all
its contemporaries in the printing of
the news, and it has maintained it's
reputation in the past few weeks
while the war clouds were gathering.
1.-THE Post" not only publishes the
best and most accurate reports, but
gives them in the most logical and
attractive style.
In this respect, as in all Others,
"The Post" took the lead. Envious
competitors have ridiculed ssThe
Post" for its up-to-date and original
makeup, but one by one they are
dropping into the procession and imi-
tating "The Post" in typographical
appearance. 1.-THE Post" is glad to
see this, and will endeavor to set a
lively pace, as it always has done.
Not only has 1.-THE Pittsburg Post''
led in the publication of domestic
news, but it has all the news sources
of Europe guarded by watchful, train
ed correspondents. The result is ap-
parent.
Keep your eye on 1.-THE POST when
war breaks out 1t will continue to
the high standard already set up. All
the news all the time, carefully edited
and attractiyely printed. Ask your

Morrison's ssFaust,

From the many pulpits next Sunday
Satan will receive body blow and
sin will be condemned in vigorous lam

preached by the clergy can be more
powerful, and picture with more real

will be seen here at The Opera House
on Wednesday April 20.
The "a pit orator can give de-
script'on of the abode of the damned,
as he fancies it, but the Morrison
Company presents the entire internal
arrangements of the iurid dwelling
place, with its darts of fire and cleo
trio flashes while at the same time
there is given an impersonation of
his satanic friendship, so weirdly
wicked and horrifying as to cause
one to shudder with fear and abhor-
renee. of this be hell, then / want

by many after witnessing this truly
marvellous production. A large num-
Der Of startling stage effects are en-
ployed which add strength to the

play frequently and flashes of the

stantly seen. A cross starting into

THE FAIRMONT EVENT.
Dramatic Club will play there for the
Benefit Of the athletic association "a.
the 21st Ofthis month.

BeneHu OIL the annette association Sis
the 21st ofthis month.
The Athletic club this morning
entered into a contract with the
dramatic club of the university
whereby that aggregation of capable
amateur thespians is to give a per-
Torrance here for the benefit of the
Athletic club the 21st of this month.
The university will put on the old
English drama Caste" and will
have also the university orchestra,
% people in all. The dramatic club
is one of the new features of life at
the university, and some of the
Fairmont people attending the
school are in the membership All
of the members, both women and
men, are regularly enrolled students
and the performance here will be the
first one given under the auspices of
the club outside of Morgantown.
The funds derived will be for the
benefit of the Athletic club, and it is
hoped that the house may be filled.
The performance will be well worth
the price of admission, as those tax
ing part have been carefully drilled
for months past, and have success
fully produced a number of plays.
The affair will be made an especially
notable one socially, and it is likely
that a reception to the members of
the club may be arranged to come
after the performance-Erpositor.

THE UNIVERSITY.
The Attendance is still CROWN e
and where 1t will stop is
Problematical.


Six hundred and thirty-two names ar,
on the roll and the students are still
Coming There will be lots of stu
dents here for the Summer Quarter
Increase has surprised the aasheri-
ties who have seen the high water
mark which they set last fall disap
pear under the waves of new students
New gain is nearly two hundred--Ail
Records are smashed Increase In
the College and among the women
students where II is of the best char.
acter--A most satisfactory showing
for the school.
The attendance at the University
is steadily growing and after having
reached the high water mark set for
it by the authorities has gone right
on and there is no telling where it
will end. After the opening of the
present term few more students were
expected but they are still coming
in at the rate of one or two day
and the number on the rolls is now
632. This is an advance over last
year of nearly two hundred and has
amazed the authorities. The at
tendance is made up of solid sub
stantial set of men and women for
the most part and they are here for
the good they can get out of the
school,
The indications are that the at
tendance for the summer quarter
will be very good one and many
of the students coming in now are
going to stay for that quarter The
large number of eminent men and
women who are to be here to lecture
this summer has had very good ef-
feet on the attendance and on its
quality.
Nearly one hundr d of the present
attendance is made of women and
large number Of these have come in
this term. They have been attract
ed in many instances by the Won.
ans League of the University which
gives the women of the state great
inducement to come. They can now
feel that there is something here es-
pecially. for them and they have
taken advantage of the invitation in
a way that is great surprise to
those who have been SO freely pro-
phesying that the experiment of
co-education was failure.
The field agent and the authori-
ties generally are very much pleased
over the showing in the attendance
and are only afraid that they will
not be able to duplicate the record
next year. All records in attendance
have been badly smashed. The total
here is increased nearly two
hundred, the net increase is nearly
twice what it has been in any one
year and the number of college and
women students has been greatly
The increase is right
where it will do the most good. The
people of the state are very proud
OF the state institution and are tax
ing advantage of what it offers them
in a way hat is very encouraging to
all concerned. Before the century
closes there bids fair to be one thous
and students here. To that end all
who are at the head of affairs at the
University should bend every ener-
gy. When the goal is reached there
should be a great jubilation and
there very probably will be.

When wear begins to exceed repair
in your body you are going to be sick.
The signs of it are: loss of flesh, pale
ness, weakness, nervousness, etc. The
repair needed is food. You think
you eat enough, and you feel that
you wear out more tissue, energy,
nerve-force than your food makes for
you. The difficulty is that you do
not digest enough. And this is so
serious it is worth sitting down seri-
ously to think about. If you can't
digest what you eat, take few doses
OF Shaker Digestive Cordial. The eff
feet Of it will be to increase your flesh
and make you feel stronger. You
won't fall sick. Proof that it is in
control of your repair apparatus. It's

tive Cordial.

WORK BEGUN.
The Actual Work on the Con-
struction IF the Locks and
Dams Under Way.


First Work Done on Tuesday - Had
Been good deal Of preliminary work
done but this is the first step on the
Construction-Maj Powell and En-
NETT ShowaIter get the titles for num-
bers ten and eleven Other sites will
not be bought until they are wanted.
Major Charles Powell who has
charge of the building of the locks
and dams on the river been here and
Fairmont has been in town on bust
ness connected with them and has
now returned to PIt6sburg. While
here he and Assistant District At
torney L. M. Showalter, of Falrmont
settled with the owners of the sites
for ten and eleven. These two are
the only ones that have been bought
yet and the only ones that are need
ed just now. The others will be
purchased as they are needed.
Major Powell does not think that
the threatened war even if it should
break out will stop the work nor
materially hinder it and he is doing
all he can to have the work rushed
as fast as possible.
The first work was done on the locks
on Tuesday. The men have been on
the ground for some time and have
been opening quarries on the West
side and getting ready for the work
but they had not began the work
until that time They will do it
just as fast as it can be done right
as there is Il disposition on the part
of everyone who has any connection
with the improvements to lose no
time whatever and to get the river
ready for navigation. A great deal
of the work is to be done this sum-
mer and but few years will be re-
quired to do it all.
There is good deal of dissatis-
faction among laboring men over
the way the work is being done.
The wages are not as high as those
which obtain here and Italians for
the most part will be employed.
This the laporing element is growl-
ing over and with some show of rea-
son but Mr.. Mcdonald cannot be
blamed for wanting to get his work
done as cheaply as possible. How
ever as long as work elsewhere is as
plentiful as it is there will be no
serious amount of kicking as the
men who are dissatisfied can go
some where else to work and will
not have to accept the wages paid
by the contractor.

JOHN HUNTS PARTY.



The biggest time that was ever seen
among the colored people Of Morgan
own was John Hunts birthday party
Tuesday night. John was twenty
seven and he had sent out very hand
some Invitations to all his friends to
come down and help him to celebrate
that fact. They all came and when
the crowd had assembled there were
fully 1fty in attendance. The decor
ations were very elaborate and very
handsome, rejecting great deal of
credit on the good taste OF those who
put them up.
An elegant supper was served in the
early part OF the evening and the lat
ter part Of the evening was devoted
10 dancing. A good orchestra was
present and nothing was lacking To
make the occasion the most enjoyable
chat ever occurred In colored society
circles.
