GIVES A DELIGHTfUh rNrEDT.lNNrNc
The celebration Of tie seventh ar.v,
sary Of King Arthur L,dgc, a. 20
Knights Of Pytlias, # tbs place "a 81
Friday night, Wa not onlya succc.s in
every respect but p we'd % be ore u The
most pleasant affairs Of the kind ,vor
held here. The weather was al nat
could be desired for an ont da,r cntc
tainmentsand the place was certainly he
most suitable as well as the most attrac-
tive that could have been selected IN the
town.
The large and beautiful lawn surround
ing the residence Of the late Senatal
Riddleberger now the home Of Mr.. NJ.
W. Magruder, was an ideal spot, and
never did it look more attractive than On
the night in question under the soft ligh
of the many colored Chinese lantern,
suspended over it in all directions.
Along one part Of the spacious ground
stood the long table covered with grapes
oranges, peaches, bananas and Other
delicious fruits in the greatest profusion
arr anged in large stands IN the most at
tractive manner and beautiful trimmed
with flowers and evergreens,
Seated along this table the families and
guests Of the Knights, comprising ovel
two hundred ladies and gentlemen, en-.
joyed the fine fruits along with the most
delicious cakes and ice cream, all served
in liberal profusion.
Not single untoward circumstance
happened to mar the enjoyment Of every
one, as the smiling faces to be seen on
every side fully testified.
The Calvary Comet Band, in their
handsome new uniforms, were present,
and the fine music which they so freely
and cheerfully furnished, was one ofthe
most enjoyable features Of the evening,
greatly adding to eyeryone's pleasure. il
the band boys could have heard the
praise so literally bestowed upon them
and their fine playing, especially those
from some of our best and most com
petant musicians, they could not but have
been highly pleased.
Chancellor Commander Jas. H..
Rodeffer, in some well chosen remarks,
made everyone feel welcome, as he
urged them to repair to the tables
and be served by the corps of efficient
and attentive walters with all the re
freshments they could devise.
Past Chancellor, VI. W. Magruder, also
made brief address complimenting and
thanking the band for their kindly ser
vices, and assuring them of the great in
terest that was felt by the people Of town
in their organization.
II has never been cur pleasure to at
tend more thoroughly enjoyable affair,
and in saying this we believe that we
only voice the sentiments Of all who
were present.
King Arthur Lodge is in a most
fourshing condition, embracing as it
does much Of the best m rial in this
section. We congratulate the knights
upon the delightful succ of their en-
.eriainments.

Beware of Clntments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture

contains no mercury, and is taken in

OF some historic interest. No materi-
al for the gavel for the coming session
has been obtained as yet, but 1t is
hoped chat some appropriate wood
may be secured.
The entertainment of the delegates,
while in Parkersburg will deyolve
considerable responsibility upon the
church and town, bat there has been
generous response already from the
members of other churches, besides
the Presbyterian, and there can be
no doubt that Parkersburg will be
eager to welcome into her homes such
a refined and distinguished class of
men,
This is not the first time the Synod
of Pennsylvania has held a session in
Parkersburg, but it will be the most
important that they have held here.
This is because of the great growth
Of the Presbyterian church in West
Virginia during the past ten years.
In that time the local church has in
creased in membership from ls3 to
$50, and in the State there has also
been large increase. The church is
doing good deal of missionary work
in West Virginia and look upon this
territory as full of promise for the
future. 1t is matter of great salts
faction to the Presbyterians in this
State to gain the stimulus to their
work here that the meeting of the
Synod will afford. From now on the
committees of the local church will
be very busy arranging for the COM
ing session.

BIG COKE PLANT.
Southwest Company Begin Operations
on the Revere Tract.

Andrew Palmer, Vice President
of the Illinois Steel Company, ac-
companied by some B. & o. officials,
arrived here on Che B. &c o. Wednes-
day and went over the Fairmont
branch to the Coal Lick branch,
where the initial operations have
been begun for the erection of a
mammoth plant by the Southwest
Connellsville Coke Company, men
toned in last weeks Courier The
plant will comprise 600 ovens and
necessary buildings and machinery.
General Superintendent Cowan, of
Mt. Pleasant has had the company $
chief engineer, Robert Ramsay, Jr.,
at work on the Revere tract for some
time, making surveys for the sink
ing OF the 265-foot shaft, the cree
tion Of company houses and the
foundations for the ovens. The Re
we're tract, on which the plant is to
be located, was formerly owned by
the Revere Coke Company, and six
years ago was merged into the
Southwest Coke Company It orig
inally contained 2,264 acres, but
when II. G. Frick withdrew from the
Southwest Connellsville Coke Com
pany early this year he kept one
half Of the tract in return for the
surrender Of his interest in the
Southwest plants.
Preliminary work has already been
begun The contract for the cree
ton Of the ovens has not been let,
but Lyman Reynolds has been
awarded the contract for drilling
several wells for water. The con
tract has also been let for the saving
of the lumber on the Dawson farm,
from which the timber to be used in
the shaft is to be taken.-Connells-
vile Courier.

West Virginia Railroad Values.


The state board of public works
has made its return of railroad prop
erty in the state to the auditor for
taxation. The total is $21, 625, S24,
against a total last year of $22, 708,-
573. The decrease is due to the
small mileage built the past year
and depreciation of old roads. The
Baltimore and Ohio; Charleston,
Clendennin and Sutton, and West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg
roads show the greatest improve
ment in value, while the Norfolk a.
Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, and
West Virginia and Pittsburg show
heavy depreciation.

The Home Paper.
II. G. CoRBrN,
Adj't General,

An eminent preacher who undoubt-
edly has been careful observer and
possesses an amount OF good sense
makes this strong plea for the home
paper which it would be well for crit
les and faulttinders to take to heart.
He says: Your paper tells you when
to go 10 church, the county court and
probate court and 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 not know. It calls atten-
ton to public enterprise, and a1v0-
Gates the best Of schools, Of law and
order In town. It records the narri-
age of your daughter, the death OF
your son and the illness Of your wife,
free of charge Il sets forth the adj
vantage and attractions Of your own
town. invites immigration and Is the
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 and has no
interest in their business or success.
The home paper, like the chuch, Is
too often neglected by those who are
benefited by it,"

OPENED WE'LL.
University wallops Westmin-
ster by very good score.

First Game Revelation of the ability
of the Varsity bOYs-The team had
the game down Fine Every one is
surprised at the showing Small
crowd present to see it and the man
agement goes in the hole estmin-
ster thinks that we will make good
showing against Wash-Jeff.
The foot ball season has been
opened and it has been opened in
the right way The first game was
a glorious victory. The Westmin-
ster boys came to town with con
quering air and those who were faint
hearted said that the local boys had
no show whatever. But this state
ment has been proven false on many
field and it was shown to be un-
true this time again
The game was expected to be
close. Westminster is not in our
class when the boys are in condition
but they had never had a line up
this year against even a scrub and
their opponents had been in several
games. Many people expected the
score to be as low as six to moth
ing.
The first few rushes showed that
the University was a sure winner
and they ran the score up until it
was q to 0 and the game was called
with the ball three inches from an
other touch down. Both halves.
ended with the ball in our possession
and well advanced toward scoring.
Every man on the team played
well and it surprised every one by
the way the interference was formed
and by the strength Of the line.
This was expected to be weak but
no gains whatever were made
through it
Yeager and McWhorter made the
longest runs. The long grass pre-
vented the former from making a ia
nous run to a touch down. He slip
ped and before he could recover the
Westminster man had nabbed him
Inc game SHOWS one Gnlng ana
that is that we have as good team
as ever represented the University
and the men are now full of conf
dence They laok forward to a good
season and majority of the games
to be victories.
The attendance was very small
and the management went into the
hole The students who remained
away from the game should be
ashamed of the lack of interest they
displayed in the team and they
should do something to demonstrate
that they are back of the men and
Twill do what they can to make the
season q success.
