THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
Democrats of the County are
Meeting this Afternoon.

Weather Interferes with the turnout.
However there is a very Fair Repre-
sentation Present-WOrk of the Con-
yention Alexander Eddy for County
Superintendent of Free Schools.
County Committee will be ReOrgan-
ized-J0hn Alexander to Resign-His
Successor will be Chosen-There is
but one Man for the Place i'm the
Judgment of the Party-Other bust
ness to be Done.
The Democratic county conven-
ton is being held this afternoon as
we go to press in the feed store be-
longing to Jason Clark in South
Morgantown. The weather has in
terfered with the attendance to some
extent but there is a very fair gath
ering for the party which is as hope
lessly in the minority as the Demo
Gratis are in this county.
The people who are here are all
enthusiastic and in earnest for the
coming campaign. They report ev-
erything in splendid shape for the
fray and say that they do not feel
the slightest doubt as to the outcome.
Every district in the county is we'll
represented except Battelle and
there is one or two from that who
are in town.
The convention will be held first
and then the county committee will
have a session, The work of the
convention is not expected to take
very long. Who the various nomi-
nees are to be is hard to tell exceptin
the case Of the county superinten-
dent. In this case Alexander EDDY
of Battelle district will more than
likely be chosen. He is peculiarly
fitted for the position being a teach
er Of several years experience and is
a member of the graduating class
at the University. Those who know
say that he viii makea good run for
the place as he will receive the sup
port of every school man in the
county who has the real good Of the
cause at heart.
The other nominations cannot be
guessed at although they will be the
very best men it is possible to name.
After the convention the county
committee will be called together for
the purpose of recognizing and get
ting ready for the campaign. John
Alexander who has been the chair
man for several years has stated
that it is his intention to resign and
his successor will be elected. j. j.
Wharton is the unanimous choice Of
the party for this position and he
will be chosen without dissenting
voice. He will make an ideal chair
man and he will do everything that
is possible to be done in this county.
The committee, will also take the
list Of the ehallengers and election
commissioners at the various voting
places and submit them to the coun-
ty court. The men named will act
as such on election day, Other inn
portant business will also be taken

Prof. Waitman T. Barbe, Of the
West Virginia University, was in
town Monday. He came this far to
meet Mrs. Barbe, who has been visit
ing at Parkersburg. He speaks very
hopefully of the University for the

have seventy more applications for
cadetships than can be accepted. -

A Perfect Performance.

At variety entertainment given in
aid of popular institution one of the
turns was a ventriloquist. AS this
gentleman was recognized as one of the
cleyerest members of his profession. his
appearance was looked forward to with
much interest. At last it came The
stage attendants carried ON TO the stage
three dressed figures, seated in chairs, as
usual. The professor followed and then
went through an astonishing perform
ance. No one could detect a muscle Of
his face move during the laughable dia-
lCgues, and the changes of voice seemed
marvellous.
On retiring the applause was deafen
ing, and the ventrilOquist had to return
again and again TO thank the audience
for their appreciation. A couple of min
utes or so after, when the audience were
talking among themselves as to how it
was done, they were thunderstruck to
see the three figures get up from the
chairs and walk off the stage also, but
on realizing how completely they had
been ''sOld' the laughter was uproari-
ous The professor had got three of his
friends to take the place Of his usual
'lay" figures for that night only

How to Drink Water.
There are few people, we think, who
thoroughly realize the value Of water
as a beverage or who know how to OBJ
tain the greatest advantage from it.
The effects produced by the drinking Of
water, as pointed ont by our excellent
contemporary, Health, vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. If, for
instance, a pint of cold water be swal
lowed as large draft, or if it be taken

between, certain definite results follow
effects which differ from those which
would have resulted from the same
quantity taken by slipping. Slipping is
a powerful stimulant TO the circulation,
a thing which ordinary drinking is not.
During the act OF slipping the action
Of the nerve which shows the beats Of
th,e heart is abolished, and as a conse-
quence that organ contracts much more
rapidly, the pulse beats more quickly
aud the circulation in various parts of
the body is increased. In addition to
this, we find that the pressure under
which the bile Is Gecreted is raised b
the sipriDg Of fluid. And here is a point
which might well be noted by our read
tIs:
\ glass Of cold water, slowly slipped,
will produce greater acceleration of the
pulse for time than will a glass of
wine or spirits taken at draft. In this
connection it may not lie out of place to
mention that slipping cold water will
often allay the craving for alcohol in
those who have been in the habit of TAX
ing too much of it and who may be en-
deavOring TO reform, the effect being
probably due to the stimulant action of
the slipping.

How Bankruptcy Strikes a Maori.

A Maori chief who lost e40 through
a white storekeeper going through the
bankruptcy court has given the follow
ing lucid exposition of this particular
branch of British jurisprudence: 1.-The
pakeha (white manD who wants to be-
come pakarapu insolvenO goes into
business and gets lois of goods and does
not pay for them. He then gets all the
money he can together, say 60, 900. and
puts all of it except 95 away where no
one can find it. With the 60 he goes to
a ldge Of the court and tells him ht
wants TO becomes pakarapu.
1.-The judge then calls all the lawyers
together, likewise all the men to whom
the pakeha owes money, and he says,
This man is pakarapu, but he wishes
to~6ive you all that he has got, and so
he has asked me TO divide this e5 among
you all. The judge thereupon gives the
lawyers "a and the remaining 81 to the
other men. Then the pakeha goes
home. London Chronicle.

one had a large assortment of
fancy and useful articles from
which to select and many people
availed themselves of the oppor-

The charity ball Thursday
evening drew large crowd.
Everything was carried out in an
intelligent and pleasing manner.
The music was first class and
all who attended pronounce it one
of the very enjoyable social func-
tons of the season. On Friday
and Saturday evenings the drama,
"Under the Spell" was witnessed
by large number of people.
Father Duren has devoted many
hours in drilling the players and
IN other ways preparing for a
couple of evenings that would not
only be profitable to the church
Golfers but even more than that to
present to the public great moral
lesson in the concrete, and in all
this he was eminently successful.
The plot was good and the senti-
ment wholesome.
The saloon-the cesspool of
crime and iniquity, the destroyer
of character and honor; the repos-
tory for all that is base and low
and destructive to human welfare
was painted true to life. Upon
the side of economies there was
also lesson, not only for the
patron of the saloon but also for
the public that tolerates the
licensed saloon be the license ever
so high. We believe that upon
the stage it is possible to depict
human life more infinitely and
perfectly than anywhere else, and
to that end who knows the in
fuence for good the play may
have. Chas. Purves as Col. Will
bur, politician in league with
the saloon element. carried his
part, one of the heaviest and most
difficult to the end, in a mastery
and natural manner. He is easy
and graceful upon the stage. Miss
Nellie Grey known upon the stage
as Laura Wilbur seemed wholly
unconscious that she was any
thing but the unfortunate out
cast she represented, so much OF
individuality and reality did she
thrust into all the difficult parts.
Her song rendered before the third
act was beautifully sung and
heartily encored. Denis McShane
known to us as Clarence Dodge
brought the house down repeated
ly.
DIR. Radcliffe-Hans Heinrich
was one of the best characters.
His brogue and mannerisms made
him a typical dutchman.
Otis Johnson as Peter Light
foot the saloon keeper lett the i'm
preston with those unacquainted
with his habits of life that he had
been trained III the school OF
"saloonacy:" Otis certainly car
ried his part out we'll.
Lack of space does not permit
US to give more than mention

serve praise for the excellent
rendering of their respective parts.
