The Surprise of All.

James Jones, of the drug firm OF
Jones & Son. Cowden. ILL.,, in speak
ing OF DIR. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with Ia grippe, and her case grew SO
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into hasty con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots OF
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DR..
Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton, coughs and colds is guaranteed
to do this good work. Try it. Free
trial bottles at Hartz & Ullemeyer's

MAJOR JOSEPH GOES.
He is ordered to Expects
to soon start for Cuba--i He IL n sur
geon and vii, serve in that capacity.

Major G. NJ. Joseph has received
his orders to join the National
Guard and has started to Charles
ton on the noon train At the train
while he was being told good bye by
his many friends he was presented
with a handsome boquet by little
Mar Keck who is one of his staunch
friends. The act was very grace
full one and it touched the handsome
Major deeply.
He will proceed first to Charles
ton and then from there go to For
tress Monroe where he expects to
embark for Cuba in short time.
He has learned from unofficial
sources which are considered very
reliable that there will be an army
of forty thousand men, ten thousand
being regulars and the rest militia
taken from there to Cuba in the near
future He will be one of the sur
geons who are to go with them.
While he is away he has promised
to write to this paper about his ex-
periences ard we shall take great
pleasure in publishing the letters as
they are received. We hope that he
may have all the benefits possible
out of such an experience as that on
which he is at present embarked.

The two paragraphs following are
from the Monongahela Republican.
We reproduce them to show the
class of soldiers they have in Penn

Congressman Robbins is quarter
master of the second brigade. He
talks of resigning his seat in Con
gress, and going to the front. He
will go to Mount Gretna ON Thurs
day.

AT CHARLESTON.
The National Guard is now as
Sembled.

Charleston special says that y row
is being raised-Many OF the cores
pendent statements are Untrue-A0w
the matter really stands rs between
Col. CasfeeI and Col. Smith--The lat
ter will likely remain at home ansi
the former will be second in Com
mand OF the Regiment from this state
Many of the members of the guard are
Refusing to volunteer and others are
being Rejected by the Examiners--A
number of raw men who are anxious
to go may have to be taken after all.
The West Virginia National
Guard is now at Charleston III ac-
cordance with the orders of the gov
ernor who is acting on the orders
he has received from the war de
partment. The two regiments are
to be consolidated into one and the
Brigade commander General spill
man will be given the command. 1t
was generally understood that Col.
c. L. Smith was to have been second
in command but it has developed
that Assistant Adjutant General
Casteel will have that position
The Charleston correspondent of
the Register states that Smith ranks
Casteel and that it is matter of
politics in the appointment OF the
latter over the former and that an
injustice has been done Col Smith.
This view Of the case is not taken
i by men who are informed on the sub
ject here. They say that Casteel
really ranks Smith and that If he
wants the command he should have
i it
Col. Casteel gets his rank by hav-
! inc been colonel Of the second regi-
ment. He held this position while
Col. Smith was lieutenant colonel of
the first. Consequently by the laws
which govern military precedence he
would rank Col. Smith for all time
unless some very radical change is
made. This being the case there
has been nothing done against Col.
Smith that should not have been
done. Col. Casteel is q graduate Of
the University, married Morgan
town girl and is very well known
here.
| The National Guard will be en-
tirely broken up. They will be re-
/ quired to enlist in the United States
Army as volunteers and they will
have to take very searching physi-
cal examination. A great many of
the men will be unable to pass this
and many more of them are refusing
to go in at all so that a large num-
Der of entirely new men will have to
be taken. This will give chance to
1 the new companies all over the state
who have been clamoring to get into
| the war;
/ Camp has been pitched at Charles
/ ton and the work Of examining the
men and enlisting them is going on
as fast as possible The government
furnishes one surgeon for this board
and Dr. VIM. Davidson, of Parkers-
burg, and DR.. F. S. Thomas of
/ Charleston, are the two which have
received the appointment frona this
state
DR.. A NJ Buchanan can have the
appointment as chaplain but he has
declined it and there are about forty
applicants for it. 1t pays one hun
dred and fifty dollars and is abso-
lutely safe. So it is very desira-

STREET PAVING.
The Plan which has been adopt
ed by the Council.


Some OF the Objections which have been
Raised to the plan by the opponents
TO it who are very much stirred up
over the way IL is to be done-it IL
Different from what the yeters ex-
pected and leaves several important
things out In the cold as far as paw
ing is Concerned-The plans will all
be done on Monday week and the bids
will then be asked for A great deal
Of kicking Is being done How just II
Is must be judged from the facts rs
they exist.
The council went over the ground
yesterday and decided on the streets
that are to be paved and the order
in which they will be taken up. The
engineers told them that the plans
and specifications for all the streets
will be done by Monday week and
the advertising for bids on the work
will not be advertised until that
time
The telegraph and telephone poles
over town are all to be placed in
line SO that they will take up the
least possible amount Of space. At
present there is very little uniformi-
~ and they take up great
deal of ground to no purpose. The
engineer will instruct the owners
where the poles must go and they
will have to be placed at his direc-
ton at once. All the unsightly
poles will have to be replaced with
good ones and the general height of
all Of them will be increased con-
siderably
The different poles have to be
painted different eolors. All the
Bell poles one color. These have
been attended to and are green. The
electric light poles will be an
other and the Peoples phone poles
will be still another. The poles will
then be rather pretty than other
wise and the nuisance of having
them on the streets will be minimiz-
ed.
The council has decided that Main
street is to be paved first. The paw
ing will begin on Front street at
Foundry, and run to Peasants when
it will be taken up Peasants to Main,
then from Peasants to Walnut.
Spruce street will then be attended to
and then the attention of the PAYERS
will be given to Wiley street from
the head of Main to the University.
This will complete the paving.
This, as will be seen, leaves no
pavement on Front street from Wal
nut to Wiley street, does not put
a brick on walnut street and leaves
Spruce street cut off from the rest,
except by the alley at the Wallace
House.
Those who oppose this way Of doing
it are loud in their protestations, and
seemingly not without reason. II
one will look at it for himself he will
see that the way it is proposed to fix
the thing is far from perfect aud
does not do what the council said was
to have been done when the election
was held. They should make some
provision for Walnut street, and they
should look after Front street. Spruce
cut off from the rest will not do the
town very much good il it is paved,
and if it is left in the shape that it is
proposed to leave it, 1t might as well
go unpaved. These are the argu-
ments being used by the opponents to
the plan and they are very hot about
the matter.
