Are You Prospective wheel Rider9

Then you are interested in the sub
ject of good wheels. You should buy
standard wheel. The cheap bargain
counter wheel will cost you more in
one season in repairs than a good
wheel will as long as you have it.
One season usually does cheap one
while high grade wheel will last for
years. There is no better wheel for
use than the Rambler. It's beauty
too. It's price puts it in the reach of
all and it is built to last. It's grade
is as high as the highest. | have the
agency for it in Morgantown and
would be glad to talk to you before
you make up your mind what you ride
next year. A '9S model, up to date

The law of "the curfew," COMPEL
ing boys and girls under fifteen years
Of age, unless accompanied by parents
or guardians, to be at home by the
hour of 9 p. m. in summer and s. p.
m. in winter was proposed by
National Boys and Girls and Home
Association in 1894. After thorough
experiment, it is found to be an ex-
cellent law, reducing juvenile crime
and diminishing police expenses, and
is approved by judges, police officials,
school authorities and many parents.
Over three hundred towns and cities
have adopted it. 1t largely enforces
itself, the children themselves re-
turning home at an early hour. Many
schools teachers are enthusiastic in
their approval finding boys and girls
returning to school refreshed and with
better lessons. 1t will probably be-
come almost universal in populous
towns.

The NATURALIZATION Co., which
are holding the boards this week, have
introduced to Morgantown the con-
tinuous performance idea. That
is there is no intermission between
acts. Between acts specialties of
high order are introduced. The Louie
Fuller dances with calcium effects are
making a hit. Tonight that old
time favorite hit, East Lynn, will be
produced. La Celeste will dance a
transformation dance which is very
sensational.

DAYTON'S BILL.
Is having a very Rocky Road
to Travel.

At first 1t looked like Sure winner
but Conditions have changed--Judge
Jackson Opposes 1.-THE lawyers
are against 1.-THE Bar Association
FaE0rs it but Others are Fighting Lit
Several MorgantOwn Men are OPP
posed--Atkinson is in Washington to
Help it along-Dayton's personality
aFigure.
The scrap over the judicial bill
which was introduced by Represen-
tative Dayton has gotten quite
warm. The Bar Association at its
meeting here unanimously endorsed
the movement but many of the law
yers over the state were not present
and it has developed that they are
very much opposed to It. Judge
jackson is very much opposed to the
move and his attitude has had a
great effect on the bar of the state.
One of the chief arguments for the
passage of the bill is that the bust
ness of the district is too much for
one Judge to handle. However Judge
Jackson denies this and is fighting
the bill as hard as he can and is
having his friends do all they can
against it.
The idea that DAYTON wants the
judicial ermine in one of the dis
tricts in case he is defeated for the
house in the next election or fails of
the nomination in the convention
either of which are more than posi-
bilities, has also helped along the
side of the opponents to the bill. His
personality on the bench is making
many men go against the bill who
might otherwise be for it.
This objection is hardly fair one
as he cannot be beneficiary of the
act in case it carries There is
provision that no member Of Con
gress at the time any bill passes can
be a beneficiary under it. This
would prevent him from occupying
one of the benches in one of the new
districts Consequently those who
are urging this as an objection are
not fighting fair and are without
real grounds for objection.
Petitions from all over the district
are pouring into Washington pro-
testing against the passage of the
bill. One of these contained one
hundred and sixty names. Another
had several Morgantown lawyers on
it. They were Messrs. Jos More
land, G. B. Ollie, L. V. Keck and
John j. Brown.
The friends of the bill claim that
there is every reason in the world
for its passage and cite the fact that
there are at present 551 civil and l,
III criminal cases on the docket, be-
ing more than any other district in
the country by a large majority and
in fact as many as a number of 9th
er districts combined. Governor
Atkinson is now in Washington to
fight for the bill and will do all he
can to get it through. Its fate how
ever hangs in the balance

The Milk Can


At convention in Minnesota, j. X.
Bennett said, among other things: "In
the care Of cans, they are to be kept
clean and free from rust. They should
be washed as soon as possible. after
being used. Rinse first with: cold wa
ter, then scrub thoroughly with: a
brush both inside and outside. using
warm water almost hot, or better, a
good soap suds, use it often anyhow.
Give particular attention to the seams
and don't forget the outsides. You
know the inside is often judged by the
outside. Finish with scalding water
Turn your cans upside down long
enough to allow them to drain then
leave them right side up, or on their
sides In the fresh air, and you will
have clean, sweet cans. 1t is very
common error to leave them over a
stake, or on a board. This is q, serious
mistake, as invariably the cans Will
sour thereby. The hot air or. steam
rises and has no escape, consequently
condenses in the cans and sours. Much
milk otherwise well cared for Is often
tainted from no other reason. "A rusty
can should not be used, as it imparts
a foreign flavor to milk. ~. r.s." F. Y

On reaching home May found his per-
sonal business in a tangle, his lands
wound up in legal tangles in his old
place in California and his ships which
had set out. for trade in the Gulf of
Mexico wrecked: Then came legal
complications with the government and
the hard times of the last two years, so
that the captain has been detained from
returning to the place to get the gold.
But he has met men who verified the
statements of the veteran, men who
| fought in the Mexican war and had
| heard of the loss of the money. The
captain now expects to go to Mexico
within a few weeks and is confident of
coming back with the $15O,OOO in gold.
The captain will take with him an
outfit consisting of a diamond drill,
with which he will prospect all about
the vicinity Of the spot. He believes
that it will be but the work of few
days to strike the boxes, which were of
wood, but strapped with iron bands.

BOWLING ON THE GREEN.
An Ancient Ti:-;tlsll rastime Which Ha.
invaded A.. 4

An Ancient E~,tlsA l'agtime. Which Hah
Invaded A,H--.s-- - Z
Some of the big athletic clubs who's
athletic committees are always on the
lookout for new games have recently
taken Typ "bowling on the green"
very ancient British pastime. In it's
present form it halls from Canada,
where it has been played in quiet way
for some time. A set of balls for green
bowling consists of one round yellow
ball called the "jack," and eight bowls,
which are egg-shaped balls of lignum
vitae, perhaps six or eight inches long,
with a small plate of metal let in at
so that. the bowl can always be rolled
in a curve, which is in or out accord
ing to the position of the hand and
that of the larger strip of metal.
In the American game two or four
can bowl. One throws the jack away
on the turf, and all bowl at it.
When ball lies in the way,
the T.. bowler attempts the curve.
The player whose bowl is nearest the
jack when all have bowled, wins one
point, and it is then his privilege to
throw the jack as far as he likes in
any direction for new bowl In this
way the game can wander over an en-
tire gslf course and furnish lots of ex-
ercise.e If four players are in the game
they can choose sides or not, as they
like, The game is substantially like
the old English game of bowling, which
was declared unlawful under Henry
VIII. The law remained dead letter
for many years and was finally re-
pealed so lately as 1S45. In the Eng
lish game, the playing is restricted to
a green about sixty feet square, so
that the players wander back and forth,
and a skip or captain is named on each
side. ts&sS
