Spring Medicine
The Necessity and the Remedy
4 Safeguard Of Health, Saver OF
Time and Money.

limo QUu MONEY
Health and success may depend upon
--1ur taking a good Spring Medicine
now. Just at the time when the system
needs unusual supplies of energy and vi
tally to adjust itself to the conditions Of
this trying season, it is weakened and
debilitated, because poorly nourished by
impure and impoverished blood. Help is
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla because this
great medicine has power to purify, en-
rich and vitalize tn, blood. 1t promptly
expels all spring humors, manifested in
boils, pimples, sores and eruptions, tones
up the stomach and liver, regulates and
sustains the kidneys, cures that tired
feeling, and by creating an appetite and
giving digestive power, it imparts strength
and vigor to the whole body.

Promises to How to The Line.
Atlanta, Ga. September 15.-1ha Con
stitution tonight received me following
special dispatch from its New York
correspondent:
Captain Evan T.. Howell. who is at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. will call on
President Mckinley Saturday III responsa
to Il telegram in reference to dis sug-
gested appointment as It member of the
commission to investigate the War De
partment.
Captain Howell said:
eff the commission is to have an
restricted W in the Investigation. and
| am assured that its scope Is to be I'M
limited, l will accept appointment on the
commission, and if | serve it will be
with the understanding that I will hew
to the line, let the chips fall where they
may.
1.-The country demands that if there
has been any official negIec- of duty
in any Of the branches of the War De-
partment, the blame SHOULD be fixed
50 that those who are responsible may
lie held accountable, and the innocent
not suffer from the maladministration
of those guilty of any i~nconipetcncy.
If | serve on the commissions it will
be solely for the purpose OF going
to the bottom of the whole situation.
| am satisfied that nothing is further
from the mind of the President than
the encouragement of a white wash re-
port. believe he wants the facts known,
and. as far as l am concerned, they
will be ascertaincd if | serve. | am
fully prepared to do justice to every
official.
Concerning the statement that i was
beyond the authority of the commission
to compel the attendance Of persons
or TO require papers which may be 70
fused. Captain Howell said:
That of course. amounts to nothing,
If Il commission Of this character should
request the attendance of any human
being connected with the department. OF
the presentation Of any paper ana 1t
was met with refusal, it wOuil simply
be an admission of guilt which no officer
would dare to make"

A DEED OF TRUST.
Mrs. l. ]. Peabody makes it to
To Frank Cox on Saturday.

The Reason for the Moye-The Proper
ty is ample to Pay all Claims and
Leave good Surplus besides-Busi-
ness will be Continued as heretofore.
Who the Various Creditors are and
the Amounts of their Claims Smaller
Creditors all are now Secured.
Mrs L. j. Peabody on Saturday
evening made deed of trust convey
ing to Frank Cox as trustee all the
property which she has in Morgan
town consisting of the hotel property
which she is now running and the
furniture in it. The move was TAX
en- to prevent multiplicity of suits
and to secure a number of smaller
creditors who were. heretofore not
secured.
The principal creditors are j. X.
DUR. of Pittsburg, for ten thousand
dollars; Huston d Domain, of Nor.
gantown, $1,000; S. D. Hirschman
5000, and Kraus d Co., of Wheeling.
1925. Other smaller bills run the
liabilities up tY$l5,900. q
The assets are heavy and are
much more than enough to make up
the liabilities. They consist of the
hotel and furniture. Conservative
estimates place the value of the ho-
tel at $4,000 and the furniture at
$4,000. They are both worth more
money but will bring that much at
forced sale.
The business will continue at the
old stand and in the same way. The
move was simply taken to secure
the smaller creditors and to prevent
the piling up of costs on account of
the suits for the debts which were
threatened The business is ample
to pay off everything and it will do
it if it is left alone and that ar
rangement has been made satisfaeto-
ry to all concerned.
We are sorry that the hotel has
become involved and hope that it
will not prove permanent and the
hopes of those who have the matter
in charge will be realized. The ho-
tel is one of the best in the town
and has helped great deal in Civ
ing Morgantown the splendid repu-
tation it has for first class hotels.

The address OF Mrs. Jerome II. Ray
mond at Willard Hall last Tuesday
evening On "Social Settlements was
one of the finest ever given in the
town. Mrs Raymond. while noting a
number of the most prominent $50
cial Settlements" in Chicago, and
giving distinguishing characteristics
of each, dwelt particularly on "Hull
House" and Jane Adams, its moving
spirit.
Social settlement work is compare
lively a new philanthropy, but emf
nently practical, and all who are in
terested in efforts for the uplifting of
humanity would have greatly enjoyed
Mrs. Raymond's address. 1t is a mat
ter of regret that her audience was so
small.
Mrs. Raymond is most pleasing
speaker, easy and graceful, her diction
choice and her manner charming We
feel sure that should she ever visit
Fairmont again to address our people
she will have large audience.
Mrs. Raymond was the guest, while
here, of Mrs. T. G. Miller.

A Few FairmOnt Notes from the West
Virginian.

Dwight Miller, OF the Second reg
iment, who has, been i'll of fever in a
hospital at Charleston, will be able to
stand the trip to his home in this
place in day or so.
G. w. Swisher received a message
this morning informing him that an
other oil well had just come in On his
lease at Cairo far better than any
others there in which he has an in
terest Congratulations, Corporal.
Some one unknown did thing last
Friday night that will give him free
trip to Moundsville if the law gets
its hands Gil him. For his individual
amusement he threw stick of dyna-
mite at the abutment of the bridge
across Buffalo creek near the mouth
of Salt Lick run, and the result was
the masonry was blown from it's
foundation, rendering the bridge use
less.

Is VERY CAREFUL
The Martinsburg Herald tells how
jealousy the director of the station
Looks ont for farmers interests.

Director Stewart, of the experiment
Station at Morgantown, is taking
more care TO carry out the provisions
of the fertilizer law to the letter than
ever before. a special agent OF the
station has just started out to make
a tour wherever fertilizer is sold
From every lot samples will be taken
and they will be analysed by the Sta
tion Chemist and If not found mp to
the standard their sale will be pro-
hibited. The sale OF fertilizer to West
Virginia farmers amounts to about
40, 600 tons per annum and costs
about $780, 900. In addition to this it
is estimated that $780, 900 is sold
from the manufacturers direct to the
farmer and does not come under the
jurisdiction of the station. 1t will
thus be seen what an important item
this is and how necessary that every
precautfon be taken.

FROM ONE FARM.
400 bushels of Wheat is Harvested in
this County.

The story of the great wheat yield
as told by Joel Bowlby has started
the other wheat raisers of the county
and they are beginning to bring in
the recitals of what they have done
this season. The farm that is run
by j. w. Holland and James M.
Jamison being the old Evans farm
takes the cake for the largest az
gregate yield From this was har-
vested 400 bushels of the golden
grain. AS this county is not con-
sidered a great wheat county this
sized yield is thought to be an enor-
nous one. The wheat was of very
fine quality in addition to the size
of the crop and the yield to the acre
was also large
