AFFAIRS OF JERNEoAN's COMPANY
Committee Have Decided to Wind Up
Organization.

Boston, November l0.-The affairs OF
the EIectrolytic Marine Salts company,
whose manager, +. 8. Jernegan. disap-
peared some months ago, are still un.
settled and the report of the committee
consisting of Joseph o. Burdett. A. W..
johnson, E. S. Davis, ii. r. Perkins and
4. D. Kilgore, have reported adversely
to the appointing of receiver to SETTLE
the affairs of the company. faF sg
The committee has examined the af-
fairs, books and statements of the COM
pany, have conferred with stockholders
and attorneys and have endeavored to
harmonic opposing interests as far as
possible. The so-called Jernegan process
of extracting gold from sea water has
been tested. The first test made showed
no commercial value, though it did deter
m inc the fact that there is gold in sea
water. The officers of the company be.
lieved that better results may be obtained
and asked an extension Of time to per.
form another series of experiments.
The second experiment was not datter-
ing, although better than the frst The
committee do not feel warranted in ad
vising that any further delay should be
made for experiments without some
action being taken by the stockholders
looking to the settlement OF the COM
pany's affairs.
court in Suffolk county and the Supreme
Judicial court at Portland, Me- for re-
ceiver for the company. AS the expense
of winding up the company through re-
ceivership would be necessarily large, the
committee cannot see that the stockhold-
ers would receive any benefit from such
an appointment and feel that some other
course should be taken.
With view of saving any possible
value there may be in the sea water gold
process owned by the company, OF MAX
ing further expert examination of the
processes and to protect all stock holders
the committee recommend the appoint.
Hon. Winslow Warren, Hon. z. p.
Dodge Hon. Arthur Lyman, James S,
Russell and Joseph 0. Burdett, chairman
of the present com uittee. WT
The committee recommend that The
stockholders deposit their stock certih
oates with the State Street Trust company
for which transferable receipts will be
given in return.
1t is understood that at the present
time the company has cash assets of $313, :
000 divided as follows: $4,000, money
refunded by Sawyer s. Usher; $50 900,
Jernegan money in Shawmut bank and
securities recovered from Jernegan now
under attachment at the Parker House; !;
and sl05, 600 company cash in the bank.
This would be sufficient to pay more than
30 cents on the outstanding stock. The
company's debts amount to 900, but
there are assets composed of 5000 bullion.
5000 worth of platinum wire and the
company's plant and real estate at North
Lubec, sufficient to cover the debts
There is evidence that Mr.. Jernegan
may decide to return to this country in
which case stockholders may receive more
than 80 cents in case it is finally decided
to wind up the affairs of the company.
Officials feel confident that through a
combination of different processes which
greatly reduce the cost of securing gold
from sea water,.s they can profitably ex.
tract gold.

BRAVE PUG.
Parkersburg Dog Defends Its Mistress
Against the Caress OF her Sweetheart.

A young man we'll known in Park

experience the other night that was
as thrilling as it was unlocked for

one of his friends in the neighborhood
of east Fifth street. He did not
notice the pug dog that was sleeping
in corner. During his call he ap-
preached his fair hostess for the pur-
pose of claiming kiss he won on an
election bet. "A friendly tussel fol-
l0wed-it becomes a modest maid to
at least make show of resistance.
Still he did not know the dog was
there. A moment later he did. Sud-
denly he was made painfully aware OF
the presence of the enemy In the shape

The commotion reached fever heat.
Both the young lady and young man
were screaming, and the dog was bark

when the head of the family appeared
on the scene the predicament OF the

Messrs. Conway & Hibbs Doing Big
Business.

The new grocers Conway & Hibbs
on Morelana's corner are rapidly
gaining big trade. They are care
full and square in their dealings and
always give customers more than
the worth of their money. They
have candies of excellent quality

Point Marion bread, the canned
goods they offered at 81 cents are
going rapidly and customers come
back for a second and larger lot,
they have green vegetables, -four,

thing else that housekeeper needs.

will lose money. They opened here

and they are evidently doing it.

A Laugh Producer.

The Roger Brothers, who appeared
last evening at the Grand Opera
House in an acrobatic farce, were GER
tainly successful in keeping the audi
ence in one continuous state of good
humor. The trick scenery, the ex-
tremely clever acrobats and several
good musical specialties were enter
tanning, and the large house that
witnessed the production were very
well pleased with the performance.
"Next Door" compares very favorably
with Eight Bells and is better than

A spirited contest in the Public Schools

Miss Waddell's room in the public
school was the scene of very spirited
contest yesterday. Twenty three Of
the little people contested for the
dollar their teacher had offered for the
best declaimer.. Those who entered
the contest were: girls, Edna Kidd,
Buna Capeheart,, Nettie McBee, Ethel
Jolliffe, Lucy Pool, Irma Meyers, Ada
Kiger, Jessie Meyers, May Baumgard-
ner, Mabel Keener, Alice Aldrich, and
Mary Chadwick, and boys, Huff Deane
Fred Hiser, Jessie Hall, Ray Baum
gardner, Willie Stephan, Bert Mont
gomery, Stanley Cox, Shirley Taylor,
Samuel Randall, John Hess, and
Paul Vance.
The judges Prof. Harvey Brand,
Miss Matte Brock and Miss Lucy
Wood, awarded the prize to Mary
Chadwick whose selection was s'Papa's
Letter. Jessie Hall was declared
second best.
His selection was ssThe Voice of
the Night Wind" The entire class
did well and displayed the deepest In
teresb throughout. There were a
number who deserved special mention
but for the sake of the few who did
not cover themselves with credit it
has been thought best to not give
these names, especially since some of
these few are the very best OF pupils.
1t was the regret of the judges and
the teacher that reward could not be
given each one.

GOVERNOR DEVINE.
Writes to His Friend of the
New Dominion.

An Old Time Popular Student Who is
now Governor of u Rapidly Grow
ing Western State-He Sends Re-
CARDS to the Friends of His Early
Days in MorgantOwn.
About 90 years ago there was
Wheeling boy in the University who
gave promise of making his mark in
the world. He was jolly, yet indus
trious and stood well as a student.
He was quite athletic also and fine
ball player He was genial and
made many acquaintance and was
deseryedly popular Soon after
graduating he went to North Dako-
ia. In few years he was elected
Superintendent of Schools for that
state and has steadily risen until
he now occupies the Governors
chair. He still has many warm
friends in Morgantown among them
being the owner of the New DoMIN-
ION Yesterday we received pri-
yate letter from him and take the
liberty to quote part of it for the
benefit of his old friends many of
whom will be pleased to see it, From
this we can infer that he has still
higher ambition and we will watch
his career with interest. Following
are the extracts to which we refer:
Il have pot forgotten the old days;
glad old days back there on the
banks OF the Monongahela and it
would be the greatest possible re-
greet TO me If in any way or for any
thing you would think the boy you
used to know back there had changed
in the slightest. Then you knew me
as very glad, free student at the
old '.Uo and living the life of the ev-
eryday student; standing on the
corner at McGrew's; watching for
my mail at the postoffice, when Mr..
Dering Landed it out; buying cigar

place, incident or individual and
certainly have not forgotten you.

they have not forgotten me-
1--WE are busy preparing the Mes
sage far the forthcoming session 1
shall bring it up to the needs of the
present day, and discuss state ques-
tions from the standpoint of the
latest and best ideas of nineteenth
century craftsmanship. | am going
to send you a copy when it is printed
and in that you will catch the trend
of my thought and my hopes, SO far
as public affairs are concerned, and,
as you read between the lines,
hope you will be able to see that
that wild, happy, happy, and yet
honest, earnest student, has not
changed in nature, only sees little
farther and feels little deeper and
has hopes that are little higher
than when with you at old Morgan
town in years gone by.
Yours truly,
