THROWN OUT.
The Town Of Morgantown vs.. Boughner
Dismissed at the Cost Of the
Plaintiff.

Judge Mason has thrown the case
of town of Morgantown VS.. Bough-
ner out of court and put the costs of
the suit on the plaintiff. He held
that the evidence did not show that
the present condition of affairs war
ranted the claims set up by the
town. The matter in controversy
was the opening OF Main street
north and the condemnation of the
property of the Boughners which
was required to widen the street.
The case has been before the court
since last winter and when it was
first submitted aroused considerable
feeling.
When the case was called great
deal of diificultyewas encountered in
finding anybody to appear for the
town. Every lawyer who was con
nected with the town as corporation
counsel declared that he had no
right in the case. The costs are
large running over the hundred dol
lar mark. All this must come of
the town and its object has been de.
feated
1t may be proper to state here that
the result was brought about BY the
able and adroit management of Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss who was Miss
BoIghner's counsel.

The fight in Ohio over the senator
ship is attracting attention all over
the country. 1t has been settled
that Mark Hanna is beaten for re-
election He has made desperate
fight and has not yet abandoned
hope but he feels that he is bea en-
and his statements about the matter
are very thinly yelled bluffs.
TO defeat such man has been d
herculean task. He was endorsed
by the state convention and the
fight was made with the understand
ing that in case the Republicans
carried that state that Hanna was
to be elected Senator. The campaign
was fought with that understanding
and it proved to be virtual defeat
for him as he ran far behind the
state ticket and in the whole state
there was majority against him al
though there were enough Republi-
can members of the legislature to
have elected Mark if they had stuck
to him. But there are deserters.
This contingent is large enough to
beat him by combining with the
Democrats.
The combine has been formed and
both houses of the Legislature have
been organized by the fusionists.
That they will elect a Senator seems
certain and that he will not be Han
ma is equally certain.
This turn down means more than
merely defeat of an obnoxious boss.
1t means the defeat of Mckinley for
second nomination He and Han
ma stand together in Ohio, The de-
feat of one means the same dose for
the other. The forces which have
undone Hanna will do the same trick
for Mckinley.
With Mckinley out of the way
the road to the Presidency is open
to Reed, OF Maine, and he will be
found taking it with but little oppo-
sition when the next Republican
National convention is held And
that is what the result of the Ohio
fight means, The overthrow of Nc
Kinley and the elevation of Reed.
Incidentally it also means that Ohio
will be Democratic until the sores
engendered in the operation can
heal. And that will take years. The
Democrats are to be congratulated
on the outlook.

Robinson Released.

William Robinson who was re
Gently arrested charged with selling
whisky without a license has been
released on bond given by his broth
er Samuel Robinson. The prisoner
was bound over to meet the action
tf the grand jury and in addition he
may have to answer to the United
States authorities as he did not have
a governm INT license However the
arrest is said not to be warranted us
he was merely acting as the agcnl
of some fellows here who asked hiin
to get them the liquor when he vent
home and did not give him the mon
ey. He got the required amount and
they gave him the money for it, gi'
ing him the same amount as it cost
him and there is nothing to show
that he tried to make anything cat
of the transaction or that he was an
intentional law breaker Technical
ly he is guilty but morally he is in
nocent. The outcome of the trial
will be awaited with interest.

The seventy thousand New Eng
land cotton operatives who have had
their wages reduced will probably
accept the reduction and not at
tempt strike. The Fall River
spinners have voted to do so, and
others will most likely follow their
example. These are not the only
class of working people in that Sec
ton to whom such holiday gift
was made. The employees in agreat
shoe factory at North Brookfield,
Mass, have just been informed that
after Saturday last their pay would
be cut down, and the operatives in
similar establishment is elsewhere
fear that the example thus set will
be generally followed. The only
reason assigned by the manufactur-
ers is that they are losing money
and cannot continue in business I'M
less they reduce the wage account
The Dingley tariff put a tax on
hides, the raw material of the shoe
factories, and the only way to meet
this is to reduce wages. The duty
was imposed against the earnest
protests of shoe manufacturers, who
insisted that it would seriously in
jurc their business Six months
have not passed since the law went
into operation, and already reduc-
ton of wages is found to be inevita-
ble.-Pittsburg Post.

THE EXPERIMENT STATION.
As Viewed By the sellsburg Herald.


Our agricultural experiment station
is located at Morgantown, and is a
department of the West Virginia
University. The department is
equipped with excellent instructors,
which bulletins that come from that
school show. The time when we
could waste our heritage by carelessly
denuding our hills Of their forest
growth and robbing the plains by
continuous cropping with grain, and
other reckless methods OF farming,
has past. The decreased productive
ness of our own soil and the competi-

necessary to call in the help of science,
and the aid of careful investigators

This fund cannot be reduced with

1t is kept invested, as far as it can

the interest derived from the

public schools. This fund yields
in interest from $4,000 to $45, 900
yearly. The amount raised for the
support of the schools by taxation on
a levy of ten cents on the 800

amount, so that the amount of mon

Moreland for the purpose OF selling
has been sold to DR. l. G. White and
Duke Hirschman IS, 700. The effort
was made at first to sell the farm di-
vided into parcels but this brought
a very small sum. The farm was
then put up as whole and the bid
ding resulted in it being knocked
down to DIR. l. G. White and S. ID

The price is very much less than
that paid for the farm sixteen years.
Then Mr.. Hackney paid ON an aver
age nearly forty dollars an acre for
it. 1t brings to day much less after
the town has grown to five times the
size it was when the farm passed

pleted. There is nothing of especial
interest ON 1T and few cases that will
attract any attention to speak OF.
The number of criminal cases which
are on it is lat. Fifteen of these
are fer felonies but few Of them will
result in sending the accused to the
pen. Many of the cases have been
hanging for years and in some Of
them the accused parties are dead.
In others the cases are kept alive
merely to keep the parties in ques-
