1t seems to us that at this particular time, when
so much causeless prejudice against the Jew is
pant in France that to furnish the antiSemites with
such genuine grievance as this would be the height
of folly, if not worse At best the standing of the
Jews in France to-day is precarious and perusal of

THE WAVE Of ant-Semitsm which swept
France last week not only still retains much of it's
original fury but to have gathered additional
force while in transit the French colonies in North
Africa In Algiers particularly there has been
extremely venomous display Of anti Semitism. The
continued attacks upon the Jews, who vigorously de-
Tended themselves, has resulted in the killing of sew
eral on each side, which fact seems only to add to
the rage Of the mob. It must be said, the credit
of the Algerian government, that it has used every
effort to quel the disorder down to calling out
the troops Several hundred of the rioters have been
arrested, and one who was caught in the act of
footing the shop of Jew sentenced to five years
imprisonment

TWO CENTS
THE LEGISLATURE.
The indications are that it has
been captured by the Demo-
Gratis.

What the reports show that the party
has done-Gains In the first aud sec
ond districts nearly enough to give II
to them Heavy gains are also re-
ported In the third while In the fourth
n number OF delegates and senator's
are landed-Hold overs the stumbling
block but IL Is thought that they are
more than made up. Several days
before definite returns will be In.
The next West Virginia legislature
is likely to be very close as between
the parties, but with the chances ia
voring the democrats having major
ity on Joint ballot. The senate will
probably have sixrepubliean majority.
The democrats have captured the
house of delegates in all probability,
as the ratio Of gains made as COM
pared with 1896 already shows enough
gains in the First and Second districts
to nearly overcome the republican
majority in the last house of delegates.
In Marion the democrats gain two
members, in Berkeley two, In Miner
al uHSJ III lIdilISGD one dlu III Tile
Tyler Wetzel district one, with gains
probable in one or two other counties.
In Kanawha county the democrats
have probably gained one or two
members, but both parties still claim
the county; in Cabell two, and other
counties, will be sufficient TO give
them very comfortable majority,
though IL will not be possible for sew
eral days to state the exact majority.
The state senate is composed Of 26
members, 10 Of whom are holdoyers.
OF the holdovers the republicans have
II and the democrats 2. Or the 13
new senators elected yesterday the
democrats have apparently elected
eight, the republicans three and two
are doubtful, though these estimates
are subject to change. From returns
now in the democrats have probably
won in the second, fourth, sixth, sew
enth, eight ninth, twelfth and thir-
teenth districts, while the republicans
have won in the first, third and elev-
enth. The fifth, and tenth districts
are doubtful.

THE BODY FOUND.

o. w. Dis was found in the fourth
p0ol-He had been drowned as ex-
pected-No details Of the finding at
hand.
The body of G. w. Dills who a
few days ago was lost from the Flor
ence Belle has been recovered. 1t
was found on Thursday morning
somewhere on the shore in the fourth
pool. The details of the finding
have not been heard by Mr.. McFeely
his partner and nothing at all has
been learned by him but the fact that
the body was found.
Dis was supposed to have been
drowned from the boat and this is
the first that has been heard in re
gard to him since he disappeared. 1t
is not yet known and may never be
known whether or not he committed
suicide. 1t is probable that he fell
from the boat while under the intiu-
ence of liquor as he had been drink
ing for several days before he left
here.
The body was taken to Finleyville
for interment. The news of the find
ing of the drowned man was brought
here by the boat crew but they did
not tell any thing else about it as far
as could be learned. Further infor
nation will likely be received in day
or so from the family.

A DESERVED TRIBUTE.

The state school Journal says some
very nice things about Prof. yickers.
Regret that he was moi kept in the
state.
Though the educational system of
West Virginia has been in successful
operation scarcely third OF CEN
tury, during the last few years the
State has furnished some Of the older
states with college presidents and pro-
fessors who have easily taken their
places as leaders. Notable among
these are President d. B. Purinton.
of Denison University, Ohio. Profess
sor George B. Foster, Of Chicago Uni
yersity, and Professor It. v. N. Paint
er, Of Roanoke College, Virginia.
Many Others might be named, but
these will suffice to show the truth OF
the statement.
The state has again been honored
in similar way In the selection OF
Mr.. E. III. Vickers OF Shepherdstown
as Professor of Political Economy In
Keiogijuhu University, Tokyo, Japan
at salary Of about three Thousand
dollars year.
Mr. Vickers was graduated from
the West Virginia University In 1890
and was then for two years instruct
or in the preparatory department Of
that institution. In 1892 he entered
Harvard University and spent three
years in graduate work, taking the
degree of A. B. in 1893, and A. M. in
1894. In 1895 he was awarded five
hundred dollar fellowship by Harvard
University with the privilege of study
ing abroad, and accordingly spent
three years at German and French
universities.
Mr.. Vickers stands easily above all
Others in the State in the subject of
economics and his many friends hoped
that some institution in the State
might secure his services but as the
powers that be did not see fit TO do
this, we rejoice with him in his new
appointment which came to him, alb
solutely unsought, from President FL
lot, OF Harvard University, who was
asked by the University OF Keiogijuhu
to select the best man to be had
After long acquaintance and init
mate association with Mr.. Vickers,
we feel that in the new work which
he has undertaken he will show him
self, as in the past, trained scholar,
an enthusiastic teacher, and dis
Greet, broad minded man. We can
wish for him nothing more than the
success which has always attended
him. Ia

A very large meteor, ball of fire or
something that emitted great light
passed through the air over New
berne Wednesday night shortly at
ter dark. Itmade a Sizing, kissing
noise that could be heard a great
distance, and was seen by several
people, in fact by everyone who hap
pened to be in the open air at that
time. 1t was going in ar easterly
direction, and was very low, barely
going over the top of the hills. 1t
was also seen in the Horn creek
country, and must have struck the
ground not far from there. We are
anxious to learn where itstruck, and
if any of our readers know, they
will please inform us, and send US a
description of it -Glenville Imprint.

Ashby and Stephenson, the Demo
cratic candidates for the State SEN
ate in this district, will be elected,
Mr.. Ashby having a majority of
about 800, and Mr. Stephenson hav-
ing no opposition.
Democratic candidates for the
State senate have also been elected
in the End, 4th, 9th, 7th. Sth, 10th
18th and 18th senatorial districts.
The Democratic State committee
claims the election of SO out OF the
II members of the lower house of
the legislature, which gives the dem
ocrats a majority of five IN that
house. Those whom the Democratic
committee claim to be elected are
one in Barbour county, one in
Berkeley, one in Boone, two in Cab
ell, one in Calhoun, two in Green
brier, one in Gilmer, one in Hamp-
shire, one in Jefferson, one in Lin
coin, two in Marion, one in Mercer,
one in Monroe, one in Nicholas, one
in Pendleton, one in Peasants, one
in Pocahontas, one in Summers, two
in Wayne, one in Wetzel, one in
Writ, one in Hardy and Grant, one
in Lewis and Webster, and one in
Tyler, two in Braxton and Clay, two
in Randolph and Tucker, two in
Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan, and
one in Logan and Mingo.
The nine democratic members of
the senate elected with the two hold
overs will give the democrats vo-
ting strength of eleven in the upper
house, not considering the change to
be made by the members elected from
the 9th and 18th districts to Gil the
short term vacancies. This will give
the democrats a majority Of one on
joint ballot.
There is a probability that the
Democrats will also have one mem
Der in the House of Delegates from
Kanawha and one from Fayette,
making forty democratic members
in the lower house and democratic
majority of five on Joint ballot.

WHEELING, w, Va, Nov. IL
The Register this morning has the
following:
Wednesday night the Register re-
ceived the following by wire:
To the Editor of the Register.
GRAFTON, w. Va, November g.
No official returns have been received
from the South Branch counties. The
splendid returns from the counties
west of the mountains, with that
given by Berkeley county, were de-
stroyed by the heavy increased ma
jorities given Dayton along the line of
the Davis railroad, which fact neces-
sitates the official count from the
South Branch counties to determine
the result of the election
JOHN I. M'GRAw.
Yesterday Hon. John r. McGraw
telephoned from Grafton stating that
this was not sent by him nor with
his knowledge or consent and was not
in accordance with his views on the
subject.
This is prima facia evidence of
crooked work. This forged dispatch
was evidently sent to the Register to
mislead Democrats and throw them
off their guard throughout the Second
district while the schemers, wire pull
ers and tricksters working for Mr..
Dayton could get in some of their ia
miliar crooked work on the returns on
the official count.
1t is an old trick and this time it
has been played boldly.
The Register has tried to trace the
dispatch to its source, but with no
other success than to bring forth the
statement of the operator at Grafton
that the message was not in Mr.. Nc
GraW's handwriting, the operator pre-
Stunning that it had been filed at Mr..
McGraw's request by one of his friends
As stated, the Republican trick
sters evidently are at their old work
and this bold forgery was meant to
throw Democrats off their guard by
creating the impression that Mr.. Nc
Graw, himself, had practically given
up hope of his election on the face Of
the returns.
Mr.. McGraw has not given up, but,
on the contrary, confidently claims
his election by small majority.
1t behooves Democratic election
officials to be on their guard through
out the district against post-election
frauds not only against Mr.. McGraw,
but against the Democratic legisla-
tive candidates.

To the Mayor and Common Council
of the town of Morgantown, W. Va.
GENTLEMEN:
Notice is hereby given you
that the undersigned contractors
who have a contract for paving GER
tain streets in said town have com
piled with their contract under the
supervision of the proper authori-
ties of said town, and that you have
failed to pay to the undersigned the
amount of money due us, and you
have wrongfully retarded the pro
gress of the work 80 contracted by
us. And you are further notified
that we are ready and anxious, and
always have been, to complete the
residue of our contract, and that
your failure to carry out your part
Of the agreement has greatly dam
aged us, and that we will hold you
liable for the money not only due us,
but also for any and all damages
sustained by us by reason Of your
failure to carry out your part of said
contract.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM j BERRY and
W. A. KIDDER by
Cox and Baker,
Counsel
Everyone who is at all familiar
with the way things were done here
this summer ana fall by the firm
cannot but be amused by the cool
way in which they make their claim.
They have the audacity to say that
the council has delayed them.
How they can reconcile this with
the fact that every time any kicking
was done in regard to the delay that
it was done by the council and not
by themselves. Every fact in con-
nection with the affair fails to sus-
tain them and the whole town will
laugh at the contention which they
have raised.
Another statement that they are
ready and anxious to finish the rest
of their contract is equally amusing
as they have never shown the least
indication of that intention.
The claim that they have per-
formed their work according to the
specifications is directly opposed to
the report of the consulting engineer.
During the time that work was 60
ing on the contractor was told time
without number that he was not do
ing the work right and that he
knew that he was not.
The town will file counter suit
and they will also ask for damages
on account of the delay and loss
caused to the citizens of the town by
the way in which the work was de-
layed.
Council intended to meet on
Thursday night as the report which
they had expected had not arrived
but it is confidently expected to
come in to-day and the meeting will
be held to night when steps will be
taken looking toward the compile
ton of the abandoned work

eastern capital that actual business done

and actual receipts of wheat amounting
to 5,S76,716 bushels for the week, a.

have produced demand for rails, cars,
