A SUGGESTION.
Morgantown Ought to Remem-
bur Her Soldier Boys in
Camp.

People here should Send them Some
Token Of the Remembrance in which
They are Held Both Regiments ought
to be Treated in this Way-0ther
Towns have taken Hold OF It-A
Committee will be Appointed In a day
or so-Suggestions Invited.
Many of the places in the state
are advocating a move to send
number of reminders to the soldier
boys that they have not been for
gotten although they are far from
home and those who care for them.
The plan has been very popular
and every town that amounts to
anything in the state will take it.
1t has been proposed to do some
thing of the kind here.
There are a number Of boys in
each of the regiments from this state
and they have many friends in Nor
gantown and the county. 1t is pro
posea-that we take some steps to do
something for them.
Exactly what form this is to take
has not been decided upon. 1t may
be in shape of material for a big
dinner on Christmas day or it may
be gifts to the one in which each
person is sending is interested.
The plan has been else where for
the municipal authorities to take the
lead in the matter and that will likely
be done here. A committee will be
appointed in day or so to collect the
subscriptions to send the boys re-
hinder of the cheer which prevails
here at this festive season Of the year.
Some of the ladies may be interested
In the plan. 1t is asked that they
make suggestions as to what shall be
done. These can be made TO this pa
per orally or by sending in little
statement written out of what should
be done.
Probably a dinner will be sent to
the boys and besides this any gifts
that any one may wish to send to in
dividuals will be included. A box
will be made up for each regiment
md this will be sent of as soon as
possible There is but a short time
remaining and every one should get
move on in the matter OF it will be
too late Let the remembrance be
substantial one.

was in town on Thursday and had a
talk with a representative oil TINS
paper. He is the right of way agent
for the Cheat River road which we
all hope will soon be built up the
bank of the raging Cheat.
He represented himself as very
well satisfied with the progress that
he has made and stated that he had
the right of way bought as far up
as the Big Sandy with a few excep
tions. There are many diillculties
to be surmounted in getting this and
one of the greatest ones is that a
railroad company is expected to
stand and deliver whatever the
whims of the rural population may
care to do.
Many people have asked more for

BADLY SCORCHED.
Fairmont Normal takes Fire
from Heater and gives the :
Management a Scare.

Bucket Brigade and Fire Company soon
Subdue lt-IIow the Fire started.
Discovered by Prof. Barnes Small
Damage done-Iibrary damaged by
Water-Fire had Smouldered for an
Hour or two before 1t had Broken
Out-Contlued to the Auditorium.
The Fairmont Normal School was
badly scorehed Thursday afternoon.
The fire caught from the heater and
burned for several hours under the
floor OF the auditorium before it
broke out.
The morning had been very cold
and the heater had been turned on
full As the day wore on the regis
tiers in the various rooms were
closed and the one directly over the
heater under the floor Of the audi
forum became very hot.
This finally got so warm that it
set the floor on fire. The fire was
discovered by Prof. Barnes who had
smelled it for sometime and had
been hunting it without success
When he saw it, it had broken out
and was blazing as high as mans
head. The bucket brigade was called
on and an alarm given.
The fire department soon had the
fire under control aad the damage
resulting amounted TO between two
and three thousand dollars fully in
sured. The library was badly dam
aged Ny the water. The fire was
confined to The auditorium.
Had the blaze broken out an hour
and half later the building would
most likely have been completely
destroyed as everyone would have
been out of it.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by

HE IS PROMOTED.
Lieutenant Lockwood is now a
captain on the recommen-
dation of the president

He has been with his regiment since
the out break of the war-Col. Fast
has had his place at the University
and will retain ii until Lockwood is
sent back-War is over and he may
soon be expected here The record
made by students from colleges like
ours--Proud facts about the college
boys.
The many friends of Lieutenant
John A. Lockwood who has been
commandant of cadets here and he
viii be sent here again soon viii be
glad to learn that he has been pro
noted. He is now a captain in the
cavalry branch of the service.
The President some days ago sent
in the reeommendation for the pro
motion to the senate and it will
without doubt concur. Lieutenant
Lockwood has been with his regi-
ment since the war broke out and
bas been detached from the Univer-
sity detail.
Col. R. f. Fast has had the detail
and will continue to serve until
Lock wood is sent back or some 9th
er arrangement is made Tor the post
Col. Fast makes very good com
mandant and the cadets are yeIy
glad to have him as their superior.
1t is not known when the detail
will be made Of an army officer here
but as the war is now over it is not
thought that it will be long until it
is done. There is no longer any rea-
son to keep the officer in the field
and away from his duties.
In this connection it might be well
to state that the experiment OF tax
ing the best graduates of schools
like the University into the regular
army was great success and the
plan will likely be made perma-
nent feature of army administration.
Each year the best men will be
picked from the various schools and
they will be given commissions in
the regular army. Among the best
of the young officers were those talk
en- in this way.
The statistics in regard to the
college boy in the war make very
interesting reading and shows that
he makes the best soldier because
the most intelligent one There
were several thousand college men
in the various branches of the army
and they all without exception made
brilliant records

GOOD ICE HARVEST.
Local Icemen have the best fee they
have Seen for Years--Are cutting
II now

The cold spell has had one good
effect in the sight Of the local ice
men and that is to make the best
ice that they have had chance to
cut for many a year. The ice on
the dam above the mill is six inches
thick and of excellent quality. The
snow on top Of it has prevented
skating on it and this has kept the
ice from being all cut up by the
festive skaters.
All those who have houses on the
creek began to put up the ice sever
al days ago and they will fill their
houses as they do not expect to see
better ice this winter than they have
chance to get now. Graham will
put up 800 tons, Cobun and Selby
will put up $50 and John Hunt $50.
Bert Lazier will store away 100 later
in the season il the ice is good.

FOUR OF THEM.
Harvey Harmer in pretty fix.
Frank Stout gets him four for ten
dollars-Harvey afraid to act and
afraid not follow the kettle of fish
was fixed up-Feur pretty girls wait
ing for him.

WAS HXeu up-FGHT pretty girls Wait-
ing for him.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Dec. IA.
Harvey Harmer's bosom fills with
proud emotion, as he thinks Of the
future. His heart beats with ecstatic
rapidIty. His countenance beams
with smile not born of law books
alone. His slumbers are one contin-
uous dream. The slough of despond
which possessed his bones has shaken
itself away. He is the subject of
fcad congratulations, not, however,
that he has been again elected to Of
fee by kissing all the babies in the
county. He is really to be married,
not only once but thrice.
1t all came about this week and in
rather novel way. Harvey and his
affable contemporary, Frank Stout,
were at the breakfast table, munching
away on buck-wheat cakes and sip
ping coffee out OF saucers, as we all
do, who come from the country
Harvey heaved long drawn out sigh
and he looked troubled. He desired
to be comforted and found Frank
sympathetically willing. In his gloom
and distress Harvey sighed for wife,
Frank proposed to get him one or
three or four or more il he wanted so
many. Harvey was struck with the
idea and told Frank he would give
him $40 for such a service, and the
deal was closed
Frank shuffled himself away to find
helpmate for Harvey. He succeeded
in a surprisingly short while and had
four charming young ladies to sign a
marriage contract to marry Harvey at
first sight.
Now, Harvey astonishes every one
by refusing to sign this joint contract
too True, he is not a believer in the
teachings of the Koran, but how fool
ish to let these splendid opportunities
pass. Some of us would break our
necks at the chance. But Harvey
battles off the piercing darts of cupid
and considers only the cold legal as
poets of the case. He is afraid to sign
the contract, lest they all claim him
for their husband, or sue him for
breach Of promise, If he should fail to
comply with its provisions. His face
once so bright and free from care,
wears again that old troubled look
and he is no nearer benedict than
before. He needs sympathy.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.


What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on Them
and use only the better one.

MUSGRAVE RELEASED.
Comes out ofjail after four years
incarceration.

He looks over town all m0rning-Sees
many changes In the place-Calls on
the little son Of the sheriff-Takes
the noon train for 0pekiska--A fami-
ly council will be held there--He
may not return home-End ola ia
nous case.
David Musgrave is free man.
However while delighted at the
joys which freedom has brought he is
at sea over his future movements and
habitation. He spent the morning
looking over town and seeing the
many changes that come over the town
since he had last looked on it.
He first came out of the jail and
asked for Ben the little son of Sher-
i'll Garrison who has been sick for
several days and unable to be about
the prisoners with whom he is gen.
eral fayorite.
That duty when done he left after
thanking the family of the sheriff for
the many kindnesses that they had
shown him during the four years of
his Imprisonment. He had been in
the Jail for four years lacking nine
days.
He took the noon train for Opekis-
ka and family council will be held
there relative to his future movements
He is fearful Of returning to his old
home where the feeling against him
is bitter.
At the time of the alleged crime
the feeling was very intense and all
the people up there were down on the
prisoner. This feeling has had the
shaIpest parts worn of during the
years that have elapsed and now the
neighbors are disposed to look more
kindly on the man who has suffered
much. They are law abiding people
and no matter what theirifeelings may
be they will do nothing But what may
be expected from such class of citi-
zens.
David may go to his son who lives
10 Doddridge county and end his days
there with him. His home has been
sold and he is penniless from the ex-
pense attending the many trials that
he has had and the tedious course of
the law in his case. With his depar-
ture from the Jail closes one of the
most famous cases in the history of
the state.
