1t is Characteristic of the Ameri-
can people that while they are more
or less lavish in the adornment of
their homes. and in ministering to
their family needs and comforts, they
are not inclined to pay extortionate
prices. That is to say, they demand
the worth of their money. 1t is this
controlling sentiment of self preser
walton financially which impels them
to turn to the advertising columns
Of reliable newspaper for informa
ton as to goods and prices. Many
intending purchasers may have a
favorite store in mind; but if there
be no business announcements to
tell of it, while scores of other es-
Establishments are extensively and al
luringly advertised, that one partic-
ular store is certain to be ignored

IT A K <
CARE

take care of the small things we are in
effect taking care of the large things
which the small things combine to make.
That is the philosophy of the old fran-
cial proverb, and its application is as
broad as human life.
Take care of what you eat, when you
eat, and how you eat and your stomach
will take care of itself. But who takes
care of such trivial things1 That is
why, someday, the majority of people
have to take care of the stomach. When
that day comes, there is no aid so effec-
tive in undoing the results of past care
lessness as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t strengthens the stomach,
and restores the organs of digestion and
nutrition to condition of healthy ac-
tivity. 1t cures biliousness, heartburn,
hatulence, indigestion, palpitation, dir

other ailments which are but the symp-
toms of disorder in the stomach and its

MoRGANTowN WEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER
Morgantown's Opportunity.

The owners OF the territory south
of Decker's Creek have offered the
University plot of ground for the
use Of the Military Department
The University authorities will
doubtless accept it. They would be
fools if they didn't.
They will build an armory over
there and lay out drill grounds for
the use of the cadets.
In this connection we want to cal |
attention to the fact that this is the
opportunity, and the only one in
sight, for Morgantown to secure a
park. We need a park, we want a
park, and we ought to have a park.
After a while-a very little while
all the vacant land adjacent to the
town will be covered with buildings
There will be no breathing space.
There will be nothing but hot walls
and hotter pavements through all
the hot summer months. There will
be no green spot for the babies, and
the feeble, and the poor to get a
breath of fresh air. Only those able
to hire a team and drive to the coun-
try will be able to escape such a
condition.
1t is great mistake for town
not to anticipate condition of this
kind and provide against it. 1t is a
mistake that cannot be remedied
when it is once made. Many old
towns have made it to their sorrow.
But the rewer towns are providing
against it. A little park, or breath
ing place for a population is essen
tial not only to its comfort but to
its health. 1t is thing of beauty
and a joy forever. Look at our
neighboring town of Waynesburg.
There is scarcely an attractive feat
ure about the place barring its beau
tiful park. That covers multitude
of faults. 1t is the one delight
the one beautiful feature about the
old town, to have most fascinating
park right in the town. But for
that, the old town would have to go
out of business.
Now, it is the habit of the New
DOMINION, TO keep an eye out for the
things that this town needs and
prevent them being overlooked
These jogs and hints come to be ap.
preciated as valuable pointers after
time if they are not at first.
We now notify our people that af-
er while they will want a park
md want it badly. There is only
me place left for it, and that is at
he end of the proposed new bridge
across Decker's creek. There is a
9eautiful spot only few minutes
walk from any part of the town, it
ought to become beautiful summer
evening resort for our population
where they could lounge and loaf in
the hot season, listen to bands of
music, and get a fresh breath of air
right off of God country.
The thing to do is for our people
to pur, base eight or ten acres right
around the site of the military
grounds and join the University in
making IA nice park of the whole
thing.
Be sure that this is valuable
suggestion, and a word to the wise
ought to be sufficient.

Output of the KIOudyke.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klon-
dyke fields the past season, The esti-
mate ranges from $40, 900, 900 to $25,
600, 900. Since the English govern
ment imposed "a royalty of 10 per cent.
the miners have adopted all sorts of
ruses to evade the law. 1t is rather
difficult operation to dodge taxes,
but it is more difficult still to dodge a
bad cold and the grip at this time of
year. When the system is weakened
by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the
best medicine to take is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds
up the system. Besides regulating
digestion, it overcomes constipation
in perfectly natural way. 1t is good
for the kidneys and liver, too, stimu-
lating each of these organs into the
proper performance of their functions.
Nothing is so good for malaria.

Offices Candidates Over the
State For Superintendent OF Free

Aspirant- The Others Who Want 1t.

Aspirant- The Others Who Want It.
Men Of all parties appear to believe
that West Virginia will be good fight
ing ground in the next campaign, and
there are therefore many candidates
for places on the State tickets of both
parties, with indications that they
will increase and mltiply In number as
the time for the convention approach
es. Geography will, as usual, be a
factor in the personnel OF the tickets,
and already there are rumors OF deals
and attempted deals, one Of which is
noted below. The office OF State
Superintendent of Free Schools is not
SO important, from the standpoint of
emolument, as Auditor or Governor,
but there viii nevertheless be very
lively scramble for the nomination.
On the Republican side, for exam
Pile, it is generally understood that
j. Russell Trotter, the present Super
intendent, is extremely anxious to
succeed himself, and 1t is also gener-
ally understood that there Is strong
element antagonistic to him in his
own party. One Of his strongest OPP
ponents for the nomination will be
Prof George M. Ford, principal of
the Concord Normal School, and for q
time principal of the Benwood public
schools. He has large following
throughout the State. Another avow-
ed candidate for the place Is ii. @.
Lockney, OF Wood county. Prof.
Miller, OF Morgantown, who was de-
feated by Virgil A. Lewis, would also
like to have the nomination again.
One of the strongest prospective
candidates on the Democratic side Of
the fence is Howard L. Swisher, Of
Morgantown, who is a University
graduate, and the author Of book OF
poems which has attracted consider
able attention.

Say a Word For Your Town.

More towns die for the want OF
confidence on the part of the bust
ness men and lack of public spirit,
than from the rivalry of neighboring
towns Or adverse surroundings.
When a man who is in search of a
home or business location goes to a
town and finds everything brimful
of hope and enthusiasm over the
prospects OF the place, and everybody
at work to build up the town, he
soon becomes imbued with the same
spirit, and as a result he drives
down his stake and goes to work
with the same interest. When how
ever, he goes to town and anyone
expresses doubt and apprehension
in the future prosperity of the place,
moping about and indulging in COM
plants about imaginary evils which
are likely to befall the town, he nat
urally feels that it is no place for
him, and at once shakes the dust
from his feet, while he pulls with all
possible speed to some other town.
Consequently, try and make live,
enterprising, progressive town out
of the one in which you live. When
you are working or saying good
thing fol- your town you are accom-
plishing all the more for yourself.

Two YEARS ago no one wonld have
advocated our taking the Philip
1 ines as Il gift from Spain, even with
the consent of the natives. The man
who would have suggested that we
send an army of 10000 men to con
Quer the islands would have been
regarded as crazy, and his claim
that it might be for the ultimate ad
vantage of both this country and
the natives would have been dis
missed as not worth discussing.
This shows what great steps have
been taken from Republicanism to-
wards Imperialism during President
McKinley's term.

there is only one opening in the bay
that ships can get past.
We are in the same place and tents

Frisco on the street cars and it only
costs sets. When we came here we
came by Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah and Nevada crossed The Rocky
mountains and the Sierra Nevades.
We went under a snow shed in the
