Running.

Fairmont now has license. This
was decided on Monday and on that
day at noon the general irrigation
which had been neglected since the
first OF May was resumed in great
shape The shouting OF the thirsty
could almost be heard in Morgan
town when the news was made pub
lie in Fairmont.
Frank Cox was called in by the
interested parties to investigate the
matter and help institute the legal
steps necessary to keep the saloons
open. 1t was decided to make a
strong fight but when it came to a
trial of the case the authorities
backed down.
The license had been granted and
it had been rescinded by less than a
majority of the council. This was
an illegal step of course and the Ii
censes that had been granted had to
stand. The row between the county
court and the council was patched
up in way satisfactory to both
sides and the saloons are now doing
business at the old stand in Fair

AWFUL SLOW.
That's What the Kingwood Council
Is-Won't Let Jimmie Finish His
Contract.

Last fall the town of Kingwood
gave a contract for stone sidewalks
to Mr. James Grant, of this place
and he even IN the face of bad
weather got large part of it com
pleted but the severe winter stopped
the work and now the council has
decided to not have it completed.
Mr. Grant had all his appliances
there and was ready to finish his
contract and was doing a splendid
job. There is no way to account
for the action except that they don t
want any Improvements. To show
how the people regret the action we
clip the following from one of
the local papers of that town:
I'VE think it high time our town
officials were pushing the compile
tion of the stone work that has been
so long delayed. Ofcourse the mat
ter mad to be deferred through the
winter on account of the weather,
but we have now had a solid month
of very fine working weather, and
the work could have been complet-
ed by this time, if the officials had
allowed the stone contractor to come
on and complete his work, as they
should have instead of trying to put
him off and delay the matter as much
as possible.

TO LEAVE THE POINT.
Dewing & Sons are Going to Southern
West Virginia

POINT MARION, May 10-Dewing
& Sons have sold their timber land
and their mills, and the mills will be
removed from here. The land con-
sists OF nearly 10000 acres of timber
and is situated on Shafer's fork of
Cheat river in Randolph county, W
Va. The sale includes the logging
plant and river driving outfit, saw
mill, which is to remain here one year,
and the planning mill, which is to re-
main two years, or the former until
all the logs are sawed up and the lat
ter until all the lumber is worked up
The firm has between two and three
thousand logs in the river to be sawed
The consideration is 5000, 600 and the
parties purchasing are connected with
the leather interests and also the wood
pulp mill interests. 1t is expected
that the sawmills and planning mills
will be removed and located on a new
railroad to be built northward into
the timber tract from the nearest
point on the Chesapeake & Ohio r.
r., and hence the timber will then go
east. All realize that the removal of
these mills will be serious loss to
Point Marion and vicinity, and re-
greet that circumstances have so COM
bined as to cause the removal.

An ADMIRABLE ADDRESS
Was Prof. Armstrong; Talk to the
Graduates Last Night.

A large and appreciatiye audience
assembled ut the school auditorium
last evening to hear that prince of
pleasant speakers, Prof Robert q.
Armstrong, of the West Virginia
University, deliver an address to
the class of 80, who are to be grad
uated from the High School this
evening. Preceding the introduc-
tion of the speaker by Prof Fleming
the Olean Mandolin and Guitar Club
discoursed some excellent music
and Dr. Flanagan of the Presbyter
ian church, offered an invocation.
Professor Armstrong, who is always
genial and bubbling over with ha-
NOR, was in one of bis happiest
moods, and his address was one con
tinuous expression of sparkling hui
NOR, solid sense, poetic utterances
and scholarly thoughts, and con
tanned much Of christian counsel
and advice besides. His hearers
were convulsed at his humor one
moment and moved almost to tears
by his pathos the next. 1t was a
splennid effort and was spoken of
in the most complimentary terms by
everybody. The exercises closed
with music by the orchestra and the

Reason That Deyeney Does not Have
License In FairmOnt-Final
Action Thursday.

Deveney OF Fairmont is the only
saloon keeper up there who hasn't re-
ceived license. He is the proprietor
of the Hotel Marietta. The failure
of this man to get the coveted privi-
lege is due to his stand on politics in
the last campaign. He fought GER
tain man who wanted to he elected to
the county court but his efforts were
futile. This soured the court.
AT the same time he fought for the
election Of the council which was sue
cessful and this fixed them They
were for him. They granted him
license and the court turned him
down. This precipitated the row
and neither could compromise. How
ever they all have license now except
him and his case will be taken up by
the court on Thursday when he will
probably be granted the permit

Randolph county almost became
tangled up in fight over the county
seat the first of this week. The two
towns of Beverly and Elkins were
arming themselves and in the act OF
beginning hostilities when these
were happily averted.
Elkins wants the court house as
the circuit court had given it TO
them as result of the election held
in ninty-six. This had been in the
supreme court several times on one
phase or another. Elkins has finally
won and they had started to take
the records away.
Beverly made up its mind to re-
sist this move to the last and a great
deal of bloodshed would have fol-
lowed Entertainments were thrown
up at Beverly and People guarded
them all night long. Elkins people
began to arm to move on the breast
works when cooler counsel prevailed
and the parties agreed to take an
other appeal to the supreme court
and wait until it was decided before
any further move was made.
In the meantime Beverly holds
the court house and the chances are
that there will be no fight for some
time yet.

Kansas City Star: II the formation OF
trusts continues there will be a rush TO
the farming lands OF the United States
by men thrown out of work by the COM
bination of varied interests. Viewed in the
light of the future, this may not be an
entirely bad outlook for the nation. A

New York Times: The $780, 00. 900 will
now become due and payable. To Spain that
will be the only agreeable incident Of the
war.
New York World: Now that the treaty
Of peace has been ratified by Spain, the Fill
ipinos are no longer Insurgents As they
have never accepted our authority, they are
not technically rebels" 1nasmuch as we
bought them at so a head, is not their real
status that of contumacious chattels?
New York Mail and Express; The SOW
e~reignty of the United States over Porto
Rico. Guam and the Philippines is now for
mally confirmed. Our guardianship of Cuba
is established. The title to responsibility
and the burden of duty have been accepted.
This nation will address itself to the tasks
Of the future with all the courage and mag
nanimity that 1t has displayed in the past.
Philadelphia Times: The effect in Spain
1t is impossible to conjecture at this dis
lance. The nation certainly will be no worse
off for the formal settlement of these for
eign issues, and the government can scarcely
be less strong for the determined position
1t has assumed Spain needs to turn Its
best energies to domestic development. and
the poor success of the military policy may
prove helpful in the end to interests of
peace.
Chicago Times-Herald: There is now
nothing further to be done for the compile
ton of the formalities except to exchange
ratifications. These things are of some his
torical Importance, useful in the summary
of dates and in perfecting the record. but
the policy of the United States was prac-
| tically adopted long ago. We shall continue
at Manila as we have begun, and not the
slightest change will be noticeable because
Of the event of yesterday.
st. Louis cbe -Democrat: The possibility
of future trouble, however, is diminished
by the removal of Spain from the American
continent. The territory of the two nations
nowhere lies close together except in the
Caroline islands, and there is not any seri-
Gus chance of quarrel in that quarter. The
war which has just officially closed has
ended a century of troubles between Spain
and the United States, and the probabilities
point to an unbroken condition of amity in
their relations with each other from this
