Brothers. They are imported by thai firm
In bottles from the distiileries In Scotland
and Ireland. And II you want the cele-
brated Old Highland Scotch whiskey, or

This firm has decided TO sell all imported
wines and liquors al retail, which we think

consumers.
Lippman Brothers have something espe-
cially nice from Scotland called Cherry

Leith, Scotland, and we are safe in saying
nothing like this has ever been imported
In these parts before. IL has the most
delightful cherry favor, and the whiskey

FAIRnoNT BILL.
Has run against snag In the House
and will probably not pass Myster-
ieus Suggestion OF Amendments.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. H.
The prospects for the passage of
the new charter to consolidate the
towns of Fairmont, West Fairmont
and Palatine are not be very bright
at present This is an important 10
cal measure, and would make Fair
mont one OF the large towns of the
State, but it has struck q snag in
the senate which will probably prove
fatal to it. The people of the three
towns which desire to become one
corporation held meetings and pre-
pared charter which was approved
by the citizens generally. There
were some differences as to certain
provisions sought to be placed in it,
but these were all settled by com
promise. The charter was sent TO
Delegates Mckinney and Ash, who
introduced it in the House. 1t was
promptly passed by that body, just
as it came from the authorities of
Fairmont. When it reached the
Senate two gentlemen appeared on
the scene, one from Palatine and the
other not a citizen of either of the
towns affected, and insisted upon
amending it by the insertion of pro-
visions, which had been left out Of
the bill by the compromise.
Senator Sturm, it is understood,
will disregard the wishes of the
trainers of the charter, and insist
upon these amendments. In that
event Messrs. Mckinney and Ash
will ask the House to non-concur in
the amendments, and at this stage of
the session such disagreement will
prove fatal to the bill. In anticipa-
tion of the failure of the charter, Mr..
Mckinney introduced bill on Sat-
urday to consolidate Fairmont and
West Fairmont under the present
charter of the town of Fairmont,
leaving Palatlne out. and had the
rules suspended and the new bill
passed to second reading 1t will
probably pass the House on Tues
day.
There will be no objection in the
Senate to tais bill as it provides for
vote of the people of the two towns
and upon a favorable result of such
votes, the Circuit Court will consoli-
date them into one town, making
proper preparations for the payment
of the bonded debt etc.
Tins part of the scheme to
make greater Fairmont seems as
sured.

Still with us.

A round of applause greeted Mana
ger Parsons Saturday night when he
stated that on account of the impos-
sibility of properly heating the Fair
mont Opera House he had decided to
cancel Mr.. Mortimer's engagement in
that town. 1t was evident that Mr..
Mortimer's many admirers anticipated
prospect of seeing him and his COM
pany again at our Opera House.
We understand that Manager Par
sons and Somehow have been besieged
by requests from leading citizens to
arrange for one or two additional per-
formances while the company is here
and we hope that this may be accom-
plished. They would certainly be
greeted by full houses if they decide
to do SO.

TWO CENTS
COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
People are Appointed to Visit
the University.
Five on the Committee Democrats
Have Majority-They will be here
Wednesday Late for Very
Thorough Investigation However
Some Good will Result.

The committee on the part of the
legislature to visit the University
has been appointed. 1t consists of
Messrs. E. A. Bennett. of Cabell, G.
+. Millender, of Wayne and J. A.
Oldfeld, of Mcdowell, on the part Of
the House and T. j Pierson, of Clay,
and Commodore Dotson, Of Wood,
on the part of the Senate.
They will leave Charleston on
Tuesday and will arrive in Morgan
town on Wednesday. Since they
have been appointed so late in the
session they can do nothing more
than come here But a small lnves-
tigation can be made although ev-
erything is in readiness for them.
The authorities are very sorry that
they didn't get here earlier when
full investigation could have been
made and report prepared for the
rest of the Legislature.
The men who make up the com
mittee are among .he leading mem
beers of the two houses and it con
sists of three Democrats and two
Republicans. 1t is not known how
long they will be in Mnrgantown or
exactly at what time they will ar
rive.
Other investigating committees
have been sent here in the past and
they have all been surprised at the
extent of the work that has been
done with the means at the com,
mand of the authorities and the Wis
its have always been productive of q
great deal Of good for the institu-
ton. The one to come cannot fail
to do the same thing and every
friend of the University is glad that
the visit is to be paid.
The only thing that is needed to
show the people Of the state what we
need is to have them see what we
have to do with it. They will see a
better free school building than any
one of the University buildings and
they will find out that the results
have always been far in advance OF
any assistance that the state has
given us.
The great pity is that all the mem
bers of the legislature cannot come
and see what is here. The report
of the committee will not be made in
time to get the greatest good out Of
it but it will do some good and for
this we will be duly thankful.

w. al. FOOTBALL TEAM LOSES.
The Ohio Medical University Eleven
Rolls up Score of $115.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Feb. 13.-The
w. & J. football team lost it's case
against the Ohio Medical university
football team at Cleveland. The
case originated in game OF football
which was played at College park,
last October between the O. Nj. u.
and W. d j. teams. Toward the
close of the first half dispute arose
and the @. NJ U. team refused to
continue, the captain taking his men
and leaving the field. Owing to this
the w. & j. management refused to
paw the Ohio team the $115 gnaran-
tee. Later in the fall the w. d j.
team played Adelbert at Cleveland,
and an attachment was levied on the
receipts of the game to satisfy the
claim.
The case has been taken into the
common pleas court by the w. d j..
management, where it will finally he
disposed of

VALENTINES.
The s'comics" should be stunned
Some very pretty ones tc pick from.

Anticipating the arrival of st. Val
entine's day tomorrow the windows
of small stores are filed with horrible
examples of what an INSCRIPTIONS car
icaturist can do when he has grudge
against all humanity. Hideous al
legged portraits of preachers, teachers,
old maids, undertakers, butchers and
other prototypes Of classes in the COM
munity glare idiotically at the passer-
by and seem to mock him from their
elevated position. These are the mis-
called s'comicn valentines, the kind
that can be bought for cent apiece
and do damage that cannot be esti-
mated in dollars. Comic" valentines
are not funny; the alleged jokes which
some contain are almost pathetic, but
they accomplish their nilsson; they
wound the feelings of sensitive per-
sons. Take the case of an elderly
woman who is living alone and has
never married. The receipt of a color
ed caricature of scrawny female
labeled ssold maid" accompanied by
ribald verses which ridicule her solita-
ry condition is not calculated to rem
der kindlier her feelings toward the
the rest Of the world 1t is gratifying
to note the statement Of a New York
dealer in "comics" that their sale is
decreasing every year.
But happily there is another side to
the ST. Valentines day observance.
All valentines are not comic. Ar
tistic creations, beautiful symbols Of
cloves young dream" may also he
purchased, and the fiat has gone forth
from Dame Fashion that the sending
Of valentines this year is to be the
correct thing. In following fash
ions lead few will stop to think that
they are commemorative St. Valenti-
nus, the Roman saint, who was be-
headed some 1000 years ago. 1t is to
be hoped that the senders of valen-
tines, like their patron saint, will
not also lose their heads at this criti-
cal time.

SMALL BLAZE.
Mantel at the School Of Music found on
Fire and Easily Put out.

The School of Music caught fire
on Saturday evening but was put
out with little trouble and without
calling out the fire department. Prof.
Keene on going into one OF the
rooms found the mantel on fire from
the heat of the gas which had been
turned on full in the CRATE. The
place was beginning TO blaze strong
ly but he put it out without very
much trouble. The result might
have been serious had the fire not
been discovered when il was. The
cold weather has made it rather dan
gerous IN this direction as all the
fires over town are turned on full
and they are liable to set something
on fire about the CRATES.

Trains badly delayed.

A letter received from Mr.. Fleming
Of the NEW DOMINION who started
for New Orleans few days ago states
that he was from ten at night until
one the next afternoon going from
Grafton to Parkersburg. The tele-
graph wires were down having snapped
from the intense cold. The freight
trains were abandoned and the pas
sengers had to creep along as best they
could running with insufficient and
long delayed orders.
At first he was inclined to turn
back but must have thought better OF
1t as he has not yet returned to Nor
gantown. The party with which he
was to have left Cincinnati left there
an hour after he arrived in Parkers-
burg.

CONTROL OF SEX.
Man claims to have solved
the Problem.

The Charleston Gazette speaking
of the recent meeting of the State
Wool Growers Association, has the
following to say about resident of
this county:
A feature of the meeting was a
paper read by CT Eakin,of Wades-
town, on the subject, ssWhat can we
do towards controlling the sex. =
The writer referred to two former
papers be had presented to the asso
citation at the meeting of 1894 and
1897, in which he maintained that
the sex of sheep and other animals
could be controlled BY regulating
the food given them. He drew at
tention to the alleged fact that
prominent scientists of this and
other countries had made the
same argument. He said that his
experience in the sheep growing
business had demonstrated this the
DRY, but refrained from going into
details and giving the rules how this
might be done on account OF the
length of time and the preparation
that would be required He prom
Used, however, to publish the facts
later for the benefit of the associa-
tion and the public.
