MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, November
IA curfew ordinance is before the
council, backed by an almost unani-
nous petition of the citizens ofthe
town.
Lieutenant Harry A. Eaton, of the
regular army, is in Morgantown to
visit his friends at the University. He
has seen service in Cuba and Porto
Rico since he entered the army after
a competitive examination, being the
only man from West Virginia who went
in under similar circumstances. Eaton
was selected as representative of the
w. v. u, being one of the young men
who were taken from military colleges
from all over the country, it being in
the nature of an experiment to see
how nearly they had been fitting their
graduates to compete with those of
West Point. 1t is said that the plan
has worked very successfully. RI
There is no clue to the robbers whit.
entered the residence Of Isaac p. Conn
at Cheat Haven on Saturday night, but
It is suspected by some that the CANT
Is from this county.
1t is now proposed to take the money
that was left over from the celebration
Of Chadwick Day and erect q statue to
the grand old man Of Monongalia, Sem
ator Waltman T. Wiley. The plan is
meeting with great favor.

RECORD BREAKING WAGES.

The Price of Steel Rails Give the Wurkmen
Unusually Good Compensation.
CHICAGO. November 14.--Begin-
ming January 1 next steel rail workers
On the South Chicago mills of the ILL
nois Steel Company will receive record
breaking wages. Owing to increased
price of the finished product the men,
some 300 in number. will be able to
earn from $3.50 to $500 month. This
unusual condition is due to the fact
that the company failed to readjust
the sliding scale of wages last June,
and under the contracts new scale
cannot be arranged before June /, 1900,
and cannot go into effect for six months
after that date.
w. c. Davis. Vice President of the
: Amalgamated Association Of Iron, Tin
and Steel Workers. says the nearest
approach to the wages which will be
| paid was in 1892, when the price of the
Eteel rails reached $29.

with organizing into unions the diff

of miners, that being the main object,
1T is thought, and in this but little, il
any success was accomplished. Com
plants can be heard from but few
miners around here, for they claim az
good wages can be made here as can
be made in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other States from the fact that coal
Is easier mined. Miners very often
are seen here from other States in
search of work, but it is seldom a
miner leaves this district to mine a
harder coal at an increase of a few
cents on the car more than is paid
here.

THE LEGACY
Which Was Provided in Senator
SCOTS Will-Money Bequeathed
to Make A. B. White Governor,

Parkersburg Sentinel.
A story comes from Morgantown, in
such direct way that it's truthfulness
cannot be questioned, which shows
more plainly than any words could
show the remarkable interest which at
least one of the Republican Senators
OF this State is taking in the candidacy
OF A. b. White for the Governorship.
And, politically, the interests OF Scott
and Elkins are identical.
Senator Scott was taken sick while
at Morgantown attending the Chad
WICK sword presentation exercises and
ne was really much more alarmed
ABOUT his condition than appeared from
the newspapers. He was very sick
man, and he knew it. 1t was feared
that his illness was Of such a nature
that he might not recover, and in this
condition he sent for a lawyer, had
his will drawn up and signed it.
In this will be left a large sum of
money, reDuted to be 100000, to be
used for the purpose of securing the
election of A. B. White as Governor
of West Virginia. The exact amount
Of the bequest and the person to
whom it was left cannot be stated, but
it is said to be absolutely true that a
very large sum was left for the specific
purpose of securing or attempting to Sc
cure Whites election.
And yet they say White is not the
candidate Of the bosses. Elkins says
he is not interested in the candidates
but will be for any of them. Scott says
he is taking no part in the selection OF
candidates. But an interest that sur
wives life itself and a support that
leaves cash to be used even after death
are the kind that most candidates
would be glad to get.
Queer legacies have been left by
many queer people. but it is safe To
say that the Governorship of a State
was never bequeathed by mortal before,
nor has political Office ever been re-
ceived as legacy in the land OF the
free. Scots will may go to probate be-
fore the election, but the voters OF the
State will break the will if it does and
bestow the legacy on some other man

shade Of green, trimmed with chin
chilla and dainty rosettes of eau de Nil
ribbon and black velvet to go with it.
The rosettes are placed at the base Of
the crown in front and are intercepted
by two very glossy black crows quilts.
Under the brim of the hat are two
rosettes of ribbon and velvet.
Accompanying this stylish hat is a
handsome jacket of pale ecru ladies'
cloth in which are combined all the
questionable features of tailor
made coats. At the throat is tie of
yellow net trimmed along the edges
with narrow ruches of chiffon and tiny
bands of chinchilla.
A notable feature in many of the
fashionable hats and toques is the odd
feathers Of white spotted with black,
and vice versa, which stand direct in
front, giving both height and dignity
to ones bearing. Quilts too are spot
ted with small tablet-shaped bits of
white material, which closely resemble
bone highly polished or enameled.
Buckles are used in great variety of
design and material and hats depend
for their beauty to such a great extent
upon their originality of trimming until
one is allowed the greatest liberty in
selecting decorations.

THE STANDARD SPOON MEASURE
MENT.

MENT.
To those who have no scales in the
kitchen, an article which should be
among the first on the list of necessary
untensils, it is convenient to know that
ounces and fractional parts of the
standard cup measure have their equiv
alent in the common tablespoon, not
the iron mixing spoon; this is quite a
little larger than the one used as a
serving spoon.
Thus one tablespoon filled with but
ter so it rounds up above the edge as
much as the bowl of the spoon is below
the edge, is found to weigh one ounce,
and by putting two such spoonfuls to-
gether on one spoon, making a heap
ing spoonful, we have two ounces, or
one-fourth Of half-pint cup. One
who can carry this amount in her eye
can measure the quarter cup in this
way without the trouble and waste Of
packing it into cup.
Two rounded tablespoons Of -four, of
coffee and of powdered sugar are each
about an ounce. Liquids are measured
level with the edge, and one tablespoon
Of liquid is one-half an ounce.
The tablespoon and teaspoon are used
largely in making meat and fish
sauces, and white and brown roux, and
in measuring condiments, favorings,
soda, cream of tartar and baking pow
der, and in nearly every instance these
are materials which should be measured
with accuracy. For while it might
do no harm to have one or two table,
spoons more or less of flour or sugar in
cake, it would be Objectionable to
measure out soda or spice with a too
free hand.
On account of the difficulty in teach
ing pupils to measure exactly by using
the varying standards of even, rounded
and heaped sEoonfuls, the cooking
schools have adopted the level spoon
full as the only correct measurement.
Flour, meal, sugar, salt, spices and
soda should always be sifted before
measuring. Other dry materials that
have been packed into small space, like
mustard, baking powder, etc., if not
sifted, should be stirred and broken up
lightly. Dip the spoon into the light
material, take up a generous spoonful,
then cut off with a knife all that lies
above the edge of the spoon. This is
quite little less than the ordinary
level spoon measure, and it is well to
remember this now in reading recipes
by cooking teachers. A half teaspoon
is measured by dividing level spoon
full through the middle Iengthwise, and
by cutting this half through crosswise
we have onefourth of a teaspoon, or
saltspoon as it is sometimes designated.

GRAFTON, w. Va, November A.
In accordance with call issued by the
ministers of the various churches of
the city. mass meeting was held at
the Court House last night to protest
against the seating of Congressman
elect Brigham H. Roberts from the
State Of Utah. The attendance was
small, not over thirty being present,
ten of whom were ministers.
While the resolutions 'were being
prepared speeches were made by Rev.
Lynch and Harry Baltchley, in which
the history Of the Mormon church and
polygamy were portrayed in their worst
form. Three petitions were presented,
one to Congressman Dayton. one to the
United States Senate and one to Pres
ident Mckinley. About three-fourths
of those present signed them. Rev.
Simmons apologized for the slim at
tendance, giving as a reason that a
show was in progress in the Opera
House.
Resolutions were adopted calling
upon West Virginia's representatives
in Congress, upon President Mckinley
and Governor Atkinson to use the
weight of their influence, personal and
political, to secure the unseating of
Roberts and the enactment of an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States against all forms of
plural marriage.

STRANGE CASE.
James Taylor Slowly Dying From
the Effects Of Fall Received IN
1897.

Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, November
1.-THE strange case of James Taylor,
who has been dying by inches for some
time past. Is arousing great interest in
the medical fraternity. Taylor was a
tool dresser and worked in the oil
fields on Jake's Run, this county
While engaged in his work he fell from
the top of the derrick to the ground,
a distance of So feet, and escaped death
almost by miracle. This was in July,
1897 His back was broken in three
places and he sustained several other
injuries.
He was taken to Pittsburg expecting
to die at any moment, and placed in
hospital there. An operation was
performed by which three pieces of his
back bone were taken out, and he be-
gan to rally. Several subsequent oper-
atoms were performed, but they were
all temporary in the relief that they
furnished and he gradually grew worse
and worse.
Taylor's body from the waist up is
in a healthy condition but below that
is badly decomposed, according to those
who ere near him. The bones are al
ready decayed. He eats an ordinary
amount of food each day. Medical at
tention is refused by him, as he says
that he knows that he cannot live much
longer and he wants to die without
prolonging the agony any longer than
necessary.

SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Earl
Winter.


Winter.
A change from warm to cold Is
always attended with more danger
than from a cold to warm tenn
perature, hence the greater mortal
ity from lung and throat disease at
this season of the year as compared
with spring.
The best protection against colds
is not so much in extra clothing as
in good digestion.
If the digestion and circulation
are good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor cir
sulation of the blood and when IN
this condition severe colds are con-
tracted on the slightest provoca-
tion.
People who make regular prac-
tice of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals are free from
colds, simply because their diges-
ton is perfect, the heart strong and
regular, and the whole system for
titled against disease.
1t requires little argument TO con-
vince any one that the pest s21e-
guards against colds, pneumonia
and changes OF temperature is
good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals are dissolved and
mingling with the food cause it to
be promptly digested and assim-
Hated; they do this because they
contain nothing but harmless ciges-
tive elements, which digest meat,
eggs and other food even when the
stomach itself is weak and faced.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people well and keep them well,
and the best habit you can acquire
is to make daily use of them at
meals to keep the digestive organs
