To Plead For the Children.

Commander r. nj. G.. Brown APP
peared before the County Court on
Tuesday afternoon and made an elo-
quent appeal for the children who
are growing up in the poor house.
He wanted them removed and reared
under more favorable surroundings
than they will have amid the pau
pers of the county. His plea was an
earnest one and one that was well
founded Some plan should be found
to alleviate the condition of these
helpless charges on the county.

FIRE COMPANY.
Monthly Meeting Held on Tues
day Night at Municipal
Hall.

Three New Members Added to The
ROll-New Apparatus Has Been Sc
cured Fire Fighters in Good Trim
For Serviee-Building Has Been Fix
ed up Nicely Nothing Now Lacking.
The Fire Company held its regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday night
All of the members were present.
Three new men had been added to the
rolls since the last meeting. These
are James Kennedy, Frank Wood
and John Hare. The new men were
present and accepted the places to
which they had been chosen.
After the business meeting was
over the new members rendered some
light refreshments to the company
and the evening was passed very pleas
antly. The company is in splendid
condition.
A lot of new hose has just been re-
ceived. There are 600 feet of this.
This amount added to what is already
on hand gives the fire fighters about
1000 feet of hose with which TO com
bat the blazes that are to break out
here in the coming days.
This is all Of good quality and it is
an ample amount. Added TO what
the university has there are few
towns of the size OF Morgantown in
the country that are SO well fixed to
fight fires as this place is. Seneca is
also well fitted out with hose and
other appliances for lighting fires.
A number of the manufacturing
plants over town have their own hose
and they can help out when it comes
to matter of fire.
The Company's needs along the
line of boots, gloves and coats will
also be provided for shortly. The
needed stuff has been ordered and it
will be here before long. When 1t
arrives there will be nothing lacking
to make the life Of the fire fighters as
comfortable as they can be made.
The fire shed has been put into fine
condition. The floor has been cement
ed and the building otherwise fixed
up since it has been placed on the
Morris lot. A new fire whistle has
been placed on the electric light plant
and few other things need to be done
to get the best possible results from
the Are company.

Located in Another Place.

The story about General Joubert
having been born in Fayette County,
Pa, having been travelling around
over the country for some time and
having been properly exploded has
started in this state and laid on to
our Fayette in the southern part OF
the state. Needless to say this time
it is also without foundation. He
was born in South Africa although
the story alleging that he first saw
the light in Pennsylvania bore the
marks of truth and caught many
people before it was discovered to be
a fake.

Another unexpected turn in the
controversy between the Mingo cir

on the application of Prosecuting

John S. Marcum and w. r. Thorn

curing him to shows cause WHY he

a prisoner. The rule is made re
turnable next Friday.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Very Long Document is Present.
ed to Congress on Tuesday.

Strong Ground taken for the Retention
of the Phiiippines-De Democratic thun-
der on Trusts is stolen Foreible pre-
sentation OF the Republican Side or
the Question Involved.
The Presidents message TO Congress
was read en- Tuesday afternoon. 1t
Is very long containing about 25,
words and its length precludes our
giving 1t to our readers. However
brief summary may prove interesting.
Ii covers IN great detail every matter
OF public interest and It's length is
fully justified by thegreat Importance
OF the subjects under consideration.
Its most salient features are the de-
Tense OF the policy of Philippine an-
nexaGion, the denunciation OF trusts
and combines and the recommends
tions for remedial legislation, the
plain declarations regarding Cuban
independence, the firm demand for
further enactments for the mainte-
nance OF the gold standard. the strong
statement OF necessity for the con-
struction Of the Nicaragua canal,
and the advlsability Of prompt action
toward the erection of Governments
in Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska.
All these subjects are vital ones which
will undoubtedly play an important
part In the coming session of congress.
The Philippine question, the trust
problem. the financial legislation and
the colonial affairs will occupy the
leading places In the legislative pro-
gramme.
Perhaps the most surprising part
OF the message Is the strong words
about the trusts. They occupy a fore
most place in the document and the
president takes no middle ground.
He steals Mr.. Bryan's thunder In his
denunciation of aggregations OF wealth
and the portrayal of their pernicious
influences. The Philippine case Is
presented quite as strongly as possible.
The unequivocal stand for the reten-
tion of the islands is an echo of the
presidents speeches, but louder and
more positive. His course In throw
ing upon congress the responsibility
FOR the future Is polite and was Tore
cast some time ago.
The currency recommendations are
In line with the bills already drawn
up by committees OF house and senate
and which according to present signs
will certainly become laws, not, how
ever, without acrimonious debate and
keen opposition. The construction
OF governments In the new possessions
will receive earnest consideration.
There are many other things which
will command the attention OF con-
gress and 1t is safe to predict lively
session. The republicans cannot
claim that their case has not been
forcibly presented in Mr.. McKinley's
message. The presidents statement
is as strong as could made.

COUNCIL MEETS.
Nothing Of Importance is Done Owing
to Abseutees-Curfew Law Laid over
Until next Meeting Night.

w fsWoSNANCo OusAS'' sSss's AfsAhN Wv
Until next Meeting Night.
Council held its regular meeting
on Monday night but little was done
by the city fathers. There was but
bare quorum and the council adj
journed until the next meeting night
which doesn't come for two weeks
when they viii take up the unfnish-
ed business and transact it.
Among the matters that willcome
up for final disposition will be ae-
tion on the curfew ordinance which
has been sent before them by petit
ton. There has been strong pres
sure brought to bear on them to
pass this law and it may go through.
The law will obviate many of the
evils that have arisen among the
younger generation and will keep
many small boy off the streets
where he can learn nothing that will
do him any good after the hours
named in the ordinance.

LACK OF INTEREST
In the National Guard Causes Two
Companies to Be Dropped Out.

Two companies of West Virginia
National Guard have ceased to ex-
list. They are Company A. Second
Regiment, located at Elkins, and
commanded by Captain Collett, and
Battery B, the artillery company
located at Berkeley Springs com
manded by Captain II. Gordan
Strong. The two brass cannon
used by the Berkeley Springs com
pany will be sent to Morgantown,
to be used by the Cadets. There is
no reason for the mastering out OF
these two companies, except that
the officers and men lost interest in
the National Guard and failed tc
keep up their organization.
