And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense Is colo
weaiher approaches. In fact
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
GUNNER feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years / suffered from q severe
ccse of Catarrh, and took several kinds

The University.

The state legislature should provide
literally for the state university.
The institution has made rapid strides
in the last few years and a high stand.
ard has been set by President Ray
mond and his assistants. The atten.
dance has been increased many fold
and new and more advanced courses
of instruction have constantly beer
added. The great progress made and
the thorough instruction given have
attracted the attention and favorable
comment of other states and many
young men and women without oul
borders are now preparing for their
life's work at Morgantown. 1t has
become powerful factor in the edu-
cational life of this section of the
country and to-day every citizen of the
state is proud of the institution. 1t
is the legislatures duty to see that
this good work is continued and the
means supplied whereby it may be
still further advanced. There should
be no cheese pairing In dealing with a
matter of such Importance. Wheel

Get q Start
On Catarrh

Those who get a start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather aggravates it, viii
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most OBJ
|stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,
washes, inhalations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh. for they do

The Cheat river railroad looks
more like it was to be completed
than at any time since the talk Of
the road began to occupy attention
A corps of surveyors are now on the
way up the river making the final
location of the grade. The con
tractors will follow closely on their
heels with the actual work of con
struction and before very long the
people living along the banks of the
raging Cheat will be right on the
line of a railroad which they have
so long desired.
A meeting of the stock holders OF
the road was held in Pittsburg re

Haven who has the matter of OBJ
tanning the-right-of-way in charge
reported to them the progress that
he had made He has gone up about
twenty miles aud had obtained the
needed land except in one or two
cases where he owners had been
unreasonable in their demands.
The stockholders directed the
construction to begin right away
and stated their intention to have
the required land condemned and
taken at the price which will lie
fixed by the juries which will lie
put on the cases.
The contract for considerable
lot OF the grading was given to Par.

1t is stated that the road will con-
meet with the p. Y and c. at

good weather this fall much of the
road will be completed and ready

This will make another link in
the extension of the T. V. and G. on
the west side of the river through
this county and will give great
deal of pleasure to all who are anx-
ious to see the work go through to
the south giving us competing line
and consequently better service and
accommodation in every direction.
In this connection the following
special from Parsons will be Of in
terest:
The prospects seem bright for a
big railroad development in Preston
county, there being considerable
preliminary work done in three Of
these enterprises. John Sliney has
been surveying across the Big Reno
district coal field from Cecil, Taylor
county, on the Baltimore and Ohio,
and has about decided to tap the
latter road at Rowlesburg, running
through the largest district in the
county. j. M. Guffey and other
Pittsburg capitalists are pushing
their right of way up Cheat river
from Point Marion, and it is expect
ed to tap the West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg road at this point.

VERY FORCEPUL DOCUMENT.
Hon. John T. McGraw's protest
against seating NJ B. Scott

Is signed by more than majority OF
the constitufionaIIy elected members
Of the Senate and House Of delegates
Reasons given why SCOTS certificate
was not legally given, and why he
should not be made member
OF the neutrality-suspicious. do not
expect the case TO be considered by
the Senate before next fall.
Following is the protest petition
which Hon. John T. McGraw has for
warded to the United States Senate:
To the Senate Of the United States.
We, the undersigned members Of
the Senate and the House of Delegates
OF the Legislature of West Virginia
constituting majority of said Legis-
lature. do hereby enter our protest and
remonstrance against seating Hon.
Nathan B. Scott, who claims to have
been elected Senator Of the United
States from the State OF West Virginia
for the term Of six years next ensuing
after the fourth day of March, 1899,
and who was Illegally declared elected
to said office, and without warrant Of
authority Of law, given certificate of
election as such Senator, notwith-
standing the fact as appears affirma-
lively upon the journals Of the Senate
and House that said Nathan b. Scott
received less than majority of the
votes constituting the joint conven-
tion OF the Legislature Of West Vir-
ginia; and notwithstanding the fur
ther fact as appears from the journals
of said Senate and House of Delegates,
that of the votes received by said Ma
than b. Scott and necessary to even
pretended majority OF the votes cast,
were those OF H. G. Getzendanner and
e. NJ Pierson, who had forfeited their
right to seats in said Senate and were
not eonstitutionally members Of either
Senate or House of Delegates, and
who, because of such forfeiture, had
no right to cast any vote 10 the prem
ises.
'sThe undersigned forty-nine men,
bers, constituting majority of the
ninety-seven constitutional members
of said Legislature, do hereby enter
our solemn protest and earnest remon-
STRANGE against the revolutionary pro-
ceedings under which a minority Of
said body was declared to constitute
majority, and the unlawful proceed
ings Of what was alleged to be joint
convention for the election OF Uni
ted States Senator"
The above petition is signed by forty
eight Democratic members OF the Leg
islature, and delegate J. j.. Hapston-
stall, the Republican member from
Fayette county, who voted for Judge
Golf.
McGraw now presents petition of
forty-nine members, or majority of
the ninety members of the
Legislature against Scott. These
forty-nine members did not vote for
Scott, who was declared lected by the
votes of forty-eight members
1t is understood that Governor At
kinson has not considered the possi
bility Of unfayorable action by the
Senate upon Scott's case.
Republicans do not anticipate
of the contested seat
until the Senate meets next fall.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
Which Occurred Near Weston--J. c.
Rexroad Killed by A. G. Simmons
and James Bonnet,

WESTON, W. Va, March "A
most shocking tragedy occurred seven
miles from Weston at ten O'Clock to-
day, wherein j. c. Rexroad, A. G.
Simmons and James Bennett used
deadly weapons. For some years a
feud has existed among the families
of Hexroad ond Simmons, many quar-
rels and lawsuits being participated
In, the last of which was over line
fence. 1t appears that some of the
rails of this particular fence were
blown off and hurled upon the Rex
road side. Yesterday Mr.. Clark Sim
mons, accompanied by James Bennett
went to get the rails. They were
met by Mr.. j. G. Rexroad. Some
warm words and threats were exchang-
ed. This morning Mr.. Simmons and
Bennett again went to the scene and
were again met by Rexroad, who had
a shot gun. When within range of
ten feet all parties fired, Rexroad u.s.
ing his shot gun and Simmons and
Bennett using revolvers. Rexroad's
shot went wild. Both the balls from
the revolyers took effect upon Rex
road, one piercing his neck and
shoulder and the other making a
slight flesh wound just under the left
eye.

SOME CHANGES.

ters--Other Changes in the Game

ters--Other Changes in the Game
Law.
The last Legislature passed some
game law regulations that were very
much needed and that will aid a
great deal in the preservation of the
game of the state. They made the
hunting season for quail six weeks
instead Of fifty days as at present A.
provision was inserted that will do
much to discourage foreign hunters
from coming into the state.
Eeac foreigner will have to pay
license tax Of TWENTY-FIVE dollars
for the privilege of hunting each
year No one is to kill more than
twelve quail in one day and the
fines are heavier all along the line
for violation of the law. 1t is thought
that these regulations will aid in
prevention Of the utter extinction
of the chief game bird CT the state.
Local sportsmen are very glad that
they have been passed and will see
to it that they are strictly enforced,

BIG TIME.
Preston is Going to Build Several
Railroads Right on.

Preston county now seems to bid
fair for big railroad development in
the near future. The prospects are
bright for three enterprises that are
now already under way, and with
lots ofpreliminary work done. John
Sliney has been surveying across
the Reno coal fields from Cecil, in
Taylor county, on the line of the B.
& O., and has about decided to tap
the B. q o. at Rowlesburg, cutting
clear through the largest district in
the county. Then the Pittsburg
capitalists, headed by J. M. Guffey,
are pushing their right of way up
Cheat from Point Marion to Rowles
burg, and the survey has already
been made. Then, again, the new
company organized to push the road
from Kingwood to Morgantown,
seem to be in earnest and want to
get good start on it this year.

Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment,
from Uniontown and Conceivable.
Also q Company of Guards from

horseback and in carriages, and
made an imposing appearance,
specially the Naval officers with
their gold lace and big hats.
The Reviewing Stand was erected
in front Of the Court House, and
here the crowd was 80 dense that
the parade could hardly pass
through it. Sampson and Chad

everybody, from their pictures seen
everywhere.
The following was the official
