Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1899-01-09
A News Paper Worth Reading.

With a circulation showing a graft
tying increase Is compared with a
year ago, with more extensive adj
vertising patronage than ever before,
with added press facilities which per-
nit of enlarged editions whenever
necessary, The Pittsburg Times comes
to the public for 1899 1t modestly
claims TO be good, all-around news
paper, neglecting no opportunity to
entertain it's readers and sparing no
effort or expense to get the news ac-
curately and promptly.
While it is Republican in politics
it endeavors to be fair in discussion.
Overlooking no field of human inter
est, it is carefully edited and courts
the favor of the fireside rather than
the applause of sensation mongers.
For reference it submits to the un-
biased judgement of newspaper men
anywhere in the territory in which it
circulates. Three dollars a year or
six cents week.

Senator r.. e. Fast chairman of the
commission appointed from the last
Legislature to draft amendments to
the State constitution, to be presented

tion, all Of which are provided for in

A change in the judiciary system,

Judges, instead of four with salary
of $4, 600 year, instead of 1000.
The number of circuit judges to be in
creased from thirteen to eighteen.
with a salary of So, 900 year instead

A change in the salaries of State

tary OF State 50, 600 instead of 81 600;
the auditor 81. 600, instead of So, 900.

A change in the criminal law SC
/ that the State could take writ OF

a BRILLIANT FEAT OF ARMS.
The Capture of tIlnndslaaGte from
Beers strongly Entrcnched.

Cape Town, Oct. 22.-Dispatches re-
ceived from the front regarding the
capture of Elandslaagte show it to have
been brilliant feat of arms. The
Beers were strongly entrenched and
fought with their wonted bravery.
They seized every opportunity of com
ing into action, and ran to serve their
guns when they got good chance.
The British wounded are now being
taken to Ladysmitl
The following additional details
from official sources are at hand re-
garding the battle Saturday at Eland-
saagte:
THE Beers, although driven from
their guns returned again and again
whenever opportunity occurred. The
high ground near the left of the enc
my's position was occupied at the COM
mencement of the action, the British
creeping along the crest and max.
ing a wide circuit.
THE infantry attack was directed
against the right of the enemys posi-
ton, the British coming quickly into
contact with the Beers, who at that
point occupied strong footing. which
they held resomtely untA y flank
attack was made by our troops
who advanced with great dash and in
spite of heavy losses, carried the main
position with rush, just as the light
was failing.
The ground traversed by our troops
was rough and stony, and the capture
of the position was a fine feat of arms
The cavalry Tapped well around and in
fiicted severe loss on the enemy.
1T was highly important to strike a
severe blow, as the Orange Free State
forces are known to be concentrated
northwest of Ladysmith in considers
bic strength.
