RUTTER'S BAND.
Concert Given was Very Fine One
Large Crowd out to Hear il.

Rutter's band excursion from I'M
dontown was one of the incest crowds
that ever visited the town. The boat
was damned and it was probably the
largest that has ever come up the riv
.er. The boat was met and the racks
and other belongings of the band
were hauled to the lawn ia front of
the Court House where a delightful
concert vas rendered.
The band is always good one and
it was never in better form than it
was Yesterday and the selections given
were very greatly enjoyed. Its hard
matter to tell whether the old pieces
or the new were enjoyed the greater
but the large crowd Of people who had
gathered to listen to the strains were
delighted with what they received.
The crowd down to meet the boat
and see it leave was the largest ever
turned out here showing the interest
the people living here took in the Wis
it of our neighbors. Hundreds OF
people stood on the wharf and waved
a good bye The day was an ideal
one and the excursionists no doubt
enjoyed the whole experience I'M

What it Would Prove.

The American army in the vicinity
of Manila is in danger of being flood
ed out. Another indication Of the
s'great value" of the Philippines. -
New Dominion.
La the Brazos valley, Texas, thous-
ond of square miles of cultivated fields
have recently been devastated by floods
and thousands Of people were made
homeless What does it indicate
anent the ''great value of the clone
Star State" Virginia Free Press.
In case the Texas floods came once
every six months and lasted for six
months instead of coming once in a
century and lasting but few weeks
the United States would have very
little use for that part of Texas as a
place to kill off it's citizens. But the
size of the Texas floods were over es-
timated in the first place while the
reports from Manila had been tuned
down by the judicious censor who did
not want to set the people of this
country by the ears. A harder effort
will have to be made if the floods in
Manila are TO be twisted into an ar
gument in favor of expansion.

CONSTABLE DAUyLL DEAD.
Man Who Visited Morgantown after
Fighting Tom Cooper dies suddenly

Jacob Duvall, of Pittsburg, died a
day or SO ago OF hemorfhage. He
was taken on street car and died
before he could be removed to any
place for treatment.
Duvall was one OF the most noted
of the officers of Pittsburg being one
of the constables. He had great
reputation among the law breakers
of that section. This he gained by
his record for fearlessness. He was
in former years mail carrier in the
far west and had one of the most
dangerous routes in the country.
"A coupe or years ago he added to
his reputation in Pittsburg by the
capture of Fighting Tom Cooper in
the woods near here However it
was. the general impression that any
one could have arrested Cooper had
they had the chance to face him.
The Pittsburg papers are full of
the exploits of the constable who
was pretty sandy for the denizens of
that place.

Fever Patient Runs Out and Jumps into
Stream Nearby None the worse
for Ii.

Mrs. John Reiner, OF Easton, has
the fever and has been very Ill being
delirious from the effects of the NAL

for few moments. While they were
gone Mrs. Reiner arose and ran out
of the house.
She ran to creek nearby and
plunged headlong into the cool wa

ARE INVESTIGATING.
People at Uniont0wn Want to Know
How the Bicycle Race Was Stopped.

The News Standard states that an
investigation of the alleged crooked
ness in the bicycle races down there is
being looked up. A reward OF fifty
dollars has been offered by the associa-
tion and they are determined to run
down the parties who placed the tacks
and nails in the road over which the
race was TO have been run.
1t will be remembered that the men
started when they both had their
tires punctured and that there was a
suspicion that there was foul play In
some manner over the thing. The
people who had the race in charge
want to know just what is going on
and they have set the investigation on
foot to find out how it was done.

West Virginia Notes.

A new glass factory for Clarksburg
looks like go.
The site has been purchased in
Fairmont for the Miners Hospital.
A tri-state reunion of Union sol
diers will be held in Wheeling August
9TH.
The street fair idea is becoming
epidemic, Weston is agitating one
for September, and Philippi will do
the grand in this line soon.
The Wheeling stogie decision has
stirred up local pride of many other
towns in the state. Ravenswood is
urging the establishment of a
stogie factory. Years ago the town
had one with an annual pay roll of
S., 600.
Governor Atkinson is besieged with
applications for The scholarship given

Design, New York, to be given to one

III. Devine, of Huntington. who sees
in the offer good chance 60 obtain

form the mission and others may fol-

1t is said that the Kentucky feuds
are partly caused by too loose prac-
tice Of carrying fire arms. The Hat
field Mccoy feud is under the same
ban. Carrying concealed weapons is
a misdemeanor in this state. but the
next legislature may make it felony.
West Virginia has figured largely
in contemplated railroad deals this
year, and more miles of new road are
on the lips of Dame Rumor than for
many moons, beside that in construc-
tion. The states mineral and timber
resources are attracting the attention
of capital for Investment, and it is
an idle dream to predict that the I'M
limited coal lands alone will turn all
eyes to West Virginia in decade or
two. The railroad is the advance
agent of the manufacturer In its
wake come rapid development Of adj
joining territory and fifty year old
native is amazed at the metamorphosis
this state has undergone since the
locomotive first awakened the noun
tain echoes. The latest project af-
fecting West Virginia that is talked
of in the railroad world is the propos-
ed north and south trunk line from
Cleveland to interior West Virginia,

Wheeling s. Lake Erie, Cleveland
Canton & Southern, GAINESVILLE &
Ohio River, and the Little Kanawha
roads. This project will not come
about in day; such undertakings do
not. Officials in touch with the
movement assert there is good grounds
for their faith in believing the deal will
go through, and its consummation will
mean much to this state.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. July Is
The taking of testimony in the Nc
GraW-Seott contest case has begun.
The dispositions of Senators w. l..
,Ashby and G. w. Osenton, Democrats
and Delegate ]. ]. Haptonstall, were
taken. The testimony of these wit
nesses was to the effect that the agree
ment entered into between the Re-
publican and Democratic members to
postpone for few days the contest
proceedings in the two houses Of the
Legislature, by which members were
TO be unseated in each house, was en-
tered into on the part of the Demo-
cratic members for the purpose of
preventing disorder and violence and
disrupting the Legislature, and not
for the purpose of electing a u. D.
senator: that had these contest pro-
ceedings continued in the House. the
Democrats would have had a clear
majority on joint ballot, and would
have been able to elect the U. S. sem
Republicans had given the Democrats
TO understand that if Logan and
Dent and other Democratic contest
ants were unseated they would retail
ate by ousting Democratic members
from the Senate, one for every Demo
cratic member seated in the House,
and this without even hearing of
hai Ia
entered upon the part of the Demo-
Gratis with the full knowledge that it
would deprive them of the chance of
eleeting United States senator by a
strict party vote: that the Republican
members of the Legislature, State
officers and others threatened the
Democrats with violence If they
did not accede to the demands made
by the Republicans in admitting Re-
publican claimants TO seats, whose
names had been placed on the rolls by
the Secretary of State, but who did
not hold legal certificates of election:
that while Mr. Scott claimed the for
ty-eight members who yobed for niIn
constituted a majority of the Legisla-
sure, there were forty-nine members
who protested against his election.
The taking of further testimony
mere was postponed till August 3, in
order to take the affidavit OF W. A.
sOhley, who is now absent from the
city.
The attorneys for McGraw express
themselves well satisfied with the
character of the testimony taken and
believe it will be amply sufficient to
prevent the seating of n. B. Scott.

They RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe, However, is not Argument
and Facts are stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases, so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and indigestion, Many such pride
themselves in acuteness in never being
humbugged, especially in medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be car
red TOO far, so far, in fact, that many peo-
pie suffer for years with weak digestion
In faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally used
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines for the rea-
son that they are not secret patent med
icine, no secret is made OF their ingredients,
but analysis shows them to contain the nat
ural digestive ferments, pure aseptic peDsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth,
hydrastis and nuX. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure indigestion on the common
sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor
oughy before 1t has time to ferment. sour
and cause the mischief This Is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is
to IL. Food not digested or half dgested il
poison as 1t creates gas, acidity, headaches,
palptation OF the heart, loss OF flesh and
appetite and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name

new trial in the Noise mandamus case,
which was decided adversely to the city
some time ago.
In connection with the effort OF the Board
of County Commissioners to dictate whom
the county clerk shall employ in his office
there is an interesting development in the
shape of an effort to give Frank Ransom
job and saddle the expense on the tax
payers. The initial step is taken in pc
tition signed by number of Dee's political
compatriots, in which the county board is
requested to employ special counsel to de-
termine the right of the board to
designate the employees in the office
of the county clerk. 1t is represented
that the taxpayers of the county
are literally lying awake nights and
that it is of paramount Importance that this
question should be settled before the wheels
Of government stop moving altogether. The
)etition is signed by John T. Murphy,
Churchill Parker, p. C. Heafy, e. F. How
ell, Walter Brandes, John DreXel, John Lid
dell, w. H. Olmstead, Louis Bohme ana
several other fusion politicians.
This mild draught on the treasury in the
interests of the combine will come up for
consideration at the next meeting of the
board That it will be vigorously opposed
by the republican members is certain.
These declare that there is no more reason
why the county should furnish Dee with an
attorney than that it should furnish one for
the county clerk. Mr.. Haverly has retained
an attorney to represent him in the mar
damus proceedings without even suggesting
that the taxpayers should foot the bill ana
they suggest that it is eminently proper that
Dee should do the same thing.
