DR.. A. M. JARRETT, the famous
Dentist, will be at the Franklin
House, Morgantown, March 23d and
remain ten days. tt.
MORGANToWN has never been cursed
with boom and that explains why
we are so prosperous and why we feel
SO sure of the future. We have gone
along steadily and let the natural con-
ditions as they existed build up the
town but there has been no hot house
forcing and consequently the growth
is very healthy.

Is No Accident
1t fears no comparison be-
ing too great for limitations,
too strong for rivalry.

CLARENCE PITzER, of Martinsburg
met with the strangest thing in the
way of an accident last week that has
been reported for some time. While
riding on top of a box car the top blew
off and carried him with it. The
brakeman on the train saw the acct
dent and jumped off, picking up Pit
ger. who had landed on the track, still
on the top Of the car. No bones were
broken, and the young man bids fair
to speedily recover with no i'll effects
from his rough experience.

A GENTLEMAN recently visiting
here remarked that there was a differ
ent feeling to what there was formerly
here. Not so very long ago there
were prominent business men who
advised the stranger to go else where
as the town was no good. The place
did not begin its forward march until
this class of croakers had left the con-
troll affairs. It is now under the di-
rectlon OF men who believe that there
is something ahead of us and who are
anxious to get new population in here
to share the prosperity with us.

tai of eighteen cases now under treat.
ment. The partients are well scatter
ed over the city and the state board Of
health issued a statement tonight prac-
tically declaring the disease epidemic.
The statement further says that owing
to the lateness of the season it is not
likely that the infection will spread if
introduced at another place, but sug-
gests that other towns in the state
stake such quarantine action as they
deem proper. One of the new pat.
tents is state convict named Chjtting-
ton. This is the first time in history
that yellow fever has appeared in the
penitentiary. Fortunately only a dozen
or so of convicts are within the walls.

The Dispenser y Scandal.

troll must exh ibit to that court records
on which the commissioner, Y. B.
Douthit, was discharged without "A
hearing. The commissioner can be
discharged forlcause only, and Dout-
hit demands trial by the board. His
leading attorney, Colonel George John
stone, was very caustic in his arraign-
ment of the boayd.
The scandal grows apace. Mr.. D..
A. G. QUITS, the discharged clerk, has
disgorged lost of information of a
sensational character, accusing the ex-
chairman OF the board, ]. d. Hazel

ing at his home quantities of liquor, a
menace to the morality of the youth of
the neighborhood. Captain John Black
shipping clerk, has accused QUITS Of
being spy. chief and a scoundrel.
The little family fuss in "the great
moral institution is disgusting.
AS the state board does all of its
buying behind closed doors, the public
is led to infer that whiskey houses
which use undue influence get the
largest orders. The amount of liquor
business last year exceeded 81, 500, 900.
The police provisions Of the dlspen-
sary law are grated upon constitu-
tional provisions of no sale by the
drink, no drinking on the premises, no
sales at night, ETC., but the method of
purchasing, which admits of corrup-
tion and bribery, is but statute. The
legislature will in January have an
investigation, and may probably do
away with the state dispensary, letter.

There is extreme bitterness between
the factions of the board and their
friends-the development of several
years friction. Epithets and abuse
have been applied in public print. but
there has been no personal violence
attempted.

Great Britain fight the Beers. At the

silver match safes, inscribed with the

TransvaaI a For ;ress.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-Edwin Van
dusen Paul, who is delegated to repre-
sent President Kruger at the Interna-
tional Commercial Congress will not
take further part in the proceedings.
He left today for Chicago, whence he
goes to transact other business of the
Transvaal government. Mr.. Paul in
tended to have read paper before
the congress, but the state of affairs in
South Africa called him to other duties.
Before leaving for the West he said,
speaking of the war.
":The news thus for received from
South Africa would rather favor the
British side of the conflict, but it would
be we'll for Americans to remember
that nine out of ten dispatches received
from the seat of the war comes from
British sources. do not believe that
the boys have been repulsed as badly
as the press dispatches have stated. l
realize as we'll as any one that Great
British has tremendous power, and
had she to deal with a small nation
like the Transvaal located within
reach of the guns of her ships, there
would be speedy ending of the war ;
but the Transvaal is gigantic fortress
in itself. The Beers are determined to
maintain their independence they are
willing to sacrifice all and the fight
will be a bloody one from the very
start.

Suspended by the Commons.

London, October 23.-During the
course Of the days proceedings, while
the house was discussing the report of
the supplementary estimates, Patrick
O'Brien, Parnellite member for Kill
kenny City, declared that the hands of
the British secretary of state for the
colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, were as
much stained with blood as those of
any murderer who ever mounted the
scafold.
The speaker, William Court Gully,
called upon Mr. O'Brien to with
draw his remark, but he refused to do
so, whereupon the house by vote of
316 to 26 resolved to suspend him and
he left the house remarking: "Nou

Claiming the Ear h.

London, Oct, 25.-A dis,atch to the
Telegram, dated De Aar, October %,
says the Transvaal is issuing a procla-
nation declaring the district north
ward of Vaal River, including Bechu-
analand, to be "Boer territory, The
Orange Free State is taking similar
action regarding Griqualand and the
area between Vaal River and the
Orange River.
General Cronje. who has been twice
repulsed at Mafeking, is said to be ad-
vancing on Kimberley, commanding
men aud stores aud munitions. He
has left small command investing

A dispatch hder who reached Orange

the Beers were three miles from Kim
berley, but we're afraid to attack the
lown, They were awaiting Cronje.
There are no Beers south Of Belmont,
which is twenty miles miles north of
Orange River.
Defeats in Natal are taking all the
fight from the Beers. They will not
attack the British though they may
defend few positions. 1t is believed
here that the heaviest fighting is over,
except for battle near Pretoria.
From the foregoing dispatch it is
apparent that the district of the Free
State lays claim to the diamond dis
trict including Kimberley.
The correspondent of the Times, re-
ferring to the slaughter at Glands laagic
last Saturday, says:
"Glence was as sanguinary an en-
gagement as this in every respect,
but though the price was high the
defeat was absolutely crushing.

Will Cost Dewey a Boom.

The abandonment of his Southern
trip has deprived Admiral Dewey Of
witnessing the launching ofthe Dewey
presidential boom in the South.
Plans had been quietly made by some
of the leaders to spring the boom at an
opportune time, and in the great enthu.
siasm which would have surrounded
the progress of the admiral in this sec
tion it was expected that Dewey could
be put forward as the man to beat
Bryan and Mckinley, as far as the
South's part in the contest goes.
In this movement were the anti
Bryan Democrats and the Palmer and
Buckner gold Democrats, who have
been looking for a candidate other
than the Nebraskan. 1t is said that
half dozen leading Democratic papers
in the South which have opposed Bry-
an were ready to declare for Dewey on
the occasion of his visit here. and it is
a fact that some Of the men most &C
tive in trying to get Dewey here are
anti-Aryan Democrats. They are vsi-
bly, chagrined now that the admiral
has refused to come, and they frankly
admit that Dewey has lost fine chance
of making himself popular in the South
The opponents of Bryan have looked
to Dewey as the best means of getting
out of bad situation politically, and
there is no doubt but that the Dewey
boom was ready for explosion, some
of the speeches on that line having al.
ready been prepared.
The city of Atlanta spent several
thousand dollars preparing welcome
signs and flags and bunting in the ad-
miral's honor, and it was expected
100000 people would come here to see
him. Hereafter the admiral will not
be nearly SO strong in Georgia.

Oil Trust and Leather Trust

New York, Oct. 25-It was reported
and generally credited in Wall street
today that Standard Oil capitalists had
acquired controlling interest in the
United States Leather Company, and
that 200, 900 shares of the common stock
had been transferred this week on the
books of the company to the name of
John D. Rockefeller.
An officer of the company refused to
confirm or deny these statements. Ger
tain tanning companie S, of which stock
the leather company is large holder,
own large tracts of Pennsylvania land,
which as Wall street reports had it
today, have been found to be oil-bear-
ing land. This was given on the street
as the reason ofthe Rockefeller invest
ment.
