Virginia shared more largely than
heretofore in the distribution of fish
and eggs, having received during
the year $500 rainbow trout, 900
brook trout and 1000 brook trout
eggs, $3.50 black bass and 1850
crapple, as against 3.400 rainbow

bass distributed the year before. 1t
may not be generally known that the
fish commissioner distributes free OF

cants who are able to properly care
for them. A recent application OF
this kind came from j. Z. Stewart,
of Pittsbulg, freight agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, who owns a

South is Playing.

The team Of the Baltimore Medi-

Pittsburg this afternoon and one OF
the players on the Maryland team is
w. II. South who for several years
played on the University team. The
hope is felt here that the team on
which South is playing will win the
game but few people think that it
will on account of the reputation
that w & j. has in this neck OF the

Utah and Nevada. Well ! will give
you description of my trip. We
spent Wednesday and Wednesday
night in Kansas and saw some strange
sights on the prairies the ground is as
level as floor as far as you can see
and for one day we travelled through
there and didn't see Hill or even a
tree. Nothing but prairie dogs and
cattle
We arrived at Denver at 6:10 Thurs
day evening and spent three hours
there and had a nice time. There is
where we got the first sight of the
Rockies and the sunsets there are
magnificent. We left Denver at $3.50
and arrived at Cheyenne, Wyoming,
early Friday morning and stayed there
for couple of hours then we were
getting away up in the mountains.
We spent Friday in the Rockies and
they are simply grand. They are not
like the mountains in w. Va. But
are solid masses of rock and have no
trees on them except few pine trees.
We saw several wolves one bear and
that is all of the animals we saw.
We got into Utah early Saturday
morning and / saw the grandest
scenery | ever saw even more grand
than in the Rockies, but we had not
been able to see much of these DIS we
passed the greater part of them at
night. The color of the stone in the
mountains is light red. We arrived
at Ogden, Utah Saturday at 2 p. m.
and stayed there till p. m. 1t is a
very pretty city and we paraded over
nearly all of it.

GUS Regiments.
The letter from John Shay to be
found in another column was not
written for publication but to a young
friend of his in the town. The letter
is an interesting one and will be read
by all of our readers who are anxious
to hear from the soldier boys who
have started on the long trip to the
east. The regiment is now in San
Francisco and will remain there but a
short time when it will start for the
Philippines They will probably be
in Manila by Christmas If they can
get started as soon as they expect to
get on board ship.
The Thirtieth has not yet reached

CONTRACTS LET.
Caldwell and Drake of Parkers-
burg the Successful Bidders.

Price OF the Buildings not Given Out
Yet-They are to Be Finished In Four
Hundred Days From This Date--Lo-
cation Of Armory may be Across i'm
Greenmont WorkIof the Committee.
The executive committee OF the
board OF regents adjourned on Fri
day evening after awarding the con-
tracts Tor the three new buildings
to Caldwell and Drake of Parkers-
burg. The latter had the lowest
bids out OF the field of dozen bid
ders. They have the contract for
building the Wood county Court
House and Tor the Capitol Annex at
Charleston and are builders of
state wide reputation.
The price at which the buildings
were let is not made public but will
be given out when the contracts are
closed up. Mr. Sturgiss assures Us
that it was well within the amount
of money available which is in
round numbers $76,000 for the three
buildings.
The executive committee reserved
the right TO change the location of the
Armory from the present University
grounds to the new grounds across in
Greenmont which have been rendered
the board in writing by the owners,
DR.. S. s. Wade, r. r.. Chrisman, |.
G. Lazzelle and Huston and Domain.
They have offered the board thren and
seven, tenth acres free of any charges
In the new addition which piece of
land Is 30 be used as site for the
armory and for drill and athletic
grounds.
The committee had no power to ac-
cept the tender but they assured the
donors that the board would in all
likelihood gladly take the offered land
at their next meeting and the build
ing would probably be placed on 1t.
The contractor objected somewhat to
this arrangement but it is expected
that he will let it go as he will have
less excavating TO do and have less
stone work TO put IN.
The contracts for the buildings
have been left to Nj. Ster1,!se &c &c
pare and ne Is engaged III drawing
them up now. They will be gotten
ready for the signature OF the MEM
bers of the committee and of the firm
as soon as possible. They will call for
the completion of the buildings with
in four hundred working days from
the time that they were let. They
are each TO be made out separately
and are to be worked and finished in
dependently Of one another.
The bondsmen for the contractors
are the members Of the Citizens Title
and Trust Company OF Parkersburg.
The architects are Wilson Brothers
and Company of Philadelphia. The
contractors are very well satisfied with
the plans and specifications and state
that they are the most complete sets
that they have ever examined. They
will get to work as soon as the con-
tracts are closed up aud will rush the
buildings to completion as rapidly as
possible.

the whole showed that he was the
most scientific boxer.
The result of the fight was watched
with much interest by the sporting
fraternity here and number of young
men remained up until the fight
was over to learn the result. The
rounds came ia over the long distance
telephone and were given out to the
crowd. Sharkey was the hot favorite
and the news that Jefferies had won
was great surprise to the crowd.

The "GunN Habit.

Two men in the east fell to shoot
ing each other over a cigarette. In
Jackson county miner has just shot
his partner In quarrel oyer sad
die blanket. These accidents could
not have occurred but for the ex-
ecrable habit OF carrying "a gun"
The "gun" carrier Is a riminal TO be-
gin with aud only awaits chance to
commit another crime. There Is
a law against carrying concealed
weapons but IT is not enforced IN the
newer parts OF the county. There is
no more real necessity for carrying a
gua where the American flag floats,
than going clad 10 Medieval mail
armor. The dangerous man and the
man who generally loses his life is
the man who carries the gun. The
"gun" carrier should not have sexe-
cutlYe clemency extended TO him.
He does not carry gun TO hunt
game. He is not a sportsman, lie Is
generally a cowardly bully who when
he thinks he can get the drop" on
another man, that is get the advan-
tage OF him, flourishes his weapon. A
woman with pair OF shears, or a re-
porter with sharp lead pencil has
put more than one such pusilIanimous
gun heud to flight The Jackson
county murder should be an object
lesson to the reader be he young or
old, and should be solemn warning
TO abstain from the "gun" habit, 1t
not only costs human life, but costs
the taxpayer large sums of money 10
the criminal expenses caused by
shooting affairs growing out OF the
internal abomlnable "gun" habit.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.
Do Not Be Alarmed But Look for the
Cause.

E11eart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due tC
the excitement and worry OF Ameri
can business life, IL is more often the
result of weak stomachs. OF poor dl.
gestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable
but not one case IN hundred Of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic
and Pneumogastrlc.
In another way, also the heart is ef.
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food, There is a
feeling OF oppression and heaylness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action
hence arises palpi'atiOn aud short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making II thin and watery
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment foI
heart trouble IS to Improve the diRes
tion and TO insure the prompt ASSN
ilatioh Of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals OF some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores
and which contain valuable, harmless
digestive elements Ia pleasant, con.
venient form.
IL is safe TO say that the regular
persistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form OF stomach trouble except.cancer
OF the stomach.
Full sized package OF these tablets
