Rev. Hughes, of Tyler county, has
sued several newspapers for an edi-
itorial which they have published
and which appeared first in the Wet
eel Democrat, for $4,000. The ar
ticle in question intimated that a
member of the legislature had re-
ceived $1,000 for his vote and had
voted for Scott after declaring with
all the emphasis possible that he
would never vote for him. The arti-
Gle in question was very funny one
but it hardly damaged the reverend
gentleman to the extent that he
thinks it did. However as the news
paper men of the state have plenty
of money they can afford to pay the
damages without missing the money.

Deafness ,annot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed con-
dition OF the mucous surfaces.

often the result OF kidney disease. II
kidney trouble Is allowed TO advances

kidneys themselves break down and

Disease, the worst form Of kidney
trouble. Kidney trouble can be de-
tected although it be slow and decep-

the urine aside in glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, when cloudy or

SOME LIVELY TIMES.

Bounced Others voted against
Slap at Wes' Unfairness- Other
Notes.
CHARLEroS, w. Va, Feb l5.-The
session of the legislature this morn
ing was of more Importance than
any yet held The removal of the
capitol, extension of the session and
the taxation of corporations were
all considered with hot debate and
fiery repartee. The first blow of the
Parkersburgers for the removal of
the capital to that town was struck
in the senate when Cornwell, dem
ocrat, Hampshire moved to recon
slider the vote on which the bill au-
thorizing the construction of capt.
tai annex at Charleston. The mo
on was carried, IL to 3, and the bill
brought back from the house. Fast
then moved to indefinitely postpone
the bill, Kidd argued that the six
ty thousand dollars would only buy
a lot and lay foundations and that
one hundred thousand dollars would
be asked at the next session. He
thought there was job in it.
Beavers said it was a scheme to re
move the capital and fought the
proposition On motion the bill
was laid on the table and is now
dead.
The Parkersburg lobby arrived
last night. Fast, Cornwell and Cole
lead the fight for Parkersburg Fast
introduced resolution for fifteen
day extension and asked immediate
consideration Farr and others sup
ported the extension but opposed
immediate consideration The res
olution goes over till tomorrow. 1t
now looks as if the session will be
extended rs the senate took over a
day to consider the governors APP
pointments.
The appointments of number
of gold Democrats were fought when
they came up and one of them was
knocked out. Atkinson in defiance
of the law and of fairness appointed
a great many gold Democrats to Of
fee when required to place Demo
Gratis in the positions. One of these
men, A. Mcveigh Miller, of Alder.
son, went over to the Republicans
altogether and was a member of the
board of visitors at the Hospital for
the Insane at Weston.
His appointment was defeated by
a good vote. Senator Fast was one
of the men who voted against him In
the interest OF fairness W. NJ. o.
Dawson had two votes cast against
his confirmation aud five went
against j. w. Gilkeson a member of
the penitentiary board. The other
appointments went through without
protest.

This the Truth.

The county commissioners of Mon
orgalia county do not want to build
another bridge at that place across
the Monongahela river. There is
but right thing to do and be done
with it, and that is to buy the pres
ent bridge now suspended over the
stream. 1t will be the cheapest, the
wisest and the only safe plan to pur-
sue. Loggerheadism never counted
a cent for the people, and it
never will.-Free Press.

A LITTLE SCHEME.
How A. B. White knocked out
some senatorial timber.

No oratorical phyrotechnics- Fast
was to have made speech for G0ff--
Had all the other plans failed the
Anti-Scott people would have brought
out Sturgiss-Several Democratic
votes said to have been his for the
asking How aIi the cake was made
dough.
A very interesting little scheme
was shown in recent dispatch to
the Wheeling News from Charles
ton. 1t shows how a Morgantown
man might have plucked the honor
of the nomination for the United
States Senate and as subsequent
events showed he would now have
held the certificate of election TO
that body.
Not only was the Morgantown
man knocked out but there are 9TH
ers who were disappointed. Golf
was to have been the first choice and
in case he could not beat Scott the
people who we're in favor of him
would have rallied to Sturgiss who
would have received the votes of
several Democrats.
The story as sent to Wheeling is
as follows:
Every day little more of the in
ner history of the late senatorial
fight creeps out, and every addi-
tional bit that is learned, shows more
conclusively how effectually A. B.
White out-generaled not only the
Democrats, but the anti-Scott Re-
pnblicans as well. 1t was done Dy
choking off speeches at the caucus.
The Golf Republicans had everything
ready for an oratorical outburst, the
purpose of which was to cause a
stampede for Golf. The speech for
Golf was to have been made by Sena-
tor Richard E. Fast, who is one well
fitted for such a purpose. Senator
Fast had his speech ready, and it
undoubtedly would have accom-
plished it's purpose, but the willy
White OWNED what would happen
IL any speeches were made, and by
a bare majority got his motion
through barring them
But even after the caucus nomi
nation was made the anti-Scott men
were ready to knife their candidate.
1t was prearranged that Haptonstall
should vote for Golf and Hunt for
Blizzard, thus creating deadlock
which they could prolong until the
length Of time afforded them rea-
sonable excuse to break from Scott;
and vote for either Golf or Blizzard.
Failing to elect either of these Stur-
giss would have been chosen as the
man to defeat Scott and several
Democrats would have voted for the
Morgantown lawyer. Hunt, however,
killed the scheme. The anti Scott
people had no idea he was going to
break from Blizzard. When the
joint assembly roll was being called,
Haptonstall asked Hunt if he were
going to vote for Blizzard. Hunt
said he would if Haptonstall would
vote for Golf. Haptonstall did so,
but as is well known Hunt fell into
line for Scott. 1t was sad surprise
for the anti-Scott people.

and they are now raising bonus to

peDse of the removal. The officials OF
the plant were in this place and Fair

ton than they could from either OF the
other towns in this section. We are

THEY ARE HERE.
Committee From The Legisla-
ture is in Town to
Investigate.

They Will Take Good Square Look n
Every Thing About The University
A Reception to be Given ii Theil
Honor o-night--Several OF The
Members Are Well Known Here-Ths
Founder Of The Experiment Station
Among The Number-They Will be
Well Treated While With us.
From Thursdays Daily.
The legislative committee appointed
to visit the University came in two
delegations and are now getting rest
ed up from the trip preparatory to
taking in everything about the town
and the University. They left
Charleston on Wednesday morning
and have had very tiresome trip.
DIR. Raymond who has been in
Charleston for some time accompanied
the two who came in this morning
They were Senator Pierson and Dele
gate Millender. Senator Pierson is
one of the two celebrated swar sena-
torsr about whom there has been so
much discussion all over the state In
the past few months. However he is
still member of the legislature and
will remain so as long as the Senate
stands as it does now.
The other three members arrived la
the afternoon. They were Senator
Dotson OF Wood county and Delegates
Oldfield of Mcdowell and Bennett of
Cabell. Major Bennett was formerly
a member of the board OF regents OF
the University and it is due to his
efforts more than to any other one
man that the Experiment Station was
established here. Many Morgantown
people know him and they will take
pains to make his stay as pleasant as
possible while he Is here.
Mr.. Oldfeld is a college man and
one OF the leaders of his party in the
state. He would have been the leader
on the floor during the present session
but others were more greedy and he
was left in the scramble. He is a
newspaper man and very public
spirited citizen.
All the members of the investiga-
ting committee are above the average
of the members of the legislature and
since the present state law making as
sembly is composed OF the finest set Of
men that have been sent to Charleston
for some time it will be seen that the
visitors are very influential and prom
inent people.
They will be entertained at DIR. and
Mrs. Raymonds tonight and they viii
then meet the members of the faculty
They will remain here for several days
but 1t cannot be told just how long
they will be here. They will fully
satisfy themselves about the institu-
tion before they leave and every facil
twill be given them 10 order to
have them understand what is being
done here by the University and those

FATAL ROW.
Trad Mcclure shoots his brother
Frank several times

Family Fight the beginning OF the
Trouble-Frank was Fighting Scott
When Trad began to shoot-Tliree
Balls strike his Brother-Injured
man still alive-Liquor plays a prem
inent part In the drama-People are
well known in this county.
A shooting ARRAY took place on
Thursday near Taylortown and be
tween that place and Davistown.
Trad Mcclure shot his brother Frank
several times with revolver and the
latter may not recover The shoot
ing was the result of row between
the members of the family which had
broken out several times and which
seemed to be aggravated with each
outbreak.
The brothers who are concerned
in the scrape are of bad reputation
and the people at Mt. Morris who
gave us the information state that
the shooting was not much more
than was expected.
1t seems that Frank and Scott
were quarreling and finally came to
blows. Frank was getting the bet
ter of Scott when Trad came on the
scene and as soon as he got in the
room commenced firing. Frank be-
gan to get out Of the way and was
struck three times.
The first shot took effect in his
back and made the most dangerous
wound. Another was received in the
breast and another struck the
shoulder and made scratch on the
nose in its flight
DR. Knots was called at once and
be extracted the ball from the back
while the one in the breast had not
been located and was still in his
body. Frank was living at the last
accounts but was expected to die
at any moment
There was very little excitement
over the affair and at Mount Morris
it was not known that Frank had
been arrested even. However as
soon as the facts are reported to the
proper authorities he will be taken
into custody.
The boys interested are sons of
John Wesley Mcclure and are we'll
known in this county. They live
across the line in Greene county. 1t
is said that they had been drinking
rather freely before the fatal row
took place but this cannot confirmed.
A DAvlsTowN ACCOUNT.
At two-thirty, after the above ac-
count was in type Mr.. E. j. Donley,
of Davistown, was located and he
gave US over The phone the story OF
the shooting as it is known on the
spot.
He stated that the row which
started the shooting began between
Trad and Scott over sled ride and
about the place where they were to
go. While they we're quarreling
Frank came in and attempted to join
the mix up. Trad drew a gun and
shot him. This shot grazed the
breast and went out OF the shoulder.
Frank clinched him and Trad shot
him in the back by reaching around
the body. This ball struck a rib
and glanced in toward the spine
where it still remains 40 the doctor
lie afraid to attempt to remove it.
Had it not glanced Frank would
have received it in his heart and
died instantly.
The doctor does not think that he
can recover.
