LOVED HIS PAPER.
A story Of the late Joseph Medill Of the
Chicago Tribune.

1t is told that within ten minutes
before he breathed his last, Joseph
Medill turned to DIR. Sarkesian, his
attendant physician AMI said: My last
words shall be, What is the news?
And so they were. He asked to have
the morning papers read to him evin-
cling the liveliest interest in current
news, especially the foreign dispatches
relating to affairs in the Philippines.
The habit of half century was not
to be relaxed in the presence of death.
Years and feeble health had not dull
ed in single degree that absorbing
eagerness to know all that was going
on in this busy world up to the hour
for closing the last forms.
1t was no daily curiosity hardened
into habit that caused Mr.. Medill
thus to wish to know the latest news
of the universe. He scanned it and
absorbed it for the omnivorous that
made him power in his profession.
Everything he read, saw or learned
was used Immediately or stored away
for future use in the columns of I'll e
Chicago Tribune. He never was u 0
far from the Office not TO employ b S
hours and his faithful shears on prin :
ed books, magazines or newspapers o
make s'copy" and marked it with h )
imperative Must for the pages Of the
journal to which he was devoted.
How great was Mr. Medill's deye-
tion to the Tribune may be judged ly
a single incident that happened IN
Chicago a few years ago. AS is wei
known Mr.. Medill's health has int =
fered with his constant presence at the
Tribune Office for several years. II
was currently rumored that he had
grown weary over the burden Of his
editorship and was prepared to sell
| his interest, settle his affairs In Chica-
go and retire to the gentler climate OF
Southern California.
Negotiations were accordingly open
ed with Mr. Medill by gentleman
DESTROYS OF purchasing his interest in
the Tribune. Mr.. Medill entertained
| the proposition TO sell, but halted as
to the price, upon which matter oil
some $3.50, 900 separated the parties,
Finally they came to terms OF
figures not far from round 81, 600, 00C
for Mr.. Medill's controlling interest In
the Tribune.
Everything was in readiness to clost
the transaction and the cheque to bind
| it was in Mr.. Medill's hands.
But the touch of The cheque seemed
to cause an instant revulsion in the
aged editors feelings. He seemed K
realize that the Tribune was some
thing more to him than the cold dollars
he had set upon it. / can't do it, he
said take back your cheque; l CAM
part with the Tribune. You might
as well ask me to sell my child.
So the negotiations were broken of
and Mr.. Medill continued to be The
guiding spirit of the Chicago Tribune
until his death last week.

We do not wish to give away Re-
publican secrets, but Hon. Thos. E.
Davis, of Grafton, was in this place
this week circulating among his
many friends and after he left town
the general impression was that he
was candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor in 1900,
and we discovered that he had many
friends here who will help to crafty
his ambition. The ex-senator seems
hard to satisfy. Most people think
that 1900 will be a worse year for
the Republicans in West Virginia
than 1892 was. We like the Senator
and would dislike to see him again
led to the slaughter. Unless all
signs fail a Democrat will be elected
Governor of West Virginia in 1900.

He has been an invalid for ten years
past suffering from locomotor ataxia
caused by a fall on an icy pavement.
The remains will be inferred at I'm

Railroad Is Bucking the Government
Over Mail Contract in Preston county.

There is trouble on between the
government and the Kingwood and
Tunnelton railroad. The latter wants
more than five hundred dollars a year
for hauling the mail from Tunnelton
to Kingwood and back. The govern
ment thinks that the amount is suff1-
cient and that one thousand the sum
asked is too high.
Consequently it has asked for bids
and perhaps the mail will here after
be hauled over land between the two
places. The Argus warns its readers
to bid high or they will be left on the
scheme and the railroad may be allow
ed to have it at the figures they have
asked.

Mr.. wanamaker's Success.

A business man of Philadelphia
said the other day that Mr.. Wanna
makers profits from his Philadelphia
store last year were over $1,750, 900,
and that those from his New York es-
tablishment will run close to that
figure. The Saturday before Christ
mas the receipts in New York were
even greater than those in Philadel-
phia, and exceeded $500, 900. The
New York store has paid profit from
the very day it was opened, although
two firms which occupied the estab-
lishment since A. L. Stewards death
have failed. The reason of Mr.. Wan
amaker's great success, both in New
York and Philadelphia, is his skillful
and extensive advertising. 1t has
been his rule to confine his advertising
to newspapers and magazines, on
which he has spent annually more
than $300,000 in Philadelphia. The
advertising bills of his New York e';-
tablishment exceeded even that sutn
last year. New England Magazine.

Seriously Wounded.
Among those recently wounded
in the fighting at Manila is Ralph
Downs of Uniontown son of A. +
Downs. Ralph was shot in the thigh
and the dispatch states that he was
seriously hurt. He went with the
third batch of recruits to the Phil

The young man was native OF
Morgantown and left here when
quite young. Many of the people
about town will remember the fami
ly. They lived in the Rogers prop
evty on Price street. The Union
town News Standard states that he
was born at their town but they arc
very much mistaken about this mat
ter. Downs has several relatives
about town.

State Historical Society Wants to
Spread Out.


D. L. Kingsbury, assistant librarian of
the State Historical society, addressed
the Commercial club at the lunch hour
Yesterday on 1.-The Historical Society"
A visiting Englishman had said that
St Paul had two libraries-one in an attic
and the other in a cellar. That of the
historical society was open at all times
to the public. There were now LOCO read
ers where there were not 100 five years
ago.
The collection of titles numbered 62,-
446. Perhaps the most valuable collec-
tions were the bound newspapers of
which there were 1900. They were fire.
auently consulted and often used In the
courts. Money could not replace them.
The society had a complete file of di-
rectories and there were between 1000
and 1900 duplicates of public documents.
Mr. Kingsbury said that scrap books
we're kept containing important histor-
ical, biographical and other information
which was clipped from day to day from
the current newspapers. These were in
dexed and readily accessible to readers.
The state aid amounted to s6.000. but
