THERE is d crowd of small lads that their parents allow to roam the streets ofter night at their own sweet will. These boys have become a public nuis- ance, and if their do not take them in hand, the town authorities should do so. Mischief is perhaps not serious crime. qut when that mischief 'partakes the nature the nature of viclousness, it is time to call d halt. Only q few nights ago several of the plank of Court Street sidewalk were wilfully torn up and thrown from the walk, and it is report ed that it least two pedestrians were hurt, not severely however A good sound thrashing is what such boys re- require, when talking to them is of no avail, which might be the means of sav- ing, at least, some of them from the penitentiary. Parents keep your boys at home after night and it will bring it's own reward.

 am very pleased 10 state that since took the agency of Chamber lains medicines the sale has been very large, especially the Cough Remedy. In two years 1 have sold more of this particular remedy than of all other makes for the previous five years. As to its efficacy, have been informed by scores of persons of the good results they have received from it. and know its value from the use of it in my own household. It is so pleasant to take thay we have to place the bottle beyond the reach of the children.

THE only tradesman who does not ap preciate the value of advertising is the tradesman who gives no attention the subject. And it stands to reason that he who gives no consideration to the subject, is the one who fails to take in- to consideration all the possibilities of his business. This is evidenced by the fact that the only successful merchants are the ones who utilize all their ad- vertising possibilities on every occa- sion.
 Whenever a merchant declines to listen to an advertising proposition, it be set down as an indubltable fact that he is either bullheaded or lacking in business acumen.
 It has been demonstrated that those who have the greatest faith in adver- Using are those whe score the greatest successes; while, on the other hand. there have been many fortunes lost by an obstinate refusal to believe in print er's ink.

Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is sure indication Of the .ap- proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Cough remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, even after the croup has appeared, it will prevent the attack. Many mothers who have chil- dren who are subject to croup always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to to take.

A Couple of new Concerns to do
Business Here.

Acme Publishing Company is One Of
Them Who the Inc0rpOrat0rs
are-Other Company is Composed of
Oil Men who Will go After the Grease

Them Known Here.
Charters have been issued to two
Morgantown corporations recently
They are the Acme Publishing Com
pany of Morgantown, for the pur
poses of doing a general printing,
binding and publishing business.
The subscribed capital stock is $I0,
900 of which $4,000 has been paid
up. 1t is held by H. L Swisher, F.
j. Brock and Fl. A. Christie, of Nor
gantown; c. L. Michael. of Fair
mont and S. H. Bowman, of Philppi.
The other one is the Penn Oil
Company, of Morgantown, with a
subscribed capital of $4,000, ten
per cent. of which has been paid up,
and an authorized capital of $780,
000 The stockholders are A. l..
Lowrie, W. c. Lowrie and c. W.
Baker, of Sewickley, Pa; A. S.
Guthrie. of Toronto, o.; and L. ID.
Rolf, of Mcdonald, Pa.
The latter will enter the oil fields
of the county and neighboring coun-
ties and develop them. Mr.. A. l..
Lowrie is well known in Morgan
town and has MANY friends here. All
of the gentlemen named are repre-
sentative business men and they
mean business.
This Company together with the
Globe Oil Company and the others
that have been operating here for a
long time will make things hum in
this vicinity. The territory is prov
ing to be about the best in the state
and the returns for the investors are
very tempting.
The bigs wells recently struck in
Battelle district are bringing new
operators in droves and they will
soon be in the hunt for others of
equal size. The operations can now
90 on without the hindrance from
bad roads that has been holding
them back all winter and the coming
summer will witness a great deal OF
drilling in this section.

DIR. LEECH'S LECTURE,
What the Moundsville Echo says-His
Address up There.

The Reverend S. V Leech, d. D.,
OF Morgantown, very completely
demonstrated to his hearers at the
Methodist church last night that he
has devoured all that is good in lit
erature; that he has read more books
than many people ever saw, and re-
members all that is worth remem-
bering in them. The title was "Web-
ster, Irving and Mrs. Browning as
Models for Students" but before
the last words of the peroration were
uttered, the audience had listened
to the biographies of almost every
man and woman whose names are
enrolled in the galleries of fame, and
to generous quantities of religious
and matrimonial views thrown in for
good measure. To a listener it
seemed that Webster was particu
larized because of his ceaseless la
bors for knowledge and because the
lecturer while boy had seen him;
Irving, because he was the first
American man of letters to be re
cognized across the water; and Mrs.
Browning, because she did not rush
into matrimony, but waited until she
was thirtyseven
After listening to recital of al
the people whoever made mark in
the world. to the narratives of con
quests won only after a lifetime OF
labor. and in the next moment tc
men who in their youth won theil
honors, one is impressed that the
one word Success" would have been
the proper title of the lecture. The
Doctor did not present single new
thought, but he left the old truths
that there is no permanent reward
without great labor, and that it is
folly to rush into matrimony-deep-
" impressed upon the audience.

The Sunday Lecture.

Professor Armstrong lectured yes
terday afternoon on tOld Tesla nent
Apocrypha 1t was the third in a
course of lectures he is delivering TO
the college Y. M. c. A; interest in
them is, however, by no means con-
fined to that organization and the an-
dience that listened to the lecture
yesterday was representative OF the
learning and culture, which are SO
often met with among the citizens of
Morgantown. The numerous compli-
mentary remarks heard at the close of
the lecture, indicated the high regard
in which Professor Armstrong; pub
lie talks are justly held. His lectures
always give evidence of careful prepa-
ration and are based on wide reading
and reliable scholarship; they never
fail to show that the lecturer is per-
fectly familiar with bis subject. A
public lecture by Professor Armstrong
means thoughtful paper, written
with facile pen and read with a
splendid voice.
The introduction discussed the
three extant manuscripts of the apoc-
rypha and advanced some of the rea-
sons why the churches differ in regard
to the SO called apocryphal books.
The apocrypha are accepted as canon
ical by many churches and indeed
there is much in them to merit such
acceptance; there is profound wisdom;
there is strict discipline; there is NOR
al teaching: there are systems of gov
ernment: there are theories Of creation
and doctrines of immortality; there
are accounts of great heroism and
/ faithful love
/ LII the course Of his talk the lectur-
er spoke in general terms of the twelve
books composing the apocrypha and
! showed their relation to other parts
of the Old Testament; from these
twelve he selected five of the more
important books and discussed them
at some length, the five being Eccle-
siast, Judith, Bel and the Dragon,
Susanna and Tobit. The stories of
the different books were told in an
interesting way and the fundamental
ideas of them were made plain.

Fairmont came down in the morn
ing and In the afternoon they went
down on Seneca and took the game
away from them. This was due to
the lead they got before Seneca awak-
ened to the fact that there was con-
test on. Four runs in the first inning
and three in the second were made.
After this only five runs were made
by the visitors.
Seneca did not make run until the
sixth when they took a terrible brace
making eight runs and only allowing
Fairmont to make one more bringing
them up to twelve. Fairmont was
loaded with players from all over
Marion county and Seneca was weak
ened by the absence OF several players.
A return game will be played on
Decoration Day at Fairmont and the
result will be very different. Seneca
is scheduled to meet the first Univer-
sity team on Saturday when the lat
ter will be home from the Ohio trip.
