Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald is back;
Old Nat, the governor,
Who fell off the track
For the sake of the nation
And consideration.
Did you hear him swipe Doughvenor?
That's what Fitz called him;
That's what Nat bawled him.
Fitz high on stump
Was beautiful trump
That took every trick
In way that was sslick.
Did his wives all appear?
Perhaps by next year
He'll fetch the whole harem,
Great Scott, how he'll scare 'em
And then double dare 'em
To bring on their law,
And he'll show 'em the paw
or our mighty Utah.

COUNCIL MEETS.
They Hear Very Warm Petit
ton About The Dump.

Tive Hundred citizens send in a Red
Hot Paper-It Is Presented by /. q.
LaZZelle Who Makes Pew remarks
To The Council rag Chewing
without any Final action Street
Paving Not Taken ap-Sweeny Comes
In on the Morning Train.
Council meeting on Monday night
was about the juieiest from the stand
point of the galleries that has been
held for a long time. The action of
the body had stirred up the people of
not only the upper end of town but all
over the town. They had drawn up
long petition in which they stated
something
They set forth the fact that they
did not want any dump created. That
the dump was not TO be on the land
belonging to the Presbyterians and
that the latter had no right to grant
any such permission as they had pro-
posed to grant. They also stated that
it was not necessary TO have any place
to dump nice articles but that what
was wanted was place to put things
that were Objectionable. In the con
clusion they stated that in case the
petition was not granted they would
take the proper legal steps to obtain
redress.
The paper was signed by two hun
dred people and contained besides the
names OF every physician in town, the
members of the board of health re-
siding in town and the judge of the
circuit court. With all this array OPP
posed to the move the opponents felt
that they had case that could not be
broken down.
The matter was presented TO the
council by l. G. Lazzelle and he gave
1T to them in the strongest light pos
sible. There was great deal OF dis
cussion over the matter but the eoun-
Gil did not take any final action in the
premises. They will finally decide on
next Monday when another very In
teresting time is expected.
MThey did nothing in regard to paw
| ing. The contracts have not been
properly signed and returned yet.
This is said by a member of the firm
of Sweeny and Houston to be due to
the absence Of Mr. Sweeny 1t Is
stated that as soon as he returns it
will be attended to. This was sew
eral days ago and nothing has as yet
been heard of it.
Another thing that is alleged to
have been holding them back is the
! fact that the trust company who has
been going their security does not do
business in this state and they will
| have to hunt another one.
| Mr.. Sweeney came in on the noon
train and he will meet with the mayor
and council this afternoon and to-
night and they will doubtless arrange
all the details for the preliminary work.
The work viii no doubt begin soon.
The contractors have expressed them
selves as in hurry to begin the work
and we are certain that everyone in
the town is anxious to see the brick
begin to move. We hope that there
may be no further delay from any
cause whatever.

Col. r. Il. Fast, professor at the
West Virginia University, has been
appointed on the governors staff and
commissioned commandant of the
University cadets. Col. Fast has
been acting as commandment since May
1898, when the regular army officer,

Department stated no regular army
officers could be spared at the present
time from the army and it will prob

ORDERED DISCHARGED.
E. c. Jennewine will Soon be
Out of the Army.

Beth Jennewine OF this County-Dis-
charge Granted ON Account Of His
age-Judge Hngans Gets up The Pa
pers-Senator Elkins Carries II
Througt-Will Seen be Home--Oth
ers Lett From This County.
T.. G. Jennewine who is member
OF the Tenth Regiment Pennsylvania
volunteers is to be discharged from
the service at once and sent home.to
his parents in this county. They
are Mr. and Mrs. Beth Jennewine,
Of Laurel Works They have lost
one son at Manila and they do not
want To lose the other one,
The notification OF the granting OF
the discharge of the young man was
received here on Monday night by
Judge Hagaus who had forwarded
the papers to the Secretary Of War
through Senator Elkins. The Sena
tor had busted himself with the task
Of obtaining the discharge and 1t
was obtained in less than week
from the time that the application
had been sent in. 1t was forwarded
on last Tuesday and the discharge
was at once obtained
When the matter was referred to
the War Department in the first
place the Adjotant General had
stated that the plans for the dis
charge of all volunteers in the Phil
ippines had been about matured and
that that it would soon take place.
The parents were told that in case
the young man was discharged he
would lose by it as all the men who
remained in the service would get two
months extra pay when they came
out Of the army.
They were given the option OF hav-
ing him out at once or waiting and
were told that he would likely get
home one way as quickly as the other.
They stated that they wanted him at
ouee and did not care whether or not
there was any money to be gained by
remaining in the service.
Their wishes were acceded to and
his discharge was at once made out.
He was less than twenty years old
and has made very good record in
the regiment since he has been at the
front. He may be expected home
about the last Of May.
This leaves but three Monongalia
boys at Manila, two in the volunteers
aud one in the regulars. These are d
son of Elihu Ridgeway, William M
Epglehardt who was reported TO have
been from Preston county but who
really lives on this side Of the line and
John Holt member Of the regular
army. Englehardt has been wounded
but the wound is not serious one.
Jennewine is the only son OF Beth
and his wife and the fact that he was
so young when he enlisted without the
consent OF his parents were the
grounds on which he was discharged.
Judge Hagans prepared the papers
and forwarded them to Washington.
