General Shafter Will Fire Salute II
Honor of the Naval Hero.

There is no longer any doubt of the
success of the Dewey Day celebration on
May l, which is being arranged under the
auspices of the Pacific Coast Association
of the Native Sons of Vermont. In fact
there has never been any doubt of its
success, but 1t was desired that a salute
in honor of the hero of the battle OF Ma
Mia Bay should be fired by a battery of
Uncle Sans artillery stationed at this
post, and it was not until yesterday that
the projectors of the affair were in
formed that this feature of the pro-
gramme could be carried out.
Just before Major-G General Shafter de-
parted for the East Judge Belcher, presi-
dent of the Vermont Association, ad-
dressed a note to him requesting that the
salute be fired. He received the follow
ing answer:

Randall Notes and Comment.

RANDALL, Nov. 21.-Mr. Irving Gain
or, who is teaching the Usage school,
went home last Saturday to see his
mother. His brother Truman went to
see-somebody' sister.
The schools in this vicinity are pro-
crossing finely SO far.
Lemley Morris, wife and sister Mary
paid visit to D. Wiedman's Saturday
evening. They brought their musical
instruments and had musicale.
d. Wiedman has in addition to his
fine old violins four other musical in
strument one of which is a new instru-
ment in America, but is used in Euro
pean orch6stras
The question debated last Friday night
at the Stony Point literary was IRE
solved, That the United States is not
justified in acquiring lands beyond the
seas" To affirm, Truman Gainor and
John Coda. To deny, w. w. Smith and
Ed Reed. The affirmative got the de-
cision.
Well the stars did not fall as predicted
last week. If our astronomers would
read and study their bibles they would
have known better. There was but one
time for the stars (meteors) to fall in all
parts of the world and that was the 18th
of November, 1888. That was fulfill
ment of prophecy in the Bible. SAYS
Mathew, Mark and Luke: "The sun
shall be darkened and the moon shall
not give its light, the stars shall fall to

just at the present time there is
a large number of employees of the
Baltimore Il Ohio company off duty
serving time," and among the lot
are very prominent men. In the
first place a number of passenger
conductors were layed off for a short
time to be given hearing and I'M
til thorough investigation could be
made. This has been completed and
the friends of the conductors will
be glad to know that no serious
offenses were found and that all will
be restored to their old places on
the road. In very few instances
cases of slight neglect were discov-
cred, which were accounted for by
heavy traffic and these duties being
laid aside in case of packed Trains.
No cases of dishonesty we're found.
A large number of other employees
have been laid off for the past few
days, being charged with participat-
ing in fight at McMechen saloon
last week. Upon investigation it
was found that very few of the men
accused were at McMechen that
particular evening and that the
larger number were on duty at the
time, some being in Grafton

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.
Man Sentenced to Penitentiary For
Almost Forgotten Crime.

Henry V. Cunningham was tried
at the present term Of the Pendleton
circuit court for robbery that he
committed sixteen years ago and
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary as result of the trial
which has attracted wide attention
owing to the lapse of time that has
taken place since the crime was
committed. At the time that the
crime was committed Joshua Day
was robbed of $l,525 one night while
he slept. The thief entered the house
and carried away his trousers which
contained the money.
Subsequent events occurring dur
ing the lapse of years fastened the
robbery on Cunningham and after
suspicion had been directed towards
him he was arrested and as result
of the trial was sentenced as stated
above. In the meanwhile he had
moved several times and had accum-
ulated considerable fortune which
had for Its base the money that he
had stolen from his neighbor while
The latter slumbered and slept. 1t
believed that this is the longest
time on record in the state elapsing
between the commission of an of
Tense of this kind and the punish
ment for it.
Clay Day of the University law
class is son of the man who was
robbed.
Another trial took place at the
same term of court that is quite in
teresting. A worshipper at one OF
the chuches in Pendleton sang too
loud for some of the others and they
indicted him for disturbing religious
worship. At the trial he was cleared
of any-intentional wrong doing and
told to go and sing no more. A sim
liar ruling around here might do a
great deal of greatly needed good.

A wise neighbor who observes
things closely and has accumulated
a goodly stock of wisdom addresses
himself to young men as follows:
Young man there is one thing you
cannot do. You can't make success
in life unless you work. Better men
than you have tried it and failed.
You can't loaf around the street cor
ners and saloons, tell fool stories,
and sponge on some one else without
making failure in life. You must
learn good trade or get into some
honest business. If you don't you
will be chronic loafer, despised by
all, producing nothing, simply max
yourself burden on your parents
or on the state There is no place
in the world to-day for loafers. The
ripe fruit is all at the top of the tree.
You must climb it. If you wait for
it you will never get it. Smarter
men jump up and pluck it all. Move.
Do something, no matter how small.
1t will be starter Help yourself
and others will help you. There is
no royal path to success. Toll, grit,
endurance, these are the requisites.
Wake up and see what we can do.

Important Decision.

Last year while Lieut.. Vance, oil
the Vance Hardware Co.. of Clarks
burg, was in the LIST W. Va, Vols,
some of his creditors became impa-
tient, and treating him as a non res
ident sued out attachments against
his property. When these attach
ments came up for hearing, Mr..
Vance moved to quaeh them because
he was not a non resident, under the
law, and that the attachments were
improperly issued. Judge John w.
Mason, of this place, who was sit
ting as special Judge, held that a
soldier in the Volunteer army, al
though out Of the State, was not q
non resident and quashed the at
tachments. An appeal was taken
from his decision to the Supreme
Court and the last week this Court
sustained Judge Mason's decision.

For several months rumors have
been circulated regarding the purchase
Of the Monongahela River Railroad by
the Baltimore and Ohio Company.
The last one, given on good authority
Is that the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany will assume control OF the Mon
ongahela River road January l., 1900,
and that after that time through
trains will be run from Clarksburg to

MoRGANTOwN AND KINGwooD X. r..
Hon. Geo. C. Sturgiss was in town
last Friday night, and while here he
had occasion to speak to journal re-
porter Of the prospects and success Of
the Morgantown and Kingwood rail-
road. He stated that the company
had four miles of track laid and ten
miles OF grading done, on which they
expect to be able to finish laying the
track before the weather got so bad
they could no longer do that kind Of
work and that during the winter they
would ballast that up. In the spring
he said, that it was the intention of
the company to push the road right
on to Kingwood. Considering the
scarcity of hands, and the difficulty
in getting steel rails and crossties, the
company has made remarkable prog
ress to get as much work done as
they have in the past four and one
half months.
When asked as to the truthfulness
of the report that the road would not
be built to Kingwood, but instead,
down Three-fork, he said there was
no doubt but that the road would be
completed to Kingwood during the
summer of 1900, and that they had
never contemplated changing the
route OF the Morgantown and King
wood road to down Three fork, but
that there would be another company
organized for the purpose of construct
ing road through to the B. & o. at
Hardman's switch. --Kingwood Jour

There is no comparison between
former editions, and this splendid
Almanac for 1900, now ready. Print
ed In beautiful colors, on much finer
paper, its 1876 pages are packed with
invaluable information on storms, as
tronomy and meteorology. It's illus
trated with nearly 200 finest half
tones and other engravings. This
superb book would sell anywhere for
fifty cents, but 1t costs only 25c a
copy, and every subscriber to Rev. Irl
r. Hicks now famous paper, Word
and Works, at $1.00 year. receives
this elegant Almanac as premium.
Word and Work is a recognized leader
among the best family and scientific
journals, while nothing of it's kind
can compare with the Hicks Almanac.
One dollar year is nominal price
for such unique and useful publica-
tions. Professor Hicks has Justly,
and OF necessity, withdrawn his storm
and weather forecasts from all free
almanacs, having generously given
his time and labor free for nearly
twenty years.

Trouble Started over Scrap Over
Resolutions Condemning Police Force
They had Arrested Number Of the
Class ON Suspicion-Two SITS Of Of
ficers now Serving.
The law class now has two sets
of officers each of which claims 20
he the only genuine simon pure of
ficers. The row has assumed such
serious pr8po tions that the law fac
ulty sill have to decide which set
of the warning factions is entitled
to the robes and perquisites OF the
offices. The trouble started over
some resolutions Of censure that
were introduced into the class on
account Of the arrest on suspicion of
Rev King a member Of the class.
The Morgantown police had a pic
ture and description OF man named
Spencer who had escaped from the
Minnesota state prison and they
thought that King resembled in some
measure the man who was wanted
and for whose apprehension reward
of fifty dollars had been offered.
After talking it over they arrested
the man who was not found to tally
with all of the parts OF the description
although according TO the officers he
did fall under some of them. King
says that he came up to none OF them.
Resolutions were introduced by his
friends condeming the police. These
started a row and the resolutions were
voted down.
Part Of the class then left and an
election was held. j. G. Coleman and
J. +. Weaver were elected President
and Vice President respectively. On
