GATHERING.
Men Are Beginning to Come In
For Practice.
Football Practice win Begin on Mon
day-Coach Engaged for the Season
Pine Team is Now Assured What
the Parkersburg People Want They
Are Hustling For Games There.

are HustliiS Tor Udnits lHtTes
The football men have begun to
come in. There are several of the
lesserlights here ready to begin
practice and more of them are ex-
pected at the beginning of the week
The practice will begin ON Monday
and will be kept up hard until
school opens. The coach will be
Dewey who is said to be a crack
player and fine coach. He will
take charge of the work and will
get everything out of the men that
is possible.
The indications are that the team
will be much stronger this year than
it has ever been. With Yeager and
New horter back of the line there
are two more fine men to come in
They are new players here but have
had a lot of experience. At every
point the team will be strengthened
until it is hoped to have it one of
the best in this section.
Interest is being taken in the team
over the state and the following will
show that the Parkersburg people
are expecting great things of it. 1t
is from the State Journal:
The people of this city will have
the opportunity to see one big game
Of football this year if they make
the trip to Marietta to witness it..
The teams of the West Virginia
University and Marietta College will
play there on Oct. %, the only game
that has so far been scheduled by
the two teams.
There is no doubt that a second
game may be arranged between
these two hereditary adversaries.
They have not been content with a
single game in season since they
began the battles with each other
some years ago. Then it behooves
the lovers of the game in this city
to make some inducement to have a
second game played here.
The schedule OF the University
football games has not been entirely
completed. There are number of
open dates The effort has already
been made to have game at this
place with the Athens college to be
played at this place, but so far
there has been no final arrangement
decided upon. These teams played
here last year and there was an i'm
mense crowd of strangers attracted
to the contest.
The University team management
has also been trying to have its
game with Cincinnati University
played here The boys from the
Morgan town school always like to
play here, as they are always sure of
crowd and there is always dis
tinct loyalty to the home school evil
dent here. 1t might be good plan
for the local football enthusiasts to
do all that can be done to assist in
having all or part of these three
undecided games played here. Now
is the time to go to work in the mat

the Marion Machine Works.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Sept. 23.-Bur-
glars entered the office Of the Mar
ion Machine Works, last night, by
prying the door off its hinges with a
crowbar. The safe was blown open
and completely demolished. The
safe contained no money. but some
checks and valuable papers were
found on the floor. The burglars
evidently used dynamite, as the
windows were broken, and the office
furniture complete wreck.

MAKE your arrangements to get
banners and everything else in the

More Gold than PAPER

The Treasury Department has begur
preparations for meeting the demand
for paper money which always comes
with the autumn, While the available
paper money in the Treasury amounts
to only S2o, ,ooo, 900, it is thought that a
considerable demand for notes of small
denominations may be met by eXchang
ing one form OF bills for another. Bank
notes in large amounts are kept in stock,
as the limit on possible issues does not
restrict their preparation.
II there should be any difficulty IN
supplying the autumn demands for small
notes and silver dollars it will not be
chargeable to the arrangements made
by the Treasury, but TO the narrow
margin OF surplus paper currency
allowed by law. On May this margin
was reduced to S17, 2o5,745, and it has
increased but slightly since then.
The Treasury IS now fairly bursting
with gold and will compel all banks to
pay bankers rates Tor currency. Nearly
half the gold lost by the payment for the
Philippines aas been recovered. About
$1,000 600 a day in gold was received
into the Treasury on several days last
week,

wits OF Presidenta

Several members OF the local bar have
been engaged recently IN systematic
investigation OF the records Of the
Register Of Wills for the District OF
Columbia. Their research has brought
to light a number Of very remarkable
documents and many testaments written
by promi nent Government officials.
In the Registers Office are the original
or copies Of wills executed b six OF the
Presldents-Was' ing ton, Monroe. Mad
ison, John Quincy Adams, Andrew
Jackson, and Franklin Pierce. That of
Monroe, which is the only original OF
the half ozen, was made in New York
and would have been probated there
except that the testatOr's only property
was a grant from Congress. This claim
was the single credit account mentioned
in the will with which the Presidents
son IN law, Samuel L. Gouverneur, was
to pay the dead mans debts.
Poverty is also indicated in the will
of cold Hickory" "Andrew Jackson,
Senior" as he styles himself. The hero
OF New Orleans was ruined, according
20 his will, by the debts OF his well
beloved nephew and adopted son.
Andrew Jackson. Jr. Madison left his
house in Washington and other holdings
ofrealty to Dolly Madison and her .irs.
With the exception OF Washington.

VIII Not Issue Call.

The Virginia Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, at a special meeting,
refused to order a convention for the
nomination Of United States Senator.
The vote was 81 to II, and II all fifty
members of the committee had been
present or represented by proxy, it
would probably have been SO 10 II,
The committee by practically the same
majority refused to call upon the local
committees TO hold primaries in which
preferences for Senatorial candidates
may be expressed. This vote was 81 to
10. Therefore, if primaries are held,
the Senatorial Reform League must
induce the local authorities to call them,
and it is quite certain that this cannot be
done in many counties.
The result Of the meeting was a com.
plete victory for Senator Martin. His
friends we're in absolute control of the
committee, and dictated its action.
They had little to say, but had a strong
hand when 1t came to voting.

Puts His war Paint On.

u. II. Painter, manager Of the Lafay.
ette Square Theatre, announces that his
theatre has severed all connections
with the theatrical syndicate, and will
hereafter be run on an independent
booking plan. With this end in view,
Cornelius Gardiner, a former Washing
ton newspaper man, who was connected
with Frank Daniels company last
season, has been appointed New York
booking agent, and has established an
Office in the Knickerbocker Theatre
building. A circular setting forth
strongly the advantages of the Lafayette
Square Theatre is beng sent to all the
managers of travelling attractions, and
Dy beginning the fight early Mr.. Gardiner
hopes to be able to book goodly list Of
attractions for next season. The most
important part Of the new programme
to the public is the announcement that
instead Of asking sI,so scale for every
thing that comes along, the Lafayette
will hereafter make the prices to accord
with the attraction, and a show that is
worth only 81 will be so rated,
Concerning his reasons for severing
from the syndicate, which has practically
had complete control of the bookings of
the Lafayette since the house was built,
Mr.. Painter said:
"If it was fair field there would be no
trou' lie; but you know that there has not
been fair field lately, and that popular
favor don't count, but the ipse dlxit OF
one man in New York City, who claims
the right to do what he pleases and
recognizes nothing but his own interests,
1t remains to be considered if there is
any protection from injustice when
ordered by him"

Dewey Declines.

Admiral Dewey will not accept the
home which the American people are
preparing to present him. This comes
fran the admiral himself, who cabled a
friend in this city that he must decline
to accept 1t, but hat if fund was raised
for that purpose, he would take the
money snd invest it in home for sick
and disabled sailors
1t is understood that there will be an
effort to make the fund as large as
possible, and that the committee will
willingly accede to the Admiral's wishes
and permit him to buy and furnish
home for sailors. There is no question
that Washington will be selected as the
site for the home.

The Spanish Minister at Washington,
the Duke Of ARGOS, has cabled that the
United States government admits It's
obligation and is proceeding to secure
the liberation of the Spanish prisoners
in the Philippine Islands, according to
the peace treaty, and while so doing
grants Spain the privilege oi indepen
dent action in the same work, including
ransoming the prisoners. OF these
there are probably in the neighborhood
OF 1000. All are military or religious
prisoners, the proportion ofiriars. how.

Charles Francis Adams was his executor
and by the terms of his fathers will
held in trust for Mary Louisa A dams, a
granddaughter of the testator, several
houses on F street, store and house on
Pennsylvania avenue, an estate known
as columbia Mills" and whole block
in the northern part of the city.
Only one chief justice filed letters
testamentary in the District--Salmon P.
Chase. Justice Chase's will is chiefly
noteworthy tor the fact that, although
he intended to devise all his real estate
the paper is Witnessed by only two per-
sons, instead of three, as the law
requires,
Caleb Swan, first paymaster general
OF the army, made his will in 1907 and
as a sort of preamble outlined his whole
military history Toward the close he
asks that his children "may be taken
care of by Phil B. Key, Francis S. Kew,
or Dr. John Weems, and effectually
protected against all and every sort Of
injustice and oppression attempted or
contemplated to be practiced upon or
toward them by wicked and designing
men or women, or any individual of
either OF the sexes"

AS indicated by the records, the
history of the Office of Register of Wills
is full Of interest. The office came into
exis tence with the creation of the Dis
trict. In 1870 it was enacted that one
or the judges OF the District Supreme
Court should hold a special term for
probate busine SIS, and that enactment
brought to a close the existence Of one
ol the queerest courts in the country. 1t

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that IS Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
me deal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
dong Its work. The propTietors have
so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure.

IN a BAD pREDiCAAIENr.

Yesterday morning four ladies. two
children and a gentleman. who was
driving. WAS in Il wagon with their
trunks. on their way to catch the
steamer Mobjack for Mathews county
They were Il little late. and were driv-
ing fast. When the wagon passed the
corner Of High and Dinwiddle streets;
one of the trunks slipped out, fell on
the ground and bursted open. All the
contents were scattered around loose
and careless. The lady jumped out,
grabbed the clothing up i'll her arms
and rammed them back in the trunk
in any Kind of style, and then they
proceeded on their journey.
The scribe cannot say whether they
caught the steamer or not, but they
certainly desired - do SO. especially
after so much trouble and worry.
The words that were said when the
trunk fell would not suit to be placed
inside the Lords prayer.
