A Tale of the Virginia Border Before
the War, BY Mr.. &. ID. Hall.

Some weeks ago we had occasion
to anticipate the publication of the
novel written by West Virginian,
who has been leng absent from the
State, but who has never lost his in
terest in community where the
power and gracefulness of his pen
instructed the people of nearly a
generation ago says the Wheeling
Intelligencer. At that time, without
knowledge of the manuscript or the
slightest intimation of the motif or
scheme of the work, the Intelligen
Ger felt justified in predicting that
Mr.. Granville DAVIDSON Halls
Daughter OF the Elm would be a
composition of narrative and fiction
that would meet the realization of the
highest anticipations of his friends
andacquaintances The book is Just
from the press, and after examining
it's attractive pages, we are sure the
reading public will be edited and
entertained in perusing the volume.
Its power and recommendation to
public interest do not lie altogether
in the fact of the local atmosphere
that is impaired to the story told.
Nor do the historical facts around
which are woven the romantic tale
form the basis of it's chief merit, for
it is clever in plot, graceful in die
tion AND charming in style. The
characters who figure in it were real
people, and the love story that il
lumines the pages serves as foil to
the tragical lines. The scene of Mr..
Halls novel is in the valley OF the
upper Monongshela, connected with
Pittsburg, Clarksburg and Fair
mont Any polite interest that may
be inspired from acquaintance with
or friendship for Mr.. Hall will be
succeeded by a thorough enjoyment
in the reading Of the Daughter of
the Elm The book is now ON sale
at The Acme Book Store

Confidence In Advertising.

uJohn Wanamaker, who is proba-
bly, the largest daily Newspaper ad
vertiser in the world, ut one time
early in his career seriously thought
of making an assignment, having
put all his ready cash, into adver-
Using. The returns from his adver.
Using did not come in as promptly
as he had expected them to- credi
tors became uneasy and, after pay
ing his advertising bills, he found
himself practically penniless 1t
was at this period of his business
career, when despair as despera-
ton had almost crushed him. that
Mr.. Wanamaker went to the fas
nous New York merchant, A. T.
Stewart, for help and advice He
announced frankly that he wanted
to make an assignment then and
there. Mr.. Stewart listened to the
story of his heavy expenditures in
advertising and answered him with
simply one word: "Wait." After
some further encouragement, Mr.
Wanamaker returned home and
within short period the money
spent in advertising began to pro-
duce profitable results. After this
incident he went into advertising
heavier than ever and his financial
downfall was averted. The story Of
his continuous heavy advertising
since that time is known through
out til, business world.
To advertise successfully requires
unswerving confidence. Any article
or lot of articles of absolute merit
judiciously advertised at inducement
prices will demonstrate fully the eff
ficacy of newspaper advertising.

enterprising merchants prove in the
end to be better Investments.

SEIZED WITH PARALYSIS.
Mr. w. HI. Bricker is Overcome on
Saturday Evening-Has Not Yet Re-
gained Consciousness.

Mr.. William III. Bricker was seized
with an attack Of paralysis while sit
ting in the BARRIERS chair at Grant
Wells shop on Saturday evening and
became unconscious at once. He has
not regained consciousness and is in
very critical condition.
He had apparently been in the best
of health and spirits and was talking
and laughing while in the chair. All
at once he stopped talking and it was
noticed that something was the mat
ter with him. He tainted aud medi-
cal assistance was at once summoned.
The stricken man was removed to
his hme and everything has been
done for him that can be but without
avail. A clot has formed in the brain
affecting the right side. The clot
was caused by the rupture Of a blood
vessel.
DIR. Kelly his physician has been I'M
remitting in his attention but fears
the outcome of the attack. Two years
ago Mr.. Bricker was seized with a
similar attack but recovered after a
long illness.
He is universally respected as a cit
izen and his many friends are very
apprehensive as to the result OF the
present serious trouble.

Experiment Station Has Just issued 4
Bulletin on This Subject Main
Points Covered In the Publication
The Bulletin Is now BEING Sent out
From the Station.
The Effect of Ineandescent Gas
Light as Il stimulus to plant growth
has been made the subject OF study
by the horticultnrlst at the w Va
Agricultural Experiment Station, and
the bulletin just issued on that sub
ject, No. 81, gives an account OF the
behavior Of plants when placed under
the stimulus of this light for various
periods.
Perhaps we cannot do better than
TO repeat the summary as stated la
the bulletin. While it does not ex-
plain the methods employed, 1t sets
forth the conclusions which were ar
rived at durieg the course of the ex-
pertinent.
|. The incandescent gas light OF
the Welshach burner. IL an active
stimulus TO plant growth when used
at night To supplement- daylight.
2. Lettuce plants subjected TO the
influence of the incandescent gas light
at night were taller aud heavier than
plants OF the same variety and seed
sowing grown In normal conditions.
3. That lettuce and spinach sub
ieeted TO the stimulating influence
of the light grew faster and completed
their growth in less time than plants
OF the same sorts from the same seed
sowing grown In normal conditions.
4. That no injurious effects result
ed from the use OF the incandescent
gas light.
5. That the stimulating influence
OF the light as indicated by the growth
OF plants used in the various tests Is
shown by the order in which the sorts
are named, the first being the most
susceptible spinach, cabbage, radish,
lettuce, tomato,
q. That the range Of light Is some
what variable for the different crops.
In general the maximum growth was
obtained at IL to 16 feet from the
light, while perceptible increase was
noticed at "a feet.

markedly earlier bloom In the light
house-eight days the least and eigh-
teen days the greatest difference.
s. That In the case OF radishes top
growth was stimulated but evidently
not markedly at the expense of root.
With sugar beets top growth was
greatly stimulated evidently at the
expense OF root growth.
3. That while the roots OF beets
grown In the normal house were larger
than those In the light house, the SUI
gar content and the per cent of purity
was markedly higher In the light
house grown beets.
10. Spinach, lettuce and radishes
all tend TO make seed stalks earlier
under the light than In normal condi-
tions.
III. Lettuce and spinach under the
influence of the incandescent gas light

LOCAL MATTERS.
Greater Morgantown and Coal
Deal Written Up.
Wheeling Intelligencer Sees how
Things are Going Here-Greater
Morgantown Likely to Pass-COal
Deal and the Development That is to
Follow It-Good News all around.

Follow lt-G00d News all around.
The Wheeling Intelligencer has
been paying attention to some Of the
things that are going on here and
has the following to say about Great
er Morgantown and our big coal deal.
The coal deal part of it is not affirm
ed by Mr.. Fleming who states that
he did not say everything that is at
tributed to him. The references are
interesting locally and are given for
what they are worth:
Within short time the councils
of Morgantown and suburban NUM-
cipal corporations will call an cleo
ton on the proposition to become
one corporation. At the present time
there are four municipal corpora
tions, whose populations get their
mail from Morgantown, with pop
ulation of 1900; Seneca, with pop
ulation of 900, South Morgantown
i of 900, and Greenmont, with pop
ulation of 500 Besides these are
North Morgantown, with a popula
ton of 400, West Morgantown, with
a population of 200. Both of these
are unincorporated It is the pur-
pose to work out Of this material
ssGreater Morgantown." and get a
new charter at the next session OF
the legislature Nothing else is be-
ing discussed, and it is believed the
movement will carry. The tax rate
is the same in all of the towns, and
the smaller ones have incomes bare
ly sufficient to pay the running ex-
penses OF their governments.
The work of buying the big coal
area on the West side of the Monon-
gahela river, in Monongalia county,
by New York company, for which
James Milholland is trustee, is near
ing completion. The holdings Of
the company will aggregate about
10000 acres, and the price paid is
nearly 100000. Howard Fleming,
of Fairmont, is engineering the deal.
All the deeds are being made to
} Milholland, trustee. The company
will not organize until the titles are
cleared and the money paid out.
When asked if the company would
begin operations at once Mr.. Elem
} ing expressed the opinion that it
would, and predicted that within a
few months Morgantown would be
the center of big coal and coking
industry. Mr.. Fleming also said
that the combination effected by the
big railroad systems would probably
mean the abandonment of the extern
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad in
to West Virginia through this coal
field and the capture of the whole
business by the Baltimore u Ohio
company. This company will prob
ably bridge the Monongahela below
Morgantown, and enter the coal dis
trict with short lines. All of the
coal is of the Pittsburg variety, and
the veins are from ten to fifteen feet
in thickness The Pittsturg coal is
found in few places on the East
side of the river, and these are being
leased by some Pennsylvania par
ties. The upper Freeport coal, whose
veins are from four to six feet in
thickness, is also being taken up.
