GENERAL ACTIVITY.
Mcdowell Recorder Endorses Pur-
chases OF Coal Lands Here.

The following comments from the
Mcdowell Recorder on the activity
in coal lands here will be apprecia-
ted by our readers:
Purchases of coal land continue
to be made daily, especially up in
Monongalia county, where the coal
is practical continuation of the
ConnelfsviIle seam, There is lot
OF long headed fellows who are buy
ing up this coal, and everybody
seems to be Of the opinion that they
will not have to hold it long till it
will be in demand and till there will
be ample railroad facilities for ship
ping il.
It's generally conceded that about
all the Connellsville coal on the
Pennsylvania side of the line has
been tied up by the coke makers
and that the next field for the coke
enterprise will be on the West Vir-
ginia side of the line.

TWO CENTS
JUDGE TAVENNER
Of Parkersburg, Candidate for
Governor.


Authoritative Information given the
New Interviews to tho
Contrary have been unfounded Gen-
era. feeling of satisfaction over the
Decision.
The political situation in this
state is becoming very interesting IN
both the leading parties. The light
among the Republicans is becoming
very warm and the review publish
ed in this paper Yesterday Is q very
fair summing up OF the situation.
Every day adds to the intensity Of
the scrap and the faithful are be-
coming alarmed over its warmth.
On the other side of the fence
there is not yet much excitment but
the campaign will begin to'g get inter
esting shortly The party has been
resting easy onits oars and watching
the development OF things and will
make its moves when the proper
time comes. In the case Of can
didate for governor many good men
have been suggested and any enc Of
them would be acceptable.
Probably the most popular man
who has mentioned in this connec-
tion is Judge l., N. Tavcnner OF Par.
kersburg II has been given out
however that he would not permit
the use of his name in that connec-
ton and that he had placed q ban
on his friends which prevented them
from booming him as they wished
to do.
The NEw DOMINION is in posi-.
ton to announce authoritatively
that these interviews have been I'M
authorized and that the Judge will
be candidate. He will go into the
convention to win and will probably
be the choice of the party for the POI
sition.
He is regarded as sone OF the
strongest men that could be named.
Coming as he does from Parkersburg
the home of A. b. White who will be
nominated for the same plsce II the
machine wins he would make things
interesting.
The announcement that Judge
Tavenner will be candidate maybe
relied upon and ii will be learned
with great satisfaction by the party
all over the state. 1t is very accept
able in this section.

Strong Play Coming.

Alden Benedict's ''Fabio Rom ami
which will be presented at the Opera
House, Wednesday March 7th is an
adaptation of Marie Correlli's famous
novel "The Vendetta" and is pro-
nounced everywhere to be one of the
best melodramas now on the road and
has received the highest praise from
both press and public wherever it has
been produced. The scenic effects
and costumes are highly spoken Of
and the Company is very strong con-
sisting in part of such well-known ar
lists as Alden Benedict, Eugene Saul
ley and Miss Martha Beauford, who
sustain the principal characters incl
dental to the performance. Miss
Grace Hunter will introduce her cele-
brated Fire, Serpentine, Stereopticon

The Rats Caught.

| The rapid rise in the river caused
fhree RATS belonging to L. Picken-
baugh to break loose. Two of them
were in Dents Run, at Granville,
and were soon rounded up. The
lojther one was in the mouth of Deck
er's creek here and it went nearly to
Jimtcwn before it was caught.
The ice coming out of Decker &
Ncreek partially sunk the government
boat house which contains the naph-
tina launch which is used by the gsv-
ernment engineers. The damage
Twill however be slight.

THE THIRTIErH INFANTRY BAND


A Combination Of Rare Talent Well
Provided is What the Manila Tribune
Calls Ii.
The following reference to the
Both Regiment Band is taken from
the Manila Tribune of a recent date:
The band of the Thirtieth Infan
try which, under the leadership of
Walter A. Mestrezat, has met with
marked success in it's musical dis
plays ever since its arrival in Mani
la, continues to cater to the public
amusement ON the Luneta, and will
this evening introduce a number of
new compositions of that class for
which the band has become so no
ted.
Never could Manila, in Spanish
times, boast of such well ordered
and competent aggregation OF must
cal talent as she now possesses. A
company of experienced musicians
possessing a full set of Concert"
instruments, the best made, the Both
Infantry Band holds the field
against all competitors.
The regiment that is the proud
possessor of such band, arrived in
these islands on Oct. 23rd and is at
present at work on the south line.
1t was organized in Chicago, and
the bandsmen are picked men from
al. parts of the country.
Mr.. w. A. Mestrezat, the able
bandmaster, informs us that he him
self plays no less than 800 different
solos, and that the music at the
command of the band is world wide
in it origin. Any selection that is
requested can be reproduced by the
band and if there should be any
piece chosen that is not forthcom-
ing it will be procured from the
States.
The musicians composing the
band are all Americans, and are we'll
versed in the science Of music. The
solosts are six in number

The Swiss Hunter And His Home.
REV. $. v. LEIGH.

The following poem by resident
OF Morgantown recently appeared in
the New York Christian Advocate.
We take pleasure in reproducing IL
together with the note accompanying
it.
Those who have personally CONVEX
sed with aged Alpine hunters are
familiar with their intense affection
for their native mountains
Enthroned among the everlasting
hills,
Sublime In grandeur, rich
with sparkling rills,
Its brow grit with the rainbow Ger
the cloud,
Its grand and frowning cliffs,
august and proud,
Its emerald slopes yernal with leafy
woods,
Its assured rocks cut deep by
many floods,
My native Alp lifts high its giant
form
Nor bows its snowy top to gale or
storm.
Majestic mount! Thy tall crest thrown
SO high
Cleans like a tower of crystal
'gainst the sky.
My long departed sires enjoyed thy
glades.
Their children's children revelled
midst thy shadese
Their dear ones culled, in abeauty's
opening day
Fair flowers Of gorgeous hues.
Their quick decay
Was emblematic of the the brief ca
reer
or some whose name affections
scroll holds dear.
The gold-frlnged clouds pavilion thee,
and throng
To hear thy dark groves chant
their matin song.
In splendid pomp they wreathe thine
apex high
When sinks the dying sun in
western sky.
! stand on thy, cold top and see the
plains
Enriched with vineyards, gay
with waving grains.
Enclrcling thee tall, sister SUBMITS
rise
And kiss the clouds that deck tho
bending skies.
Familiar landmark Noble deeds OF
story
Have honored thee with deathless
fame and glory.
Mount Helicon may boast its classic
fountain.
More dear TO me the rills OF my
old mountain.
Among thy dells and lonely sleeps 1
wander
At sunset hour, in pensive
thought, and ponder
On days of bliss that like thy rain
bows form
Dissolved In disappointment,
gloom and storm.
Ancestral kindred on thy slopes are
sleeping.
A few brief hours OF mingled joy
and weeping,
Then / shall join the unrecorded
number
Who rest upon thy breast IN
dreamless slumber
But proud old Alp, that saw crea-
tion's dawning!
When thou shalt reel on the
great Judgment morning,
l shall commence life OF endless
day
When thou, old sentinel, shall
pass away.

Swindlers Abroad.

A smooth swindler is operating
among live stock owners of this state,
says one of our exchanges. His plan
of operation is to represent himself as
heavy buyer and he stays long enough
to make his intended victims feel that
they are acquainted with him. He
pretends to buy number of animals
and then endeavors to get the sellers
to identify him at some bank so that
he may cash worthless checks and
drafts. The one that Identifies him
becomes responsible for him. Be on
your guard.

THE BEST OF
READING FOR
OLD AND YOUNG.

Few newspapers in theaSuntry have
better news facilities than 1.-The Pitts
burg Post. A glance at its columns
day by day will convince even the most
casual reader that this is a fact. 1t
covers the local, domestic and foreign
fields thoroughly. In addition to the
splendid service of the Associated
Press, ''The POST receives the news
Of the world collected specially by two
OF the leading New York newspapers.
Thus not source of news is left I'M
covered.
The great success Of 1.-THE POST In
reporting the Spanish-American war
is being continued now thai war has
been carried into Africa. 1.-The Post'sr
dispatches from London and the seat
OF war are unequaled. Particular
praise should be given the cabled let
tiers of |. N. Ford, who so ably sizes
up the war situation each day.
Now that Congress is in session
1.-THE Post" may be expected to give
the most complete and interesting re-
ports from the National Capital. Al
ready the events are shaping them
selves for the presidential campaign
Of 1900, and 1.-THE POST is planning
to duplicate and then excel its won
derful record of 1885,
The great progress made by ssThe
Sunday POST in the last few years
has made it one of the maryels or
modern journalism. Its half-tone
supplement is not surpassed anywhere
and is equaled BY few magazines.
1t is the cleanest family paper, and
its market reports are the latest and
most reliable.
Taken all in all the prospects OF
1.-THE Post" are OF the brightest, and
its readers have every reason to be-
lieve they will fare better than ever
before.
