w. NJ. Meighen, of Moundsville, re-
Martinsville, where he carried an in
junction granted by Judge Melvin in
the Circuit Court, restricting further
work on the construction Of the new
court house building there, also the
payment of any moneys for the con-
ssruction OF building up to date.
Mr.. MeigAen represents the COM
plainants. The main charge set forth
in the bill is that there has been a spe-
cial election ordered for November to
ascertain by popular vote whether or
not it is the desire of the people of
WetZel county to retain the county
seat at New Martinsville or remove it
to Pine Grove, more centrally located,
situated on the Short Line road.
The movement has been started to
oppose the construction of the build
Ing until after the result OF the cleo
ton is -ascersained. and the final location
OF the county seat Is established. The
plaintiffs mentioned in the Injunction
are B. L. Morgan, H. A. Jolliff, S. L. Jol-
lift, j. w. Stone, R. A. Holbert, D. T.
Rocme, w. G. Morgan, R. w. Hall, B,
w. Waters, P. H. Alley and J. w. Nor
gan.
The bond required is $4,000 The
plaintiffs were at the county clerks Of
flee in New Martinsville yesterday ready
to furnish bond Clerk ]. w. Kauff-
man was absent, and Deputy J. n Null,
who was in charge of the Office, is al
legged to have refused to approve the
bond. This temporarily prevented the
injunction from becoming effectual
The plaintiffs say they will apply for
mandamus to compel the clerk to ap-
prove the bond.
Notwithstanding this turn of affairs
the work of the building was stopped.
Yesterday morning the Wetzel County
Court was to have met at that place to
warrant the payment OF several thous-
and dollars, due for work already COM
pleted. The court conducted a short
session, but adjourned without author
izing the payment OF any money.
The situation is growing intensely in
teresting and will be watched generally
with no little interest.

ADMIRAL SEYMOUR TELLS
THE STORY OF FIGHTING.
Continued From FIRST page.

identical notes addressed to the Eu-
ropean powers and to the United States
Before II can become effective, it must
receive the formal approval OF the gov
eminent here, and to that end the mat
ter was laid bfore the cabinet at TO-
days session. AS already stated, there
is precedent for the naturalization of
the treaty ports In time OF war, but
the conditions were never quite SINH
lar to those now proposed.
The cabinet failed TO ratify the
agreement at to-day's meeting. In fact
the document in it's inception and va
rious stages of development was re-
garded as properly open to such doubt
as to warrant the belief that the for
eign consuls, as a body certainly new
er entered into the agreement. In adj
dition to the subjects above mentioned
as forming part of the agreement, it
appears that the consuls bound them
selves to acquit the Chinese govern
ment of any responsibility for rioting,
murder and pillage in the treaty ports
if any foreign warships should enter
such port in violation of the agree
ment.
There was an apparent conflict be-
tween some OF the provisions, and, In
fact, the whole reputed agreement bore
the appearance OF a rough memorandum
which the cabinet concluded could
never have received the assent of all the
foreign consuls, even supposing that
some of them might have become
frightened into acquiescence.
Therefore no steps were taken even
to ascertain by direct inquiry of Consul
General Goodnow. whether the agree
ment was authentic and he had signed
it. 1t was simply assumed that if he had
done SO, he would have acquainted the
department, being in ready cable COM
munication. So the matter was drop
ped.

If there is any doubt about making
brain power by the use of certain food
the doubter should make the following
experiment
Helen Frances Huntington, of Gaines
vile, GA, says: Just a word of COM
mendation concerning Grape-Nuts,
which | have found to be the most
wholesome, nourishing and appetizing
food that has ever come to my knowl-
edge
Il am not dyspeptic, but being con-
stantly engaged in severe brain work
! found that | did not thrive on ordiu-
airy diet; even moderate dinner du!led
my brain so as TO be practically in
capable of critical work l tried meat
juice, peptonoids, the two meal system
of light breakfast and no supper which
brught on nervous depletion and sleep
lessness, SO l resorted to one and an
other of the various health foods which
all seemed alike tasteless and valueless
as a brain food, until quite by chance,
] had dish of Grape-Nuts food served
as dessert. | liked it so we'll that l be-
gan to use it daily. for supper four tea
spconfuls in a saucer of hot milk, eaten
before it dissolves to mushiness.
This point should be remembered as.
after certain time, evaporation seems
TO effect the sweet nutty favor of the
food as in the case of certain fine
Favored fruits
1.-THE result in my case was simply
astonishing. | had no desire whatever
for sweet pastrys. meats, or in fact any
thing else; and my brain was as clear
and active at night as on awaking
from long, refreshing sleep.
THE peculiar advantage about Grape
Nuts food is that it supplies the nutri-
tive qualities OF varied diet without
the bad results of heavy eating. |
cheerfully recommend it's use to all
brain workers, if not as an exclusive
diet, certainly for the last meal of the
day. | always take it with me when
travelling which saves deal of annoy
ance and discomfort"

IT WAS A SUDDEN AWAKENING

Experience in the Country
Detroit Free Press.
"A good many years ago, when l
was a cub" said the old operator who
was in reminiscent mood, Il was sent
out to relieve an operator in a little
country town. On the way there | no
ticed at town about 10 miles from
where l was going that the Office was
in charge of girl operator. l was
gay spark those days and Immediately
made up my mind to get acquainted at
once. AS soon as | arrived at the Office
was to take charge of | lost no time
in calling her up, and was soon getting
on famously. Inside of a week | sent
her a. box of candy and was thanked so
sweetly for it over the wire that l i'm
mediately bought another box of more
expensive candy and sent that to her,
Luckily for me there was nothing to
do but to report train now and then,
so l managed to get along without be-
ing called down by the train dispatch
er, for spent most of my time sending
sweet words over the wire to my charm
er.
'One Sunday l made up nv mind to
give her call, and I asked the dis
patcher for permission to go down
there. but got point blank refusal
Nothing daunted, l figured out that l
could slip down there between trains
and no one would be the wiser. Secur-
ing hand-car from the section boss,
, proceeded to pump it down to where
my charmer lived. 1t was down grade.
so it was not a difficult matter, and l
soon arrived at my destination. What
l saw when l entered the Office with
wildly beating heart caused my hair to
| curl. Instead OF my golden haired
| beauty, there sat red headed, cross
eyed cub smoking cigarette and eat
| ing candy out of box that had sent
on the day before. BY cautious inquiry
:, and not revealing my own identity,
learned that the girl had been trans
ferred to another Office two days after |
had seen her. and that had been pour
ing my sweet things into the ear OF
that red-haired cub, whose appetite foI
candy was something enormous. j
pumped that hand-car back up grade
for ten miles. and had plenty of time
to think it over
Il met the girl afterward and she is
now my wife. but she doesn't know
anything about the time and money
wasted On that red-headed cub"

The wooden trapeze support folds
into surprisingly small space, and may
also have an awning attachment. A
self-adjusting pulley regulates the an
gle of the hammock and is simple to
work.
There are notifications of this, by
which any one lying in the hammock
may regulate his position. Mosquito
net canopies may also be bought for
the hammocks. The trapeze is inval-
liable on yacht. lawn or veranda, and
saves the trouble Of hunting up two
trees or wall and post at correct
distances for hammock hanging.
