preliminary OratOrlcal Contest Held.
Columbians Elected Society Officers.
The football team had their pictures
taken and elected a captain on Friday
afternoon. Roscoe Brown a member
of the class of '04 was chosen over
Smith another half back. Brown
plays left half and is good steady
player who has the respect and es-
TEEN of everyone. He lives at Glarks-
burg.
This is his second year on the Var
sity and he will be here three years
longer. Most of the team this year
will be in school next year. Those
who will not be here by reason of
graduation are Hodges. McWhorter
and Lang. Lardin and Lewis will al
SO graduate but they will probably be
back. The latter is almost certain to
be here.
It is thought that there will be a
much better team next year than this.
The men will get to playing earlier
and several new men will be in school.
DR.. Hill is probably to be the coach
again next year. He is confident that
we will have much better team than
this season. The management closed
the season with deficit of about one
hundred and fifty dollars. They are
now raising this amount.

BIRDS TRAPPED
And Sold to Merchant in Town-The
Law is Very Severe on This Point.

Twenty five birds were brought
into town on Friday and sold to one
of II merchants. 1t was found that
they had been trapped and they were
at once withdrawn from sale by the
merchant and returned to the man
who had brought them in. Steps will
be taken by the Game Protective AS
ISOLATION to prosecute the guilty par
ties.
The law is plain and it positively
forbids the taking of partridges in
traps or with nets. The man who
buys or sells them when they have
been taken illegally is as guilty as
the man who first caught them. The
fines are from twenty five to fifty dol
lars for each offence which means for
each bird. Halt of the fine goes to
the informer.

TWO CENTS
ASKED FOR By RIVER MEN.
Capts. bravo aud iysle in Washington
to Request Moaongahela aud Ohio
ImnrnYemnnf

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.--Capt. John
+. Dravo and Addison Lysle, rep
resenting the pittsburg Coal Elk
change, arrivep in Washington this
morning aud called upon Represen-
tative Acheson to try to arrange for
a hearing before the River and Har-
hors committee, hut as the commit
tee will not grant any more hearings
to river men, the Plttsburg repre-
sentatives were unable to secure
day,
Capt bravo stated that the river
men has suffered a loss OF over 81,
100000 by reason OF collision OF coal
barges with the piers in the river,
and further loss of 100000 by
the necessity of employing additions
al help in transporting the coal
bargcs down the river II the piers
were raised, this additional expense
would be eliminated. Capt. bravo
says the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road is willing TO cooperate with
the government in improving the
bridges, but the Pennsylvania road
refuses to do anything.
Capt. bravo says the river men
are very anxious to secure an APP
preparation for the reconstruction of
the six locks and dams on the Mon
ongahela river, but ii this cannot be
allowed they want locks No. | and
No. 2 reconstructed They also
want an appropriation of $40, 500 for
additional land at each of the SIX
locks on the Monongahela river.
The owners of the land charge ex-
orbitant prices to the river men
when their tows are compelled to
tie up at the locks over night, and
If the Government provides for the
purchase Of this property great
expense would be saved to the coal
operators. The total appropriation
asked by the Pittsburg Coal ex
change for the Monongahela river is
81 .635, 900, but it is hardly likely
that the River and Harbors com
mittee win grant this amount.

Cry of Fire StartIes People who We're
Watching the Public School
Entertainment.

Last night the Public School chill
dren Of Fairmont were giving an en-

a panic was started by cry of fire.
The audience was at once in an up
roar.
Several ladies tainted and the audi

in body when they were stopped by
cool heads and the damage done was
inconsiderable. The alarm was found
to be a false one and the entertain
ment went on with the performers
very much ratified but they carried

The population Of towns and cities
in the state outside CT Wheeling which
has already been published has been
sent out by the census department.
MorgantoWn is not included in this
because she falls below the two thous-

together we would have about 5000
and would rank well up toward the
top. There would be but towns in
the state including Wheeling that
would be ahead of US in population.
As it 1t we are not even classed.
This will be the figure for the next
ten years and with outsiders we must
take position that is very far below
the one to which we are entitled.
The population of the towns and

Having heard complaints from some
sections of our county of trespassing
upon the lands Of another by hunters,
fishers, loafers, etc, we respectfully
ask our court officials To see to il that
the law in reference to the same be
strictly enforced.
We urgently request our county
officials to use due diligence in enforc-
ing the law in reference to Sabbath
breaking. 1t is no unusual sight to see,
on the Sabbath day, chicken peddlers
and others loaded with all manner Of
produce, also cattle drivers, passing
through our county going to and from
market in open violation OF law.
Whereas, one of the safe guards for
protection of life, safety to property
etc, is the sacredness of oath-and as
it is made manifest that someSpeople
seem to treat their oaths lightly, we
call the attention Of the courts to the
enforcement of the law against perjury
1t having appeared frequently in
public prints that some of our citizens
have in the past been engaging in what
is called euchre parties, playing at
cards for prize, and as this body deem
this as one form of gambling, we sound
this tocsin of warning, urging these
people from further indulgence.
We express our appreciation of his
Honor, Judge, Geo. +. Gober, and the
Hon. Thos HUTCHINSON, Solicitor-Gen-
eral, for the able and efficient manner
in which they dispatched the business
of this court, and we take pleasure in
commenting these two worthy, impair
tial and conscientious officials for their
faithful public service, and we do most
heartily endorse each of them for re-
election to their respective positions.

Local News Overflow.

The international Association of
Ticket Agents will hold their rinth con-
vention in Atlanta on March the 9Th at
3 o'clock. There will be 400 of these
people who will leave Chicago on a
special train, which passes Marietta on
The morning of March 8th. 1t would
be good idea to extend them an inyi-
tation to stop over in Marietta for n
couple of hours and be driven over the
town in carriages. 1t would advertise
our town among these northern and
western people and thus sow seeds that
may bring forth good harvest. Let
our citizens and the city council con-
slider the matter and see what can be
done.
The merchant who knows how to cul-
tivate market has before him direct
road to success. His own personality
and his own standing in the community
are, OF course factors in the building
up OF trade /; but the controlling agency
by which he may secure ready and
paying market is advertising. With
well-conducted establishment. amply
and conveniently stocked, a tradesman
who shall judiciously and regularly use
the advertising columns of fully ac-
credited newspaper may justly hope to
realize his most sanguine expectations.
The business announcements in high
grade journal go out like trusty mes
sengers, bearing needed information to
the purchasing public whose custom,
once secured the shrewd merchant may
expect to retain Exchange.
The Crazy Doctor" II. f. Major,
struck the town Saturday. Standing
in carriage, on the square, he did a
few tricks with cards, and then he gave
away some corn salve and then he sold
some and gave the money back, and
sometimes more. He then began to
sell electric belts, one dollar each:
lust advertising Them" you know
lie would wrap one dollar bill arourr.
the silver dollar he received and then
he would pencil something on the
greenbacks and drop the "wad into
his hat held by one of the audience.
This left by inference the impression
that he would give back this money
also, two for one, and the suckers" bit
the bait until he was kept busy handing
out electric belts and piling money in
his hat. Gentlemen, this is nv
money; isn't it? / have a right to do
as please with it," he would exclaim
every time he made sale. Then at
the conclusion he lifted his hand in
polite salute to the crowd and drove off
with his pockets full of money If he
was a Cray Doctor" there was method
in his madness.
