If lambs are fed little grain daily
from the time they can be learned to
eat It, there is almost no trouble at all
in weaving them, and they need not
shrink In weight or worry for the
mother. They may be left with her,
and they will not nurse any more than
perhaps to take suck when they are
thirsty, but as the eve is not nursed
regularly her milk loses both flavor and
nutritive quality after few days and
the lamb no longer likes 1t. The habit
may remain for few days, but seldom
longer, and he has weaned himself.

MONEY POWER ANTAGOsIsTIC
To Increase of Pensions Startling
Charge Made by Ex-COmmis-
siOner Murphy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. The Dem
ocratic Congressional Committee this
afternoon gave out an interview with
Former Commissioner of Pensions
Dominic Murphy, which is somewhat
sensational. Mr.. Murphy charges
that the President is opposed to in
creased pensions because the ''money
power" is against pension roll expan-
sion. The statement is as follows:
''Hon. D. l. Murphy, former Com
missioner of Pensions, now residing
in this city, in an interview made the
following statement, which, he is as
sured, can be fully substantiated:
During the national encampment
of the G. A. r. at Philadelphia one
year ago the pension question and the
attitude of this Administration to-
ward the Civil War veterans were the
principal topics under consideration.

upon the President and protest
against the policy being carried out in
the pension office.
''This committee called CD Presi-
dent Mckinley on the morning of
September A, 1899. They presented
to him the complaints Of their COM
rades and urged change in the pen
sion policy. They even went SO far
as to tell the President that the g. A.
r. might even ask for the removal Of
the Commissioner Of Pensions.
"Repiying to the committee, Presi-
dent Mckinley gave them plainly to
understand that he would sustain the
Commissioner, no matter how strong
ly the encampment might condemn
him, and added this astounding decla-
ration:- There is no use denying the
fact, gentlemen, that the money pow
er of the country Is against any furth-
er expansion or the pension ROLL
'sThe amazement and discontinue
Of the committee were so complete
that they quickly withdrew from the

FITZGERALD REPLIES.
Takes Mr.. Dolliver to task on
Every Point

He Makes Complete answer to the
FalIacies Of the Iowa 0rator-Large
Crowds Hear Him In Court Honse
square Several Republicans State
That they hare Flopped.
Col. Nat Ward Fitz-Gerald who
has eampalgned extensively, in this
and other states, made an eloquent
and powerful speech last night, in the
Court House square.
The occasion was reply TO Mr..
Dolliver, formerly a citizen of this
town, but now of Iowa, who spoke for
Mckinley at the Opera house on Tues
day evening. The Colonel was pres
ent, took eopious notes, and prompt
ly announced that he would reply to
Delivers speech and would also men,
tion some things IN the Republican
platform that Dolliger had over
looked.
At the opening, the Colonel read a
recent production of his-a poem en-
titled Trusts. 1t is full of satire, and
hits at the trusts, and interweavers
into its lines, every article, now IN the
trusts, that is used by the average
family.
The audience that had assembled,
was at least twice as large as Dolly
er's audience. They enjoyed the poem
and vigorously cheered its many hits
and salient points.
Colonel Fitz-Gerald then took up,
seriatim, every point attempted to be
made by Dolliver and refuted it, in
convincing and eloquent language.
He complimented Dolliver for his elo-
quence but excoriated the points Dol
liver expected the people to receive as
intelligent arguments, in crisis like
this. Dolliyer spoke one hour and
three minutes, and So minutes of that
time was given to ridiculing Bryan,
and to the free silver. After touch
ing upon this, in reply, the Colonel
took up the infamy add horrors Of the
war for conquest now being waged by
Mckinley, and portrayed in burning
wards, the national crime we are COM
uniting and said that he believed the
judgements of Almighty God would

to individuals, and that as they sow,
that also shall they reap. 1t was
speech never to be forgotten by those
who heard it. No one can listen to
Col. Fitz- Gerald's stirring words of
fiery eloquence and not be convinced
that he is thoroughly in earnest, and
believes what he says.
At the close he was surrounded by
scores of hearers who had been warm
ed up, by the speech, and two repub-
licans took him by the hand, and as
sured him, that as result of that
speech, Bryan would receive their
votes in November.
Other republicans said, there was
nothing left of Dolliver, after that
speech.
COL Fitz-Gerald is not candidate
for office, aud he is doing Democracy
great good, in this State.

Convention Changed.

The place of holding the convention
OF the Christian churches has been
changed from Morgantown to New
Martinsville.
Prof. L. G. Woolery, Of Morgantown
was greatly interested in securing the
convention for that town and that ar
rangement was made out of the con-
sideration which the church had for
him. Since his death, however, the
leaders of the Christian church there
have informed the other churches
that they would be unable TO make
the arrangements for the convention
which they had desired, owing TO the
death OF Prof. Woolery and the place
Of holding it was changed to New
Martinsville. This has aroused no
little interest in the local Christian
churches and it is very probable that
when the convention meets on the
4th of next month there will be very
large delegations present.
