Clarks Code says the uniform ruling
from the beginning of the Supreme court
down to the present has been that no
hearing lies in criminal cases. The as
pIicaton for relief must be made to the
Governor. The cases of State VS.. Jones,
50 n. c., 16 and State VS.. Starnes, "a N.
c., 973 are cited.
The decision in State VS.. Jones was
written by Judge Reade, and it is quoted
above and dissented from by Judge Doug
las. The case of State VS.. Starnes he dis
misses with a reference, but as it affirms
the State VS.. Jones decision and is so
much to the point it may not be out of
place to here reproduce few paragraphs
from the opinion, which was written by
Chief Justice Smith. He says: THE juris-
diction conferred upon this court, is. I'M

The University Regent.

Morgantown, w. Va. Feb 12-When
seen with reference to the report Of
the investigating committee Presi-
dent Sturgiss, of the board of regents
of the West Virginia University re-
fused to say anything about it other
than TO express a hope that the en-
emies of the present administration
are satisfied. In reply to a question
whether the present board would car
ry out the recommendation of the
committee respecting the retirement
of President Raymond from the head
of the university he said the board
would probably permit the Legisla-
ture to conclude the job. Mr.. Stur-
giss said he had no regret that he also
the investigating committees recon-
mednations are carried ont, declaring
that he had given Governor elect
White to understand some weeks ago
that his resignation could be had at
any time.
A canvass of the university contin-
gent reveals division of opinion on
the matter of a resident regent, which
the committee seeks to abolish 1t is
contended by those favoring resi-
dent regent that unless the president
of the university is given plenary
powers in its management the routine
work will be seriously impeded.
Those opposing insist that the resident
regent is the vehicle for the airing of
every little unpleasantness which
arises in the institution. The town
people are opposed to the abolition of
the summer term, but the best inter
ests of the school will probably be
promoted for the present without it,.

The report Of the special joint COM

gate the State University at Morgan

tails. They recommended the condi-
tions they found there. A resolution

Of his office. but however, regarded
some Of his views Of policies as not
suited 10 the conditions as they exist
at present. This, the report says,
together with his youth, inexperience
and want of tact in dealing with men,
led the committee to the conclusion
that the best interests of the univer-
sity would be subserved by q change
in the presidency Thereof.
"'We are, says the report led to
this conclusion by the overwhelming
evidence that was before MS III our in
vestigation and we therefore recon-
mend that such change be made. =
The committee is of the opinion that
there should be complete reorganiza-

that in such reorganization there
should be no local regent appointed
upon the new board.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. "a row
was precipated in the Senate yester-
day morning which for a few NOM
ents bid fair to be sreious. The joint
resolution for constitutional amend
ment providing for five Supreme
Court judges was under consideration,
when Senator Kidd offered an amend
ment providing for non partisan
court. This was bitterly opposed by
Senators May, Lanham and Koran,
Republicans and advocated by Soma
tors Kidd, Osenton and Cornwell,
Democrats. The latter sought TO put
the majority on record and Mr.. Kidd
demanded the yeas and nays. The
President ignored the demand where
upon Mr. Kidd entered a vigorous pro-
test. The President i'll stern voice
ordered him TO take his seat but Mr.
Kidd replied that he would when ask
ed to do so in gentlemanly manner.
The President il loud voice order
ed the sergeant at arms to seat the
Senator. The officer approached
while Mr.. Kidd remained standing.
Only the cool headedness of the SER
geant-at-arms, who refused to obey
the order Of the President, prevented
a scene Of disorder of free-for-all
fight.

Get at the Cause.

You are not feeling well, you say
Some part of your system is out of
order. Food gives you distress, you
have headaches and weak, tired and
depressed feeling. Or it may be that
scrofula, rheumatism or catarrh
troubles you. Whatever it is, your
first business is to get at the cause and
remove it.
To do this ought not to be difficult
provided You have the help of the
right medicine. The best medicine
money can buy is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t strikes at the root of a great varie-
ty of diseases. and completely cures
them For instance, the cause of dys-
pepSia is weakness of the stomach
and clogs of digestive power. This
medicine cures dyspepsia by restoring
the proper digestive fluids and giving
tone and strength to the digestive or
gans. The cause of that tired feeling
is impoverished blood, and it is cured
by enriching and vitalizing the blood
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. The cause
of rheumatism is acid in the blood
This medicine neutralizes the acid and
permanently cures rheumatism. All
scrofulous diseases salt rheum, pim-
pies and eruptions are manifestly due
to impurities in the blood and are cur
ed by expelling these impurities with
Hood s Sarsaparilla.
The record of cures accomplished by
this.medicine is conclusive proof of
its merit. People buy it with perfect
confidence that it will do them good
and it does not disappoint,

dollars per day compensation each,
and the secretary not to exceed six

is not to be more than 81 800.

chief clerk in the internal revenue
office, has been designated by the
treasury department, to act as inter
nal revenue collector for the district
of West Virginia, from the 10th inst,
until the time of the app ninment OF
a successor to Collector A. b. White,
whose resignation takes effect ON the
18th. The notice was received at the
Office yesterday.
This action goes to show that Col
lector Whites successor has not yet
been decided upon definitely. Judge
Reese Blizzard is the leading candi-
date for the appointment, but Senator
Thomas E. Davis, of Grafton has en-
tered the contest for the place within
the last few days.
Chief Clerk w. Il. Whites term as
acting collector will continue till the
matter of successor to Governor
White is settled definitely That may
be soon or it may not be for some
time. 1t is rumored ON very good

Legislature Work.

Charleston, w Va, Feb. s.-The
important bin up in the House yester-
day rs House Bill No. 277 to provide
additional revenues for the State BY
increasing the license tax Of corpora
tions and joint stock companies.
The bill is in accordance with the
4 recommendation made by Governor
Atkinson. During its consideration
many important amendments 70 i
were made. The bill will increase
the State revenue largely, it is said
and will become a law.
The most interesting scene IN the up
per branch was enacted at the session
Wednesday night, when the legislative
re-disrticting bill, was up for its final
reading and pass ge.
Senator Cornwell moved that the bill
be ordered back to its second reading
for The purpose of amendment. The
chair ruled that this could ony be
done by re-considering the vote by
which the bill as ordered TO its third
reading. Senator Kidd moved that
the enacting clause be stricken out.
This provoked a speech from Senator
Lanham. in advocacy of the bill, to
which Senator Cornwell replied, charg
ing the majority with unfairness in
ordering the bill 70 its third reading,
without giving the minority proper
opportunity to offer amendments.
Senator Osenton also made fiery
speech along this line and was fol-
lowed by Senator Kidd. President
Smith called Senator Lanham to the
chair, and made brief speech, in
which he compared the present redis-
tricting bill with that of ten years
ago, and the treatment accorded the
minority then and now.
Senator Cornwell responded by offer
ing an apology to the Senate, if it
was his fault that the dignified officer
had left the chair to indulge in invec-
tive and personalities. Senator Lam
ham made brief speech defending
the action Of President Smith.
The lively political bout somewhat
resembled a regular scrap in the low
er House and large number of visit
ors, including ladies were attracted 10
the session. The bill passed by a
strict party vote.
A bill which passed the House
abolishes the whole board of trustees
of the public property at Berkeley
Springs and provides for new board
of five members, to be appointed by
the Governor, with plenary power to
sell or lease the property.
The question of the disposition of
the public property at Berkeley
Springs has been the subject of many
exciting and factional contests before
many past legislatures. II is believed
that the bill which has now passed
the House will go through the Senate
and at last finally concluded the mat

The bill authorizing the city of
Martinsburg to issue bonds at 4 per
cent for the increase of water system
and other improvements passed the

ing to the bonds OF that city have
