OVER A MILLION DOLLARS
Are the Assets Of the Monongahela
valley--Excellent Showing for Nor
gant0wn Banks.

The statement OF the Bank Of the
Monongahela Valley as made up on
Saturday at the close OF business
shows its assets to be over million
dollars. This is gain Of nearly one
hundred thousand dollars over one year
ago. The deposits are 1896, 600, one
year ago they were $755.000. The
loans Of the bank aggregate $3.50 900.
This will show the deposits in the
banks Of Morgantown to be about a
million and half. This is not so
much to be wondered at when the de-
velopment of the country Is taken into
consideration. Besides the regular
channels of business the sale Of coal
lands has brought vast sums here and
the activity ia all lines Of business
has increased in manner not hereto
fore dreamed OF. The business Of
this locality is active and healthy,
great Improvements are in progress
and there is employment for labor
both skilled and unsklled. Few
towns have enjoyed more prosperous
year than Morgantown.

MEETING FOR MEN.
Presbyterian Church Crowded to the
Doors on Sunday Night-Impressiye
Sermon Delivered by Mr.. Smith.

There can be no doubt that the men
Of Morgantown are interested as they
have never been before Ia religions
affairs. The fact that the large au-
ditorium and parlor OF the Presbyter-
ian church have been literally packed
with men only at two services Is SUM-
cient evidence of their deep interest.
But many are manIfesting their inter-
est In more emphatic way by asking
the prayers of Christian people; and
some by accepting Jesus Christ as
their personal SAVIOR.
The meeting Sunday night surpass-
ed In most respects even the great
meeting OF last Thursday night.
There is an atmosphere OF earnestness
and freedom peryading mems relig-
ious meeting, that Is rarely found many
other place. The sermon preached at
this service was the last OF four SER
mons that Evangelist Smith preached
Sunday, but his characteristic force
and enthusiasm seemed undated
He showed no signs OF WEAKNESS.
The text was: sAnd who now Is on
the Lords side?"
The request for men to bear witness
publicly that they are on the Lords
side Is by no means the invention Of
the modern evangelist. Moses used
it thousands of years ago.
Some Of the reasons for being on
the Lords side are:
/. It is reasonable. The infldel
simply makes negations. He proves
nothing. The Christian tells what
be believes and can give the very best
reasons for believing it.
2. 1t is right. This fact is con-
coded by almost every sane man,
3. 1t is the wise course for this
life only. Even II there were no here
after, the Christian faith is OF meal
culable value for the peace and salts
faction 1t affords this side the grave.
4. 1t means eternal happiness.
There is no other way In which man
may be saved. 1t means all things In
the hour OF death.
Those who heard the sermon are
convinced that eternity alone will
reveal the coed 1t accomplished.
Every man was earnest in his atten-
ton and applied its practical lessons
to his own life.
After many had decided for Christ,
a testimony meeting was held ana
about seven.y-fiye men told In a SEN
tence each why they were on the
Lords side.

BILL INTRODUCED.
Greater Morgantown is Now on
the Way.

Bills Introduced in Both House and
Senate at the Same Time-Prospects
Good For its Early Passage-Grant
and Davis will Push it Through as
Fast as Possible.
Special to the New DOMINION.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. H.
The bill providing for the incorpor-
OF the four towns of Greenmont,
Morgantown, Seneca and South
Morgantown was introduced to-day
in both House and Senate.
Delegate Grant introduced it in
the House and Senator Davis in the
Senate. The bill has every prospect
of success at an early date and it
will be pushed as fast as possible.
The gentlemen who are behind it
have great deal of influence in
their respective bodies and they
will leave no effort unspared in their
work towards It's passage.
1t is thought that there will be
no opposition of any moment to the
bill as the legislature is disposed to
let the towns interested present
their wishes and then they accede
to them.

PROBABLY MURDER.
More ugly Facts are Coming to
Light
In Connection with the Death of Marion
Rogers Several men Seen Near the
Point where his Mangled Remains
were Found Suspicious Wounds ON
his Head.
Fairmont Times.

Although the real cause Of the
death of Marion Rogers who was
found on the tracks here on Wednes-
day night, may never be known there
are many people and among them a
large number Of railroad men who dis
agree with the decision of the Justice
and firmly believe that he met with
foul play and was murdered and his
body then placed on the track.
A well known employe OF the rail
road company who was on the scene
both that night and the next morning
after he was found says that in his
mind there is little doubt that Rogers
was waylaid and then placed on the
track either in an unconscious condi-
tion or dead. He says that blood was
found at least ten feet from the place
where the body was hit by the engine.
Blood that far away could not have
been thrown there by the man being
hit by the engine.
The wounds on the head were Of
such nature as tc denote that they were
made with some sortof weapon per-
haps coupling pin. The one in the
front part of the head especially looks
as though it was the result Of being
struck with some blunt heavy piece OF
iron.
Other employees at the depot say
that they saw men run across the
tracks and disappear near the place
where the old freight depot was situa-
ted. 1t is the opinion OF these gen
tlemen that the fellows seen by them
had hand in the crime.
1t is stated that Rogers had about
thirty dollars in his possession during
Tuesday afternoon and when he was
found none Of the money was in his
clothes and the pockets Of his trousers
were pulled up and the bottoms cut
open. This could hardly have been
done by the engine as the rest OF the
upper part Of his trousers was not
damaged.
One of the officers on the police
force watched Rogers during that
evening before his death and says thai
, he was accompanied by two or three
fellows OF bad reputation, and thal
they seemed to be treating him in {
rather rough manner. He kept his
eye on the crowd over an hour but a:
nothing was done to warrant the ar
rest OF any OF them, he went away anf
did not bother them.

The Legislature Facing A Perplexing
Problem.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. H.
The legislature is facing a perplex-
ing situation. Financially there are
not enough holes for the pegs. The
states revenue has in the past year
aggregated about ST. 100000, and it
is estimated that it may reach ST.
100000 this year, while the demands
of the several departments reach the
enormous sum of $2.300,000.
According to Senator Thomas z.
Davis, chairman of the senate
finance committee. the legislative,
judicial and executive expenses,
which are largely fixed, will reach
100000 and the criminal charges
will eat up 100000, so that there
remains 100000 to be appropriated
among department IS shat ask for ST.
100000
Already the legislators are iuves-
tigating ways and means for raising
additional revenue, but even then
there must be liberal shaving all
round.
Chairman Davis, of the senate
finance committee, is endeavoring to
get matters In shape at the earliest
possible time for the framing of the
appropriation bill, and his idea is to
have conferences with the house
committee and agree upon a measure
that will be pushed in both houses.
Mr.. ROGERS, father of Marion
Rogers, the man who was killed in
the yards Wednesday night, an ac-
count Of which appeared in Fridays
Times, arrived here Thursday evening
from Mt. Morris, Pa, to take charge
OF the remains of his son. He was
accompanied by an undertaken from
the above named place, and late in
The evening they started home with
the body, driving through TO Mt. Nor
tbs, where the remains will be buried.

.ATARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
