Business Man Best Fitted for Mayor.

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
1t has been suggested that none
but lawyer need apply for the office
of Mayor of Greater Morgantown.
Why? The Mayor has nothing to do
with preparing the ordinances OF the
town, that duty belongs to the City
Attorney or Solicitor. The Mayor
simply carries out or executes the
ordinances He has no more judicial
duties to perform than the Justice OF
the Peace, and rarely are professional
lawyers elected Justices Of the Peace.
Give US good, clean business man
for Mayor OF the new City. The great
Cities OF this country such as New
York, Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Philadelphia and the like,
rarely ever elect professional lawyers
to the Office Of Mayor. They prefer
business men, men OF experience and
sound judgement. We hear the name
of George q. Steele mentioned on
every hand as Mayor OF the new City.
No better selection could be made.
He is progressive, honest and safe.
He would give us clean business
like administration. Let US have
Steele for Mayor

canned goods, etc, with them.
Chief Fleming went to Clarksbnrg
and found the Pinnickinick store
had been robbed. The manager
came here and identified a portion
Of the goods and the clothes worn
by the prisoners.
The boy confessed that they had
been making Fairmont their head
quarters for two months past, and
that they had been making house

here. He told where they had
clothes concealed at the WILTSHIRE
bridge between here and Grafton
and Chief Fleming and Detective
Shorts, of the B. Il O., went with
him and secured the stolen goods
yesterday evening.
Just before these three were ar

MR.. BUCHANAN,s CONDITION.

1t is Grave but not Hopeless Has not
Lost Anything During the Last Is
Hours.
Until last Wednesday the symptoms
in Mr.. Buchanan's case were all favor
able. At that time bad turn came
which alarmed physicians, nurses,
and friends but did not make his con-
dition hopeless. While his condition
today is serious it is not without
hope. He has not lost anything DUR
ing the last As hours. The chief
trouble is want OF proper assimilation
of food and If that can be righted he
may again start on the way to recoy-
cry. 1t is believed that the public
anxiety has exaggerated the gravity Of

They drank deeply and replaced their

and defiance went back to her old place

straight into the fire, as if she were

out the bottles again and took long,
