The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and joy. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets nc TAI
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living On what

tie Mafy Peck, the II-year-old daugh-
ter Of Charles Peek, German residing
on Walnut avenue, IN this city, was
met by an unknown man near her
home at about o'clock last night,
while going home from q neighhoring
house. He threw something over her
head, presumably TO drown her voice.
Mr.. Cation, who resides close to the
Peck house, saw the movement of the
fellow, but paid little attention, sup
posing him TO be her father, but when
her cries were heard be ran TO her as
sistanee. The barking Of the watch
dog frightened the man away. One
hour later. as Pearl McCord, who Is
working at one OF the glasshouses,
was coming home from work, she was
also met near her home, also on Wal
nut avenue, and but short distance
from the Peck house by a person I'M
known to her. He went through
about the same sort of movements In
this case as he did in the first. It Is
said a negro has been lettering around

been frequently seen In that part OF
the city, and is of suspicious
character. The children were so bad
ly frightened they were unable to tell
whether he was white or colored.

that may come before the jury and
they were urged not to make spec
ialty of any one form of lawbreaking
but to go after all of it.
Carrying weapons, illegal liquor
selling, gambling games, perjury,
violations of election laws and of game
laws were brought especially to tie
attention Of the jury.

dollars and cost and given thirty days
in jail for disturbing religious wor-

Oil Notes.

The present conditio ms that prevail
in the eastern fields give no indication
that the trade stands In any danger of
suffering ia the near or somewhat re-
mote future from overproduction
says. the Pittsburg Dispatch. With
the Sand Fork pool down to 500 bar
rels day, the Texas scare removed
and no new pools in sight in the east
ern oil producing areas, confidence
has been restored and producers are
looking forward to new era of pros
perity in the oil industry. Neither
the volume Of stocks above ground nor
the rate of accumulation is sufficient
cause for alarm and unless some new
territory can be discovered the old
wells will have to be invigorated and
new production be supplied by the
undeveloped fields ia the lower south
west. In many localities there is
still a larger amount Of this kind of
territory and then there is always the
possibility of discovering extensions
to the oil fields and the discovery of
new pools. Both are likely to be
small ia area, but in TIE aggregate
they furnish no small amount OF new
productions.
In looking over the present condi-
tions the territory In the Cross Roads
and Blacksville developments 10 Mon
ongalia county, w. Va, is the most
formidable.
The South Penn Oil company Is the
foremost operating company in this
district, and scarcely week passes
that it does not bring in number OF
good producers. More new production
is being derived from this territory
and along the State line, in Greene
county, than any other part OF the
lower southwest. The territory is not
at this time fully defined or developed
and promises u stand at the head for
a considerable time.

The text of two resolutions intro
dueed into the legislature is given
below. They will be read with in
terest:
BY, Mr. McCnlloeh, House joint
resolution No. 81.
Whereas. committee of the Leg
islature appointed to investigate the
condition of affairs at the West Vir-
ginia University, has recommended
that change be made in the Presi
deney of that institution; therefore,
be it
Resolved, by the Legislature of
West Virginia, That the board of
regents be, and they are hereby di-
rected, to demand the resignation of
DR.. Raymond. to take effect not la
ter than the beginning of the spring
term in April, 1901.
By Mr.. Reynolds:
Whereas, 1t appears from the re-
port of the special committee APP
pointed by the Legislature at this
session to visit and investigate at
Morgantown, that it will be expe
'dient to abolish, in the near future,
the preparatory department OF said
university, and,
Whereas, There are no normal
school or other State school located
within one hundred miles or more OF
Keyser, in the county of Mineral, at
which pupils can be prepared for the
university; and
Whereas, The said town of Keyser
is located on the main line Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
railroad, and can be quickly reached
and communicated with by those
residing in the counties Of Mineral,
Hampshire, Hardy, Grant, Pendle
ton, Tucker, Randolph and Preston,
and
Whereas, In the location of the
various institution of the State it has
been neglected, and while contribu-
ting largely through the taxes paid
into the Treasury for the support of
the university, normal schools pre-
paratory and other State schools
and institutions, has not been pro
vided with any State institution for
the education of the children in that
section; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on
Education be instructed to inquire
into the expediency of establishing
preparatory branch of the West
Virginia University at Keyser, in
the county of Mineral, and report by
bill or otherwise.
