Governor White Inaugurated.

Hon. Albert Blakeslee White was
inaugurated as Governor Of West Vir-
ginia at Charleston on Monday last.
The rain interfered greatly with the
pleasure of the affair, but the cersmo-
MES were carried out as planned. The
exercises took place at the capitol af-
ter procession of military and civic
societies had escorted the officials from
their hotel. The retiring Governor,
Hon. G. W. Atkinson, in pleasing
speech, introduced his successor, and
after Mr.. Whites inaugural address
Judge Henry Brannon, president OF
the West Virginia Supreme Court,
stepped forward and in addressing
Governor White said to him that the
Bible he held in his hand belonged to
Governor Whites daughter, who
wished that the Judge would use it in
the ceremony. The Governor placed
both hands on the book, and when the
oath was administered he bent for
ward and reverently kissed the book
with moisture in his eyes. Miss
White sat in front of her father and
seemed affected with the solemn SER
vices.
At night grand ball and recep-
ton were held in the capitol, many
prominent persons from various Sec
tons of the State being present.

Mr.. EDITORIAL our former corpora
ton elections we have found some votes
lost, contrary to the wishes of the voters,
who evidently made mistake in pre-
pairing their tickets. Now then, let us
correct this error at our coming election
next Monday. You Will find that the
ticket will read, Against License" and
"For License" When person first
glances at the ticket he will be confused.
If he wants to vote against license, that
will be the only question on his mind,
and he will read Against License" then
will say Yes, that is what want :
and often scratch Against License
and leave "For License" remain. OF
course that will count one for the saloon
and one against temperance. If you
want to vote against the saloon, scratch
out "For License" and let Against Ii
cense" remain. If you are not satisfied
do not hesitate to ask for instruction.
TEMPERANCE,

EDITOR OF THE REGISTER PLEASE al
low me few lines in your valuable pa
per to express my very pleasant disap-
pointment and my admiration OF the
performance of the Confederate troupe
in Shepherdstown on last Saturday
night.
was asked to go to the play, but l at
first did not care to see it. ] had seen
Jenny Lind dance and sing when she
was in her prime; had seen Fanny
Elsler when she set New York in blaze
of admiration at the magnificence Of
her performances l had seen Maggie
Mitchell when she held Baltimore spell
bound with wonder and delight and |
saw Miss - pardon the omission Of
the nom de deplume) while she played
in Richmond, Va, and In Wilmington,
N. c., to the delight of the officers and
men Of the Confederacy, that cheered
them to deeds of bravery, while her
modesty, virtue and skill told that she
was peerless on the American continent.
After once having been so delighted by
those magnificent players, thought
perhaps, might not enjoy it,: But, oh,
how delighted, how joyfully l was dis
appointed.
The first lady that came upon the
stage seemed to possess all the requisites
OF an accomplished actress. Her move
ments were graceful elegant and dig
nified. looked at the programme to
see who it was. but the light was shaded
and could not tell. The next lady TO
enter was her peer in every accomplish
ment, and so it was with the entire
auartette of ladies' The matron, the
daughters and the ladylike and refined
housemaid, all bore unmistakable evil
dence of the true southern refinement
and gentility, for their every move was
full of grace and every smile a charm.
Let me describe but one scene. II
will portray the whole drama, and 1T so
often really occurred, as | can truly
bear witness, when the invader of her
home had the audacity to offer her the
safety of her home and her person by
the sacrifice of her honor. | saw the
spirit of lofty patriotism mantled in her
cheek, and the fire of conscious virtue
kindle in her eye, as she flung her finger,
the emblem of scorn, in his teeth, and
her contempt of death in the defense
Of her home. her virtue and honor, and
and her readiness to die in the defense
OF her home and her constitutional
rights, which she knew had been three
times denied to her ancestors by those
who were invading her home.
AS to the gentlemen, have only to
say that they were the peers of the la
dies In every particular, and that both
officers aud privates played their parts
well and skillfully, with solderly bear
ing and dignity. And also those who
played the parts of the intelligent dark
les were all that admiration could de-
sire. They need have no fear to meet
any intelligent and refined audience any
where. L. f.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all It's stages. and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-

treatment. Hall S Catarrh Cure is taken

1t has Just leaked out that at the next
session Of the Legislature an attempt
will be made to have the State capital
moved from Charleston to Elkins. 1t is
said that an offer of $500, 600 will be
made for the location Of the capital
there and that that amount can easily
be raised for the purpose, among the
residents of Elkins being Senator Elkins,
ex-senator Henry g. Davis and Hon. Il.
G. Kerens, all of whom are wealthy and
could readily advance the sum men
toned if il were necessary. In connec-
ton with the rumor that they are ready
to give that amount and pay all the eX-
penses of moving the capital. so that the
transfer into the buildings as good as
those now in use will cost the State
nothing, it. is stated that the Elkins sup
porters are preparing already to begin
their fight for the capital, and that long
before the nominations are made for
the next Legislature they will have men
picked out and will know how all the
candidates stand on the matter of re-
moval. While the place is al present
rather inaccessible, the people in favor
of that place state that upon the COM
pletion OF the connection between the
West Virginia Central and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, now under construc-
ton, the town will be as centrally To-
Gated as any other place in the State.
We find the above item in a recent
exchange. We rather like the idea Of
having the capital at Elkins. The
thriving town on the top of the Allie
ghenies would be singulsrly appropri-
ate for the capital of our Mountain
State, and in our opinion vast i'm
provement over the muddy town on
the unclassic waters of the Kanawha
We are for Elkins.

THE INAUGURATION.

The weather tomorrow (Monday),
March 4th, will be the finest ever ex-
perienced on the Inauguration ola Pres
ident. The sky surely will be clear ana
the temperature warm and balmy.
This was the bulletin given out by
Willis L. Moore, chief Of the United
States weather, bureau Sunday night
And the next day it rained and hailed
and showed and the weather did just
what it wished to do.
But presidential inaugurations are
not postponed on account of the wealth
err, and William Mckinley was In
Quoted into the high Office of Presi-
dent of the United States the second
time in accordance with the Constitu-
tion-or, rather, what is left of that
venerable document. Washington
was, of course, filled with people from
all parts of the country. The city
was gaily decorated with flags and
bunting and brilliant with electric
lights at night. Pennsylvania avenue
was a superb sight.
The President drove to the capitol
in the morning about II o'clock for
the inaugural ceremonies. He was
escorted by a splendid procession OF
soldiers and civic organizations, and
was under the wing of Mark Hanna,
who rode with him in the carriage
drawn by four horses. Mark looked
unctuous and happy. The popularity
of the President was manifest, so was
the curiosity of the people to see Mr.
Hanna. Admiral Dewey and Gener-
al Miles rode together in carriage
and made a fine show in their gold
lace and gorgeous uniforms.
After Vice President Roosevelt had
been sworn in as the official boss OF
the Senate, the great throng of dis
tinguished persons moved to the big
stands in front Of the capitol, where
thousands of people were patiently
waiting to see the formal ceremony OF
Inauguration. The oath of office was
administered by Chief Justice Fuller,
and as the President kissed the Bible,
which had been opened at random,
his lips pressed these words from the
10Th chapter Of Proverbs;
He that handleth matter wisely shall
find good and whose truSteth in the
Lord, happy is he.
The wise in heart shall be called pru-
dent and the sweetness of the lips in
creaseth the learning.
About the time the President began
his inaugural address it began to rain,
but he delivered his speech in full.
He indicated his purpose to direct the
governmental policy in the lines here
tofore followed, and spoke Of the diff
fculties besetting the government in
the settlement Of the serious questions
now confronting it. 1t was model
address, as most of the Presidents
public utterances are.
After the inaugural Ger emonies the
great procession started up the ave-
nue.. By this time, however, the cold,
persistent rain had dampened the fine
feathers of the paraders and disgusted
and chilled the spectators, and this
feature of the day was not greatly
enjoyed.
The ball at the pension building at
night was a gay and brilliant affair,
and was attended by many thousands
of persons.
We are not too partisan in our pol
itics to wish for the President any
thing but a prosperous and successful
administration.

Still More Counterfeitina.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band OF counterfeiters and Sc
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things of
great value are always selected by coun-
terfeiters for imitation, notably the Gel,

which has many imitators but no equals
for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
nervousness and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the stom-
