sIidell Brown Tells About the Wedding.

The REGISTER last week announced
the wedding of ]. Slidell Brown, edl-
tor of the Kingwood Argus, and Miss
Stella Maud Parsons, of Morgantown.
The Argus gives US additional partlc'
ulars of the happy event. and after
describing the charming bride thus
modestly speaks of the groom
The groom has been running at large
so long and is so we'll known that we
have nothing TO say of him, except that
he is running one of the best papers IN
the State. and the price is only one dol
lar per year, cash in advance, and now
is a good time TO subscribe.
We wondered why the wedding was
kept secret. The Argus thus tells
the reason:
lust for fun the contracting parties
concluded to keep their marriage secret
for awhile, and arranged with the clerk
not to put the license on record Tor ten
DAYS and with the minister not to make
the return for ten days. The bride was
here keeping house for us week before
anyone knew of it for sure, but as the
secret is out now, we concluded to Tess
M" and tell the truth about 1t. We
fooled the old women Of the town COM
pletely and they are mad over 1t. SO we
have the JOKE on them as well as the
boys.

In Menoriam.

With what sorrow the community for
miles around was shocked when the sad
news became known that William e..
Brantner was dead, for he was loved by
all who knew him. God called him
away before the bud had faded, for he
was just in the springtime Of manhood.
He did not think when he went home
three months ago he would be called to
another world so soon. In the family
circle he was the idol. Little did they
think that the death angel was hover
ing near, but God whispered come, ="
and the sweet spirit took its fight to the
Heavenly home on high. Farewell, dear
Will may the sod rest lightly upon
thy gentle bosom, and when spring re-
turns to deck the earth with flowers,
may he plant the purest and sweetest
on thy grave.
He passed away like gentle breath,
And his eyes are closed with the sleep OF
DEATH
The leaves on the trees will flutter and fall,
And the drifting SHOWS will cover all.
Oh, think how he suffered and bore all his
Oh, wake him not sweet spirit, TO suffer
again!
He slum bers SO sweetly, Oh let him sleep on;
Farewell, VIII, we hope TO meet,
And in one communion sweet,
Join with thee to part no more,
On the bright, celestial shore.
Bya Devoted Friend,
d. NJ. MOORE.

Governor Whites Proclamation.

Governor a. B. White of West Vir-
GINA has issued the following thanks
giving proclamation:
The President of the United States,
in accordance with custom, by procla-
nation, has requested the people OF this
nation to observe Thursday. November
twenty seventh, as day of festival and
thanksgiving to God.
West Virginia is now in the fortieth
year of its existence as a State. Born
amidst the struggles of great civil con-
flict, its earlier years gave little promise
of the fruition OF the marvellous mater
ial development and growth OF these
later years. Today West Virginia is
probably more largely in the eye OF the
business and investing world and is de-
veloping more rapidly than any of its
sister States.
So far, therefore, as material well-be-
ing is a cause for gratitude and thanks
giving, the people of this State have
much, indeed, for which to be thank
full. Fortunately our blessings are not
to be measured alone by our notable
material prosperity. AS a people we
have been protected during the past
year from pessilence and great disasters.
Good health has been our portion and
peace reigns throughout our borders.
We,have been favored soabundantly by
the Giver Of All Good that our hearts
should 60 out to Him in the spirit OF
thanksgiving and praise.
Therefore, request that upon the day
above mentioned the citizens of our
commonwealth meet in their respec-
tive places of worship and there give
thanks unto Almighty God for the great
blessings which we, as nation and
State, have enjoyed during the past
year; and may our benevolences TO
those about us less fortunate than our
selves, attest the sincere gratitude
which comes from the heart.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, at the Capitol, on the
tenth day of November, in the year OF
our Lord nineteen hundred and two, and
in the fortieth year Of the State.
ALBERT b. WHITE.
By the Governor
VIM. NJ. o. DAWSON,
Secretary of State.

THE REGISTER.

This is the last issue of the 37th
new volume of the REGISTER, and it
also celebrates the twentieth anniver-
sary of its ownership by the present
management. In November, 1882.
we bought the REGISTER from the
late John II. little. who had taken
charge of the paperin November, 1858,
when it was four years old. We are
justified in expressing the hope that
the REGISTER has filled useful part
in the twenty years we have controlled
it, and feel that it is appreciated by
the people it represents. Its circula-
ton now averages very close to 1000
each week, and in all the homes it
visits it seems to have kindly well
come. Its advertising patronage Is
larger than it has ever been, and the
growth of its job printing department
has been all we could ask. To the
friends and patrons who have contrib
uted to its prosperity, especially to
those who have been so unfaltering in
its support, we return our sincere
thanks. We have in mind some i'm
provements to the REGISTER before
long that will make it a still more
welcome visitor to its subscribers and
a greater credit to the community it
represents.

ONE of the most notable murder
trials in recent years was ended in
New York on Tuesday, when Roland
B. Molineux was acquitted Of the
crime of causing the death of Mrs.
Katharine J. Adams. In December,
1898, Harry S. Cornish received
through the mails package in sill
vel holder purporting to be headache
medicine. He thought it was a gift from
a friend. He gave some of the al
legged medicine to Mrs. Adams, an &C.
quaintance, and it caused her instant
death, for instead of being bromo-
seltzer it was cyanide of mercury. Soon
atterward Molineux, who hated Cor
nish, was arrested. In due time he
was brought to trial, and the prosecut-
ing attorney wove such net of guilt
around him, and bound him with so
complete chain of circumstantial ev-
idence, that the jury promptly found
him guilty, and he was sentenced to
be put to death in the electric chair
The case against him was perfect.
Molineux was cent to Sing Sing and
the death watch was set upon him.
His father and his friends began des-
perate efforts to save him. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court, and
a new trial was ordered. The first
Judge, who evidently had firmly be-
lieved in his guilt, and who was stern
and unfriendly in his rulings, was not
permitted to sit in the second trial.
Justice Lambert, from up the State,
was the man they wanted and he was
brought down to the city to try the
case. After the first few days it was
apparent that there would be an &C.
quittal. Judge Lambert ruled out
pretty nearly all the evidence of i'm
portance that the public prosecutor
presented, and the friends of Molineux
used their influence outside of court
to suppress and prevent testimony.
In spite of all these obstacles, States
Attorney Osborne made out strong
case against the man, and despite the
clamor raised by his friends and the
sensational efforts Of newspapers there
are thousands of persons who believe
that Molineux is guilty. The trial
had sensational ending on Tuesday,
when the jury brought in the expected
verdict OF not guilty. Newspaper re-
ports say that "men and women danced
and shouted for Joy" in the courtroom
when the verdict was announced, and
there was great gush over the affair.
Molineux, who had been in the shad-
ow of death for nearly four years,
closely confined in prison all the time,
walked forth free man.
The first trial of the case cost New
York county $4,000, and the second
$4,000. 1t is said that General Mol
ineux spent 100000 to free his. son.

THE President has made public his
strong disapproval of the project to
build up white mans Republican
party in the South, and has dismissed
the collector of internal revenue in
Alabama, who was foremost in the
movement in that State. Many of
the white Republicans in the South
think that their party would grow
more rapidly if the colored voters
were eliminated from the organization,
and what is known as the LILLY White"
party has been originated, having this
object in view. Mr.. Roosevelt says
that the colored voters must have all
the rights that a white man has, and
he proceeds to chastise the leaders of
the Lily Whites. The President has
recently appointed a negro to be col
lector of the portal Charleston. S. @.

NOTES FROM NEARBY.

That same old vein of anthracite
coal has again been discovered near
Cherry Run.
The Spirit says that Hon. Geo. R.
Vending has purchased from Geo. 81.
Hagley the lot on the corner of West
Washington street and Mt. Parvo ave-
nue. and will erect a handsome cottage
upon it.
The Winchester News.Item says
that D. P. Magruder, cashier Of the
Merchants and Farmers Bank of
Woodstock, Va, left suddenly last
Friday for parts unknown. He is
short in his accounts about 5000.
The Martinsburg World of Monday
saws that the Continental Hotel in
that place was closed Saturday night
by an order from the court. The
court appointed W. G. Kilmer and
W. W. Downey special commissioners
and substitute trustees to take i'm
mediate possession of the personal
property of John W. Dodd, proprietor
of the hotel. The object of this order
from the court was to satisfy lien Of
ST., 700, in favor of D. o. Bartles and
James Dillon and also to satisfy an
Indebtedness of $4,000 due to D. NJ.
and J. II. Shatfer. An inventory of
the personal property was made
Tuesday and under the law will
be sold by the commissioners after ad-
vertising the property four weeks.
An echo of the recent campaign
was heard in front of Hotel Berkeley
in Martinqburg Friday evening. Ward
B. Lindsay, who was elected to the
position of prosecuting attorney, was
sitting in the lobby Of the hotel when
Walter Russell came through and
asked Mr.. Lindsay to come outside.
Mr.. Lindsay complied with the request
and stepped to the door. After few
words of conversation Russell struck
the prosecuting attorney blow with
his fist, telling him to the ground.
Bystanders say this was followed by
further blows until the assailant was
pulled away. The affair caused con-
siderable excitement and it is under
stood that the States attorney will
prosecute his assailant.-MartlnSJat

Want Rector to Give an Account.

A sensational suit has been insti-
tuted at Moundsville, this State, against
Rev. B. NJ. Spur, rector of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church, by the
vestry thereof to compel the defend
ant to make an accounting of funds he
is alleged to have received as dona-
tons to Reynolds Memorial Hospital.
The vestry assert that with their
approval the rector secured in his
name the deed to the land on which
Reynolds Hospital, an institution that
cost probably $4,000, is located, that
he has since the establishment of the
hospital resided there and collected
large sums from patients besides re-
ceiving donations Of several thousand
dollars, all of which he refuses to ac-
count for. The vestry, besides an ac-
counting, wants the rector removed
from the hospital and the confrma-
ton of their alleged right to the prop
erty.
The present situation has existed
for the past six years, and while no
definite sum is named in the bill, it is
believed the amount will aggregate
far up in the thousands. The hospit-
al and charitable work conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Spur have been the most
extensive under the auspices OF the
church in the South. The present
suit was precipitated to some extent
by recent trouble between the rector
and his wife, which eliminated in
their separation. Charges affecting
the rector's personal life are now pend
ing before the diocesan authorities.

Danger Signal in the Alps.

According to the international agree
ment recently made in regard TO the
danger signal in the Alps, six shots or
movements of light will be recognized
as call for assistance. In cases of
stomach, liver and bowel troubles, it is
always wise to heed the first danger sig
nal, and give Nature the assistance she
is calling for. The best medicine to aid
the stomach in digesting the food, to
stir up the liver, or to open up the clog
ged bowels, is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
Gers. 1t is backed by record of fifty
years of cures. Be sure to try the Bit
tiers if you are a sufferer from indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, tiatulency, constipation
or biliousness. Our private stamp is

Only
Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most i'm
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world - only one or two I'M
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
BY far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Vinol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful it has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vinol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and a little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, ETC., and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
help you.

THERE are indications that some of

however, is not owing to any fear of

they are so scandalously over-capital-
