The 2:35 pace at the
Mason County Fair will be
a hummer, Don't miss it.

The Moundsville Herald was not
satisfied with the patronage &C.
corded its fair association by near.
by cities, and in the following
manner roasts Wheeling in con-
nection with New Martinsville:
at is a common remark among
our people that New Martinsville
and Wheeling display rather a
porkish disposition. Dozens
probably hundreds-of Marshall
county people attend the Wetzel
fair. and thousands spend their
good, dry money at the Wheeling
fair, but when the Marshall county
fair is held it would be an extreme
ly easy matter to count the Wetzel
and Ohio county people that line
up at the ticket office. Neither
county seems to believe in reci-
procity. yet our people continue to
practice it year after year without
complaining. A gentleman who
kept close tab ON matters, says
that Wetzel's contribution in at
tendance at our fair was two fakirs
and a horse trader on a comimen-
tary ticket and that of Ohio county
was a candidate for congress and
one for United States senator with
a few friends to plug for them
among the farmers.

Heavy Loss.

The big barn belonging to Hon.
James Capehart, situated on his
farm near town, was destroyed
by fire Friday night about 11:3O,
together with it's contents, some
sever or eight hundred bushels of
wheat and other grain and a
lot of farming machinery. Eads
Bros. had their threshing machine
in the barn and it was also burn ed,
which is a heavy loss to them.
The origin of the fire is unknown
We have not learned what insur-
ance was carried on the building
or machinery.

where the Capital Has Located.

The State Department at WASH
inRton has prepared an interesting
exhibit for the st. Louis fair show
ing the group of old houses where
the National capital has been To-
Gated in the times that tired mems
souls. This will be a reproduction
of buildings in the different towns,
in revolutionary times. where the
Congress of the United States held
its sessions. 1t will be news to
many that in the drift and vicisi-
tudes of war there were ten halls
in the country where the capital
was located.
The first Congress met in Car
penfer's hall, Philadelphia. 1t then
met in Congress hall. in the same
city. Afterward a session was held
in Congress hall, Baltimore, Nd.
During a troublesome period in
the Revolutionary war the United
State Congress met for one day in
the old court house in Lancaster,
which was torn down in 1853
Afterward Congress met in York,
Pa; then in Nassau hall. Prince
ton, N j.; then in the old State
House at Annapolis, Md. From
here it adjourned to meet in the
court house. Trenton. N. j. Then
it assembled at Federal hall, New
York. After a time it again was
dcmiciled in Philadelphia, and
then a little over one hundred
years ago Washington became the
stationary capital of the United
States-Pittsburg Post.

R~oustabouts Scare.

The New Orleans Picayune of a
recent date says: 1.-The steamboats,
arc having their annual trouble
with roustabouts. but this year are
getting hit harder than usual owing
to the scarcity of that kind of Ia
Dor on the river. The blacks are
now demanding and getting SIS
per month from the tributary
boats, which usually pay from $40
to $50, and from the coast packets
are asking from $50 up. Yester-
day the men demanded of the Ma
bel Comeaux S110 and all day,
which is equivalent to two days
pay for one days labor, or at the
rate of over $500 per month. Gap.
tain Comeaux, not being quite
ready to turn over the gross re.
oeipts of his boat to the roust-
abouts. very properly postponed
her departure.

a District Institute for each dis.
trict in the country, at the times
and places given below. Teachers
viii be allowed pay for attending
these Institutes, as well also school
officers, who have not already at
tended an Institute. 1 hope to get
the Reading Circle work started at
these Institutes. and will have the
books ordered at the County In
stitute ready for delivery at that
time. Let all the teachers and
school officers come out and attend,
and thus prepare for more effective
work in the school room. as it is
now more important than ever
that teachers should keep abreast
of the times. The many failures
in the Uniform Examinations show
the absolute necessity of a more
thorough preparation on the part
of our teachers.
Elk County Superintendent, B.
ii. ,Blsgg, has kindly consented to
attend these Institutes. or as many
of them as possible. and assist in
the work.
1t will be noted that a few more
