THE GREAT LAFAYETrE.

Lafayette, whose vaudeville company
is on the boards ut the Grand all this
week, giving two performances each day,
not only excells in legerdemain, but he is
an expert in limitations and quick
changes. His entertainment is the pro-
duct of his brain, and his conceptions.
from the standpoint of stagecraft, bear
the stamp of genius. Everything he
does is exceedingly clever His Lions
Bride" is very mystifying, and ii is bit
of stage realism that is notable. The
company with which Lafayette has sur.
rounded himself this season, gives a,
diversified program, each number of
which might well be a top.liner with
some rather pretentious vaudeville or
carnations. A large audience Is pres

An item of $50. 900 for the st. Louis

An item of $4,000 for the st. Louis
Exposition appears in the appropria-
tions bill introduced in the Legislature.
1t is always a good thing to advertise
the state, but we doubt very much the
propricty of spending a large amount
of money in this way. Expositions are,
perhaps, good things, but as advertising
mediums they amount to little. As a
rule those who 80 to them have only
faint recollection of what they saw
there and, while West Virginia might
make n very creditable showing with
$4,000, yet it would not be able to at
tract any particular attention. The de-
velopment of the state the past few
years, which has been the most marvel
GUS in my state in tho union. was not
the result of any such advertising. Ii
will not do West Virginia vast amount
of good TO be represented at st. Louis
and We doubt very much the wisdom of
making m appropriation for that pur-
pose. The money would be far better
spent in legitimate advertising.

The city water works nre getting to
be n Jonah. They should not have TO be
shut down every time cold snap comes.
The Taxpayers do not like to pay I'M
necessary plumbers bills. They come
too high. The water works should be
kept in operation all the time. If they
are not in condition to do that, 1t il
high time they were being put in that
condition. The citizens of Clarksburr
are getting weary of the way they arc
being conducted. 1t is entirely too cx.
pensive TO them. The city council should
look into the matter Mt once. The peo-
pie of this city have exercised n great
deal of forbearancc in the matter. The
revenues of the city have been large and
a portion should have been devoted to
getting the water works in shape to
serve the people all and not only a part
of the time. The people demand that
the water works be put in condition for
use all the time, and they ask that they
be kept running all the time. IT is an
outrage that they are not run all the
time. The practice of shutting them
down in cold weather is fearfuliy dan
gerous and very costly.

'sPrfthee, son Of toll, but what sort of

Sure. but it's . harbed wire fence,
your Hfghness,' was the answer. That
is to say. the wires have chin whiskers

And what's the object -
ITO keep stray COWS out of the field
When they run uo again the whiskers
they stop in surprise"
Il dunno about that" unused the
