II the reader wants stronger proof
than the following statement and ex-

what can it be?
E. B. Hall, proprietor Of the flour
and feed store over the river says: If

that of sharp piercing nature or dull

the lannoyance quickly and quiet

Kidney Pills procured at j, M. Reed

the case Of Mrs. Hall then that far
too prevalent annoyance would cease

THERE is much building In progress
in the city, but we could stand still
more tearing down and building up.
THIS morning one Of the workmen
on the street car track on High street
struck water pipe aud punctured IT,
The water spouted forty or fifty feet
high for an hour or so.
WE would be glad II those gentle
men would hurry up thai trolley line
to Cheat and have it running this
summer. A great many other people
would also like to see 1T. The road
will surely be built sooner or later.
CONTRACTOR DEAN is getting along
famousiy with the work on the trolley
line They say the ears will be run
ming on Commencement Day. If per-
chance the power house is not COM
pleted he intends to use horses. lie
will use four or siY horses to car. So
we can depend on seeing the cars In
service whether the power house is
ready for work or not.
Down at California a premium is
offered to the family that will keep
the neatest, prettiest and cleanest
back yard during the year. The move
is a very commendable one, and might
be tried to advantage in other places.
We would like to see it tried in Nor
gantown.
IT is announced that bids will be-
taken for the construction OF the Wa
bash through Greene county by the
close of this month. Contractors are
now going over the route, and will be
ready to submit bids within very few
days. 1t looks as though the Wabash
would soon be reality.
SOME very good strs wberries have
been in market at prices ranging from
% to 35 cents per box. They are OF
good quality, and the prices are not
regarded as especially excessive. There
is difference OF opinion as to the
outlc ok for the local crop, some grow
ers saying they will be few, while 9TH
ers think there will be abundance.
JAS. MoRELAND was the first Nor
gantown man to take a seat In one o.
the cars to be used on the trolley line
! Two of the cars was recently shipped
and set on the siding at VanYoorhls
James recently had an errand to ina
place, and for the romance or tn'
thing, climbed into one OF them AMI
took a seat. The car did not NOV
much on this occasion, but Jim hope
soop to take the same seat when th
car is put into commission.
UNLESS all signs fail there are great
er things in store for Morgantowr
than she has yet had. A few OF GU
more conservative citizens are some
what anxious for fear there should b,
a reaction in the business world, ant
some Of them might get hurt. THAI
is not the way to look at the situation
Everyone has faith IN the future o.
the town, and it should always bt
borne in mind that even general de
preston in business could hurt US less
than almost any other place. Tht
only way to succeed is to look on the
bright side. Morgantown will grow
and there is no way to prevent it.

THIRTY POUND PIKE
Landed by Lad FrsT the West Side
on Sunday = Big Crowd Watches him
Land the Fish.

Sunday afternoon a West side lad
landed a thirty pound pike near the
wharf He had been fishing and his
line lay idly across the boat and down
the river. He thought that he would
start for home Starting to pull up
his line be was surprised TO find that
he had hooked a whale and railroad
train not to mention several other
furms OF motive power.
The boat ran out into the river and
up and down. Everyone who was
watching had a different plan OF cam
paign to give the lad who kept cool ID
pulling in his line.
Finally the fish was landed in the
boat. It was then taken 10 shore
where he was examined thoroughly.
1t was a monster pike and weighed
thirty pounds. No one knew the boy
who had landed him. Some say his
name is West.
At any rate he went home with the
fish he had caught on Sunday and
judging from his expression be did not
regard it as bad luck to catch fish Of
that kind on Sunday

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
A WISE CHOICE.

The recent selection of ex-Secretary of
State Fred A. Rowland as attorney for
the National Life Insurance company is
consistent with the policy of that pro-
gressive institution 10 seeking the SER
vices of young men of undoubted ability
in its various departments. Recognition
of young men and deserved promotions
are perhaps two of the principal reasons
for the remarkable grow tn of this great
financial institution. The law firm of
Dillingham;, Huse & Rowland, of Mont
pelier, has been one of the strongest in
the state for some years. The election
of Mr.. Dillingham; to the United States
senate, and the death of Mr.. Huse left
the burden of the business on Mr.. How
land. Now he has accepted position
which probably no lawyer in active prac-
tice in the state would have refused, and
the old law firm is practically thing of
the past.-Northfield News.
