MILL SELL WINE.
Grand Finale for This Term of
Court Saturday.

offered at Public Anction-ttne of ..
c. Lyons Assets-Some Interesting
Things in Connection with Decree
of Court.
One grand and glorious eelebra-
ton. in which all the members Of
the bar, officers OF the court, jury
men, and privileged spectators get
thoroughly and everlasting mum
dated is to end the present term OF
the Circuit court. just to show that
there is no hard feeling, Attor-
new Geo. c. Baker, has obtained a
decree to sell seventy gallons of good
grape wine at the front door OF the
court house next Saturday. Think
of it! Seventy gallons, The Bar
Association has formed pool and
will bid it ia at any price.
Coming down to hard facts, the
decree OF sale for the wine was given
by Judge Mason this morning in the
case of S. s. Dusenberry We j. G.
Lyons ct al. Lyons it will be remem-
bered was in the employ of the Nor
gantown Wholesale Grocery Com
pany. He skipped out leaving a lot
of unrepaid debts, sticking the com
paDy it is said, for over $4,000. S. S.
Dnsenberry and others had to pay
some notes on which they were en-
dorsers. Suit of attachment in
Chancey was brought and 40 gall
Ions of wine, and enc driving horse
for which Lyans is said to have paid
$500 were attached.
How did Lyons come to have so
mnch wine? A car load of grapes
purchased by the company were on
the point of spelling, and in order to
save something from the consign-
ment, they were made into wine
which Mr.. Baker insists is good.
An interesting point in connection
with tue sale, is that settled by Hon.
Thomas E. Davis, internal revenue
collector for West Virginia. In re
Spouse to an inquiry Mr.. Davis
states that it is perfectly legal for a
sheriff or other officer to sell wine
under court decree in quantities
not less than 20 gallons, at public
aution, but not private sale. Mr..
Davis also states another fact not
generally known, namely, that it is
legal for any person to sell wine
made from his own grapes.
1t is rumored that Sheriff Green
berry Barrickman has been trying
to buy in the whole lot privately,
and that he intends to stand treat to
the whole array of attorneys and
court officers. We would suggest
that if Prosecutor Goodwin is can
didate for reelection here is the
chance of lifetime to make himself
solid with the populace. john Shriv-
er might take the same hint. Col.
Frazer will be asked to pass upon
the quality Of the stuff.

NEW GAS CONTRACTS
Causing Trouble-customers
Object to Signing.

Clanse Relieving the Company from
LiabiIity-Statemen from the Com
pany-Contract are In Force Else
where Inspection being Made-con-
sumers Can Burn Coal.
A good deal Of talk has been heard
lately in regard to the new gas con-
contracts which the Union Utility
company has been asking its custo
mers to sign. Some of them have
objected to signing the contracts on
account of a clause which relieves
the company from all liability for
damages from fire or explosion that
might result from the use of the gas.
A representative of this paper
called at the Office of the company
to day and inquired into the matter.
II was stated that the contracts
which customers have been asked to
sign, and which have been sigeed,
are similar to those used by all
gas companies In other towns. 1t
was further stated that the contracts
should nave been used long before
this. Heretofore the company had
been lacing the names Of the custo-
mers on the books, with the amount
Of gas used, and allowing it to rest
al that. The company claims to he
doing just what it was its privilege
to do long ago.
IL was stated also at headquarters
that the purpose OF the present Wis
its of a representative of the COM
pany to the customers was largely
to make an inspection--to see that
the amount of gas being used is not
more than is being paid for He is
taking the contracts with him, and
securing the signatures, with the
number of fires and similar data.
The alternate offered to the con-
sumner who will not sign the con-
tract, 10 to burn coal or wood. 1t
was stated at the company's office
that no attempt would be made to
force anyone to sign, and that con
sumers who did not care to do so,
could burn coal. OF course, about
80 out of 100 people do not relish
such an alternative.
There has been much talk about
the new contracts, and some who
have not been asked to do 80 de-
clare they will not sign them.

THEY ALL SAY so.
Not Only in Morgantown but in Every

If the reader took the time and
trouble to ask his fellow residents OF
Morgantown the simple question given
below he would obtain the one answer.
II he would read the statements now
being published in Morgantown which
refer to this answer, it would surprise
him to notesthat they number so many.
AS many more could be, and may be,
published, but in the meantime ask
the first person you meet, what cures
bacKache? The answer will be Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is citizen who
endorses our claim:
Albert Fortney, merchant of the
firm of Werner Fortney s. Co. resi-
dence II Union st. says: "a case
very recently came to my attention
where Doan's Kidney Pills procured
at J. M. Reed & Co.'S drug store, act
ed very promptly, in at first relieving
and finally stopping dull aching in
the small of the back. He is an en-
ploye Of ours and the cure is the oppo-
site Of imaginary. In addition to
that have heard others speak very
decidedly about the benefits received
from the use Of Doan's Kidney Pills.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION
The warbling post-oftice inspector
whose echoing carol sounded down
the columns of yesterdays NFw
DOMINION possibly was unable to
keep to the beaten track of truth.
1t is even probable that he would
not know whether he travelled on the
straight road or in the ditch.
However, though no scruples bur-
dened his conscience, he should not
so far have convicted himself of
classifying as to say that postal
service which some scores of people
were trying to preserve as good
enough for them, was the worst in
the United States.
What rhapsody, Sir Inspector,
do you do injustice to by such a
conclusion as "but you will get no
information out of mep'
All! How sad is the emptiness
thereof.

SOUTH PARK EXTENSION
Of Street Car Line-Proposed
by Union Utility Company.

Want to Reach Enclide Avenue With
ont 1rasersing kingweod Street
Some Oppositien--New street open.
ed which They Want to Use.
The new bridge across Decker
creek from Walnus street to Green
mont is nearly finished. The ravine
is SPAWNED, and it now remains TO
put down the girder andsshoor. This
has been more than hall completed.
The Union Utility has plan for
extending the street car line into
South Park, as soon as the bridge
is finished. They have enough ma
terial to lay about a half mile of
track and want to use it. Some op
position has been encountered, but
they hope to remove this and lay the
track this fall.
The original intention of the COM
pany was to turn to the left after
crossing the bridge, and going north
east 20 Kingwood street, thence west
and around to the car barn. To
lay the half mile of track mp King
wood street, to Euclid avenue, IS
impracticablc on account OF two
steep grades encountered.
The proposition now is to extend
the line from the end of the bridge
up a new street just laid out and not
yet open, parallel to Kingwood
street, across White avenue to Euclid
Avenue, thence south on Euclid
Avenue to Grand street.
They propose in this manner to
place the cars within easy seach of
all of the residents of South Park.
A station will be provided at the
corner of Enelid Avenue and Grand
street. They will run car every
twenty or twenty five minutes.
In traversing the new street lot
belonging to J. W. Wiles will be en-
countered. 1t is understood that
Mr. Wiles will not oppose The new
line. and If other property owners
who are interested will consent, the
line will be bHfft this fall.

ONE great reasonfor the success of
the Acme book store is its careful,
methodical and persistent advertising.
It's management has an exceedingly
intelligent idea on this subject and
skill enough in its use TO secure the
best results.
ABOUT thirty gentlemen of this
city have entered into an agreement
to build a large summer club house
either few miles above or below
town on the river. The railroad and
slackwater will make it convenient of
|occess In either direction. The To-
cation will depend somewhat on the
price Of the location.
The w. d j. foot ball team ven
tured to play game away from

the University Reserys usually have

THE Kingwood Argus says The
buckwheat crop is not as good this
year as usual, 1t did not fill
out well and In some parts OF the
county was only half crop. In other
sections it was fairly good. A great
deal of buckwheat flour is made In
this county and shipped to all parts Of
the country. The mills at Terra Alta
make speciality of it and have big
trade. 1t is thought that buckwheat
will be higher than usual this fall, land
it will be little above the usual price
Ia this county on account of the short
crop, but as the price of buckwheat is
regulated in New York, and as the
crop in that state is very heavy, the
price will not be affected by the short
crop In this county. 1t may not be
generally known that more buckwheat
is grown in the State Of New York
than IN any other State, and Preston
county does not lead after all in this
line.

Times Finds Much Good In SlackWater

The Fairmont Times still finds
reason to rejoice over having slack
water there. 1t says:
She Stacking of the Monongahela
river just at the time the feat was
accomplished was welcomed by the
manager and employees of the Barns
vile Manufacturing Company's big
wooden mill at Evansville, for had
not the waters of Buffalo creek been
raised on the day they were, the
mills would have been compelled to
close for the lack of water for the
boilers and wash rooms.
The creek has been low for some
time. and the latter part of last
week saw it almost dry. The big
tank of the company was empty and
there was nothing left to do but to
close down operations. This would
have taken place on Monday morn
ing had not the river backed up,
filling the creek with water.

Union, Hamilton Cooperative Trades

which advertises in it, and ordered
that interference of every sort with
the company's business must stop
