It is reported that ]. Pierport Nor.

1t is reported thatJ. Pierport Nor
gan. the New York millionaire, will
visit Winchester in the near future
and erect handsome monument over
the grave of his ancestor, Gen. Daniel
Morgan, of Revolutionary War fame.
The grave is in Hebron Cemetery.
Nothing remains of the fiat stone which
covered it but few scattered frag-
ments, the rest having been carried
away. Daniel Morgan was the noted
commander of the Virginia Rlfemen.
He was among the first to offer his
services to the Colonies and command
ed a regiment in Arnold's expedition
to Canada and endured with his troops
the perils and hardships of that cam
paign. At Saratoga also he rendered
distinguished service at the head Of
his rifemen, and after the surrender
General Burgoyne said to him "Sir,
You command the finest body Of men
in the world" General Morgan was
the victor at Cowpens, where he de-
feated the noted Tsrleton, and this
battle alone would have made him ia
nous for all time. After the Revolu-
ton Morgan returned to Winchester
and dwelt there until his death, in
1902.

GAG Lives Lost.

One of the worst ocean disasters
ever recorded occurred Tuesday Of
last week, when the steamship Norge,
bound from Copenhagen for New
York, was lost. While steaming in
the North Sea the Norge, having lost
her course in fog, struck upon the
rocky island known as Rockall Reef,
300 miles off the coast of Scotland.
There were TIA souls aboard, includ-
ing the crew, most of them Danes,
Norwegians, Swedes and Firms bound
for the United States. The ship struck
upon the rocks, STAYING in her bows,
and in y minutes she sank to the bot
tom. Nearly all of the people aboard
went down with her, only 1913 persons
being saved by her boats. Three boat
loads were rescued, after great expos.
ure, but it is believed the other GAG
persisted.

President Roosevelt has gone to his
summer home at Oyster Bay to spend

The first passenger train on the
Wabash Railroad left Pittsburg last
Saturday afternoon. 1t has been a
long, desperate and costly fight to gain
entrance into Pittsburg, but George
Gould has won. despite the bitter OPP
position of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mrs. Mary J. Mendenhall, widow
of Uberto Mendenhall, pioneer miller
and one of the wealthiest men OF
Morgan county, West Virginia, died
at Berkeley Springs, aged II years.
Mrs. Mendenball owned the extensive

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
sees the Maryland Jim Crow" car
law and goes it one better. This
railroad extends from Winchester, Va,
to Harrisburg, Pa, running 9 miles
in Virginia, 80 miles in West Virginia
(which has no "Jim-Crow" law, IA
miles in Maryland, and thence on
into Pennsylvania. The same coaches
are used through to the Pennsylvania
terminus and the railroad officials will
operate them through the whole ter
ritory and require passengers TO OBJ
serve the same regulations in West
Virginia and Pennsylvania as if
"Jim. Grow" law was in force.
Because Mrs. J. W. Fix, wife of a
farmer of Wileyville, this State, re-
fused to cook him breakfast an I'M
known tramp blew off the top Of her
head with shotgun. The man ap-
peared at the Fix homestead just after
the farm hands had finished breakfast
and asked for something to eat. He
was offered cold meat, bread and but
ter, but refused that, and in threaten
ing terms insisted that she prepare
hot meal. He became impudent and
she ordered him from the premises.
Knowing that she was at his mercy,
he pushed by her, seized shotgun
and shot her head almost from her
shoulders. News Of the murder spread
rapidly and men are securing the
country in search of the murderer.
So intense is the feeling against him
that lynching may follow the capture.

A REPORT comes from Clarksburg
that State Senator Harvey W. Harmer,
a well-known Republican, has gone
over to the Prohibitionists. Senator
Harmer, while stalwsrt Republican,
has been man who thought for him
self on public questions, and has al
ways maintained his independence in
matters where principle was atstake.
He was recently candidate for re-
nomination for the State Senate, but
was defeated by the opponents of tax
reform and the saloon element. 1t is
known that he was disguised at the
methods used to defeat him, and we
shouldn't wonder if it is true that he
has quit the party. The prohibition
lists have nominated him for the State
Senate, and it is said that he will &C
cept.

Home Seekers
and
Business T1en!

AS location in which to make a
permanent home, there is no city IN
West Virginia as attractive as Par
kersburg. The best advertisement
the city has is that new corners like
it and few people move away from
the city. 1t is the only city in the
State that has location that will nat
urally force it to be great city. To
appreciate the attractiveness Of this
place it is only necessary to come here
and visit the city for day.
For the man who wants to 60 into
business, there is no more attractive
location than Parkersburg. Business
is always good here. The rapid growth
of the city constantly affords new open
ings for the business man and lnves-
tor.
Our business is to supply new-com-
ers with homes, lots on which to build,
profitable business establishments that
may be bought, and desirable invest
ments for those having money that
they want to put out proftably.
We want you to write us and also
to make our Office your headquarters
when you come to the city.

We never did believe much in the
doctrine of protection-much less in
the Over-prOtectiOn that has been af-
forded the negro brute Williams dur
ing the past ten days. We think he
should have been landed in the
Charles Town Jail as soon as he was
arrested, and then the officers should
have seen to it that the jail was held
against any prospective mob that
might assail it.
The county will have tremendous
bill Of expenses for hauling the pris-
oner around the country, all of which
might have been saved by the exercise
ofgood judgment and official frmness
1t is not strange that the people
are indignant at the way in which
this matter has been conducted.

Ace Of London Bridge.

London Bridge will be seventy-three
years old on August lst, for it was on
that date 1881 that it was formally
opened by the King and Queen of Eng
land. The famous American remedy
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is now in
its 51st year, being first introduced in
1853, and when you consider the fact
chat it has been before the public con-
tinuously all those years you must real
ize the merit it contains, without which
it would have failed long ago. Today,
however, finds 1t more popular than
ever, especially among men and women
who suffer from poor appetite, cramps,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation or malaria.
Don't fail to try it. The genuine has
our private stamp over the neck Of the
bottle,

RattIesnakss in Express Car.

Express Messenger W. E. Turner,
in charge of the express car on the
Baltimore and Ohio train No. AZ, had
a thrilling experience with a box OF
rattlesnakes between Washington and
Martinsburg yesterday morning, and
as a result was driven from one of the
compartments of the car by the dead
" reptiles. The snakes were re-
ceived by him at Philadelphia and
were billed to a point in the West.
After the train had left Washington
he opened the compartment in which
the box had been placed and discov-
cred that they had escaped and were
crawling over and between the pack
ages and boxes in that part Of the car.
The reptiles were not inclined to
retreat and showed fight, whereupon
Mr.. Turner hastily quit that part Of
the car and shut and locked the door.
When the train reached Martinsburg
an attempt was made to get the ex-
press packages out of that part Of the
car occupied by the snakes, but only
a portion of the express matter was
taken out. At other points along the
road the snakes resisted all attempts
to remove the packages, and the ex-
press messenger was compelled to
carry many bundles past their destin-
alton. He stated that when the train
reached Pittsburg an effort would be
made to recapture the reptiles, and,
failing in this, they would be killed.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton met in st. Louis yesterday. 1t
was called to order by Chairman
James X. Jones, of the national COM
mittee, who named Congressman John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, as
temporary chairman, Mr.. Williams
made an eloquent and sarcastic speech
in which he lambasted President
Roosevelt and the Republican admin
istration. When the name of Grover
Cleveland was mentioned there was a
whirlwind of applause that lasted
fifteen minutes. Later Mr.. Bryan
was cheered quite heartily. The con-
vention meets today to nominate the
candidates and adopt the platform.
The indications seem to be that
Judge Parker, Of New York, will be
nominated for President.

John Wright, young farmer living
near Arcadia, Kansas, accompanied
by younger brother, called on the
sheriff end asked permission to ad-
minister chloroform to his aged father,
who is dying from cancer on the
tongue. "MY father is living skele-
ton and the doctor tells US there is no
hope for cure" said young Wright.
He does not weigh 40 pounds with
his clothes on, although he once
weighed at least four times that amount.
My mother is dying from grief over
fathers condition. He cannot talk,
but has asked us by signs to be re.
lieved This suffering with chloroform. "
Never having been asked to pass on
such case, Sheriff Tompkins was at
loss as to how to advise the young
man, and with his younger brother
Wright returned to Arcadia heart
broken for fear the suffering of his
father might cause him to lose his
mother also.

THE Republican State convention
will meet in Wheeling next Tuesday,
and the most strenuous political fight
that this State has ever known will
take place between W. NJ. o. Dawson
and Chas. F. Teter, the rival candi-
dates for Governor. We believe that
neither of these gentlemen can be
elected if nominated, but a compro-
mise candidate doesn't seem possible,
as Mr.. Dawson absolutely declines to
consider any proposition looking to
withdrawal. All the other candidates
for State Offices are lost sight Of in the
fight for Governor.

Beware Of 0intments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
OF smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tion from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney Il Co., Toledo, o., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. In buying

A fearful crime is reported from
Burlington, New Jersey. Mrs. Charles
Biddle, the pretty young wife of a
farmer Of that place, was at her home
near the iowa the other day, alone
except for the presence of her little
baby. Three negroes made their ap-
pearance, and after stealing all the
money they could find they brutally
outraged the detenceless woman, leav-
ing her half dead. A number of ar
rests have been made, and the woman
has identified one of her assailants.
The people of the community are
terribly worked up over the hideous
crime.

OUR county commissioners are to be
highly commended for their decision
to continue the good roads plans which
they have been pushing for the past
year or two. The accident that cost
two lives, wrecked a bridge and
damaged the road-makiDg machinery
was most regrettable, but we are glad
the commissioners have not permitted
it to interfere with the making Of
good roads. They met the emergency
promptly and with practical good
sense, and our people will commend
them for keeping right on with their
plans for public improvement.

IT looks as if the limit has been
reached in corrupt politics in the nom
nation by the Republicans last week
Of man by the name of Bennett for
Judge of the tenth judicial circuit OF
this State. Bennett is under indict-
ment for emb' zzlement of public funds
in Fayette county, says the Monroe
Watchman. and his decision as CHM
inal Judge in favor of the pernicious
gambling devices known as slot ma
chimes and their owners is surrounded
with the ugliest suspicious. His
whole career has been full of sinister
features which compel profound pub
lie distrust. The Hinton Daily NeWs
says that at is openly charged that
Bennett bought enough delegates to
secure his nomination. Nineteen Of the
delegates, it is charged, were saloon
lists or their clerks were, and it is fur
Their stated that thirteen Of his dele
gates are now under indictment, five
of them being for felony and the re-
naming eight for misdemeanor.
If the people of the tenth circuit vote
such a man into office they are de-
serving of the disgrace that they will
bring upon themselves. And yet it
must be pretty rough for decent folks
to share such obloquy.

ONE thing is sure-therell be no
trouble in spotting the fellows who
sell out in the Republican State con-
vention next week. The lines have
been SO sharply drawn, and SO many
counties have instructed their dele
gates, that those who betray their
constituents can readily be named.
Still, there are good many politi-
clans who don't give rap who knows
of their dishonesty, just SO they get
the Doodle.
