Here With the Goods


The MARTINEZ Water Company is
about ready to deliver water to its
subscribers. The pipe is laid into
Martinez, and short lines of pipe
will be laid by the subscribers to
their various premises. The diff
ference which this will make in
the conveniences of the town will
be very noticeable. The company
is saving wood and saying nothing,
but the public sees the beginning
of what is one day to be a splendid
water system.

SUBJECT OF THE SKETCH
TODAY.

OF all the citizens of Fairmont who
are engaged in the retail trade, there
is possibly none more widely and ia
vorably known than Samuel B. Ise.
man, the subject of this sketch.
Mr.. Iseman was born at Marion
Court House, S. c., where he spent
life. Being of an ambitious nature he
was quick to take advantage of OPP
portunities that presented themselves
| to him, and SO he decided that to be
a successful business man, an educa-
ton would be of untold value.
He became an efficient bookkeeper
and for years did clerical work, at the
same time continuing his studies.
After the hard years spent in
schools and as a bookkeeper, Mr.. Ise-
man decided to follow commercial
life by entering the service of some
good wholesale house and becoming
commercial traveller Boarding
train, he bade farewell to his native
home and departed for the Monu-
mental City, Baltimore, Md, where
he secured a position with Nuzum
& Myers, well known wholesale
clothing house. With these people he
devoted ten years as salesman, trav-
cling in Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio,
Michigan, Delaware and Maryland
Tiring OF the life Of drummer, Mr..
Iseman determined to enter business
for himself. Turning his attention
to Fairmont, due to the rapid business
growth Of the town, he decided it the
best place to invest his money.
Mr.. Iseman came here in 1893 and
made his first business venture, open
ing up a. clothing store, since which
time he has built UP large and grow
ing business.
Courteous treatment, careful repre-
sentation of goods, excellent business
qualities and ideas have contributed |
largely to the success of his store.

always be found to supply the wants
Of customers wishing anything in
mems furnishings, clothing. shoes, etc.
Those composing the efficient clerical
.orce are. G. E. Lester, j. w. Google

PAVING COMPLETED.

1t is expected that paving of Nor
gantown avenue will be completed to-
day. as far as provided for in the con-
tract. All that is needed to convince
any one of the comfort and advan-
tages afforded, both to the general
public and private families in that To-
cality, is to take a walk or drive over
the improvements thus far made. An
effort is now being made to raise
funds and complete the paving to the
cemetery gate, only 500 feet farther
on, and which ought to be done by all
means at this time. while it is yet
summer and the men and teams are
on the ground ready to continue. Then
We are encouraged to assume that the
remaining link will be paved, com
pleting the loop to GOGGLES corner,
and now is the time to push it.

WOULD GET NOMINATION BY q
ACCLAMATION.
SOUTHERN END OF STATE WILL
ASK FOR STRONG PLANK IN
PLATFORM ON WHITE
SUPREMACY.

|
R. Thompson, of Huntington, will in
all probability be the Democratic
nominee for governor at the State
convention today. This was prac-
tically determined at conferences
which ended after midnight. The
supporters of John H, Holt yielded in
the interest of harmony and agreed
to allow the Southern end of the State
to name its candidate. Holt was not
a candidate from choice, but was
forced into the race. AS it appears
now Thompson will be nominated for
governor, by acclamation.
Several conferences have been held
this morning among those who were
backing the candidacy of Holt, with
a view to bringing out of some other
candidate against Thompson, but so
far they have not been productive of
results.
Judge w. G. Bennett, of Weston, c.
W. Ostenton, of Fayetteville, John J.
Cornwell, of Romney, and others are
spoken of as residuary legatees Of the
Holt boom; but the leaders have not
been able toaagree on any of them
and prospects are that Thompson will
be nominated on the first ballot, and
probably by acclamation.
He seems to be the unanimous
choice of the Southern end of the
State The convention meets at 2
o'clock, and it is not probable that
the nomination for governor will be
made before tonight. Col John T.
McGraw, of Grafton, temporary chair
man, will deliver his address imme-
diately upon the assembling of the
convention
Hon. Henry G. Davis may not speak
at all, although he is being urged to
10 SO, and in any event will probably
say few felictious words, even |
:hough he does not deliver set |
speech.
The platform will cause some dis
,ussion. The delegates from the
southern end of the State will insist
lpon strong declaration in favor
If white supremacy and negro dis
ranchisement
Henry G. Davis is understood to be
opposed to any strong declaration on
his subject, not because his sympa-
HES are not with the movement, but
'ecause he is afraid it might have
ad effect in the northern States, if
dopted in his own State. Davis is
redited with having secured the with
rawal of Holt in the interest of par
Y harmony. The convention is per-
aps the largest ever held in West
irginia. All trains entering Parkers-
urg have been crowded and last
light the streets and hotel 1obbies
,ere thronged with thousands of per-
ons. The hotels are taxed to their
tmost capacity and the reception
ommittee has given out over 200
ooms in private houses. The lowest
stimate is that there are 5000 per-
ons here from out of town.

New York, Dec. IA subpoena was

to appear before the federal grand jury
in the United States district court at
Q am. Wednesday.
The. summons was issued by Judge
Francis J. Wing Of the United States
Of Ohio, and was willingly accepted by
Mr.. Carnegie. Mr.. Carnegie. was an,
noyed, however, when he discovered
that the summons required him to make
the trip to Cleveland. The deputy
United States marshal with the sub
poena called at Mr.. Carnegie house,
and told one Of the secretaries that he
came from the building in which the
Carnegie Steel company's office is To-
Gated.
In the colloquoy that ensued the dep
uty refused to say who had sent him,
and asked for private interview with
Mr.. Carnegie, saying that ne had prl-
vate paper for him. After a few mo
ments' hesitation, the secretary adj
mitted the deputy to the library, where
the ironmaster sat reading. Mr.. Car

The ironmaster was advised that he

interview terminated with the remark
on the part Of Mr.. Carnegie that this
weather did not agree with him. 1t
was showing hard at the time.
It was semi-officially announced today
that after Mr.. Carnegie returns from
Cleveland he will be served with a
subpoena for his appearance. here at
less Mrs, Chadwick agrees to 60 to
Cleveland in the meantime.
Mr.. Carnegie will be paid five cents
a mile for his trip to Cleveland and
$15O day for his time when actually
before the grand jury.
Hopes for Settlement.
Another important moveein the Chad,

George Ryall, representing Banker Her

believed to be a cablegram from he:

States Steel and Pennsylvania. 80
The Lawson advertisement published
today breathes disaster. Wall street
had scarcely recovered from the panic
of Wednesday and Thursday last and
was more or less shocked by the latest
efusion from Lawson. It was read by
everybody in New York who has any
thing to-. do with the market.
When the market closed Saturday
Wall street experts figured that the
panic stricken public had sold out on the
slump and that stocks would remain
steady until after the holidays. This
feeling was apparently reflected in Lon
don, where American prices held steady

i The first transaction in Steel common
was block of 10000 shares, which sold
at 301a. The next quotation in the
stock was 29A.
The big men on the stock exchanges
who were instrumental in hating the
panic last week fastened to the floor
and got busy. Frantic kilograms were
sent to brokers and bankers who had
not yet returned from their weekend

Ia TOILETTE
WILL Be SENATOR
Campbell Of Milwaukee Declares
Governor Will Garry Railroad
Fight to Senate.
BY w. w. Jermane.


Washington, Dec. Ex-Governor Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette Of Wisconsin is to
come to Washington as senator in place
of Joseph Quarles. Such is the posi-
tive announcement made by Henry G.
Campbell of Milwaukee, who is now in
Washington, and who is regarded as
one Of the best-posted politicians in the
state.
"There is no question in my mind"
Follette's friends now control the Wis
consin legislature. Nor is there any
doubt that he prefers to go to the SEN
ate to remaining in the gubernatorial
office. I anticipate that early in Jan
uary the matter will be settled.'
The coming Of La Toilette to the
United States senate would add ginger
to the sessions of that dignifed body.
According to all accounts the governor
the senate, and would be heard, in sea-
son and out, attacking the trusts.
There is no cloture rule in the United
States senate, and there would be
nothing to prevent La Toilette from
talking at any and all times, except
the ability of some fellow senator to
get the floor before him, and to keep it
Courtesy Of the senatorial brand, and
unanimous consent, are the two rules by
which the senate does business,
But this apparent license has it's limi
tations. The practical operation Of the
senatorial method is this: Everybody
has to be good. If one member sets VI
his rights above those of the majority
! or takes hostile attitude to the ma
:jority, he Immediately finds that it i
the majority against one. He become
a minority Of one. Everything that h
wants, he does not get. Everything h
does not want comes his way. His abi]
or district becomes nothing. He is lef
as merely voice crying in the wilder
ness. He has the satisfaction of doin
as he pleases, but he pays for it dea
price
