VOLUME XXXvII.


People of Morgantown will dc
well to read and ponder the article
in another column which calls at
tention to some facts which should
be admitted by all of US. We have
e 1T to get down to reasonable basis
and stay there. To continue in the
mad career of imitation is to court a
panic which will be disastrous in
It's consequences. There is no mis-
take about this. That there is a
disposition to get down off the high
horse has been shown in a number
of cases and it is the best guaranty
that nothing Of an adverse nature is
to come TO us.
To face danger is TO half way
win the victory. We must admit
the conditions as they exist and we
must over come them. 1t is easy to
do and will be much better in the
long run. Will our people rise to
the occasion?

The First SIS Bill.

The first S. greenback issued by
our government was in 1862, and ever
since 1854 has been the heirloom of a
prominent family. Its age has in-
creased its value greatly. This is also
true in regard to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t was introduced fifty years
ago, and because it positively cures
stomach liver and bowel disorders it
is valued more highly than any other
remedy. Those who have once tried
1T always keep bottle on hand to
cure dyspepsia, nausea, indigestion,
dizziness, heartburn, insomnia, chills,
colds or malaria. Sickly women, too
realize its wonderful value as a health
maker and regulator. Be sure to try
it. Your druggist will supply you
with the genuine, also give you a
copy of our 1904 illustrated Almanac.
Ask for 1t before the supply is ex-
hausted

Nine directors and four officers were
elected. The directors are Robert Nc

Saturday night will be pay night
and the first payments will be taken
on Saturday night January 20. The
Office where payment will be made is
that occupied by Snee, Warman and
German on Chancery Row. The hour
of payment will be from seven to
eight o'clock.
An officer of the association said
this morning that he expected the
capital paid in TO equal an amount
twice as great as that paid into any
other building and loan society ever
started here. The result of the stock
subscriptions has been very gratifying
to those who are organizing the con-
Germ.
Morgantown has been greatly bene-
fitted by her building and loan socie-
ties and the Athens may be expected
70 add a great deal to the impetus
which has been given to the business
activities of the town by these organs
izations. Hundreds of homes are
paid for through the building and
loan and as an investment there is moth
ing which is as safe and profitable as
stock in such an institution.

will Have to Fight for OifIcial Life.

The following editorial appeared
in the Post yesterday. The faithful
are wondering what ii means. No
one seems to know who the man 10
who will beat Dayton for the nomi-
nation. One of the Office holders
expresses the opinion that as Dayton
has the machinery in the district be
can be rominated again if he wants
to be. The editorial follows:
Mr.. Dayton, who has unnecessari-
ly and IN the most offeneiye manner
denounced the progress Of the tax
reformers is TO have the fight Of his
life for denomination. He will be
confronted by an antagonist who may
not have the support of the b. 4 @.
railroad and a thousand free passes
behind him, but who will have the
support of the outraged tax payers,
for whose relief he has done nothing,
and whose cause he treats with con-
tempt. Even bis own county in pub.
lie meeting has denounced the con.
tinlance of the present iniquitous
and unjust tax laws which he seems
to favor. Free passes and the B. 4
0, railroad, upon which he relies,
will not save him.

Some of the state papers are talk
ing about a rather curious case
which was recently tried at Pied
mont. Joseph Lupis had been on
trial for killing Joseph Caval!o and
was acquitted on instructions from
the court to the jury on the ground
of insufficient evidence. Then one
Averro was placed on trial tor the
same offense. LUPUS went on the
stand and swore that he had killed
the dead man and Avarro was acquit
ted. Lupis cannot be tried Tor the
murder although he has confessed
to it as he has been placed in jeop-
ordy once for the crime and was &C
quilted. This seems rather peculiar
but it is an old and well established
bit of law
