w. s. Mevicker had a hearing yes.
|terday afternoon before Justice Amos
for carrying a revolver. He was
found guilty and was fined s25 and
costs. THE fine and costs amounted to
$3.50. Mcvicker is the man that
was brought in from Warrington dis.
tfict several days ago by Constable
Lee Parker.
There was long list of witnesses
whose testimony tended more to per.
secute than to prosecute. The wit.
uesses sor. the State were: John Smith.
Ella Lahew, Ely Smith, Willie Smith.
Rebecca Patterson and John L. De.

John l. Delaney got on high horse
and was elected from the court room
by Coastables Lee Parker and G. w.
Walker. Delaney was the first man
aver put oat of Justice Amos court.
Several threatening letters address.
ed to Mcvicker were tried to be In
troducei in evidence. The letters
were mailed on the train somewhere
between Grafton and Wheeling. They
were regularly stamped and addressed
as follows: Mr.. Bill Mcvicker, R. f.
d. No. %, Metz, W. Va; Mr.. willis
Mcyicker, R. F. d. No. %, Metz, w.
Va; Mrs. Della Hawkins, R. F. D. No.
q. Metz, W. Va.
The letters were all mailed on the
same day at the same time and were
received at Metz on January 20, as
the stamp on the back of the envelope
shows. The letters are short and
were written on a typewriter. The
one letter that was read by Mcvick-
or's counsel to reporter stated that
II Mcvicker did not get rid Of the
Delaney woman he would be used as
old man Floyd was. If he did not quit
harborins her and giving her attention
that he would be blown into a million
atoms and that no second warning
would be given. The letters were
signed by the ten."

EARL AND THE COMPANY FILLED
THE sWlsHER THEATER
LAST NIGHT.

MoRGANToWN, Feb. S.-The Earl
and the Girl, with Eddie Foy as tile
Earl, has come and gone. This play
is in two acts and is full of tuneful
music, many of the popular songs of
the day having come therefrom.
Eddie Fay alone is whole show,
and his much heralded fame as a
comedian who really produced mirth
was not overdrawn. To those who
greeted him as an old friend in 9th
er roles he seemed to have added
new power in his present character
of the Earl. Exceedingly droll is the
style of his comedy.
He was ably supported by oye of
the largest companies that have ap.
peared behind the swisher theater
footlfghts. Costuming and scenery
were superb and many novel fea-
lures in dancing and singing lifts the
Earl and the Girl out of the rut that
marks the average melange of music
and dancing called musical comedy.
Henry B. Lester as Dick Hargrave
and Clara Ingle as Elphin Hay sang
some catchy duets. with chorus II:
Illustrating the theme of the song in
costume and dance. Some of the
songs and chorus work that called
for encores were Cheyenne. I would

Talks of Work of

~
DELEGATE j NJ. Jacobs surprised his
Fairmont friends by stepping on the
first car from ciarkshurg this morn
ing. This Is his first visit home since
the beginning Of the session Of the
Legislature and he has been very
busy man to-day telling numerous In
qplring friends all about "what is do
ing" at the State capital. He was at
the West virginian Office this morn
Ing and among other things he dis
eussed the proposed Good Roads blu
now before the House of Delegates
On this subject Mr.. Jacobs said:
All over the State there is good
roads movement. Some days ago Mr..
Parsons, of Marshall county. introduc-
ed bill in the House OF Delegates
to create a State Highway Commits
sioner. The only handicap to this
movement is the financial part OF II.
There Is a demand to-day for over
100000 more cash than the finance
Committee can figure out Of the PRES
ent revenues Mr. Jacobs said fur
ther that the only hope of this bill be- i.
coming.a law was that for the present
at least to got the PenitentIary Board
to set aside part of its earnings
each year to pay the expenses OF this
what they could spare to each couh-
ty. Delegate Jacobs said that he had
been working along this line for
some days with Mr.. Parsons framing
an amendment to this measure that
would make start on this good roads
at once. While the peni.
tentiary Is managed very successful
ly there Is yet quite a good many
things that must be done soon. The
institution needs more farm land,
better ssstem ofsewerage, new wat
er tank. and the new cells ordered
some time ago arc not yet in and
paid for.
Mr.. Jacobs said his amendment to
Mr.. Parsons8biIl would be introduced
to-day or tomorrow and that the bin
would be further amended In the Sem
ate. Eve do not expect to get over
$500 for each county to start with."-
said Mr.. Jacobs, .but the fund will
grow from year to year and the State
will also soon be In condition to help
very materially along this line. The
office of highway Commissioner is very
important at this time. Much infor-nn-
ton is needed on the subject Of good
roads and the economical expenditure
Of the money used on the roads of this
State"
Some suggestions have been mads
in the past with reference to working
conyicts on our roads. This is not
for many reasons. It would
cost twice as much or more to feed
them aud guard them as It does at
the present time. They would not
work at longest over six or seven
month in the year on the roads and
there would be no place In the VAR
Gus counties to safely house the con =
victs at night. What the people OF
the State demand is that after the ex-
penses OF the penItentiary are paid.
the profits of the Institution be ap-
piled to the roads where all the coun-
ties of the State win be equally ben
Gifted. The penitentiary board is now
in session at Charleston and the
to be set aside for this fund
will be decided upon at this meeting.
