House w Up
SUBSTITUTE BILL OFFERED BY
Mr.. piLLARp WOULD INCREASE
THE SALARIES OF ONLY THE
SUPREME AND CIRCUIT COURT.
JuoeEs-RoTH BILLS SENT
BACK TO COMMITTEES.

CHARLESTON, Feb. looming up
in the House of Delegates yesterday
afternoon house bill No. 4s, provid-
ing for an increase in the salaries of
the State officials and the judges of
the Supreme Court of Appeals and
the judges of the Circuit Courts,
caused the commotion that was ex.
pected. On last Friday night when
the bill came up for its first reading
after a favorable report by the judi.
ciary committee, the Democrats and
several Republicans served notice that
they were opposed to the bill and the
action yesterday was looked for.
No sooner had Reading Clerk
Hodges finished reading the bill than
the author. Mr.. billiard, was on his
feet with substitute which he offer.
ed. The former bill called for an in.
crease for number of the State OH.
cials including the governor, $4,000;
Secretary of State. 1000; treasurer,
$500 and the judges of the Supreme
Court of Appeals an increase Of $4,000
making their salary $500. and the
judges of the Circuit Courts an in.
crease of s1,7oO, making their salary
$4,000. The substitute offered by Mr..
billiard provided that the judges oil
the Supreme Court of Appeals be al.
lowed an increase of $1,000. making
the salaries $500, and the judges OF
the Circuit Courts an Increase of $500,
making their annual salaries $4,000
each.
Immediately following the presen.
.tation of the substitute Mr.. Staun.
ton moved that both the original and
the substitute bills be recommended to
the judiciary committee. Mr.. Wet.
gel opposed the recommitment Of the
bill and moved that the substitute be
Indefinitely postponed. He was de.
clared out of order with his motion to
Indefinitely postpone, but stated there
was nothing in the bill that required
an investigation from committee
that the proposition was perfectly
clear to all and the bill should re
main in the house instead of being
again referred to the committee and
let it be disposed of in the house.
He said there were important meas.
ures now pending in the house tina,
were of interest to the whole people
and he believed that this bill was de,
signated to benefit only few and

Mr. Roach also spoke in favor OF
the bill being recommitted to the COM
mittee and he was followed by Mr..
craig who said that WHEN bill came
up to increase the salary of the conn.
" officials, 4 was generally met with
the cry 70 KIN It, but when the prop.
osition was 70 increase the salaries q
the State officials. Il was not so much
heard! He thought the proposition II
the substitute bill was vital one
that the delegates would have to an.
swer for TO their constituents and that
he was in favor Of raising the sal
ariesfas much as the State could at.
ford and for this reason he desired
the bill to go back to the committee
and have them act upon it.
Mr.. stallings. Of Tucker, as usual
steered the delegates back to the
right course. He told the delegates
they. were drifting away from the real
question. 1t was. not a question of
whether the bill was right or not, that
would be determined later. but the
substitute was so extremely different
from the original bill that 1T can not
be considered in such haste on Its
merit and he favored the original bill
with the substitute>be recommitted to
the committee.
The ayes and noes were demanded
and showed "A in favor of recommlt.
ting the bill and 80 against. Several
Republicans voted with the Democrats
against the recommitment and the
Democrats with the Republicans, ia.
voring the action.

More Houses Needed.

There seems to be general clam.
or for more houses in the First ward,
while the present supply is entirely
Inadequate TO meet the demand. Two
reasons are suggested for this condI.
ton Of things: First, that the First
ward Is fast coming to the front as
a desirable location for residence
property in the city, and, second,
tisat building materials are SO high
az present that neither the owners of
desirable sites feel justified in making
an Investment In additional buildings
for rent. nor can the ordinary renter
with his present rate OF wages and
high cost OF living AFFORD to run the
risk Of purchasing a lot for tho pur.
pose ofbuildlng himself home there.
ON; hence the present large demand
for houses to rent and the sparsity
of the supply-a local problem that
loudly calls for a speedy solution.

generally employed and yet so harmful,
in the long run, to most invalids when
its use is long continued, even in small
doses, cost DIR. Pierce several years of
careful study and labor, with the aid Of
skilled pharmacists and chemists to
assist him. Naturally, he does not care
TO give away his scientific and exact
processes for preparing these medicines,
but he does want to deal in the most
open manner with all his, patrons and
patients, and under this frank, open and
honest way of dealing, they may know
exactly what they are taking when using
his medicines.
What Do They cure7 This ques-
ton is often asked concerning DR..
Pierce's two leading medicines, Golden
Medical Discovery" and eFavorite Pre-
scription."
The answer is that Ct Golden Medical
Discovery" is most potent alternative
or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigor-
ator and acts especially favorably In a
curative and healing way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces as OF the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder, curing large
per cent. of catarrhal cases whether the
disease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, iarynx, bronchia, stomach las
catarrhal dyspepsia) bowels las mucous
diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other
pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or
Lucrative stages OF these affections, it
is often successful in efecting cures.
The g Favorite Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class OF diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is q powerful yet gen.
tly acting invigorating tonic And
strengthening nervine. For weak ,wotn-
out, over-worked women-no matter
what has caused the breakdown, eFa-
vorite Prescription will be found most
effective in building up the strength,
regulating the womanly functions, SUBJ
DUNG pain and bringing about healthy,
vigorous condition OF the whole system.
Women suffering from diseases OF long
standing, are invited TO consult Doctor
Pierce by letter, free. All correspond
ence Is held as strictly private and

OVER THE SALARIES

should be disposed Of at once.
Mr.. strickiing said the bill was
one that peculiarly affected every.
body and he knew of no other pend.
ing In the house that SO much com
Germs the people as this one. He said
there was disposition in the house
to change nothing that had been here
tofore. That the salaries of our off,
cials are vastly out OF proportion with
the service rendered and that while
the cry of too little money was heard
he advised "if we haven't got the
money, let's raise the money"
Mr.. Staunton explained that his
motion to commit the original and the
substitute bills was not for the pur-
pose of killing them, but in order that
the committee might pass upon both
the bills and particularly the SUBJ
stitute which they had never seen.
The question was then turned into the
merits OF the bill and Mr.. Strothers
spoke heartily in favor of more com.
pensadon for the judges of our
courts. He referred to. the great sac
rilce of the lawyers who left large
practice to go on the supreme bench
and advised a recommltment of the
bill.
Mr.. Evans also favored that the
bill be recommitted to the committee
that they might have a chance to con.
slider the substitute. He spoke Of the
arduous duties of the members OF the
Supreme Court of Appeals and thought
there should be no desire on the part
of anybody to withhold from them
the increase offered in the bill. Mr..
Ellis Of Fayette, and Mr.. Mcdonald, Of
Logan, also talked on the motion, the
latter asking for immediate action on
the bill and advising against 1t being
recommitted.
Mr.. Devol, of Wood county, who
last Friday night, announced 1t was
his intention to fight an increase OF
the salaries, made an appeal for i'm
mediate action and advised that 1t be
left to the house to decide whether
or not they would increase any salar.
les. He thought it bad policy to allow
the bill to go back to the committee
and have few decide for the whole.
He stated that the present salaries
were sufficient to always keep a man
ready for position on. the Supreme
Coutr bench and recalled that in tho
last few days Wood county had fur.
nished a man to take the place of an.
other who had resigned and stood
ready and willing to furnish another.
Mr.. Sinclair brought out q new
point wher he stated that 1t was i'm.
possible for the State of West Virginia
to pay an official as much as one could
earn at his profession, but he was in
favor of the bill going to the commit
tee that the bill might be perfected
and then brought before the house,
when the delegates could act upon It.
