the evening was spent in reading
singing, reciting and playing games
until the old year passed away and
the new year ushered ia with a
reading of Tennyson's death Of The
Old Year" and the ringing Of bells.
All seemed to enjoy the evening very
pleasantly.
We have a class of seventeen in
the eight grade whom we hope 10
have the common school examination
although they all cannot expect to
pass for the work means something
to finish thoroughly and satisfactorily.
1t is something to accomplish and
if pupils have an object in view they
will strive harder TO arrive at that def.
mite object. There is an idea prevalent
among some people that Diploma
does not amount to very much, butt
wish to urge that any pupil who Sc
cures honestly a Diploma from the
county common school examination
has fair start in an education, and
has reasons to feel proud that he has
secured a diploma. 1t is a stepping
stone to something higher and a stim-
ulation to something broader.
Live for something, have purpose.
And that purpose keep in view;
Sailing like a helmless vessel,

Might have yet been softly sailing,
But they drifted with the tide.

For political reasons a special edition
of the Morgantown Post was seized and
suppressed. following a directors meet
ing, when the minority stockholders,
who until Monday had editorial control
of the paper, were forced out and
new set of officials were appointed.
Under the old management the paper
favored A. c. Scherr, who is running
against Secretary Of State Swisher for
the Republican nomination for Cover

be under control of local men represent
ing Stephen B. Elkins, who favor
Swisher's candidacy. The special edition

THE REPUBLICAN
BENZ. H. SINCELL, EDITOR.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, 1905.

WHILE everything is moving har-
noniously toward a united party in the
Republican convention, the troubles of
the Democrats are multiplying as the
date of their convention approaches.
The opponents of William J. Bryan are
seriously considering the adYisability of
making formal appeal to the Peerless
Leader to Withdraw from the race. as
they say it is obvious that while he may
control the convention he cannot win at
the polls and that he ought to show
sufficient patriotism to eliminate him
self, to stand aside in favor of candi-
date who can win. 1t seems to be the
hope of the anti-Bryan Democrats that
they can win with Governor johnson,
of Minnesota, but the Bryanites are
convinced that no Democrat could poll
as many votes as Mr.. Bryan. The
prospects are all bright for serious
division in the party accompanied by
all the rancor and anger which the
Democracy always injects into a politl-
cal contest.

MR.. A. W. BENNETT DIED POOR
erected Hotel bennett at Mt. Lake
Park Several Years Aso.

Alfred w. bennett, better known all
over the country as Angel bennett.
who amassed fortune through chais
OF Iunchrooms IN several of the large
cities, died at Stockton, Cal, on the
18th inst, Although at one time work
more than $1,000 he died poor, a
victim Of financial enterprise due to
religious enthusiasm. DenneEt first
came into prominence by esta6fis
group of restaurants in New IN,
making them notorious by placing pro
verbs and Scriptural notices on the
walls, along with cards giving the price
of food.
Beginning this business in Boston Oh
a small scale in 1883, bennett had 5
string of restaurants from New York
to San Francisco within IA years.
Through unfortunate investments il
gold mines, bennett failed in 1899.
He resumed business, and later went to
California. In 1901 he failed again.
owing $92, 900, most of his creditors
being missionary societies. Starting
anew, he suffered heavy losses in 1904
in Oakland and Los Angeles.
AS result of this third failure his
mind was affected. He was placed in
an asylum, whence he afterward was
discharged as cured Since then he had
lived in retirement. He was Y yea.
old, and was son Of William bennett
of Topsham, Maine.
Several years ago Mr.. bennett be-
came interested in Mountain Lake Park
property where he purchased a large
body of land upon which he erected
Hotel bennett, his purpose being to
entertain ministers and others interest
ed in religious work at a nominal sum,
but before his plans had become per
fected financial embarrassment came
and the property was sold at forced
sale.
