FAVORABLE FOR WHEAT.
Cool Weather Good For Wheat But
Not For Grass.

The cool weather, with frequent
rains, has ben very favorable to the
growth of the wheat which in sconse-
quence is looking fine. II is tall
enough to present wayy appearance
when brisk breeze is blowing While
this kind of weather is favorable to
the rapid and healthy growth Of grain
It is not so with grass as the latter
needs plenty of warm sunshine in or
der to make the best progress.

From TheWcsrld of Saturday:


The board of Trade dinner last
night to celebrate the birth of that or
ganization concurrent with the new
city charter effective that day, was a
magnificent success, and far exceeded
the most sanguine expectations OF its
promoters. In MAGNITUDE it far sur
passed anything of the kind ever at
tempted in Martinsburg. Indeed it is
doubtful If there ever was such a
large gathering of distinguished
speakers, representative men and fair
women on any public occasion in the
history of West Virginia, and the
Board of Trade richly deserved the
laudatory comments that were heard
on every hand. A special word OF
praise is justly due the committee OF
arrangements that planned the dinner,
and by tact, good taste and wise fore
thought made 1t the grand success
that it was.
The dinner was held in the Empire
theatre, covers being laid for two hun
dred and seventy-fve. There were
twenty-one tables including the speak
ers' table and all arranged in the
form of an anchor, producing strik-
ing effect.
The Board of Trade members as
sembled at the City Hall and, headed
by the City Band, marched in the or
der of table assignment to the Berke.
lex Hotel where they were joined by
the officers of the organization and in
vited guests anu thence marched to
the Empire theatre, reaching there at
s o'clock The committee showed the
diners to heir respective tables so
that all were quickly seated without
confusion.
Seated at the speakers table, which
extended across the front of the aud
itorilm, were the speakers of the
evening, Mayor Chas. G. Cushwa, the
officers of the Board of Trade and
special guests to the number of thirty
five.
After an invocation by Rev, DR.. J. A.
Hoffheins, ia stor of Christ Reformed
church and the Oldest resident clergy
man of Martinsburg, the dinner was
served.
The collation. was prepared by the
Kings Daughters and fifty or more
young ladies waited on the tables. The
edibles were dainty, delicious and
bounteous, whilst the table decora-
tions were beautiful and the service
elegant. While the diners were en-
joying the good things so bountifully
set before them the City Band dis
coursed ome pleasing selections.
Seated around the room 9ere many
ladies, some of them the wives of the
Board Of Trade members. The scene
was animated throughout, made doub-
ly so by the presence OF so many fair
ladies'.
An amusing surprise was sprung
during the dinner that aided to the
enjoyment of the occasion. This was
some funny stunts by the Lyric Come
dy Four playing an engagement at the
Empire, in which they made some
clever hits on local affairs that
.grought down the house. This was
preceded by well-sung quartet
When the cigars were reached Col.
Stuart w. Walker, president OF the
Board of Trade, arose and in his felici-
tous style introduced Ex-senator Chas.

ADVANCE FEES
NOT POPULAR
Ohio County Lawyers say the Clerk
and sherIn are Wrong and
Raised Kick.

In Wheeling. fight has been in.
augurated between the lawyers Of the
county on one side and the clerk OF
the circuit court and sheriff on the
other over the action of the two ON.
Gals In collecting in advance the
costs in cases filed in court. The
Ohio county Bar Association passed
resolution against the collection OF
the fees III advance and there is no
doubt that the sheriff and clerk will
make every effort to enforce their
rules against the wishes of the mem
bers OF the association.
Recently the clerk of the circuit
court decided that he would make out
no papers and the sheriff decided
that he would serve none at the insti'
tuition of q suit unless the fee was
paid or deposit was made to cover
the costs. This action was taken by
both officials TO protect themselves
under the 1905 acts Of the legislature
which provide under the public uni
form accounting system that Is pei
cent. Of the fees over and above a GER
tain amount must be turned over to
/ the state. The officials figured that
| II they would make a record OF Q
transaction In their office and be un
able to collect the fee that the Is pei
cent would be paid out OF their peck
| cts. Since that time the clerk has
made out no papers without the fec
being paid and the sheriff has served
none unless he was paid. IL
Committees Report.
AS this action affected the lawyers
| in d vital way they at once took al
the matter and the bar association
appointed committee TO consider !,
and submit a report. The committee
reported that the action o. the sheriff
and clerk was not sustained by an,
law on the statute books. It declared
that the Acts OF 1905 sreferred I,
those Of the clerk of the county cour
and not the clerk of the circuit couri
or the sheriff. The committee further
reported that the only case IN which
the clerk OF the circuit court may ue
mand the costs in a case In advance
| is where the party fling the suit Ia
not a resident of the county.
Not Collected Here.
From The World OF Thursday:
A representative OF The Evening
World interviewed Circuit Court Clerk
Gerhardt this morning anent the rule
in vogue in Ohio county. He said he
was happy to state that IN Berkeley
county the clerk OF the circuit court
does not require a deposit to cover
costs in each suit when the action Is
instituted, nor does the sheriff collect
his fees in advance in such cases. MT
Gerhardt further said that Berkeley
county did not have any "shystef'
suits.

NEW |CE PLANT |S NEARLY READY FUR USE
MACHINERY STARTED YESTER- DAY AND PERFORMED LIKE
 PROvERBIAL CHARM.
HEAVY FLOW WATER IN WELLS
PROMOTERS DELIGHTED WITH PROGRESS MADE IN ERECTION
 OF FACTORY.

The machinery of the new plant of the City Ice & Cold Storage company which has been in course of erection at Oak street and the railroad for the past several weeks, was set in motion yesterday for the first time.
 When the steam was turned into the big Corliss engine, it started without murmur of disapproval coming from any of it's bearings.
 The compressor, which is direct con nected with the engine, ran smoothly and but few adjustments were neces- sary to put it in perfect running order.
 The machinery was started both to test the engine and compressor and the pipes and fittings around the plant as we'll. Only Q, small number of leaks were found in the two miles of piping around the place and they were soon repaired.
 In pinch, ice could probably be turned out at the plant in day or so. bat it will more than likely be a week or more before the pI bt is in active operation.
 The water well at the rear of the plant is. not down to the proper depth as yet, owing to the fact that a heavy flow of water has impeded the work. Two pumps have been working steadily, throwing out the water, but they can do little more than make an impress sion on the flow. The well will proba- bly be. sunk, to aAdepth of about thirty five feet, to insureta good flow of water during the dry season.
 It will be necessary to equip the boiler with oil burners before the plant IS put in operation, as coal has been used so far for testing purposes. It will not be heavy job, however, as the burners, oil pump and other ac. cessories are on the ground.
 This work, with the installation of two water pumps will practically com. plete the mechanical end of the plant.
 The building is not complete as yet, but the refrigefating rooms can be fin isEed in short time. Engineer Gay is well pleased with the speedy pro gress which has been made in the con struction of the plant and hopes to burn 1t over. complete early next week.
