After having been away from this
county for thirty-three years, Mr..
Henry Selbc,, brother of John R. a. d
Alonzo Selbe, former residents of is
city, both of whom have some few
years ago departed this life, has been
here couple of weeks renewing old
acquaintances. Mr.. Selbe moved

years ago to Nebraska and from there
to Iowa, where he engaged in farm
ing, at which vocation he was very
successful, having amassed consider
able of this worlds good. While
here he recalled the names of many
old friends that he had not seen in

c. E. MATHEWS, ARTIST.

!. Mr.. G. E. Matthews, our artist
and paper hanger, has just completed
two jobs, one of paper hanging and
the other painting and decorating,
which is pronounced frst-class work.
The paper hanging was done at the
county Jail and that institution is
now transformed into place of
cheerful and inviting appearance.
From this job Mr.. Matthews went to
Gen'l. John Mccausland's mansion
on the Kanawha river, where he
executed some of the finest work in
frescoing and decorating in the
county, both in design, richness and
elegance. Mr.. Matthews work is
always frst-class and the crowning
part of it is, his work costs no more
than Others charge for cheap work.
He is always busy, but will give you
estimates at any time, and do your
work at the time agreed upon.

St. ABANS
GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT BY AGORE OF
9T00.

The St. Adams team played our
home team here Sunday, resulting
in a score of . to o in favor ofPoint
Pleasant. The game was interesting
up to the 4th inning, neither side
having scored, but in this inning
Point Pleasant struck her usual gait
and batted out seven tallies. The St.
Adams boys seemed disheartened at
this turn in affairs, and played a
loose game throughout the remaining
innings, Point Pleasant scoring two
more. They were unable to hit
Dashner, which tells the story.
They are gentlemanly set of fell
lows. The club seems to be new and
need lot of practice. They were
entirely OutclAssed in the game Sum

DR. GUTHRIE.

The announcement that DR.. L. V.
Guthrie had been re-appOinted by
Governor Glasseock to the superin-
tendency of the West Virginia Asy-
lum at Huntington, has been creative
of much favorable comment through
out the state, and is especially satis-
factory to the people of Huntington
and cabell county. The asylum is
regarded by the whole of West vir-
ginia as being one of the model pub
lie institutions of the state, the ideal
conditions with which it is surround
ed being largely the result of the
personal effort displayed in the ad-
ministration of its affairs by DR..
Guthrie. Probably NO other man in
the state is better equipped by nature
and scientific knowledge, for this
particular work, and if past results
may be regarded as the criterion for
future accomplishments, West vir-
ginia will possess the best equipped
and the most conservatiyely managed
asylum in this country, where the
charity of the people care for the
unfortunates. The location of the
asylum is one of superb natural
beauty, and the hand of nature has
been carefully and successfully guild
ed by DR.. Guthrie in the performance
of a work that has resulted in the
perfection Of an IDEAL retreat where
nature and science combine to restore
health, or at least bring happiness to
those in need. 1t is expected that
the great philanthropy that has al
ready been displayed by the state of
West Virginia, viii increase with the
years to come, and as the executive
head of the West Virginia Asylum,
DR.. Guthrie will accomplish much
for the good OF the state and for the
good Of humanity.

DESERTED HS TRAIN
BECAUSE He HAD WORKED HIS lLLOT-
DEYTEN HOURS.

The old song that Pat Murphy
sang when He worked eight hours
that day and wouldn't work. another
minute longer ran through the
mind of C. W. Smith, a freight en-
sinecr, when he was piloting a train
consisting of 81 freight cars toward
Charleston few days ago, says the
Charleston Gazette.
81 certainly worked eight hours
today" said Smith, looking at his
watch. "Great Scott l have work
ed twice eight and cannot work an
other minute longer.
Smith then uncoupled the engine
and put it in the round house, which
is four miles out of Charleston. The
81 varieties of freight cars were left
on the main track, completely block
ing all traffic.
Smiths action was due to the re-
cent law passed in the interstate
commerce commission, which en-
phatically states that employees of
railroads must not work over sixteen
hours under penalty of the law.
Smith thought he was right in his
action, but the railroad company
disagreed with him and after an in
yestigatiOn Smith was discharged.
The engineer was taking the train
from Gassaway to Charleston. Heavy
freight traffic delayed him several
honrs and when he discovered that
he had worked the allotted sixteen
hours he decided to brave the wrath
of the railroad company rather than
that of the government.
Mr.. Smith says that he will take
his case up before the interstate
commerce commission.

The PEAET FOR FAILURE,

Last year many merchants and
Others who were required to take
out state license other than liquor
licenses failed to do so ae the law
requires and the consequence was
that many of them were subject to a
penalty.
As the law now stands it required
that all state licenses shall be taken
out during the month of June, and
those who fail to do 50 even through
oversight, WILDE subject to penalty
Of ten per cent per month or a frac-
ton of a month on the face value Of
each license they are required to
have, which will amount to cOnsid-
cradle if the matter runs along a few
months before the license is taken
out. There is no escape from this
penalty, as the law requires the
clerk to place it on the license when
issued and the money must be paid
TO the sheriff, hence it is important
for those who take out licenses, to
do 50 during this month, and thereby
eyade the penalty.
Licenses are required on tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes, pool and billiard
tables, restaurants, boarding houses
and score or more of others.

SEWERAGE.

The citizens of First street will
ask the Council for sewerage of the
two squares above Mr., Dave Prices
residence, at the next meeting. As
the Council has already determined
to drain from Misner's corner to the
river, this would incur but little
more expense and be of lasting bene-
fit to the people residing on these
two squares. Ohio street will also
reed attention along this line, and
as sufficient sum WAS levied for last
year for this purpose, the work should
be done at once. We are one who
believe in permanent improvements
only, and that where needed.

<. & N. LINE
GREAT CHANGE OF LINE AT POINT
PLEASANT. WEST va.

On Monday June the twenty-6rste
(slst) the connection was made be-
tween the old and new line. The
final close up will not occur for ten,
days or two weeks as yet.
In this change the elimination of a
Is per cent grade approach on the
south viaduct was accomplished by
replacing the same with o.s per
cent compensated grade for three (ss
miles. This necessitated the con-
struction of an entirely new line,.
with over 1000 Gu. yds. of exca-
vation. Replacing the old south
viaduct with a new CONSTRUCTIVE
1870 #. long.
In connection with this work the
old bridge across the Ohio riyerbuilt
in lss- consisting Of 5 spans, three
(s) them ESQ Fl, one (1) zoo #,
the other the main channel span
$50 #, as well as the north viaduct
of 900 #, having been replaced by q
structure with ten times thestrength
of the old. The new structure is de-
signed to stand 5000 lbs. to the foot,
uniformly distributed, and so, 900 lbs.
concentrated load. The cost of the
north and south viaducts were ap-
proximately s45 per #. Total cost
of the entire change of line approxi-
mately one million dollars.
On June slst the American Bridge
Co. handled over 500 Is. of new
structural work and built $40 feet of
new lihe as well rs handling ali
material in the old south yiaduct that
had to be removed in placing the
new in position.
At the same time that portion
Cabout 500 ~ of the old south via
duct, between the south end of the
bridge and the point where the old
and new lines joined, was raised to-
meet the new grade, necessitatine
lifting at the point of connection
about is feet.
This change of line, between Three
Mile Bridge and Point Pleasant, was
started less than year sgo by Mr. ;
J. A. Stricker, construction engineer
in charge, and completed before time
called for.

vision has been made in designing
