HISTORY
Of the Court House Of Harri-
son County is Given by
Colonel Raymond.
(By Col. Henry Raymond. J


As the question of constructing q
new court house is now up for con.
sideration, this seems an opportune
time to review the history of the
public buildings heretofore butt ~
the county.
Harrison county was created from
Monongalia county by an act OF the
Virginia assembly passed in the
year 174S, and extended from the
Maryland line to the Ohio river, with
a frontage OF sixty miles along that
stream,
The first county court to organize
the county met n the house of
George Jackson. where the town OF
IBuckhannon now stands, on July
20. 1884.
Clarksburg was selected as the
place the public buildings were to be
located, and the court adjourned 70
meet in that place at the term in
the house of Hezekiah DAWSON.
The arst court house was built
in the year 1897 on the northeast
corner of what is now Main and Sec
ond streets, was of wood 26xS6 feet
in dimension, one story high, end
was set upon stone pillars eight
feet high, two by three feet square
and cost 1855.
On court days horses were hitched
in the basement or under portion Of
the building.
The second court house was COM
pleted in 1912, on the site of the
present building, the lot being do
mated by Benjamin Wilson, Jr.
This building was of brick, two
stories high, surrounded by grace
full cupola, a front OF aobut forty
feet, with one story brick clerks
offices on either, and heated by two
enormous coal CRATES on the east
and west sides OF the court room.
The contract price was $1,000. The
bell was cast in Pittsburg at cost
of $3.50, and is now in possession OF
the city authorities.
The third building was of BRICK,
the contract price being $4,000, and
will be remembered by most Of the
adult inhabitants.
The fourth building being the
enc now in use, was contracted for
in 1887, at the price of s46,65o, and
occupied by the officials in Deem
Der, 1888.
Quite a controversy arose as TO,
the location of the court house when
It was proposed to abandon the hrse
locatin rad build new one, be-
tween the residents of the east and
west sides of the creek
Judge John G. Jackson offered to-
reconstruct a large stone building
end make it suitable for court pur-
poses if the selection of the site
site should be on the east side.
To this proposition the dwellers
on the west side strenuously OBJ
jected. All kinds of charges were
made as to the motives OF the par
ties engaged in the controversy, and
a regular court house fight was on.
An act of the legislature finaiN
settled the dispute by declaring in
favor of the west side, and peace
reigned c.ace more.

DR.. FRIEDMAN CALLS
CRITICISM UNFAIR
Replies to Attack of McGill
Faculty Physician.

MONTREAL, Quebec, May q
Breaking his long silence in regard
to the criticisms which have been
leveled at him by physicians in Mon
treal and medical men all over the
United States, DR., Friedman, short
Nv after his arrival in Montreal yes
terday made the following statement
in replying to the criticism Of DR.
Shepherd. Of the McGill medical
faculty:
s.This criticism regarding the sale
of my serum is hardly fair | have
had hundreds of offers for the sale OF
my serum which ] have refused. feo-
pie said to me: We will give you ST.
100000 for your cure And said, NO,
i will not sell the secret except on
certain conditions l said that pro-
vided l sold my secret certain num-
Der of institutes must be opened in
which doctors could be trained in the
secret and how to use 1t; but, ! said.
the doctors must first of all go through
a certain course. My cure is not
simply case of injection, 1t Is
necessary to undergo training before
il is understood.
"A1so. said to those who wanted
my secret that the people who could
not pay for the treatment must be
treated free. These were the two
stipulations which I made and which
1 have carried out, and this is my
answer to the criticism of my ae-
ton"

hopeless and helpless The result is
that woman are driven into prostitu-
ton to care for their children-and to
supply the soldiers"
A fine young French chap in bust
ness said practically the same thing
to me.
Men-children for fighting they
are what France, too. evidently
wants, no matter how they come into
the world All the laws regarding
prostitution and morality are framed
with this end in view. A betrayed
girl is prevented from seeking the
father of her child, she must care
for the child herself Which means
that most of the girls along the
boulevards who make Paris awful
instead of gay are mothers of name
less children, whom they are support
ing as best they can.
In Germany and France, when war
guns are booming. men are fed into
the nav of war; but in the luIls of
peace. into the hungry NAV is fed
the countries girlhood.
Each French nottingham pays
about three-fourths of a days wages
every week for war alone, not count
ing his other taxes,
In Germany and France alone s5,-
600, 600 900 is practically set aside
from commerce in order to produce,
at per cent. interest enough to keep
the two countries ready to fight each
other.
In other words, if France and Ger
many could agree never to go to war,
it would practically mean taking this
So. 100000, 900 and turning it to making
their countries richer and their homes
happier.
In England the situation is as bad.
though the Englishman, as an in
dividual is bucking up against the
foolishness of it all England is
building sixteen warships to Ger
many's ten; but her difficulty is to
find Englishmen ready to man them.
Just at present Lord Roberts is
going about England crying out,
Join the militia, and be patriotic,
or else the government will have to
enforce military enlistment" But
| the Englishmen are only pooh pooh
ing him and all such as hold his
ideas. for the Englishman has dis
covered, during the past few English
wars, that the average English
soldier never fights for himself, but
for the money interests of the lords
and mobiles. The English Govern
ment is having a hard time to gel
people to stand a war tax. and this
tax is gradually growing less.
AS soon as the Frenchman and the
German take matters into their owr
hands, as the Englishman is doing
the probabilities Of war will grow less
and less in Europe. If governments
who are swayed by banking an6
commercial interests, cannot fine
men to man dreadnaughts and shooi
cannon then 1t will be useless to buy
warships and guns.

HAGUE AND TUMULTY
STEAL WITTPENN CLUB
They're Also Endorsed for Jer-
sey City Commissioners.

JERSEY CITY. n. j., May 2.-The
action of the Fifth Ward wittpenn
Club in indorsing Philip Tumulty. jr.
for one of the ten nominations for
commissionership was a severe blow
to Mayor Wittpenn and his followers.
and they decided to have another
meeting last night for the purpose Of
resembling the Endorsement
There was a fun attendance. City
Clerk John Morris had told several
members Of the club that it was the
wish of the Mayor that neither Tum-
ulty nor any other man not identified
with the Wittpenn forces should be
indorsed.
Both Hague and Tumulty were on
hand when the meeting was con-
vened. The few Wittpenn office
holders in the club protested against
their presence but they were out
voted. Hague made a long address
in which he told of many reforms
he had accomplished as member
of the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners
He was frequently interrupted with
applause,
At the close Of his address a reso-
luton indorsing both Hague and
Tumulty as the choice of the club
for ommissionerships was intro
dueed.
1t was decided to change the name
of the club to the Fifth Ward Demo-
cratic Club When the news spread
that Hague had captured the Witt
penn Club it caused CONSERVATION in
the Wittpenn camp all over the city.
1t is understood that other Wittpenn
clubs VIII take the same action as the

the awful war load which every man
in these countries. rich and poor, is
carrying. Everywhere 1 go in Europe
I find that war hangs over every man.
woman and child. Just at present
the cloud is very low, and the cry of
the oppressed Frenchman and Ger
man is, For Gods sake. let us fight

Figures don't quite tell the story
and I'm going to give only a few.
Germany has just decided to spend
s27O. OO0,0 900 for war preparations by
taxing incomes. e.
And this tax will be so great that
German business houses, of a certain
income. must pay the government
the first per cent. of their earnings
before they can take any earnings
themselves.
Wherefore, if a firm wishes to earn
per cent. it must, in realty, make
