Va. Referring to the coming event of "A Contented Woman" to Impress upon your mind, it can't say too much in its praise. I want to do a big business and there is absolutely no reason why we should not. If you know the attraction, I like you the best performance I have ever had in your life. I guarantee that "A Woman" one of the best and elaborately equipped, in all costumes on the road; it is better than the majority of engagements; that the cast is not only the original, but better; that the audience is not fully satisfied that it is the original, and that if the theater is not fully satisfied that the audience is heralded, I will refund the price of ticket performance. I am sure that such a proposition, it is very truly yours. Fred R. Wright. The management of Frank Dillon, who has been managing the theater and companies for twenty years, has never yet been able to see a failure. "I'm Married" will probably be seen in West. The "great corn belt" of this one's toes—the result of a corn don't trouble "Walk-Ove": made to comfort, not comfort. They lose nothing in style—elegance and comfort-giving. Shurtleff & Co. EXPECTED TO SEE "THE BOND IRMONT." A JEWISH CHARACTER WITH THEATRICAL NOTES. In the midst of the close of the sea, an. The author of "A Contented Woman," "A Temperance Town" and, "Exas Steer," spent much of his time in his country home; but one day he appeared unexpectedly in New York at the Lumbs Club. Going straight to the cafe, he made one large, inclusive gesture, which brought every present about him. "It's on me," said Mr. Hoyt. Then he told his story according to the Saturday Evening Post. It was before the days of electrical gasoline motors, and he had bought a little steam yacht. He engaged as his engineer one of his Yarco neighbors and offered him liberal wages, with the provision that the engineer should find his own coal. As a long way to the nearest guard, and Mr. Hoyt had all the trouble was looking for to keep his own furnace fed. "But where shall I get the coal?" the new engineer asked. "The new engineer asked. "I don't care," said the foremost of the engineering stage humorists. "Steam, so the bargain was struck. All were well until in the early autumn, Mr. Hoyt went into his cellar to see how much coal he would have to have brought him for the winter. Of several, one or two scuttlefuls remained. The rest was speedily traced to the engineer. The last issue of "The Billboard" contains a hard roast on Harry Nye, who was located at Fairmont a few years ago. Having had some job with the coal company, it seems that Mr. Nye has been urged to a warmer or more permanent and now comes in for criticism himself. F. M. Shortridge, who edited the department of that paper to which Mr. Nye took exception, is in advance of "Buster Brown," which was recently seen at Martinsburg and other points in West Virginia. The seats for "The Old Clothes Man" and for Wilton Lackaye in "The Bondman" will go on sale Thursday at Christie's. Already a large number of seats have been engaged for Saturday night. Seats are now selling for "A Contented Woman," which Mr. Powell is booming particular. It is under the same management as "York State Folks," which opened the Grand. This week promises to be an important one from an entertainment standpoint. Harry Mack, who is in advance of the Old Clothes Man, came back from Morgantown to Sunday in that he thinks is the best town in Virginia. Wilton Lackaye, who will be seen here in both "The Law and the Man," has been seen here in both "The Law and the Man." Miss Henrietta Lee, who has the principal role in "A Contented Woman," which comes to the Grand Wednesday. Yesterday night, many friends were present. Frank McCray is the local conductor of both "The Billboard" and "Show World," and keeps the local newspaper men prominent among the readers of the paper. "Paul Revere's Ride" was one of the best moving pictures ever exhibited in Fairmont and was highly praised by people who visited the Electric Theater last Friday or Saturday. WALLACE PEPPER.

James Buchanan, a well-known Pittsburgh capitalist, declares money is not scarce, but is scared. Because of the amount hidden away, he states, it has been necessary for some corporations to pay in clearing house checks, but on the other hand, he asserts these are just as good as gold. The American people, according to Mr. Buchanan, have shown their good sense by not getting alarmed over the situation. The following article from the New York Evening Mail coincides with the views of Mr. Buchanan: "It is hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but it ought to be harder still to make a national crisis—let alone a panic—out of a crop yield of $7,000,000,000. Seven billion dollars represents the yield of the farms of the United States in 1907. This takes no account of the products of ores, minerals, and chemicals of the earth, which will be well up to another $2,000,000,000." No Ground For Distrust. Seriously, soberly and honestly, what earthly ground is there for distrust as to the future in this favored country? Is there any real material for alarm in corn, and wheat, and oil, and fat cattle and swine, and in gold which grows out of our heaven-enriched soil like robust weeds in a neglected garden? This is no pleasantry; it is sober fact. This country is bursting with fatness, and positively more so than in any other epoch since trusting Puritans and Dutchmen first hitch their oxen to plow the fields of New England and New Amsterdam. "Wealth? It is here, in larger measure than ever. Wealth is just the stuff." Of well-being, and that stuff abounds, until the granaries crack with it. But money, you, say, is scarce. Stop a moment; money is not scarce; it is merely scared. It is all here, somewhere. People may have been playing ducks and drakes with their credit, and extending their schemes to fast. But they have not been burning up their greenbacks, nor running their gold and silver back into the veins and fissures deep down in the dark rocks under ground from which it came. Money White With Fear. "The money has merely gone white with senseless fear, off into timed corners, a mere and mere. It will all come out in a moment, when it finds out what a precious fool it has been. There never was a moment in the history of the country when the condition of the national treasury was better, or when the currency was more solid. The combination of causes that made the trouble in 1873 and 1893? troubles, over-production, commercial disorganization, and so on? is not in evidence now. The main factors are essentially sound. "Our industries are producing regularly. Trade goes on just as usual. So far as their condition is concerned, the producing people out west simply do not know that there is any trouble. Nor is there in New York a man who could give them a satisfactory reason why there should be general and prolonged trouble. "We repeat, it is scared money, not scarce money, that has made this panic a 'panic' without a real leg to stand on, or a cause that is not developing itself." SHINNSTON NOTES. Personals.

His death was due to heart failure. He had the distinction of defeating the late Arthur P. Hornian for United States senator in 1899. It is not because your ad has not been read to you. Judge Mason (Continued from Page One.) "Ten years ago, many men paid attention to oaths they were required to take in listing their personal property for taxation. Honest men said the bulk of the taxes derived from personal property. It was in time that the judges charged the grand jury on the subject. A wonderful change has taken place. The man who now fills to make a correct list of his property takes desperate chances. Every honest citizen knows this is right and we all are happier than the change has come. We can now see that the tax dodger is simply posing unjust burdens on his neighbor, and he is no longer tolerated, or respected. Additional Illustrations might be given but these are sufficient, I take to show that laws can be enforced, and they serve also to prove what is exceedingly gratifying to me, that as people we are not losing our respect for the law, or becoming a community of law breakers. "Many things have contributed to these reforms but the most potent influence is the awakened and conclamatory public sentiment. No court can enforce law without the aid of a sound public endorsement and sympathy. Indeed, there must be more than mere public sympathy, there must be the active support of the community. Faith is no more essential than works. If men believe in the enforcement of law, they should hold the courts in accomplishing it." ood men must correct the erroneous otlon that It is humiliating for them > go before the grand juries. This Is n erroneous notion. Prosecutions so ir as possible should be carried on y the best men of the community, be courts will then have faith In tlio roprlety of the prosecution and will live the testimony of men upon whom ley can rely. Then, gentlemen, above all things i oruer 10 maue prosecutions eltoevo, they must be conducted with drness. Every person who Is alike iust be treated alike.

We can never reform men I by call in them vile names or otherwise Insulting them. The State does not want any of its citizens, hung, Imprisoned or lined. What it wants Is good citizens. As for this court, I can sincerely say that it gives me great pain to take from any one his liberty or property. I wish that all prisons could be torn down?not one stone left upon another, and this is possible, but the reform will have to come from the law-breaking element. "When they quit the courts, will quit, and not until then. These men should realize that they make prisons and fines necessary. The law is kind even to the lawless. The laws of the country protect the lawless citizen in everything except his lawlessness just as it protects the good citizen. It is just as much an offense to steal from thief, or kill a murderer, as any one else. The mob who takes a confessed felon of the worst type from prison and kills, are murderers and may be punished as any other. Other murderers. The law breaker then has no grounds for complaint. He is protected in his rights and only punished on account of the things he does of his own free will and accord. He is his own executioner. "Then, gentlemen, if we continue to execute the laws in this spirit—with firmness and with malice toward none and charity for all," we shall create a public sentiment in favor of law and order which, if does not wholly drive the law-maker from our midst, will make it easy for the courts to properly and effectively administer justice."
