WILL some one please tell us why a
number of our citizens buy their cloth
ing from Wheeling tailors when they
can get goods of the same quality at
home for less money? We have seen
suits made at O'Kelly's that were
superior to suits of the same cost that
are made IN Wheeling. If you want
a good outfit go to F. X. O'Kelly's and
he will guarantee you satisfaction. 1t
wont cost you anything to go and see
goods and get their prices.

According to announcement of last
week, Hon. O. $. Long, of Wheeling,
delivered his Evening with Ameri
can Poets to large audience in the
University Chapel on Monday even
ing the 18th. As at first stated by
the speaker no lecturer could within
the limited time given review the en-
tire field of American poetry. Con
trary to the declaration of distin-
guished predecessor Of his from the
chapel stage, he asserted that Ameri
ca had literature of her own, and
that Longfellow was the equal of
Tennyson and Motley of Macauley.
All the various styles of American
poetry were noticed and selections
from the majority of the best Ameri-
can authors read in such manner as
to call forth repeated demonstrations
of appreciation and applause, among
them were the "Old School House" of
Whittier, "Thanatopsis" of Bryant,
THE Wonderful One boss Shay" of
Holmes, selections from SAKE, Bret
Harte, Edgar A.Poe and others. The
lecture will certainly have it's effect
upon the Morgantown reader of po-
etry. He will no doubt read American
authors, with keener relish and greater
admiration than heretofore. The lee
turc gave abundant evidence of Mr..
Longs acquaintance with American
poetry ofall classes, and the applause
ofthe audience showed its appreciation
ofhis manner ofrcndering the selections
chosen. The lecture was concluded
with an address to the students incour-
aging them to cherish an ambition to
become good writer's in some depart
ment of literature.
The attendance at the University
on Monday evening was greater than
at any previous lecture of the course.
The amount subscribed to the cap
ital stock of the Railroad 10y the mem
bers Of the Faculty shows a spirit Of
enterprise not often manifested by
College Professors.
The last Senior and Junior perform
ance for the year will take place on
on Friday the 22d at 2 o'clock. The
list of the performers and their sub
jccts are as follows: OF the Senior
class, Dayton, "Modern Slavery of
Thought Rich, "Cannons Never
Ccacc to Roar Lee, "Moncy the
American Idol" Courtney, "Chinese
Immigration;" Morgan, Byron"
Marsh, "king Lear" OF the Junior
class: Purinton, "Chance," Wade,
prison Reform
We are likely to have almost as
many students carolled for the pres
ent year as there ereduring the most
prosperous year the University ever
had in the past.

SAD ACCrDENT-FATAL RESULT
Last Thursday, while engaged, with
several other men, in rafting timber
near the mouth of Deckers Creek,
John Smith (familiarly known as
Cato) met with an accident which re-
suited in his death. There has been
a large lot of timber lying here for
some time, some of the sticks having
settled into the ground and become
fast. To loose three large ones that
were lying together, Smith took a
handspike and stepped upon one of
the three, prying at the lower one,
which suddenly started down the
bank, throwing him in front of it.
He was struck by the log, receiving
fatal internal injuries besides having
the flesh literally torn from one of his
legs. A stretcher was procured and
kind hands carried the unfortunate
man to his home amid his groans
and prayers from the excruciating
pain he was suffering. The best of
medical aid was soon procured, but
nothing could be done to save the
sufferer. He breathed his last at s
o'clock on Saturday evening. He
leaves a wife and several children in
destitute circumstances. He was
buried on Sunday afternoon at the
graveyard on f. j. Evans farm.

CLEAR THE TRACK.
THE RAILROAD Is COMING.
Enth uSiastic Meeting Mt the
Court-H1ousc.

Pursuant to notice, the railroad
meeting convened at the court house
on last Saturday at one o'clock T. NJ.
There was large attendance, the
court room being filled with people so
that many were unable to procure
seats, but listened to the speeches
patiently and attentively standing
We noticed in the audience many of
our most substantial capitalists and
we now feel well assured that the
farmers, mechanics and workingmcn
of Monongalia county are determined
that the railroad must and shall be
built. We believe they have the
pluck and energy to construct this
road and develop their wealth, all the
old fogies and croakers to the contra
ry Notwithstanding. The meeting
was organized by electing Col. F, w.
Thompson, president. Hon. W. T.
Wiley, the Vice Pres't. of the Pitts
burgh, West Virginia q Southern
railroad company, first addressed the
meeting and with his customary clio
quence urged the Importance of the
immediate construction of this road,
showing the many advantages that
our people would gain thereby. Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss made a short speech
in which he also forcibly stated the
reasons for building the road. Rev.
j. II. Thompson followed with an
able argument in favor of the enter
prise and dealt some heavy blows up
on the cringing, croaking money
misers who are too stingy to sub
scribe stock to help construct the
road, but expect to reap the BENEFITS
of it when built. Urging men to give
till it piached them, rs in that way
only could they expect the necessary
amount of money tobc raised. Hon.
j. NJ. Hagans and others made short
speeches, after which the books were
opened and some $3.50 subscribed
to the capital stock of the road.
The following are the subscriptions
SO far as we could obtain them:

IT is no great wonder, after all,
that 20 many unfortunate mortals
live in obscurity, die in poverty and
drop into oblivion, when we come to
consider that all men are the archi-
tects of their own fortunes. There
arc lots of men who loaf about the
street corners who haven't enough
life and energy about them to be the
architects of hoe handle.-Er.
