games of the season was the one

The Morgantown boys batted their
balls all over the field, doing some of
the best batting ever seen on the
ground. The The Nonpareils won
the toss sending our nine to the bat.
Until the third inning not score was
made on either side, when the Il. Il
Rs. commenced playing and made
seven scores. After this it was plain
sailing, and Notwithstanding some
errors on the side of the r. a. Rs. that
under any other circumstances would
have been fatal, the Nonpareils sue
cceded in making but one run. The

The fourth inning Jno. Kiger put
the Mons. out by catching three foul
bounds. John had better get coop.
The Mons. excel in fumbles, three
strikes and mufls. One or two had
their fingers burned catching at "hot"
balls.

or three fouls, when some fellow in
the crowd raised laugh by telling
him to stake his hat
The Mons. lay their defeat on the
absence of Barefoot Billy" who did
not play Saturday. He was one Of
the best men in the club.
The University Nine will endeavor
to take the belt next Saturday. They
will have to do some excellent play
ing. We look for good game.
"Tim" Vangilder's two base hit

the slippers, presented by S. d..

university first, Morgantown
next" seems to be the sentiment of
the students, unwilling to see the
boys defeated save by the University
nine.
The only man on the ground who
experienced anything like the warmth
the Mons. did, was jim Burns. He
accidentally drove his horses into q
humble bees nest.
AS flowers arc plenty at this sea-
son of the year, a few bouquets will
be in order on next Saturday. Boys
mention this to your sisters and your
cousins and your aunts."
Joe Dcyine's good luck deserted
him Saturday. He was forced out
twice, once on foul, and was put
out once at first. Never mind Joe,
next Saturday will be your turn.
The Mons. didn't want to excuse
Joseph's back but their umpire who
was so anxious to judge, couldn't
help them any. Spaulding's Rules
and the views of Of the r. d RS are
synonymous.
Hen. Hayes does not wear those
golden slippers, those high colored
socks, those polkadot stripes and
those mask for nothing" He put
the Mons. out by the wholesale tax
ing three of them in one inning.
Captain MADEIRA may well be proud
of his position, his men are by all
odds the best behaved set Of players
we ever saw in one nine, and ms this
is good assurance Of their confidence
in him, it speaks we'll for his leader
ship.
Quite number of ladies occupied
the Grandstand during the game.
Indeed the boys declared their pres
ence added considerably to their
playing in the way of encouragement,
and will be pleased to see them at
any game they play.
When the r. & RS become wealthy
through much playing, they should
pension off the "kids" about this
place who so nobly acted their part
of yelling. The "kids' of Morgan
town can make more racket to the
square inch, than any set in the State.
Evans had no more business with
a mask than dog had for tincan
attached to his tail, it was no sur
prise to the crowd when he let ball
slip and the mask cut his face. He
also received several heavy body
blows. He is a very plucky player,
and had sore hand beside his other
bruises. REX.

PoRFITs OF SHEEP RAISING. The
Inder gives the following statement
of the success of a Marion County
farmer in sheep raising: In 1881 Mr.
Isaac Hunsa.ser, Of Grant district
wintered 30 sheep, which cost him
about 800. During that year he
sold 1921 worth of wool and sheep.
So far in this year he has sold SOL
worth Of wool, and lambs and year
lings amounting to $175. Mr.. Hun
saker lost two sheep since the pur-
chase of the lot of 20, and has Is at
present. He thus realized nearly
$300.in less than two years on an
investment of 500. What business
in this section pays better than sheep
raising? OF course, as Mr. Hunsak-
CT remarked to us, the business will
not be profitable without it is given
some attention. A good breed of
sheep and proper care Of them is
necessary to attain success.

DIED IN THE WooDs-STRANGE AND
SUDDEN DEATH OF Mrs. DANIEL Mil
LER, OF PRESTON CoUNTY.-Daniel Mil
Ter and his wife, who are up in the
seventies perhaps, lived in a small
house on the farm of S. F. Conner,
Esq. The farm adjoins the town of
Bruceton. On last Saturday Mrs.
Miller, went from her home over to
the house of Justice VIM. Hagans,
about one mile distant. She was a
large, healthy looking woman, and
ON starting from Mr.. Hagans' re-
marked that she was as spry as a
young girl. There is a wood between
Mr. Hagans' and the cabin of Mr..
Miller; and while going through this,
Mrs. Miller was attacked witt heart
disease or apoplexy; at least, one of
the Mr.. Cupps, while passing along,
heard some one groaning. Pro-
ceeding in the direction whence the
sound came, he found Mrs. Miller
lying on the ground, almost dead.
She being large woman Mr.. Cupp
fastened back to Mr.. Hagans'
for assistance. When he returned
the woman was dead -Kingrood

ANOTHER SUNDAY FIRE.-On Sun
day last the violent ringing Of the
University bell disturbed the usual
quiet of the day, and coupled with
the cry of fire, soon produced con
siderable commotion in town.. The
fire was discovered to be in the roof
of Mr.. Daniel Fordyce's elegant resi-
dence, North of the University, but
by the prompt assistance of the
neighbors it was soon conquered. 1t
no doubt originated from the kitchen
chimney, and had been smouldering
for considerable time before break
ing out 1t was first discovered, we
believe, by Omer Koontz and Frank
Vandervort who were passing along
the road. The damage will probably
amount to less than 800.

No Court ON TuEsDAY.-Judge
Fleming has directed the clerk to an
nouncc that Circuit Court will con-
vene on Wednesday October 11th in
stead Of the 10th. The law does not
compel jurors and witness to attend
upon election day, hence the change.
IT is the easiest thing in the world
to distinguish between gentleman
and asaob. The gentleman is always
quiet, unobstrusive, unpretending,
and has too much self-respect either
to force himself on the notice of others
or clamor for the consideration of the
undisceriing. On the contrary, the
snob is loud, aggressive, pompous and
pretentious, blows his horn wherever
he goes and thinks to command con-
sideration by demanding it. He of
ten does; for all people are not dis
corning. and swagger and pretence go
a long way with many.-Brownsriile

We even heard an enthusiastic prep.
declare the faculty was n. e.. be-
cause it did not organize itself into
base ball club, and challenge these
one-horse colleges of our State. We
suppose they would call themselves
some appropriate name, as the "Six
Day Nine" "Heavy MARKERS" etc.
The props. have formed nine which
we suggest they call "Small Potatoes,
hard to dig"
Anything that creates desire for
pure literature among the students
should be heartily encouraged by the
Faculty. IT'S noticeable fact that
with the average student, at least
there seems to be no particular taste
for the solid in literature. An enter
prise now originated among the rep
resentative students, and backed by
the endorsement of Major Lee, is to
present to the public of Morgantown,
the play of "Virginius,'' under the
auspices of the Cadet Corps, and the
direct supervision of the Major. This
is noble play, and K properly stud
led, and performed it will be equal
to years work in Efocution. We
think President Wilson places too
high value upon oratorical and
dramatic education, not to give 1t
his hearty cooperation, and If prop
erly encouraged we have no reason
to suppose this will prove an abortive
attempt, as everything Of this kind
has for the last year or two failed, all
Cor want of a little co operation on the
part of the Faculty.

STILL A

There is no explanation Of the Phenix
Park tragedy as yet. The deed must
have been done with consummate skill
to cover up the villains tracks, or else
the police of England are not entitled to
all the shrewdness with which they are
credited. 1t is one of those mysterious
crimes which have no apparent concert
with any other human person. To either
Fenian or Land Lacquer it could be of no
possible service, and neither of those or.
carnations in the present state OF public
opinion would risk mourning the odium
which such senseless, purposeless, brutal
wickedness must of necessity arouse. On
the other hand, the assassination is of
5uch a character that, unlike the Clerk
enwell explosion, even the most rabid
adherent Of the fortunes OF Ireland would
not dare ascribe il to the Vaccinations OF
a governing clique determined to dis
count adversaries by heaping the stigma
OF outrage upon their shoulders. There
is but one miserable conclusion that can
be arrived at, on the basis OF circumstan-
tial evidence, and that is that there are
miscreants, false alike to Ireland and to
England, false, possibly, also to an
adopted country and a haven Of refuge,
who will not have peace and reconcilia-
ton lest their devilish demagogism
should be a drug on the market.

The latest dispatch is to the effect that
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia have had a four hours confer
ence on Guiteau's case and that they will
unanimously agree to sustain the findings
of the Court below by which the assassin
was condemned to be hanged. The last
prop is now gone and he will expiate his
crime on the gallows on the 30th day of
June prox. For the sake of justice, for
the sake of responsibility of the law in
the United States, and for the sake of
common sense that would have been out.
ragged by a contrary decision in this
seemingly plain case, everybody ought to
be satisfied with this issue. Morbid in.
terest in the criminal will be on the in.
crease until, and eliminate in fever heat
on, the day of his hanging. There is a
story abroad that he has a budget of
toothsome things to tell about people
high in politics and Office that were
implicated with him one way and an.
other in the assassination. If he can
substantiate such a story by corroborat.
ing circumstances, it will be believed;
otherwise, it will prove as unsubstan-
tial as his "inspiration" theory.
