School ELECTION. - On Tuesday
next, May 18th, Superintendent OF
Schools for this county and Board
of Education for each district will be
elected. These officers will serve
for two years. For Superintendent
there is but one candidate so far, viz
Prof B. S. Morgan, the present in
cumbent. 1t seems that he will be
elected by common consent without
opposition. This move on the part
of our people we regard as very Judi
cious. No better or more efficient
officer could be chosen.
In Grant and Cass districts q vote
will also be taken upon the PROPOSE
ton of subscribing 500, 900 to certain
railroad enterprises. This will be
overwhelmingly defeated.
We have received instruction from
but one district-Grant-in refer
ence to the Board of Education; that
being the only district that has for
mally put ticket in the field. We
would be glad to hear, at once from
the other districts in reference to
tickets. If they desire to have them,
orders should be sent in at once.
We trust efficient Boards will be
selected in all parts Of the county,
that will cooperate with the Super
intendent, thus assuring US of the
usefulness Of the schools for the next
two years.

RUNNING NEwspAPER.-An ex-
change says: "A paper to be first
class must receive first-class patron
age. First-class patronage consists
in every subscriber paying his sub
scription in advance, patronizing the
job department instead of sending the
work to foreign offices, and in various
ways giving the paper your support
and encouragement. Giving paper
your moral support by taking and
reading it, and not paying for it, will
not do. Moral Support was never
known to run newspaper; moral
support cannot be utilized when ink
and paper bills are to be paid. The
men who work upon newspapers are
human, and enjoy corn beef and cab
hage. as well as other people. The
atmosphere in this locality contains a
large amount Of ozone and is very
bracing, the scenery very grand and
picturesque, but nevertheless it seems
to be one of natures laws that one
can't pay for printing material with
ozone or feed workmen on beautiful
scenery.

DOUGLASS GOES BACK-THE GRANT
COUNTY MURDERER AGAIN SENTENCED
FOR LIFE.-A correspondent of the
Intelligencer writing from Keyser
under date Of May 9th says: VIM.
Seymour Douglass, for tho second
time on trial for the murder Of the
mail carrier Hizer, in Grant county,
was yesterday convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, being the
same as the previous sentence. The
verdict seems to have given general
satisfaction to the public. The opin-
ion is that it was plain and clear
case of murder. Even the prisoner
does not deny having murdered the
boy. Saturday night it was the gen.
eral topic of conversation on the
streets, and motion for new trial,
which will be heard Monday, will be
quashed by Judge Armstrong. Col
onel Robert White, Of Wheeling for
the defense, and C. w. Daley, of
Mineral county, for the common
wealth, made the closing remarks,
which we're listened to with the
deepest interest. The prisoner took
the sentence very coolly, making the
remark that he twas surprised the
jury didn't bring in a verdict Of
hanging" This trial took up the
whole term OF court.

THE WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
CLASS IN GEOLOGY, in charge of
Prof. I. G. White-one Of our Ameri-
can field biologists, as his volumes on
the Pennsylvania survey and his pa
pers in The Virginids attest,-start-
ed on its annual geological tour May
4th. The route selected for observa-
tion and exploration is: Down the
Ohio, in boat from Wheeling to
Point Pleasant (Great Kanawha-
mouth), ascertaining the geological
facts along the Ohio, Of which we
have no definite knowledge as yet;
then up.the Great Kanawha, spending
week in studying its vast coal field
concerning which definite continuous
Information is badly needed just now
where railway lines are entering it and
old ones are seeking to develop it by
extending branches to where its best
coal beds are most accessible. From
the Kanawha field it is proposed to
go to Richmond, Va, by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Richmond & Al
leghany railways, examining the
grand geological sections and great
iron ore mines along those roads,
then return by way of Chesapeake q
Ohio Ry. to Waynesboro, the Shen-
andoah Valley R. R, to Shenandoah
junction, stopping at the Luray cav
erns, at iron ore beds, limestone
quarries, &c. and back to the Univer-
sity by way of the Baltimore d Ohio.
Prof. White and his students
make party of round dozen, and we
question whether any portion of the
Union can match these sturdy West
Virginia mountain boys. (The Prof.
himself is West Virginian and will
always be boy in enthusiasm in his
professional science) in muchsomen-
ess of all things that enter into the
make Up of manly men.-We bespeak
for them the greetings and hospitality
that such young men on such mis-
sion are fairly entitled to. Our read
ers will have from Prof. White some
