MILAN, Feb 20.-Have you examined
your telephone since the lightning Mon
day night.
Last Wednesday evening occurred the
leap year party of the Black Hawk social
club. A large number were pre- sent Mrs.
Slator was the efficient floor manager,
They all had first class time until the wee
small hours of the morning
Last Friday evening we received tele-
phone message that Mr.. PeetZ's jewelry
store had been robbed, and to notify Off
GERS; Marshal Heverling at once got ready
for war; he also notified Carnahan to
watch for them and to close the gate, while
he would bring up the rear. 7. j. was
watching, and well equipped in case of an
emergency and watching for three men
and sleigh. On meeting two men and u
sleigh it somewhat batiied his skillful ar
rangement to,encounter the three burglars.
We do not believe that p. J 5 veracity as
an officer would allow him to look around
for shotgun; we do not vouch for him
as the story goes goes that he was making
tracks for large culvert shortly after he
met them However, Mr.. Heverling in
his official manner, has been very much
criticised although beyond a doubt if he
had done as he ought to have done, by
staying at the toll gate at the request OF
the gate keeper, it is quite probable that
with the assistance of several more they
| would have arrested them.
Last Friday the Milan social club, by
invitation of the ladies, had second lear
year hop. The usual number attended,
and good time is reported.
One of our bloods went to Rock ISLAND
on Sunday to have good time. lie mus
have had good time from the looks oil
his eyes on Monday morning Some
double twister must have exercised goot
| Judgment, as he found his assailant only
an amateur.
Mr.. Downing, of Rock Island, was
driving through town on Sunday, and me
with what might have been a serious
accident In trying to arrange something
fabout the sleigh and driving at the SAINT
time, drove over high ridge. The lad,
in the sleigh with him went backwards
over the seat. Fortunately she was no
hurt any.
G. M. Dickson was home on Sunday
He returned to Beloit, Wisconsin, Mon

A GENUINE SURPRISE.

Many persons when suffering from
Rheumatism or Neuralgia remain indiffer-
ent to what will benefit them, because
they have tried multitude of remedies in
vain. Let no man or woman despond till
Athlophoros has been tried. Says Rev.
Charles E. Harris, of New Haven: WAS
advised to try AthlophOros for acute
Rheumatism, but paid no attention to it,
regarding the specific as among the thous-
and and one other things advertised as
cures. But after time tried it, and
found that it acted like charm. Have
been quite free from disease ever since. "

WHEREAS, 1t is the custom OF such
assemblies to adjourn with certain
resolutions and rs people often look
to the resolutions of such assemblies
for some index Of the effect of their
proceedings; therefore, be it
Resoieed, By the Monongalia
County Teachers Institute:
|, That the work of the Institute
has been practical and thorough;
that the teachers have taken an nc
tive part, and feel that they have
been inspired with renewed energy
and devotion for rheir work, that they
will return to their schools with bet
ter methods Of teaching, and that the
Institute has been success.
2, That we have appreciated the
work done by the Conductor, the
County Supt., Revs Finney and Craw
ford and also we acknowledge our in
debtedness to Miss DUNCAN of Steu-
benville, and others whose experience
will help tighten our labor, also to
the Morgantown School Board for the
use of the Public School Building.
3, That, while we feel the great
help of tue Institute, we recognize
the fact that to teach is a rarer quail
ification than to know; hence we be-
lieve these institutions should in
clude still more pratical methods of
teaching us how to teach.
A, That we feel the necessity of
books beyond mere school texts and
will encourage district libraries with
all proper efforts, as the surest means
of securing that all important self-ed-
ucation.
5, That we heartily favor School
Journals, wherein the best plans of
the best teachers are laid down to
guide him who reads
6, That we favor increased tenure
of Office for teachers. and certificates
for a term of years, having more
thorough test by examinations.
7, That the welfare of the school
children demands an elementary
knowledge of Physiology on the part
If the teacher.
8, That we, regardless Of political
or religious faith, regret that the
management of the University should
in any way be called in question, and
offer our unprecedented support in the
hope that the worst is only fear.
8, That, in view Of the fact that a
great deal of wanton destruction or
defacing of school property is going
on in various places, and believing
ourselves the guardians of said prop
erty. we will earnestly endeavor TO
keep posted a circular reciting the
law on this subject, and further would
call the attention Of the proper state
authority that such posters he pub
lished by the state and conspicnously
placed in every school house In West
Virginia.
10, That we recommend the 2na
Friday in November of each year to
be known and observed rs Mononea
liza County Arbor Day.
IL. That we recognize in B. s. Nor
gan an efficient school officer and one
very excelently qualified Cor the Of
fee Of State Superintendent.

CARR-0n Saturday August 23d,
at Mountain Lake Park, of consump
ton, Maria, wife Of DIR. l.. Logan
Carr, of Fairmont, in her 9th year
Mrs. Carr was most excellent WON
an; consistent christian from her
childhood; a tender, true and devoted
wife, and loving mother Hers was
a cheerful, sunny nature and her
presence always added happiness to
the social and family circle. Her
death has cast gloom over the
household that will not be dispelled.
For many months she had been
suffering from the effects of that fell
destroyer, consumption, but not
murmur escaped her lips, She APP
preached the dark river full of con
tidence, trusting implicitly in her
Savior and assuring her friends of
her readiness to 90.
On Monday a large concourse of
friends assembled at the residence of
her father, Mr. John W. Mccoy, to
pay their last tribute to friend.
The remains of the loved one were
tenderly laid to rest amid many tears,
IN picturesque spot near her old
home, overlooking the town and the
Monongahela, to await the resurrec-
ton.
The bereaved friends, the husband
and especially the motherless little
hoy have our deepest sympathy.
