The equinoxiaI storm il due to-
day, which necessitates the use Of
more natural gas than usual. Sweet
spring will now follow and garden
making and tree frogs as = natural
consequence.
TIE executive committee Of the
University will meet here the first
week in April. One Of the question:
that will arise for the consideration
of that body will be the practicable
ty Of putting natural gas in the heat
ers Of the buildings.
The Chamber OF Commerce has

Ar the municipal election held at

license or no licecse, and the whisky
men carried the day by 20 majority
and sitter the county court, OF that

tie easier to get than we hear has

THE English sparrows have been
multiplying until they seem to have
Of the town. Song birds
are consequently not so numerous as
they used to beat least that is the
impression; but Billy Price says
that in "Ole Hingland where the
sparrows are supposed to flourish
there are just as many song birds as
we have" Does anybody dispute it,
The young ladies and gentlemen
Of the Presbyterian Church intend
to present a serio comic drama to
the amusement Loving public very
early in April, entitled "Uncle Jack,
or, Testing Hearts," in Academy

assure the young people a large at

an opera house was needed didn't
your Go into the building associa-

One man is converted to favoring
an opera house here who all the time
has opposed it. We refer to DR..
The reason for his change
of opinion Is the introduction Of
natural gas. When seeing Charlie
Hayes work the lever In his store by
which all the lights in the store can
be turned up and down at will, he
said, "that's just the thing for the
foot lights and for darkening an
opera house suddenly. From this on
l will favor the erection ola opera
house and will work for it and put
money into it, The opera house
will be built how, sure.
T. P1cKENPAUGH has fully decided,
If he cannot settle his claims, to put

SOME Of Dr. Morris old friends at
Uniontown told him on the occasion
of his recent visit to that place that
a boom couldn't be kept away from
here now, no matter how much peo-
pie would kick against it, if they
were disposed to kick. This was
welcome news to our progressive fell
and he assured his friends
that the only disposition regarding a
boom our people have is to bring it
right along and Chat all things tend
ing that way would have kindly re-
ceptions and all reasonable induce
ments would be extended. The peo-
pie across the line have more faith
in the progress for which we are des-
tined than some people here have.

THERE was once a Chautauqua
Circle in Morgantown that, during
the short period Of it's existence,
proved to be very instructive and
was source of much pleasure to
many persons here of literary incli-
nations. 1t died out in few months
for lack of attendance We see no
reason why the interest in this very
worthy organization should not be
revived. This is rated as the most
literary place in the State and if
such reputation is to be sustained
some society for mental culture
should be organized after the idea
which Chautauqua Circle suggests.
The New DOMINION is willing to do
all in it's power for the promotion of
this move and we would be gratified
to see some one take the matter in
hand and take the preliminary steps
to it's organization.
