The oil shipments have been keep

mains on or about September l and
the prices for service pipes are given.
All who have signed for water are
notified that they can now make
their connections.
The regents are here and will be
in session to-day. The most i'm
portant business will be in connec-
tion with the Experiment Station, it
being probable that the scope of it's
work will be enlarged. A librarian
will also be elected. Candidates for
this position are legion.

In speeding his horse on the mile
pround last Thursday evening DR..
Hartigan had the mishap of having
the seat accidentally knocked off his
road cart. By the way, the Doctors
horse is getting fine record and
now ranks as one of the swiftest,
if not the swiftest, trotter in town.
We have been very busy this
season in fact the best summer
trade we ever had, but there re-
mains still many goods on hand,
our stock is too large for the
present time. We are making
great preparations for fall and
the goods must be sold. Great
inducements for you at Hirsch-
mans.
The Huntington base ball team
say that the victory over Grafton
does not decide the championship of
the state and that it is great gall in
deed for the club here to say it does.
Well, the club here has gall enough
to tackle Huntington at any time
she may send her challenge, and the
championship will then be decided
definitely, and in our favor, too;
don't forget that.
The Assembly is now in session
at Mountain Lake Park and the
number of people present is far in
excess of any previous year This
season Morgantown has been more
numerously represented than at any
time formerly, many being there
now, others who have never been
there going and some who have
made one visit purpose another be-
fore rhe close of the season.
MrsTREzAT's Ochestra returned
from Mountain Lake Park Thurs
day. During their stay they gave
two pay concerts and realized on
them handsomely. They also played
every day for the different exercises
at the auditorium and serenaded
till everyone of the visitors was COM
pletely carried away with the lovely
they know so well how to
produce. This Ochestra is one of
the acquisitions to Morgantown of
which we are all proud.
WE LEARN that some of our most
ardent good horsefesh admirers are
having a half mile track graded on
the Koontz place, Flats, and that
several speed exhibitions are to be
given this fall. The track at the
fair ground is only third mile track,
and, it is said, not good for racing,
The new track is not meant so ex-
elusive for races as it is for train
ing ground for colts. We note with
pleasure this growing interest in
good horses which is becoming mani
fest here.

thias day at Mountain Lake Park,

tion and comfort of the great throng
of X. P.'s that will be present The
home lodge will be there numerously.
The New York Star says: ct. W.
Anderson has in his possession a
flintlock musket which has a curl
Gus history. 1t was the gift of Will

Islands. The latter presented it to
one of his Governors and upon his

Minister of finance. He sold it to
Captain Cheever, who took it to San
Francisco, and the latter sold it to
Colonel H. O. Ryerson. The Colonel
presented it to Mr.. Anderson's faith
