Hon, James Hare Badly Hurt,

Hon. James Hare fell from a wheat
stack at his home in Union district
last Saturday and received injuries
that are likely to prove quite serious.
When he fell Mr.. Hare struck his
right side on top of post and frac-
tured several of his ribs and also in
jured one of his lungs. DR.. Fitch
was called and did what he could for
Mr.. Hare's relief. At last accounts
he was better but still suffering
much. We hope to hear of his com
plete recovery at an early day.

The Regents, Meeting.

The meeting of the Regents here
last week made some important adj
ditions to the work of the Expert
ment Station and arranged to har-
monte the work of our Experiment
Station with the work of the Stations
of other States. Prof. II. Z. Alvord,
Director of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Station, was present as rep
resentative of the Department of
Agriculture and addressed the Board
on the Stations and voiced the views
of the department in relation there
to- He expressed himself well pleas
ed at the progress made by our Sta
ton, admired very much the build
ing and fixtures, and predicted that
it would become great blessing to
our farmers. The Station will soon
be fully equipped and ready to do the
work designed for it in most salts
factory manner. The resignation of
Prof. Edw. S. Elliott was heard and
accepted and A. J. Hare, of Morgan
town, and III. G. Stoetzer, of Wheel
ing, were then elected tutors in the
preparatory department at salaries
Of 800 per anumn each. Formerly
Prof. Elliott was the tutor with two
others selected from the students in
the senior class, but from now on
this work will be done by Messrs,
Hare and Steotzer These selections
were both wise ones and the young
members of the facult will discharge
well the duties devolving upon
them.
Miss Maggie Morrow, of Fairmont,
was elected librarian of the Univer-
sity at salary of $500 year. Miss
Morrow is daughter of the late
James Morrow, Jr., and is in every
way fitted for the position.
DIR. Hartigan was, at the instance
Of Lieut.. Avis, elected as surgeon of
the cadet corps. The object of this
is to keep the attendance at drills
good. No excuse from any physi-
clan will be valid hereafter except
the surgeon, and sham illness will
probably be abolished.
The building committee deliber-
ated quite time on the letting of
the contract for the new building,
and finally adjourned postponing the
letting of the contract till next sum-
mer. The building, therefore, will
not be erected this year, as the ar
rangement was that it should be.
The selection of chemist for the
Station was left to DR.. Turner and
Prof. Myers.
The Board attended TO some other
business of an entirely routine ma
ture and on Friday the members left
for their various homes.

Resumption of the Military Interest.

Since the meeting of the line Off
GERS of the First West Virginia regi-
ment at Fairmont last week the in
terest in the Brown Guards has ma
terially revived and Capt. Miller
confidently expects to muster the
boys out inside of the next month to
the number of 40 in the ranks. The
militia appropriation has already
been made, and the gentleman refer
red to above was in conference with
the officers about it, and it was the
general opinion that it would be or
dered expended for uniforms and
equipments in a few days. The
West Virginia militia will then be
part and parcel of the National
Guards and will receive a more con-
siderable recognition than at any
time formerly. The appropriation
will uniform 40 odd men from Com
pany 1 Brown Guards) and the or
der to take measures for uniforms is
expected almost daily.
1t will be no trouble to find 40
good men and true to enlist again.
When the company was first organ
lied enlistments we're plenty and
without the glittering promise of
free uniforms, too. The regulations
under the new modus operandi will
be slightly different, in that if a man
enlists is mustered in and gets his
uniform, when notified of drill he
will have to drill or give some valid
excuse, otherwise his uniform can
be taken from him by court martial
and punishment of some descrip-
ton inflicted. But the boys who
will compose Company l are the
kind that love to drill and will not
have to be compelled to do it. The
military fever had about subsidized
here, but the glittering prospect now
in view has once again intensified
the malady and the boys once more
long to be in the ranks.

SOmmcTCc Will give VIC prOpoSlJlOu
made BY Walter Snyder, of Philadel.
phia. which is published in another
column, due consideration. 1t will
require but little trouble to investi-
gate the matter and if then found to
promise well, to take action looking
to the establishment of the factory
Numerous industries could be estab-
lished in Morgantown within the
next twelve months if proper efforts
were made by our people.
IT SEEMS that the bringing of nat
ural gas to this place is only mat
ter of very short time. We under
stand that the company that sup
plies Morgantown intends, if the
noted Miller well proves to be gas
ser, of which there is some little
probability, to commence at an early
day to pipe the gas here We may
be using the stuff by Christmas.
Who knows?-Inder. True enough
who does? The comforts and con-
veniences of the fuel and illuminant
are innumerable and we'd be pleased
to see You enjoying them, neighbors.
ALL this talk about being careful
of refuse, bearing disease germs will
amount to nothing if some persons
can't be stopped from throwing all
the filth of the kitchen and bed
room into the back yard. Persons
passing some places in town are
compelled to hold their noses on &C
count of the sitting smells that en-
anate from such places. Homes OF
such careless people to-day have
sick children and the parents ignor-
antly inquire what can be done to
help the little ones. The thing to
do is TO be ON the safe side such
weather as this and to be on the
safe side too much care cannot be
taken in the cleanliness of ones
premises. It is an old fashioned
idea to keep the back yard clean,
but it is bealthful one.
