George John to the Rescue.

Mr.. George M. John who has fig
ured in financial circles in this place
for many years as 81 are and SOL
id business man and whose reputa-
tion in society has been that of zone
of the finest,' now has project in
his fruitful brain that he proposes to
make practical. 1t is to build an
opera house and to manage the same
himself A few days ago he made a
liberal offer for the lot ON Main
street known as the Warren lot,
on which site the proposed opera
house is to be erected. The plan is
for large two-story building, frame,
with elegantly appointed ana mod
ern interior, including gallery. Mr.
John says the building will cost a
bout $4,000 and he is confident of a
fair return on his investment. The
building is to be exclusively the
alter building, no stores, offices or
anything therein besides the appli-
ances and other ct cetera of giving
shows and arrangements for specta-
tors to see the same. Should Mr..
Johns offer be accepted the work of
building will at once Regin and be
finished for the Inauguration show
during the holidays.
The plan Of the opera house is
well conceived, not on too large a
scale to be out of the question nor
on too small one for Morgantown-
ers to be ashamed Of He means
business, is full of business, has stud
led the business, understands the
business and will make a success OF
the business if he undertakes it,
which he assures us he will do if he
can get suitable location at rea-
sonable figure.
We will hope he will build the the
alter and can but say that he can re-
ly ON large returns.

marriage and was resident of this
place before she and her mother re-
moved to Kingwood. This little son

ton was made that the child was
totally blind and upon expert ex-
animation it was found that it was
born in that condition. The child'f

University Notes.


The Columbians appointed Mr..
Vickers a committee of One to in
vestigate the causes of delay ON the
part of the committee appointed
some time ago to arrange for spec
ial program. We may expect re-
port soon, now.
The high pressure line of gas run
ming to the college gives promise of
serious rupture in the near future
if not modified. Besides 8 or A
flaws along the line ON and near the
campus, there are several leaks un-
der the old building, making it dan
gerous for the young men who room
there to remain over night. This is
careless state Of affairs to say the
least about it.
The order, with few exceptions,
has beenIunusually good in the chap
ell hall for about two weeks. A
wave of propriety has refreshed the
would-be careless.
The students in zoology report an
amusing occurrence which happened
in class few days ago. One of the
class was sent to case to get cast
of the human ear and returned with
the shoulder cap' exclaiming ''Dr.
is this what you want?" Ha, ha, ha,
was the tune to which the class sang
the joke in the major scale.
1t is just little amusing to OBJ
serve how many of the students
when beginning an answer to a
question, open with ivy" &c. Not
a few, however, hear it from those
who occupy the chairs in--ics and
-gy. Children are born mimics
Chapel exercises last Wednesday
morning were unusually interesting
The attention of the students was
very good, and the President read
very nicely and effectively beauti
full portion of the Scriptures.
And still the library grows more
attractive. The windows are now
curtained with handsome blinds and
a new rocking chair and desk adorr
the librarians apartments. But
withal, the President made the start
ling statement in chapel few morn
ings since that upon close investiga
ton, but 20 out of 1873 students at
tending the college were found to bt
using the library at all, further thar
reading the newspapers and eagerly
looking at the pictures" in Puck
Judge, Frank Leslie, and a few
other illustrated journals as regular
| ly as Monday morning came. This
is a fact of which the w. V. U
should justly be ashamed; and al
further comment but subjects US al
to ridicule at this unseemly report
| by those outside, we shall regard
ourselves as members of this com
mon family known as the sliterary'
University, and apply the giftec
novelist's words as very appropriate
here: "She who lifts up the veil O.
her married life has profaned i
from a sanctuary into a vulgar
place."

South MOrgant0wn.

Our enterprising neighbor across
the creek, brings very strong bill
of Indictment against us. They
charge that in all our public i'm
provements they are entirely ignored.
They do not ask or expect to be
aided by this municipality
in any improvements beyond the
corporation line, but they do claim
that common courtesy and the recip-
rocal relations that should exist be-
tween neighboring towns demanded
that their convenience and comfort
should be considered to the extent
of furnishing passable sidewalk
to and from the town. They are
patrons of The town as we'll as those
who live within the corporation, and
yet when every other part of the town
is being accommodated with side
walks, their convenience in getting
in and out of the town is entirely
overlooked or ignored and they are
left to wade in and out as they have
done for the last century more OF
less.
We think this complaint of the
South Morgantown people is well
founded. They have long stretch
of street from either Main or Front
at where the pavements cease to the
Bridge, which in the winter season
is next to impossible The patron
age and good will of our neighbors
ought to be considerations sufficien,
to encourage them by so much as g
sidewalk. If they were to withdraw
their patronage from us and set uE
stores and other businesses across
the creek we would feel the loss
We ought to be willing to do some
thing to encourage the trade we gel
from that locality, instead of driving
it away by our indifference.
Moreover, in this connection, We
ought to say that the bridge which
connects the two towns ought to bt
torn down. Let us have decent
open iron bridge in its place.
| Those things done on our part would
very much encourage our aspiring
neigbbor which is really doing more
in proportion to its wealth to i'm
prove itself than we are doing OF
this side We doubt not that before
long they will have improved theil
Main street the entire distance be
tween the creeks, and when this il
done dwellings will spring up al
along its line. and it will not be long
till South Morgantown will become
a rival in population and wealth.

A meeting of several Of the busi-
ness men Of this place was held last
Monday evening at T. w. Anderson's
Office for the purpose of comforting
with Mr.. Perry S. Tygard, of Pitts
burg, who is an inventor Of several
new appliances in machinery.
Mr.. Tygard wants to locate here
and start mandatory to make
the various articles, but at the be-
ginning of the enterprise he only
proposed to manufacture mould
ing, flooring. veneering, DC, cutter,
which will have to be placed upon
the market and the demand created
for it. While this demand is in the
progress of making, planning mill,
to make stuff of higher order than
is made in most planning mills, will
be started and the cutters used In the
MILL The planning mill will enable
the enterprise to be a paying insti-
tuition from the start, and in short
while the various machines invented
by Mr.. Tygard will be manufactured
on larger scale.
1t is estimated that $4,000 is the
requisite amount for the starting Of
the factory, of which Mr.. Tygard
will raise the half and the remaining
half be taken by our people at shares
of $50 each. Judge Hagans, Geo. G.
Sturgiss. S d. Hirschman, r. Il.
Fast, DIR. Coombs, /. c. White, f. Nj,
Grant, r. w. Anderson and several
others have already signified their
intention Of taking stock in the cor
poration, as it is reasonably certain
TO be not only self-sustaining from
the start but has every appear
ance of being good investment for
remunerative returns. There is q
market already established for all
the productions Of the planning mill,
which is to be run on a large scale.
Mr.. Sturgiss offers two acres OF
ground on the river below the Uni
versity aud the option Of three addi-
tional adjoining acres at 800 an
acre for the use of the plant.
Mr.. Sturgiss also agreed to take as
much stock as any other one Morgan
town man.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Grant, Hirschman, Anderson, Coombs,
Morgan, Fast and White was APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions, take
out letters of incorporation, draft
letters of partnership with Mr.. Ty
gard and provide for all the legal
details Of starting the factory under
our laws.
The scheme of the men who inter-
ested themselves in this enterprise is
most tangible one. 1t means great
things for our town and county and
is to be good start in our progress
toward becoming u manufacturing
town. The proposed factory will
employ about 200 or $50 skilled
workmen, all of whom will have to
be gotten at some place elsewhere,
thereby increasing our population
that much.
On Tuesday evening the members
of the committee met at Mr.. Sturgiss'
Office to take advice from him as to
the best mode of raising the neccs
sary funds. After some discussion
il was decided that list of those
persons likely to subscribe.be gotten
up and proportionate share Of the
names be given to each member of
the committee with view TO solicit
ting from the men whose names they
have. They are confident of raising
the money.
Fellow workers in the boom cause,
don't stand back in this matter but
aid the establishment of this factory
in any way you can. Every little
helps and start must be made

Now, farmer friends, because there

These men are not after fictitious
and fancy values, they are after the
land they hear of as having been of

these land buyers understand theil

more than fair value and it il

WATER IN AUSTRALIA
Discoveries OF Unde ground Rivers I
Arid Parts of the Continent.

Discoveries OF Undo ground Rivers In
Arid Parts of the Continent.
Some years ago l ventured to assert
in these pages that the future of Aus.
tralia for the next thirty years rested
with the engineers. The recent dis
covery of underground rivers in the
most arid portions of the continent
have given those words a greater sig
nifcance. The difficulty of Australia
has always been the fear that the land
will not support large population.
These discoveries of water dispel that
fear. 1t now appears that the vol
umes of rain which fall about once in
five years over the greater part Of the
Australian continent covering with
floods the plains which for four years
previously have not known more
moisture than might be given in En-
gland by good fall OF dew, find their
way through the porous soils into
channels and chambers beneath
the surface. where at depth OF
1000 or 900 feet they provide an in
exhaustible store OF the most precious
commodity known 10 the Australian
souatter Ii is impossible to say at
present how the use Of these under
ground supplies of water may change
the face of the Australian continent.
The overflow from one bore at a place
called Kerribree has alreany cut a
channel OF several feet in depth
through the sand, and now forms a
permanent river OF several miles In
length in what used TO be an absolu e.
ly waterless country. 1t is only to be
expected that as more water IS brought
to the surface the clouds will take up
more moisture by evaporation, and the
rainfall will increase. Then, with
regular rainfall and ineXhausible tanks
and creeks. even the Australian squat
ter might begin to be contented. Mac
