The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-06-22

IT is reported that a small steamer
is soon to begin regular trips from
Greensboro to this place We would
like to see the enterprise material
izc.
Dos'r forget Prof. Willey's lecture
on Friday evening next on Fair
to Cloudy With Chances for Rain. y
1t will be rich treat and should not
be missed.
The work over in the Lemley field
continues about as usual, new rigs
going up all the time. There is
nothing to report that is not already
known, as we are informed reliably.
SUP'T GLAsscocK says that many
of the teachers of this county think
there will be another Institute held
in the county at some future date af-
ter the Peabody Institute to be held
next week. This idea he desires to
say is erroneous. There will be no
other institute held in the county
this year.
SAY, before we go any farther with
this quill pushing, isn't the New Do
MINIoN the best nescs paper ever pub
lished in the county? 1t is probably
useless to ask, as many, aye scores
of Monongalians have lately told us
that 1t does beat all how much news
we find to print and the nice way we
have of getting it up.
THERE was some excitement on
the streets Monday night over the
report that two horse thieves from
Pennsylvania had passed through
here. Sergeant Bricker had card
from Ii. +. Coad, of New Bethlehem,
Pa, to the effect that the thieves
were travelling this way. They wer-
MT caught, anyhow.
A GREAT and lurking danger from
SO much rain is of malaria. See
that everything around your dwell
ing is well drained and that will
lessen the danger to degree In
weather which is so wet abundant
measures for sanitation should be
practiced, more than usual. Be
ware of the shakes. We've been
there.
INDICATIONS point to glorious fu
ture for Morgantown. Land is "dirt"
cheap, we will have the best of wa
ter in great abundance and more
natural gas than any place. Besides
this free taxation for a term of 20
years is guaranteed TO all manufac-
turers. We say we have glorious
future, for these things are bound to
attract.
AFTER vain and fruitless search
ings for the culprits who perpetrated
the ammunition robbery from the mil
itary department of the University
the whole business has been dropped
and the guilty parties roam at large
and of course are a terror to all
those who have valuables in their
houses insecurity protected. It's a
great pity they were not caught and
punished. The crime was diabolical
in the extreme, but the simple mode
of the theft does not speak very well
for the detective who failed to fer
ret out the thieves.
The jury in the case of Andrew
Warner, who was on trial for disturb
ing public worship, in Clay district,
some months ago, made an example
of him that may prove valuable to
many young men who consider that
religious worship is to be treated
with contempt. Warner was found
guilty and will have a heavy sum
to pay for his foolishness. We have
an idea that lawless young bloods in
Clay district will have care which
church they tackle in the future
when wishing to raise particular
Ned.
AMONG the members of the facul-
ty of the Normal Institute is Miss
Alice Altman, a former Morgantown
lady, who has for some time been
prominent teacher of instrumental
music in New FORK City. This in
sures to members of the Institute OPP
portunities seldom offered for in
struction on the piano and organ.
Miss Alice brought with her from
the metropolis piano from one of
the most celebrated manufac-
turers in the world, which her
pupils are entitled to use
without extra charge. Teachers
who attend the institute should con-
suit Miss Altman for instruction in
any branch of music
If THE people of the Athens pro-
pose to do anything grand and glor-
ious on the patriotic order on indie
pendence Day, it is high time they
were stirring their stumps to that
end. 1t has been several years since
any elaborate exercises were render
ed on that day and it would surely
not be too much of a good thing to
arrange for something regularly i'm
mense this year. There's plenty of
time left to complete all arrange
ments for proper observance of the
glorious Fourth. If we can't do any
thing else we could get brass band
and all march to one of the nearby
groves, have the Declaration of In
dependence read by some pretty girl
costumed as Columbia and after
some patriotic speeches all join in an
old fashioned picnic. At any rate
lets do something pretty big.
