STUDENTS OBJECT
To the Bill Doing Away With the Univer
sity Cadet Corps.


MoRGANTowN, W. VA, February -.
"A large and enthusiastic mass meet
ing Of students was held az the Uniyer-
sty this evening to draft resolutions
c0ndemnlng the bill nov pending be
fore the Legislature relative to the
abolition Of cadet appointments and a
reduction Of the present number OF re
gents. The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
10 tie Honorable legislature ~ Wct
Virginia;
WHEREAS, We the students OF the
West Virginia I University in mass meet
ing assembled, believing House Bill No.
20i, now pending, relating to the
abolition OF cadet appointments and a
reduction Of the present number Of Re-
gents TO be detrimental to the best in
terestS Of the University do hereby
adopt the following resolutions:
BE Il Resolrcd, That, whereas be-
lieving that cadet appointments with
the privileges aud immunities pertain
ing thereto have been conducive 10 the
prosperity OF the University and that
an abolition Of the system at the
present time would tend to drive the
young men Of West Virginia To other
and more liberal institutions Of learn
ing. and thereby greatly decrease the
attendance OF our own State institution,
since it would increase the expenses OF
students, and by making military ser
vice compulsory destroy that broad and
liberal elective freedom that should
characterize a State | niyerSity.
ind he Il rcsolrcd further That the
present number OF regents distributed
by Senatorial districts is the best posi-
ble app0rtionment to bring the entire
people Of the State into friendly aud In
innate relations with the University,
and thereby extend the influence and
increase the usefulness OF West Nir-
ginia'S highest institution Of learning,
and that a reduction Of the present
Of regents would tend 10 con
tralze the government in the hands OF
a few individuals and thereby iocalife
the influence and narrow the usefulness
Of the same.
Therefore. We humbly pray your hon
orablc body To reject the entire measure
and to disturb neither the present or
ganilation OF the Board nor the present
system OF cadet appointments.

The damage i'm this County by the late
high water while very considerable is
not nearly So much as it must have
been II the people had not been in a
measure prepared for it. At this place
the damage by water was but trlhlng'
some three or four families having 10
leave their houses for short time.
The Ohio River railroad fill below
town was washed through by the water
but has been repaired, and trains are
now running as usual. All the operat-
ing wells here were under water except
two. but the damage done is nominal as
tine derrickS remained all right, and all
are i'm operation now The rigs about
French Creek and Belmont seem TO
have suffered the most, as altogether
there were some twenty-five rigs de
stroyed I'm that vicinity. The heaviest
losers are the Two Brothers oil Com
Dauy. which lost eight rigs. which. with
the loss of oil from the breaking of con-
Meeting and floating o. tanks will prob
ably make their loss some $4,000.
Johnston * Co.. ON Singleton, lost
three rigs with a probable loss Of
-. 900 in oil tanks, etc. The
Duncan Company, on the Taylor farm.
lost one rig and tankage, aud the Brown
Company lost one ON Jones. and on the
Hendricks farm. On the low grounds
up the creek there are several more tip
ped over but the water is not yet down
low enough 10 tell exactly what the
damage will be.
Conservative men who have eXper-
ience in the field put the loss from the
water i'm the vicinity of Belmont at from
$4,000 % S35. 900. In the vicinity of
Eureka there was no damage done of
any amount, as an the wells are on high
ground
Though the water was within seven
and oue-half feet of the 81 mark here,
thr loss t0 farmers is but small, as but
lttc feed was left on the low grounds,
