Perhaps we Have no Charter.

A circuit judge in this state re-
Gently made decision to the effect
that the law of 1890, which gives a
circuit court the right to grant a
charter is unconstitutional, and that
the town in question was without a
charter. If this decision stands in
the supreme court many a West
Virginia town will be charterless.
Morgantown was granted a new
charter under that 1890 law which
the Ohio county Judge now decides
unconstitutional The result of the
supreme courts action on the de-
cision will then have considerable
local significance, and has already
aroused a great deal Of local inter
est. A good deal hangs on what
the court of last resort has to say
about it. We stand with fear and
trembling that the writ which de
clares our right to exercise our func-
tions as an Incorporated municipal
ty will be taken away at one fell
swoop. This and the late election
makes us Morgantowners wonder,

STILL GUESS WORK.
No Further Information at TO When
the Railroad Extensions is
tn ha nneued

An inspection party Of b. d q. Of
fieers was here in their special cars
Saturday evening, but did not go on
through TO Connellsville over the
now practically completed extension,
as it was announced as the intention
to do. The road from here to Cheat
bridge at Point Marion is yet quite
rough, and this inspection party
was not after slow and jolting ride,
which is certainly consequential to
trip over the extension just now.
1t was also hoped that some mem
Der of the party would let fall some
mere crumb of information as to
when the extension is to be opened
up for business, but all such knowl-
edge was kept carefully intact and
it is not yet for the general public to
become eognizant of any determeHa
ton in that regard. We must wait
yet little while to know about that.
There is but the one indefinite com
fort-it will be "soon."
AS to the progress Of the work on
the ballasting from Point Marion
this way, that is a more distinct and
tangible matter That work is go.
ing on as rapidly as was anticipated.
The train hauls Is loads of ballast
at time, and makes several trips
every day. Two miles of the track
have been ballasted. This Stag bal
last Is said to be a very superior ar
ticle for the soft, low places in the
track, there being several of them,
and repairs them solidly and sub
stantially. Quite force of men is
used to pound it down and Under
and between the ties. At two of the
worst sink holes the ground has
been dug away below the ties, then
built up with big timbers and the
cinders will be dumped in to fill up
the excavated place thus making
what were the most troublesome
places the most substantial The
ballasting goes slow, but it Is being
done well. There are yet remaining
over nine miles of track to ballast,
which will take a month or more to
complete.
The road, it can be seen, will be
finished and ready for the contrac-
tors to turn over to the company
some time about the first of March
There could be trains run regularly
then, if it we're the company's desire
to do so. 1t is a condition of sus
pense to those interested in the mat
ter as to whether the company will
run trains when it can.

Going Ahead with the Hotel.

The kind of weather we have been
having has been fine thing for F.
c. Dean, who is building the stone
hotel near Camp Eden, over Cheat.
The work goes stedily on, though
not so very rapidly in the matter OF
Roadway either as the nature of work
makes it perforce slow. A fair begin
ming has been made on the walls.
There are hardly two stones of the
same size in it-at least not inten.
tionally so. The stone used is that
which is gathered along the river
shore. The building will be costly,
but the more expensive it is the
greater will be its attraction. 1t is
the intention to have it open for bus
mess the coming summer.

A Vacancy and n Man For 1t,

There is vacancy in the office of
agriculturist of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station. This is the posi-
tien which was held by the late Col.
d. ID. johnson. The Board of Re-
gents will he called upon at their
next meeting to appoint some one to
the position. The salary is 81 900 a
year. The requisites are general ed
ucatiop, profound knowledge of agri-
cultural matters and enough of the
gift of oratory to be able to make
intelligent speeches, on experiments
conducted at the station, at insti-
tntes held at various points OF the
state under the auspices of the sta
ton staff. 1t is more than likely
that a graduate of the University
would have the preference for the
place-especially one who has finish
ed the course of agriculture in that
school. There is but one man who
has done this. His name is C. Ed.
Mayors. He lives at Fairmont He
is "born farmer" The fact that
he graduated from the University
covers the first requisite, general ed
ucation. The additional fact that
it was via the agricultural course
that he received his diploma meets
the second-profound knowledge OF
agricultural matters. AS to the
third there is no one of his years
who talks more entertainingly. intel
Iigently, instructively. Ed Mayors
is man who is fitted for the place
1t is not known that he aspires to it,
but that does not lessen his undeni-
able qualifications for it. TO APP
point him to the place would be to
encourage students to take the agri.
cultural course If an alumnus oil
the University is to have the place
he should be a gradnate ofthe agricul-
tural department.

To Invite a Special Judge.

The next session of the circuit
court will begin on Tuesday, Feb. Is.
Judge Hagans, while considerably
improved in health, will not proba-
bly, be able to preside at the session
and it is quite likely that Judge
Melvin, of Wheeling, will be invited
to hold court here at that time. 1t
is presumed that the coming session
will be one of considerable length.
as many cases heretofore continued
will be called for trial.

Who'll Helm TO Start the Ball,

The band boys seem to be enthu-
siastic over the project to celebrate
the opening Of the railroad extern
sion. There will be no celebration
unless some one takes the matter in
hand and keeps it going. The band
boys can do this. They can arouse
interest in the now dormant plan if
they go to work on it. There should
be celebration and the people will
all fall in line if somebody makes a
start Oh it.

THE v. Y. l.
An Interesting Column Of News Notes
and Personal Paragraphs Pertain
ing Purely to Scholars and
SchoOI

Little or nothing of importance
has occurred around the University
this week to interfere with the regu-
lar routine work. The President is
still unable to attend TO his duties,
but his condition is very much i'm
proved and he expects to be in his
lecture room this week.
Generally speaking the students
were very well pleased with Col.
Sanford's lecture which was listened
to with marked interest by a crowd
ed house. His lecture abounded
with light humor which together
with his descriptive powers made it
well worth hearing.
Prof Rane has organized a class in
entomology for the benefit of such
students as wish to become acquaint-
with all the crop destroying insects
common to our state.
Henry Clay has been indisposed
for several days, with symptoms of
grip.
The members of the medical class
have been wearing victorious smiles
upon their faces for the past few
days. 1t is reported that they have
recently had an opportunity of try
ing their skill as surgeons.
Quite large lot of books were ad-
ded to the library last week, chiefly
on the subjects of education and
methods of teaching. Prof. Miller is
doing much to create an interest in
this badly needed department of the
University.
r. G. Pack, who was called home
from the University some seeks ago,
has gone into the law office of prom
inent Wayne county attorney, where
he will complete his law studies.
A "rat" squad has been organized
this term for the purpose of giving
the new students an opportunity of
beginning the military work and al
SO to give those who failed to make
the necessary grade another chance
themselves.
An ingenious prep who visited the
law class in session one morning re-
Gently said that he saw nothing
strikingly wonderful except that he
was unable to understand how some
of the members were able to get their
feet over their desks without the aid
of derrick. A brother prep solved
the question by saying that they all
sat down on their desks and fell over
into their chairs.
Saturday morning the ice was in
fine shape for skating. Quite pro-
cession, headed by Sir Charles Good
wln, who is the acknowledged leader
and authority on the subject, were
on hand promptly to improve their
opportunity, Nearly half the day
was spent enjoying this mid-winter
sport much to the benefit of their
physical education.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
Will you be kind enough to in,
sert the following in your valuable
paper?
For some time past l have been re-
ceiving threatening anonymous let
ters, also anonymous letters have
been sent to our friends at distance
misrepresenting the character of q
member of my family, that are more
or less annoying and have traced
them to their source. Thinking that
probably the author is not aware OF
the severe penalty imposed ny law
for sending such letters through the
mail, take this means of giving
fair warning that | will no longer
submit to the annoyance and the
next letter received will, with all
others, be handed to the postal au.
thorites.
