Charged With Infanticide.

Last Saturday evening the body of
an infant was found in a privy vault
at Monongah. and Justice Fisher
was called. He impaneled jury
and heard the evidence. The proofs
pointed to Miss Snodgrass, who
was arrested. The jury brought in
verdict charging her with the muir
der of the infant, and she was re
quired to give bond for her appear
ance to answer the charge before the
Grand Jury. The details of the af-
fair are quite racy but our readers
are just as well off by not knowing
them. 1t is most unfortunate and
distressing occurrence, and will
doubtless prove to be very serious

Picking out a Husband.

Girls, you don't want man who
is afraid of good, honest work, and
there are lots of them who are. You
don't want to have to spend the very
best of your youth in living to re-
form man or shield him, so that
you will not become claimant for
the pity of your, friends, you don't
want man who is stingy, and what
girl with two grains of sense is not
sharp enough to discover this trait
in the lovers? Neither do you want
a spendthrift You don't want a
jealous husband, for he is about as
dangerous as lnnatic. You don't
want dandy, who urls his hair,
has his nails manicured and uses a
face bleach, and you wouldn't be-
lieve how many such specimens are
floating around in good society. You
want whole souled, lovable gentle
man. He must-now take out your
memorandum book-be courteous to
the aged and kind to the little folks,
the sort Of fellow who knows that
girl loves flowers and sweetmeats
but who is not fool that he would
pawn his overcoat to get them-the
kind of chap who disdans to fall in
to rhapsodies over every pretty wo-
man be meets, who realizes that life
is not joke, but who in his serious
ness is never depressing. He must
be gentle, sympathetic, honorable,
just, with romance about his make
up to save him from being prosaic,
and above all, he must be so situated
in life that he can attempt the role
of homemaker without fear of being
dismal failure. Where will such
paragon be found? Keep your
eyes wide open. If you do not meet
him take advice AMI join the sisters
who prefer single bliss to welded
wretchedness

Perhaps the most popular and
generally appreciated musicale that
was ever given at Morgantown was
that of the Schumann Lady Quar-

Saturday evening assisted By Miss
Jennie Shoemaker the accomplished
Delssrtean performer and reader.
They fully sustained their widely
known reputation-whieh they so
justly merit in every respect. This
is the third time they have been here
under the auspices Of the Banner
lecture committee. Once last year
and twice this, each time leaving
nothing to be desired except to be
heard again. Their engagement
this time following so closely after
the Military Ball rendered it well
neigh impossible to expect as large
an audience as otherwise would have
been present. Notwithstanding this
select audience of about $50 greet

the manager and performers, and a
program of more than ordinary mer-

sang together several pieces with
perfect expressions, among which
were Comm thro' the Rye" Hear

the greatest hit of the evening. The
silvery peals and vibrations of the
bells were so realistic that the audi

The Site Selected for Dam No. 10.

The site for the Government Lock
and dam No. 10, on the Monongahela
river has been selected after several
months spent in drilling for solid
foundation. The lock will be put in
on the West side of the river, short
distance below the Morgaptown
Brick Cos, plant. The dam will be
only 5 or 6 hundred yards below
the wharf at Morgantown, the east
end being just below Falling Run,
and will back the water up to about
the Is foot mark, or to within foot
of the railroad bridge abutments, and
completely cover the wharf AS the
railroad bridge occupies part of the
street it will be impossible for steam
boats to use this landing and South
Morgantown will get the new wharf
as there is no available location in
Morgantown. Now what are we 60
ing to do about it? 1t is not an un-
common thing for the Government
to make changes in like cases and a
petition should at once be drawn up
and sent to the Engineer in charge
of the Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers. If he does not change the loca
ton of the dam, then a petition
should he sent to the Chief Engineer
of the U. s., or to the Secretary of
War Moagantown can not afford
to lose the revenue derived from the
wharf, or the convenience of having
it centrally located. Our citizens
should not dilly daily over this mat
ter until the Government has pur-
chased the land for the buildings,
abutments etc, but act at once.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mary j. Rominger was born
January 26, 1913, and died July 2,
1894, age fity-one years, five months
and six days. She professed faith in
Christ and united with the Baptist
church at louisville, N. c., about the
year 1860, and has lived consistent
Christian life since that time. Mrs.
Rominger was a faithful wife and good
mother. She was especially noted for
her truthfulness, honesty and industry.
During her last illness she often de-
clared her faith in Christ and said
she was going home to be with her
children who had gone before her.
She died in the full triumph of a
Christian faith. and no doubt is now
at rest, free from sorrow and pain. A
short time before she died she asked
TO have the song familiar to her which
she had often sung, "Dying in the
Field of Battle Fighting for the Lord"
This song was sung al the last meet
ing she ever attended with her hus'
band. Thus she died as she had lived
"a faithful Christian woman-and
has gone to her reward. The home
will be lonely without her, and hel
husband and children will miss hel
sadly, but Heaven is nearer ant
Christ is dearer than ever before.
