They are Good Enough.

The West Virginia University
sent to Pennsylvania for all the mu-
sicians for the commencement exer-
cises held this week. West Virginia
has a number of good bands, but
none good enough for the aesthetic
taste of the modern Athens. West
Virginia boys, we hope, however,
will still be good enough for stu
dents for the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Sentinel.
The Modern Athens has been
told on several occasions that it has
no more business to interfere with
the workings of the University than
any other town in the State, and al
though it has in the past given large
sums toward defraying the expense
of securing music no citizen of the
town ever had the privilege of Sc
Letting the organization that is
brought here to blow enthusiasm in
to the visitors. An effort was made
to get the Wheeling band but it
could not come and the Peunsylva-
MIA aggregation is better by 10 to l
than any band in the State outside
of the Morgantown band. 1t APP
pears that some people are deter
mined to censure Morgantown fol
all supposed mistakes of the Univer.
sity authorities, and equally the citi.
zens if they attempt to make any
suggestions fer the institution OIL
criticise it in any manner.
Yes, "West Virginia boys are
good enough for the University
but it is self evident fact that
many parents of West Virginia boys
do not seem to know that the West
Virginia University is good enough
for their sons. There are more sent
to colleges, outside of the State
than to her own institution.

She Came to MorganfoMn.

The Smithfield correspondent of
the Uniontown Standard says:
Thos. Lewis has heard of his
missing daughter, Maud. He traced
her to Morgantown where she had
got employment in restaurant.
From there she took employment
with Mrs. Temple of Fairmont, who
was boarding at the Wallace house.
Mrs. Temple hired her as waiting
maid to accompany her on an ex-
tended visit to her former home at
Pennington, Maine, and she is now
at the latter place. Richard Lewis,
a brother lof the girls father traced
her whereabouts. He got his first
clew from the conductor on his way
up to Morgantown. The conductor
recollected her getting on his train
the same evening she left home. She
had but 20 cents and wanted to go
to Morgantown where she was going
to work; had no home, no friends,
she said; had been badly treated by
the people with whom she lived here.
On these representation the conduc-
tor took compassion on her and let
her 90 through.

There is much complaint this season

With A MARRIED WOMAN.
A Law Student of Unsavory
Reputation

Elopes With Ars. Clear-The Guilty
Couple Supposed to be in Pittsburg-
The Injured Husband Will NJ axe no
Effort to Induce the Truant Wife to
Return.
There are many rumors afoat con-
corning what seems to be the elope
ment of Mrs. Ed Clear with E. W
Nowlan late a law student here.
For two years past young Nowlan
has been attending the law school
of the University and during the
time has taken his meals at Clears
restaurant. For some time past it
has been apparent that Mrs. Clear
and Nowlan were on very intimate
terms but nothing criminal was sns-
pected until very recently, when Mr.
Clear spoke to. her about it and urged
her to be more discreet and careful
of her reputation. This was met
with an air of defiance and the in
formation that she would do as she
pleased. Matters continued in this
way until Sunday morning last when
Mrs. Clear went to Granville and
boarded the boat for Pittsburg. She
disembarked at Brownsville and
boarded a Pittsburg train.
Nowlan hired carriage and driy-
er Saturday night and went TO PIT
Marion where he also took the boat.
So far the pair have not been seen
together but public opinion is unan-
imous that they are.
Nowlan is an unprepossing fellow
but shrewd, affable and a good talk
er. He led rather fast life here
drinking and gambling, and has
spent considerable money He re-
Gently boosted to some eonviyial
friends that when he left Morgan
town there would be sensation as
he intended to take a married woman
with him.
Mrs. Clear is a very pretty and
fine looking woman and when girl
was quite belle. Her society seems
to have been sought after by admir-
ers of the male sex. For some time
Mr.. and Mrs. Clear have not lived
happily together and the breach
seemed to widen until it eliminated
in the elopment. Mrs Clear is the
daughter of Chas. NJ. Addison very
respectable farmer living a short
distance from town up Decker's
Creek, and Nowlan is said to be of
good family in Monroe county.
Mrs. Clear left behind son aged
about Ia years, bright good boy,
and very pretty daughter little
younger.
The whole matter is very much to
be deplored A family has been
broken up and a woman's character
been blasted. No steps will be tax
en- to overhaul the fugitives but Mr..
Clear has retained attorneys and will
bring suit for divorce. He is so
broken up over the lamentable affair
that he has about decided to sell out
his business and go elsewhere to get
away from the memory Of his trouble.

A GANG of burglars are operating
in Marion county and are no doubt
heading this way, therefore our PEG
pie would do well to keep a close
watch on their homes The West
Virginian says: Last Saturday af-
ternoon Mr.. and Mrs. f. NJ. Hawkin-
berry being absent, their home at
Barrackville was entered by thieves
and ransacked. A gold watch, $l075
in money, five dollar pair of gold
spectacles and other articles were
carried away. The watch cost $50
and was the property of Miss Annie
M. Stnrm. 1t was presented to her
by her father, now deceased and of
course was highly valued.
The next house visited was that of
Mr. t. F. Conway, where they got
$l5 in money, good silver watch
and numerous other articles.
The house Of Fielding Snodgrass
next received attention, and a pair
OF new shoes, gold watch and chain,
several silk handkerchiefs and some
fine shirts were the booty secured
The home of Andrew Ice was next
and last visited. From this was
carried away a suit of clothes, two
or three pairs Of pants, a watch,
handkerchiefs, DC.
All the keys that could be found
at each of the houses were taken.

Ellis Turner Settles With the Town.

A nolle prosqui was entered by
the. prosecuting attorney in the case
of the State against Ellis R. Turner,
ex-Town Sergeant of Morgantown,
who was indicted for embezzling
1925 of the funds of the town. The
evidence in the case did not go to
show that Turner meant to embezzle
the money and therefore the case
was dropped. The town threw off
1924 and Turner paid 500 and G.
M. John and Henry Domain his
bondsmen paid the remaining 5000
Mr.. Turner has expressed his de-
termination to pay the shortage dol

other unfortunate circumstances &C

He Took A Walk.

Henry Molissee was put on trial
Thursday charged with cutting Jo-
siah Randall with intent to kill. Two
witnesses had been examined when
the court took a recess for dinner,
and Henry not liking the drift of ev-
idence against him took a walk, and
it is presumed is still walking as he
has not as yet drifted back to the
Temple of Justice. George Nuce was
on his bond for $500 and will prob
ably have it to pay although it is
claimed that his bondsman is not
liable as when the trial commenced
he was properly in the charge of the

Vaudeville Items.

MAIDsvILLE, June 1S-Mrs. James
Sanders, we are glad to say, IS some bet
ter. Her friends now have hope for her
recovery.
Aunt Mariah Hunt is able to sit up,
after long illuess.
Minor Carlow has the measles. He
caught It at Uniontown on Decoration
Day. There is likely to be number of
cases at this place.
Mrs. Mary Hunt is visiting friends at
this place.
DIR. Silas Sycks was visiting at d. d.
Fortney's Saturday and Sunday.
Rev. John Conway and wife were Wis
iting his father, Thornton Conway this
week
Mr. Rufus Lazzell has returned from
trip to Chicago, and other points in the
West.
Our coal boom didn't last long. The
lutte Boat Co. took away all their bar
ges, above Lock No. 9 last week. But
those who were engaged in the coal bus
mess, at this place, made good use Of
the time. They delivered about 5000
bushels in barges at Vaudeville Landing.
The band boys have organized Sun
day school orchestra, which adds to the
interest of our school.
Prof. J. E. Lazzell and Miss Mary
Durham were married last Wednesday.
Their many friends wish them happy
and prosperous journey through life.
Less than the usual number of our
citizens attended Commencement this
year. We were all we'll pleased with
Rutter's band, but Guenther's orchestra
did not come up to our expectations. We
heard several persons remark that the
NJ. E. Sunday School Orchestra, of Nor
gantown, could furnish as good or better
music.
There is to be Sunday school picnic
at Fort Martin ON July 4. We hope all
the schools that have been invited will
attend and have profitable as well as a
pleasant time.
We are not as patriotic in observing
the Fourth as we should be, or as the
people in some other sections where we
have been, are.
The Fourth should be observed in
such way as to instill into the minds OF
our youth principles of morality and re-
ligion, as well as love for our country !;
for patriotism without morality and re-
ligion amounts to but little.
MAIDsvILLE, June 1S.-The coal fever
that has existed in our neighborhood for
the past week has entirely subsidized. and
the spectators are counting up their
profit. Had the strike lasted another
week great many of our business men
would have been stricken with nervous
prostration, and perhaps would have in
jured their mental faculties. The recent
boom in this vicinity was the greatest
that our people ever experienced, and if
our friend Mr.. j. M. Davis does not come
in our midst again, fear we will never
realize another. You could see teams
ON the road at daylight, at noon, and
hear them after dark. Some of the more
business men hauled coal all day and all
night. They talked like bass drums the
next morning. They built shoot for
loading, the day they began to haul, and
built one each day for week, still there
wasn't room for all to work. A process
sion OF teams quarter of mile long
could be seen all hours in the day.
Vaudeville furnished 5000 bushels of
coal.
Our clever little merchant Mr.. J. NJ.
Waters boarded the boat last Thursday
morning for Pittsburg and got back the
same evening and walked back too, so
he said.
