AS a result of the passage of the

High School buildings, few have
sprung up in Eastern Kansas and for
the past four or five years have had

by our educators, with the result that
they have been declared "a goud

The Little Babies BoOhooed.

The West Virginia Univer- y foot
ball team played the first --ae of
the season at Mt. Pleasant, Pa, on
last Saturday with the Mt. Pleasant
Institute eleven. In eight minutes
the University gained so yards when
one of their men who had the ball
fell with it and called down, but on
getting up one of the Institute men
knocked the ball out of his hand and
grabbing it ran as if all the demons
of the region made notorious by
Dante were after him. He was call
ed back by both the umpire and ref
cree and Immediately the Institute
men began to play the baby act, boo
hooed and kicked like blind mules
bred and raised in the coal mines of
the Connellsville region. After wait
ing the required length of time for
the game to proceed, the University
being anxious for it to go on and the
Institute refusing to play, the re-
fierce gave the game to the Univer-
sity. The Institute team refused to
pay the expenses of the visiting team
and put themselves on record along
side those little fellows who when
miffed ''take their doll rags and go
home" 1t was a miserable exhibit
ton of temper worthy only of the
nursery. The Pennsylvanians found
themselves outclassed and played a
trick that should debar them from
the recognition of reputable teams
until they graduated from the kin
dergarten.

The Atlanta Exposition.

A correspondent of the Connells
vile Courier who is visiting the At
lanta Exposition is very much inn
pressed with its magnitude A par
agraph from his last letter is given
below
In general sense, | have excel
lent authority for the statement that
the Cotton States Exposition has
never been exceeded in America, ex
cept by the Worlds Fair. 1t is not
yet complete, fact which would
give to the visitor who did not un-
derstand the situation an erroneous
impression concerning it's magnitude.
There are numbers of exhibits that
have never been unpacked yet. 1t
is expected, however, that every
thing will be in ship shape and
booming by October 18th. The Mid
way has all the Worlds Fair attrae-
tions, besides some interesting new
ones. 1t is the life of the Exposition,
and apparently something entirely
new to the thousands who daily
throng its resorts. A general cos
mopolitan crowd has not yet ar
rived. 1t is coming, though. Com
paratively few Pennsylvanians are
registered at the State building. DR..

only representative from the coke
region. Nearly every week during

A Card.

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
want to correct some mis-statements
that were in the last issue of the New
DOMINION The reference to Joe Shafer
is not true. 1t is not strange that his
second wife did not go back to Iowa with
him. She had never been there as his
wife. While mis- first wife was alive she
went to Iowa to visit them and wait I'M
til she could get divorce from her first
husband with whom she would not live
because he would not leave his property
in her hands.
When Joe Shafer went to Iowa years
ago he married nice lady and they
lived happily together until death part
ed them. They had four children who
with the exception of one who died all
married well.
We will admit that he was very silly
to marry her, and as to his putting his
property out of his hands he had no real
property to put out. All she married
him for was his money. He sent her
money every time he wrote to her and
when he came here refused to give her
more unless she would go to Iowa. OF
course she became offended at this. AS
to him circulating reports on her, it is
not true-he is not that kind OF man.
About the unpaid board bill we know
nothing, but suppose him to be too hon
est to do that. NJ,
