The Foot Ball Team Disbanded and Badly
in Debt-A Kissing Episode and a Student
Suspended.
Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN. w. Va, October 90
The West Virginia University foot ball
team has cancelled all dates for games
this season The team has played four
games. and it is in debt about $1,000 Prof.
CUT sht, manager, stood personally re-
sponsible for coach "Doggie" Trenchard' )
salary of 81 200 for the season. Outright
became sick and Prof Wiley was made
active manager. The students, at meet
ing held after chapel last week, chose DR..
Doris. medical student as manager, and
recommended him to the athletic faculty.
The faculty did not elect Doris, for the
reason that Manager Outright, who is
sick. has not sent in a statement of his
accounts and they cannot except his res
ignation. The students through ignor-
ance of this fact, blamed the athletic
faculty for rejecting Doris as manager
and when one of the faculty entered chapel
he was Kissed for this. A student was
suspended for the rest Of the term last
night. This morning $50 students left
chapel after roll call and before Bible
reading. a right they have by law not to
attend religious worship. Other suspen-
sions will probably follow. The students
vented their anger on professor because
they were ignorant of the fact that the
faculty could not accept Cuuight's resig-
nation till he made out his accounts.
one hundred dollars has been paid
Trenchard. while there is $500 due him.
and he is now coaching p a. c., which
agreed to give him $500 The question is
how will the team pay Trenchard and the
other debts? The team lost about $500 in
its games with Lafayette. There is great
excitement among the students over los
ing he team. and many are trembling for
fear of suspension for kissing. A few hot
headed students led the Kissing demon
stration. and the affair is only a repet-
ton of last years attempt on the part OF
the students to run the institution. Three
of the best players left two weeks ago
and the team will hardly be able to play
again this year.

Judge Frank Ives, of District Court
of Crookston, Mimi, says: For some
time | have used Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets with seeming great benefit,
with few exceptions, have not been
so free from Indigestion in twenty-five
years.
Geo. w. Roosevelt, U. S. Consul to
Brussels, Belgium: Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, safe, pleasant to take, conven-
lent to carry, give keen appetite, per-
feet digestion.
Mr. w. D. Tomlin, Mechanical En-
gineer, Duluth, Mimi: One box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets has done its
work, and l am again gaining flesh and
strength.
O. E. Ransom, Hustonville, KY:
was distressed and annoyed for two
years with throwing up food often two
or three times a day; had no certainty
of retaining a meal if 1 ate one. Four
boxes of the tablets from my druggist
have fully cured me. I find them pleas
ant to take, convenient to carry.
Rev G. D. Brown, Mondovi. Wis:
The effect of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets is simply marvellous; a quite hearty
dinner of broiled beef steak causes no
distress since I began their use.
Over six thousand people in the State
of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured
of stomach troubles by Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Full sized packages may be found at

hand yesterday afternoon.
The morning was very fOggy, end 1t
was impossible to see twenty-five yards
in any direction. The workmen S car
vas north bound at the time, and while
it was bowling along towards Nc
Mechen, and while south Of Jim's run,
Motorman McMechen started south
with a regular car. The two came to-
gether with great force, with the result
that the front end of the regular motor
was demolished. McMechen was caught
be .ween the two cars, his legs being
crushed from the knees down. The
other occupants of the cars were Sc
verely shakeR'up, but were not injured.
AS soon as possible the injured motor
man was released and a messenger dis
patched on horseback for a physician,
but on the way the horse fell dead, and
the young man, also a son Of Mr.. Carter
McMechen, had to make the rest Of the
trip on foot Drs Dowler and Nc
Masters were finally gotten to the scene
and the injured man was removed to
his home, where he was resting as well
as could be expected, last evening.

4 Noble Life That Was hobly
Ended.

The following letter and subjoined reso-
buttons therein referred to. explain them
selves:
At New Broad Street. London. Eng,
July .. 1896.
Professor /. L. Campbell:
Dear sir.-I did not receive the papers
announcing your fathers death, and con-
seluently had no news of the sad event
until your letter of June 18th, which /
was very sorry to receive.
Yet as / read the notices incidentally
referring 10 his last moments and re-
called all the earnestness and devotion
which he had given 70 the Masters work
/ could not help feeling thankful FOR a
noble life. nobly ended.
Herewith. ] send you brief resolution
which expresses the feeling OF our COM
mlttee al also a resolution TO the Exc
cutive Committee of the Ecclesiastical
Peace Conference. OF which he was the
chairman. 1 do hope the work viii not
be allowed to drop, but that some one
equally earnest and true will take Il in
hand and so make &c a useful and appro-
pirate tribute to his memory.

July is. 1896
Resolved, That the Committee Of the
Arbitration Alliance have heard with
deep sorrow and regret Of the death OF
their esteemed friend and coadiutor. Rev.
W. A. Campbell d. D., and join with the
American Committee of which he was
the chairman. in gratitude for his earnest
and devoted life. and in warm appre-
citation Of his enthusiasm and sacrifice on
behalf of the great question Of interna-
tional peace.
They trust that the work which he had
so much at heart will not be allowed TO
slacken because of his removal. and they
venture to suggest that the American
Committee OF the Arbitration Alliance,
which Is the first and only combination
Of British and American Christians for
international objects. may form an
Anglo-American Committee for the pro-
motion. not only of a treaty Of arbitra-
ton, but OF a better understanding, a
more cordial sympathy, and closer CO.
operation between the two great coun-
tries.
The committee beg TO tender 10 DR..
CampbeI's friends and relatives their
sincere sympathy and coincidence
There IS now a good opportunity fur
nished for the two branches OF the or
ganlzation which he founded 20 form a
united committee for union, having for
its object. not only the promotion of the
special subject OF peace. but also the
promotion OF a better understanding and
better and closer union between this

done.

Nansen's Theory or clay NJ. Greene's,

1t is a rather odd coincidence that al
most simultaneously with the news OF the
success OF Nansen's polar expedition a
play is 10 be brought out In New York,
the plot OF which is based on a suDposi-
tious trip across the pole by exactly the
same method that the adventurous Swede
has proved 20 be feasible. Something
odder than coincidence. however. is the
circumstance that the author Of the play
claims that he originated the Nansen
theory of reaching the North Pole by
floating across il on an ice foe.
The play is Under the Polar STAR" and
the author OF il is Clay Nj. Greene. SIR.
