Goodnight and ourselves. in the
course of conversation, talked of the
great undeyeloped wealth of this
county, and near possible future of the
great Monongahela Valley, of which
this county is part, and our rich
agricultural resources. There was an
agreement among us that the Monon-
gahela Valley, with free navigation

Think About This.

Here are some very good instruc-
tions for killing newspaper. just
let your subscription GO It's only
a dollar or two-the publisher don't
need it. If he asks you for it, get
mad as a hornet and tell him to stop
the paper-you never read it any
how. Then borrow your neighbours $.
When the reporter comes for news
always be busy-make him feel as il
he were intruding-that your time
is worth 800 a minute. You don t
need to advertise-everybody knows
you, and you can get along without
printing-it's too expensive, and
business is slack. Never recommend
the paper to anybody. When you
speak of it always say, YES, we
have a little sheet, but it don't
amount to muchr' Keep this up a
year or two and you will have dead
newspaper, dead set of merchants
and a dead town.

BROKE EVEN.
Latrobe and W. 7. U. Each Win a
tame.


When the team left for Latrobe
last Thursday an easy victory was
confidently expected. This was due
to two or three things. Latrobe is
not considered IN the class of Greens
burg nor of the Pittsburg clubs yet
we had beaten one of the clubs and
played the other one to standstill.
That this reasoning is correct is
shown by the scores that have re-
Gently been made by these clubs.
Greensburg defeated Latrobe 10 to
4, Duquesne defeated Greensburg Is
to 4; We played a tie game with Du-
quesne. This certainly if it shows
anything shows that Latrobe should
be easy picking for W. V: U. But
when eleven men ON the team, 4 time
keeper.two linesmen.a referee and an
umpire oppose YOU there is but little
chance to show the real strength of
your team. The results Of these
games should teach the powers that
be at least that it would be better to
take few more officials along and
few lesg managers. In the first game
time was called IN the first half seven
minutes before it was really up in
order to prevent w. V. q. from scer-
ing. At this time we had the ball
ON the two yard line. The score re
suited to in favor OF Latrobe.
Goal was kicked from the field by
Latrobe's fullback. WhenSthe ball
was kicked the most fragrant fouls
occurred and no notice was taken Of
them by the ehumps who were the
officials. Holding was openly re-
sorted to, Yost having three men
holding him at the same time in plain
view of the umpire who was most
conveniently blind. The ball was re-
peatedly taken from us for alleged
fouls and penalties were constantly
given Latrobe yet With all their dir
ty playing and the impudent stealing
by The officials in both games they
never had the bah inside of our
twenty-five yard line, while we re
peatedly went deeper into their ter
ritory only to be repulsed by the
umpire or referee. This should
show in sonic measure the relative
ability of the two teams. We do not
object to open manly defeat but We
do most assuredly object to such UNI
derhanded methods as Latrobe made
willing use of. Considerable slug
cling was done but In every case the
Umpire Was not looking and once in
his zeal Flickingef struck his own
umpire swelling his eye completely
shut but no notice was taken of
this trifiing incident by that able of
fetal. The team was crippled some
what by the absence of several men
but the best team in the United
States could scarcely score on the
aggregation we had to contend with.
The team went for half the gate re-
ceipts and were swindled out of what
was coming to them by the courte-
GUS and hospitable Latrobe manage
ment. There are several things to
be learned from this fiasco, one of
which has already been given ,anoth-
er is never to play without some
reasonable guarantee and still an
other is to thoroughly commit the
signals. The second game although
resulting In victory was worse
than the first. The line up In the
final game was as follows;

large congregation at the M. e.
Church last Sunday night.

Elder d. L. Ash at Rock Forge last
Saturday and at Morgantown last
Monday morning.
The Quarterly Conference held here
last Monday decided TO invite the
w. Va. Conference OF the NJ E. Church
to meet here next year. 1t is very
probable that the invitation may be
accepted and we hope that this expec-
tation may be well founded.
At the M. p. Church next Sunday
morning the pastor will deliver an H.
Illustrated Thanksgiving sermon for
children. Let the little people come
and enjoy it. In the evening the sub
ject of the sermon will be "Tariff for
Revenue. All will be welcomed ire
spective of politics.
The Union Thanksgiving services

turn out to hear the fine address to
be delivered by the gentleman.
Rev. Wood, of Mt. Pleasant,
preached at the Presbyterian church

The Board of Regents.

Quite a lot of speculation has lately
been INDUCED in around here as to
the probable make up and policy of the
Board of Regents since the state has
gone Republican. An immediate
change of policy has been generally
prophesied by the members of the
dominant family and in some cases
admitted by the Others. A few facts
may aid these discussions by giving
the able disputants something to go
on. There are nine members of the
board, three of whom go out of Office
every two years. The expiration of
the present short term will not take
place until after the next June meet
ing of the Regents. Then of course
the opportunity will be first present
ed to the governor-elect to change the
political complexion of it by appoint
ing enough of his party to bring this
result about. This Board, even if
it should desire to. would scarcely
change anything about the Universe
ty until June, '9S. But from what
has been learned by bitter experience,
and from the attitude of the Republic
can members of the present Board, it
is not at all likely that any radical
changes will take place, at least not
until their terms expire. The Uni
versity is too well on the high road to
prosperity to be regarded very materi-
ally by the powers that be or may be.
The outcome will be radically differ
ent from what some of the local pa
triots are fondly imagining it will be.
The pie counter is not yet in such
easy reach as it is supposed to be,
gentlemen. These indisputable facts
should be borne well in mind by all
who engage in speculation as to what
is to be done. We venture the pre-
diction that what changes do occur
will not be on account of any politi-
cal reasons but will be the direct re-
suit of an earnest desire to better the
University and extend its power for
good in the whole state. G.

Females at Football.

BETHANY, W. Va, Nov. l3.-The
Ladies' football team of this place
would like to arrange games with
any similar organization in the coun-
try This team is playing a fast
game, and is winning laurels for its
alma mater. A game is being ar
ranged with the first team of the
college to come off in the near future,
and several bets are being made,
which speaks complimentary of the
young ladies. The three center play
ers weigh $50 pounds, and the backs
are heavy and fine sprinters, while
the remaining players are worthy as
sociates to their sisters. Only col
lege teams desired, but any will be
accepted.
