have heard great deal of talk about
a world of chance and it looks some
times as if this was one Of them. We
will ind when the day of resurrection
comes that it will be quite different
Then every tub will stand ON its own
bottom. The Judge there asks no ques
tons; He knows everything suppose
if had been one OF those renegades who
followed running to ball rooms and card
tables and thought more of other women
than l did of my own companion and
had been elsewhere instead of at home
with my companion I would have beer
all right.
When l was child l had a pious
father and mother who taught me bet.
ter My mother was called away when
was but boy though my father is still
left to help me mourn in my troubles
Since / have become man l have beer
taught better by my heavenly parents
and am thankful that instead of doing
what I am accused of, it would have
been the least of my thoughts.
There is one thing that / am thank
full for and that is If we have not just
courts we have just God.
l ask you all to commence at the 18th
CHI. of Mathew and read the balance Of
book, and also to commence at the 10th
chapter and 14th verse OF St. Mark and
read the remainder of that CHAPTER and
also 81. Mark 18th chapter and 54tt
verse and read the remainder OF that
chapter. Yours sincerely,

He Lost the Minutes.

Prof. w. p. Wiley. of the law de-
partment of the University, who was
given the work Of putting in orderly
form the proceedings of the State Bar
Association, which met last week al
Huntington, learned recently that II
the work Of the late meeting would
avail anything it must be held again.
A letter from the stenographer says
that he lost his grip containing every
word of the minutes. Among the pa
pers were several bills framed by the
Executive Committee to be presented
to the Legislature, the addresses made
before the association and other val
liable papers.

A FAYETTE COUNTY CRIMEs
Girl Arrested for Infanticide and a
Minister for Completely.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Nov. 19.-Rev.
Fitzgerald, pastor of the Reformed
Dunkard church at Masontown,
William Freeman, wealthy farmer
of German township; his son Daw-
son, and his daughter, Emeline, are
under arrest, charged with partici-
patton in an infanticide. November
2, Emeline Freeman gave birth to a
child which she killed in a horrible
manner. DIR. O. E. Cloud, of Mason
town, was called to attend her, but
when he found her condition refused
to do anything until she confessed
the truth. This she did, and then
the girls father and brother endeav-
ored to compel the doctor to conceal
the facts. He refused to do this,
and when the girl was sufficiently
recovered he made information
against her for infanticide, and
against her father, brother and Fitz-
gerald for completely. The girl is
now in Jail and the others out on
bail. Rev. Fitzgerald is married and
has two children.

Darkest Africa Will Shine on tho Foot
Ball Ground.

There will be foot ball galore on
turkey day all over the country and
Morgantown is to have its share of
the carnival. Probably nowhere that
the great game is to be played will
there be such an exhibition as is to
be afforded the people who stay in
Morgantown on that day. The teams
to meet in mimic fray are representa-
tives of the creme de la creme of col
ored society from Fairmont and Nor
gantown. The gladiators have been
in hard training for week telling
what they will do to each other and
as the day approaches they are more
and more confident. DR.. ALT Jackson
will captain the local team and will
go in to win. The ball to add touch
to the play will be painted to represent
a water melon. Razors will not be
worn and and any one found biting
an opponent will be removed from the
grounds. Everything else goes includ-
ing the entire population of the two
towns.

To Be Comnlefad.

Work on the new Baptist Church
has been delayed for some time owing
to inability to collect money that had
been subscribed for building it. But
now the prospect is SO bright for get
ting the money necessary that work is
to be resumed at once and the edifce
completed as soon as possible. The
church when finished will add another
to Morgantown's list of beautiful
churches as it is to be one of the finest
in town. We are extremely glad to
learn that the building is to be COM
pleted so soon and that the good peo-
Pile who have the matter In charge
are to be so happily rid of their en-
barrassment.

The government engineers, who
are making locations for the several
slackwater dams on the Monongahe-
la, are now at work in the neighbor-
hood of Houlttown, and when they
find suitable location there they
will have finished their work. The
dam to be built at that point will be
sufficient to back the water to Mo
nongah- The next dam below will
be in the vicinity of Louisville. II
is believed that the engineers will
complete the preliminaries this win
ter, and that the work of building
the dams will be begun early next
spring.

Town and Gown Neither Able to score


Friday afternoon one of the most
hotly contested games of the season
took place on the local gridiron. The
rival teams were composed on one side
Of town boys and the other of stu
dents. For two snappy, exciting
halves they tugged, pushed and haul
ed each other around without gaining
the slightest advantage. Honors were
decidedly even and both were glad of
it when time was finally called leav-
ing neither vanquished. For the town
st. Clair and Pastorious played the
best ball and for the college James
Smith excelled. A large crowd was
present and cheered their favorites.
Several very important points on how
to play the game were gained by men,
bers of the first team who were pres
ent. The line US was as follows:
