Dering Building.

Hon. A. b. WHITE, of Parkersburg
has been named as collector of In
ternal Revenue for the district Of
West Virginia. This was the plum
asked for by Hon. Thos. E. Davis.
of Grafton. The fight for the place
has been very bitter one and has
made large number of sores. Day
ton was hot for Davis and threaten
ed to resign unless his choice was
accepted. Elkins was for White
and White got there.
The visitors coming to and return
ing from Mont Chateau should pass
through Morgantown. 1t will help
us and them both. The roads are
much better from here over than
from Cheat Haven and the accommo-
dat.ons are much better. The pas
sage of the number of visitors which
this hotel attracts every summer will
put dollars in our pockets. The
proper effort will divert the stream
from Cheat Haven to Morgantown.
1t should be made
THE recent rains washed the roads
very badly in places and travel was
impeded to some extent. Several
bridges over the smaller streams
were washed away. The rain on
Thursday in some parts of the coun-
ty resembled cloud burst and the
creeks rose with great rapidly.
Consequently fences and bridges
were swept away and large amount
of damage was done. Considerable
amount of the growing crops was
ruined by washing.
SEVERAL neighboring towns are
wanting to get base ball games with
a team from here. But we have none
to put on the diamond against them.
For years Morgantown has had one
of the best teams in the state and
easily the best one in this end of
it. There is still an abundance of
material here for an excellent team.
All that is needed is capable man
ager and a successful team is as
sured. We can certainly find some
one who can fill the bill. Who shall
he be?
Those detectives whose wholesale
indictments of people for alleged
liquor selling did not appear before
the court. They hailed from Pitts
burg and when before the grand jury
brought in indictments galore. Nor
were they very particular as to the
truth of the charges. In one case
they indicted a man who not only
had not sold them any liquor but
who had not even seen them. Off
GERS were at the Saturday morning
train with warrants for their arrest
but they came not. When they do
a warm welcome awaits them. Who
paid them for their work has not
yet developed.
FAlRMoNT is preparing for big
time on July Sd. Races and kindred
amusements will be held. There
will be large parade and fine ball
game. Uniontown will play Fair
mont. Each side is given leave to
get any players it can secure and
two aggregations of stars will tussle
for victory. Rutter's Band will be
there and a general good time will
be had. Morgantown will send up
a large crowd to help out the cele-
bration in return for the aid Fair
mont gave us on Decoration Day.
We have not yet learned whether
there is to be special train or not
but there should be one arranged
for.
THE weather guessers come forward
with the assuring statement that the
cool and uncanny weather Of the past
month will not last all year. The
GOODNESS of the weather, some one has
figured ont, is due to the unusually
large number of cebergs and iceflelds
that have drifted since January from
the Arctic seas into the region around
Newfoundland, and partly to the prev
alence of the northwesterly winds.
But the apparent collapse of the sum-
mer at its very opening must not be
regarded as foreshadowing necessarily
a cool season. The phenomenal cold
in the first half of June, 1SSl-which
extended from the lakes to Maine and
thence southwark to North Carolina
was net followed by cool season; it
merely indicated retardation OF sum-
mer. The most plausible and practi-
cal inference to be drawn from the
present meteorological conditions is
that the warm season will be rather
late in developing its strength over
the northwest, the lake region, the
central west, the middle states and
New England, but that after the close
Of June its normal temperature in
these sections will be fully maintain
ed far into September.
