A LARGE INCREASE
In the Business Of the MOrgantOwn
POstoflice-W Soon be in
Tim 2aanud glass

Postmaster Wharton is very much
pleased over the large increase shown
in the postoffice business for last
quarter. 1t has shown an increase
over the corresponding quarter of
last year of $500. This if kept up
will give the Office an enormous in
crease for this year. Formerly a
three or four hundred dollar increase
in a year would make the incumbent
of the office jubilant but little
thing like that now would excite no
comment save that of disgust at the
showing not being any better. But
a few more increases and Morgan
town will go into the next class with
free delivery and many other con-
veniences not now enjoyed. The per-
quisites of the office will be worth
much more to the postmaster as he
gets his clerk hire in addition to
his salary. This change will take
place not later than July '98 as the
office will advance at least two points
in the next apportionment which oc-
ours in July. AS but three more
advances are needed to bring il
about, the wished for advance will
not be delayed more than two years
It can hardly take place this term
as the increase in business is not ex
pected to warrant it. However thai
even is strong possibility. There
are many good things in store fol

No OPPORTUNITY is being neglected
by the college authorities to adver-
tise the University. They rightly
believe that the only thing required
to get students is to let them know
how much is offered them to induce
them to come here. Following this
plan $4,000 circular letters are being
sent out. These go into every post
office in the state and call particular
attention to some changes and limo
vations just made in the agricultur-
al department. This department Of
the University equalling in excel

That Bunc0 Business.
Kingwood Argus.


Walker Pell, who claimed to have
been buncoed out OF some money by
some one at Grafton representing him
self to be a policeman, went down
there last Thursday with an attorney
to investigate the matter and find the
party if possible. They saw all the
regular police force and Pell failed to
identify any of them as the man who
relieved him of his money. We take
pleasure in noting this, as we have no
desire to ruin the reputation of any
of them, as they are all strangers to
US. Pell came home without finding
his man, but he sticks to his story
that some one held him up and got
his money, as related in this paper
two weeks ago. They found the store
in West Grafton where Pell and the
policeman" got some money changed.
Mr.. Bartlett, the proprietor remem-
bered the circumstances, but could
not recall that he knew the man. ].
H. S. Barlow, the attorney for Pell,
was here attending court and was en-
ployed Immediately after it had hap
pened to investigate the case and went
to Grafton two weeks ago and did all
he could to find the man without Pell
He came back here and arranged with
Pell to 90 down with him, which he
did, but failed to identify his man.
There is no doubt but what some one
got Pell's money as he alleges, in spite
OF the great cutlery made by the
Grafton papers, claiming that he lied
or was drunk or lost his money in some
gambling den. No one that knows
the young man can be induced to be-
lieye any Of these charges, for he has
never been accused Of lying, gambling
or being drunk, and 1t is no use for
the Grafton papers and ofIlcials to
claim that the whole story Ii a fabri-
cation, for somebody robbed the youoG

Many Make the trip.

The stretch of river from Fair
mont to this place has undergone
some very sharp inspections in the
last few weeks. Men who are wealthy
have gone out in all sorts of wealth
er with but few feelings Of repug-
nance and brayed the fury of the
storms. They have carefully ex-
amined every foot of the river,
looked after all possible lodges OF
stone and other material needed in
building the locks and dams. The
object Of these trips is to thoroughly
acquaint the prospective bidders on
the work with every possible fact
which will aid them in preparing
their bids. The trip usually takes
several days and has been made by
about a score of parties. The bids
will be opened on April u and the
result will be announced just as soon
as they can be canvassed. The work
will be given either in part or alto
gether just as the bidding warrants.
The successful bidder or bidders
will at once give the requisite Sc
curity and work on the improve
ments will begin at the earliest prac-
ticable moment. How soon that
will be depend upon circumstances.

New Military Company.

Quite number of young men about
town are talking over the ACCESSIBILITY
of organizing company Of the Ma
tional Guard. Morgantown has always
been famous for the crack military
companies she has had but at present
there is no company in the town.
There is no reason, If one is organized
why it should not be the banner COM
pany of the State guard eed every
reason why it should be. II could
not only be the best but could as
easily be made the largest. The drill
at the University has trained dozens
of young men around here who could
be induced to join new company.
Some time ago an effort was made to
organize and about sixty members
obtained with very little trouble but
the plan was discouraged by the
powers for some unknown reason.
Now there is apparently no opposition
from any source and desire that such
a company be raised is believed to
exist among the officers of the guard.
1t is not yet fully decided whether
the effort will be made or not.

Or. Hartigan Talks.

Saturday night at the Episcopal
Hall DR.. Hartigan continued the se-
ries of short talks. He took for his
theme Medicine, the road to success
in it and the kind of men which the
profession demands. His talk was
an eloquent one and was listened to
with rapt attention by the audience
which was quite large. AT the con
clusion of the lecture several persons
asked questions which were suggest
ed by the lecture or which they
wished to be enlightened on and the
Doctor replies were always in a
happy vein. Those of the students
who are missing these lee
lures are missinga great opportuni-
ty. A special invitation is given to
students to attend them. They take
place every Saturday evening at
$3.50 at the Hail.
DR.. Reynolds is to give the next
talk. His subject is Politics. No one
needs to be told that this lecture
will prove an invaluable one and il
will draw probably the largest audi
enee of the series. The Doctor al
ways has something good to say and
he is expected to make an extra fine
effort Saturday evening.

Accidental Poisoning.

About 10 o'clock last night, Miss
Gertie Jackson, of this city who with
her mother Mrs. M. McAlpin
is' picking ihops in the Holmes hop
yard south Of town, made mistake
in taking medicine that came near
proving fatal in its results. The
young lady was suffering from a vio-
lent headache and took about five
grains Of what she supposed to be
antl-camnia to alleviate the pain
from which she was suffering. 1t
was soon discovered that she had
taken morphine and messenger was
immediately dispatched to this cityfor
medical aid. Emetics were admin
istered and the young lady was pro-
nounced entirely out of danger by the
attending physician this morning.
