1t is reported that ex Presiden

tofore the chairman of the faculty

slty.
The invitation would have been

the hot discussion that rent the meet
ings in twain and successfully
thwarted any action for the present.
The dlssention arose from the fact
that the name Of Gordon McCabe
was proposed as prospective president
Of the University. Mr.. McCabe has
. strong political backing in Vir-
ginia. especially in and about Rich
mond, but is said to be unpopular
with the faculty.
When it was seen that this politi-
cal "pull" was to be exerted to have
the nomination of Mr.. McCabe in
sured the meeting grew stormy to .
point that the mt mbers Of the faculty
arose and declared they would resign
in a body if McCabe was elected
president of the University.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 23.-This
has been a quiet day in the Paramount

alike maneuvering for position and

made by Mr.. Ratchford this afternoon.
He said: "In the last twenty -four
hours l have organized three hundred
men in this region and attended q
meeting late last tight, at which dele

This fight is of vital concern to all
organized wOrkmen. To win it means
the strengthening of all unions, while
to lose it means disintegratiOn. No
chief officer can be better engaged than
to attend this Wheeling conference,

Virginia is the key to it. West Vir-
ginia must join the ranks in the strug-
gle for better conditions. | will say
frankly that this movement is but the
beginning. We have promises of sup
port, and the power of organized labor
will be developed, branch by branch,
as the necessities of the situation de-
mand, until all are on a STRIKE"
There have been number of rumOrs
current to-day of trouble at various
places, but all are false. Everything
is quiet in eastern Ohio and in Mar

MIRACULOUS MUD.
FOUND At the INDIANA MINERAL
SPRINGS, IND, CURES RHEUnA-
TISM, KIDNEY, BLADDER,
BLOOD, SKIN AND NER-
vOUS DISEASES.

Big Hotel Has Been Erected And People
Are Jeurnsying There From All Over the
Country to Battle in the Mud
A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread
attention. 1t is located at the In
diana Mineral Springs, Warren
County, and has been formed by the
action Of the water from the famous
Magno- Lithia springs. Through
countless ages the foliage of magni-
fcent oaks on the hillside has annu-
ally fallen into a basin, and has been
reduced by nature into q pure black
earth unmixed with roots, stones or
sand. The water from the big spring
for thousands of years has been soak
ing this deposit and saturating it with
mineral salts, until now there is q
layer Of medicated mud about two
acres in extent and from ten to
twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value OF
this peculiar, black, porous sub
stance was accidentally discovered
by an older soldier. Sam Story, who
had brought rheumatism home from
the war and suffered with it fol
years. He was attempting to dig a
drainage ditch through the mud de-
post, and after INDUCING in this
use less experiment for q week OF
more, gave up the idea, but mean
while had deem cured of his rheuma'
tism.
The fame of the mud began te
spread, and afflicted congregated q,
the springs from everywhere. tn.
method of using the mud was at FRS
very primitive, the patient merely
sitting down in the deposit where
nature had laid it. But since ther
improvements have been made, ,
beautiful hotel erected, and the mut
bath develored into q luxurious ex
