Death Of Mrs. In. psrans.

| 1t was d very sweet and sanity
| spirit that went out in the death OF
Mrs. Sarah B. Hagans, che wife OF
Judge Hagars, which occurred on
last Saturday.
| In quiet way the influence of
her life had been felt for many years
in this community as a stimulus to
all that is good and noble and pure
In human character. None came
within the influence of that life who
did not catch the flavor of an exalted
spirit. She stood for all the higher
and diriner virtues of the Christian.
She was always gentle, always just
in her judgments, always charitable,
without envy and without malice,
always keenly discriminating be-
tween the good and evil in life and
intuitively dividing the gold from
the dross.
Added to her christian virtues--if
indeed, there is any distinction
she possessed native refinement,
an aesthetic taste, love for the
beautiful and true in art, that made
hef d queen in her home and sur
rounded it always with exquisite
taste and comfort. There was always
about her home an atmosphere of
hospitality and good will. There
she sat through many years, an in
valid, gentle yet commanding spir-
it, giving out kindness and sympa-
thy like perennial spring, while
conquering and concealing her own
infrmities with patience and will
that were sublime.
If her life was illustrative of how
the Christian may live so was it of
how grandly he may die. Those
who stood around that death bed
will never forget the scene. There
was no shadow of the grave, no dark
ness, no shrinking, no terror, no
doubt there. For many days she
fingered as it were on the very Dor
der of the beyond. The door seemed
to be standing ajar for her and she
was in the very act of entering, but
her soul still refused to quit its frail
tenement. Many times her family
gathered about her bedside to say
goodbye, and it was pathetic, if not
dramatic, to see her come out of a
brief moment of unconsciousness,
open her eyes with look of surprise
and exciaim, well here | am yet; l
thought l was going homer While
her physician and friends were using
all the resources of skill and affec-
ton to retain her spirit, she was
pleading, ''Oh, please let me go
home. Don't do anything more for
me, want, SO much, to go. ! have
said now all have to say, why do
you want to keep me?'
Her mind was as clear as the un-
clouded sky down to the last mo-
ment She watched with sub
lime calmness and courage her APP
proach to the portals of the other
shore. Her eyes were turned long
ingly in that direction, when, as
quietly and peacefully as the pass
ing OF an evening zephyr, her spirit
sped away and she was ''at home. "

University Notes.

President Goodnight has returned
from his Charleston and Indiana trip.
His reception in chapel was quite
warm.
Student Davis, who has been sick
for some time appeared for the first
time in many weeks in the law class
of which he is popular member.
Quite a hearty reception was given
him by the boys.
The finding of the court martial in
the case of private R. L. Osborn has
at last been published, having been
delayed by reason of the Presidents
absence, whose approval is necessary
to its validity. Mr.. Osborne's offense
was an assault upon Sergeant Mccoy
for having reported him on the de-
linquency list for violation of cadet
regulations. The sentence is dishon-
orable discharge from the cadet corps.
Truly chapel is roll call and not a
religious exercise.
The cadet corps is now part of the
National Guard. This is certainly a
step in advance, for hitherto it has
been regarded by most people as a
mere play or pleasure organization.
This new provision should and doubt
less will, add much to its efficiency.
The law class must be making its
exodus; for each day appears the
mighty pillar of fame and smoke COM
pletely hiding them from the imagin-
airy Egyptians in pursuit. No human
eye could penetrate that rear-of-the-
corridor atmosphere, and so they are
as safe from pursuit as if they were in
Abraham's bosom. Boys, think a mo-
ment! Would you want your sister
subjected to such an offensive atmos-
phere?

The Novelty Co.
Sturgiss Gets 1t.
/. o. 0. f. BUILDING.

Governor Atkinson in his inaugu-
raj says that he has determined up
on the various boards of visitors and
regents which he is to appoint but
will not make their names public
until March 10th, to-day. 1t is I'M
derstood from very good authority
that Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss will be
one of the board of Regents of the
University. Considerable pressure
was brought to bear on the Cover
nor to prevent the appointment of a
resident regent but the very evident
wisdom ofsuch move coupled with
local demand caused the selec-
ton to be made. Morgantown de-
serves above all other towns to have
regent and since her wish is to be
gratified we are indeed pleased to
learn that such a splendid choice
has been made He will make an
ideal regent and we only hope that
the rest Of the board may be as cap
able in every respect.

Arbitration Committee appointed to
/ Assess Damages to school Property
Come to an agreement. Amount Sc
sOs.35.
The committee appointed by the
school board and Insurance Comps
MES to assess damages done 70 the
old Academy building by the recent
FIRE, has at last come to an agree
ment.
This committee consisted of
Messrs. Huston, Fields and Hickman
Mr.. Hickman was acting on the part
Of the Insurance Companies, Mr..
Huston for the School Board, and
Mr.. Field came In to decide any diff
ferences which might arise between
the other members of the committee.
The amount finally agreed upon
was Sc, 509.35. Mr. Huston at first
contended strongly for a larger
amount, while Mr.. Hickman wished
to make IL still smaller. Mr.. Fields
then decided upon an amount some
what lower than had been asked by
Mr.. Huston, which was finally agreed
to by both Mr.. Huston and Mr..
Hickman.
Mr.. Fields leaned rather towards
the side of the School Board, for as
he said, he had made thorough ex-
animation Of the building and found
the building was prac tically of little
value to the School Board and could
not be repaired.
The insurance on the building was
$1,000 and on the furniture 800,
making total of $4,000 This
leaves a difference between the total
amount of insurance and amount
awarded of 81, 1905. This differ
ence is supposed to represent what
the building as it now stands, would
bring II put up for sale.
The School Board is somewhat
dissatisfied that the amount of the
award does not more nearly repre-
sent the total amount of insurance
but it had been agreed by them they
should accept as final, the award
which should be decided upon by the
arbitration committee. On the 9th
er hand the insurance companies
are also dissatisfied with the agree
ment, but they likewise are bound
to its fulfillmeut.
According to the conditions of the
agreement the board will be allowed
to remove the furniture from the
school building for use in the var
ious rooms which have been secured
in which to continue the work of the
interrupted term.
The Methodist church will not be
used by the High School. Some are
inclined to censure the members OF
the church who opposed letting out
their Sunday School rooms for the
school, but those who did so had many
good reasons for taking the stand
they did, and in doing SO had the
interests of their church at heart
and were entirely conscientious in
the matter.

Capital stock Reduced.

KINGwooD, w. Va, March AT
a recent meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of Kingwood it was
unanimously agreed to reduce the
capital stock from 1925, 900 to $75,-
900. This was done because of the
decreased demands for loans caused
by the uprising Of number of other
banks in the territory where the
Bank Of Kingwood formerly loaned
money. This bank was organized
in 1865 as u national bank At the
expiration of its charter as nation
|al bank, in 1885, it was organized
as State bank, and has ever since
| as before, carried on business in a
