AT Philippi the postmaster, L. d.
Robinson, has been fired and G. A.
Grant given job by Hon. Civil Ser
vice Dayton.
DIR. WILLIAM M. DENT has been
elected mayor of Newburg. The en-
tire Democratic ticket was elected
by small majorities.
A NEW bulk head has been put on
the depot siding to replace the old
one which had been smashed all to
pieces by continued shifting.
THE Baptist church troubles at
Connellsville which have resulted in
several free fights have been settled
by the withdrawal of the pastor
who was solely responsible.
GUY WILEY has made the trip
from Fairmont down here a great
many times recently with contractors
who are inspecting the sites for the
locks and dams. He is an expert
boatman and is now very well ac-
quainted all the way down.
| SEVERAL voters who were opposed
to the extension Of the independent
school district are now heartily in ia
vor Of bonds. They don't believe in
any half way measures and intend to
have school building which shall be
a credit to our rapidly growing city.
ATTENTION is called to the fact that
the law against train jumping is daily
violated at the depot. If an officer
will stroll down there about the time
freight comes in he may be able to
prevent some very bad accidents and
add few plunks to the town treas
ury.
SERGEANT Bennett has had force
of men breaking stone and repairing
bad places in the streets. All the
mud holes about town developed by
the winter have been filled and the
streets generally are being put in an
excellent condition.
The dynamite explosion in the
academy blew the old bell into frag
ments. They have been carefully
picked up and from them rings are
being made These will be treasured
by the persons who have tender
feelings toward the old building, as
priceless relics.
FRED MINsHALL, of Piedmont, who
is well known here is engaged in en-
gineering work in South Carolina. He
is putting in a system of water works
for the city of Medium. The papers
down there speak in the highest terms
of his skill. His many friends here
will be glad to hear of his success.
KEYsER holds the record for the
| persistent postoffice fiend. A little
girl has called every day for three years
for mail but has as yet not even re-
ceived SO much as patent medicine
circular. Not one single piece of mail
has been received by the family in
that time yet we venture that they
often berate the postmaster for ineffi-
cient service.
SEVERAL Parkersburg citizens had
an airship attack Saturday night.
They are still at large. Those un-
fortunates in Morgantown who were
similarly affected spent the glad
some Easter in the recesses of the
Bastile. The cops are getting vigi-
liant and whenever man begins to see
things he is taken care of us by this
means an airship attack can usually
be STAYED off.
A GENTLEMAN who is regular
habitue of the Opera House recently
said in this office: The people of
Morgantown ought to give the Man
ager of the Opera House a rousing
benefit at the close of the season. He
has spent great deal of time in the
past two years planning to entertain,
amuse and instruct the theater 60
ing public and has not made dollar
out of it." The above finds ready
response in many hearts. 1t ought
to be done. Who will suggest a plan
for carrying it out?
PRoF. w. J. HOLDEN, '95, of Glen
vile Normal school recently had
some trouble with three of his stu
dents, two ladies and gentleman.
He accused them of cheating in their
examinations and expelled them.
These students took an appeal to the
State Superintendent and employed
Attorney Kidd, of Glenville, to rep
resent them in their appeal. Last
week Prof Trotter went to Weston
to sit upon the appeal. After hear
| ing all Of the facts, he fully sus-
tanned Prof Holden, and the stu
| dents were expelled.
The line up of the University base
ball team is nearly complete. II
Dwight Miller had not been hurt he
would have occupied second base and
the team would have been definitely
settled. As it is this position is be-
ing contested for by three men, Par
sons, Orr and Bumgardner. The
team is Pratt, catcher; Lowe, pitch
cr; Anderson, first base; McWharter,
third base; Rogers, right field,
Laughed, center: Lewellen, left
field. While the team is not gener-
ally supposed to be as strong as it
was last year yet it may surprise the
fans when it gets on the field. 1t is
very hard to judge the strength of a
base ball team and the prophets have
been sadly mistaken here in the
past
