Written for the New DOMINION.


As Nansen's coming had not been
very widely advertised, there was not
so large an audience at his first lecture
as there ought to have been; but
those who were there made up in en-
tlusiasm what they lacked in num-
bers. On seeing Nansen for the first
time one is impressed with his SIM
| plicity of character. He does not
seem to think he has done anything
very wonderful, and uses only the
most modest terms in describing his
adventures.
He is quite tall, over six feet, and
has fair hair and grey blue eyes. His
face is more attractive in expression
than his photographs would lead one
to believe, with the look of one who
has thought much, and deeply. His
whole personality expresses deter
mination and ideality of the high
est kind. His pride in the good ship
"Fram" is delightful to see, and evil
IDENTIFY he considers her success more
important than his own, speaking of
her affectionately as of friend.
When the s'Fram" first entered the
Polar Sea they feared she might not
prove equal to the tremendous strain
upon her exerted by the packed ice,
but as she met each successive shock
without harm, the crew finally conclu-
ded that nothing could hurt her, and
they went on with their work, or their
amusements; quite upconcernedly
amidst the worst storms. hansen
had so carefully selected his compan-
ions that any one of them could have
conducted the expedition if he had
died or been lost.
Many OF them were animated with
the same love Of science that he was,
and possessed that ''stern temper Of
heroic hearts" that is characteristic
Of the Norsemen. There was happy
blending Of endurance and hopeful
ness in their natures; a poetic imag-
nation that kept them from stagna-
tion, and quiet determination that
forbade them to despair. This at
least was the impression l gained OF
hansen himself, and imagine it was
typical of nearly all his companions.
When he and Johanson left the
"Fram' and spent those five long
months on the ice, there was no
thought In their minds of failure.
"We must succeed" as Nansen said.
1--WE dared not go back, we had to
go forward
How lonely those long Arctic days
were, he only could know, who had
experienced them. Their worst suf-
ferlng is described very simply, as 1--WE
were quite uncomfortable, or, 1--WE
had an unpleasant day." or, II was
almost ready to give up" But never
quite ready; never despaIring even at
the worst moments. This is the
glory Of that fifteen months fight with
the Arctic cold, and the lesson OF the
three years cruise of the FRAN,
they we're still ready
ITO strive, to seek, to find
And not to Yield"
Nansen ended his lecture with these
beautiful lines from Teunyson, and
we felt 1t had been q great privilege to
come IN touch With q mind " such
heroic ideals, and splcndldK chIeve-
lucnt. =

for lost. As long as the vivifying
power of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
can be felt, and that is possible so
long as there is no absolute collapse
of the faculties, fresh vitality can be
infused into wasted, feeble frames;
color and flesh can be brought back,
wasted pallid cheeks with this grand

and the remedy for and preventive
Of dyspepsia bilious, malarious, rheu-

Appetite and sleep are greatly aided
by it; it counteracts the effect of I'M

of exposure in Indictment weather or

Finish Grading North High Street.
Council met in regular session last
night with all the members present.
Not great amount Of business was
transacted.
The mayor was instructed to direct
the Union improvement company to
replace the streets which they have
been tearing up, in proper shape, ac-
cording to the ordinance in that re-
gard The company has been replac-
ing the old gas mains with large pipe,
and in putting back the earth it has
not been tramped properly, but
thrown in loosely. A great deal Of
complaint has been made on account
Of this, and several accidents have re-
suited from the way the work was
done. Horses have fallen In the
bitches which were left, and loaded
wagon upset on Walnut street few
days since by the wheels sinking in
the soft filling.
The Municipal Hall was rented to
the w. V. q. Cotillion Club for two
meetings each month at IS per month.
This club is composed of students
and town people. The students are
the active members and have direc-
ton Of it's affairs. Two dances are to
be given every month by it.
A contract was made with Col. T.

grading of North High street. Con
siderable work has already been done
on this street and the Colonel was di-
rected to finish it. Work was begun
on it this morning.
Council adjourned to meet again to-
night, when the Durbannah bridge
question will be taken up again The
South Morgantown council will be in

the city dads ON this side, and tn,
matter will be discussed again. Ii
is proposed to place trestle work al
each end of the bridge instead of fills
as was proposed, in the plan which
fell through on account of the heav,
cost. By the new plan trestle car
be put in at this end in the shape o
Y, at the cost Of 81, 400, when fill'
would cost more than $4,000. Thu
new plan may be adopted. If it is
Mr. Meredith, who is In Fairmont
will be summoned down here to con
suit with the councils in regard Il

Some such plan should be adopted
The people want it. Every consider
alton demands that it be done. N
reason in the world exists why grad
crossing should be left at the end o
the bridge. Now is the only tim
possible to make the improvement al
such small outlay of cash. Prob
ably it never can be done later.
South Morgantown is ready ant
willing to do her share. Nothing i
lacking but the consent of our eoun
Gil. 1t should delay the matter n,
longer, but should act in accordanc

ATKINSON IS A CANDIDATE.
The Governor Wants to GO to
the u. S. Senate.
His Relations With Gofr are Friendly
and He will Not Make the
Race III Goff Does.

Governor Atkinson comes out tn
the following interview with the
Charleston correspondent OF the
Wheeling Intelligencer, and an
nounces himself candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed Sem
ator Faulkner:
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. H.
There is no longer any doubt Of Gov
ernor Atkinson's senatorial ambition.
He was seen to-day by the Intelligen-
Ger representative and the following
pointed question was put to him:
Governor, there Is considerable
talk among the people as to your pos
sible candidacy for seat in the Tn
tied States Senate from West Virgin
ia. Can | say to the readers OF the
Intelllgencer that you will be in the
race fer that honorable position?n
81 can answer that question in
this way replied Governor Atkin
son. 81 have been requested by a
large number Of influential party
friends TO become candidate for the
Senate for months past, and have
all along stated that my relations
with Judge Nathan Golf have been
for years of very intimate character,
and that / would not feel inclined
TO oppose him, should he announce
himself as candidate for that Office.
A number Of his close friends have
informed me that the Judge would
under no circumstances be willing to
give up his present position for seat
In the Senate, /, therefore, have no
right to doubt his sincerity in the
matter, and In view OF this fact,
coupled with the statement of friends
to me that they regard me as the
logical candidate of the party in this
State for that position, l am inclined
to say to my friends that | am a
candidate for Senator. and will thank
the people for their support
II presume you will say that this
is fair answer to your interrogatory
/ will add further that we have many
Republicans in West Virginia who
are competent for that high office,
some of them doubtless better fitted
for that place than myself. They
too, have claims and may have their
friends and they are entitled to con-
sideration. There is no monopoly
about it. 1t will be an open, free
field. | do not want it understood
that | have special claims, or quail
ifications for the place. With Gener-
al Golf not in the raca / consider my
chances for success equal, at least,
with other friends who may be in the
race"
"What about an extra session Of
the Legislature?"
/ 81 don't think one will be called. |
am confident none should be had /
am fully persuaded that the amend
ments to the constitution will not be
ratified by the people should they be
Submitted. Why, then, should the
people be taxed with the expense OF
an extra session when nothing can
come of it? So far as / have beer
able to learn the wishes of the people
on ,he subject they are almost UNI
animously against the extra session.
You can say for me that | will not
assume the responsibility Of issuing
the call. If the legislators them
selves make the call, the responsible
ty must rest with them"

lovely capes and jackets and the low
prices they all sell them at l real
lied that | had been paying about
double what they ask by sending e

RIVER IMPROVEMENT BIDS.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Chief
of Engineers has passed upon the bids
for the construction of four locks on
the Ohio river, and it is believed that
he has recommended to the Secretary
Of War the acceptance. Of the lowest
bid, that submitted by Eigmann,
Hollenbach, Eichel & Arnold, Of
Evansville, Ind, as recommended by
Major Bixby, the engineer officer in
charge. This recommendation Is
based upon the view that the law
allows no discretion with the Depart
ment in such cases, provided the firm
is properly bonded.
The bids for the improvement OF
the Monongahela river have just
reached the Chief Of Engineers and
will be taken up for examination i'm
mediately. In this case, as in the
case of the Ohio river locks, strong
protests have been lodged against the
reception Of the lowest bid, submit
ted by G. l. Mcdonald.

4 LITTLE SUFFERER

Faoe, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors = How q Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
ON his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparjlla. We decided to give
It to our boy and we noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of his
blood and II has never since returned. ]"

Prof. and Mrs. Atkeson

While in attendance on the meet
ing Of the National Grange, at Har-

son took prominent part in the
session. He was appointed on the
committees of Order of Business ard
Education. Mrs. Atkeson was Civ
en- place on those Of Transportation
and Dormant Oranges.
Prof. Atkeson delivered an adj
dress of which the Harrisburg Tele-
gram says:
Prof. Atkeson, Master of the West
Virginia Grange and dean Of the Ag-
ricultural University of that State
was then introduced. Prof Alike
son, in apologizing for the breyity-
to-be of his remarks, said that dur
ing the present convention there had
been great deal of talking, and be
considered action more important.
He told of the birth of the Agricul
tural College the passage of the
Landreth act of 1862, which set
aside certain lands for the building
of such institutions and also gave a
brief history of the West Virginia
State Agricultural University He
showed the necessity for colleges to
which the farmer may send his
children for an education outside of
the less useful classical courses,
which latter often served but to OBJ
struct the proper purposes of such
institutions in the teaching of agri-
culture. He thought emphatically,
however, that inasmuch as any farm
er can certainly teach his boy more
of practical farm knowledge in one
day than an agricultural college can
impart in lifetime, these institu-
tions should be devoted to teaching
the underlying fundamental princi-
pies, rather than the practical odds
and ends, of the science of agricuI-
ture
