Editor Ofthe Herald:
noticed that in the last weeks HER
AID some one assuming to be wiser than
the town officials contributed an article
calling for a reply. The question is SEEM
ingly asked in a very philanthropic, be-
ncvolent, sympathetic, instructive spirit,
viz: "ls it wise to save expense of fuel
and deprive our young people Of educa-
tioual advantages too meagre at best ?"
find the definition OF "meagre" TO be
thin, poor, destitute of riches OF any kind.
Quite complimentary to the past lcgSla-
tors of the State. The school directors
have intended to comply with the re-
quircmcnts OF the school laws, endcavor-
ing to assist i'll making the schools sue
cess for the benefit OF the young people,
studying economy so much needed in the
town of Concord. A number the schools
in town are better accommodated by
having the short term during the winter
season. After reading the article in the
last weeks issue | was reminded of a
story that heard more than GO years
since, how a man in Boston got rich by
Winding his own business.

American securities formerly
held abroad are being returned
to the United States in large
quantities, thus reducing the
actual imports of money which
would otherwise occur as a re-
suit of our large expectations.
This fact is especially interesting,
because it shows that the people
of the United States are rapidly
becoming independent of the fl
nanciers of the old world, and
that there will be from this time
forward a great reduction in the
amount of money sent abroad in
the payment of interest. The
country at large is following the
example of individuals, and re-
ducingits Indebtedness to others.

University Notes.

The library has been closed for
some days and is undergoing the an
nual misery of Spring cleaning.
B. F. Laughlin has gone home on
account of sickness.
President Goodnight was at the
w. u. p. commemoration exercises
last week.
Law student Campbell, who has
been absent from his classes ON ac-
count of sickness, for nearly month,
is out again.
M. Z. German and j. W. Hughes,
both of '95, were seen in town a
short time this week.
1t is about time that at least few
local baseball games were played.
Classes and Forts have hitherto had
interesting games and we hope to
see number of them this String.
Surely it is not ON account of lack
of enthusiasm or class spirit that
the Seniors don't meet oftener and
don't insist SO much upon the char
acteristic senior class prestige. They
seem to be a peaceable sort of men
and women, and do not care to be
classed as rebels and conspirators
and since the tendency by few of
those in authority was to regard
their meetings as hot-beds for the
dissemination of anarchistic doctrine
and the spirit of dissatisfaction and
criticism, they presumably meet on
ly when strict necessity demands.
Where is our boating crew. Sure
ly we West Virginians are not very
aquatically inclined! A beautiful
placid stream, good boats and strong
rms,-what more do we want?
Occasional games of basketball
afford much amusement to the look
ers-on Of the sport. The rules are not
yet fully understood by all the par
Elephants. 1t is nice game and
should be encouraged.
Now that spring is here, we shall
soon expect to see botanist, geolo-
gist, entomologist and ornithologist
scour the fields and woods and scale
the hills and mountains in the pur-
suit of these favorite and intensely
| interesting studies.

There are degrees and kinds of pow.
erty, just as there are differences Of
opinion among those who compute and
measure poverty and riches by differ
ent standards. Some men deem them
selves poor because they are less rich
than Others, again there are COMPARE
tive poor people who are satisfied with
a competence. There is kind of pow
erty for which no amount of wealth
can compensate namely, poverty of
bodily stamina, evinced by nervous
ness and a arrangement of the func-
tions Of digestion, bilious secretion
and the bowels. To restore vigor upon
a permanent basis there is one RENE
dy that fully covers the requirements,
ellis the bill, and this is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. BY restoring diges-
tion, giving heathful impulse to the
action of the bowels and liver and
tranquilizing the nerves, it fulfills the
condition necessary to a resumption of
strength by the system. 1t also over
comes malaria and rheumatism.

THE WHOLE DAM BUSINESS
May be Reconsidered--A Few Sugges-
tons.

The decision of Major Hoxie that
Lock No. 10 must go just below town
or not at all has not yet been accepted
as final. 1t is shrewdly suspected
that the Major had determined on this
location and that opposition coming
as it did from laymen only strength
ened him in the determination to put
it where he chose The whole matter
hinges on one thing; can the dam at
No be raised tive feet? If this can
be done then No. 10 can go above town;
if not the only location is the one Sc
lected. There is the case in nut
shell.
Major Hoxie says No. 8 cannot
be raised the necessary two feet.
Whether that is the case is a matter
of doubt to some people. If it can
be, it would be immensely cheaper for
the town to build it than to permit the
dam to go below here. The one item
of running sewers below the contem-
plated location would cost more than
the small elevation required on No. 8.
This is leaving out of consideration all
other possible damage which might
accrue to the town.
But Major Hoxie may be removed.
The orders fol his removal have been
issued and his successor named. He
is Major Powell. 1t has been suggest
ed by leading citizen that steps be
taken to induce Major Powell to come
and view the ground, to lay the mat
| ter before him in its true light and
induce him if possible to accede to the
wishes of the town.
1t may be an open question as tt
whether building the dam as proposed
would injure the town in any way but
as at present constituted there car
not possibly be any damage done b.
the additional two feet on No. 8. We
are fearful of dangers we know not Of
Even if no damage be done to health
a large amount of property damage
would ensue and large and costly i'm
| pr0vements necessitated.
These views may not be correct but
.they certainly bear strong semblanc,
to truth and fair and impartial inves
/, tigation of them will hurt nobody. Lee
our business men and public spirited
citizens discuss the matter and i
deemed necessary have a conference,
with Hoxie'S successor.

Representative "Champ" Clark,
of Mo-, made red-hot speed in the
House on the new method of passing
appropriation bills, saying in part: :
1.-THE longer man lives the more he
finds out. First and last I've said
some unkind things of the U. S Sen
ate, and poked considerable fun at
it. In the days of 1894, was so ex-
asperated at it's conduct that, al
though l believe in two legislative
bodies, l was in favor of abolishing
it. But in this distinguished pres
ence, / wish to retract all the criti-
cisms, have made against it. /
thank God that the senate remains a
deliberative body. In this House we
are going through the most amazing
most astonishing performance which
ever took place on this Continent. "
Speaking directly of the Republicans

of last year you charged 100000
voters Of this country with being

lists. What is anarchy It is run

AS WAS expected Warrington peo-
pie are not altogether oyerjoyed at
the prospects of helping to pay for the
new Marion county court house. This
item taken from the Warrington
News will show their feeling on this
subject: ''The proposed new court
house for Marion county is to cost
something like 5000, 600 An eleva-
ton view has been placed on exhibit
tion in the large window Of the Ex-
change Bank this week. Marion coun-
ty does not want a structure like that
when building as monstrous as the
old capitol building in Wheeling can
be built for1$S0, 900. If there ever was
an injustice practiced on free cit
liens the Fairmont rings are now do
ing 1t. If Augusta county had gotten
fair deal building sufficient for
Marion could have been built for about
$18, 200. Mannington's end in the
new building will cost about $67, 600
If the project goes on. 1t is time that
this thing be stopped and give the cit
liens in general an opportunity to
have word TO say at the polls.

Judgment Against Blaney.

Last week an account Of the diff
culties at Fort Protzman was given in
this paper. These led Blaney to sue
for the amount he asserted that Protz-
AN owed him. Another matter in
dispute was whether or not Blaney
should pay for the last two weeks
board he refusing to do so as an Offset
for money claimed to be due him. The
result of the trial before the justice
was a Judgment against Blaney for
the remainder due OF the two weeks
board for the fort and a denial Of his
claim for damages. The trial was at
tended by a large crowd aud some
rather exciting passages at arms took
place between the difIerent witnesses
and counsel. IL Is understood chat

May Mean Another pormitory.

The appointment of Rev. w. E..
Powell as member of the board of
regents and his acceptance of the hon.
or means much to the University. He
is broad minded educated man and
can appreciate the needs of the Uni
versity. He stands high in the coun-
ellis of his church and his connection
will lend it the powerful support of
the denomination. Among the many
other good things which may be conf
IDENTIFY expected is either the building
of dormitory or the purchase of a
building suitable for this use. The
fact Of Rev. Powell being regent
will hasten this result great deal.
More can probably be said in common
dation of this appointment than of
some of the others.

New Regents.

Among the men most prominently
mentioned for membership ON the
new board of regents outside of
Morgantown where it is conceded
Hon. George c. Sturgiss will be Sc
lected, are several of the best known
educators and leading men of the
state.
Only four old members were chosen
by Governor Atkinson. These have
not yet been formally notified of APP
pointment or at least that
has not yet been made public.
They are Raymond, Brown, Reed
and Robinson. Colonel Robin
son is the president of the
present board and has had long
and honorable connection with it.
But he had fully determined to re-
tire at the close of this present term
and he will decline the appointment.
This declination will not be bit of
clever acting, but will be made in
good earnestness. Reed has also de-
clined.
The three short term regents at
present serving had made bargain
with Gov. McCorkle whereby. they
were to be reappointed and
thereby hangs tale. Atkinson was
very wroth when he heard of it, as he
wished to dictate who they should
be. Had his wishes been considered
the board would not have been reor-
ganized. But they were overruled.
Atkinson plead with Rucker especi-
ally to withdraw but the latter was
obdurate. Seeing that opposition
along that line was useless the law
was changed. Needless to say Mr..
Rucker will not be reappointed.
The personnel of the new board is
very well known; it will prob
ably contain Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss,
DR.. Kunst, of Weston, Raymond, of
Sutton, T. c. Atkeson, of Buffalo.
A. Campbell, of New Cumber-
land, James L. Hamill, of WEIGH;
Rev. w. E. Powell, of Parkersburg;
R.R.McMahon, of Harper's Ferry and
James F. Brown of Charleston.
These are all excellent men and will
form the necleus of a splendid board.
All we ask is that broad minded,
wide-awake men be appointed and
the future of the university is assur-
ed Very careful handling is an alb
solute necessity and from the men
selected it may be certainly expect

Last Sunday the news Of the sud
den death of DIR. George d. Purinton
was received here. The telegram
gave no particulars and it remained
for the Cincinnati papers which
came in yesterday to solve the mys-
terry as he was known to be in good
health The dispatch is as follows:
ST.. Louis, March 2S.-Dr. George
ID. Purinton, prominent West End
physician, walked into the Lindell
Hotel early last night, registered,
and requested to be called at mid
night. AT II o'clock bell boy went
to his room, found the door locked
and looked over the transom and
discovered that the doctor was dead.
An investigation disclosed the fact
that the doctor had taken prussic
acid, but nothing was found to in
dictate the cause of suicide. Dr.
Purinton was an applicant tor a
chair in Washington and Lee Uni
yersity. of Virginia, and also aspired
to the position of First Assistant
Secretary of the Department of Ag-
riculture.
To say that this is great shock
to his many friends and acquaint-
ances here would be stating it mild
ly. So far nothing has been discov
cred to show why the rash deed was
committed, but it is supposed to be
temporary mental arrangement.
He is very well known here, hav-
ing been reared here, being a grad
uate of the University and having
married a Morgantown lady, the
daughter of the late Daniel Fordyce.
His wife is the only member of his
family who survives him, a little
daughter having died some years
ago under peculiarly distressing cir
cumstances. To the hereaved rela-
tives we extend our sincerest sympa-
thy as well as that of the entire com
munity. The remains will arrive
here this afternoon and the burial
will occur at once in Oak Grove
cemetery.
