AS the subject of civil service is
investigated the deeper becomes
the disgust of the masses regard
ing 1t. Many good offices, which
were thought to be open, are found
to be protected as firmly as ordi-
nary clerkshIps. A correspondent
from Washington says even the
heads of great bureaus cannot be
removed, unless it is proved that
they are dishonest or incompetent
If removals are made the success
sors cannot be appointed except
through competitive examinations,
conducted in the States in which
the aspirants reside.
President Mckinley has the pow
er to wipe out Cleveland's regula-
lions as regards this civil service
fraud, and the better class (those
who are opposed to one set of men
holding office for hfe) of all parties
desire it done.

West Virginia University.

President Goodnight, of the
West Virginia University, writes
the ADVANCE as follows:
The report has been widely cir
culated that the West Virginia
Legislature, at its recent session,
abolished the Preparatory School
of the University.
This Is not true. No department
OF the University has been inter-
Tered with. As liberal appropri-
atoms were made for the support
and development of the Univer-
sity as for any of the other State
Institutions.
The idea is also prevalent that a
partisan Board of Regents was cre-
ated. This is mistake. The Board
of Regents will continue 10 be com
posed of nine mem bers-tive OF one
party and four of the other.
The University is in "A flourish
ing condition, with the largest at
tendance in its history and will
probably reach 475 or more for the
year.
Young men and young women Of
the State seeking an education can
make no mistake by coming TO the
University and availing them
selves of its splendid advantages.

4 FREAK OF NATURE.
y Lamb With Two Bodies, Eight
Legs and One Head.


Saturday John Rayburn, who
lives on the Camden farm, several
miles above the city, brought into
town, a great curiosity in the shape
Of two-bodied, eight legged, one
headed lamb, which came into this
world a corpse last Thursday. The
eve which caused such a sensation
IN the neighborhood Of the Camden
farm, by bringing into this world
such strange freak, is alive and
well to day. Two days before the
birth of this curiosity, she presented
a naturally formed lamb, and it is
supposed that just to show that she
was no common everyday eve she
startled her owner 10y giving birth to
this curiously formed animal.
