RANDALL, Oct. 12--Several persons
went from this neighborhood To the ex-
position.
Samuel Miller and wife and L. G..
Wiedman and wife went on the new
line on Sunday and returned on We'd
nesday. Win Hall and wife, Steve
Bircher and wife, Simon w. Boyers and
wife, and Lum Cobun and wife went on

Thursday.
The incident OF this excursion was
that certain woman tried to run off
with Lum Cobun, and Mrs. Cobun had
Lum locked up in room in the hotel to
prevent the woman taking possession Of
him. All these persons say they had q
delightful time and feel very grateful to
the officers of the boats for their kind

them. Squire Barker and wife went on
Wednesday and returned on Friday.
A musical took place at ID. Wiedman's

Hubbard, of Morgantown, was present.
| read sermon delivered by the Rev.
Lyman Abbott, one of the most celebra-
ted preachers Of America. He makes a
claim in this sermon which have never
heard any other preacher make--and
which comedies with my opinion. He
says that God will forgive sins but will
not release any one from the penalties Of
SIM" He further says you cannot find
anywhere in the Bible where God prom
Uses to remit punishment for wilful
sins.
Rev. Mr.. Hall and brother were on
an extended visit to their old home and

Church Notes.

DR.. Cameron preached his first
sermon in the new year on Sunday
morning introducing it with the re-
mark that he felt somewhat different
from new pastor and expressed his
satisfaction at the state of affairs
that exist in the church. He was
suffering from an affection of the
throat and Rev. John Beddow
preached in the evening. The latter
gentleman goes to Cameron this
year.
Prof. Whyte preached on Sunday
at the Baptist church to very large
congregation. His subject was, "The
Ideal Home" This was his first
sermon in Morgantown and it was a
very able one indeed.
The services on Sunday at Trinity
church were conducted by Bishop
Peterkin it being his annual vista
tion to Morgantown. The congre-
cations were large. In the morning
the text was John 1925, s'He that
loveth his life shall lose it, and the
subject was "The contest between
the Higher and Lower Life" In
the evening, Genesis 13:13was chosen
as the text, S'Thou God seest me-"
The infant son of Rev. and Mrs.
Sheerin was baptized in the morn
ing.
Communion services were held at
the Presbyterian church on Sabbath
morning. Two young men were
baptized and received into the
church. They were Clyde w. H.
Stewart, son Of Major Stewart, and
j. L. Protzman. The congregations
were good ones.
The congregations at the Lutheran
services yesterday showed considera-
Bile improvement in point of numbers.
The services were very interesting.

Farmers Adjourn.

The State board of agriculture
finished up its work yesterday and
adjourned to meet at Martinsburg
on the 18th inst Beyond what has
been reported the business trans
acted was purely routine and not of
interest to the public.
The board will be represented on
the new geological survey by two
members. The president, Mr.. At
kinson, Of Brooke, is a member by
virtue of being president of Che board
of agriculture, and another member
Prof. L. c. Atkeson, OF Morgantown,
has been chosen secretary of the
board.
The members of the board voted
themselves their salaries yesterday
and were paid off before they left the
Gazette.

VERY BADLY INVOLVED.
Commissioner Glasscock's Re-
port of the Mont Chateau
Matter.
Went i'm the Hole Every season-Assets
$75O0-Liabilities $14, 245-Ordinary
Creditors Left i'm the Cold-Decree Of
sale Will be Made.

|. The Mont Chateau Hotel proper
ty will likely have a decree for its
sale made at this term of court. The
property has been a losing investment
from the start and is now far on the
wrong side of the ledger.
Mr.. E. H. Steinman who managed
the property this summer has made
his report to commissioner W. f.
Glasscock for the season. 1t shows
an income of 1928, for the entire
season. The report also shows that
the expenditures were the same. Be
sides what was paid there remains
unpaid the salaries. of the manager,
the clerks and several small bills
amounting in the aggregate to sew
eral hundred dollars.
The claim has been made that the
profits for the company this year
amounted to $4,000 but the reports
proves how utterly groundless this
claim is.
To-day from the mass of evidence
given to him commissioner Glasscock
made up his report to be presented
to the court. 1t shows that the prop
erty is worth everything being in
Guided $500. This is probbaly
much more than it is worth but that
is the average estimate placed upon
it By witnesses.
The debts are enormous amount
ing to $14,245.34. OF this sum &c.
9S3.26 being unpaid purchase money
and claims of the Second National
Bank and William G. Ley must be
paid before the creditors under the
general deed of trust and assign
ment can receive penny. So an
ordinary claim against the company
is not likely to prove very able
bodied Klondike.
This report together with all the
papers in the case will be presented
to the court at the session next
week and a decree of sale will I'M
doubtedly be made.

Let Gov. Atkinson Explain.

The press of the State is still crit
icising Gov. Atkinson for the re-
markable disappearance OF chat Tl2
600 contingent fund, viii h the law
says shall be used to defray only ex-
traordinary expenses. The Governor
may have believed that the junxets
that have been INDUCED in by him
and his staff to New York and Chi
cago came under the head of extra
ordinary expenses, but we can hard
ly believe that he took this view of
those affairs. We can scarcely be-
lieve that this fund was spent for
such purpose by the Governor, al
though it has been exhausted and it
is said that other bills OF similar
nature are now being charged up
against other funds of the State.
We suggest that in order to quiet
unjust criticism and speculation as
to what has been done with the S12-
600 contingent fund and to disprove
the statement that the personal
junketing bills of the Governor and
his staff, which were in excess of
this fund, have been charged up
to other State funds in violation of
all law and precedent, and to salts
fy the people who are very curious
on the subject, that Governor Akin
soa make a public statement giving
an itemized account of the uses to
which this contingent fund has been
put that have so early caused it's en-
tire disappearance and state if the
present expenses which this fund
was intended to defray are now be-
ing charged up against other State
funds.
A simple direct statement from
the Governor will set at rest the talk |
that is INDUCED in all over the State
and which if not headed off by an
explanation from Governor Akin
son will shortly result in fastening
on his administration one of the
greatest scandals in the history of !
West Virginia.
The people are waiting to hear
from the Governor Wheeling Reg
isSer.

What's That

TRENTON. N. j., Oct. S.-The John
A. Roebling Sons Company, in a
letter to local paper, find fault
with the Dingley tariff bill. The
letter says that as consequence of
too low rate Of duty their mill is not
running full handed, and that their
1900 employees, "most of whom voted
the Republican ticket, have been
fooled and may vote the other way

The inauguration

The Inauguration of the President
elect Of the University is the event
which will attract pablo attention
tomorrow.
We think tbs entirely appropriate
that such an event should be attended
by such ceremonies as recognize its
significance and Importance to the
University. For it is an event which
very largely involves the veal or
the woe Of the University in the flu
ture. If the president is the right
man, the prosperity of the institu-
ton is assured. If, on the other
hand, it happens that the interests
of the University are put in the
hands of man untitled and incapa-
BILE of conducting them, it is great
misfortune which can only be ar
rested in its results by his removal
which is always accompanied with
more or less confusion and damage.
An educational institution is very
sensitive to change. The President
and Faculty enter upon line OF pol
icy, and time and money are expend-
ed in developing that policy. when
suddenly change is made in the
head of the institution; "a new man
is indicted into oilice,a new policy is
inaugurated, and the time and mon
ey spent in the past is largely wasted
and lost. This has been the unior-
tunate history of our State Universl-
ty in the past
The Inauguration therefore 81 a
new president, is no small event 1t
means much for good or evil, and ey-
cry friend of the University will
hope that it may prove permanent
and profitable.
These inaugural ceremonies can
not be understood as any exclusive
tribute to the man, becauss the pres
ident elect has not yet had an oppor
tunity to prove his title to the
place, but it is rather recognition
of the Importance of the event while,
at the same time it is an expression
of confidence and hope in the selec-
ton, as well as a sincere desire to
make his administration "a success.
We are glad to believe that Presi-
dent Raymond, in the few weeks Of
his new administration, has inspired
the belief both in and out OF the I'M
lversity that 70 mistake has been
made in his selection The ultimate
test OF the fitness of a man in this
place, is not that he may be able to
compel respect, but that he shall
disclose personality that will draw
to him both faculty and students
involuntarily and spontaneously.
This is the kind of command that o.
President must have if it is effective
and permanent And to obtain such
a control, as we have said, he must
possess the personal qualities and
which will win it There
is no other public position to which
a man may be called where unfit
ness will more quickly appear and
he will more surely fail if unfit, than
in the position to which Dir Ray
mond has been called.
We can assure him that he has
the best wishes and will have the
support Of every friend of the Uni
versity for a long, prosperous and
grandlv successful career.

DEFEAT
Tasted by the University Boys
on Saturday.

p. A. c. Too Heavy For Them---Play
PIucky Game---Defeafed in Sec
ond Half---Bluff against Science
Hopes for Thursday's--TheL Line Up.
| The local foot boys opened
the season with defeat at Pittsburg
against the r. A. c., Saturday. While
the score was against them the re-
suit is not all discreditable. The
average weight of the opposing team
was fully As pounds more than the
University lads. With this handi-
cap, to hold down the score to one
touchdown is a notable achievement.
One thing was clearly proven, W.
V. L. has very good team. They
play quick, snappy ball Their in
reference is fine and they run the
ends with superb form. OF course
their lack of weight makes their fine
bucking weak, but they did well at
that too at timee.
In the game Saturday in the first
rush, Yeagers nose was hurt and in
consequence he did not play his
game, although under the circum-
stances he shows as a star. Cole
played tackle in great shape and in
fact all the boys did well. The
backs were particularly good.
Fumbling was not so much in evil
idenee as it usually is on the first
game.
The game was lost in the second
half, when p. A. c. by sheer weight
pushed the ball up near the the goal
line and by fortunate chance got a
clear field and touchdown. The
boys are greatly encouraged by the
game and will tackle Westminster
on Thursday with courage. The
team met defeat at the hands of w.
d J. Saturday by a score of 16 to 0.
The local boys should make it still
higher.
