Music Was a signal.

Whenever nIhiliSts, under WHAT'S known
as Illegal passports, which give them an
assumed name, passed the paiatial residence
and heard the loud and thrilling strains OF
that piano, IL was a signal that the UNDER
ground secret press was at work, and
under the protection and with the approval
of one Of the cars most trusted servants.
Every means was taken to dSarm suSpi-
cion, if from any cause such might poSsi-
bly, have been aroused Servants and those
known to be government spies We're EN-
pIoyed about the house and given access TO
everything, but they always failed to dis
cover even the faintest trace of the dread
ed nhiliSt.
For nearly two years this dangerous
work was carried on with the utmost
success, until one day an explosion OF gas
in the printing office chamber blew up the
plant, practically destroyed the house, and
killed one of the printers. The other, with
the army officer and his family, including
the daughter, who had drowned the noise
OF the presss with her nitfsic, were baniShed
for life to the mines of Siberia, where the
father now lives, his child having died
from the nervous shock caused by the
horror of her environment short time
after her exile

DR.. Reynolds Resigns the Vice. Presi-
dency.

The announcement made recently
that the board of regents in session
at Charleston had accepted DR.. 2. B.
Reynolds resignation as vice-presi-
dent created quite stir. The doc
tor resigned only his title as vice
president and will continue in the
same position except that, as before.
His reasons for the resignation
have not been made public. Every
friend of the institution will regret
to learn of this move by DIR. Rey-
nolds They all recognize the fact
that to him more than any one man
is due the tremendous progress the
University has made the last 5 years
He has had the arrangement of the
different departments of the college
in hand and the present salts
factory arrangement is due to his
painstaking work. Every student
and professor is heartily sorry to lose
him from his accustomed place OF
authority for which he is so pecu-
liarly fitted. Sensible, dispassion.
ate, without show or pretense, easily
approached and a genial whole
souled man at all times he has the
respect of all and the sincere love
of many. We join the school in ex,
pressing our heartfelt regret that he
has found this step necessary and
hope that the time may soon come
when he can again be induced to &C
cept the position.

Church Notes.

The revival services still continue
at the M. K. church and an an
nouncement will be made tonight as
to whether or not they will go on
after to-day. 1t is to be hoped that
it may be found best to continue
them longer.
Until further notice DIR. p. B.
Reynolds will preach to the Baptist
congregation at the Municipal Hall
every Sunday beginning on next
Sunday morning.
Rev. James Sheerin is preaching
a series of sermons on social prob
lens delivering one on each Sunday
evening. Very great interest is be-
ing aroused by these discourses and
large congregations are attending.
All who possibly can are urged to
attend as much wholesome truth is
being presented in most pleasing
manner.
The revival services at the Pres
byterian church which were to have
begun some time ago and which were
postponed ON account of DR.. Runner,
sickness were begun Monday night.
They will be conducted by DR.. Ru-
mer, of Parkersburg, who is very
able divine. All should avail them
selves of the opportunity to hear
him. These services will continue
indefinitely 1t is the heartfelt wish
of all that they may result in much
good.
Rev. M. L. Smith, President of
the West Virginia M. z. conference

P0stmOrten Nonsense.

The Augusta county bill was
killed in the HouseW ednesday of this
week. A motion was made to strike
out the enacting clause. which car
ried by vote of 3S yeas to % nays.
This killed the bill and against the
vote it was USELESS for our people to
make a motion for reconsideration
as it was thought would be done.
The opposition put up by Fairmont
was strengthened by the Morgan
town forces and all kinds of rotten
means were worked against us. Many
prominent politicians took hand
against US, who will see their grand
mistake in the future if they should
ask political aims from this section
We put up an honest fight and had
surveys made by an honest people
but they appeared to have little
weight. The maps exhibited by
Fairmont were net praised by peo-
pie who know where the lines run
but with money and the assistance
of vile people they beat US. Man
nington won't stapd this kind of i'm.
position but will keep the fight up
and won't forget those who let us
fall in critical moment. Nauning

Darius Green on sunnyside.

Life recently lost its charms for
youngster on Sunnyside. He pro :.
cured a couple of chicken wings, rel.
les of former seasoned good cheer
and solemnly babe his young com
rades goodbye. His especial friend
was told of his intention to fiy away
from this vale of tears and be at
rest. They repaired to neighbor-
ing hay NOW and after an affecting
farewell, the wings were tied upon
the aspiring angel and the fight be-
gun. This was accomplished by
jumping out of the window. For
some unexplained reason the me-
chanism failed to work and the
fight instead of being heavenward
was in the opposite direction until
mother earth interposed her bosom.
The shock was terrific and shooting
stars galore were seen by the falling
cherub and incidentally the breath
entirely left his body with sudden
ness that made his head swim. For
some minutes it was an even chance
that the end of the experiment would
be an examination by st. Peter as
to the candidates fitness for entering
the home of the blest but he eventu-
ally recovered after being vigorous
ly thumped. But his longing to be
an angel has received set back from
which it will likely never recover.

WE were pleased to learn that our

now taking q course in the law de-
partment of the West Virginia Uni
versity, had been elected to the posi-
ton of class orator by very large
majority. We believe that this is
the first instance where Pennsylva-
MAN has been elected to any position
by vote of the students of West
Virginia University. This generous
act on the part of the students,
coupled with the fact that DR.. Good
knight, the worthy president of the
institution, lived for several years in
our midst, will causeGreene countians
to look upon this grand old institu-
ton with tender regard. We feel
like thanking the students on behalf
of Greene county for the honor con
ferred on one of her energetic sons

VERY UNwISE MOVE.
Made by the Legislature Criticised
Severely by Hon. G. b. Hart.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. ia
decided surprise was sprung in the
senate this afternoon, when that
body met, after dinner A bill to
re-organize the board of regents of
the university was offered, and with
out reference to committee passed
a third reading, under suspension
of the rules. The intent of the bill
is to give to Governor Atkinson the
appointment of a board consist
ing of six Republicans and three
Democrats. The present board was
appointed under the act of the Re-
publican legislature of two years
ago, and is composed Of five Demo
Gratis and four Republicans. Three
of the five Democrats are of the
sound money Democracy.
The fact is, that from the time the
present board organized there has
never been a partisan vote polled by
it. In almost every case the action
has been unanimous. The board has
been non-partisan in it's course, al
though bipartisan in its compost
ton. Under its administration the
the university has had unprecedent-
ed prosperity. In 1898, the enroll
ment of students was 244, up to that
time the largest in the history of
the institution. This years enroll
ment is 425, and bids fair to reach
500. The university has command
ed the public confidence because it's
administration has been non-parti-
san.
Three of the present regents, two
Republicans and one Democrat, are
about to go out by the expiration of
their their terms, and Governor
MacCorkle has indicated his inten-
ton to re-appoint them. The action
meets with the approval of Governor
elect Atkinson, who does not desire
to have the institution conducted on
a partisan basis. If the incoming
governor desired to appoint an en-
tirely new board, the way would be
open to him, for every member is
willing to place his resignation in
the hands of the Republican COVER
nor
The bill to re-organize the board
had the support of Republican sena-
tors because they thought it had
been agreed upon as party meas
ure, and there has been no oppor-
tunity to present the other side to
them. Friends of the university who
are familiar with its workings re-
greet that the effort is being made to
undo the good work of two years
ago, and regard the recognizing
bill as mistake. C.BH.
