A Valuable Acquisition.

Prof. Dennis NJ. Willis was au-
thorized by the board of regents at
their June meeting to secure an as
sistant in his department Accord
ingly he has been busy canvassing
the field for first class man. Quite
a lot of correspondence has been
done and number of good men
have been located. Probably the
very best possible aspirant is Prof.
Isaac Dement, of Chicago. He is the
fastest short hand writer in the
world having a speed of 425 words
minute. At present he is engaged
in the publishing business, publish
ing his own text books, being quite
an authority on the subject of short
hand, editing shorthand magazine
and publishing other books. Prof.
Willis is very desirious of securing
his services and if possible will land
him. He is inclined to come here
and il he does the commercial de
partment will receive an extremely
valuable acquisition. Nothing which
could be done would render this de-
partment more excellent than would
this move. We certainly hope that
Prot Dement, can be induced to
come here.

The Lottery is Dead.

In 1890 congress passed the anti
lottery postal law which debarred
lotteries out of the mails and also
newspapers which contained their
advertisements were prohibited to be
transmitted. The Dingley Bill has
gone step farther The effect of
the first bill was to cause the lotter-
les to leave the country but through
the express companies they still did
a large business. Now however they
are shut off entirely as a portion of
the new bill absolutely forbids the
importation of the lottery tickets.
Customs officers who wink at the vi
olation Of the law are to be punished
severely and every possible avenue
of entrance is well guarded. Sena-
tor Hoar proposed prohibition du-
ty but Mr. Dingley has gone to the
root of the difficulty and thanks
to him the United States is now
free from any possible visitation of
the foreign lottery pest for the first
time in its history. This is one re-
deeming feature in a bill whose good
qualities are usually conspicuous by
their absence.

first Edition Exhausted.

The first edition of the bulletin
on chickens recently issued by the
experiment station has been ex-
hausted. The bulletin received ex-
tensive notice from the state press
and being on subject which inter
ests great many people the demand
for it soon became much larger than
was expected. The requests for the
bulletin began to pour in and were
complied with as rapidly as posi-
BILE. 1t was not sent to those on the
regular mailing list but sent only on
request. Ten thousand copies were
mailed to as many applicants and
that exhausted the first edition.
More than a thousand requests still
remain unanswered and they are
still coming in. A second edition
will be gotten out soon and an effort
made to supply everyone who may
wish a copy of this perhaps most
valuable bulletin ever issued by
this station.

New Business Uouse,


Col. S. A. Posten will as soon as it
can be arranged erect a business house
which will make another worthy adj
dition to the splendid buildings which
are now the pride of the town. 1t
will occupy his lot on the corner OF
Main and Walnut in the place of the
building now occupied as a restaur-
ant, meat shop and photograph gal
lery. The Colonel would start the
work at once but the tenants at pres
ent in the building ask too much for
their leases and he will wait until
April LIST when they expire, before
work is begun. The building will be
OF brick, three stories and basement.
The basement will be full story OF
stone and will contain in addition to
a ware room the grocery department.
The first floor will contain the store
proper and the second and third floors
will be used as dwelling house by
Col. Posten's family. He intends to
have the building first class In every
particular. When asked about it he
said he had been thinking about the

my life. | have spent several years
at it and see no prospect of ever
changing my occupation. This be-
ing the case want first class BUSH
ness house to carry on my business in
and intend to have it as soon as pos
sible." When asked whether or not
he expected the county court to inter-
fere by condemning the property, he
said: mo, they will not condemn it.
An eminent member Of the legal pro-
fession has just given it as his opinion
that the property cannot be taken. 1t
is not for sale at any price. / don't
want to sell it at all and will not put
any price whatever upon it," The old
buildings will be torn down and the
new one put on the lot. 1t is twenty

Where are you at, Levi!

The Journal has not gone into the
snake business with any intention of
being a rival of the firm of Henry
Murdoch and 81 Summers Of Shaggy
mountain and hope these gentlemen
will not feel aggrieved at our publish

Others in the snake line. However,
William Harmed Of near Valley Point,
killed rattlesnake few days ago as
thick as Billy's leg, five feet long, and
had twenty-five rattles and button.
Pretty big story but it's youched for.
One also killed at John Gamers saw

THE Preston County Journal has
these items in its last issue:
Mad dogs are running amuck in
Monongalia. The Morgantown pa
pers are feasting upon the variety of
news items that the mad dog creates
in his attempts to 'schaw" the legs off
the populace.
When Hon. George G. Sturgiss was
here last week he talked with Berlin,
Germany. He phoned to Morgantown,
from there to New York by long dis
lance telephone and by cable to Ber-
lin. This shows we are not SO badly
in the woods as some people think.
The New DOMINION of Morgantown
says this about our own Duke Dent:
n "Duke, the little pitcher, is
about the brightest star that ever
shone in Kingwood, and the people
there think great deal of him." To
tnat the journal adds that he is
bright enough to outshine a good
many meteors that flash through the
baseball sky, and if Morgantown has
home team that wants it's light put
out, come over and meet Our Own in
contest.
Miss Lynne Waddell of Brandon
vile passed the examination at Nor
gantown recently andis an applicant
for the position as teacher In the
high school there. She pronounced
the examination as being quite fair
and not at all rigid or difficult.
Since the above paragraph was
written the Journal has been inform
cd that Miss Waddell not only passed
the examination successfully, but
was chosen as assistant principal OF
the Morgantown High School. The
selection Is good one and Miss Wad.
dell is worthy and competent to iii
it. We extend congratulations. Pres.
ton county talent Is in demand and
always recognized.

Pursuant to call OF County Super
intendent Waters, the county school
book board met last Saturday to select
the text books to be used in the coun-
ty schools. Quite number of books
were already contracted for for vari-
gus periods Of time leaving but a
comparatively small number to be Sc
lected. After careful canvass of the
situation it was decided to contract
for the books already In use In the
county and to make no change what
ever. Some reduction in price was
secured making the books cheaper
than they at present sell for. The
books to be furnished are mainly the
wares of the American Book Compa-
ny. All the members Of the board
were present and the session was abso-
lutely free from the many objectional
features which marked the meeting
OF the boards ia various other parts
Of thr State. The members and the

Cheat Canon Club House.

The contract for the Cheat Canon
club house has been let to Huston &
Domain. This was done at the meet
ing OF the club held last week. Work is
to begin to-day and the successful
bidders are to finish the work within
thirty days from the time the con-
tract was let. Their bid was Che low
est submitted being $l,ls0. w. S.
Baker was the highest bidder, his fig
ures being 81 $50 while the Morgan
town Planning Mill company wanted
the job at 1925. The total cost Of
the club house and grounds is to be
but 81, $50. The land was certainly
bargain at $40 for five acres and many
business men are sorry that they did
not know it could be obtained for that
sum. One gentleman remarked that
he would have had it years ago il he
had thought it could have been OBJ
tanned so cheaply. The club house
will be ready for occupancy br the
FIRST of September and will thus af-
ford the opportunity to the members
spending the prettiest season of the
year in it. The shares are S25 each
but are now gilt edged and viii short
ly be above par. Nothing has ever
caught on like this plan and it is a
wonder IL was never thought of before.

Terra Alta Oracle.

Preston county railroads are re-
ceiving considerable mention in the
daily as well as the weekly press
these days. The proposed N ad up
Cheat from Point Marion to Rowles-
burg and thence to Parsons gives
fair promise of healthy materializa-
ton in the very near future. The
surveyors have been busily at work
down about Albrightsville during
the past few weeks and the route in
that section is all laid out and staked
off. The surveyors are now pushing
on up the river. This proposed road
has no connection whatever with the
Cheat Valley road that runs from
Rowlesburg TO point six miles
down the river. The new road will
be passenger and freight line and
when completed will open up untold
business enterprise for our sistcr
city Rowlesburg. Another that is
being prom inently spoken of is over
the old Skipnish route to Aurora.
This line would open up some valu-
able timber and coal lands and
would prove splendid feeder for
the B. & 0. Probably the most i'm
portant railroad move now on foot in
Preston county is the proposed ex-
tension of the West Virginia North
ern line from Kingwood to Morgan
town. The hustling yice-president
and general manager, Mr.. J. Ami
Martin, has secured the.right of way
over nearly all of the route, and the
prospects are that the extension will
be made in the very near future.
This is an enterprise devoutly to be
hoped for and one that merits the
hearty cooperation Of every citizen
of Preston county.

Ball Game Saturday.

Next Saturday the first match game
of base ball to be played here this sea-
son will take place on the South Nor
gantown diamond. On that date the
lads from the rattleshake and hnckel-
berry district of Preston county will
venture out of the red brush and en-
deavor to learn the great American
game as she is played. The Kingwood
club is composed of a husky lot of
youngsters who have been walloping
all similar aggregations which have
had the nerve to tackle them this
summer. Duke Dent and Pat Orr are
two of the nine stars which will ap-
pear They will no doubt put up an in
teresting argument. The local ball
tossers have practiced for some time
and should prove quite formidable op-
ponents. Harry hank is the mana
ger and has routed out all the availa-
BILE talent in this neck of the woods.
The game is very likely to prove a hot
one and large crowd will witness it.
1t will be called at 2 p. NJ. The line
up is not yet fixed upon but probably
will be as follows: Laughed, Level
len and Rogers of the University team
will be found in their regular positions
in the outtield, Blair as pitcher, But.
Ter Lewellen, catcher; Russell Hayes,
lst; Harry Fleming, I'd; George Reay
3rd and Will Hayes short.

Holt Gets a Recess Amendment.

President Mckinley was evidently
in earnest about the Grafton postoffice
matter for when the senate adjourned
after refusing to confirm the appoint
ment he again appointed John W..
Holt as postmaster to succeed Stephen
Poe. The rottenness of the scheme
to GUST Poe is sufficiently shown in
the refusal Of the Senate to con-
firm the appointment when first made
but the faithful like the landlord who
grossly overcharged 'needed the mon
ey' so Poe had to get out. Any one
who is conversant with the case at
taches no odium to Mr.. Poe at thus
being dismissed from his position be-
fore serving his term out. In fact it
has made him many friends and will
actually result in doing him good.

Line to Cheat Omen.

The Peoples Telephone Line over
Cheat is now open for business, hav-
ing been completed last week. For
some time the use Of line over that
way was very great, and the COM
pany, which is always alert to serve
the public, decided to build one and it
was at once done. There are five
phones on the line one Of which is at
Eastono The line ends at the Mont
Chateau hotel. Those who have had
occasion to use this line say that it is
second to none III the country. 1t is
bound to prove great convenience TO
business people who are spending the
heated term over Cheat and too add
very much to the pleasures OF the re-
sorts over there.
