IT is claimed that the bicycle is
running the horse business. Well,
that may be so. No doubt the smooth
gliding, noiseless machine renders the
need of the horse less urgent But
while it initiates agains', the horse, it
can be truthfully said that the wheel
develops some very fine specimens of
calves. The style of wheel costume
aids much in showing them off to good
advantage, too.
HICKS predicts the following
weather for the remainder of June.
Showery threatening weather and
more rain and electrical display from
the 14th to the 25th. Very warm
during the closing days of the month.
Summed up, much rain and danger
Gus storms are to be expected in June.
He thinks we will have a very warm
summer, extending through Septem-
Der, and that conditions are favorable
for long heated term, hotter, in fact,
than last year.
THE Methodist Protestant church
at Brownsville recently got up kind
of lottery scheme which has resulted
in serious complications. Two young
ladies entered contest the winner of
which was to receive bicycle. If a
a certain aggregate amount of money
was raised each was to receive wheel.
The requisite amount was collected.
Only one wheel was given out. The
other contestant has sued the church
for her wheel. This may prove a
warning to avoid such schemes to raise
the wind.
SHERIFF Garrison will leave today
or tomorrow for Moundsville with the
two prisoners in the jail, who have
been sentenced to the pen. These are
James Giles and William Walls. Each
goes up for two years. 1t is extremely
likely that Walls will not serve out
his full term, as strong pressure will
be brought to bear for his pardon. He
is a harmless, half-witted fellow, who
committed the crime for which he was
sentenced without realizing what he
was doing. He unhitched horse and
rode it to Fairmont. He was not a
willful horsethief. A great deal of
pity has been expressed for him and
petition for his pardon will be present.

A PlTTsBURe politician sought to
celebrate his victory in county

treat to his supporters. He bought
800 meal tickets, (worth $1.00 each J

unfeeling wretch stole the meal tick

The Democrats of Virginia this
year will make their canvass on the
silver issue, as the Democrats will
everywhere. The Virginia election
is for governor and United States
senator, to succeed Senator Daniel.
one of the ablest Of the silver sena-

leading candidates for the guberna-

silver men. The gold Democrats are
not aggressive, and the secretary of
their organization announces that
they will have no state ticket.

sEcrAR1As HALLS AT THE usrvEnsrr,

SECTARlAN HALLS AT THE UNIVERSITY
We notice that the Presbyterians
are following the lead Of the Episco-
palians under Bishop Peterkin, and
are about to establish a Presbyterian
hall at the state university. Proba-
tbiiy the other denominations in the
state will follow in the same track,
and we shall have all the leading de-
nominations OF the state represented
at the university in that way We
confess there are some advantages
which will probably accrue to students
from such an arrangement, but there
are also some dangers which should be
carefully guarded against.
This is not time for magnifying
and accenting, but rather for over
looking and diminishing denomina-
tional differences in connection with
an institution which cannot properly
have any sectarian or denominational
bias. We hope there will be no deyel-
opment of sectarian feeling among the
students as result of this movement,
but we fear there may be danger in
it.-Mountain Echo.

The West Virginia University is an
institution in which the whole state
is taking deep interest That it is
a magnificent school no one can deny,
and our people can justly watch its
course onward and upward with pride.
Two years ago it was placed in control
of non-partisan board and since then
its growth has, to say the least, been
phenomenal For many years 200 stu
dents would have been regarded as a
large attendance. During the present
year the enrolment reached almost
500. Never before in the whole his
tory of the state was there such

Just at present West Virginia is in
the meshes, so to speak, of the sweet
girl graduate and her manly and hope
full associate. 1t is a pleasant thing
to reflect that the schools of the state
are certainly far more largely attend
ed, and are probably doing better
work than ever heretofore. There is
no question that the state university
occupies a higher and safer position
than it did a few years ago, and the
normal schools appear to have kept
pace with the university. All of them
report largely increased attendances
during the past year. The legislatures
of the state have been liberal to a
fault in appropriations for both the
university and the normal schools,
and results seem to indicate that the
money is being well spent. Wheeling

past year. Mr.. Nelson was the repre-

Society in the inter-society contest on
essays, and had for his opponent
young Mr.. Ice, son of Judge Ice, who
represented the Parthenon Society.
The judges marked on four points, a
basis Of ten each, making a total of
forty. 1t was announced after the
contest that Mr.. Ice had won by one
sixth of one per cent, but it was after
ward ascertained that in footing up
the figures there was an error in the
calculation, and that, as a matter of
fact, Mr.. Nelson had won by the same
fraction. The board of regents have
promised to have the matter correct
