THE income from fines under the
administration of Mayor Keck is
much larger than under any mayor
Morgantown ever had. 1t amounts
to several hundred dollars. In one
previous year there was less than
twenty dollars taken in.
IT is rumored that citizens mass
meeting is to be called in few DAYS
to name ticket and adopt a plat
form to be voted on at our munich
pal election next month. Those be-
hind the plan have not yet made
their identity known although the
scheme is endorsed by great many
people.
MoRGANTowN has been pretty free
from petty thieving but last night
Messrs. Hirschman and Somehow
suffered from one. The contents of
an ice box setting on the porch were
carried of. The thief was scared
away before he recovered all the
booty. Housekeepers would do well
to watch for him.
BENTLEY HENDERsHoTT who went
off with Boone the hypnotist has
been summarily called home by his
father and is now in Parkersburg.
He has apparently learned nothing
by his experience and says that he
intends going back on the road as
soon as he can get chance. Among
the places where he was put to sleep
was Fairmont. There he was put in
Yeager's window for few hours.
The meanest sneak thief on rec
ord has been discovered. He went
into the Baptist church last night
and stole the Wellsbach burners
which had been placed in there in
order that the men doing the fresco-
ing might be able to work after
night. The burners were put in yes
terday and they were stolen last
night No clue to the thief has been
found. This is the second case of
thievery which has happened in
town recently.
The young ladies of the Baptist
church are busy preparing for the
Bazaar which they are to hold on
the 10th of this month. The occa-
sion bids fair to prove very sue
cessful one and every one is glad of
that fact. The Baptists have had
an uphill fight for their church and
have accomplished what would have
been deemed impossible before the
attempt was made.
The Grafton correspondent of the
Wheeling Register says that the
Hart Comedy Company showed to a
crowded house at that place. The
Index says that it was a good show
and that it had big houses both
nights it showed there. The gener-
al verdict here was that it was about
the rottenest aggregation that ever
appeared. The up river towns must
have peculiar notions of what con
stitutes good show.
PROF. THos. E. HODGES, who has
temporary charge of the cadet corps,
has designated Cadet Captain c. E.
Mccoy to act as commandment until
Captain Ayers reports for duty. Cap
tain Ayers is expected in few days
and will at once enter on the dis
charge of his duties. Every one
speaks in the highest terms of him
and he is assured of warm welcome
when he arrives here. The national
guard officers, who were associated
with him at Charleston during the
cobro1 af incarnation xyara worry yr.,rol,
