was confined to several days III
the middle OF the week. Freezing
temperatures occurred OH the Ar
kansas Platte Divide, in the south
central section, and the San LUIS
valley, and light frosts over por-
tions of the western slope. The
rainfall was light over the south
central portion of the state, but in
excess OF the usual amount i'll 9th
er sections, where showers were
of daily occurrence, notably over
the northeastern quarter of the
state. Several heavy storms oc-
CURED along the Divide, that OF
the middle of the week being at
tended by snow in localities.
Although the past week has
been unseasonably cool, wheat,
oats and alfalfa have made good
growth and in most sections these
crops are reported looking unusu
ally promising. The weather,
however, has been too cold tor

bles. In the north central section
alfalfa is ready tor cutting as. soon
as the weatlier will permit. Po-

DR.. Raymond, Prof. Atkeson and
Director Stewart did not expect TO
leave for Wheeling to attend the
meeting of the State Geological
board until to-day but a telegram
from the Governor caused them to 60
yesterday evening. The time OF the
meeting was changed from 1880 p. NJ.
to 10 this>morning.
One of the things which the local
members will lay before the board
is the ACCESSIBILITY of making perma
nent headquarters in Morgantown
They will tender rooms in the
University, the services of any mem
Der of the faculty or station staff,
all the data that may now be in pos
session Of the University or station
and the use oi all instruments owned
by either institution
1t is believed that the offer will be
accepted as there is no reason why
it should not be.
The move which create the board
originated here. We have three of
the five members located here. The
data already available in possession
of the entomologist and others OF TIE
station staff would suffice to fill The
first report of the board and
slight expense. The professor Of civ
il engineering and his instruments
could establish the required magnet
ic meridian in every county.
For these and man, other reason S
it is believed that the offer will he
accepted. The meeting will adjourn
tonight and the local members are
expected home tomorrow.

BIDS ASKED FOR.
An Advertisement For Bids
On Locks and Dams.
Bids will BE Received Until Noon ON

Limit for Compile
lion Lowered.

The War Department seems to be
DESTROYS to make up for their de
lays on the construction of the locks
and dams between here and Fair
mont. 1t has been but a few days
since the specifications were returned
to the department, yet bids are al
ready advertised for. The Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago and New York
papers of yesterday contained ad
vertisements asking for bids on the
six locks and dams.
These bids will be opened at noon
on October 30, and the contract will
be awarded as soon as they can be
classified and the lowest bidder as
certained. But no matter how much
haste is now exercised the damage
has been done so far as this season is
concerned No work can be done this
year.
That may be remedied by the re-
duction in the time given for
the construction of the work. The
limit it is said, has been placed at
four years instead of six. If that be
the case, the work may be helped
rather than hindered by the delays
which have already taken place.

AN EXPERT KEORGANIZER.
Miss Skinner, Of Chicago, is Here to
Reorganize and Catalogue the Library
at the University Many Years Of
PreparatiOn-st the head OF her Pro-
fession-lmproveme 10 be made,
and new Bo0ks--Longer hours.

For years the condition of the IL
brary at the University has been a
shocking one. Nothing could be found
when wanted and the usefulness of it
was sadly impaired. The librarian
has been very anxious to have it sys-
tematically arranged and classified
and asked that some one be appointed
to do the work.
Five hundred dollars was according
ly appropriated to have the classtl-
cation made. An expert has been Sc
cured who is now here. She is Miss
Skinner of the Library School, Armour
Institute, Chicago.
Miss Skinner is an expert on Library
Science. She is a fine scholar, has
studied abroad for a number of years,
and is in in the front rank of her pro-
fession. She will reorganize and cat
alogue the library. This will be a
work of some months and will increase
the usefulness of the library many
hundred per cent.
Money has been appropriated to buy
large number OF new books and she
will have charge of this matter. I'M
provement is to be made all along the
line. 1t is the intention to keep the
library open longer than has hereto
fore heen the rule and thus give the
students more opportunities to take
advantage of it.
These plans will meet with the
hearty approval of all concerned.

The sensational arrest OF James z.
Protzman, OF Morris \ Roads, is still
exciting much comment about town
The arrest came as great surprise to
all who knew the young man. Here
tofore he had conducted himself in
every respect as model young man
and was universally respected aud Is
teemed. Since his boyhood he had
been an exceptionally steady and reli-
able fellow and regarded by all his ac-
quaintances as being everything that
a young tnan should be.
The announcement of his arrest on
such sensational charges at Pittshurg
almost dumbfounded his friends. No
one has been found hut who has the
best TO say for him possible and IL is
the earnest hope of all that he may
find some way to extricate himself
from his present embarrassment.
That the first reports were grossly
exaggerated is now known and IL Is
a matter OF congratulation to every
one. or course he has probably been
guilty OF what may be something
WOloC iiuioNiCbfOu uuU tut
one misstep should not condemn him
and 1t will not do so. The lesson will
no doubt prove most wholesome one
to him.
He has had II preliminary trial and
was committed to jail in default of
$500 bail to await the action of the
October court. He has refused to
send for his friends or to accept bail
proifered by his numerous Pittsburg
friends saying that he preferred to re-
main in jail and thus expiate in
some way his guilt.
Why he committed the rash act be
says he cannot understand. IL is
equally n mystery to every one VII >
knows him and knows his former life.
He hasn't an enemy in the world and
he himself has been the only ene
who has done himself an injury.

TANK BUILDERS AGAIN.

Yesterday a gentleman in business

its contents the tank builders who
went from here are evidently try
ing impose on the credulity of the un-
sophisticated natives in that section.
The story as told here appeared in
the Pittsburg papers three weeks ago
and the scene Of it was laid in Clarion
county. The story is vouched for by
hundreds of people down there and the
phenomenon is attracting people from
all over that section of Pennsylvania.
A letter from there was received by
one of the tank builders before his de-
parture for Midway, and it is presum-
ed that he concluded to palm it off as
one of his experiences while at Nor
gantown.
We can inform the Midway cnquir-
cr that nothing Of the kind has hap
pened here nor is it very likely to hap
pen. His letter is as follows:

FOR SIXTY YEARS.
A Deed Remains Unrecorded in
this County.

A fiece OF Land sold IN 1887 Passes
farough Three Generations Without
Any ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Reveals
the Fact--t Search brings to Light
the Old Deed-Recorded Yesterday
A Very Peculiar Case.
Yesterday deed was recorded in
the county clerks Office which has
most peculiar history. 1t was made
in the year 1887 and had never been
recorded. During that time three
generations had lived on the piece
of land whose transfer it concerned
and no one suspected that the land
had not been properly transferred.
In 1887 Jonathan Walker sold
piece of land situated on Indian
creek in Clay district to John Fetty
for three hundred dollars. 1t was
then that the deed was made. Why
John did not have it recorded is IA
matter that will never be ascertain
ed for he has been dead for mum
Der OF years.
At his demise the land by will be-
came the property of his son John
who in turn was gathered to his
fathers leaving the property to his
son Eliza who is now the owner.
The property had grown more and
more valuable as the years passed
and il now worth very much more
than the amount paid for it original
ly. 1t consists of 50 acres.
Jonathan Walker had not pros
pered during these years and at his
death which occurred but short
time ago he was possessed of such u
small store of earthly goods that he
died an inmate of an Ohio aims
house. He left several sons who for
some reason or other conceived the
idea that the piece Of land which had
been sold by their father had never
been propcrl, received by the Fet-
tvs aud that it should by rights be
theirs.
They came to the court house To
look up the transfer and failed to
find it. This frightened Eliza Fettv
who feared that he would lose the
land, so he instituted diligcnt search
for the deed Had it never been
found he could not have been de-
prived of the land as the right of
possession gained by the fight OF
years had long since made it irreyo-
cably the property of the Fettys.
However he looked for the deed as it
was firmly believed TO be in exis-
tence. Finally in an old chest stored
away il the attic it was fund.
The instrument was badly dis
colored by age and in places was worn
nearly out where the folds had come.
The writing was badly faded and in
places was undecipherable. Mr..
John Wiley had great difficulty in
making out the deed and had to alb
tain a microscope before it could be
read As soon as it could be decided
what it was the proper record of it
was made and for the first time in
sixty years the county clerks books
bear the record of this deed. 1t is
believed that this is the longest time
any deed ever made in the two Fir-
ginias has remained unrecorded.
