OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1t Is.

Constipation is failure of the
bowels to remove the sewage of the
system, which causes tie production
of poisonous gases that are absorbed
in the system. The Consequences of
constipation are numerous and in
clude biliousness, jaundice, indiges-
tion, loss of appetite, headache,
dizziness, depression, nervousness,
backache and many other troubles.
Constipation probably causes one
half the the sickness of the world.
The remedy for Constipation and
all its consequences is good cathar-
tic; and good cathartic does not
mean physic that will rack and
strain the system and leave the patti.
ent weak and exbaustged. That is
the kind of a cathartic "your grand
father used" A good cathartic is
found in Hoods Pills. They are
gentle in action and yet thoroughly
efficient and their effect is to strength
en- the system instead of leaving it
weak. They soothe and allay irrita-
tion of the stomach, liver and intes.
tines, and gently and thoroughly re.
move the cause of the trouble. Hoods
Pills are rapidly gaining in favor.
Business men and travellers carry
them in their vest pockets and ladies
take them in purses. They are con-
veniently put up in small glass vials;
thcy are easy to carry, easy to take
and easy in effect.

, SAW THE MINES

EXPERIENCE OF Three YEARS AGO.
1t Is His Opinion That a Wire
Rusted and Allowed a Mine to
Drift Unde the Maine-Sev-
eral Ways in Which it
Gould Have Happened

Newport News, Va, March 70
Special.-Captain Gronmeyer. mas
ter Of the German American steam
er Castillia, which arrived here to-
day from New Orleans to replen-
tish her bunkers before continue
ing her voyage to Hamburg with
a cargo Of cotton, confirms the
!, statement that the Havana harb.
-or is full of mines.
Captain Gronmeyer is a German
and served his time in the navy
Ofthat country. He has had ex-
perience in planting mines, and
talked intelligently on the subject
when seen by the Times correspon-
dent tonight. Said he:
STOPPED AT HAVANA.
"When / first heard that the
Main had been blown up it called
to my mind al experience / had
there three years ago. l was mas
ter of another sh lip then that made
frequent trips to Havana. L was
about to steam into harbor when
/ was signalled from Moro Castle
to drop anchor. a pilot came
aboard my vessel and told me that
marine engineers were planting
mines in the channell, ,and it would
be several hours before | could
pass in.
81 watched the work from the
deck. The mines were put down
in blocks and wires were run from
shore TO shore. Spectrums or
looking glasses were arranged so
that an officer ashore could tell
when a vessel was over a mine.
EXPLANATIONS.
"Spaniards are lazy people, and
it is my opinion that a wire rusted
and allowed a mine to be carried
: further into the harbor by a swift
undercurrent, or the wire may have
been cut by some designing per
son. This mine lodged under the
Maine. 1t might have exploded
in various ways.
''The harbor is shallow aud at
low water the bottom of the ship
may have struck it. But the fact
that this occurred at O'Clock at
r night makes this improbable.
Some one could have touched the
button ashore and blown up the
ship.
"At any rate, know there are
mines in the bottom of the Havana

A QUIET COMMENCEMENT.
No wholesale Removals to make things
Interesting-The Country Cousin
Missed the Brass Band.

This commencement was the most
quiet held for number of years.
The reason for this is said to be
found in the fact that for the first
time for long time there were to be
no wholesale removals of professors
from their positions. This condi-
ton of removing a number of people
always drew crowd of people here
some to work for the victim and 9th
ers to'make sure that he walked the
plank properly.
While the condition of affairs that
exists now is vastly preferable to
the old order of things as far as that
goes yet there is not half the fun
that there used to be in a board
meeting The absence of brass
band was keenly felt by the visitors
from the surrounding country who
are used to having that form of
amusement provided for them and
who missed it this time.

ANOTHER VICTORY.
The University Closes the Sea
son with a defeat for Fairmont.

This was the third game Of a series aud
the Boys played TO Win-3oth teams
put up Fine Ball-rhe best team won
and that is the secret of the Result
Rotten write up of the last tame
MOre misrepresentation may be con
fidentIy expected-Some Gilt Edged
Ball Playing-Miteheli's Home Run
screamer.
The last OF the series Of games be-
tween the University and Fairmont
resulted in victory for the Univer-
sity BY a score of Z to 5 The con
test was witnessed by large mum
Der of people the majority of which
did not pay for the privilege These
latter to a man rooted for Fairmont,
recognizing the fact that they were
also the cheapest of cheap skates
This was the third game of a ser
les in which each team had won one
game. The contest was for blood.
Every inch was fought stubborniy
and the spectators saw as pretty an
exhibition of ball playing as they
have seen Tor long time. Mlllers
catch was a hair raiser and the home
run by Mitchell when the bases
were full brought down the house.
1t came just when it was needed and
won the game.
Each Of the pitchers put up an ell
egant game and the support that
they received was first class. Few
errors were made on either side and
the game was won entirely on it's
merits.
However we shall expect another
lie to appear in the Expositor about
it. The write up of the last game
was peach. The conduct of the
students was stated to be simply
awful and the umpire was denounced
as a robber. There were a number
of decisions made in favor of Fair
mont that had the umpire not been
a resident of this town would have
caused riot but as he lived here
no one thought that he was favoring
the club. He roasted the home team
oftener than he did the visitors.
That has been his record all year
and every one thinks that he makes
the decisions that he does because
he thinks they are right and for no
other purpose.
But there was not even that rea-
son to allege for the defeat given the
Mountain city boys. They were
simply outplayed and the best play
ers won the game.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

The war revenue bill has
passed the house and has gone
to the Senate. 1t is thought
that the latter body will pass
it at once and the chances are
that it will go through to-day.
Senior Salmeron the leader
of the Republicans in Spain
says that his country is head
ing straight toward disaster
and that nothing can save
them if they persist in the
course which has been map
ped out for them.
The Spaniards at Santiago
assert that they will give the
world an example of sublime
selfisaerlt1ce and Sampson and
Schley will do the rest.
Twenty new war ships are
under construction and many
of them are far advanced to-
ward completion. However
they will hardly have a chance
to get into the present war
as it will be over before they
are done.
Several prominent coal
dealers of Philadelphia are
suspected of selling coal to the
Spaniards and secret service
officers are on their trail.
The rumored presence of
strange war ships on the north
coast of Cuba kicks up a
scare but they prove to be
vessels belonging to neutral
powers and not Spaniards as
at first thought.
Spain is talking of court
martiallino Ceryera for SAILING
into Santiago where he has
allowed himself to be trap
ped.
Manila is ready to fall and
the Governor of the island has
tried to commit suicide on &C
count of his desperate plight.
The terrible condition of
Spain has been told to the
queen and she is greatly
alarmed at the outlook.

SUSPEND JUDGMENT.
Rev Charles White Asks the
Public Not to Pass Judg-
ment on Him

Until NIL the Facts are KNOXVILLE viii
Reveal Them at the Proper Time.
The Present is not the Time nor the
Place is Not Here-0ther Facts and
circumstances Exist Which are not
Known aud Which Will put an En-
tirely Different Light on the Matter.
When these are known you can Judge.
Until then Withhold your Censure.
The First Statement that has Been
Made About the Affair and the Ex-
aet Language used by Him.
Rev. Charles White who was so
strangely connected with the death of
Miss Minnie Holmes, has given us u
statement for publication. He was
asked to do this in justice TO himself.
In all cases there are two sides to be
heard. We have heard but one side
and OF course the facts given on that
are not only distorted and made worse
than they really are, but they also
are not stated along with others
which might put an entirely different
phase on the matter.
The place TO try the case, however,
is not in the newspapers. 1t will
come up in the Presbytery, of which
Rev. A. NJ. Buchanan, OF this place,
is the moderator. The church will
ask that he be removed from his pas
toral duties at Clarksburg and he will
join them in this request. This will
be done irrespective of whether or not
he is guilty as charged. 1t will do no
good to continue him there even if
the result Of the investigation should
show him TO be entirely free from
blame.
Then he will ask the charges which
have been made of him through the
press to be Investigated. When this
is done and all the facts are known
in their true light then there will be
time to judge him and pass sentence
on him. Until then the benefit of
every doubt should be extended TO
him. This his friends are disposed
to do and they will await the decis-
ion of the church with great eager
ness. They want to believe him
guiltless and they will do so if pos
sible.
At first he was disposed to give us
the whole story Of the affair as he
alone knows it, but after due consider
alton he came to the conclusion that
it would dc no good and might result
in harm. That the proper time would
come to make defense and that
until then he had best remain silent.
The statement that he made is as
follows:
''As to the Pittsburg affair / would
say that ] know circumstances and
facts that will set the matter in
very different light than it now APP
pears. At the proper time all these
facts will be made known. Until
then | ask the public not to judge me
as the known circumstances now in
dictate"

TWO NICE AFFAIRS.
The Reception at the Universe
ty and the Dance at the
Wallace House.

Both of these are well attended
Affair Mt the University being simply
a Crush-Fhe Governor Board of Re
gents ami the Faculty with their
Wives receive the Guests Refresh
ments Seryed-Fhe Wallace House
Dance was a very nice affair-Why
There was no Commencement Ball.
There will be one next Year.
The people OF Morgantown, stu
dents and their friends were re-
ceived on Thursday vening in the
gymnasium at the University. One
thousand people were present at
various times during the evening.
The receiving line was formed short
" after eight o'clock and the visit
ors were received by the Governor,
the Board of Regents and members
OF the faculty and their wives.
After the reception the evening
was spent as usual at such functions
the tremendous heat preventing the
crowd from enjoying themselves as
much as they otherwise would have
done Refreshments were served by
several of the young lady students
OF the University up stairs in the
chapel.
The University orchestra furnish
ed the music for the occasion and
toward the close of the affair num-
Der of couples danced in the gym.
This was not on the program but it
was enjoyed all the same The fune-
ton was over about eleven o'clock
and the crowd dispersed.
At the same time a very enjoya-
bic dance was being given at the
Wallace House. The students had
been compelled to take this step be
cause the reception was scheduled
for the only night on which theCom-
mencemetiball could have been held.
They were denied room at the I'm
iversity and were forced to come
down town if they had anything at
all
They did so and the affair was
most successful There were fifty
couples in attendance and thew all
enjoyed themselves immensely. The
dance was arranged by students
Anderson, Drane and Mitchell and
they deserve credit for their work.
Mrs. Scrafford, Mrs. Harvey and
Mrs Grant received the guests. The
music was furnished by the Italian
orchestra, of Connellsville, which is
quite popular here. There were
twenty-five numbers and the dane
ing lasted from nine o'clock until
four the next morning The re-
freshments were served by the Wal
lace House and were very elegant
indeed as is usual with anything
served at this place. When the
dance broke up the guests all felt
that they had had as pleasant
time as they would have had at a
more elaborate affair such as is US
ually given at the close of the col
lege year.
However there will be a Com
mencement ball next year.

THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
Given to day but will appear in full
to morrow.

The present session of the board
of regents has been an uneventful
one although they have had many a
discussion and have transacted con
siderable work. They did not adj
journ in time for us to get their full
proceedings for this issue of the pa
per but we will have them in full to
morrow.
A few of the things that they have
done have come to light. Among
others they have removed Miss
Clara Hough alters years of patient
and efficient labor without cause
and put in her place Miss Skinner,
OF Chicago This action has created
a good deal of criticism. This ia
not in opposition to Miss Skinner
who is well equipped for the work
but it is thought to be injustice to
Miss Hough. Another thing they
did was to give four hundred dollars
to the athletic association for fixing
up the grounds back of the gym.
When this is expended the patriots
who are so contemplate as to stand
outside and cheer for the foreign
team will have TO find some other
way of beating into the games.

BREIDENTHAL DENIES A STORY.
Did Not Talk to Governor Leedy About
State ChairmanShiD.

Special to the Kansas City Times. q
Topeka, Kas., March 28.-John w. Breideu-
thai, exchairman of the Populst State COM
mlttee, denounces as false the statement recent
ly made to the effect that Governor Leedy
called on him to ask him to attend the State
convention and again accept the chairmanship.
81 never in all my political life heard such
a monumental lie," said Mr.. Breidenthal TO-
day. Governor Leedy never mentioned such
thing to me. 1t is true that the Governor
and had conversation on the day mentioned,
but not word was said about politics. If we
talked about anything but the threatened war
between the United States and Spain do not
know it, and l am sure have not lost my head
entirely. 1t is very wrong that such bare-faced
lies can be told with impunity. Ne man is
safe, want my friends in Kansas to know that
there is no truth whatever in the story"

In looking about for living examples to IL
lrstrate these extremes, he accepts Hindustan
as the ultima thule of Imperialism, with all its
ignorance, blind bigotry, want of energy and
lack of progress. Then he searches among
other civilizations for the highest degree of
democracy, of intelligence, freedom of thought
and disregard for the mummeres and traditions
of the past; and after looking over all the peo-
pies in the civilized world he selects Kansas.
For the lowest he takes Hindustan-for the
highest, Kansas. These are his antipodes i'll
the world of civilization.
And he is right. In no nation, no state, no
community is there greater degree of pure
democracy than in Kansas. Kansans are the
iconoclasts of this age. They do not he itate to
break the idols of the past; to tear down the
political temples of antiquity and send to the
junk piles the idols of political bossism The
Kansan Investigates for himself He reads
much from the literature OF the past and the
present, and he thinks more. He places his
estimate OH a theory only when he has seen it
tried. He is no hero worshiper. He pays due
reverence to the great men of the past, but he
never admits that any of them are nialliabe.
He sco-ns the tinseled hummery of imperialism,
ana denies the right of any man to govern ex-
cept by consent of the governed. He weighs
the prince and peasant upon the same scales
He measures the earl and the tramp by the
same tape line; the duke and the yeoman by
the same standard. He lifts his hat to no title
bows his head to potentate. He holds him
self the equal of every ether man, until the
other has demonstrated his superioritp. He is
patriotic TO his country as against any other ma
ton on earth; and we'll may Ridpath, out of all
mankind, select the Kansan as the highest type
of democratic independence and civilized intel
ligence. Bee.
