KEENER INDICTED.
Grand jury finds a true bill a.
gainst him for false pretence.

!
Indictment returned on the evidence of
W.E.Nafson who lost more than three
thousand dollars in ideal with the
missing man.-Other indictments

Few interesting cases up. Recess
taken to go to dinner last night.
Case of Cliffordfset for trial.
Major Keener has been indicted for
obtaining money under false pretences
and the only thing that is lacking now
to start trial on a felony charge is to
get the Major into court. This seems
to be the hardest thing to do and
probably it will not be done although
those who have charged of the interests
of the victims who were caught by the
gentle wiles of the genial military man
say that they are sure OF catching him
and bringing him TO justice.
The indictment was found ON the
testimony of w. e. Watson before the
grand jury. Keener bought more
than seven thousand dollars worth OF
cattle from Watson and gave him his

this. 1t was in this transaction that
the false pretence is alleged TO exist
and the grand jury must have thought
that there was something very suspic-
ious about the case.
Another Indictment was also found
against Keener on the same charge
Others are to be found and can be II
necessary.
Court took a recess on Friday after
noon and the Judge together with
Messrs. Lazelle and Stewart, Cox and
Baker and Col. Il. Il. Fast OF the local
bar went over Cheat where they were
entertained last night at a six o'clock
dinner given in honor of a distin-
guished member Of the Allegheny bar

sion was very pleasant one and those
who were there enjoyed it to the full

The session of court yesterday as be-
fore was not at all interesting to lay
men. Motions ia cases which were
not contested were about All that were

One case that will attract some at
tention came up and Fuller Glasscock
and Charles Goodwin were appointed
as counsel in the case. They are'to

with other mems clothing and horses.
The case was set for trial on Tues
day. The Dublic no doubt will be
there in full force to hear it.

A FOOTBALL TREAT
In Store for Charleston Lovers
of the Game.
University Of Virginia and University
of West Virginia will Play here Nov.
Something of the Teams-Vir-
ginia's other Big Games.
Charleston Gazette.


Charleston lovers of the great col
lege game have in store for them a
great football treat. Arrangements

A game of football between these
two leading universities Of the two
Virginias has for several years been
fond desire of their respective fol-
lowers. Two years ago ARRANGE
ments for game between them here
had about been consummated, when
hitch interfered, and it was de-
crared off. Last year, so far as
known, no effort was made to ar
lange another, and instead Wash
ington and Lee played the West
Virginia boys. This year, however,
negotiations were renewed in earnest
and the game now appears in the
football schedules of the two univer-
stiles.
The University of Virginia team
is this year composed Of number
of good players, who give promise of
making a good record for the orange
and blue. 1t is captained by Har
ris T. Collier, who was one of the
leading players in the crack North
Carolina univ ersity team of '96, and
its chief coach is J. A. Massie, "a
player of wide reputation
The West Virginia team is just
being organized. If it becomes the
same sort of a team that played
Washington and Lee here last year
it will give the Virginia boys hard
struggle.
Other big games included in the
University of Virginia schedule are
these: Washington and Lee at

A GAIN OF THIRTY.
Will Give Democrats Control
of the House.
This Number Will be Gained and Many
M0re-Large Gains in Iowa and
Kentucky Republicans Are Scared
And Democrats are Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-Nothing
could be more encouraging for Dem
ocrats in the congressional campaign
than the fact that Republicans ac-
knowledge their fear of losing four
out Of the eleven Iowa districts, now
all represented by Republicans. A
gain OF thirty seats is all that is need
ed by the Democrats to put the Re-
publicans in the minority in the next
house, and the prospects of getting
them, and many more, is very bright
at this time.
Ex-senator Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, now in Washington, said:
1.-THE political outlook in Kentucky
is as satisfactory as Democrats could
wish. OF the eleven congressional
districts they will carry nine certain
ly, and of the remaining two there is
more than an even chance of carrying
one-the Louisville district. 1t seems
to me that there is every reason to
regard the condition of the Demo-
crazy, and / believe that the gains
made by the party in November, will

Col Phil Thompson, once a mem.
Der of the House from Kentucky, who
spends much of his time in New
York, has been telling his Washington
friends about the campaign. He said;
II believe that Judge Van Wyck will
beat Col. Roosevelt for governor
by heavy majority. There is an
element in the Republican party that
doesn't like Roosevelt and will secret
ly rejoice in his downfall. He is cor
daily hated by the saloon keepers and
their friends for his course while po-
lice commissioner, and they will work
like beavers to roll up the ballots fol
his opponent. Then, too, Judge Van
Wyck is an amiable andsupright man,
with no blemish on his record, and
conservative people think he will
make far better executive than the
brilliant, but rather impracticable
rough rider. The strongest card, how
ever, for the Democrats is the bad re-
cord of the Republican state admins
tration. The tax payers are up in
arms over the canal improvement
fraud, and when they come to vote
they are going to take sure way OF
manifesting their displeasure with
Governor Blacks regime"

THE ELKINS' PRIZES.
Senator Elkins' Gives the Uni
versity Two Handsome
Prizes.

1
They Are offered in the Department OF
Greek are $50 aud $40 for the Best
and Second Best trades Other Uni
versity Notes.-The Enrolment is now
617 aud VIII Reach Nearly 300 this
Year.
Two prizes, the first of $4,000 and
the second of $4,000 are offered by
Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, United
States Senator from West Virginia,
respectively to the student who
makes the highest average grade in
the first college years work in
Greek, and to the one who makes
the next highest grade in the same
work The conditions on which the
awards will be made are as follows:
l. No student will be eligible to
these prizes who has not been in the
Greek class during the entire three
quarters of the year Fall, Winter
and Spring..
2. In making the awards equal
consideration will be given to the
daily class work and to the exami-
nations of the entire year.
3. The awards will be made By u
committee consisting of the Presi-
dent Of the University, the PROBES
sor of Greek, and the Fellow in
| Greek.
4. The awards will be announced
at Commencement.
There are 90 members of the
Freshman class in Greek, to whom
these prizes are open. In beginning
Greek there are 46 members, in
Sophomore Greek and in Senior
Greek total Sc in all classes, but
only the 20 members of the Fresh
man Greek class are eligible to the
Elkins' prizes. These valuable
prizes will doubtless be great slim
illus not only to the members of the
present Freshman class but to those
who will be in the Freshman Greek
next year
A faculty class in physical train
ing is being organized. Quite a
number of members of the faculty
will enter it,
The enrolment is now GIT. At
the end Of the second week last Fall
the enrolment was 3S6. During
the year 25S more students entered,
making an enrolment for last year
of 644. If 25S more enter this year
the enrolment will reach S75. This
is a very conservative estimate as
there will doubtless be more stu
dents in this year for the Winter
and Spring Quarters than last year.
Under the present organization Of
the University, beginning classes
are formed at the opening of every
quarter SO that student can enter
at the beginning Of one Quarter as
well as another This arrangement
will be greatly to the advantage of
those who want to enter at the be
ginning of the Winter or Spring
term
President Raymond will attend
the meeting of the Association of
Colleges and Preparatory Schools of
the Southern States at Athens, Ga,
Nov. l-3, and read paper On the
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Continuous Sessions of Colleges and
Universities. Others who will par
ticipate are President Gilman, of
Johns Hopkins; President Kirkland,
of Vanderbilt; and President Wilson,
of Washington d Lee.

BACK TO CAMP.
Dwight Miller has started after
visit home on sick leave.

Regiment is in good shape for its south
erntrip- They will 20 to Cuba soon
Men are well satisfied with their lot
and will go willingly-Some of them
are kicking through force of Habit.
Officers are very Popular especially
Col. Casteel and Captain Stamford.
Dwight Miller has returned to
Fairmont after visiting friends here
for several days. He has furlohgh
until the thirtieth of the month but
will rejoin his regiment before it Is
out. He wants to go south with the
rest of the men when they move.
The orders have been issued for
them to get in readiness for the
move and they will soon take the
road
The regiment will be sent to Cuba
as will the first regiment. The i'm
munes from this state have also
been sent to Cuba. This is the on
w state in the Union all of whose
troops were retained in the service
This speaks in the highest terms of
the impression that the authorities
have of the men but,.it is not any
more cheering to the men who have
interests at home which demand
their attention.
Miller is chief trumpeter in the
regiment and has enjoyed the expe-
rience, with the exception Of the
fever, immensely He says that all
the boys from this section are get
ting along we'll and that the men
have no complaints to make of the
treatment that has been accorded to
them.
Captain Standiford is a very pop
ular officer and very efficient one.
The men think a great deal of him
and this was shown ty their pre-
senting a sword TO him some time
ago as a token of the regard in
which he was held by the men I'M
der him. The other officers are
well liked and the regiment is pecu
liarly fortunate in this respect. One
of the most popular officers in the
organization is Col. Casteel of this
place.
Miller thought that the men
would prefer to go to some other
place than Cuba, as they are very
much opposed going there but they
are ready to do what they are told
as good soldiers should. Some of
the men are dissatisfied and are
growing but that is thing that is
done to great extent by the enlist
ed men who do not mean anything
by it and who would be greatly sur
prised if any Importance was at
tached to the kicks which they are
making.
The exact date for the departure
of the regiment south has not been
fixed but it will not be very long I'M
til they go.
