1.-THE leaHess branches swaying,
In sorrow seemed to say;
A soul In youthful splendor
Has sought eternal day;
A soul too good to llnger
On earthly paths Of sln
Too pure for haunts Of men,
These thoughts harmonic with the
life Of Richard Cormack who died Of
TYPHOID fever at the home Of his par
ents near Sunnyside, Oct. 20, 1898,
where he had spent his short life Of
twenty-five years, always happy to
assist in the work on the farm and to
beautify the home.
Desiring an education he entered
the county high school two years ago
at Chapman. His teachers spoke
many words Of praise emphasizing
his truthfulness and conscientious
ness, ying also they never had &C.
casion to correct his department. He
was n sincere, earnest student and a
reader, taking great interest in
whatever was educational.
His parents say of him, "Rchie
never gave us Il moments uneasi-
ness" All who knew him admired
his quiet unassuming ways. One
said: 81 am stronger for the right
from having known HIM intimately"
"0n the Jasper threshold standing,
Like pilgrim safely landing
See the strange, bright scene expanding;
Ah tits heaven At last"

ANOTHER SOLDIER.
A Monongalia Boy with the
Eighteenth Regiment.

The Regiment has had hard time OF
it--They hare hard service Orders
have been Issued for them to go to
Porto Rico where they will be for two
Years--All want to go--W. r. Conner
OF this County who is a member OF the
Organization visits his Father near
Easton--0ne Of many in outside Reg
imeDts--Ail have made good Records.
W. Z. Conner of the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania has been in the coun-
ty for few days on furlough visit
ing his father Aaron Conner who
lives near Easton. Conner Is "a
bugler and went into the Fourteenth
when it was raised in Pittsburg
where he was employed at the time.
The regiment is now stationed at
Fort Meade.
This regiment has had one Of the
hardest times of any in the service
who were not sent out of the coun-
try. 1t made the long march through
the storms and mud through Thor
oughfare Gap in Virginia. The men
have had very tough time. They
have had the same experience that
many of the others have had.
Conner was told that he looked
all right as if he had no hardships
to suffer He answered that for
man who had weighed one hundred
and eighty pounds when he went
in he felt as it he showed some signs
of what he had been through. In
fact he was reduced great deal.
When asked about how this had
occurred he stated that the commits
sary department officials had not
understood their business properly
and that the men had not been
fed as they should have been.
The regiment is under orders to
move to Porto Rico and they will be
employed in garrison duty there for
two years. The majority of the reg
iment want TO 90 and the orders
have been hailed with delight. They
in company with all the rest of the
volunteers do not feel like going to
Cuba which they regard as hot
bed OF disease and they would not
go entire If the orders came for them
to go there.
Conner is one of the many young
men from this county who has
joined some of the regiments from
other states and for whose services
the county will not get the full cred
it she would have obtained If there
had been company raised here.
However they have in every case
conducted themselves with great
credit and have reflected as much
credit on the county as did their
fathers and grandfathers before
them.

Trenchard with Duquesne this Year.

The Pittsburg Leader says: A
rumor was abroad among football
enthusiasts this morning to the eff
feet that ''Doggie" Trenchard had
been secured by the management of
the d. C. & A. c. team, and would
play at end on the team that will de-
fend the red and blacks gridiron
reputation this fall. 1t was stated
that letter had been received from
Mr.. Trenchard to a friend in which
he had stated that he had agreed to
play with d. G.. IL A. c., and would
report for duty in few days. For
some time it has been known that
the management of the D. G. q A. c.
team was latter" some of the best
players in the country to play on
the team this fall, but as nothing was
decided it was thought best to keep
the matter very quiet. The mana
ger of the team refuses to discuss
the situation and smilingly says that
he will have a good team and that
he will be anxious for the public to
know all about it when the proper
time comes, but at present he has
nothing to say.

The Wilmington Handle comps
ny, of Huntington, Indiana, is said
to be looking for location for a
handle factory using million and
a half feet of second growth ash a
year giving employment to fifty men
and paying out fifty thousand dol
lars a year for timber ana labor
They desire a place with good ship
ping facilities.
The above item is noticed in an
exchange and of course if it is true
the statement is full of interest te
Morgantown. We want all the fac
tories that we can get and it will be
good idea to write these people and
find out what they have and what
they want to come here. We have
very good shipping facilities and
they will be better as time goes on
The town has built up more and
advanced farther in industrial pros
perity since we began to get facto-
ries in here than it has for the past
hundred years before that part OF
our interests were looked after
properly. The business men of the
town have felt the stimulus and they
have prospered as they formerly be-
lieyed to be impossible for them to
get along.
They will no doubt make all neces-
sary arrangements with the compa-
ny to get them here if they do not
make too exorbitant demands. At
any rate it is certainly worth the
while of some Of them to drop line
to the company and ask how things
stand
The town needs more factories and
the only way to get them is to keep
sharp lookout for similar chances
and improve them to the best Of our
ability. Other towns around here
are noticing the tendency on our
part to get all the good things afoat
and they will soon enter the lists
against us so that it will not be
amiss to use considerable CELEBRITY in
communicating with these people.
The advantages of having such
an institution here and the conse-
quent growth which will be exper-
fenced by the town are too plainly
to be seen to need any mention. We
hope that something may come OF
the scheme

University, class of '9s, has accepted
the assistant principalship of the RAJ
venswood schools.
y. K. Yost, a graduate of the West
Virginia University, has been nomi-
mated for county judge OF Pontiac

President Raymond In the midst of
his arduous duties at the University,
found time TO visit number of the

very highly appreciated by the teach
ers.
A Lee Post taught a successful
summer term OF school at Hall, Bar

the fellowship ia chemistry at the
University, where he will spend the
coming year in study and teaching.
Upon the recent death of Governor
Briggs, OF North Dakota, Lieutenant
Governor J. M. Devine succeeded to
the Governors chair. Governor De-
vine is native West Virginian, born
in Wheeling, and was educated at the
West Virginia University.
We regret exceedingly TO note the
unfriendly spirit manifested by many
OF the newspapers of the State toward
our chief educational institution We
do not pretend to say whether the
criticisms that have been made about
utterances of certain instructor con-
nected with the University during the
summer session are just or unjust.
Very pointed charges and very en-
phatic denials have alike appeared in
the various newspapers of the State
and we do not feel that it is our duty
or our province to discuss either side.
We do say, however, that the State
should rally to the support of the
State University and should do every
thing possible to build upa great in
stitution of which we may all be
proud. Those in authority may have
made mistakes; we do not pretend to
say. But let only those who have not
made mistakes, find fault.
The editors of the School Journal
have felt free to criticise In some re-
spects the management OF the Uni
versity and il at the present time
there were anything that demanded
criticism or if the school could be
made better and stronger by caustic
remarks they would still feel perfect
ly free to let their opinion be heard.
But they do not believe that the Un-
iversity can be benefited one iota by
soothing or jeering. II 1t Is to become
great it will be only by the united
support OF the whole people.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The president

being to review the situation and learn
exactly what present conditions are,
what changes, IL any, should be made

statement later in the day, when after
conference with the members of the
war board, Secretary Long announced
to the waiting newspaper men that
he had ordered Adm. Sampson
to detach from his own command
immediately the vessels to be en-
braced in Commodore Watson's East
ern squadron and to direct the
commodore TO proceed on his mission.
The vessels of the squadron will not
be the same as those originally select
ed, for the reason, probably, that the
recent engagement with Cervera's
squadron necessitated some changes.
