There were several smaller slides be-

started. About O'Clock in the morn

buried several cabins. The alarm was
spread and many people were endeav-

snowstorm was binding, and the
crowds were coming down by the aid

The Athletic Association

A very large turn out of stu
dents considered the matter of an
athletic association at chapel hall
recently. The meeting was called
to order by Prof. Hodges who stated
the reason for the meeting and
called W. j. Bruner to the chair.
Mr.. Bruner said that he had long
wanted to see permanent athletic
association formed here and an en-
closed athletic park made where the
various college games could be held.
He said that from the outlook it was
probable that both these things
would be seen before next June il
the proper effort was made. After
some discussion and an expression OF
opinion a committee was appointed
to have the organization chartered
and to report to the next meeting
which will be held on next Tuesday
night A charter will be obtained
fom the county court and the or
ganization put on the proper basis
The boys have the advice of Hon
Geo. c. Sturgiss in the legal part Of
the proceedings.
The thing seems to be taking well
among the students and there is nc
reason why it shouldn't. The need
for the kind of an organization that
is being formed had been pressing
one and all friends of athletics will
rejoice to see it so nearly provided
for. The faculty will give the move
ment all the support that lies in
their power There is nothing be-
fore the association but success.

The NEW DOMINION seems to
think that those of our citizens who
wanted to form new county will
vote soil llv against the bond issue.
The DOMINION is mistaken.
The . ,lemen who were interest

are intelligent citizens and know
how to take care of their own inter
ests. They know that their failure
was no fault of their own for they
could not overcome the constitu-
tional objections and they will not
be controlled by any prejudice when
they vote on the bond issue. Some
of the most earnest advocates of the
bonds were the most active in the
attempt to form a new county.

Mr.. Dayton Agaie.
Fairmont West virginian.

Our Congressman, Mr.. Dayton, has
done what we have known all along
he would do, but what we did not
expect him to do so soon. He has
announced himself las a candidate
for third term in Congress, or au-
thorized the Washington cores
pendent of the Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger to say so. OF course, Mr.. Day
ton knows, and our rea>'ers know,
that we are opposed to him We are
glad, however, that he has declared
his intention so early. 1t certainly
gives the other aspirauts the advan-
tage.
AS we have said before, the states.
man from Barbour will not, in our
opinion, succeed himself, and we are
good enough friend of his to tell
him or his lieutenants why he can
not do so. We have no idea that he
can be renominated, but if he should
be, we want to assure him now that
while we are opposed to him, as are
several hundred other Repub-
-licans of whom we know, yet we
will give him the same cordial sup
port we have in the past. This is
the kind of Republican we are,
Mr.. Dayton-a more loyal one than
we believe you to be. 1t would, we
think, be difficult for you to con-
vince any one that you voted for
George Harmon in 1890 after he de
feated you for the Congressional
nomination at Piedmont.

DR.. w. M. Longstieth, who at the
last session of the West Virginia Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church which was held here was de-
signated to sell stock in a sanitarium
proposed to be built by the conference

let within week or two. 1t will be
placed upon what is considered by
travellers the most beautiful point of
view in the state.s The spot over
looks the Elk river and is 1880 feet
above the sea level. The building
will be of native stone and white
pressed brick, four stories high, and
will contain 1s0 guest chambers.
The building throughout will be
heated by the hot-water system,
lighted with electricity, furnished
with hot and cold water, electric call
bells, elevators, long distance tele-
graph and supplied with all the con-
veniences known to modern comfort.
An electric road will be built from

GREAT GAME PRESERVE.
Meeting Of the Cheat River, w. Va,
Association-0fficer Elected.

AT the Hotel Duquesne last night
many of the stock holders of the
Cheat River Association met and ell
ected officers for the ensuing year.
The ticket presented and the one
which went through with out oppos-
tion was as follows: President, w.
NJ. Kennedy; vice presidents, U.
Baird, w. S. Edwards, Nathaniel
Ewing. w. G. Brown and Hon. S. B..

treasurer, Theodore Sproull; Datura-
list and surgeon, DIR. w. J. Riggs:
board of directors, G. G. Seattle,
George Shiras. II. p Pears. J. NJ.
Bell and NJ. G. Miller.
The association has 200 members
and only elects members when any of
the band dies. No one can get in
any other way. There are many APP
plicants for membership, but, like
thirty-third degree Masons, they must
wait for the hand Of death to make
a place for them.
The game preserve in Randolph
and Pocahontas counties, West Vir-
ginia, includes &c, 600 acres of the
best game land Ia the state. No
families live on the preserve besides
that Of the game warden, or superin-
tendent of the preserve. Mr.. c. N.
Kellar. the superintendent, was pres
ent at the meeting last night and
made his annual report to the mem
bers present. Six ponds have recent
ly been built for the propagation of
fish. In these ponds $50, 900 eggs of
the eyed trout species have been
placed and their propagation is part
Of the work of the warden.
The lease of the preserve extend S
for forty years yet, the original lease
of this territory being for fifty years.
Mr.. Sproull said that all kinds of game
except quail were to be had in this
reserve, and Mr.. Hazard, of Ale
gheny, said that man had to go well
armed there or he would be eaten by
the bears that insisted on haunting
the preserve. The latest attempt In
the line of stocking with game is the
placing in the preserve of English
and Monaghan pheasants. These

The game laws of West Virginia
are studiously observed 1t is hard

gentlemen owning this preserve that
this be Sc, but they wish to set a
good example, and although their
preserve abounds with deer, they
will not shoot any for the full five
years prescribed by the law of the
state.

LOOKING INDIAN.
How the Small Boy recovered Lost
stickpin.

Somebody dropped stickpin in
the hall the other day and had hard
work to find it. She hunted high
and low, and on her hands and knees
and with candle specially procured
for the purpose, but it was no use;
the pin was very tiny and unperceiv-
able, its value being that of associa-
ton, rather than size or brilliancy.
The somebody, a final shake of the
rugs, was just about to give it up for
ever, when one of the children chanc-
ed to come along. "Why don't you
look Indian for it?" he asked. Be
fore the somebody realized what was
meant, down dropped the youngster
on the floor, his head and his whole
body lying sidewise and just as close
TO the dead level as possible. In
this position his eyes moved rapidly
over the floor. ~ have it," he
shouted presently, and sure enough,
right in the middle of the floor, in so
plain place that it had escaped no.
tice, was the missing stickpin. The
youngster then explained that 'slook-
ing Indian" meant putting the head
to the ground in order to catch sight
of the smallest object between one
self and the horizon. They do it
on the plains all the time" he said.
"That's why they can always tell
who's coming. But it works in
houses just as well as on the plains.
Why, we never lose anything in the
nursery nOwadayS--we lust slook
Indian and find it right off,"

Just bit of real sunshine and
pleasure dropped into our Office this
morning. A thing of beauty is Vick's
Garden and Floral Guide, with its
cover of delicate tints, blue, pink and
gold. and the Golden Day lily and
Daybreak Aster embossed in bold re-
lief.
The many half tone illustrations
are as life like as possible to make by
photography. One can almost smell
the fragrance from the flowers and
the radishes and asparagus in glass
dishes look very tempting. No doubt
but this catalonge is the best one
sent out by James Vicks Sons, Of
Rochester, N. Y, during the forty
nine years they have been in business,
and next year will be their golden

A constitutional amendment is
now before congress to change in
auguration day from March fourth
to April thirtieth. There is no rea-
son in the world why it should not
be adopted and every reason why it
should pass. 1t will require the
adoption by congress and by the
legislatures of two-thirds of the
states. 1t has been claimed that
our machinery for amending the
constitution is too cumbrous and
should be changed and this will af-
ford a good test as -csody is op-
posed to the way in force of amend
