New Cadet Officers.

The commandant Of cadets at the
University and the President of the
University have forwarded request
to the Governor to appoint Charles
f. Mccoy major in the cadet corps
and Roy Roger as cadet captain.
The last appointment has raised
considerable opposition in some
quarters as Roger has skipped a
number of other officers who rank
him. These are very mad over the
affair but they will do nothing very
rash about it. Roger is very good
man and will make a good captain. At
present. he is first sergeant of his
cOmnanY.

To this Mayor White replied in the
affirmative. He went ahead and or

The afternoon tram on Monday
was delayed for five hours by bad
slide at Hoult. The tracks were
Their gotten clear and traffic was
then resumed. The heavy rains of
the last few days have made the
sides Of the cuts very dangerous and
liable to slip any time The won
der is that there has been no more
slides and greater disarrangement
of the trains than there has been.

Prof. Thos. E. Hodges represented
Monongalia in the Sunday School

The address was perfect in defini-
ton and demonstration and the
peroration was sublime A State

WESTON, w. VA, April 24.-This
morning three of our boys, Kirk Smith,
Warner Chapman and Hesekiah st.
Clair, members of company X, of
Clarksburg, were called to report at
Clarksburg at once. The boys, owing
to there being no Sunday trains, se-
cured horses and were ready to start
for Clarksburg when Clerk Mont Top
ping, Of the hospital, suggested that
the boys be escorted to Clarksburg by
our band and by special train. A
subscription paper was started by Mr..
Topping. who, within a few hours,
secured the amount, $50, to run the
special train for the boys. They left
here at 4 p. m. The coaches were
highly decorated with our national
colors. Over 200 people accompanied
the boys to Clarksburg. Three cheers
were given Mr.. Topping and the boys
when the train pulled out of the sta

Sawed Stone Walks for Kingwood.

Kingwood is wanting to put on
more style than little. They have
never had anything but board walks
in the town, but now they have de-
cided that even brick walks are not
good enough, and are going to put
down sawed stone. They voted to
bond the town for this purpose some
time since and now they are adver-
Using for bids on the sawed stone.
This will make the finest Of walks
be very smooth and will last forever.

A PRETTY HESS
The National Guard don't know
where it is sat"


The 80 men who volunteered here for
service in the CIarksburg company
will not be taksn--what will be done
In their case is Pr0blemafical-. How
the row started and the curious blum
der Of the people at Headquarters
A telegram from Charleston in an
other column will give additional in
formation about the thing.
The thirty men who have volun-
teered to go and whip Spain from
Morgantown may get to stay at
home for some time judging from
the turn affairs have taken. There
is grend row among the national
guard and the cratic Governor and
the whole thing is at standstill.
What will be done is predetermined.
Orders have been issued from
regimental headquarters to stop the
whole thing and not take any more
men. That those already taken
cannot be enlisted now as they are
not needed and to the effect that
there is no use doing anything I'M
til after the row at headquarters can
be Strengthened out.
Needless to say the men here are
very much disappointed and are
loud in their denunciation of the
way in which they have been treat
ed. The mistake was made by
Spillman. There were only twelve
hundred men wanted from this state
and he directed the regimental Off
GERS to get that many in each regi-
ment. There could be only one is
sue in such case. Half of the men
would have to be left behind. That
has happened. This has placed the
officers of the guard in a false posi-
ton and a number of them will re-
sign at once. The whole thing is in
a most wonderful tangie and what
will be done time only can show.

The state Sunday school conven-

Clarksburg has adjourned, having fin

school workers from all over the state
and the meeting was the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held. The
people of the town were very hospita-
BILE and saw to it that all the visitors
had the very best time possible.
A number of eloquent addresses on
the work were made, and every one
who was there came away with new
enthusiasm for the work There
were number of Morgantown people
in attendance and the number was
continually augmented during the
meeting. Among those who were
there from here were Rev. A. M.

returned home and are loud in their

PROF. ALDRICH HAS GONE.
He is in Philadelphia where he Will
Take an Examination for Entering
the Service.

Yesterday morning Prof. Aldrich
received orders to go to Philadelphia
where he would, be examined at once
preparatory to entering the navy to
decide on the position that he will
hold in it. He is a graduate of Anap-
oils and some time ago when the
Spanish trouble began he rendered his
services to the government in case
they were needed. The telegram re-
celved yesterday was to the effect that
he was needed and to come at once.
He Immediately got ready and pulled
out for Philadelphia where he hai
been ordered to report.
1t is likely that he will come back
to Morgantown before he goes into
active service, but even that depends
on the outlook when he is through
the examination. He is the first man
from here to actually start for the
war.

THE attorney general reports that
great many of the corporations act
ually foreign, but doing business un-
der domestic charters, have recognized
the justice Of his demand that they
pay to the State the amount OF mon
ey they should have paid had they
obtained proper charters. The for
eign corporations under foreign char
tiers pay an initial tax of $50 and an
annual tax of $40, whereas, those
operating under domestic charters pay
only $40 initial tax and $40 year.
The attorney general wrote TO these
companies and many of them have
substantially responded. One man
paid up back taxes for four years
amounting to $160. Mr.. Rucker says
the payment Of these back taxes will
make change Of possibly $1,000 or
more in the States revenues this
year. He also declared that he was
going to make 1t warm for ''some of
these little shystersn who are working
the State even now for domestic char
tiers for foreign corporations.

ACCORDING to the Westmoreland
papers, train loaded with bicycles,
more than six thousand in all, passed
east over the Pennsylvania central a
few days ago. The bicycle fad seems
to be gaining in popularity with each
succeeding day. Nearly every train
contains consignment of wheels to
some point, and the young man who
isn't sporting one is considered back
number in many localities. Physi-
clans generally have recommended the
practice as invigorating and adding
to longevity. However, physician
and writer OF more than ordinary note
has recently written an article In
which he says that too persistent use
Of the wheel by men and women as
well, brings ON serious ailments that
develop as age goes on, and that peo-
pie should limit their time of riding
as matter of precaution.

52s.I3 The greater part OF this remarkable
debt clearing has been upon the farms
OF Sedgwick county. but nearly $4,000 Of
1t has been upon the residence properties.
This does not indicate that any consid-
cradle part Of tho residence property OF
Wichita heretofore owned and occupied
by Wichita business men Is under mort
gage. The boom left a great deal Of the
city realty In outlying districts under a
heavy debt A great deal Of this was
held by nonrresidents. Wichita people who
we're in busipess here and who have been
going into business in this city in the last
year are buying UP this property for
homes and the mortgages are disappear
ing. Farmers have disposed Of thousands
Of bushels Of wheat at figures from s.
cents to $40 per bushel and are getting
rid Of their mortgages at rapid rate and
very gratifying rate. And the great new
