The Government Knows a Good
Thing.

The Lake Shore Railroad has a gov
ernment contract for carrying the mails
between Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo,
Chicago and all points in the west and
southwest for the reason that it's
trains are among the fastest in the
country. AS it has always been re-
markably free from accident, there is
little likelihood of delay. The Lake
Shore trains are always on time; it's
cars are of the highest grade, and its
high-back seats most comfortable for
long journeys. Follow the example of
the government and use the Lake
Shore wherever possible. 80

Captain David M. Camp died at
his home near Arnettsville, in this
county on Sunday night, April oath,
aged IS years. He had been suffer-
ing for more than two years past
from complication of diseases that
seemed to battle the skill of his ply
sicians, and finally resulted in his
death. He came of one of our old
families and was always an honora-
BILE, conscientious man, having the
confidence and esteem of all who
knew him. He had led quiet life
for number of years past, though
he took some interest in politics and
was once the candidate of the demo-
Gratis for state senator from this dis
trict and at the time of his death was
a member of the state democratic
executive committee. He served
during the late civil war in the con-
federate army being Captain of Co.
A., Doth Virginia cavalry. He re-
fused promotion, preferring to serve
through with the boys who enlisted
when he did. He came of rather
numerous family five of whom sur
vive him, viz: Ulysses, Uriah, Miss
Catharine Camp, Mrs j. Milton
Jollifie and Mrs. Nathan Smith.
The remains will be brought
to the residence of Uriah Camp to-
day and the funeral will take place
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock I'M
der the auspices of the Free Masons.

BAD LUCK
Befalls Kingwood Boy who started
for Alaska.


The following was written by Wal
ter Flynn to his mother in Kingwood
and explains itself:
Just nine months ago started
from home, and quite an experience
has been crowded into that short
time. But the last is the worst, for
we have been shipwrecked and lost
nearly everything the provisions all
spoiled from salt water. l have
my clothes all but my overcoat We
came back here on the CITY of
Kingston, SO now ! guess I will go
back to Montana or Dakota and stay
there.
II hate to give up my pet plan,
but it seems as though fate is against
me, for while on the city Of King
ston, coming back here, hired as
second cook on the steamer Town
send, bound for Alaska, and left here
the same day / arrived. But we
only got % miles up, when the boiler
gave out and we had to turn back. .
Or the 18th Of March three other
men left Kingwood for the Klon-
dixie, and we would not be surprised
to hear Of their return tcsore arriv-
ing at the land Of ice. Their names
are William Smalley, "A. ". Albright
and +. N. boon. The two latter
are married end have families

THE CADET BATTALION.
The plan is to take has been
Decided upon.

There are to be three Companies in the
Battalion-Large number OF the Ca.
diets have already Enrolled in the or.
ganization and more are to follow.
There is no r.fasOn In the World for
them going aad the Governor will
Likely refuse the offer Of their SER
vices-Faculty will do all 1t can to
Keep them at h0me-The present
status OF affairs.
The cadet battalion has finally
taken form. The committee which
was appointed at the mass meeting
yesterday made up their minds
what they wanted and they reported
to another meeting held after drill
yesterday afternoon. The report
was accepted by the one hundred
and fifty boys present.
1t provides for three companies
and forLieutenant Lockwood 70 com
mand the battalion. The commit
tee thinks that the present organi-
cation should disband as such in Or
der to meet any and all objections
that might be raised to taking it as
it is and that another one should be
formed. This the meeting agreed to.
The men for the new companies
are to be composed of the cadets,
the students, alumni of the Univer-
sity and other suitable material. By
this means the personel of the com
mand is to be of a very high order.
The enrolment blanks were passed
around for an hour or more before
the last meeting and more than fifty
names were secured of those who
would join the new command. To
day the applications are still coming
in at rapid rate and when the gov
ernor is communicated with there
will be sufficient number secured
to form the three companies.
The old officers are to be taken as
the officers of the command and any
others that may be selected will be
promoted in order according to the
of the cadet corps for
such cases.
The faculty will be asked to ex-
cuse the men and give credit for all
the we ar's work if they are accepted
by the governor and called out. Then
there will be a fight in the faculty
over the matter. A large majority
of these know that there is absolute
ly no necessity for the cadets offer
ing their services and are deter
mined to prevent their going if pos
sible. They do not think that At
kinson will accept them when there
are SO many men who are anxious to
go and when there is no need for
their services.
The proffer of services has not yet
been made to the governor but it will
soon be sent in. What he will do
with it viii! be awaited with inter-
est.

THE BASE BALL SEASON.
will be opened here on next Saturday
with game with Waynesburg
College.

The base ball season of '9S will
be opened here on next Saturday af-
ternoon with game with Waynes-
burg College. The University boys
are in fine condition and they will
undoubtedly pull out victory. The
team was never composed of better
men and they are practicing as hard
as the weather will allow and they
are playing we'll together.
The outlook was never better for
a first class team and it will be COM
posed Of amateurs in the strictest
sense of the word. We have no use
for W. and j. methods of buying a
base ball team and then claiming
credit for the college. The result Of
the game will more than likely be a
victory. Waynesburg has never
won fairly from us and they will
never see the day when they can win
fairly. A very large crowd will be
out to see how the boys perform and
to root them>to victory.

LAND HUNGER.
The Lengths to Which 1t has Led Peo-
pie Seeking Hemesteads in the
Mast

The mania for land was curiously
illustrated by the rush of settlers aud
spectators upon the opening Of new
lands in Oklahoma says Henry ].
Fletcher in the May Atlantic An
immense multitude left homes in a
dozen states, and fiocked thither by
rail, in wagons, on horseback, and on
foot, camped out for weeks and
months along the borders OF the prom
ised land, suffered all kinds of priva-
tions, and raced madly across the
line when the gun was fired, only to
find that there were 10 competitors
for every quarter section, and they
got it, far inferior to that which they
left behind. The unsuccessful ones
eked out miserable existence as long
as they could in the mushroom towns,
and finally drifted forlornly back to
surrounding states. Many western
towns deliberately intoxicated them
selves in imitation OF their neighbors.
Prices were forced up by means of brass
bandauctions and artificial excitement.
Raw villages on the prairies INDUCED
in rosy dreams Of greatness, and gas
lights twinkled where the coyotes
should haye been left undisturbed.
Every city and town in the regions
out families impoverished by the
collapse. 1t had its root in the true
spirit of gambling, and has borne its
Legitimate fruit.

all in all, it was one of the rarest

subject was "The Origin and Spirit
of the Greek Myth" Mrs. Nc
Murphy delightfully."- discussed a
number of old Greek myths, giving
their probable origin and their spiri-
itual significance after which Miss
Russell McMurphy rendered six
musical numbers, illustrating the
stories previously narrated by Mrs.

tie, the song of the sirens, the sto-
ries of Narcissus, Endymion and

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Monday May eighth will be observed
in memory of the Maine heroes in the
churches.

The various ministers in the town
have been asked to set apart Sunday
May eighth as memorial day for
the brave men who went to their
death on the Battleship Maine in
Havana harhor on Feb. 15. This
movement will be national in its ex-
tent and in every church of the land
on that day the services will be on
the same subject. This is particu-
larry appropriate when so many are
engaged in remembering the Maine
with their blood.
General Nelson A. Miles is the
chairman of the committee which
is making the effort and other equal
ly noted men are associated with
him in the work. The services will
be largely attended in Morgantown
and will be of most interesting
character. Most if not all of the
ministers here will hold the services
as requested.

she was nearly killed. Her breast
was very badly trampled and she was
in a terrible condition. DIR. Page

is feared that she is fatally injured.
The particulars which can be OBJ
tanned are very meager.

accident before. She has broken a
number of fiery colts and could ride
better than any woman in the county
and few men are her equals.

had been notified that they would be

away from here and the applications
when they are good musicians are be-

who ore anxious enough but who are
not able to play we'll.
The men are not being mustered in
but they are singing black stating
that they are ready to be mustered in
at any time and will go when called
up on for service. They may never
be called and then again the call may
may come at any time. They are in
the same boat as the balance of the
national guard and don't know just
how they are fixed.
