UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Some Items Of Interest from the big
Scho0I-Atkinson to lecture here
shortly. Other Notes.

Among the attractions which are
to be offered to the students at the
University and the public generally
in the near future is a lecture by
Governor George Wesley Atkinson
This will no doubt prove interesting
and it will be heard with marked at
tention. The governor is in fine
shape for lecturing or any other ar
duous labor since he has taken Pc
ru-na and all the ills that flesh Is
heir to has been banished from his
system.
In recognition of the effective
work which has been done by Wait
man Barbe the travelling agent OF
the University he has been appointed
as assistant to the president by the
executive committee. This was
done on the recommendation of the
president. Mr.. Barbe will continue
to give much Of his time to the field
work which has resulted in so much
good for the institution.
Among the university professors
who have promised Sec'y Wilkin-
son, of the State educational associ-
alton, to attend the annual meeting
in Wheeling the last of June and
take part in it's discussions, are
President Raymond, Professors EN-
DRY, Armstrong, Woolery, Miller
and Hodges. Others will also prob.
ably attend. President Raymond
will deliver a lecture.

As to Volunteers.

With matters steadily approaching
war crisis, it is not improbable that
there will be a call for fifty thousand
volunteers during the coming week.
These will be apportioned among the
states on basis of population, and
West Virginia will be required to
furnish 500 men, or about one-half
the present strength Of the organized
national guard. In the event that
a call is made, the first regiment
would probably be called upon, al
though it might be that provisional
regiment would be made up Of the
best companies in the entire guard
of the state. The men would be re-
quired to volunteer into the service of
the United States, and would then
be sworn into that service, when they
would cease to be state troops, and
state control would come to an end.

FROM THE ARGUS.

Several Notes and Notices Of Morgan
town People and the town itself-Gets
hot over Press Reay's yarn Other
items from the Preston paper.
Oliver Ollie and son of Morgan
town, were in Kingwood last week on
business connected with the Ollie
farm near town.
Preston county is well represented
at the University this term. Quite a
number of young teachers have en-
tered for the spring term after closing
their schools. Clifford Davis of Etam,
Arnold Scherr of Eglon, Charles @.
Trembly and Roy Shaw of Terra Alta,
went to Morgantown last week to en-
roll.
And now Fairmont and Morgan
town both are trying to organize COM
panies of the national guard, each one
anxious to head the other off. Well
bet that Kingwood will have COM
pany before either Of the above places
do. The DAILY NEW DOMINION pub

and only two men volunteering, etc.
Then this modern Ananias went on to
say that some one proposed to organ
ize company of home guards, and
enlisted 1900 able bodied men in less
than fifteen minutes.
Morgantown in no way resembles
the town that is too slow too stop
quick. A new public school build
ing to cost thirty five or forty
thousand dollars is being built. The
streets will be paved this summer. A
new addition is being built to the
University. The old suspension
bridge across the Monongahela will be
raised and remodeled. A new bridge
is being built connecting South Nor
gantowh with Morgantown proper.

postoffice which purports to be the

several buildings, banished the war

Military Band Vacancies.

A few vacancies remain in the
First Regiment Band, for which APP
plications will be received by Direc-
tor Ellenberger, of the School of Mu-
sic Experienced men are preferred.
As this band is organized under the
auspices Of the West Virginia Uni
versity, the training will be free,
and uniforms and instruments will
be furnished free to the members,
whether students or others. If
called into service by the govern
ment, the members will receive in
addition to equipment and board,
one dollar per day Applications
from distance have been received,
but preference will be given men

Fitzhugh Lee at Appomattox.

1t may not be commonly known, y
said +. M. Murray, of Virginia, at
the National, "that General Fitzhugh
Lee did NO surrender at Appomattox
when his famous uncle gave up his
sword to General Grant, but such is
the case. 'Fitz' had no idea of giving
in right then, and with his division
made his way through the Federal
lines and was proceeding South when
he heard that General joe Johnston
had also surrendered. Then he real
lied that to continue the struggle was
useless, and very reluctantly ceased
fighting. He is a remarkable man
in more ways than one. have heard
it said of him that he can talk more
stupidity and act more sensible than
any man in the country, and that is,
think, pretty correct characteri-
zation. He is far from brilliant in
conversation, but he rarely ever
makes mistake, as his entire career
in Cuba demonstrates. The whole
country is proud of him, and it would
not surprise me If the Democrats
nominated him for Vice President
in 1000

.i,efends the Mormons.
To the Editor of the New DOMINION


The article in your paper OF last week
entitled, 1.-Two Mormons in Town. y
seems to me to encourage the acts OF
barbarism 1t has railways been SO that
the wicked spurn and ridicule the teach
ings OF the Bible and the language Of
the righteous, and they think they have
a better chance to sheer and complain
now as it is the Mormons who are
expounding the Scripture. 1t is the
privilege OF every American citizen to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own conscience, and it is his duty
to uphold those working for the cause
of Christ, whether it be Latter Day
Saint" or not But the followers OF
Christ must endure prosecutions. Those
who prosecute or any way obstruct the
actions OF those who are laboring in be.
half of Christ or who are interested in
the cause of humanity are bringing
condemnation upon their own souls.

nj. Fl. We'll & Co. have opened
again for business after the fire and
are in the store room on Peasants
street, near the Brock, Reed & Wade
building, in the room recently occu-
pied by one department of the public
school. The whole stock will be
closed out and they announce in an
other column that the goods will be
sold at great sacrifice. Many of
them are so slightly damaged that it
cannot be told, yet they are in the
damaged stock and must be moved to
make room for new ones. Mr.. We'll
says that no such opportunity will &C.
cur again in many years to get such
goods at mere song. He is deter
mined to clean out the whole stock
and If you don't get some of the bar
gains it is your own fault.
THERE is story afloat that an in
habitant of Durbannah On going
home one night the first OF last week
under the influence of booze per-
formed feat which would have been
an impossibility for a sober man.
The bridge had been torn down and
there only remained the arched
wooden support Of the old structure.
This was only a foot wide and was
at places forty feet above the water.
The aforesaid booty individual walk
ed across on this and did it without
quaver. Had he missed his foot
hold ba uro,,ll boxo hoo,, I,ol1x, -.
jured but he had no idea Of doing
that. He was the only man who
took that way Of getting across and
probably could not repeat the exper-
iment if he lived to be thousand
and tried it every day.
Mr.. j. C. WALLACE has moved
from the hotel to his handsome home
in the north end known as the Pur-
inton property and will reside
there in the future. Mr.. and Mrs.
Google and Mrs. Casteel accompanied
him. While Mr.. Wallace no doubt
regrets to leave the hotel where he
has done business successfully fol
so many years,it is doubtless a great
relief to him TO lay down the cares
Of business and feel that he can rest
after his long service in very ex
acting and responsible business. Al
is known. he leased the hotel that
his name has made famous, and
gave possession the first of January
but has been in such poor health
that he could not go out until now
His thousands OF friends wish hin
the many years Of rest and conn NJ
that be has ~ we'll EARNED.

Surveying up the River.

Word comes from Masontown that
the Pennsylvania railroad engineers
surveying up the river from Browns
vile have reached Browns ferry, ON
the Fayette county side, and the re-
port is that the road is to be sur
veyed and located on up to Morgan
town. 1t is not definitely known,
however, whether the extension from
Brownsville will be on the east or
west side of the river, but the large
sales of coal recently made in south
western Fayette and the prospect of
early development would seem to
favor the chances of the east side of
the river as the route Netcs- Stand
ard.

been racking their brains for weeks.
There are five members in the grad

for a number of years that boy
has graduated from the High school.
They almost always break for the
University long before they get
within shouting distance of gradua-

The exercises are expected to be
very interesting and will draw a
large crowd of the friends of the
graduates and others who are inter
ested in educational matters Last
year there were no graduates and no
graduating exercises on account of
a raising of the standard for gradu-

On Davis creek, Cabell county,
there has been considerable religious

of the weed, inaugurated war
against it by burning up his seed.

1t Can't Be Done.

To run a newspaper without &C
casionally publishing an item that
is untrue or giving offence, is like
running railroad without having
any accidents or smash-ups. 1t can't
be done. No man on earth is so
much imposed upon as the editor of a
newspaper. Pushed with work con-
tinually, he must rely on second and
third parties for information as to the
events that transpire. Frequently
statements are received from sources
which are thought to be reliable, but
which are subsequently discovered to
be without foundation.

Dramatic Club is in Fine Shape for

The members OF the University
Dramatic Club which will produce
"Caste" at Music Hall, Tuesday,
April rs. held a full dress rehearsal
last night. All the rough edges
have been polished and the eompa-
ny is now in trim to give Morgan
town an idea what local talent can
do when it comes to producing a
drama The cast is exceptionally
strong. Each member has formed
an excellent conception of the play.
The leads are taken by Earl H..
Smith and Miss Jessie Moorhead.
Seats will be on sale at MADEIRA
Bros Friday. You'd better secure
seats early as there is sure to be a
rush for them.

THE pavement in front of Major
Keener's on Wiley street has been
taken up aud relaid. 1t was badly
worn and the loose bricks with their
loads of mud and water were very dis
agreeable TO people passing. This
move could be followed with great
profit in many other parts of the
town where the pavement is worn out.
GRAFTON and Uniontown are both
nearby towns that are making ar
rangements to have big time on the
thirtieth of May and they will draw
some people from here. However,
last year there was but very few who
went from here to Grafton, and this
year there is no reason why any more
should go up there. Uniontown will
draw pretty well as there is to be a
base ball game there in which the
University teams will be one of the
contestants, and there are great
many students who will go down to
see it, Uniontown expects to see
more than two hundred rooters come
down with the team. If the day is a
pleasant one and the proper arrange
ments about special trains can be
made there will be big crowd ac-
company the team to cheer them to
victory.

INSTANT DEATH.

Stone Falls on Grover Dusenberry
Crushing the Life out Of him-He was
Digging Some Coal for the Use Of
the House when the Accident Dc.
curre9.
Sunday night while digging coal in
the bank near the house Grove Dusen-
berry, the eleven year old son of James
Dusenberry, who lives about mile
from Randall, met his death. BY
some means large stone fell on him,
crushing his life out and killing him
instantly.
The little fellow had gone out to the
coal bank accompanied by his cousin,
a child about the same age, and was
engaged in digging some coal when
the stone fell. The other child tried
to get him loose and then ran to the
house and told them what had hap.
pened. They FASTENED to the bank
but he was dead when found.
The funeral was held at Bethel or
Monday afternoon at four o'clock.
