War Certain.

The time for speculation is past
The Congress of the United States
has directed the President to inter
vene in Cuba at once and to rid that
island of the Spaniard. It's not con-
ceivable that he will disobey this in
junction and there will be war. He
will order Spain to evacuate the
island and give her forty eight hours
to get out. or course she will re-
fuse. AT the end Of the stipulated
time the entire land and naval force
of this country will be brought to
bear on her to compel her to do as
we wish. This will be done by
Thursday or perhaps if there are I'M
foreseen events by Saturday at the
latest. The last act of the horrible
tragedy on the island Of Cuba has
begun. May it be short, sharp and
decisive.

slightest trouble and within very
few days of the time of the fire. The

the ground and after very little con
ference with the property holders
came to an amicable understanding
Those who felt the fire are all well
pleased with the treatment they have
received from the companies and the
representatives of the companies are
well pleased with the attitude of the
people here. Taken all round there
was a mutual admiration society
started over the way things were fixed
up.
Among the companies represented
by Robert Chrisman and the amounts
allowed by them to the various prop.
erty holders are as follows: George
W. John & Co., $500, held by the
Philadelphia Underwriters; Cox &

What they think Of George Keener.

In addition to the numerous adj
vantages of Weston which We have
mentioned is the natural gas, which
is supplied to our people by the
Weston Natural Gas and Fuel Co,
OF which Dr.. George l. Keener is
president. The company are liber-
ally patronized by the people of
Weston as most of the residents use
gas for heating purposes; which is
superior in every way as a fuel to
coal especially so on account of its
cleanliness and its regular and un-
varying heat. The business Of the
company is under the exclusive
control of DIR. Keener, who uses ev-
cry effort to give satisfaction to his
patrons and there is not "Keener"
or better business man in Weston
than the Doctor has proven himself
to be. He is also one of the best
theoretical and practical dentists in
the state, and enjoys large and
remunerative practice and is recog-
nized as one of Weston's best and
most popular business men.

AFTER TEACHERS
They Are Wanted at The State
University
This summer TO Ate.d the Course.
Waitman Barbe Addresses The
Teachers Meeting.

Teachers Meeting.
Wheeling News
The State University authorities
are making an effort to interest the
teachers Of the Wheeling public
schools in the summer course at the
Morgantown institution. Waitman
Barbe, field agent of the university,
arrived in the city yesterday after
noon, and with that object in view
will address the teachers at their BIZ
weekly meeting at Superintendent
Anderson's Office this afternoon.
Speaking of the matter this morn
ing, Mr. Barbe said to News report
er: 1.-THE summer course of the
State university would be invaluable
to the teachers OF Wheeling. 1t
really is not an extra course, but is
one of the regular terms of the un-
iversity year. The total course is
now divided into quarters OF which
the summer season forms regular
part. 1t is so adapted that it
answers all the needs OF those persons
who can attend a University only dur
ing the summer months.
Extra features have been added to
the summer course, making it parlic-
ularly attractive. Among the
special speakers and lecturers we have
engaged are DIR. Hinsdale, of the I'm
iversity OF Michigan; DIR. Winship, OF
Boston, editor of the New England
Journal of Education; DR.. Lester
Ward, OF the Smithsonian Institute;
President e. Benjamin Andrews, of
Brown University; DR.. Zuglin, of the
University of Chicago, and DIR. Ken
meth Mackenzie, of Union college. snd
a number of Others equally prominent.
These gentlemen will be at the Tn,
iversity for periods ranging from one
of six weeks. Every night during
the course there will be free public
lecture by some prominent educator
on appropriate subjects.
s'The University is doing well now
in all its branches. 1t has the great
est number of students in its history
by large percentage, and in Presi-
dent Raymond and his wife we have
two energetic workers whose sole aim
is the betterment of the institu-
tiOn."

THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
Issues an order to the Militia to get
ready to Rendezvous-they will posi-.
bly, go to Grafton--West yirginia's
quota of the first Fifty Thousand will
be met with the organized National
GuOrd.

quOtA OF the HfSt fIIty lnOusNnu Will
be met with the organized National
Guard.
The brigade and regimental Off
GERS have received an order from Ad-
jutant General Appleton to be in
readiness to assemble at a rendez-
vous in the state that will be select
ed when the call from the President
for troops is made. Similar tele-
grams were sent to the captains
commanding companies of the first
and second regiments throughout
the state.
AT present the strength of the two
regiments is about 800 men, not near
the full companies, and only one or
two of the companies have the full
strength. The companies are being
added to by men DESTROYS of going
to the front at the Presidents first
call for troops. If a company is or
gained which is probable, it will
become part of the First regiment
which is commanded by Colonel
Clarence L. Smith, of Fairmont
AS to the rendezvous, it is proba-
BILE it will be at some point on the
Baltimore d Ohio r. R., possibly
Grafton
IF the Presidents call is for $4,000
men, the 500 organized state militia
men, will form within one hundred
Of West Virginia's quota of the call,
and the strengthening of the compa-
MES by recent enlistments will bring
the organized soldiery to more than
the quota.

A FINE BLOCK
Will Take the Place of the Mil
Ter Building Which the
Fire Damaged.

Three stories and with Pressed Brick
Front Work has begun on the
Building and 1t will be rushed up.
Huston q Domain Have the Contract.
Business Houses on the First Floor,
Captain MiIler's residence on the
second, Flats on the third.
One Of the finest business and resi-
dence properties in MtagAnlown is to
rise from the ruins OF J. r. Miller's
house ON Main street, which was gut
ted by the recent fire. He gave
the contract to Huston & Domain as
soon as the fire losses were adjusted.
When he knew what he could depend
on Capt. Miller gave out the contract.
The new building as remodeled from
the ruins of the old will be beauty.
The front will be of pressed brick. II
was the intention at first to have
four stories built, but it has now been
decided that three are enough and the
third will have large skylights placed
over it and will be delightful place.
The first room will be occupied by
business rooms as at present. The
upper one will extend back twenty
five feet and the lower side Of the
the house will run back for fifty feet.
Half of this latter extension will be
used by the store room and the other
will be used as dryingIroom for to-
bacco.
The second floor will be occupied
by Captain Miller and the third will
have two flats for rental. The whole
building will be built farther back
than it was before the fire and the
improvement in the size of it will not
be inconsiderable. The present walls
will be utilized as far as they can.
The only wall that will have to
be torn down very far in the
judgement of the contractors is
the upper one and that will be torn
down until the bricks are found
to be solid and Unaffected by the fire.
The work on the building has COM
menced and will be completed as soon
as the work can be done. All the
men who can work to advantage will
be Put on the job. This will suit all
concerned as Captain Miller is very
anxious to get into the house again.
