ting 1t in place VIII not be done
until sometime next week.

The Turn Verein sometime age
ordered hundred and fifty dollars
worth OF gymnasium apparatus and
a short time after that was done
they decided to order some more and
another assessment of one dollar
was laid on the members. The first
order has been received and is being
placed in position in the club gym

have very complete gym and when
the other stuff comes there will be
but little to wish for
These will be in place by next
week and the members will be ready
for all kinds of drill. These drills
are being gone through with, with a
great deal of interest and the mem

all the evolutions of the Turner's
drill At some future day they will
give an exhibition to the public Of
their work.

Is days or sooner-The prospective
Improvements Of that fine residence
street will make it one Of the most
beautiful In town.
The first step in clearing Spruce
street of the unsightly stables which
detract from the finest residence
street that Morgantown has, has be
gun. The row Obstacles from Court
Alley to DR.. Kelly's will shortly be
removed and part of them will 90 in
fifteen days from date. The other
stables on the street will it is hoped
eventually follow and from the pres
ent indications it will not be very
long until they do.
The stables to be torn down be-
long to James Bell and F. X. O'Kel-
ly. Bells stable will come down in
fifteen days and the others will be
removed as the ice which fills part
of them can be removed. The 9TH
ers it is said will come later.
With the stables away fine lot
of residence lots will be opened up
on Spruce street and it will give a
great impetus to the erection of fine
residences on that part of the street.
Mr.. O'Kelly will soon begin the
erection of a dwelling house on his
OF and others are to follow soon.
The destruction of the Bell stable
which was built years ago will re-
move another of the land marks
about town. 1t was originally built
by the Laziers and is one of the
Oldest stables in town. We are glad
to see it go and could see some of
the other eye sores on that street
disappear with no feelings of re-
greet.
This is the beginning of the inn
provements that are to make Spruce
street one of the prettiest streets in
the town. Paving will come and the
other stables will be torn down The
side walk will be extended the whole
length of the street and there will be
nothing left undone which could
add to the beauty of the street.
There is but one obstruction in
the way of the improvements and
that is the John Davis house in the
north end. This projects over the
place which is needed for the side
walk. However this will soon be
remedied as every one interested is
ready for the adjustment of the mat
ter Mr.. Davis is disposed the meet
the council half way in the affair
and it can be fixed up all right
and with no trouble.

The way of the transgressor is
hard is the lesson that w p Chaffee
is learning and he will have many a
sad lesson in that before he is done
with it. He dished out booze with
reckless hand on the avenue for
months and defied the officers of the
law to catch him. His place grew
to be such a nuisance that it finally
grew unbearable and the people iv-
ing near there made an awful kick.
The officers made ready to pull
him and after the smoke had cleared
away he had flown and the speak

had disappeared.

he had two judgments against him

were found by the grand jury. He
left the state but soon returned and
began to run speakeasy in Gamer

in Jail. Sheriff Pyle, of Wetzel coun

attorney here and asked him If he
wanted Chaffee and on getting an
affirmative answer he harnessed the

Right now-Digest Of the Syllabus.
In the Supreme Court of this
state on Wednesday there was de
cided a case which is of the greatest
possible interest to the people of
Morgantown and other towns of the
state. 1t involved the very life of
the building and loan societies and
had the decision gone against them
every building and loan organiza-
ton in the state would have been
forced to go into liquidation with all
the hardships that would have i'm
piled on their large number of mem
bers most Of whom are poor and are
not in shape for such move.
The case involved foreign cor
poration doing business in this
state. 1t was sued by Mrs. Archer,
a Parkersburg woman, and the test
was made on the constitutionality of
the law which exempts building and
loan societies from the general law
in regard to usury The style of
the suit was Archer VS. Baltimore
Building and Loan Association. The
association was upheld in the man
ner used by it in levying premiums
and the rate of interest charged.
This means that the associations
can continue to do business accord
ing to the old methods and estab-
fishing new precedent and makes
them so much the safer for the test
through which they have passed.
Had the decision gone the other way
it would have meant ruin to many

SACRED MEMORIES.

Reference to

dent-He does not want to see the

dent--He does not want to sec the
new order Of things.
A private letter was received this
morning from a gentleman who was
educated here but who many years
ago moved to the far west where he
has prospered. After referring to
other matters he added the following
paragraph the sentiment of which
will be felt by some of our older resi-
dents:
II am pleased to observe the pros
perity of the town and of the Uni
versity and ! congratulate you who
have participated in the same; but
you must not think me a pessimist
when / say that / prefer the old
town Of twenty years ago. No COM
munity have ever visited has had
for me the charms OF Morgantown of
those days. 1t was an old fogy town
It is true; but the people were kind,
sociable and contented. For me the
loss of contentment cannot be COM
pensated by the great gains the town
has made in other directions. New
charms you now have no doubt, but
to me, as the gray hairs begin to
come, the memories of happy hours
when time was young make me sigh
for the old order of things. The
change in the town has become too
great for me; new names fill the
places once held by noble men who
have passed away; the minor chords
of memory only are struck, which
give pleasure only through feelings
of sorrow.
Wishing you the best that life can
give, ! remain, sincerely yours,

LOTS OF LUMBER.

by local firm.
Mr.. w. S. Montgomery has re-
turned from Belington and Wormels-
dorf and other points in the interior
of the state where he had gone to
buy lumber While away he made
the largest purchase of dry hemloclx
which was ever made by a Morgan
town firm. He bought one million
feet for immediate delivery here.
and at Warrington. This lum-
Der is in very great demand here
just now and is very hard to get.
The purchase just made will insure
a sufficient supply for some time to
come
The lumber will be worked up in
the planning mill run ,y the Mont
gomerys in South Morgantown as
fast as it can be after it is received.
1t has been partly shipped and in a
few days will arrive. The company
is determined to secure everything
that may be needed here by the
builders and this purchase is one of
the moves toward that end.

ELEVEN FELLOWSHIPS
Established at the West Vir-

Each is worth $500 year to its holder
--Fellowships in Chemistry, Physics,

chanical Engineering, Civil Engin.
eering, Economics, English aud Bot
any An Important step taken by
| President Raymond and the Execu.
tive Committee.
Another very important step has
been taken to strengthen and develop
the West Virginia University. Upon
the recommendation of President
Raymond, eleven Fellowships have
been established by the executive
committee of the Board of Regents,
subject to the approval of the full
board. These Fellowships will be
one each in the departments of
Chemistry, Physics, Greek, Geology,
Zoology, Mathematics, Mechanical
Engineering, Civil Engineering,
Economics, English, and Botany.
These fellowships are established
for the purpose of encouraging adj
vanced study and promoting higher
scholarship.
The regulations governing them
are as follows:
i. Each Fellow will be paid 5000
annually, and will be excused from
the payment of all University fees.
2. The Fellowships will be award
ed annually by the president of the
University to candidates for advanc-
ed degrees who are graduates of the
West Virginia University, or other
institutions of recognized standing.
3. Candidates for Fellowships
will send in their applications, to-
gether with evidences of merit, at
tainments and ability,not later than
June first each year The appoint
ments will be announced at Com
meneement.
4. Applications must be accom-
panied by evidence of scholarship,
ability and general worthiness, such
as theses (whether prepared for this
or other purposes), published wri-
tings, testimonials from instructors,
outline of educational course pur-
sued, special distinctions gained and
the like. Applications to receive
attention must contain definite
statement of the special studies
which the applicant intends to pnr-
sue.
5. All Fellowships will be filled
each year. Fellows may be reelected
for one additional year only.
6. Each Fellow will pursue his
studies under the direction OF the
professor or professors in charge of
his special studies. Assignment Of
University service to the Fellows will
be made by the president in consul
tation with the head of the depart
ment to which the Fellow has been
assigned. The work assigned will be
equivalent to one hour of teaching
daily, or the supervision of laboratory
work for two hours daily.
From this announcement it will be
seen that eleven young men or young
women will be paid enough to meet
all of their living and other expenses
at the University while they take
year of graduate work. In return for
this, they will each teach one hour
day, thus adding greatly to the active
teaching force Of the University at
small cost, and at the same time help
ing the most promising and most am
bilious students.
This new movement meets with the
most hearty endorsement OF every
body. Applications for these fellow
ships are already coming in. Young
men and young women interested and
eligible should write to the president
Of the University.

Many young men of this town will
lay idle week to get a days work

steady work. The pick and shovel

suggested that boat was not al

blowing her whistle he said he knew
that and it was not meant to :inter-

beyond the bounds of reason. An
investigation will be made and if
sufficient grounds are found the mat
ter will be stopped.

The retailers of the ardent in parts
of the county are preparing for
a grand reunion in the county Jail,
Mr.. w. p. Chaffee having come in
first and he has now been joined by
Mrs. Lib Wilson, of Clay district,
near Ponetown. She was brought in
by Deputy Sheriff Norman Garrison.
Some time ago she spent Jew
weeks in the county bastile the guest
of the sheriff and after the expira-
ton of that time she grew duly
penitent and promised the court that
she would be good and he directed
that she be turned out again.
At liberty she soon forgot her
hardships and began to issue the Sc
ductive bug juice to the thirsty Clay
district denizens. This was brought
to the attention of Mr. Lazzelle and
he ordered that she be corralled and
brought in. The instructions were
followed out and she is now in Jail
where she will remain until the fines
which now stand against her as well
as others that may be imposed may
be paid or the court get another
lenient spell on. This will likely
be some time yet.

Governor Atkinson is considering the
question Of consolidating the two
regiments of the West Virginia Nat
ional Guard into one regiment in the
event that the President should call
for only one thousand men from this
State. The West Virginia National
Guard now consists of about one
thousand men. If only 1000 be call
ed for the two regiments will likely be
consolided so that all the members
of the National Guard can have an
opportunity to do some fighting.
