ALMOST COMPLETED.
The Amount Necessary to get
the New Glass Factory

Only few hundred Dollars Lacking
Morganfown receiving many Compile
ments on her HusfIing Abilities--The
List OF Subscribers will be Published
on next Tuesday lin the meanwhile
wiles has the List and and will see
all who wAns to give something.
But few hundred dollars remain
to be raised to get the glass factory
and the indications are that it will
be forthcoming in short time. The
committee have done a wonderful
lot Of work and have neglected their
own business to raise the mt ney and
they deserve the commentator OF
all the public spirited people of town.
The amount they have raised in the
time they have done it shows the
amount of hustle they have put into
the matter, Morgantown owes much
to their efforts and will begin to APP
preciate it substantially when the
new plant begins operations.
From all over the state comes
compliments on our hustiing in
landing this factory and the good
results of the one we now have in
our city is the theme of many a
glowing editorial in our exchanges.
Morgantown is being advertised in
manner that will prove worth cold
hard cash in many ways on account
of the thing. Let US deserve these
compliments by raising the balance
of the money in the next few days.
There is no reason in the world why
it can't be done and every consider
alton demands that the matter be
pushed. On Tuesday it is the in
tention to publish the list of all who
have subscribed and the amount
they have given. Before that time
the effort will be made to get the
balance needed. j. W. Wiles has
the list and those desiring to sub
scribe may see him. How much will
you give to have six thousand dol
lars month spent here2

Morgantown has the hustling abil-
ity among her citizens, that has
made the town what it is. King
wood needs to take some Lessons
from her neighbor town. A couple
of weeks ago a company asked what
inducements Morgantown would Of
fer to have another glass house es-
tablished there, with a pay roll of
about $4,000 month. The town
held a public meeting, appointed a
committee, and $500 has already
beer subscribed by the public spir-
tied business men there. Only 81,
500 more is needed to secure the en-
terprise. With half this much push
Kingwood could have secured Col.
Riggs wooden factory, the Reform
School or the Conference Seminary.
We must hustle, or give up the
struggle.
There is an astonishing piece Of
news in the Grafton Sentinel of last
week, concerning gigantic railroad
project which is of interest to some
Prestonians and Monongalians. There
is heap of truth in the old saying
that one has to ''go away from home
to learn the news Captain George
NJ Whitescaryer, of Grafton, accord
ing to the Sentinel, contemplates the
building of railroad from Morgan
town over the "Black Bottle" route
to Reeasville, and from there by
way of Irondale furnace to Thorn
ton, and thence branch to Beling-
ton and branch to Grafton. One
can almost imagine they hear the
spikes being driven already, and can
peer into the hazy distance towards
Reedsville and see the smoke from
the locomotives. To be plain and
brief, there is nothing in it. The
"Black Bottle railroad is not owned
by Hon. George c. Sturgiss, individ-
ually, for it is a part of the West
Virginia Northern railroad of which
Mr.. StGrgiss is joint owner. We
haven't the slightest idea that Mr.
Sturgiss ever contemplated such a
use for his road, for already plans
have been matured for the extern
sion of the West Virginia Northern
to Morgantown, and We are not Civ
ing away any secrets when we state
it. We do not like to discourage the
Sentinefs project, at all, but we
know what we are talking about.

The citizens of Morgantown are
about to land another glass factory.
A strong and responsible firm desir-
ing new location proposed to To-
cate its glass works in that town
provided free site and bonus OF
$4,000 was offered as an induce
ment. The company agrees to pay
out from 81, 1000 to $4,000 per month
and it is estimated that their loca-
ton will add about six hundred peo-
pie to the population of the town,
The enterprising spirit of the lead
ing citizens of Morgantown does not
let such opportunities go by and
they soon had two or three sites
ready and now have the money sub
scribed. One man subscribed $500
and others $500 and so on. They
will get the glass works. The fac
tories located in Morgantown the
past year in this way have added
$250,000 to the taxable property Of
the town.

dent of the Board of Regents Of the
West Virginia University. called at
the White House to day, accompa-
MED by Senator Elkins, to invite
President Mckinley to deliver an adj
dress ut the commencement OF the
University in June The President
said he feared he could not iind time
amid his official duties to write
more addresses than those he had
already agreed to deliver. before
midsummer, jokingly addiag that
the addresses he would make before
the University of Pennsylvania on
February % might possibly he for
gotten by June, so that he co Id use
it over again at Morgantown.
Speaking seriously he said it
would give him great pleasure to
speak at Morgantown, and he would
consider the invitation. Mr.. Stur-
giss suggested that the President
could, without much Inconvenience,
stop at Morgantown going to or com
ing from Delaware, Ohio. where he
will attend the commencement of
theOhioW esleyan University inJune.

MCKINLEY INVITED.
He may Deliver an Address here
Some time in June.

Senator Elkins and lion. George G.
sturgiss invite iIim-He will take the
Natter under Consideration and If
possible he will be here-He will at
tend the exercises at the Ohio Hes-
Ieyan and will come down from Fair
mont il he decides TO come.
Hon George G. Sturgiss since ne
became a member of the board of
regents has shown in thousand
different ways the interest he is tax
ing in the school and that his APP
pointment was an excellent one.
During his reeeut visit to Washing
ton he took opportunity to request
the President to make visit to the
University Senator Elkins accom-
panied Mr.. sturgiss and the Presi-
dent very graciously received them.
He listened to their request and
gave them long careful consulta-
tion. At the conclusion OF the talk
he told them that he would take the
matter under consideration and
would come il he possibly could
IF Mckinley comes he viii be here
some time during Commencement in
June The prospects are very good
for him to be here. He is going to
attend the exercises at the Ohio
Wesleyan of which institution he is
trustee and will deliver an address
there. On his return he will go
through Fairmont and there is moth
ing which would prevent his coming
down here and giving us an address.
He has promised to do this Il he
finds it convenient As there is APP
parently nothing in the way we can
consider the matter as settled.
The occasion would be a great one
for the University 1t woula direct
attention towards us from all over
the country and would show people
what we have been maintainio. for
long time that we are deserving of
place among the first OF American
colleges and that we will take it if
given o chance The event wonld
attract people from all over the state
and the neighboring part Of Penn
sylvania and would prove Of; very
great Importance to us Il many
ways. Every one hopes tA2t the
thing may be arranged ana the
asked for address delivered Moth
ing that can be done on the part of
regents will be left undone and Sen
ator Elkins will do all he can to lave
the President come here.
