A SIGNIFICANT FACT.

Sobriety Is becoming more and more
a matter of business. Intemperance
is bar to entering many responsible
positions. Information gathered from
the leading officials of forty-five rail-
roads, employing 200, 600 men, shows
that, without exception, the compa-
MES regard habitual drinking rs hurt
full to the efficiency Of the service, and
they forbid the use Of intoxicants to
employees while on duty. Fourteen
require total abstinence from intoxi-
cants for all men connected with train
service. Religious Telescope.

THEY MUST COME BACK.
Faculty determined to have the Stu
dents Back in Time--The Plan
adopted.

The faculty held special meeting
Thursday afternoon to consider some
matters connected with the end Of the
Fall Quarter and the beginning Of the
! Winter Quarter. 1t was decided to
consider Monday, January End, as
New Years day, and so make it q hol-
| iday. Registration and Manifestation
of students will take place, therefore,
on Tuesday, January 3rd, and the
first chapel exercise and the first reci-
tations of the Winter Quarter will be
held on Wednesday, January 4th.
Considerable trouble has been ex-
perienced because some students are
not prompt in getting back at the
beginning of the quarter In order to
get the students all back to begin
work with the first recitations of the
various classes, the faculty yesterday
passed the following order:
''In case of a student failing to re-
port to classes promptly at the begin
ming of quarter, the following rule
shall apply:
For less than one weeks absence
there shall be deduction from the
students average standing of two per
cent for each exercise missed; for alb
sence of one week or more there shall
be deduction of one-sixth of the
credit in that course for the quarter for
each week missed; such deduction in
standing or credit to be made by the
instructor.
Provided, that in case of new stu
dents, the deduction in course credit
only shall be made"
This means that a student who is
not present for the first recitation in
any study that he may take will have
his average standing in that study for
the entire term reduced per cent
If his class work and examinations
entitle him to standing of 90 per
cent it will be reduced to SO per cent.
because of his absence from the first
recitation, and if he is absent from
the first two recitations Of the term it
will be reduced to 81 per cent If a
student is absent the first week of the
quarter he will not receive credit for
the entire work of the quarter, but
will be credited with only flve-sixths
of course in each study.
These are rather severe penalties,
but the faculty feels that something
must be done to get the students here
on time. This rule will probably
have that effect.

CHIEF CLERK.
MonOngalia's Representative at the
Pen takes high rank at once.

Lieut.. Paul E Clifford who has
been taken to Moundsville for a
four years sentence has been desig-
mated as number COS. He has been
appointed as chief clerk Of the
prison.
He was asked by tue warden as
to what he could do and he replied
that he could do almost anything.
The warden asked him if he could
keep books and he found that
Clifford was graduate of business
college. The old clerk had served
his time out and was released few
days ago.
Clifford began his term in a place
where there will not be SO much
hard labor and where he can take
some pride in what he is doing.

Que Thousand Dollars Damage
Grounds for Reversal not Known.
The supreme court at it's last ses
sion handed down its opinion in the
case of Frank Barlickman vs. the
Marion Oil Company which went up
from this county. The decision re-
versed the finding in the lower court
and remanded it for new hearing.
The opinion was by Judge McWhor
ter
This case is the most costly that
ever went up from the county from
the number of expert witnesses and
the length of the record. 1t will
have to be tried over again and
when it is ended the original amount
in dispute will have been more than
covered several times over.
The case involves the liability Of
gas company to it's customers in
the way of protection from an over
supply of gas. Barrickman's fami
ly left the house one day and turned
the gas down very low. While they
were away the gas came on strong
and set the house on fire burning it
down.
Barriekman claimed that the com
pany was liable as they had failed
to supply regulator which would
cut off the extra supply of gas and
that it was their fault that the
house burned down.
The jury took the same view of
the case and gave him one thousand
dollars damage. The case was appeal
eddy the company and taken before
the supreme court.
The decision has just been made
and the case comes back for new
trial. The reasons for tue reversal
were not given and they may or may
not affect the merits of the case.
They may be on account OF the way
the declaration was drawn or a
thousand and one wrong things may
have accidentally been done during
the progress of the case The sylla-
bus Of the case is expected soon and
then the reasons will be known.

A DRUNKENNESS CURE.

General Kitchner is martinez in
the observance of rules, says writer
in London weekly, and is severe in
punishments. He comes down rather
heavily on drunkenness, and for this
reason has made himself to a certain
extent unpopular with some of his
soldiers. Rogers, his body servant, is
a teetotaller, which is an exceedingly
rare thing to find in the ranks of
Tommy Atkins. ssKitchener's cure
for drunkenness" is byword among
his men. Once taken, it is never for
gotten. The culprit is logged out in
full marching equipment, which is
matter Of 60 pounds, and is then com
PEELED to carry in each hand a bag of
shot weighing so pounds. A sergeant
and guard are put over the victim
to see that he does not stop walking
or drop the shot. A man is sometimes
kept at this ''shot drill" for six hours.

HE ISA CANDIDATE.
L. v. Keck enters the race for
Mayor
Tells what has induced him to come
out-Answers the questions asked In
communication to this paper-A
number Of matters discussed Plat
form will be given next week.


Mr.. L. V. Keck has given out the
following interview OF his attitude
toward the coming municipal elec
ton
Am | candidate for Mayor for
1899? Well, | have been asked this
question several times IN the past
few days, and to some | have said
that | might be, and to others, do
you wish me to be? It is at this time, a
very important position, and one
that will try the material Of the
next Mayor, as well as every mem
Der of the council, as every voter
knows, who has considered the con-
troversv new existing between the
Town and the Contractors for street
paving. Two years since we as
sumed the responsibility of trying to
remedy the mistake that occurred
on Walnut street, by the erection Of
the Dering building. That Difficult
ty Is nothing, compared with the
difference between the present coun-
Gil and the street PAYERS. This
trouble must be met, and the next
council must meet it.
Have / turned in as much to the
Treasurer as the Mayor before you,
or the one now in office?
| paid over to the Sergeant for
fines and jail fees 1898, which did
not include some fines that were
assessed and could not be collected.
The Mayor before me, ] think, re-
covered about SIS, and how much
the present Mayor has recovered for
the town, am unable TO say, but
would think, from the fines that
have come to my attention, less than
800.
Did ever put any one on bread
and water? No, and | never will,
because / do not think the laws of
humanity, as well as the constitu-
ton of the State, gives the Mayor
that privilege. Imprisonment is
surely enough, in addition to the
fine and costs.
Did I ever put any one back in
Jail until the fines and costs were
paid? Yes, two, buut all others, /
gave an opportunity to make the
the money, and pay the fines and
costs, which they they did, except
in two cases, and they can yet be
recovered.
viii be candidate for Mayor? /
am not afraid to make the fight, as
there is no disgrace in connection
with being candidate, ] hope. Be-
sides [ am anxious to know with
whom / will have to compete. II |
undertake the race, / will do all that
! can, honorably, to be elected, and /
am not apprehensive of the fidelity Of
my friends, either. Yes, / under
stand what | am expected to meet,
were it political fight, but politics
should not, and will not, come into a
election. shall next
week give to the public my decision
and platform, and leave the rest with
them.

OFFICERS ELECTED.
Athletic association at the Uni
versity selects its officials.

Contest over the foot ball captaincy-
Close vote cast-Lynne Osborne of
Clarksburg elected to the position
His record on the team-Crossland
manager-McGregor secretary =
Whitman manager and captain of
basket ball team.
The foot ball team held meeting
at the University on Friday afternoon
for the purpose of electing captain
for the ensuing year. Sixteen votes
were cast in the election
Lynne Osborne and Walter South
were placed in nomination and the
former was elected by the close vote
of nine to seven. The election was
then made unanimous by motion to
that effect.
Osborne the new captain is the
right man in the right place. He has
played on the team for several years
and has always been found faithful in
the discharge of every duty. He plays
end and is avery hard man to get around
at that position. During the early
part of the fall he was captain Of the
first regiment team and the organiza-
tion did not lose a game while be was
their leader. He will return to school
after Christmas.
After this meeting adjourned the
athletic association held a session to
elect officers for the next year. They
elected Fl. G. Grassland of New Haven
unanimously as manager Of the foot
ball team for next year. Grassland is
a very good man for the place and the
wisdom Of the choice will be shown
by what he does during the next sea-
son with the men. H. G. McGregor
was chosen secretary of the associa-
tion and G. r. Whitman was elected
manager and captain Of the basket
ball team.
All the men elected are fitted for
the positions they hold and the asso-
Citations have done we'll to elect them.
Everyone is determined to keep the
ball rolling and the next year will be
the most successful in the history of
athletics at the institution.

Temperance sentiments are mani
testify growing in the army. The
number of the leading officers who
have spoken out against the ''canteenn
has been most gratifying. The latest
from whom we have heard is General
Wheeler, who says:
81 am thorough believer of tenn
perance in all things and utterly OPP
posed to soldiers being sold intoxiea-
ting liquors, and | believe that every
effort should be exercised to remove
the temptation Of such dissipation
from them. You must recollect that
all men are human, and if we cannot
make everything perfect we must
make it as nearly perfect as possible. y

A UNIQUE NEW YORK BLOCK.

Before the Mills Hotel opened in
New York City, d. o. Mills, its
founder, stipulated that no liquors
should be sold in any of the stores in
the block, and in spite of numerous
offers of twice and three times the
rental asked for the stores, this re-
striction has been rigidly enforced,
and there is at least one city block in
the crowded resident districts south
of Washington square in which there
is no saloon.

Thousands of Big Mouth Bass.

1t was stated today by well-known
angler that thousands Of big mouth bass
are being taken from the river near Four
Mile run. One day last week he said, COO
pounds of fish were taken at a single haul.
He said the nets were being operated from
the shore of the premises occupied by the
Virginia Rod and Gun Club. These men,
he had ascertained. haul between Raubs
and Dangerfelds points, in the waters OF
Virginia. and not the District
The only way to stop this slaughter OF
the fish, he said, is for the club mentioned
to prohibit the use of the shore bordering
on it's premises. Should this work continue
all winter, the angler regretfully said Il
will have demoralizing effect on angling
next summer.
