TO RETAIN PORTO RICO.
The Island Will Always Remain United
States Possession, as May the
LadrOne Islands,

Washington, July 22.-The authori-
tative declaration was made yesterday
that the Island of Porto Rico is to be
held as permanent possession Of this
country as the price of the war. The
subjoined practically official statement
was made to the press:
Porto Rico will be kept by the
United States. That is settled and has
been the plan from the first. Once
taken, it will never be released. 1t will
pass forever into the hands of the
United States, and there never has been
any other thought. Its possession will
go toward making up the heavy ex-
penses of war to the United States.
Our flag, once run up there, will float
over the island permanently"
The same authority says the future
Of the Philippines Is a matter of de-
velopment. and that so far there is no
certain policy finally adopted regard
ing those islands, They are subject to
developments in the war situation in
the Pacific. 1t was intlmated, however,
though not definitely asserted, that the
Ladrone islands might follow the fate
of Porto RISs2 and become our pcrma-
nent possession, being valuable as a
coalng and supply station for our
ships when en- route to eastern ASIA

AID az ~taikps a stone.

Yesterday rsef. ing when the
sectioh hands under Foreman
Santee were going to their work they
made a discovery which probably
prevented bad passenger wreck.
When passing Rus5c.l's siding at the
pump station the ear struck some
thing with great force. Their din
ner buckets and tools were sent
dying IN every direction and the men
were quite badly shaken up. They
found a stone tightly wedged be
tween the switch and the main rail
and removed it. This was what had
thrown them off. Had the passenger
train struck it there would have been
wreck and the consequences might
have been very serious. Whether the
stone was placed there on purpose or
had gotten there by accident of
course could not be told.

Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
of I'VE olden time as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner Of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, cumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that so few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
ly the older members of the profess
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
a thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact | have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work sright, and you will
be more than pleased.

New seats for Chapel Hall.

Workmen are engaged in putting
the rest of the seats in chapel hall
which are required to seat that
building at the University. The
hall has been seated down stairs for
several years and the seats now be-
ing put in are going into the gallery.
The number required to seat it is
about three hundred. This gives
the hall a seating capacity of nearly
thousand, which is the greatest
number which can be seated any
where in the town.

BASE BALL MANAGER.
The Election was Postponed until next

The election of base ball mana
ger for the approaching season was
to have taken place at the Uuiversi
ty to day but for some reason was
postponed until next Friday when
it will be held without fail The
reason for electing manager is a
very good one and one that was good
even before the holidays. The man
ager should already have his
schedule made out 50 that the team
could get some good dates before
they are all taken.
The election will likely be very
exciting one as there are three can
didates and their friends will do ev-
cry thing in their power to land
their favorites as winner. There
are three avowed candidates and the
manager will be selected from the
number. They are Leon Friedman,
of Braddock, W. J. Bruner, of
Wheeling, and r. w. Heavier, of
Buckhannon, and their chances are
said by those in position to know
are in the same order Bruner how
ever is rapidly developing strength
and may wind up "a winner when the
votes are counted 1t is claimed that
the election was delayed to day in
order that his claims might be bet
ter presented to the student body.

DAYTON'S DECISION
That He will be a Candidate for
denomination made after
Deliberation.
And His Declaration is Made Now so
that there may be no Misunderstand-
Ing whateyer--if Another Republican
Is nominated he will give Him His
Earnest and Cordial support.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan 6.--Rep-
resentative Dayton has authorized
the statement that he will be can
didate for denomination to Congress
from the Second West Virginia dis
trict. Mr.. Dayton has reached this
conclusion, he says, only after
most careful deliberation, and he
makes the announcement now in
order that there may be no misun-
derstanding whatever, as to his po-
sition. lie says it is his desire that
the field may be considered as open
to all aspirants for the honor He
makes this declaration, not because
he considers it necessary as pre-
cedent to that condition, but merely
to assure his fellow citizens that
should it be their pleasure to name
some one else, that one shall have
his earnest support from the inccp-
ton to the close of the campaign
Mr.. Dayton's personal preference
has been to return to the practice of
his profession, and to give it his I'M
divided attention. His purpose to
do so was made known to his close
friends just after the election of 1896
and even earlier, but he does not
want to seem to be ungrateful to his
friends nor indifferent to the de
mands of his friends, and he has
yielded to their urgent solicitations
and reconsidered.
The Second district representative
has received many written and per-
sonally presented requests for pub
lie announcement Of his candidacy.
Scarcely a day passes that his mail
does not include several such COM
munications emanating from all sec
tions of the district. Few members
of the house have been more honored
in this respect.
81 am willing to serve the people
again, IL they choose TO re-elect me"
said Mr.. Dayton, to the Intelligencer
correspondents, ''but ! shall stand in
no other Republicans path to OBJ
struct him. Shall be re-nominated
/ shall, of course want the aid OFFS
every voter who values good govern
ment, and should another Repub-
lican be named, | shall want all such
voters to give him cordial and undi-
vided support. My record is before
the people, and / have nothing to con-
ceal. Let the people decide"

Hot One-The Officers Elected and
the Platform.
When the votes were counted on
the school board election the result
was as had been predicted by this
paper. The old school board was de-
feated with the exception Of Fitch
who beat his nearest competitor by
the narrow margin of 81 votes. He
ran 6S votes ahead of his colleague
who came the closest to him. Had
his friends not worked like beavers
for him he would have been defeated
along with the rest. His election is a
proof of his very great popularity
with the voters Of the district.
The vote was quite heavy, consider
ing the beastly state of the weather.
The fight was very warm one and
every voter was approached as he went
to cast his ballet by the friends of the
rival candidates. Many of the men
who voted on the school board did not
vote on the town ticket as it was GER
tain of election. A number of votes
which were cast for the various candi-
dates were not counted as the men
received votes on different terms on
the board. In such cases of course
these could not be consolidated and
the highest for any term was the one
which was accredited TO him Bailey
iii particular lost heavily on this as
he was voted for for both five years
and one year, but in spite of this loss
he was elected to the one year term.
The board which has been elected
will not take charge of affairs until
July. We believe it will prove to
be very good board as the men who
compose it are fine men for the posi-
tions. The outside district should
find no cause for complaint as they
have two members of the board and
they cant well ask for more than
that.
The announcement of the vote was
awaited with good deal of interest
and from the first showed how the
fight was going. The first hundred
showed the winners and they finished
in the same order except that Picken-
paugh beat Fitch out after tying with
him on the first hundred. The total
number of votes cast were 400.
The number of votes received by
each candidate was as follows, the
first five being elected:
FAIRCHILD, 425, for three years.
BROCK, 324, for five years.
BAILEY, 298, for Que year; 10S
for five years.
PICKENPAUGH, $50, for years
FITCH, $50, for two years.

LAZZELLE, $50, for four years.

Tie in the Council.

Tie in the Conncil.
South Morgantown also held a con-
vention and nominated candidates
for town officers, but they also had a
very lively time over the nominations.
The convention was a very warm one
and three ballets were required to
nominate the ticket which was pub
lished in this paper some days ago.
W. L. Coombs was a candidate for
reelection after having served for
several terms. There was hot fight
made against him but the rest of the
ticket went through without Difficult
ty. Mr.. McGara, the candidate who
came under the wire ahead of him,
was a nominee for council and four
others were voted on to FIJI the yacan-
cy with the result that there is tie
between Jack Madagan and Jefferson
Smith for the office. Smith says he
won't serve, so that leaves Madagan in
peaceable possession of the office.
The fight on the mayoralty was a
personal one and no issues of town
government were involved. The field
was strongly canyassed and every vote
was cast that was present in the
town. Several Of the voters were
away on the pipe line but every one
in the town voted. The vote on each
man WAS.
