A local sportsman some weeks ago
wrote to man In one of the back
counties making inquiry as to the
opportunity for hunting deer and
other game in that section. The
reply went astray in the mails and
after a long time his answer has been
received. 1.-THE fellow seems to be
sort of a sarcastic fellow" said the
hunter, 'sfor he answered me this
way: Dear Sir-In the season a
deer or two can usually be purchas-
ed in this town. l presume that is
what you want to know, as it is the
sort of information regarded as most
important by Morgantown hunters
who come here to stalk deer. Yours

Guy Hrcs.' Minstrels.

Tie jackson, Mich. Courier of re
cent date says OF them:
This superb company held the
boards at the Hibbard last evening
and it was the universal Verdict that
this is the very best minstrel troupe
that has visited jackson in many a
day. Each member of the company
is an artist in his line. The compa
ny CAME here comparatively unher
aided, possibly the fault Of it's press
agent, and the character of the per
for nance last night was an agreea-
BILE surprise to those present. The
Guy Bros. have too good company
to allow remissness in the way OF
advertising. Should they see fit to
make another date for jackson this
season, or at any time in the future,
they can rest assured that crowd
ed house will greet them. The Cour
Ter takes pleasure in stating the fact
that there is not mediocral feature
in their entertainments. There is also
an entire absence of alleged wit, Dor
dering. on vulgarity. They will
appaar at the Opera House, in Nor

BUCKHANN0N, w. Va, Jan. A.
Rev. B. w. Hutchinson, president OF
the Conference Seminary Of the Meth
odlst Episcopal church, at this place,
last night rendered. his resignation
to the executive committee, in order
to accept the presidency of the Gen
esee Wesleyan Seminary, at Lima, N.
Y. The resignation was accepted
and President Hutchinson will sever
his connection with the schee! here
about March l.. No successor will be
elected, probably until the June meet
ing of the board of trustees and until
then Vice President Frank B. Trotter
will have charge, as acting president.
President Hutchinson has been at
the head of the school since, its in
ception in 1890, and has been very
successful in its management. The
school has steadily grown until it
stands as the second school in the
state, the state University alone be-
ing larger. At present the faculty
includes twelve teachers and the en-
rollment last year was 343, and this
year there has been gain o. fifteen
or twenty more over that of last year.
In its course of study and grade of
work it surpasses any other school of
secondary instruction of West Vir-
ginia, and the outlook for the spring
term, which begins March 9, is more
encouraging thar ever before.

BACK TO CHILDHOOD DAYS
Goes Mr.. Cores memOry-A touching
Letter from Brother to a sister.


A few days ago we published notice
of the celebration of the seth anniversa-
ry of the marriage Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
ton Core, of Cassville, this county, and
the assembling Of their children at the
old home on that occasion.
VIM. P. Core, one Of the sons who re-
sides at Boothsville, was unable to at
tend and wrote his sister Mrs. Cordray
the following letter:
DEAR SISTER I'm answer to your
note l will say that while we would be
glad to meet with you we find it impos-
sihle to do SO as the roads are bad, the
weather uncertain and our meeting is
going on. so we cannot leave home, but
| am sure we would enjoy the gathering
very much.
The fifty-sixth anniversary OF our par
ents' marriage. the long number Of
years they have been travelling together
no doubt seems short to them, just as
Ours do when we look back to the days
of our childhood, and when we are car
ried back in memory to those days and
think of our pleasures and sorrows as
we thought of them then and remember
the times when We thought our parents
harsh; what a different lesson years of
experience have taught us Did we have
those years to live over again we would
rot give them so many heart aches,
would not be so thoughtless as then
but those years are gone forever and all
that is left for us is to try to forget them
and hope that our parents may forget
them and only remember the things
that tend to strengthen the bonds of
love and sympathy that bind parents
and children and brothers and sisters

Dayton,s Bill Flourishing.

The prospects are that the com.
mittee on judiciary which has Day
tons bill to divide the state into two
judicial districts will make favora
BILE report to the house. They are
favocably impressed by the people who
have already appeared before them
and the representatives of the bar as.
ISOLATION which adopted very strong
resolutions in its favor at their meet
ing here will add to this feeling. The
state will be divided and the plan is,
if Mr. Dayton gets the frozen NIT
from the convention or voters of the
district and loses his job as congress-
man he will have soft place to light.
At least this is what is being claimed
by some Republican newspapers.

Fairmont Women to make organized

ling In their I0uu


Fairmont has q law and or Ter So
ciety composed of the very best wo-
men of the city and they have de-
clared war on all forms of lawless-
ness in which liquor selling is part.
They are determined that the houses
of ill-fame with which the town is
infested must go. They will confer
with the proper authorities about
the enforcement of the law and will
endeavor in that way to rid the
community of the pest The papers
up there say that the inmates of the
houses are so bold that they ply
their trade on the streets in daylight
and have become active in trying to
get recruits for the Illicit traffic from
the town. So intolerable has it be-
come that it cannot be stood any
longer and the women are going to
put stop to the thing if it can be
done. Mrs. Jennie Engle. wife of
the presiding elder Of Clafksburg
district, was chosen as chairman and
Mrs. Fannie Amos was selected as
secretary. A committee composed
of Mrs. W. R. White, Mrs. B. l..
Butcher and Miss Kate Ebert were
appointed to wait on the officials and
to act with them in suppressing the
things they are after.

The Greatest of Humorists,

Melville d. Landon { Eli Perkins,
the great humorist lecturer will give
his lecture in Commencement Hall,
Thursday evening, on "The Philoso-
ply of Wit and Humor." Such peos
pie as James Russell Lowell and
Francis Willard have spoken of him
in the very highest terms and ev
cry one should avail himself of this
opportunity to hear this great hui
morist and profound lecturer.
He enjoys an international repu-
tation as writer and is gaining a
great name as a modern lecturer.
He never fails to please his audience
and the universal sentiment is that
he is the greatest of all humorists.

David L. Luke, general manager of
the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Com
pany, at Luke, this county, which
has the government postal card con-

Cumberland for alleged Potomac river
pollution is stopped he will be COM
PEELED to accept one of the many in
vitations he is receiving to locate
elsewhere. He says his company is
in no degree responsible for the con-
ditions complained of at Cumberland.
The case decided adversely at Fred
erick has been appealed.
Grafton and Clarksburg have made
bona tide offers for the removal of the
plant. The fixtures of the postal
card factory at Castleton, N. Y,
which has been closed, have been
transferred 70 the new factory at

Banded Together for spofls.

The country is treated to the edify-
ing spectacle OF renewed attack on
the civil service law made by repre-
sentatiyes who are angry because OF
their inability TO obtain all the pat
ronage to which they think they are
eatitled. 1t is expected that the
house will devote a couple Of weeks OF
its more or less valuable time to rum
ming debate on motion to strike the
civil service item from the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. In the end the proposition will
be defeated, because the enemies OF
civil service reform In the two
parties are not united as to the adj
visibility of crippling the civil service
commission in this undetermined way.
Many favor bill either repeating the
law or amending it radically Such
propositions are already before com.

tiyes who are in rebellion againet the

icy. 1t is over the measure favored
by the committee that the real hattie
of the session will come. unless the

NEW PLAN
Dam Number ten Will be built
Of Stone and Cement.
Rngine and Crusher arrive and are be-
ing put in Place on the West Side
Large Quarry being Opened-Stone
will begin to be Crushed in a few
Days How the Dam will be Built.

Days How the BAN will be Built.
To day the stone crusher and en-
CINE which is to operate it were tax
en- across the river to the bottom
formerly owned by Josie Kinkaid
where they will be set up at once.
The work was done by Frank Pride
und Gel Carraco and was one OF CON
siderable difficulty. One of the
pieces to be moved weighed 10000
and the other tipped the beam at 4
800.
Workmen will go to work at once
to set the crusher up and the work
OF crushing will begin within a few
days. There are fifteen men work
ing on the quarry and they have
opened a very large one from which
all the stone for number ten will be
taken. New men will be put in the
quarry as fast as room can be made
for them and the amount of stone
gotten out will be very large.
The construction of number ten
will be different from any other dam
on the river 1t will be made of
crushed stone and cement and the
work can be done with much greater
speed than the old way of building
them Of cut stone. A layer of stone
will be placed in position and then
layer Of cement will be placed on
it. This will continue until the dam
is finished when it will be one solid
piece of masonry. The cost will be
very much reduced and the work
can be done very much faster than
in the old way.
1t is claimed that the result is
just as satisfactory as far as utility
and strength are concerned so that
the new way has far and away the
advantage of the old. 1t is new
plan and the result will be watched
with a good deal Of interest. The
real work of construction will pot
begin for some time yet however as
the weather is too variable until
spring opens for good.
