IN CASE OF WAR.
General Appleton Can Put 1000
Men IN the Field,
Charleston f5ayeffa


"How many men could West Vir-
ginia put in the field at once, in case
of war with Spaing" asked Gazette
reporter of Adjutant General Apple
ton yesterday after noon.
"We have replied the general,
''about thousand men, armed and
equipped, who could be called into
service on a few hours notice. With
in the next few days we will aEJhave
in the service a battery of artillery
consisting of 225 men and several
field pieces. This battery will have
for its captain an old artillery man
from Washington, and among the
men will be many who have served
before in the artillery. They are all
enthusiastic and | expect excellent
service from them. y
The general said that should gen.
eral call be made upon the State fol-
troops he could furnish 5000 men In

TO Iiny new Piano.

At a meeting OF the members of
the Baptist church lately held, it was
decided to buy piano for the
church. The instrument is to be a
very good one and its cost is not to
exceed three hundred dollars. A
committee has been appointed to
make the purchase. 1t may be some
little time before the instrument can
be selected and placed in position.
Nine of the members present at the
meeting agreed to give five dollars
each toward the piano and the rest
of the money can be readily raised.
Two members were received into
the church by letter. Both of these
are students. One of them is A. l..
Swartzwclder and the other one is a
brother of Mr.. McCutcheen. This
brings the number of recent acces-
cesions to the church up to fourteen
which is very gratifying showing.

Mr. Morel8nd who is the owner
of the present postofilce building has
submitted proposition to enlarge

He has enlarged it several times

proposition to erecta suitable build

from Pittsburg where he has been
in attendance on the meeting of the
National Brick makers association
While in the city Mr.. Williams
made it point to go and see both
the architect and the heater man
about the new public school build
ing. He went after them rather Sc
verely for the delay that they have
caused by their slowness and scored
them for the way they have done the
things put in their charge.
They acknowledged that they had
been too slow but said that they
would at once get to work and finish
the work given them. Mr. Badger
representing the Smead-Wills heat.
ing company said that in a few days
he woeld have the plans and speciii-
cations for the heaters finished and
in tLe hands Of the architect. He in
turn lid that within two days OF
the time he got these he would have
the plans and specifications OF the
building done and would forward
them at once to Mr.. Lazzelle.
So it seems from what they say
that within a week or so the plans
will be here and the board will be in
position to advertise for bids and
let the contract. However there may
not be anything in what they say
The architect promised the plans in
the first place within a month and
he has not sent them yet. 1t might
be good idea on the part of the
board to get together and without
telling him of their determination to
give him certain length of time
to finish the plans and if they are
not forthcoming then to fire him and
get some one who will do the work
and do it in reasonable length Of
time There is no use fooling as
longer with him. The work demands
immediate attention and the archi-
tect should not be allowed to further
DELAY it,

the production Of the play would not
