THE CONTRACT LET.
]. ]. Wharton has the contract
for building the new Falling
Run Bridge.

The structure is to go up at once-It
will be foot wider, six feet higher,
fifty feet longer than the present
one-T0 be ainted aud fixed mp
nicely steel yiaduct is the dream
of a nnmber-Some wanted il this
time but it will go up for sure In
seven more years.
j. J. Wharton has the contract
for the new bridge over Falling Run
in the upper end of the University
campus. The material is being
hauled into place and the work on
the structure will be commenced as
soon as the weather will permit.
The new bridge will be much bet
ter than the old one which now oc
cupies the place. 1t will be foot
wider, six feet higher and fifty feet
longer than the present one. At the
same time it will look better also
Every piece that goes into it will
be dressed and painted. The best
of Spruce will be used in the con
struction and the bridge is expected
to last for seven years.
The walks at either end will be
raised and single steps put in where
needed making the walks level in
stead of slanting the way they do at
present The bridge is built with
subscriptions taken up among the
residents of Sunnyside and the eoun
Gil of Seneca appropriated one hun
dred dollars toward the improve
ment.
By the time that the new bridge
is worn out they expect to have a
steel viaduct placed over the stream
and they have every hope to carry
out this plan Should the town
grow in the next seven years as it
has in the last during which the
present foot bridge has stood where
it is there is no doubt about the via
duct plan being a success. When it
comes Sunnyside will have still more
reasons for being a mecca for people
who want homes in a quiet place.
Some of the people interested wanted
a viaduct attempted this time but
after a survey of the situation it was
decided that the conditions prevail
ing does not justify such a move and
that it would more than likely end
in failure so it was abandoned. 1t
will be carried out eventually how
ever.

An act of Vandalism.

An alumnus of the University call
ed the attention Of this paper to an
act of vandalism which he said was
being committed on the campus of
the University. The Falling Run
which curves so beautifully through
the farther end of the campus and to-
gether with the little bottoms along
its course make the most beautiful
part Of the campus was being destroy
ed. A straight ditch was being dug
through and the waters instead of
being allowed to follow their natural
bent making beautiful and pictur-
esque scene must flow as the powers
that be direct. Every old student
and alumnas as well as everyone who
has the slightest appreciation for the
beautiful will be extremely sorry to
hear Of this and will not entertain the
best of feelings for those who are re-
sponsitle for the change.

Died.
ever.

HARRIs-Died Nov. %, 1898 at
his home near ArnetDsville Robert L.
Harris aged about 30 years. Deceas-
ed had been afflicted with fever sey-
eral weeks. In obedience to his re-
quest he was buried by the side of his
mothers departed relatives in Penn
sylvania. He was one of the most
intelligent young men of Monongalia
county and will be sadly missed by
many who appreciated his candor,
honesty and frankness. He was one
of the few who sought for the truth
caring little for the stupid theories
of the ignorant. 'Tis sad to reflect
that one so brave and generous will
never greet us again. Farewell,
dear friend, your loving heart has
ceased to beat, your busy brain is
still but long will you live in the
light of memory's bright star.
AMHERST.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

In the game of life, when Love
deals, hearts are trumps; when Death
deals, it is spades.
By the time man has heard all
one woman knows about another
woman he is generally sure that he
likes the other best.
No woman can ever put down a
carpet when there is another woman
there, because she has to hold the

Every man would get married If
he thought he had money enough,
and every woman would get married
If some man thought she had brains

information received here last night it
was learned that the scheme of the
republicans in Randolph county to
count out the two recently elected
members of the House of Delegates
from that delegate district, has failed,
and they are found to be elected by a
safe majority. The recount on the
other offices still continues, however

Mnch one-leggedness.

Wade Hampton, a negro murderer
in Georgia, killed one-legged man
like himself, was accused by a one
legged coroner, tried by a one-footed
judge, and hanged by one-legged

not the victim Of one-legged justice.

What They Did at Cumberland.

The Wills Comedy Company was at
Cumberland on Thanksgiving and
here is what the Daily Times of that
city says Of them:
Frank M. Wills company of players
held the boards at the Academy of
Music yesterday afternoon and last
night and delighted two large audi
ences. The comedy presented was the
sparkling travesty on social life at the
seashore and entitled ssIn Atlantic
City"
The play is not new to Cumber-
landers, and Mr.. Wills, as the honest,
bluff and simple hearted retired
brewer was as funny as ever, and in
PRODUCED some new business, which
was highly appreciated. The ;'coon"
songs by Miss Estelle Wills aud the
dancing Of the three Helston sisters
were very pleasing diyertments, while
all the specialities. were good and per-
fecJly refined
Miss Emma Seigle Wills, who took
the part Of Rose, is second little
Lolita and shared the honors with the
star. She is never still moment
and fairly bubbles over with merri-
ment, which seems to be perfectly
natural and unaffected She has a
saucy, piquant face, nimble feet and
pretty voice; she is also young and has
a bright future before her.
Mr.. j. B. Wills made dashing
Charley, and the little sketch acted
by him and his sister Miss Estella was
very droll and well received. The
balance of the cast was competent
Tonight the same company will pre-
sent "Sweethearts and Wives" a
musical comedy entirely new here.
They will appear at the Opera
House in Morgantowu tonight and
tomorrow night Nov. Goth and 30th.
Speaking of we'll preserved women.
Lots wife was probably the best of the
assortment.
Some men, like some fences, don't
amount to much until they get gait
on them.
The man who acts contrary to his
wife's advice and fails, never hears the
last of it.
A successful physician is one who is
appreciated by his patients for what
they think he did for them.

thing is going to be unpopular before
the fiat-footed public jumps all over
it.

The week OF prayer was observed at
the Presbyte: ian church and many
persons attended The different min.
listers in town took turn about in con-
Quoting the services, in which much
interest was manifested. The last
meeting was held Sunday right, when
Rev. 7. H. Campbell preached 1t is
regretted that the Indictment weather
prevented large number from hear
ing this sermon, as it was, indeed, q
timely one. The speaker was on the
subject of this going to church en-
Sunday and being mean and indulg-
ing in rascality through the week.
He scored ''dress parade religion"
severely and touched up the Sunday
Only" christian in a manner in which
such hypocrites should be. There is
no class of beings on earth for whom
we have a greater contempt than those
who 60 to church Sundays with long
faces, bawl out gospel hymns with
the grace of scrub calf, and then
spend the remaining six days of the
week trying to beat and run down
other people. Such people have an
overwhelming mai ,rity in perdition.

by pricing open a shutter. The house

that has been missed. The table in
the dining room showed that the
thieves also partook of a good lunch.
The residence OF w. Il. Mason was al
so entered. kegs" clothes were TAX

and a lamp lighted which the parties
left burning.

A Tempest in a Tea Pot.

1t was reported on Wednesday that
the County Judges Office was vacant
because Circuit Clerk Hamilton, refus-
ed to accept Judge R. A. Burnsides'
bond, on the ground that it was offer
ed too late, the statute requiring it to
be made on the first Monday in Janu-
airy. The report created quite a sem
satiOn and the p-.rties mentioned and
county attorney Owsley. went to STAN
ford to con 'er with Judge Saufiey. We
understand that he advised the clerk
to accept the bond if the parties sign
ing it were good, and there was no
question about that. The bond had
been signed several days and the Judge
had neglected to offer it to the clerk.
1t is said that Judge Saufiey said
that there is a conflict between the
constitution and the law requiring the
bond to be made on the first Monday;
that no one could declare the office
vacant without proper legal proceed
ings, in which the question would be
involved, and that he could hold I'M
der his old bond until another had
been given. Whether or not we have
been correctly informed on these opin-
ions, he is still county judge and is
likely to remain so unless a vacancy
occurs by death or resignation. All
sorts of rumors were afoat. the breez-
es ran high, but the storm has subsi-
ded and calm prevails over the
troubled waters.
We do not object to the use of all
proper means to secure an election. by
either party, but we do doubt the pro-
priety of removing men, who have
been elected and qualified. on mere
technicalities 1t Is true that the
bond should have been filed sooner,
but it does not seem that this alone
should disqualify the officer. as. we
learn, the higher courts have decided.
We do not blame the young clerx for
seeking information on the subject
