How 10 Look Coed.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on
q healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver be inactive
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach be disordered, you have
a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
be affected, you have pinched
look. Secure coed health, and
you will surely have good looks.

ANOTHER CALL is COMING.
1t may ask for rso. 900 Men.
President thinks we have misealculated
the Number needed in Cuba and
Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 1.-The
President will issue early next week
third call for troops. The exact
number to be called for has not been
determined, but there seems to be
no doubt that at least 100000 will
be invited to enlist.
The War Department estimates
that $4,000 troops will be needed in
Santiago province, 125,000 in Ha-
vana province, 10000 in Cienfuegos
and vicinity, 10000 in Porto Rico
and 10000 in the Philippines. A
reserve force of 100,000is held essen
tial for retention in this country.
The President is convinced that
the estimates of American strength
needed for subjugating Cuba have
been short. He has been much inn
pressed with Skaters experience in
Santiago, and assumes that the con
ditions existing there will be found
to prevail in other parts Of the coun-
try
Camara's trip to the Philippines
necessitates a much larger Ameri-
can force there than was originally
expected. Merritt's troops will have
to be divided, so that every point Of
Importance will be under his con
troll. In addition must be reckon
ed the 10000 men needed for the oc-
cupation Of the Canaries. The army
is now 10000 strong.

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS.
Questions in Arithmetic Used by Supt.
Porter Of Fayette.

The following problems in Arith-
metic were used by County Superin-
tendent E. f. Porter in the teachers
examination held at Uniontown or
Saturday last:
~ How far does a man walk,
while planting field of corn, 285 feet
square, the rows being feet apart
and feet from the fence?
CD A train passes Is telegraph
poles per minute. If the distance be-
tween the poles is 60 yards, at what
rate per hour is the train going?
3D. The quotient of two Nos dimin
ished by l6, is so; if smaller is ~, what
is the larger?
a. A lady wishes to carpet,
length-wise, a room, 143 feet long,
by II feet wide, with brussels carpet,
/ Of yard wide, at S1.25 per yard.
What will be the cost, allowing Is
inches waste TO each strip, for match
ing?
o. The amount of a certain prin-
ciple for certain time at 4 per cent,
is 1919. and at s per cent, is 1888;
find the principle and time.
(6.) AS land is one-seyenth less
in quantity than BIS, but one TWEEN
tieth better in quality. How dc
their farms compare in value?
a. Divide the sum OF six thous-
ands and six mlllionths by their
difference to six decimal places.
(S.) C's retail gain is 123 per cent,
and his retail price is Is per cent
more than his wholesale price; what

CHANGED HANDS.
The Postoffice is now under a
New Administration.

The new Postmaster DIR. Fitch has ia
ken charge of the office-it win be
under the direct supervision Of DR..
Hall-M. L. Brown and j. l.. Whar-
/ ton are ASsistants-The Old Post
master was a very capable and Eff
I cient One--The 0ffiee is in splendid
Condition-Large increase in Busi-
ness.
The postoffice has changed hands.
I The old postmaster's four years term
| expired yesterday aud he has given it
over to the new one. Uncle Joe Whar-
ton has retired in favor of DR.. j. p.
Fitch. The latter has placed DR.. j..
j. Hall in the office as assistant and
has retained j. L. Wharton as one of
the clerks. NJ. l.. Brown has been Sc
cured as the other one. This force
will try to run the office and from the
personel of the force it will undoubt-
edly remain at the high standard of
efficiency that has always characterized
the Morgantown postoflice. The duties
Of the place are familiar to all but
Mr.. Brown but he will soon grow ac-
customed to his duties and will soon
be completely at home. No noticeable
delay in the dispatching and distri-
button of mail occurred today and the
force is apparently where it has al
ways been.
The retiring postmaster has left
nothing undone that he could do to
make the Office a real convenience.
He has always been uniformly polite
and accommodating this being the
strong point insisted on in the Office
under him. He has made many i'm
provements in the place since he took
charge Of it and the steady increase
in the business has found him ready
TO cope with it. The Sunday opening
Of the Office and other innovations
were introduced by him and the pub
lie appreciate his services.
The new in6umbents will be hard
put to maintain the stardard which
has been set for them but that they
will do so is foregone conclusion.
The postoffice inspector is authority
for the statement that no office of the
size in the United States has increased
SO much in business in the past eigh-
teen months and that but few Of
them were run any better The old
postmaster conducted the office in a
first class manner.

BOTH PIECES.
The Cannon From the University has
Been Shipped-One Goes to Fair
mont and the Other to KingM0od.

Both the brass pieces at the Uni
versity will spend the Fourth away
from home and have been shipped
One of them will go to Kingwood
where it will awaken the echoes on
that day and call out the company
of home guards which was SO enthu-
siastically formed there some time
ago. The other will go to Fairmont
Earl Smith will have charge Of the
detachment which is to fire the last
named one and James Lazier will go
with the other one. Several of the
boys from here will go to Kingwood
and they are assured Of a most ele-
CANT time by the people over there
who are renowned for their hospital
ity.
The celebration in Fairmont grows
bigger every day and the chances are
that part of it will have to be sent
up to Warrington as the town will
not be big enough to hold it. Man
nington already expects as much and
has been advertising number Of the
things which are to be kept at Fair
mont. The oil center says that they
are to be given there.

WORK AGAIN RESUMED.
Brick Laying is Being done on
the School Building.

Nearly Score of men are Mt Work.
They will finish the brick work in
Eight weeks-No further delay is to
be Expected nor is it Wanted-It viii
be the First of the Year before the
Building is ready for Occupancy.
The work will be badly Hampered by
this Fact-The People OF the District
are not at all Pleased By this fact as
They can see no Reason for all the
Delays that have taken Place-The
Building should have been done this
Fall.
Brick laying is going on in earn
est on the school building. The Sc
lection of brick has been made and it
is to be obtained from the Fair
chance company. The color of the
brick is to be buff. One car load
has come in and the rest will be
shipped as it is wanted. There is
to be no delay on the building as far
as that is concerned. Ten men are
at work laying brick aud these with
their helpers and others on the job
number eighteen men. Several of
these are Morgautown people and the
rest are from other points.
The contractor in charge of this
part of the work says that he is go
ing to waste no time and that his
part of it will be done in eight
weeks. This will take good healthy
hustle but he says that he can do
the trick and what is more will do
it.
OF course everyone is glad to see
the work start off like it was to be
finished sometime instead of stand
ing forever with nothing apparently
being done to get ready for the chill
dren. However they will have to
wait for while yet before they can
get into the building as those who
are in a position to know say that it
will be the first Of the year before
the building will be ready for school
purposes.
This will not be very welcome news
to the people Of the district who had
hoped that the children could be
gotten into the new building by the
first of October. 1t will necessitate
the renting of rooms for a part of
the year and in consequence the
work of the teachers and the pupils
also will be badly hampered The
people of the district want to see the
building finished with no further de
lay and they hope that twill be done.
They cannot see why all the delay
that has occurred has taken place
and they fail to see how anyone has
been benefited by it.
The new school board are dis
posed to hustle things and they will
see to it that there is further delay
or stoppage in the work until it is
completed.

OLD OUT-NEW In.
The Old School Board Gives Way to the
New One-The Election of Officers
and Teachers Next Week.

The old school board has finished
up its work and turned over the af-
fairs Of the independent district to
their Successors. There were but
three Of them left as two had resigned
some time previously. One of these
DR.. Fitch is member of the new
board having been reelected at the
election in January.
Several nights were required to
finish up the work and the gentlemen
of the board had to get hustle on.
They have paid all the claims against
them and everything was cleaned up
before the affairs were turned over
to the new board. The old members
were [. G. Lazzelle, Il. b. Williams
and DIR. j P. Fitch.
The new board consists of Dr. Fitch,
Col. A. Fairchild, w. H. Baily, r.
Pickenpaugh and DIR. L. S. Brock.
They are required by law to organize
and elect the teachers on the first
Monday in July but that being the
Fourth they will not do it. The first
meeting will be held on the next day
when they will organize and elect
city superintendent. The election Of
teachers will take place at a later
date. Few changes if any are expect
ed. The work of the old force of
teachers has been eminently satisfac-
tory and the board will retain them
is the general opinion.

OFFICERS MISS THEIR TRAIN.


Capt Jack Arnold and Lieut..
kunst, of the Weston company of the
I'd regiment which passed through
here Tuesday afternoon had quite
an experience here with some young
men Of their company who had be-
come panicky and attempted to de
sert. The latter furnished consider
able amusement to crowd that had
assembled at the b. a. O. r. Il. depot
to witness the departure of the sol
diers. One Of them broke ranks
and skated up Second street, follow
ed by squad who captured him at
the livery stable on the corner of
Second and Juliana streets. Just
before the train started another fell
low broke and ran and the two Off
GERS went in search of him. While
they were out ON the hunt the train
started without them. They got
abroad the next train, however, and
got through all notwithstanding

A Newspaper Chance.

Ed. e. Merdiith who has done so
much to make the Falrmont Index
the splendid local paper it is, has
bought half the Expositor from the
present owner G. w. L. Mayors of

take charge of that paper. He is
one of the best newspaper men in the

are with him in the undertaking.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

Fifteen hundred troops have
arrived to reinforce Shafter
at Santiago coming in on the
Hazard.
The second expedition from
Tampa is believed to be un=
der way and more troops are
to be sent at once from the
same point.
Camaras fleet has been or
dered away from Port Said
by the Government and he
will have to stop coaling from
his own transports there. He
was resorting to this when he
found that he could buy no
coal there.
The attack on Santiago is mo-
mentarily expected by the war
department. The fleet is ready
to fight but the work of getting
the seige guns in place still delays
the army.
More Spanish reinforcements
arrive at Santiago and all the
troops in that end Of the island
are being concentrated there.
A rumor in Madrid is to the ef-
feet that the battle expected at
Santiago has taken place and that
the Americans were badly defeat
ed.
Preparations for the fourth exped-
ition to the Philippines are almost
completed and as soon as they are
finished the men will be sent to
reinforce Dewey.
The German Emperor wants to
interfere in the Philippines but he
is opposed by his ministers who
know the power of the United
States better than the royal scat
ter brain.
The war department announces
that but fifteen of the regiments
at Chickamauga are under orders
to get ready to move notwithstand-
ing the reports to the contrary
which are in circulation.

A HERO Of peace was James Hanway,
engineer of the Inflated b. &c O. pass
enger train which Jumped the track
and headed straight for destruction
at the mouth of tunnel, out in the
State, the other day. The fireman
saw the peril, so jumped and saved
his life. Not SO with the engineer,
who saw death staring him in the
face, but stood at his post. But
when they, with thankful hearts,
crowded around the engine, only a
poor crushed body was in the cab,
and the hand that still clutched the
throttle was neryeless in death. And
that is why the name Of James Han
way will occupy place with that Of
Ensign Bagley in the roll of honor in
the Great Beyond.

FROM THE FRONT.
A Picture ana Letter have been re-
eeiyed from the First Regiment-All
the Officers shown.

A Picture ana Letter have been re-
ceiyed from the First Regiment-All
the Officers shown.
A picture OF the officers of the
First West Virginia has been receiy-
ed by w. E. Glasscock having been
sent him by W. j. White, the adju-
tant of the regiment. The picture
is very good one and is attracting
great deal of attention Those
who want to see it can do so by
calling at the clerk office.
A letter was received from White
at the same time. Most of the
things said in it are private in their
nature but few of general interest.
He says that Banks is having some
trouble IN getting as many as he
wants and still needs about fifty
men. The other battalions are full.
Orders have been received to get
ready to move but the destination of
the regiment is not given. The
men want to go to Manila or to Por-
to Rico and they are afraid that they
will be disappointed but they are
ready to go anywhere that they may
be wanted. The greatest wish is to
get at the Spaniards. When they
do great things may be expected of
the mountain state boys.
