Of course we saw our Shepherds
town boys who are attending the Uni
Observation-Disclosures, Trussell, Mar
ten, Lemen, Miller and Porterfeld.
They are all most comfortably located,
and every one Of them is proud of the
fine institution where they are laying
the foundations for their life work, 1t
was most gratifying to us, and it must
be much more so to their parents and
their former teachers, to hear words
Of commentator for them from the
college faculty and the people in gen
eral. The professors of the University
with whom we talked said that no
students came there better prepared
for the classes in which they We're to
enter than our Shepherd College boys,
and this Is fine recommendation for
our home school. We found, too, that
the boys had made their reputation as
earnest and progressive students and
that their behavior in all respects was
such as to command the respect of
those with whom they associated, The
Shepherdstown boys were all all right,

THE Morgantown NeC Dominion
states that Hon. U. S. G. Pitzer has
practically given up the fight for the
congressional nomination in this dis
trict, and has expressed his opinion
that Mr.. Dayton will receive the nom
ination. We don't know Of anybody
who is more frank or honest in their
expressions than Mr.. Pitzer, but at the
same time he knows something ofpoi-
tics and has doubtless read Of the great
things Br'er Rabbit accomplished by
"layin low" and battling his oppo-
nents. He's a mighty popular man,
and Mr.. Dayton will still do well to
guard the trocha at all points. Hon.
George c. Sturgiss is also making a
contest for the prize, and as he has
long been a Woodworking party man
his claims for recognition will by no
means be ignored. If he doesn't get
the nomination himself, the man who
becomes his residuary legatee will re-
ceive considerable strength. Another
name, that of Mr.. Holt, Of Grafton,
has recently been mentioned in this
connection, though as yet there has
not been much developed concerning
his candidacy. Mr.. Dayton undOubt-
edly is far ahead in the race. The
party organization is for him, and his
record as Congressman and as party
man is one to which he can refer with
pride and which in all fairness must
be approved by his constituents. Of
course, there are disappointed Office
seekers to contend against, but how
much ice they Will cut remains to be
seen.
The Democrats seem to be inactive
in the district concerning the nomina-
ton, and show disposition to first
learn the Republican plans before max
ing up their minds. Mr.. w. B. Corn
well, of Hampshire county, and Hon.
Sam. V. Woods, of Barbour, are watch
ing events closely, and Hon. W. G..
Brown, the Democratic candidate two
years ago, is anxious to have another
try at Mr.. Dayton Mr.. Stuart W.
Walker, of Martinsburg, also has as
pirations, and letters setting forth his
claims are appearing in the newspa-
pers in a manner that indicates a pre-
arranged campaign. If there is any
indication that the eastern panhandle
will have any show in the fight, Col.
Forrest W. Brown, Of Jefferson, will
also be heard from.
There will be no lack of material in
either party, and in the above lists,
Democrats and Republicans, no mis-
take is likely to be made in choosing
leader.

Morgantown is a fine, thriving place.
Situated on the slope rising from the
Monongahela river, it occupies COM
handing and a picturesque site. There
have been great improvements in the
past few years, and now its public
buildings and private residences make
it splendid little city. We have
never seen a place where there were
so few plain buildings. 1t is a very
old town, but verify old things there
have passed away and all things have
become new. It is just completing a
system of sewerage and the next thing
to be done, and for which arrange
ments are being made, is the paving
of the streets with vitrifed bricks.
It is right in the coal region, and
this valuable commodity may be had
for the asking. However, nobody
asks for it, for the country has that
greater treasure, natural gas, which Is
used almost exclusively for heating
and domestic use. It's convenience
cannot be overestimated. You tuln
a valve, light match, and there
your fire! This gas Is also used to
light the town, and in the streets ii
burns day and night. They say it is
cheaper to let it burn all the time
than to pay some one to turn it of
and light it again. Yes, they have
gas to burn.
Of course the University Is the chief
institution of Morgantown, which Is
sometimes called the West Virginia
Athens. But there are other enter
prises, including wooden mills and a
great glass mandatory. The glass
works employs about 5opersons, and
is one Of the most complete in the Uni
ted States. 1t turns out carload OF
finished goods every day. Its pnnci-
pal product is tumblers and goblets
and similar articles, including some
very beautiful cut glass in various de-
signs. The editors thoroughly enjoyed
a visit to this great establishment,
where the operations in glass making,
from the inspection Of the sand to the
packing of the finished product, was
observed with the greatest interest
The courteous superintendent explain
ed the details and gave much valuable
information. Men, women and chill
dren are employed, and the glass
blowers, whose wages reach as high as
seven dollars day, make much more
by their blowing than the average
country editor does.

Who Will be Trustee?

The board of examiners for the town site of Wrangel will recommend the name of someone for the office of Trus- tee. Now, the gentlemen composing that board are comaratively strangers to the citizens of Wrangcl and will have to be aided in making the selection by the citizens.
 Citizens, who is your choice? "Speak now, or forever after hold your peace
 We have made several inquiries and so far have only heard the name of one man mentioned. We have known that man for several years and knowing him to be a man above reproach and man capable of holding the position and doing honor to the office as well as to himself. We, therefore move, that the name of J. l.. Romer be presented to the Board of Examiners as the unani- nous choice of the citizens of Wrangcl. for the position of Trustee.
