WILL NOT GET 1T.
Captain Casteel Will not Be Made a
Major-ReasOns for This Condition
or Affairs.

Another turn has been taken in
the appointment Of Captain Casteel
to majors place in the army. 1t was
announced once that he had been
given the place and the announce
ment came from what seemed to be
good authority but it now looks very
different. The latest story in re-
gard to the matter comes from
Washington and is as follows;
1t is settled, apparently, that Col
onel Casteel, of West Virginia, now
captain in the army destined for
the Philippines, will not be given a
majors commission. 1t is stated
that had he not been already com
missioned the higher grade could
have been secured, but he was Civ
en- captains place, then the best
position available, before it had
been determined to raise the add
tional regiments. The trouble in
the way is in securing him promo
ton, which would cause friction
among the officers in line for adj
vancement, who would necessarily
be displaced by giving higher
grade to a man lately appointed.
The two West Virginia senators and
the President, in conjunction with
the secretary Of war, cndeavored to
discover a way whereby Captain
Casteel could be promoted, but Sen
ator Elkins was advised to day by
telegraph of the futility of the eff
fort.
1t is not yet known positively
whether or not Major G. d. Elliott
will accept the commission lately
rendered him at his previous rank.
The major is here attending the re-
union Of the Spanish war veterans.
He was this afternoon put on the
committee, representing West Vir
ginia, on plan of organization.
There is quite good attendance,
and permanent society will be
formed before the close of the reun
ion.

FAIR Is OVER.
M0rgant0wn Horse Pulls Down Hand
some Purse at Uniontown Fair.

The Morgantown crowd at the
Uniontown Fair have returned home
and the Fair is over. The races that
failed to come off on Thursday were
extended over until Friday when they
were held. Some very good races were
to be seen.
The chief interest hereabouts was
in the three-fourths running race in
which Col. McDermott's horse Com
monwealth was entered. The horse
beat out his competitors and took the
first money, five hundred dollars. A
large number of Morgantown people
rooted for the winner and some of
them had tidy sums of coin as a re-
suit of their faith in his sprinting
abilities.
The Fair was disappointment to
many people on account Of the wealth
er and from other causes. However
those who went had reasonably good
time and they probably got their
moneys worth before they were
through in one way or another.

HANDSOME GREETING ORsAMMY.
Mr.. Chadwick's Friends get up a Sur

On Wednesday evening some OF
the young friends of Mr.. S. G..
Chadwick prepared to surprise him
very agreeably in honor of his nine
teenth birthday and they did it
handsomely. GUY Wiley and the
Misses Wilson suggested the idea.
The affair was surprise party at
the home of his parents. Invitations
were given to a great many and
nearly all responded. The lawn in
the rear of the house was Illuminated
and refreshments were served there
The throng of bright and happy
young people enjoyed themselves to
the limit until late hour. Among
the guests whose names are recalled
were: The Misses White, the Misses
Provance, the Misses Wilson, the
Misses Grant, Mr.. and Mrs. Barbe
Prof. and Mrs. Gallup, Miss Hub

Morgantown's Chadwick Day.

Morgantown is preparing to have a
Chadwick Day, which will be equal in
proportion to New York's Dewey Day.
1t will be welcome home to Captain
f. E. Chadwick, of the United States
cruiser New York, which did such
magnificent service in the Spanish
American war. 1t needs but to recall
the important part taken by the New
York in the great naval campaigns of
that war to show how richly deserving
is this West Virginia product of the
honors that are to be conferred upon
him by his native town and it will be a
great day for the seat of the good old
patriotic county OF Monongalia.
The Intelligencer notes that elabo-
rate preparations are being made for
a magnificent reception about the
10th of October when there is reason
to believe that President Mckinley
will honor the occasion with his pres
ence stopping over en- route to Chica-
go about that date. influential West

in Pittsburg recently and his respon-
SEES to the invitations were encourage

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.
Duty Of the Farmer 10 Zee That They
Are Made Better

No other hypothesis than ignorance
of the facts or indifference to their
own interests can explain why the
farming population of the agriculture
al States, who do the bulk of the vot-
ing, have allowed themselves TO lose
such an immense aggregate OF earn
ings annually on bad roads, says the
st. Louis Republic. Through a spe-
cial agent. appointed for the purpose.
the Department Of Agriculture has
been collecting data showing the cost
of bad roads the country over. Re
plies from 10, 900 letters addressed to
reliable farmers and teamsters In var
ious parts of the United States have
been received. by equating their
contents the conclusion Is reached
that the average cost of hauling a ton
a distance OF one mile is % cents,
when for the same amount ton can
be carried 200 miles by water and so
miles by rail.
The American farmer is at an ex
pense three times greater per mile for
hauling his produce than the Euro
pean farmer. This Is because the
service standards abroad are lower and
because the roads there are great
deal better. This drain upon the
agricultural llenergies of the country
will continue until this annual surface
treatment is supplanted by system
of fundamental and permanent con-
struction.

Wolf was formerly often in Morgan

them in the far east. When the fort
was taken he went in search of relics
