A farther examination of the foun-
dations of the Centre school building
appears to reveal the fact that there
were grounds for the panic that came
upon teachers and scholars last week
and resulted in the temporary dismiss
sal of school. The board Of education
meets tonight to hear all the evidence
that may be forthcoming, and 1t is not
necessary to remind the board that this
Is matter of such seriousness that the
truth must be arrived at without de-
lay, and until the building is safe be-
You'd peradventure the lives of scholars
and teachers must not be placed in
jeopardy by the holding of school in the
building.

OF Delegates Taylor OF cabell county,

against the swearing in OF Logan In

not altogether a dlsInterested act Of

Many new features have vindlcated
thelr introduction by the only known
,test-thnt OF success. Notably. the con-,
tlnuous sessions. which Is one man!fes-
tatIon OF the university extension spirit
that spirit which, during the last
eight years has been leading many Of
the more prominent universities Of
our country TO widen thelr fields OF ac--s.
ltiylty with the purpose OF bringing the
advantages OF The university TO those
classes OF the population who have
hitherto been deprived OF university
culture.
Il In line With the new policy lnauSura-
ted. the Summer Quarter" had most
successful trial last year, Of which the
presidents report gives glowing ac-
count, with the testimonials OF those
who awaited themselves OF the advant-
ages OF instruction during that period.
The most important feature in con-
3nectIon with the history OF the ,unlver-.
3slty.is the co-education scheme which
was introduced in 1897. Tho attend
ancc OF young ladies has now reached a
point when It IS necessary that a hall
should be built for them-a building
that can In a measure Ill the place OF
home. This matter especially appeals
TO the. legislature for the proper care OF
the daughters OF the state. q
President Raymond makes very
valuable suggestion in regard to u
permanent income for the university in
recommending aimillage tax. On this
subject he says
This total assessment valuation OF
property Is much lower In West Virgin
Ia than In most OF the other states.

Ing exemptions granted by our state to
churches, cemeteries and various other
organizations which are taxed In other
states. But even. with this low valua-
ton, q tax Of one-half mill on each
dollar OF assessed valuation would yield
an annual Income to the university OF
Sill, 097 "a. which. with its income from
the Federal appropriations, would Mt
once enable the university to take It's
place where It belongs. among the great
state universities of the country, and
would relieve Ito the necessity OF ask
Ing every legislature. for the bare nee
cssaries OF existence. Such n tax would
provide permanently for all the needs
of the university. 1t would give the
university an assured income, which
would gradually increase from year to
year as the value OF the property in the
state increased, enabling the university
to meet the increasing needs of q lar
ger body Of students. No other plan
that can be devised will SO effectually
provide for the necessary growth Of the
university, and at the same time enable
the university to do Its work without
the fear or favor Of partisan politicians.
There is no subject that will be he

take in It's treatment. however inno-
cent it may be. will injure 1t. The In

Joined the ranks of the stock yards
strikers yesterday. making the force
that is now out 600 and the strike fe-
yer is apparently on the increase. The
first establishment TO be affected yes

being an increase of % cents In each
department.
At Swift & Co.'S II was said that
about 100 men had Joined the strike
and had been given their time. Lip
ton * Co. lost 30 more and 100 men in
the sausage trimming department OF
the International Packing company
left their places. Some of these men
were taken back at the insrease de-
manded but the raise was not given TO
all. In the afternoon the hay men
employed by Nelson, Morris & co.
made a demand for a 25-cent raise by
this morning.
As a result Of the strike fo1r rio
calls were sent TO the stock yards po-
lice station during the day. Two OF
the strikers were locked up charged
with assaulting one Of Nelson, Morris
e Co.'S watchmen. Early in the day a
crowd OF strikers gathered near Mel
son. Morris & Co.'S packing house and
assaulted two colored men who had
been employed since the trouble be-
gan. One of the negroes received a
severe beating before he was rescued
b. the police. When the news OF the
clash reached the other colored men
they decided nos to go TO work.
Supt. Miller, of the International
Packing company, said he expected to
see a general strike in the yards grow
ing out of the present troubie. Every
where the men have been discussing
the situation, and they are practically
agreed on demanding an Increase In
wages. They say their wages were
cut 10 per cent in 1893 with a promise
that the old rate would be restored.
Some of the packers say they are VIII
ing 10 restore the old rate now. but
that an increase OF % cents n day
would be more than 10 per cent in
most eases.
II Is estimated that 10000 persons
are employed in the yards and old
timers predict a repetition OF the big
strike OF 1856 and 1894.
The closing down Of Armour x Co.'S
hacking house left S.G0O hogs In the
wards last night and caused CONSIDER
