OF town like plenty Of nice shade
trees.
A PROCLAMATION has been issued
In Warrington requiring all dogs to

and there is much agitation there
from.

THERE are $50 cases of measles in
Warrington and the public schools
are almost closed on account of the
epidemic. However it is in a mild
form and no serious results are ex-
pected from the visitation.
THE hearing of the young men ar
rested for the shooting of Calvin
Thomas at Grafton on Sunday Dight
has been postponed for ten days. The
wounded man is still alive but the
chances are still thought to be against
his recovery.
THE men who are to go into the
new company are very anxious to hear
what fate the application is meeting
and they want in at once. 1t will
only be short time until the muster
ing in is done il the movement is to
be success.
The coal Operators of this state
are still fearful OF a strike among
the miners. There is very little
dissatisfaction among West Virginia
miners and a general strike could
not hurt our operators as bad as
those in other sections.
WHAT chance is there for Morgan
own to have base ball team next
season? There are a number of very
good players here and we could put
out team that would be hard to

The indications are more promis-
ing for great summer for Morgan
town than they ever were at this
season Of the year. The solid sub
stantial prosperity of the town and
its steady growth will continue this
summer as it has in the past.
THE Poster building is the only
large building in town to use the
acytelene gas and the success of the
experiment will be watched with some
interest. The new light is claimed to
be great deal by the men who are
pushing it and if it does half that
is claimed for it it will be wonder.
THE Grafton Leader seems to have
inside information on the subject, and
announces the horrible statement
that there are 52,0 old bachelors
and So, 789 old maids in West Virgin
ia. With this seasons rate of mar
riage kept up, however, we will catch
up these figures, and redeem our repu-
tation in no time.
SINCE Warrington is big enough
to try to get the West Virginia Pa
per and Pulp Mill which is going to
leave Piedmont for another site what
is the matter with Morgantown GO
ing after it? We have every advan-
tage here and we need the industry
badly. 1t can be obtained with the
proper effort.
THE little child which was so bad
ly burned in South Morgantown a
few nights ago is still very bad but
she is better than at first expected
to be. In case there are no serious
complications she>will get we'll all
right 1t will be remembered that
she is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs,
Charles Kern.
A BILL has been introduced by Del
egate Grant to allow eleven regents
instead of nine as at present How
these are to be appointed we are I'M
able to learn and what advantage this
will have over the present system
aside from providing a couple more
places for the faithful is very hard to
see
PUBLISHING a newspaper is simply
business enterprise and is subject to
the same laws that govern other bust
ness enterprises. The printer neither
steals his supplies nor creates them
by magic. They must be bought and
paid for in cash. Hence it is clear as
day that those who Jake the paper
must pay for it promptly or the paper
must quit business. When two and
two no longer make four this may be
otherwise, but not until then.
The First West Virginia is the
best drilled and disciplined regiment
at Camp Conrad, yet they are to be
mustered out of the service, and reg
iments retained whose executive off
GERS, in some cases, are not capable
Of drilling their men. No doubt,
however, those regiments had ''po-
litical pull" which covers all de
fects in the eyes of Secretary Alger.
1t is indeed hard for brainy men TO
be compelled to obey the orders of
a foolish and cowardly political pet.

A MAN high up in life insurance
circles is authority for the statement
that the big insurance companies are
paying out enormous suicide claims

ciation," he said, 'sof the magnitude
of business done by these gigantic
corporations. The number of deaths
resulting from suicide last year is
greater than ever known in the his
tory of life insurance. / estimate the
payments last year on suicide claims
alone reached an average of nearly
81, 500, 900 to each one of the big com
