MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Morgantown, w. Va, April John
Long, a wealthy farmer, of near Mount
Morris, went crazy yesterday and start
ed on horse at break-neck speed
across the county with several of his
relatives after him. After a chase of
nearly twenty miles he was caught In
this county and brought here and then
taken back home. He is one of the
largest land owners in Greene county,
and is a very popular young man. The
cause of the mental alteration is not
known.
1t has been reported here for several
days that DR.. Raymond had been offer
ed the presidency of Iowa University
but inquiry at his home reveals the
fact that no such tender has been
made. There have beer some over
lures, but it is stated by Mr.. Raymond's
friends that these have come from the
Iowa people and not from him. The
position pays six thousand dollars a
year, with house and money appro-
priated for the presidents receptions.
Mrs. Eva Hubbard, of Wheeling, who
is the head of the art department OF
the University, has resumed her duties
after a suspension of several weeks due
to illness.
The Union Improvement Company
gave notice to Council last night tina,
they would hereafter refuse to furnish
gas for the open gas jets which are al
present used for street lights, and
Welsbach lights will probably be put
In. Arrangements were made with the
Presbyterian trustees to use the lot in
rear of their old graveyard for dump
ing place for the towns garbage, and
1t will be used hereafter. There is a
great deal of kicking from adjacent
property owners.
