ROOMS RENTED.
School Board Has Made Ar
engagements to Keep Every
Thing Going.

None Of Tie Rooms will Have to Shui

Foundations Give way and are Re-
paired.
The school board has had no meet
ing this week but they have decided
about the rooms in which they are to
hold school until the end of the term
Messrs. Baily and Pickenpaugh had
this in charge and they have been able
to get the rooms they wanted without
much trouble. All the rooms will run
until the last OF next month when th,
eight months will be up.
This will not be very good news t.
the children who had hoped that they
would be set free 10 short time and
that they would not have to spend
any longer time in the school room
The teachers interested are very GLAD
to have the north added and they
were very much stirred up over the
prospect OF having to close down when

The seats have all been placed In
the building and the board has In
spected them and found that they are
all right. There Is nothing now to be
done but to get the rest Of the build
ing in shape and wait until next fall
when the school will be moved in.
The proposition to hold great cele-
bration has met with general appro-
baton and 1t will probably be carried
out.
The building IL certainly worthy of
some sort of recognition and as it Is
the best arranged and one of the finest
in the state the celebration will be a
notable one.
The foundation of the gas engine ia
the basement which was used to run
the fans which supply the fresh air
gave way and it had to be shut down.
The collapse was due to the fact that
the cement used was no good. The

the damage and it is now running

CHURCH ADVERTISING.
An Unique Move on the Part Of Bev.
erly, Mass, Pastor.


A Beverly Mass correspondent of
Newspaperdom writes to that publ
cation thus:
The pastor of the Dane Street Con-
gregational church, Rev. F. J. Van
Horn, has demonstrated that church
advertising pays. Mr.. Van Horn, be-
fore coming to Beverly, was located
out in Ohio, and became emb1ed with
some Of the Western hustle, and he
rather astopished his good New Eng
land deacons one Sunday, when he in
formed them that he wanted 800 to
spend in advertising. In making
this request he said there was no rea-
son why, instead of 100, they should
not have 500 people present at the
evening service at the church. On
the following Saturday the advertising
matter appeared. but there is still a
suspicion that the pastor paid for it
himself, for awhile at least. At first
he began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and
scattered about the streets. Then he
would vary it with quarter-sheet
poster hung in the store windows,
each announcing his subject for the
following Sunday evening and invit-
ing the public to come and hear him.
These subjects were never sensational
nor were his sermons. The result Of
this advertising began to show in an
increasing attendance at the meetings,
and a count was made every Sunday
and the number announced the follow
ing Sunday So well did the plan
work that at the next annual parish
meeting it was voted to take collec-
tion at the Sunday evening service,
and allow the Rev. Mr.. Van Horn to
take it for his own use 10 advertising
and for securing special musical talent
for the services. About this time,
now nearly years ago, he abandon
ed the flyers, and took six inch space
in the Evening Times on Saturday,
and has continued it ever since. We
give him special position across the
top of the fifth page, one inch deep,
and people now look as regularly for
this announcement as they do for the
local news in the paper. The result
of this advertising, together with very
practical sermons that he breaches, is
that instead Of the five hundred they
he hoped to get out at the services,
the number more frequently reaches
800, and is seldom less than l 900.

FOR FORGERY.
E. c. Gribble under Arrest at his
Home on Wiies Hill.

Two Notes Discounted ut the Bank cl

be Removed from Home on account
Of Illness.
4. G. Gribble who recently came
TO Morgantown from the vicinity Of
Bruceton, in Preston county, is I'm
der arrest at his home on Wiles Hill
on the charge of forgery. The war
rant was sworn out By DIR. Coombs
of the Valley Bank end was serve'l
by Deputy Sheriff John Wallace.
Gribble was found to be unable to
leave bis house on account of lines,
and Rob Barrackman and Will
Smith have charge Of him until b.
RECEIVERS enough to appear at the
preliminary hearing When this will
take place is not known.
The charge of forgery grew out OF
the discodnting OF a couple of note ,
which were taken to the Bank of the
Monongahela Valley sometime ago
by Gribble. The men on whom they
were drawn we're at once notified
that they we're due and they replied
that the notes were forgeries. Acting
on their advice DR.. Coombs swore
out the warrant and the man was
arrested.
The notes were on John Gale for
$S4.2 and W. O'Neal for 1924. Both
these men live near Bruceton where
the prisoner formerly resided.
Gribble is stone mason and has
been living here for some time occu-
plying the house owned by Dr. Kelly
on Wiles Hill He has wife and
several children but does not seem
to be very well known in town.
What defense he has to offer has not
yet developed.

1t will undoubtedly be a good while
before the time saving proposition of
a correspondent Of the New York Sun
will be generally adopted. His idea
is in order to save time in reading, to
have the lines read from right to left
and left to right alternately so that
no time shall be lost in skipping back
across the column each time. Among
his illustrations of the idea he gives
the following arrangement of famil-
lar stanza:
Mary had little lamb,
Snow as white was fleece it's,
And every place that Mary went,
Go to sure was lamb the
More time would likely be wasted 10
getting used to it than would be
saved by its adoption.

The Modern College President.

| The college president has come to
be primarily great executive officer.
In time, doubtless, his work will be
subdivided-h himself will submit to
the prevalent specialization: deans are
relieving him Of the internal admins
tration; superintendent of buildings
and grounds are caring for the estate;
expert treasurers and great trust COM
panies are looking after the invested
fundsl the boards Of direction are
| limiting themselves to their proper
functions, and faculties are allowed a
freer hand in the educational details.
All this points to day when the
president will again find the oppor-
tunity enjoyed by his earlier predecess-
ors of employing his own particular
gifts and impressing strongly upon
Others his own personality. He will
become again within the university a
vital force-a Man, written with a
capital M.
Under the pressure of the hour he
may be chosen primarily because it is
thought he will meet an existing ex-
igency. That exigency is most often
to raise money. what we want" is
reported to have been said by a rich
member of church recently seeking
pastor, sis man who will sell
pews." 1t was brutally frank, but it
accurately described the situation.
Out Of this spring, however, multi
tude of other duties, and the college
president of to-day has position
quite above any chance exigency, and
occupies place which no other man
can fill. His excellence is in lines
that are distinctly noble and are his
own. Its measure is to be found
largely in his readiness to obliterate
himself in giving to other men their
opportunity and supply their inspira-
ton. He is to provide for Others every
facility for successful work, putting
himself behind all and finding his re
ward in their achievements and
growth. 1t is easy for him to be
heavy-handed, for the traditions of
his Office secure to him underlined
power; but he is chiefly called upon
for unselfishness. In proportion as
he attains to that he secures coopera-
ton within and support from with
out. In nc position is self-seeking or
uncertainty of motive surer to defeat
all.-From 1.-THE Evolution of the

Council did not transact very
much business at the LAST meeting
but talked over many matters Of in
terest to the town The chief mat
ter before them just now is place
for the dumping of garbage There
is no place where this can be placed
and the transfers refuse to take the
stuff when offered. by any one.
1t is proposed to take the ravine
back Of the Presbyterian graveyard
A large tile drain would be places
along this and the garbage dumped
into the ravine. The place is very
large one and would answer the pur-
pose for years to come. Another
place is under consideration in the
Rich woods. The matter may be
disposed of at the next meeting.

The TEXT
Of the Bill slipped through Con
gress

authorizing the United States to sue
For a settlement or the Virginia
debt--The Government holds some
old Virginia bonds-Evident inten-
tion to force us to pay q part Of
them.
Some time ago New York dispatch
was printed saying that the Secretary
of the Treasury had been authorized
by recent act Of Congress to bring. suit
against Virginia and West Virginia
to recover the interest and principal
of 1851, 900 Of Virginia bonds pur-
chased before 1860 as trustee for GER
tain tribes of Indians, amounting nov
TO about two million dollars. The
evident intention of the law is IT,
place the United States in the atti.
tude of forcing West Virginia to as
sumo the payment OF portion Of thai
amount.
After some search the provision of
law referred to has been found Ia &.
proviso in section 4 Of Public Act No

Governors of States and Territories
for expenses incurred by them in aid
ing the United States to organize and

of the United States in the existing
war with Spain, approved July 8, 1898
and for other purposes. y
That section reads as follows:
THAT the expenses incurred by the
Governors of States in carrying out
the provisions of this act shall be paid
to them Notwithstanding any unset
tied accounts, claims or Indebtedness
Of the United States, against their
States. and without prejudice to such
unsettled accounts.
provided, That when such un-
settled account is caused by default
in payment of principal or interest on
any bonds Or stock issued or guar
anteed by any state, the ownership of
which is vested in the United States,

he is hereby authorized and directed
to institute any act OF proceeding
which he may consider advisable
against the State or its representatives
to secure payment of the principal and
interest of said bonds or stocks"

The following from the Cumber

"A. Thompson, manager of the

mand for West Virginia spruce lum-
Der, which caused boom in timber

THE NEW COMPANY.


DC MuStcTtu lhs
The new company that has been so
anxious toget started for sometime
is now ready to be mustered in The
colonel of the first regiment some
time ago forwarded his rccommen-
dation to Charleston to take the or
ganization into the guard but moth
ing was done for so long that peo-
pie here thought that it had fallen
through.
However dispatch from Charles
ton states that commissions have
been issued to Clement r. Jones as
captain and Justin NJ Kunkle as
first lieutenant of Company L. of
Morgantown. This shows that there
is no longer any doubt of the organ
ization being mustered in.
When this will take place is not yet
known but it will not be very long be-
fore it is done. The company will get
into shape for duty this summer in
case there is an encampment and in
case they are TO take the practice
march as indicated they will be ready
for that.
