is practically certain that the lirst,
West Virginia volunteer regiment and
possibly the second West Virginia AS
well, will be mustered out OF the vol
unteer service OF the United States

first regiment is selected in preference
to the second for dismissal from the

Considerable pressure has been

HELD HIS CORPSE
Thinking that he could be brought back
to the Land of the Living.


CLARKsBURG, Dec. 28.--Alpheus
w. Shinn, aged 70, a we'll known
tailor of Clarksburg, dropped dead
Sunday at his home here of heart
failure, and an unusual incident in
connection with the old mans death
has just become known. Shinn was
an ardent believer in prayer, and
had great faith in his brother in law
Joseph B. Harrison, of Loveland, o.
Soon after the physicians pronounc
ed Shinn dead the widow and only
daughter, a teacher in the public
schools, wired him to come at once
and pray with the dead man, as
they were of the firm belief that he
would come back to life again. The
message was received by Mr.. Harri-
son, but he was unable to reach
Clarksburg in time, and, although
Shinn's body was held some time
friends finally prevailed upon the
bereaved wife and daughter to have
the body inferred, and Shinn's flu
neral occurred at Shinnston Tuesday
afternoon.

triumphs that has ever been brought
to our attention. The announcement
is made that the Herald after the
first of the year will appear as a

its establishment and will make the
older members of the fraternity hustle
to retain their positions.
One of the many excellent pictures

the.young ladies reside inMorgantown.
The picture was sent in from Parkers-
burg and of course the correspondent
knew that he was stealing Morgan
town thunder when he used it. OF
course we do not blame him for try
ing to get some of our proud posses
sions in the beauty line but he should
take another course to get them.
The young ladies in question whose
pictures we're published as hailing
from Parkersburg are Miss Blanche
Wood and Miss Louise Huston.

Roscoe Tenant is in jail having

yesterday afternoon. Constable w

brought him in. They had no trouble
whatever with their prisoner. They
were in this office and talked about
the affair.
Shriver stated that the young
man who was killed had always had
a most excellent reputation and that
the fight had been pushed on him
by Tenant. Others claim Moore
was the aggressor At any rate he
was not in very big hurry to
get away to avoid the row which
followed Tenants blow in the face.
He was the main support of his
widowed mother on whom the blow
will fall heavily and she has the
sympathy of all in her loss.
Tenant was seen in the Jail this
afternoon by representative of this

his business when he was Interrupt.

door for the sheriff to return. See
ing that there was to be no talk the
scribe told him that if he did not
wish TO say anything that it would
be all right and that no hard feel
ings would be entertained. The
murderer then said that he had en-
ployed counsel and that they had
told him not to talk. His lawyers
are Cox d Baker.
The constables stated when they
were here that the impression they
had gained from what the young man
had said was that he would con
fess and throw himself on the mercy
of the court as he wished to get out
of the scrape as easily as he could
and knew there was trip to the
pen in store for him no matter what
he did.
J. E Noel who was stabbed by
Dave Morrow was still alive at the
last accounts and was doing well
The chances for his recovery are
very good. 1t is to be hoped that he
will recover as it is bad enough to
have one murder trial in the county
at term of court much less two of
them.

army, a man greatly esteemed by as
sociates and superiors in Office, died at
his home in this city, suddenly, at a
late hour Sunday night, OF disabilities
contracted through overwork during
the war with Spain.
Mr.. Holmes services, from his long
acquaintance with the duties, were al
most indispensable, and when war be-
came inevitable, he relinquished his
annual leave and remained at his post.
His health gave way about month
ago and he was compelled to seek
recuperation. He went to Atlantic

Of over thirty-fiye years, won, as he
highly deserved, the confidence of his
superiors, the respect of all his associ-
ates. His indomitable energy and de-
votion TO duty were never more forci-
ably displayed than during the past |
nine months, and his absolute dsre-
gard OF self, by weakening a strong
vitality, left him an easy prey to the
disease which terminated his life.'

OVER TEN PER CENT GAIN.
The Great Increase in School Attend
ance in This State.

No doubt has been expressed by any
one that, theoretically, compulsory
education in West Virginia would be
success, but some have expressed
their doubts as to the practical work
ing of law which is not severe
enough in its requirments. The re-
ports which have been received at the
Office of the state Superintendent OF
Free Schools and are now being tabu-
lated, throw much light on the prac.
tical side of the question. In 1895
the average daily attendance in all the
public schools in West Virginia was
140, 4S5; in 1896 it was 141, 0S1; in
1897 it was 143, 2S4, and in 1898 it
was 15S, 537, a gain over the previous
year of more than ten per cent. while
the average annual gain before had
been less than one per cent.

The POST OFFICE
Receipts and Expenditures for
the last year.

Morgantown makes a Profit for the
the Goyernment-Largest Percentage
in the State-The receipts will go
over $4,000 this year and free de-
livery will follow-Good record that
is being made-New building will be
done soon and the Office will be
moved.
The reports of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the principal postofiices
in the state have been published OF
course every large office in the state
is run at profit to the government
and nearly every small one is run at
IA loss. Many of the country people
are prone to rail at the towns and
decry them but these towns aid them
in getting mail delivery at such
low rates and such satisfactory
way.
Morgantown took in last year
through the postoffice 1851, paid
out as expenses $2,376 and the prof
its were 1924. This is about the
greatest percentage of profit of any
office in the state The receipts are
rapidly growing and they are ex-
pected to run over ten thousand this
year when we will get free delivery.
The office here is one of the best
conducted in the state. The inspec-
tor in his last report spoke very
highly of the Morgantown office and
referred to the business like
way in which it was conducted.
The growth of the community and
the amount of business that is being
done here every year over the pre-
ceding year has made the income
jump up very fast and for the last
few years it has been growing at the
rate of over one thousand year.
This time it will &C over the ten
thousand mark and will put the Of
flee in the next high st notch.
Fairmont went into it recently and
they are trying to hold what they
have by getting the postoffices in
the two towns of Palatine and Fair
mont consolidated.
The new postoffice building which
has been so long hanging fire is
promised for us soon and in very
few weeks the Office will be in its
new home. This will be much bet
ter than the old one and every one
is anxious to see them move.
