1t is astonishing how much large
apartments can be improved by pa
per hangers, painters, gilders, car
pet dealers and those who furnish
modern lighting arrangements No
where In Morgantown can this be
seen to greater advantage than in
the Sunday School room of the
Methodist Episcopal church. After
the upper auditorium had been i'm
proved by repapering, etc, the Ladies'
Aid Society resolved to make the
Sunday School rooms as beautiful
as possible First they had num-
Der of additional gas lights put in
with Welsbach mantles. They then
had A. w. Jones paper the ceiling
with handsome pattern and paper
and border all of the walls. The en-
tire furnace and all of the steam
piping in the rooms were regilded
The carpet was renovated and new
carpets were purchased for the sew
eral class rooms opening into the
main room. All of the window sash,
jams, stills, doors and columns have
received three coats of white paint
and a final coat of varnisb. Other
mino improvements have been made,
until the rooms are probably as
handsome as any in Morgantown.
They will be opened for the Sunday
School and also for public preaching
next Sunday. The great organ up
stairs is completed, but the sur.
rounding platforms will not be com
pleted until Sunday week when a
grand reopening will take place and
the public will hear the new organ.
George c. Baker is raising the mon
ey to have three coats of paint put
on the entire exterior of the church.
All of these improvements will be
made without mourning any debt
and the money for the big organ is
all subscribed and nearly all paid in.
The church will be in good shape
for six years of further service.

THINKS HE WAS MURDERED.
A Brother of lack Taylor Is Sure the
Latter Met Foul Play.
To the Editor of the New DOMINION:

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
MoRGANToWN, Nov. 10.-I would
like to make statement in regard to
the finding of my brother Zaehariah
Taylor's body, who was murdered and
placed on the railroad track at Fair
mont on the 23d of October. Some
mistakes have been made in regard to
finding the knife which is in my pos
session. | who am the murdered
mans brother found the knife which
| shall believe was used to commit
the foul deed and shall endeavor to
show the civil authorities that he
met his death at the hands Of cold
bloOded murderers. | feel safe In say
ing murderers as / am fully convinced
that there were three men implicated
in this crime and that it will be
shown up in the future.
| was talking to one of the parties
suspected and / never saw guiltier
look than was on his face.
| inspected every inch of ground
around where the body was found.
| found the knife between the glass

was lying with the blade open. There
had been scuffie at that place but
no blood was found 1t was plainly
to be seen that some object had been
pulled down the bank from where the
knife was found and where the body
was found there had not been twenty
drops of blood.
He had nine dollars when he left
home. Mr.. B. G. Williams paid him
S2.3 and S. T. Durr paid him $500.
On the body was his watch, rs cents
and few papers. If the train killed
him where did his blood go? and
where his money? 1t is plain it is in
the hands or the murderers. / will
always believe his throat was cut with
the knife | have or razor.

NON PARTISAN BENCH.
State Bar Association is to Take
up The Matter.

Meeting at Martinsburg Next Month
viii Consider 1t Seriously Plan Pro-
posed to Take Judiciary out or Poll
ties Candidates For The Places on
Either Side.
The executive council of the West
Virginia State Bar Association has
fixed upon December Is and ii as the
dates OF its annual meeting, which
will be held at Martinsburg. Secre-
tary Garvin is now arranging the pro-
gram, and President Molohan Is in
correspondence with several promin-
ent men, one of whom will deliver the
annual address One of the days be-
ing the one hundredth university of
the death of Washington, an address,
will be made on some phase of his in.
tluence upon the present time.
Some OF the important questions to
come up before the association for
discussion are those relating TO the
election of two judges of the Supreme
Court OF Appeals to succeed Judge
Henry Brannon and Judge w. w.
English, whose successors will be
chosen next year.
Leading lawyers of both parties ex-
press the belief that politics should be
eliminated from the judiciary, and
that the best way TO begin that reform
Is to have the two great parties unite
on one Democrat and one Republican
and elect them without opposition.
The beneficicnt effects OF this, taey
hold, would be so apparent that
constitutional provision for nom
partisan or a bipartisan judiciary
could easily be carried.
It is generally agreed that the
movement ought to originate In the
State Bar Association, and several of
the States best attorneys will go pre-
pared to speak upon the matter. One
OF the men most talked Of for one of
the judgeships is Mr.. D. O. Weston
haver, Of Martinsburg, one of the
most active members of the associa-
tion. He is a Democrat, but he
would be very acceptable to the Re-
publican members of the State bar.
Judge Brannon, Democrat, has
been mentioned as his own Successor,
and ex-Judge Okey Johnson, dean of
the law faculty Of the university, and
Henry NJ. Russell, of Wheeling, are
other Democrats prominently mem
toned.
The Republican members of the
bar would like Hon. w. P. Hubbard,
of Wheeling, to accept the nomination
but it is doubtful If he would leave
lucrative practice to go on the bench
at hardly a living salary. John w.
Mason, of Fairmont, is said to be
Republican candidate.

SEASON OYER.
Football Team will Hardly Play
Anymore This Year

They Have Two Victories ana Two De-
feats TO Their Credit-Haye Done
well in Face Of Obstacles Place
TO Practice has Handicapped Them
Very Greatly.
1t is not at all likely that the foot
ball team will play any other college
team this year but it will send down
a delegation TO Wheeling composed of
the University players in great part
who will meet the Wheeling team on
the gridiron. The latter organization
is very swift one this season and
they will have no trouble in defeating
the aggregation sent against them
unless the boys brace up or get some
more players from outside.
They will not 60 as tie Z University
team but under some other name.
The faculty would not permit them
to go as the w. V. U. team. The
game will be played on Thanksgiving
il it can be arranged.
The record made by the team dur
ing the season has not been the finest
that could be made by any ,organiza-
tion but they have done very well con
sidering that they have had no place
to practice and that they have had very
little encouragement from the stu
dent body.
Two games have been won and two
lost during the season. The game
with w. and j. was foregone con-
elusion and that defeat by Marietta
was largely due to crippled toodm and
the lack of team work on account of
having no place to practice.
The men deserve credit for sticking
TO the game until the season is this
old. The indications are that next
year if there are the proper efforts
made by those in authority there will
be first class team representing the
University again and if they do not
do what they should do the team will
be minus quantity.
A number of men are on the hos
pital list now and there is very little
chance of any more games being play
ed from present indications.

STONE BEING SHIPPED.
Demand for Local Product i'm Pennsyl.
Railroad Will add to the Out
put Greatly.

A great deal of curling from this
section of the country is being ship
ped down the river and to points along
the B. & O. in Pennsylvania. The
stone is in great demand in number
of places notably Scottdale where
thereis considerable amount of paw
ing being done.
The track put in from the Thomp-
son property back towards the depot
is being used as place where the cars
are being loaded with the stone and a
derrick has been rugged up by |. N.
Weaver to use in loading. The stone
is of excellent quality and is easily
auarried.
This output of stone will be greatly
increased when the railroad gets up
Deckers Creek and the immense lodges
OF stone up there are available. The
quarries down below here are in the
hands of companies that have placed
the prices so high that the demand is
being sent to other places for salts
faction.
