New Money Orders.

The postotfice department has been
contemplating a radical change iD the
form of money orders, and will put a
new system into effect when the pres
emit money order contract expires the
1st of September. The postal officials
have been considering various styles
that promise to be an improvement
on the present clumsy order, and have
about decided to adopt an order that
is written manifold, the order and
letter of advice being written at the
same time. AT present the order and
letter of advice are written at differ
ent times on separate forms, and often
errors are made in the advice and
then the papers do not compare as
they should, and the payee generally
has difficulty in collecting his money.

TWO COMMENTS.
What Two of The Leading Papers Think
of Two Things Here.

The following comment is taken
from the Parkersburg Sentinel The
board of regents of the University
have increased President Raymond S
salary 5000 year. In defense thereof
it is stated that, in view of the attacks
upon the President, the board has
given him this increased sum more as
a token of their regard for and con-
fidence in him than for any other rca-
son. 1t would have sounded so much
better to the critical world if the rea-
sons were put upon the broader ground
that his services were worth more
than his former salary to the school,
and that he was being paid too little
for his work and worth.
This one is from the Charlestown
Free Press: The West Virginia Uni
versity regents at their recent meet
ing abolished the commencement ball,
and substituted cooking, or domestic
science department. Co-education
prevails there. and the girls, at least,
will be found falling over themselves
in their rush to acquire the art Of
making consomme, etc. 1t will be an
improvement on learning to "Trip

Epidemic Over.

1t is believed that the small pox
epidemic at Layton is at an end, as
there have been no new cases for
about week, says the news. A
very strict watch is kept over the
town, and there is not much chance
for the disease to spread. Many OF
the houses have been fumigated and
the inhabitants have all been vacci-
mated, so that they feel pretty safe
as regards the spreading of the dis
ease. The most peculiar thing about
the epidemic was the fact that the
people did not know that they had
the smallpox until they were so in
formed by the doctors, although
some of them were covered with
sores.

THEY ARE BACK.
Delegates Return to MorgantOwn From
The Inter Collegiate Contest.

The representatives of the two
societies, Mr. Will John and Mr. A.
w. Smith are back from New Will
mington where they had been attend
ing the contest between the different
colleges in the association. Mr..
White who was the President of the
Association has also returned to Nor
gantown. Mr.. Spear has gone on to
Fairmont.
The men who have COME in state
that the contest was not very good
one and that it was not nearly up to
the standard of last year Several of
the orations were rather good but the
rest were tame. There were three
ties for third place and we drew
fourth. Two of the colleges were un-
represented.
Westminster besides taking first
place also furnished the man for
President of the Association thus par
allelling the action Of w. V. U, last

MEET TO-DAY.
Preston County Court i'm Session to
Canvass the Vote-May Submit the
Bond Proposition Again.

To-day the county court OF Preston
county meets as board OF canvasSerS
TO canvass the vote in Valley District
of that county to declare the result.
This was defeat for the bond issue
by majority OF eight votes. An
other petition will be laid before the
court and they will be asked to sub
nit the question again to the voters.
Nothing very definite has been heard
of the attitude of the court toward
the plan but it is understood that they
will again put the matter before the
voters and allow them to pass on it
again. The sentiment was thought
to be much more favorable to the
scheme in the district than the votes
showed them TO be. 1t is claimed by
the promoters that great many false
statements were made about the prop
osition and that those who were easily
carried away had been influenced by
these.
At the next election it is expected
to be able to look out for all of the
things and the people will get a chance
to vote on the merits of the matter
without any misstatements being left
uncombatted.

ANOTHER BRIDGE.
Finest Building Sites in the Country
May Soon be Made Easy of Access.

A bridge across to the building
sites between Greenmont and South
Morgantown is being talked of again
and it has gone further than talk
this time. The people who are back
of it are thoroughly inearnest and
they have a good start on finishing
the work.
Should this bridge be built it
will add the finest building territory
in town to our available territory
and will help the town as nothing
else has done The people who
own the land and put the bridge
over will reap a great big per cent
for the money and time. Nothing
that can be done will pay better or
quicker than this move will do.

Base Ball Team is Meeting
Pittsburg College.

Being Taken in the Trip-Neither
Team has been met for Several Years
Bowman Pitches to-day and Dent
Tomorrow.
The baseball team left on Friday
mornings train for Pittsburg where
they will meet the team of Pittsburg
College this afternoon The game
is expected to be very good one
and we have hopes that we will be
able TO win it. This will be the first
time for several years that the two
teams have met and their relative
progress in that time will be watched
with interest.
Pittsburg College this year has
been playing good bal, as they al
ways do and if we down them it will
give us a good chance at w. and j.
to morrow. The latter is really the
game of the trip although of course
we want to win them both. 1t does
not make much difference if we do
lose to p. c. but we want the contest
with the Washington lads.
w and J. is in good shape. They
haven't lost a game this season.
This week however they have not
had much practice owing to wet
grounds. Of course we have had
the same drawback The Observer
over there says the following about
the game:
Baseball practice consumed but
little time at College Park on ac-
count of the wet condition of the
grounds. 1t is just little untortu-
nate for the team to have such a
condition of affairs at present; as
they meet the strong University of
W. Va, players on next Saturday.
The Morgantown boys will be hard
proposition, but the local collegians
are yet indicated, and hope to
down their opponents by a safe score.
The Second team will meet the
team from the Fairmont Normal on
Saturday afternoon here at one-thir-
ty at the University Field. The con-
test will be hard one and the two
teams will each go in to win. A

TWO BIG BALLS.

The Fraternity Expects to Give one OF
the Most Notable Dances Ever Given
in Officers OF Cadet
Corps are Arranging for an Elegant
Military and Commencement Ball.
The local chapter OF Theta M
Epsilon fraternity is making prepara-
tions to give the SWEETEST dance OF the
year on the thirtieth of this month.
This Is TO be made an annual affair
by the chapter but 1t is TO be given at
this time by the chapter on account
OF the presence of several members OF
the fraternity who will come in with
the team from w & ]. which will
play here on that day.
The invitations have not yet been
issued but they have been ordered and
several hundred of them will be sent
out. They will go to every part OF
the state and number of cut of town
people are expected to be present.
| There will be about fifty couples In
attendance.
A preventative OF each of the fra
| ternity chapters in school will be
there. The Wallace House will be
the scene Of the dance Mrs. Harti-
gan will furnish the music. The ex-
penses OF the dance will be horne by
/ the members of the local chapter and
/ their guests will not have to pay for
the tickets. Invitations to the event
| will be at a premium and it il expect
ed that the affair will be the most cx-
elusive ever given in the town.
Another ball that is to be nota-
bic affair is that to be given by the
officers of the cadet corps during the
week of Commencement. This has
not been definitely decided upon ex-
cept that the dance will be given.
I Whether it will be military exclusive
i ly or take on the characteristics Of
| the old Commencement Bal has not
| yet been determined.
Several meetings have been held
and the officers are now hard at work
getting things In shape for the dance.
They have appointed committees to
/ attend to every thing but the final de-
tails have not yet been decided upon.
1t may be held on the night Of Com
mencement.
Society people all over the state
will be glad TO learn of this determi-
nation and great many of them
will be here to attend the dance. This
feature OF Commencement week will
not be allowed to die out for some
time yet at any rate.
