Rev. Mr.. Price. for the las, FIVE years
a missionary of the \. y. G. r. VI. n
Ruk, came unexpectedly on the China
en- route to the States. His original
plan had been to come upon the mis-
sion vessel, II. w. Logan. but while

on the reef and became a total wreck.
There was a furious westerly gale.

could save her. Mr.. Price then took
passage on a Japanese brigantine OF
$50 tons, with 10000 pounds OF copra
as freight, bound for Toxic. When they
got within 600 miles OF Japan they
could go no farther, and after attempt
ing il for FIVE days they went back to
Borin, and landed Mr.. Price there.
There are some 5000 inhabitants with
a Japanese governor. Mr.. Price found
comfortable quarters at the japanese
hotel. He reports n wonderful progress
of Christian work under the auspices
of the (English) Episcopal Mission in
Japan. \ young man of mixed POr-

Bonin arrived and took MIR. Price to
Yokohama. After a stay OF six days
there he took passage on the China

NATIONAL GOAnD NOTES,
Promotion of Babb to Cause
Some Changes.

A Number OF Officers Are to be Showed

The Changes Scott cf EairmoGt Is II

The appointment of Col Macker
Babb of the First Regiment National
guard to place in the Marine Service
leaves another vacancy in the Guard
which will have to bs filed by pro
motion Of one q .3.e - ..>.tls..,., ~
GERS. Major Scott Of Fairmont will
be the one TO sc up as he is the rank.
ing major.
There is already one vacancy in the
list of majors in the regiment and
the retirement Of Col. Babb will make
another. Who BaDb's successor is to
be has not yet been announced but
there are some who believe that Scott
will be jumped into the place over the
head OF Ash. This was done ia the
case Of Babb who was given the COM
mission over the same officer and there
is the same political reason this time
why it should be done again.
If it Is done 1t is generally believed
that Lieut.. Col. Ash will resign from
the service. In the chances that ere
to take place Babb's staff goes down.
This lets Gramm and Laughlin out of
the guard. The latter may get anoth-
er place but the former is expected to
retire permanently.
The ranking captain in the regi-
ment is Captain Jones Of Palatlne but
that officer is TO resign very soon and
this will leave Captain Moore Of Mar
tinsburg as the senior He will get
one of the majors commissions. The
Captain OF the Wellsburg Company is
next on the list but he is not serious
ly considered as he will probably not
take the examination for promotion.
Captain Jones OF Morgantown is next
and Captain Scott of Terra Alta comes
next.
Il is possible that Jones of this
place will be promoted and If he does
the officers in this company will each
be showed up peg if they can pass
the examinations and of this there is
little doubt. All these changes and
moves are TO take place shortly and
the members of the guard will be kept
busy finding out just what has been
done and who has been struck by IL.
The local company is getting ready
to go to Wheeling on Dewey Day and
it will be ia good shape for that event
in case they are invited. Two mer
have been enlisted and there are plac-
es for some more good men. None
but those who expect to attend drills
need apply. No bummers are wanted
The company is one Of the best in the
state as regards personnel and it will
be kept that way.

STUDENTS TO PAY The COST.
The w. and ] College Faculty
Want SAYS.

Six Students Cited to Faculty As Par

Night of October 31-Thc Uitimatum
Given Them Was to Settle or Take
Consequently Other Students
viii Stand by the Six.
The w. and j. college faculty is
having its inning in the Halloween
sports. The students had theirs
over month ago when they went
out on tear" with the result that
the college grandstand was partially
destroyed by fire, while considerable
dam age was done TO the articles of
furniture in the main college build
ing. The fire at the grand stand
was put out by the volunteer fire
company, and as the structure is old
and about worthless, the damage
there was not great. However, the
college authorities believe that what
was done is worth nearly $500, and
this is the amount the students
must pay for their fun.
As the weeks rolled around, the
college boys began to think that the
faculty was going to let the Hal
low'een affair pass without further
mention and take the money for
damage done, from the general dam
age fund, which is deposited by the
studr.ts at the beginning of each
college year. However, the faculty
was looking into the Meter and
there was some surprise when six
students were brought before the
president and accused of having
been among the participators in the
Hallow cen escapade. Although
these students denied having taken
any active part in the work of de-
struction, the faculty had evidently
ascertained that they were in the
crowd and were held before the fac
ulty's bar of justice as guilty. Then
for the sentence. The young men
were told that the damage done to
property would amount to $475 and
if settlement was made at this figure
no further action would be taken in
the matter.
In the meantime these students
consulted with others who had been
engaged in the affair, and meeting
of two classes was held Thursday,
and those present decided to stand
by the six "unfortunates" and as
sist in raising the necessary fund.
1t is likely chat levy will be made
and the amount raised within the
next few days, and thus the matter
will be settled.

The Supreme court has handed
down decision Of interest locally
and its announcement has been a
very pleasant one to several gentle
men. The style of the suit was
Coombs vs. Shisler. The parties te
it were DR.. L. II. Coombs general
receiver for the court and Messrs E.
Shisler, William Moorhead, George
NJ. John and George W Johnson.
The latter being ir solvent was not
liable and left the first named gen
tlemen to bear the brunt of the suit.
The suit was brought to recover the
amount lett unaccounted for by
John II Hoffman who was short

court and the parties against whom
it was brought had been his sure.
ties.
The amount involved would APP
porxinate ten thousand dollars. The
contention of the defendants was
that the bond not having been re.
newed within two years after it had
been made was worthless. This view
seems to have been upheld by the SUI
preme court.
The circuit court was reversed
and the case dismissed. The opin
ion was by Brannon Whether OF
not the suit can be brought in some
other manner is not known. 1t may
have been dismissed because it was
brought in the wrong way and che
decision may rest on the merits OF
the case.
Other decisions from this judicial
district were also handed down. All
but one of them were reversals OF
the circuit court. However out Of a
total OF nine cases decided at this
term of the supreme court from this

ans. But seven of the nine were de
cisions of Hagans. This is very
much above the average among the
decisions of the supreme court.
The other decisions of interest &c

ANOTHER Big FACTORY.

Ii Is Hunting Location Morgantown
Is Preferred Two Weeks Wages and
Five Acres OF Ground Wanted I'm
mense Concern-lt Is with the Peo-
pie of the Town TO Act.

PIE Oh the TOWN 10 Act
Another big factory Is hunting a
location in Morgantown. The prop
osition was received here on Satur-
day afternoon and was sent to f.
NJ. Grant as head of the b. Il !.
Company. The company is now
running plant but wants to move
and would like to locate in Morgan
town on account Of the many advan-
tages afforded by this place in the
way of excellent fuel and transpor.
tation which we can give them.
They want five acres of ground for
site and bonus Of ten thousand
dollars.
They will employ from 200 to 225
men and will have a payroll of S10,-
900 every two weeks. This will be
the largest plant in the town IL OH
tanned. 1t is as large as the plant
now being built at Point Marion.
The Improvement Company hasn't
any ground left in Seneca as all that
it has has been given away to plants
that have already been secured.
The proposition is hereby sub.
mitted to the people of the town tor
their decision. 1t is urged that they
take some action in the matter. We
can with very little effort get plant
that will pay out over quarter of a
million dollars year and that will
add more to the development of the
town than any thing that we have
vet landed
There ought to be plenty of places
around here that will afford site
and the money should be raised
without any trouble. The pay roll
will include only men. No boys will
be employed in the factory and the
wages paid in consequence will av-
erage higher than usual in the glass
! factory.
Morgantown has another chance to
show what there is in her and what
she will do when the occasion arises.
1t Is with the people who are most
interested to get move on them.
The chance should be improved.
1t will mean the addition of a thou
sand souls to the population of the
town and will add more to our wealth
than anything that we have ever got
ten here.
The names of the gentlemen max
ing the proposition as well as the pres
ent location OF the plant are Withheld
| for obvious reasons.
What action will we take?
