foreman in the mines of the Great
Western Company, was caught under
a fall of slate in the mines about
three months ago. His skull was
crushed, and DIR. e. G. Harmon and
two other surgeons gave him up tt

a teacup, was broken away from the
main body Of the brain structure and
the skull covering it was broken away.
After few days the doctors had
the shattered brain cut away and
dressed. A healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away and a
lobe OF brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The
wound was dressed and results await
ed. The calf's head was fixed up with
one-half brain left in it.
Both the man and the calf have
progressed satisfactorily, and the mar

June It'll, 1899.
DEAR SIR:-At meeting of some
friends OF French E. Chadwick, for
mer Morgantown boy. but now dis
tInguished officer OF the United States
Navy, it was suggested that some
thing should be done at his old home
to express some appreciation of his
most valuable services to the country,
especially those rendered in the late
Spanish war.
The idea was most enthusiastically
endorsed by all to whom it was mem
toned and steps were taken to put in
to execution those suggestions. Many
OF our fellow citizens are enthusiastic
over the matter. 1t has grown epon-
taneously, till Morgantown Is too
small limit, and it is now proposed
to make 1t a state affair. We had
expected in modest way to have a
sword presentation at Morgantown,
but we are reliably Informed that
should We conclude to make popular
demonstration, Admiral Sampson,
and other distinguished men OF the
Navy, State and Nation would honor
the occasion by their presence. IL is
therefore thought that all the state of
West Virginia should be invited TO
participate therein. If it is made a
state affair We desire, first, to secure
the endorsement and cooperation of
the state officers, senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress.
The following Committee has been
appointed In relation TO the matter,
to-wit

Feeling that you are interested in
Capt. Chadwick and DESTROYS of assist
ing In honoring him, you are asked
for your opinion about the matter as
well as your cooperation and assis-
lance. Will you advise us of your
views and assist 10 formulating plans
so that the occasion will be one that
will reflect credit to the whole state?
If you concur in making this state
affair, please sign the enclosed slip

W0man's League Entertainment on
Wednesday Evening.

The high standard aimed at by
the Woman's League was more than
maintained in its final entertain.
ment held at Commencement Hall
Wednesday night.
The audience owing to the fact
that the examinations are in pro
gress, was small one, but the en-
thusiasm with which they greeted
each number made up for the lack
in numbers.
1t is impossible to go into the
merits of each number, each was
complete in tselfand of high artis
tic merit.
Misses UT, Compton, Fetzer,
Wood, Stalnaker, and Mrs. Frazer,
in the rendition OF their numbers
proved that the contest would have
been u close one, had it been carried
out.
The musical numbers of Mis- SEES
Howe, Grant, Davis, Hartigan, an d
Messrs Robert Stewart, DIR. Nc.
Kenzie, and Of the two glee club
were all thoroughly enjoyed as well
as the numerous selections recited
by Messrs. Frazer and Shaffcr.
A noticeable feature of the enter
ment, ednesday night was the
ability displayed by those who re
cited. Each one of them was stu
dent under Prot. G. H. Patterson
the head Of the elocution depart
ment and much of the artistic fin
ish was due to his careful training

Morgantown did itself proud in
voting bonds to assist in building the
proposed railroad from Kingwood to
that city, which enterprise will be OF
great advantage to both towns and
open up new and rich field between
them. There are some people who
will contest the election on the tech
nical ground that Morgantown would
become indebted beyond the consti-
tutional limit.
Ordinarily we do not believe in vio-
lating constitutional provisions; but
there are times when if the welfare OF
community is at stake, an objection
to the issue of bonds to the amount
of $45, 900 would not likely bankrupt
so progressive and modern commun-
ity as Morgantown, particularly when
it means new railroad. This rail-
road will be OF greater financial bene-
fit to Morgantown in few months
time than the expenditure of the $45,
600 will be damaging to her credit. =
