Bill, Providing for the Execution of

Branches Of the Legislature "A new
Method Proposed for Raising Money
for the State University.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. IL
Driven from its own chamber and sub
sequently from the Supreme Court
chamber by the committee on arrange
ments for the legislative ball, the
State Senate met this afternoon in
the judiciary committee room. 1t
was scene which appealed to the
sense of humor of the bare quorum
present. and the proceedings were
opened with the singing in unison of
"The West Virginia Hills" Senator
Marcum leading with his cultural
basSo voice.
The proceedings were enlivened by
more good-natured repartee than is
ordinarily manifested by that grave
body of law makers. Almost the en-
tire afternoon was devoted to the con-
sideration of House bill No. 10, a
drastic measure providing severe pun
ishment for attorneys who fail to
turn over money collected by them
within sixty days Senator Lanham
championed the bill in vigorous way,
but its opponents tackled on so many
amendments that out of sheer desper-
alton the friends of the bill finally
voted to table it.

In the house finance committee,
Malcolm Jackson introduced a bill
prepared by himself and Geo. G. Stur-
giss, Of Morgantown, providing a new
method Of supporting the State Uni
versity. 1t is one of the important
matters to be submitted to the present
Legislature, and is meeting with gen.
eral favor. The bill aims to increase
the annual tax upon domestic corpor-
ations from $40 to $25, and upon for
eign corporations from $50 to 500.
The excess over the present revenue is
to go to the Board of Regents of the
University for the maintenance of
that institution. The increased tax
would amount to 1925. 900 year and
would save to the State for other in
situations the amounts now appropri-
ated for the University

Hard on.a Watch.

Tt is bad practice to be continually setting q watch by the stem-setter, observed a watch repairer to a report CT, flor it has a tendency to wear out the band that attaches the hands to the pinion. The hands are frightened to the pinion as firmly as they can be, and every setting loosens them some what. There is q class of persons who set their watches every day rather than give a little attention to the mat ter of regulating them. They find that the watch gains or loses a minute or a few minutes in each twenty-fOur hours, and instead of curing this by the regulator, which is put in the watch for that purpose and no other, they force back or forward the hands by the stem-setter or by key. If the hand pinion wears out, which it ire quentIy does, it is considerable of a job to put in new one or place new hands on it, and the work necessarily costs something, for watch repairers have to charge for their work. If a person knows that watch gains or loses a certain amount in each day, II is better to calculate back or forward than to be continually setting it. A little study of the regulator will do the work much better, without the risk of wearing out anything

YOBCGGARING ON FIXES PEAK. for eoastlng down the track, the aver- age descent ot which is S44.S feet per mile. The toboggan is supposed to be used only for pleasure purposes, no employe being authorized to use it while ill dIscnarge O. his duties
 The device consists essentially of a plank 12 inches wide and feet in length, along the middle of the under side of which there is a cleat which runs between the rack bars and holds the toboggan thereon. On either side of the middle cleat there are brake shoes bolted to the plank at one end and bearing against the outside sur faces of the rack bars or cog teeth.
 These brake shoes are applied by clamps bent over the sides of the plank and operated by a lever which, as ap- pears in the illustration, the rlder holds within his grasp.
 The plank bears upon the upper edges of the cog teeth by steel runners, which consist Of two straps bent over the ends of the plank. To hold the device in balance bar or pole is bolted to the top cf the plank, cross wise, extending over the track rail on either side. Across the front end Of the plank there is bolted a rest for the r4der's feet.
 The method of operating the device is simply to place tue toboggan on the track, sit aoWn and attend to the brake
 The speed attainahle with this tobog- gan depends upon the pleasure of the rider. A record of a fraction under mile a minute has been made on the particular toboggan shown in this il- lustration, there being many of them in use on the road.
 The entire stretch of track from the top of the peak, down to Manitou, nine miles, is used, except at four points where the track rails diverge at sid ings. At these points the rider must come to q stop and carry his toboggan about 40 feet It is officially stated that on one occasion an employe of the company made the entire trip over the nine miles in II minutes.
 The high friction created by the con tact of the runners with the rack rails causes the former to heat, and on the ,ghter grades of to 12 per cent the heated runners have been known to adhere to the rack rail and stop the toboggan.
 For the purpose Of fabrication and 10 prevent the runners from unduIy heat ing. the rider carries bar of soap which he applies to the top of the rack teeth by reaching over in front of the toboggan. Even then the friction is so great that at very high speed on the long grades streams of fire follow the t0boggan

RETIRED TO QUEENSTOWN,

Large British Cam at stormberg juno
ton Frok en- Up.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Mail
publishes the following from Burgh-
ersdorf, dated Nov. 2:
1.-THE large British camp at Storm
berg Junction has been broken up by
the order of Sir Redvers Butler. Every
thing, including guns, stores, tents and
the usual paraphernalia of camp is
being removed to Queenstown, about
five miles east of Storm berg.
IAN Orange Free State force, about
S, 900 strong, with several guns, which
for some time was concentrated Just
across the Orange river, has crossed the
bridge at Bethulie, destroying portions
of the railway on its march. This is
obviously with the intention of check.
ing the coming ad vance of our army
corps.
"The impression here is that the re-
moval Of the Stormberg camp may re-
suit in large number of the colonial
Beers joining the enemy. The English
section is utterly upset at the with
drawal of the British forces and the
serious news from Natal"
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Mail says he understands that in
addition to Stormberg, Rosemead juno

11ated <..a

INVADING CAPE COLONY.

Beers Intend to Occupy . Most Impor-
tant Railroad Point.
LONDON, Nov. Dispatches show
that Orange Free State forces are pre-
pared to invade Cape Colony. These
forces are not overwhelming, but the
Dutch in the eighborhood of Coles
berg and Burghersdorp aare exception
ally pro-Boer, and their support is evil
IDENTIFY expected. The objective of this
force of Beers will probably be Naauw
Poort, one of the most important
strategic railroad points in South AZ
RIGA, and which will probably be, it is
said here, the first advanced depot of
the second division of the army corps.
Naauw Poort is understood to be we'll
garrisoned and able to take care of it
self. Trains thence to Colesburg have
been almost suspended.
Advices from Cape Town show that
the people there are beginning to real
ize the seriousness of the situation in
Natal. The merchants are apprehen-
sive of the Beers overrunning the entire
country, and it is reported that many
of them have instructed their represen-
tatives to leave Pietermaritzburg. In
spite of the optimism of the military
men there is a feeling of general anx-
iety at Cape Town. The Orange river
is reported to be SO swollen that the
drifts are impossible and the Beers
hold the wagon bridge at Philipopolis,
which is the only means of crossing. a..

LOl.DoN, Nov. 1.-THE war Office has
issued the following announcements:
1.-THE colonial Office has received in
formation to the effect that the British
troops have with drawn from Colenso,
and have concentrated further south,
but we have no news of any engage
ment in that neighborhood."
News that Colenso has been evacu-

British public and is arousing fears

which emanated Thursday from DIR.
