The current number of the West
Virginia School Journal fires broad
side into the management of the
State University which will proba-
bly, cause it to take in a little of its
canvas. We have been sticking
close to our knitting and have not
given the University any personal
attention but an article like the one
referred to can not be passed over
lightly. The School journal is the
leading educational publication of
the State Its editor is the State
Superintendent OF Free Schools, an
alumnus of the University, and also
OF Harvard. His associates are both
college bred men, and these facts
give unusual weight to an article of
this kind.
Personally, we have long been
wishing that we could hear of some
more tangible evidences of prosperi-
ty at the University than the fact
that by a ceaseless beating of the
bushes, and by sending a paid agent
after them, and by hitching on an
oyergrown kindergarten they had
been able to induce large number
of persons to come and partake OF
the good things which were offered
free by the State, and the further
fact that they had been able to pro
vide three hundred lectures on soei-
ology, in, one summer term, by
DR.. Ward and other distinguished
free lovers. We also remember that
we wondered why it was that Dir.
Raymond had declined that call to
the Presidency OF tue Iowa Univer
sity at a salary of $4,000 per year,
which statement was widely pub
lished from the vicinity of Morgan
town.
But the School journal, which is
evidently in possession of the facts,
says that a committee OF the Board
of Regents Of the Iowa University,
appointed to inquire into his fitness
for the position, reported that he
was faddish, impractical, and ex
travagant. We understand now why
he didn't accent.

MILITARY DISPLAY.
Two Companies of the Tenth
are Bound to be Here.

Acceptances have been Received from
Uniontown and Connellsyille-Na
tional Guard and University Cadets
win be In Line-G. A. II. win also be
0ut-Great Time Coming.
The Connellsville Company of the
Tenth Regiment will be here. That
much has been definitely decided
and Commander Brown has been
notified for certain. The fact that
they will come and the announce
ment can be made with absolute GER
tainty will help to swell the crowds
who will come to witness the cele-
bration.
A letter has been received in re-
gard to this company and also from
the Uniontown people. This states
that there will be about sixty men
with the Connellsville organization
and from eighty to ninety with the
Uniontown crowd. This of course
will be the number ia uniform. The
crowd with them will be numbered
by hundreds.
The military part of the celebra
tion will be very attractive one.
Nothing can draw like the companies
of the Tenth regiment with the rec
ord that they have on the field OF
battle. The people will be wild to
see them and the enthusiasm aroused
will be startling to those who do not
understand what we are to have
Several companies of the First
West Virginia will be in the parade
and the cadet corps of the Universi
ty will furnish one company of in
tantry and one saber section. All
of these displays will be worth see
ing. All of these, the marshalls and
their aides will be mounted and in
uniform and they will make show
ing that will be in keeping with the
rest Of the military organization.
The soldiers that have served
heretofore will be in the procession.
The G. A. R. will occupy proud
position and there will be represen-
tatives from number of the nearby
Posts. Invitations have been sent
to all who are in reach and they are
expected to be here in large numbers
The military parts Of the display
will be the most elaborate and i'm
posing that have ever been seen in
this section of the state if not in the
entire state. The other sections OF
the parade will not be whit behind
it. In fact the biggest day that ever
happened here will be experienced.
Everybody that can get here will be
here.

Death OF viii ifayes.

HAYES Died at the home of his
parents Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. q. Hayes
on Tuesday, September Goth. Thomas
Wilfred Hayes after an illness OF two
weeks. He had been lingering between
life and death for several days and al
though his illness was very brief one
his death was notunexpected. Thorn
as Wilfred Hayes born Dec. 6, 1878,
and had he lived until his next birth
day would have been 26 years old. He
pursued partial course In the Uni
yersity and for the last few years has
beer identified with his fathers BUSH
ness. He was young man OF bouy-
and spirits aud abundant life. He
had a most kindly disposition. His
life was full Of thoughtful, helpful
ministries to his friends. These
things are the explanation Of the past
that he was universally popular, and
that his death comes to a host of peo-
pie with the sense of a personal loss.
His business qualities were of the
highest order. These were we'll known
here, bat 1T is not generally known
that his love OF home and of his
friends here, kept him from accepting
business offers where he would have
had opportunities for wider career.
In May of this year he united with
thePresbyterian church and since that
time he has given the same earnest
ness and heartiness to the religious
life that has characterized his whole
life. 1t is safe to say that seldom has
there been death in this community
which has come with such shock to
our people, caused such universal per-
sonal sorrow, and excited such deep
and heartfelt sympathy for stricken
family. The funeral service will be
held at the family residence Thurs
day morning at 10 O'Clock and will be
conducted by Rev. A. M. Buchanan.

BRIEF NOTES.

W. A. Lily, a white man was
arrested at Pine Bluff on the
charge of stealing $40 from a
fortune-teller.
Lee King, a prominent planter
near Des Arc, was seriously shot
last week by Baxter Knauff,
who mistook him for a burglar.
A baggage-smasher at Van
Buren will be more careful in
the future. A pistol was dis
charged when he threw a grip to
the pavement, and the ball mar
rowly missed him.
Gov. Jones has restored to cit
izenship Clucas Cannon, of In
dependence county, convicted OF
grand larceny and sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary.
In response to a request Gov
Jones will send the flag of the
1st Arkansas Volunteers to Raj
eigh, N. c., to be used in grand
Confederate bazaar to be given
there soon.

4 a COW and runs as follows:


Through the timely assistance
of a railroad locomotive we are
minus a COW. She was a pale
dun COW with a pensive look, a
crumpled horn and caudal ap-
pendage which had been ampu-
tated, about thIe) inches long,
rendering it about as useful in
fly time as the Philippian Islands
and a large standing army will
be to the United States. She
was a COW that could be depend.
ed upon in summer time to throw
down gates and eat her weight
in garden truck, and in the
winter sne would stand with her
gable end toward Little Rock
and let the cold north wind blow
through her whiskers until her
milk would free re. She at last
became useless as a producer,
having passed the age when she
could point with pride to her
bright young posterity, but as
prospective boarding house beef
she helped us shove th' wolf off
the doorstep. Though her milk
resort was dry as McKinley's
message, she was useful to us.
When our credit ran low we
would drive the poor old thing
through the town so that people
who kept groceries and other
things we wanted could see that
we were a property holder, and
times would be prosperous for a
few days. This sta of things
might have gone on indefinitely
like civil service appointment,
but one day the COW took a n>tion
to Craze on the old corsets and
tooth brushes which flourish
along the railroad track, and now
she has gone to that bourne
from whence no COW ever returns.
Just as a train was coming she
attempted to reach the other side
of the tack for picking, like a
goldbug trying to get into the
democratic party. Tbs engineer
pulled the toot string of his
machine, but it was too late,
and her bright red gore was
spattered over the company's
right of way and our only visible
means of support was no more.
The worst part of the affair is
that after killing our COW the
soulless corporation which owns
the locomotive that tossed the
COW with the crumpled horn,
aided and abetted by a section
boss and three appraisers, offers
us the paltry sum of three dol
lars and a half for her. Her hide
was worth a dollar, and her
bones could have been sold in a
Little Rock butcher shop for fen
cents a pound. and yet the rail-
road company, upon whose gold
plated mortgage we have helped
to pay the interest, says she was
only worth three dollars and a
half. Hanged if we ever will
drive another COW on the track.

A FREE MAN AGAIN.

There is a hnge OF sadness III
the closing woPds of Governor
Bob Taylor as he surrendered
the honors and responsibilities
of his high Office to his successor,
Benton Mcmillan. There runs
through his clLsing address the
thought that the man is happiest
who never aspires to high office,
that the pains and penalties out
weigh the hoe DPS and pleasures,
and in fine, that the game is not
worth the candle. This is a part
of his closing address:
Mr.. Speaker, Ladies and Gen.
tlemen-I am about to shuttle off
this mortal coil OF politics and
fly away to the haven OF my ma
tive mountains, where | may
think and dream in peace, sac
from the sickening sting of un-
Just criticism; safe from the
talons of some old political vul-
ture; safe from the Shiny kiss of
hypocrisy and the keen dagger of
ingfaitude.
lido not mean to say that all
politicians are yul lures, or that
that they are all hypocrites aud
assassins, for the great majority
of our public men are upright
and honest, and worthy of the
confidence reposed in them by
the people, yet there are black
wings in the political armament
and reptiles crawl and hiss in
every capital. But, thank God,
the live thunders of eternal truth
always clear the atmosphere and
the heel of justice will surely
bruise the serpant's head.
I do not retire from this high
office with the rankings of dis
appointment and chagrin in my
bosom, but rather as one retires
from labor to rest; from war to
peace; from trouble to happi-
ness.
/ do not retire the somnambu-
list of a shattered dread, but
with all the buds of hope BURST
ing into bloom, and all the bow
ers of the future ringing with
melody. am contented with
my lot in life. Three times /
have worn the laurels of honor
twined by the people of my ma
tive state, and that is glory
enough for me.
While | believe that the good
in politics outweighs the bad,
yet how thorny is the path, and
how unhappy the pilgrimage to
him who dares to do his duty |!
There are no flowers, except a
few boquets snatched from the
graves of fallen foes; there is
no happiness except the tran
sient thrill of cruel triumph
which passes like a meteor across
the heart.
Every honest man who runs
for office is a candidate for trou-
BILE, for the fruits of political VIC
tory turn to ashes on the lips.
To me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a can lidate.
He is like a mariner without a
compass, drifting on the tempest.
tossed waves of uncertainty, be-
tween the smiling cliffs of hope
and the frowning crags of fear
He is a walking petition and O
