BUILDING OPERATIONS
Warming up of The Weather
Warns up The Building
Movements.

Number OF New Buildings Under Way
Wood Block and DescipIe Church The
Most Important-0thers Being Bailt
Still Others Projected-Severa
Stables Over Town Are Torn Down
or RemodelIed- Favorable Out Look
For Building Boom Of Some Magni-
tude.
Building operations have been
rather quiet about Morgantown on ac-
count Of the weather for several months
but there is good time coming. Al
ready many buildings have been be-
gun and others are projected so that
In few months we will again be in
the midst OF building boom OF no
little magnitude.
Work has already begun on several
OF these buildings and they will be
completed as fast as the weather will
permit. Among the most important
that are being constructed Is the Wood
building on Walnut street. This is
10 be two stories high and built Of
brick. The upper floor will be so con-
HSOUSd nun tnt lONti ny Int9Ic vi Il
stairway in the center il will be al
most as convenient as il 1t were all
on the same level and the resultant
floor space will be the largest in town.
This will be occupied as soon as com
pleted
The Disciples church is going up
rapidly under the direction Of Con-
tractor Jos. j. Wharton. The frame
work is up and the rest of the building
will follow at once. The church is
on Spruce street on the rear of the lot
owned formerly by George C. Steele.
The church will be completed in time
for use this coming summer early in
The season as the congregation is very
anxious to get into it.
The wing on the north of the Uni
versity building will also be completed
in the near future.
Among the dwelling houses under
construction is ono for Mrs. John on
Sunnyside and another in the same
part of town for Mrs. Sadie Houston.
Both of these are we'll advanced and
they will be completed as fast as may
be.
Fenton Rice is remodelling one of
the stables on Bumbo Lane in rear OF
his residence into two story residence
and the other stable belonging to
George Hayes on the same street is
being torn down.
The old postoffice is nearly re-
modelled into modern business house
and it will be occupied by Conway
& Hibbs in a very short time.
Among the other buildings project
ed and which are to be built soon is a
block on Peasants street opposite the
New DOMINION office This block
has pot Aeen finally decided upon but
it will probably have double store
room below, be three stories high and OF
brick. The upper floor will be rented
for office rooms.
Other buildings which will go up
soon are the Library aud Museum at
the University costing forty thousand
and the Armory to cost ten thousand.
Taking it as whole there is no sign
of very great let up in the building
to be done here but On the contrary the
out look is very satisfactory one.

two-thirds of the republican members
of the Legislature have from the out

not been single break In the lines OF

the contest has been prolonged for two
months.

Mr.. and Mrs. Rose take charge as
House-keepers at Episcopal Hall
Warden Relieved OF this Responsible
ity.
Now that Mr.. Winecof has sue
ceeded in putting the Episcopal Hall
on selfsupporting basis he and the
Bishop have made new departure
in the Management of the Hail. Mr..
and Mrs. c. e. Rose have been put in
charge of the boarding and house
keeping side of the Hall, while Mr.
Winecoff retains full charge and au-
thority as Warden. While retain
ing the same control over the be
havior admission, and dismission of
students rooming there, Mr. and
Mrs. Wincoff will thus be relieved
of the care and responsibility of the
boarding and housekeeping, and left
free accomplish more of the higher
and main purpose OF the Hall, the
making Of home for the students.
This use of two officers, q Warden
and Steward, is the original and
ideal place Tor such u Hall, but ma
turally it could not well be done till
the Hallwas first made self-support-
ing. The logical result of the new
arrangement will be to make the
Hall still more efficient.
The other denominations who are
contemplating the establishment of
Hall Of their own will be interest
ed to note the success of such an
institution rnder an efficient man
agement.

A good story is being told on
John Baker White, of Charleston,
formerly Governor MacCorkle's pri

Gently was regimental adjutant OF
the First West Virginia Regiment
When the boys were mustered out
at Columbus, Ca, he made the men
a little address, stating among other
things, that as the majority of the
men of the regiment were from the
mountains and unused to city life,
they should be careful OF their mon
ey, as there would be numbers of un-
scrupulous people awaiting an OPP
portunity to rob them in divers
ways, even to holding them up. The
boys tucked their. little pittance in
their jeans and all got home safely.
Adjutant Baker HE'D himself to New

An Unparalleled Time Record

Was made every day during the
period of the Omaha Exposition by
the trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway on its Chicago &
Omaha Short Line.
Although its trains hauled from ten
to thirteen well filled sleeping cars and
coaches each night, yet schedule time
OF arrival at Omaha and at Chicago
was an accomplished facts record
to be proud Of, and which has resulted
ia establishing the Chicago, Milwau-
kee q ST. Paul Railway in the minds
of the travelling community as the
shortest, best and most reliable route
from Chicago to Omaha, as well as to
California.

1t is formulated at caucas Of the
lower House of C0ngress-N0 per-
manent acquisition Of the Philip
pines.
WASHINGTON, March AT eau
Gus of the Democratic members of the
House of Representatives held in the
hall of the House the following declar-
alton of policy and resolutions as to
the Philippines were adopted:
We hold that the constitution of
The United States was ordained and
established for an intelligent, liberty
loving and self-governing people, and.
annot be successfully applied to a
people of different virtues and condi-
lions. We therefore hold that col
onial policy is contrary to the theory
OF our Government and subversive of
those great principles of civil liberty
which we have been taught to cherish.
We believe with the Declaration of
Independence, that all governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, and we are un-
alterably opposed to the establishment
of any government by the United
States without the consent of the peo-
pie to be governed; and in conformity
with these principles we instruct the
minority members of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee to introduce and urge
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or in
tention to exercise permanent sover-
eighty, Jurisdiction or control over the
Philippine Islands, and assert its de-
termination, when an independent
government shall have been erected
therein, to transfer to said Govern
ment, upon terms which shall be reas-
enable and just, all rights secured
under the cession by Spain, and there
upon to leave the governmental and con
troll of the islands to their people.
Another resolution by Mr. Griggs,
Georgia, was adopted, which, though
deploring the Administration policy
commends the valor of soldiers and
sailors.

through the mill-Few In number
Appropriation bill the most impor-
tant-Treasurer OF the University to
receive salary-The identity Of the
member who maaicured himself in
the House Of Delegates.
| Delegate Grant has been at home
for several days since his return from
Charleston and he has had to answer
thousands OF questions as to what was
done of interest to the people of the
county. He tells some very interest
ing things about the session and the
fun to be had by the members as we'll
as the endless work and worry it
meant to dc one full duty to his
county and TO the state.
Among the things in which Nor
gantown was interested was the report
of the constitutional revision commit
tee. This report was accepted by the
senate and sent to the house. Here
a muss arose and special conference
committee Of fifteen was appointed to
go over the report. They mutilated
it SO that nothing could be done max
ing one hundred and thirty-four
amendment to it before they had
finished. Not single one OF the
amendments proposed passed both
houses and the work done by Col.
Fast and his committee was not OF
the great benefit that it should have
been.
Few bills OF interest to the people
here out side Of the appropriation bill
for the University passed both houses.
This was passed as result OF heroic
work on the part of the men interest
ed and they had all they could do to
get it through so that any thing
could be done by the institution.
The bill to allow a salary to the
treasurer of the University was pass
cd after terrible kicking on the part
of some Of the Reubens who think
that no one should be paid for mental
work and worry. The treasurer is
here after to receive not more than
three hundred year. Heretofore for
several years he has had nothing for
his trouble and work. Formerly he
got two hundred year but this was
found to be contrary to law and the
salary was dropped. He has to give
an immense bond and to handle more
than one hundred thousand dollars a
year.
The bill proposed by e. NJ. Grant
to prevent the pumping of oil and gas
wells failed to pass having been killed
10 committee. This bill was good
one and should be resurrected later.
Appropos of the talk that he was
giving, the question came up as to who
the delegate was who had treated his
corns on the floor of the house as told
in special at the time 1t occurred.
Mr.. Grant stated that it was Outright
but that the doctoring had been done
in the Speakers room and not on the
floor as stated in the dispatch.

How Some Uniontown People Were
Swindled.
News Standard.

A bluing manufacturing company
of New England state has peculiar
method Of introducing and selling
their goods and If there is any law for
the practice it is bad thing. This
company works through agents to a
great extent. About year ago some
parties in town received packages by
mail containing Is ten-cent packages
from this company with the informa-
tion that the same was sent with the
hopes of getting the recipients to act
as agents. Letter after letter follow
ed the packages with some new prop
osition, and when the recipient Of the
article did not answer threatening
letter was received from Massachu-
setts attorney with bill for $l.S0
containing the information that If
the amount was not soon paid suit
would be brought. The whole thing
is fake scheme. though the goods
are all right. Many people pay the
amount to get rid Of the company.

DRINK LAWS OLE ENGLAND.

Mr. Booth, in his pamphlet OF the
social work OF the Salvation Army
in 1918, just issued, says with re-
gard to the ''drink laws of England:
There is no denying that the present
system of forcing public houses on the
people whether they want them or
not is fruitful cause OF cruelty, of
lunacy, of squalor. vice and crime.
The temptation to drink is put down
at every street corner; the man-trap,
with its billiards and its beer, is there
at every turn
