FOR THE GIRLS.
Plea For a Home For Them
While at Morgantown

Sentiment being Worked up for Won.
ans Hall at The Uniyersity-It Is
Greatly Needed and the University
Will be Strongly asked for it-A Let
ter on the Subject From Wheeling
Woman-Everything Urges the Move
on the Part of the Law Makers.
Effort is being made over the state
to work up a sentiment for Woman
Hall at the University. Some very
good things have been issued in this
direction. Among them is the follow
ing letter:
1t was considered great advance
ment in the progress of our state when
the doors of our West Virginia Uni
yersity were SO justly thrown open TO
women. That there was no mistake
in this decision was fully shown by
the number of girls who availed them
selves of this opportunity. West Vir-
ginia is slightingly spoken of as the
Mountainous State, and as an unde-
veloped state, but the grand success
of our University proves that we are
not behind other states in desire for
culture. The women of our state have
shown their love for education in its
highest form.
Just here arises a problem in the
college experiment. Parents are anx-
ious for their daughters to be educa-
ted-equally as well as their sons, but
while they may trust a boy to look out
for himself, and endure the varieties
of boarding houses he may meet in a
college town, or trust him to be true
to home training in the many draw
backs of the clubs, knowing that any
boyish misbehavior will be passed over
and forgotten with his college days,
with the girls all is different. She
cannot pass from boarding house to
club, and be thrown with all varieties
of people, Her very innocence may
be the cause of a lasting scandal a.
gainst her fair name, which may fol-
low her through life. No, the girl
must be under care that will protect
her at all times.
Must not the state see its duty in
this line, that after admitting girls,
it must care for them? This can be
done only in one way. We all know
how much better it would be for the
boys if they were under the same roof
and same care after school hours.
Then how absolutely necessary for
girls.
We plead for a dormitory such as
other state colleges provide, such as
parents are begging may be given
their daughters. Education is the
safeguard of a nation. We must use
every allurement to persuade people
to be educated, then why not provide
safe place for them who long to come,
but who are restrained by the fact
that no provision has been made for
a home shelter for girls?

MISS BROOKS PAPER.
Read before the w. C. L. U.-A splen-
did effort-State President here.

One of the best papers ever read be-
fore any of our local gatherings was
that given to the w. G. T. T. Thurs
day afternoon by Miss Matte Brock.
The meeting was at the home of Mrs.
Jas. III. Stewart and was largely at
tended, several new members coming
in for the first time. The subject OF
Miss Brooks paper was, 1.-THE Womans
Christian Temperance Union and Wo-
man Suffrage It was filed with a fine
satire which save keen point to her
meaning. Miss Brock cited instance
after instance from history to show
that woman has splendldly performed
her part in public as well as private
life and dwelt at length on the reas-
ons set forth by the other sex why
she should not have the ballot all of
which reasons were skillfully demol-
iShed.
Miss Brock was followed by Mrs. j.
A. Barbe who spoke briefly and well
for woman suffrage. Mrs. n r. G.
Morrow State President of the w. G.
T. q. and strong advocate of wom-
an suffrage, then discussed the sub
ject in mastery way, dwelling on
the fact that as a matter of justice
women should be given the ballot.
The wornout arguments that it would
make women less womanly to appear
in political matters, and that women
do not as a class want the ballot were
dealt with in the cleverest manner.
After a social half hour spent in en-
joying delicious cake and coffee pro-
vided by the hostess, the guests de-
parted, voting the afternoon to have
been one Of the most delightful of the
year.
The next meeting will be held with
Mrs. S. V. Leech. The paper will be
by Mrs. j. w. Wiles on the subject

GOING ALONG WELL.
New Bridge will soon be finished and
ready for subcommittee after money.

The work is going very fast on
the new bridge over Falling Run. A
number of the parts of the new work
are up and the men are nearly ready
to pull down the old one. 1t will
take but a few days to get the
structure done and if they have fair
weather for a short time they will
get it ready for the public.
The committee who have charge
Of the collecting have gotten into the
work and are after the people who
have put their names down for vari-
Gus sums. The committee is com
posed of John Samsel, d. B. Waters
and j. w. Wiles.

FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
VIM. FL. BAILEY. 100.

-Four votes were lost the voters by
mistake giving a school ticket to
the commissioner instead of a Dor
ough ticket so they could not be
counted.
AS but 100 ballots were cast for
Mr.. Bailey it is fair to him to say
that for long time there were no
tickets at the polls and voters could
only cast the borough ticket. He
would have received the full vote ex-
cept for this.
SOUTH MoRGANTowN OFFICERS.
South Morgantown did not make
very much fuss about it but the
town held an election yesterday and
elected full town ticket. Mr.. Geo.
Hall will be the mayor for the next
twelve months, John J. Brown, re-
corder and S. McGara, S. p Huston,
Emil Schultz, I'll. Stansberry and j.

The withdrawal of L. Y. Keck took
place before the voting began and be-
fore the polls were opened. He did
not wait until the voting had been
going on for some time and then with
draw his name.

Died

BowMAN-Mrs. Agnes Bowman
died at the home Of her daughter
Mrs. Orlando Shay in Keyser this
state at 2 A. NJ, on Friday, January
9th, 1899, aged SIS years Deceased
was well known here as she had
spent the greater part of her life in
Morgantown. She was born in Ger

with her parents to Pennsylvania
She was united in marriage to Dr.

Bowman, Of Rowlesburg. Mrs Bow
man and her daughter Mrs. Google
resided here until few years
ago when they removed to
Keyser whera Mrs. Shay lived.
For sometime past Mrs Bowman
had oeen feeble and her great age
made her recovery very doubtful.
She had a host OF friends here who
will regret to learn of her demise as
she was universally esteemed by all
who knew her. The remains will be
brought to Morgantown for inter
ment the funeral taking place from
the 3:l2 train on the 7inst. Her
daughters, Mrs. Shay, Mrs Google,
Mr.. A. H. Bowman and her grand

ment at the death of the aged and
revered lady.

Few Votes-OnlY Man Defeated Yes
terday-Bailey Elected to School
Board Unanimously.
The town elections held on Thurs
day were the most quiet affairs ever
pulled off in Morgantown under the
guise of elections There had been
no chance for the ticket in Seneca
arousing any fight but it was ex-
pected that in the old town there
would be hot time.
The only thing that prevented
this was a withdrawal notice that
Mr.. Keck issued in the morning be-
fore the voters had begun to cast
their ballots very heavily. The
withdrawal is as follows:
TO MY FRIENDS.
Having accomplished all that /
contemplated, in the agitation of a
non partisan election, it was i'm
possible for me to convince myself,
even on the morning Of the election
day, that | should be candidate for
Mayor, much as you have expressed
a wish that | should But my final
decision is, that / will not, and in so
doing, you have my sincere thanks
for your efforts in my behalf, and
promises of support.
Respectfully yours,
L. Y. LECK.
After this the election went along
easily and the old ticket was elected
by very large majority. There
were number Of votes cast for Keek
even after he had announced his
withdrawal from the fight.
The new rulers are the same as
those that we had last year and
Morgantown is assured of a safe,
sound and business like administra
tion during the next twelve months.
The street paving middle will be
Strengthened out and everything will
be lovely.
Seneca elected the ticket nomi-
mated with the exception of August
Stenger He and five others were
nominated for council. The others
were members Of the old council
Out of fitty-five votes cast he re-
ceived twenty-five so that the win
ner did not have much to crow over.
w. H. bailey was elected as a
member of the board of education to
represent Seneca on the Morgantown
Independent school district board.
There was no opposition in Seneca
and the voters voted for him until
they ran out of tickets and then
they had to stop. That however
vas the only thing that stopped
them. Mr. Bailey is all right and
the people all know it.
Less than half the vote in the
borough was polled and the vote
was as follows:
