PROSPEROUS CHURCH.
ReY. I'll. &. St0etzer is getting along
well with his work.

The Carlisle Evening Sentinel Of
recent date says some very nice things
about the Dickinson church of which
Rev. III. G. Stoetzer who married a
daughter of Hon John. j. Brown Of
this place, is pastor. The many
friends of the pastor and his wife will
be glad to learn of their success. The
article is as follows:
Eleven persons united with Dickin-
son Presbyterian church Sunday, max
ing one hundred and twenty four dur
ing the pastorate of Rev. III. G. Stoet-
ger of less than five years. In that
number there are thirty husbands
and their wives.
The people are at the present time
improving the parsonage putting in a
bath room and adding other convent
ences.
The people deserve much common
dation for their progressive spirit and
generosity.
The G. e. Society added forty fine
volumes to the library started last
February making over five hundred
volumes. It also presented the
church with beautiful communion
table, which was used last Sabbath
for the first time.

SOUNDS VERY QUEERLY.
Officer Says men don't want to leave the

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. f.
Maj. G. d. Elliot of the Second West
Virginia regiment now at Greenville
S. c., aud Captain G. e. Morrison, OF
Company G, First West Virginia, are
here. Captain Morrison was enroute
to Columbus, Ca, to rejoin his regi-
ment, after spending leave OF alb
sence at his home at Parkersburg,
while Major Elliot expects to remain
here several days.
Captain Morrison says that as far
as he knows there is little foundation
for the report that the two regiments
are likely to soon be mustered out of
the service, and he believes that few
members of the First regiment SO de-
sire. He thinks on the contrary, that
nearly all the men are anxious to be
sent to Cuba, and the numerous let
tiers reported as having been sent to
the Senators and Congressman for
West Virginia, if they have been sent
at all, be says. are from relatives and
friends of the men at home, who are
ANXIOUS to have them back-not from
the men themselves. So far, dis
charges have been secured with little
difficulty, for those who wanted them
and Captain Morrison thinks if any
OF the men want discharges they can
get them without the regiment being
mustered out

They Say Nothing.

Do the city papers say anything
in regard to your locality? asks an
exchange. Do they contain notices
of your schools, lodges and the hun
dreds of local matters of interest
your home paper publishes? Not an
item. Do they publish word cal
culated to draw trade to your town
and your enterprise? And yet there
are men who take contracted views
in this matter, who think if they
don't get as many square inches of
reading matter in their home paper
they are not getting the worth of their
money. It reminds one of the man
who took the largest pair of boots in
the box because the price was the
same as the pair that fitted him.
Take the city paper if you want one,
but don't let it crowd the local paper
out of your home

The winter quarter of the Univer-
sity began this morning with most
encouraging prospects. There are
thirty five or forty new students in
and quite number more new ones
will be here during the next few
days.
The total enrolment is now about
700. OF these there are about ITO
young ladies. Some of the very
best of the new students who came
in this week are young ladies, and
they have come from various parts
of this and other states Many of
them are able to take advanced
standing. The rapid increase in the
number of young lady students and
their high character and standing
are very gratifying to all friends of
the University.
The new chapel hour is 90 minutes
before 8 A. NJ. Dr. Reynolds, the
chaplain of the University, will give
course of chapel lectures or talks
on the general subject Of the History
and Science of Religion, and all stu
dents who attend these chapel lee
lures regularly will receive credit
for them. This new arrangement
will doubtless have a tendency to
encourage chapel attendance, al
though the hour is quite early. The
attendance at chapel this meraing
was quite large
The old students came back
promptly from their holiday vaca-
ton. The new rule as to absences
from the first days work served to
hurry the students back.
DR.. Sanders, who took his vaca~
ton during the fall quarter, has re-
turned and resumed his work. This
gives Prof. Fast an opportunity to
take his vacation during the win
ter quarter, which he will do, spend
ing the time at Charleston as a
member of the State Senate,
Prof Miller, who has been very
sick for some time at his home at
Fairmont has returned to the Univer-
sity but is not yet we'll enough to take
up all of his work. Prof. Hodges is
performing his class officer duties for
him and Mr.. Friend, Fellow in En-
glish, has been teaching his classes.
Prof. Brown who has been quite
sick with fever is much improved and
hopes to be able to meet his classes
in a few days.
All of the other members of the
Faculty are in their places and the
work is progressing satisfactorily in
all departments.

one of the most notable in the history
of this nation. His public service

CHARLESTON, W Va. Jan. BE
fore the supreme court Of appeals adj
journed Judge j. f. Holt gave notice
that another mandamus would be ap-
piled for before the next sitting of the
court. The regular time for the court
to meet next is on January IL, but
Judge Brannon announced that the
court would be in session on the 10th.
The supreme court will be asked to
issue writ of mandamus to Secretary
of State Dawson to compel him to
place the name Of j. ID. Logan OF
Monroe county, on the roll Of the
members of the House of Delegates.
Secretary of State Dawson has put the
name Of G. M. Via, Republican con-
testant, on the roll instead of Logan's
name, and the list has been printed
and is in circulation as the correct
roll, Notwithstanding the fact that
Logan has the certificate from the
Monroe county court. AS will be re-
membered Logan democrat was declar-
ed elected by majority of five by the
county court. Upon a recount the
circuit court reversed this by declaring
Via elected by majority OF four
votes.
The Republicans undertook to have
the supreme court act upon the case
by certiorari proceedings, but owing
to the rule in vogue the case could
not be heard until reached in its reg
ular order on the docket This prob
ably would place it after the opening
of the legislature and would not ac-
complish the ends desired. Thus the
matter was temporarily disposed of,
and has been revived by the action Of
the secretary of state in placing Was
name on the roll instead of Logan,
who holds certificate.
It is understood as stated by Judge
Holt to the court that application
will be made some time this week.
The case will then likely be considered
on January 10th, the day before the
opening of the legislature. The ap-
plication will be made by Logan.
His attorneys are Hon. J. H. Holt
and Judge A. N. Campbell
