ART SCHOOL OPEN TO VISITORS
A Large Number Of People See tn,
Art Exhibit at the University to. day

The chief thing of interest at the
Universitysto-day has been the exhibit
of the art school. This is the second
annual exhibit given by this depart
ment and the work shown is in every
way creditable to the school and to
its head, Mrs. Hubbard. Quite a
large number of people visited the
studio during the day.. and on all
sides complimentary remarks were
made concerning the exhibit. Sever
al still life students were especially
complimented by the visitors.
That the department is success
and fills a necessary place in the Uni
versity is evident. 1t brings students
to our own institution who would
otherwise go out of the state for in
struction in no way superior to that
provided here. The school is espec-
tally in keeping with the admission OF
women to the University. Since we
have co-education institution, nc
effort should be left unmade to pro-
vide instruction along the same lines
and of the Same quality as that fur
nished in the best women's colleges.

Great Democratic Leader Peacefully
Passes away.

LEBANON, Mo, June 17-Con-
gresham Richard Parks Bland died
at his home, near Lebanon, peaceful
ly and without apparent suffering.
Mr.. Bland returned home when
congress adjourned in March and
soon suffered relapse from an at
tack of la grippe For more shan
two months ne had been confined to
his home, and his health has grad
ually declined. He thought he would
not survive the attack from the first,
and showed his thorough knowl
edge of his condition. On the Sd of
this month Mr.. Bland suddenly
grew worse, and his sons, who were
in school, were summoned home, and
for the first time the public was in
formed of his critical condition.
From time to time since then the
patient showed signs of improve
ment, but he continued to grow
weaker Sunday and Monday he
presented an improved condition,
and Monday afternoon strong hopes
for his recovery were entertained.
About ten o'clock Tuesday night,
he fell asleep and continued in that
condition until death.

A TREACHEROUS SET.
Returning Soldiers DenOunce Our
CubauS Bitterly.

Ed Shroyer, son of Bud Shroyer of
Fairmont, and Harry Tenant, son of
Andrew Tenant, of Centre, returned
last week from Manzanillo, Cuba,
where they had been doing service for
Uncle Sam says the Free Press. They
were members of Co. G, 4th U. S. Vol.
lmmunes and were in the service over
a year. Mr.. Shroyer is very much
tanned from the hot sun of Cuba, and
was i'll for some time with the fever.
Mr.. Tenant looks as though his trip
and stay in that country had been
well with him. Neither of them
have much sympathy for the Cubans,
who are proving to be treacherous
set of people. The Spaniards are to
be preferred, as being more honorable.
Their stories of the Islands and the
work of the government in its con-
duct of the Island are very interest
ing.

Two interesting games of ball will
be played on the University grounds
tomorrow and Thursday between
the University team and Waynes-
burg College.
Manager Sweeney is thinking of
keeping his team here for week or
two after commencement to play
some additional games. The pur-
pose of this is to try to pay off the
indebtedness Of the team. Several
Of the games played this season
were not successful financially, and
the result has been deficit in the
teams treasury ut the close of the
school year. No one is to blame for
this, IL was caused by circumstances
over which no one had control.
We hope Manager Sweeney will be
successful in his attempt to pay out.

in which he stated that the protec

without government nursing monop-
olIes controlling industrials could

per cent as the maximum rate of
tariff duties. TO make an excuse
for the sugar trust Mr. Havemeyer
says sugar company stocks are earn

neglected to state that the trust was
capitalized at three times the actual
amount of money invested.

Argus Wants to See The Railroad Go.

The following items are taken from
the Kingwood Argus.
On with the railroad to Morgan
town. Let the iron horse be uncon
fined and go snorting down Decker's
Greek and scare all the terrapins and
land snappers out of that sction.
Now let the friends Of the road
out In Valley district take off their
coats and keep them off till after the
election on Saturday and duplicate
the big victory for push and enterprise
won by the good people of Morgan
town and Morgan district. Don't be
behind in the onward march for i'm
provement and the development of
our county's resources. Don't vote
against the road because it don't pass
your door or because you have sold
your coal land or have grudge
against some one who favors the road.
Make it solid for the road, and let the
dirt begin to fly at once.

Most Auspicious.

The commencement exercises at
the state university are we'll under
way and promise to be the most sue
cessful in the history of the school.
The past year has been notable one
at the states school and nearly / 900
students have been enrolled In all de-
partments. Marked progress has
been made in every line of study and
the university is rapidly coming to
the front rank among similar institu-
tions of the country. The closing
exercises this year are, therefore,
most suspicious in every way, mark
ing as they do the highest notch yet
attained by the school. Wheeling

Sentence was imposed on Roscoe
Tenant on Monday afternoon. He
will pay fine of two hundred dollars
and serve eight months in Jail making
with the six that he has already had
fourteen months of CONTINENT and
two hundred dollars out of pocket for
the fight which he had with Moore
when the latter was killed.
The verdict of the jury made the
offence merely a misdemeanor and
took it out of the felony class. The
Imprisonment was in the discretion of
the judge as was also the amount of
the fine.
In the case of James Giles charged
with arson the state finished it's testi-
mony this morning and the defense is
now examining its witnesses. This
is not expected to last very long and
the pleading will begin this after
noon. An hour will be given to each
side for this and the case will be in
the hands of the jury tomorrow
morning.
1t is charged that Giles burnt a
number of haystacks besides injuring
a number of fruit trees which were
the property of his son-in-law because
the old man did not approve of the
marriage. At the same time he as
saulted his daughter and served two
years in the penitentiary for attempt
ed murder.
After the disposal of this case there
are few more of Importance to come
up at the present term of court and
the term is not expected to be very
interesting.

The entertainment furnished was Of
very high class and the attention re-

Women's Glee Clubs did very well and
the former sang one selection better
than they have ever sang before an
audience in Morgantown before.
There were no encores on 9eceert
OF the length OF the prograf. and the
audience was glad ct this rule before
the performance was ended. Every
thing was very good but the length Of
TIE program was against its fullest
enjoyment.
The Choral Society sang several Sc
lections and they were very well re-
ceived. Miss Gilbert and Miss Hayes
had solos and as usual the audience
was highly pleased With their fendi-
ton. The piano solos by Mrs. Aldrich
Misses Howe, Houston and Hayes
