Washington, February 2S.-With the
approach Of the rainy season in the
Philippines, now possibly not month
off, material increase in the sickness
among our troops may be looked for.
The war department authorities appre-
bend no alarming developments in the
condition of our men as the result Of
the incoming Of the rainy season, but
have prepared to meet any possible
contingencies. The city of Manila it
self is stated to be comparatively
healthy vicinage, and the troops re-
naming there with reasonable care
may be expected to get along fairly
we'll. Outside of the city conditions
are not encouraging and are favorable
to nalarial and similar indispositions.
In a general way there is likely to be
ments originating from climatic causes
and an unusual number of doctors and
medicines have been rendezvoused at
Manila. The medical force now on the
islands is believed to be sufficient for
ordinary purposes and to meet any de-
mands of the future reinfOrcements are
Relief will sail from New York direct

geon general, is nov en- route across
the continent going to Manila for duty
as chief surgeon. He is one of the
most efficient medical officers in the
army and has had the benefit of an
army service throughout the civil war.
He has given special attention to san
itation matters and thorough sani-

MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Morgantown, w. Va, February Is
Col. r. L. Fast returned this morning
from Charleston and has resumed his
duties at the University. Major Geo.
Gramm, of the cadet corps, who has
been acting as commandant of cadets
during the absence of Col. Fast, has
been superseded by the latter as COM
mandant.
Peter Morgan, at one time a we'll
known resident of this place, is dead
in Pittsburg at the age of eighty-tWo
years.
The work on the Christian church
has been begun and the structure is
now framed. Several churches are 20
be built this year. The Disciples have
purchased lot and will put fine
church on it. The MethodistS are rails
ing $4,000 to build new church to
meet the needs of their congregation,
which now numbers nearly four hum
dred and is growing very rapidly.
Other denominations are in the field,
and there are to be more churches
built here this summer than in any
year in the history of the town.
Iris Tennat came in this morning
the Jail on a charge of murder and
under Indictment for that crime, and
he was arrested by the sheriff after
he had reached the jail. Iris was
wanted for d number OF miSdemeanOl
of which he had been convicted and
sentenced to heavy fines, but - until
now he had succeeded in GLIDING the
officers. He paid off the fines and was
released.
1t is reported about town that we'll
known young man has eloped with u
married woman who now has suit
for divorce pending in the Circuit Court
against her husband.
The boats have resumed their regu-
lar trips between this place and Pitts
burg.
The bill to put a bridge across the
river at this point has passed the Sen
ate, and word has been received here
to that effect. However, as the new
structure would cost 100000 and the
old bridge would have to be bought,
in addition 10 the expenditure the coun-
ty court has fooled no one by this ruse,
and they will be forced by the
strength of public opinion to buy the
old bridge, freeing it. They can get
it for $4,000.
The bill giving the treasurer of the
University a salary not to exceed $500
is very good one. He at present does
not receive a single cent and has to
give a bond of s150,000, while he ham
dies a great deal of money and does
an immense amount of work for no
compensation.
The report of the visiting committee
in giving the greater part of the credit
to the travelling agent of the University
and to the advertising that has been
done, calls to mind the prophecy made
by Dr. Reynolds several years ago.
He asked the board of regents to ap-
point travelling agent and stated that
in case they did they would have an
attendance Of six hundred students
in five years. In that time the attend
ance had increased from about two
hundred to nearly eight hundred and
has justified the foresight of the doctor,
to whom in large measure the pros
perity Of the University in the number
of students in attendance must be at
tributed.

PARSONS, W Va, February 2S-The
town council of Davis, this county, finding

the sum of s1,472.50, after deducting about
$500 worth Of uncollected tax bills The
