ton.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 20.--
The appropriation bill was reported
to the House Saturday night by the
committee on taxation and finance.
1t is expected to provoke much dis
cussioa In both branches this week,
and 1t is within the range of POSSIBLE
| ity that the present body will go into
history as the million dollar Legisla-
ture. The aggregate OF the appropri-
ations provided In the bin is largely
in excess of the amount expended by
any previous Legislature. This is
partly due to the f.ct that the last
body, in its efforts to make political
capital for the succeeding State cam
paign, sighted various institutions
and thereby created deficiencies which
the present Legislature is compelled
to meet.
The aggregate Of the appropriations
will approximate 81, 300, 900 for Two
years in the Senate bill, and 800, 900
less in the House BILL The appfopria-
tions made by the last Legislature
footed up 81, 6l7, 9Is.
Members of the finance committees
OF the two branches met 10 the House
committee room Friday night for the
purpose Of effecting compromise with
reference To the amounts to be allowed
the University and the Home for In
curables.
The discussion was marked by con-
siderable bitterness. Senator Fast,
who championed the University, as
serted that he would recommend in
the Senate bill the full amount ask
ed rather than consent to an appropri-
alton of less than $1l5,0o a year.
The Democrats would not be bluffed,
and the meeting broke up in row
long after midnight.
Chairman Mansfield, of the House
committee gave notice that he would
have the bill reported without any APP
preparation whatever for the Univer-
sity.
The lights in the committee room
were extinguished, but members stood
in the hall discussing the situation,
and an agreement was finally reached
by the terms of which the University
will receive about $4,000 for the
two years.

Delegate Morrow of Jefferson coun-

more cause than ever to go after him

THEY ADJOURN
County Court has not Bought the Bridge
but we are much nearer free bridge
than we have ever been.

The county court has adjourned
after being in session several
days and talking over the free bridge
matter thoroughly. They did not
agree on anything definite and have
laid over the matter until the next
regular term which will be held in
March.
They held several conferences with
the owners OF the bridge and came
very close to getting together with
him. The action of the court is some
what disappointing but their future
actions are expected to be all right.
One thing is certain we are nearer a
free bridge than we have ever been
before in the history of the agitation.

How the West Virginia Town is honor

How the West Virginia Town is honor
ed in the Senate.
Upon the huge weather map which
stands in the senate lobby is new
name 1t has previously shown all
the large cities of the country-San
Francisco, Omaha, st. Louis, Wash
ington, New YORK. Boston, and a score
or more of other equally well-known
places. The addition to this list is a
word of six letters, as follows:
ELKINs.
Now, Elkins is a charming town in
the heart of the West Virginia noun
tains, but its chief reason for exis-
tence is the fact that it is the home
of Senator Elkins, ex-senator Davis
and Richard G. Kerens, of Missouri,
all of whom have palatial residences
there. 1t seems, however, that a
weather station has been established
there, and every morning Senator FL
kins has the pleasure of glancing at
the map and seeing just how the
weather is at his mountain home,
says the Washington "Post. Yes
terday at O'Clock in the morning,
Elkins was being visited by snow
storm, and the thermometer vas de-
grees below zero.
Yesterday Senator Hawley, of Con-
necticut, came along and looked over
the map to see the weather in his
state. Curiously enough there was
not station named between New
York and Boston. The entire state
Of Connecticut was blank. Itmight
have been raining pitchforks in Hart
ford, New Haven, or New London
and nobody would have been any the
wiser.
Senator Hawley looked real har1 at
the word Elkins and sighed.
