Where the Boycott Should Begin.

TO the Editor of the DAILY New DOMINION:
| agree with your correspondent
that we should boycott the bad air
nuisance, and | am going to tell you
where the boycott should begin.
An audience was invited to Com
mencemenl Hall an Thursday night,
and although they have about $50
windows in that hall they were care
fully closed down. A large audience
sweltered in an atmosphere that
would kill rats for about two hours
trying to enjoy a musical entertain
ment. Some of them were ready to
faint when it was over. When they
tried to get out the doors were still
closed; there was no janitor there to
open them; only one door could be
opened; the audience squeezed out
single file struggling for breath of
air; the entertainment was spoiled:
and as the people went home the sub
ject of comment all along the line was
not the music but EXPLANATIONS Of
disgust about the air OF the hall.
1t would seem that the University
ought to set an example of healthy
and decent conditions, but it don't.
/ know of no better place to begin the
proposed boycott than at commence
ment hall. Let the word pass.

Best End Of The Bargain.
J. w. johnson, Mrs. John Spar
and Mrs. MAJOR Fields of Pittsburg
who were being held by The police here
on Saturday were released and left for
home on the afternoon train. They
had been arrested by Harry Pride on
complaint from Major Fields at King.
wood.
He claimed that the WON an had
taken lot of his property when she
left there and that he would be over
here to appear against them. She was
held as long as the police thought fit
and as Fields did not come she and
the rest of the party were released.
Fields got here after night fall having
waited until eleven that morning to
start.
The man and women from Pitts
burg TOLD great story OF how they
had been taken in by Fields. They
stated that he had told down there
that he was farmer having large
farm besides livery stable and a large
butcher shop in Kingwood. As a
matter of fact he did have a small
place covered with stones, a few brok-
en- down horses and killed a beef or
hog occasionally and peddled it over
town.
He induced John Spar brother-in-
law to leave good job in Pittsburg
and go to Kingwood to locate as a
plumber. There was absolutely moth
ing to do in that line and Spar had
to leave as he was starved out. He
mistreated his wife and the couple
agreed to separate. They had divided
the stuff that they had and she had
started home with her father and her
sister.
When they reached here they were
arrested. They stated that they had
nothing belonging to Fields but that
he had a great deal that had been his
wife's property but that they were so
glad to get away that they wanted no
further trouble over it. Johnson also
claimed that Fields had swindled him
out considerable sum of money
which he had obtained under false
pretenSe.

RAPID BUT UNPRETENTIOUS
The Kind Of Growth That has Taken
Place Here.

But few towns in the State have
had more rapid, yet unpretentious
growth, than Morgantown says the
Clarksburg News. A few years ago
the somnolent old Monongalia town
had neither railroad nor slackwater,
and with but thousand inhabitants
But year in and year out it has kept
up its unfagging pace until now it is
a splendid, well paved little city, with
five thousand people. After all, a
steady growth is the only substantial
one. The puckfist boomlet of Buck
harmon, where luxuriant acres Of
broomsedge and crab-holes were sold
for town lots, will not be forgotten
soon. 1t taught everybody lesson

surance on StOck-Fire Started from
Gas jet Burned Several Hours be-
fore Breaking Out.
The New England Bakery was visi-
ted by fire on Sunday night and the
place is wreck to-day The fire
started in the bake shop from gas
jet that had been pushed around
against the wall by some means. It
is thought that in closing the door
going out Of the shop that the jet was
caught by towel on the door and
pushed around towards the wall
The shop was left about 6:30. The
file Wa, ais Jsrrsd al S.io D. William
Dillinger one of the proprietors who
was IN the front room up stairs and
was going TO bed when the fire broke
through the door leading up the stairs
coming out the front Of the building
He had been smelling smoke and had
told his wife about 1t but she was
joking him about the discovery when
the blaze broke through the door.
She tainted and had to be carried
out together with the baby. They
saved none of their clothing having
barely time to get out in their night
clothes. The alarm was given at
once and the water was turned ON In
few minutes.
The flremen had the fire out Ia a
short time. The fire had worked up
inside OF the walls into the upstairs in
the rear and had Quilted the building
In that part before it broke out. The
bake shop was ruined as was nearly
every part OF the building.
There was 700 dollars insurance on
the building which was owned by
Charles Stephan who formerly run a
bakery there. Not a cents insurance
was carried by the Bakery people.
They had decided to take it out on
Monday morning.
The household effects were nearly
total loss. A considerable amount of
the stock was saved. Thieves carried
off all the money on the place amount
ing to about 300 The money draw
CT vas stolen bodily. What the fire
did not ruin about the house the wa
ter spoiled. The Bakery will be start
ed up again as soon as possible. Mike
Stole another of the owners was in
Belaire Ohio in attendance on Bak-
er's Convention. He has been wired
to come home and is expected this
afternoon.
The young men had gotten very
good start in the business and they
have the sympathy of everyone in
their misfortune. They will not lose
any time getting under way again.
Some very amusing incidents in
connection with the fire took place.
The various congregations were soon
on the scene. When the fire alarm
was given they in some cases got up
and left without ceremony. In 9TH
ers they were dismissed and in one
case the minister tried to get them to
stay and hear the service out They
couldn't stand the pressure and de-
camped.

4 Number Of Norgantown PEOPLE Bite
at the Plain RObbery-They Expect
to Get Ten Percent a Week Out OF
Their mOney-The Plan an Old one
But it Gets the Results.
Morgantown people have another
example of the folly Of following with
any scheme which promises more than
ordinary interest on the investment.
For several months several people here
have been following with an ssinvest-
ment'i syndicate in New York that
was one of the richest things that
ever came down the pike It claimed
to pay ten percent week.
This was about fifty times what
any business should be expected to
pay and the suckers who wanted to
shove their good money under the
door fell over each other to get their
coin into the hands of the swindler
who engineered the deals. They
would not listen to anyone on the
subject and put in all uhe spare mon
ey they could raise.
The end came on Saturday as was
expected. The police of New Yook
pulled the main offices of the syndi-
cate and stopped the swindlers. 1t is
estimated that three millions of dol
lars have been forwarded to the scoun-
drels in the past few months. Fiji
teen thousand came in on Saturday.
There were forty employees to answer
correspondents,
The way that the interest was paid
to the first depositors was to take it
out Of the money that came in after
wards. The amounts kept growing
each week and as long as the receipts
were larger than the payments the
money could be paid and the head Of
the schemes make plenty of money.
1t was only a question OF time until
it broke up.
The swindler claimed to have inside
information and to work Wall street.
The fact that he didn't get more
suckers in town is not due to the lack
of effort on his part but TO the fact
the people of Morgantown do not bite
very extensively on any gold brick
plan that is as plain as this one was
There are people in other cities SIM
liar to the New York one and they
are sending advertising matter into
this town and county. 1t would be
well to remember that no one is going
to give away snap at which he can
make very much money. He will bor-
row the coin and make it all for him
self. Don't bite on the other fellows

PUBLIC SCHOOL RECEPTION.
Brilliant Success in Every Par
t,cular Saturday Night


well Known People Charles Hodges
Makes Hit-Pretty Decorations
Nothing Left to be Desired in any
Direction.
The reception rendered by the
teachers OF the Public Schools to the
leading educators of the town on
Saturday night was one OF the most
successful events that ever took
place in the town No effort had
been spared by the teachers in prep
aration for the affair and there was
nothing left to be desired in any OF
the arrangements.
The decorations were very pretty
and reflected great credit on the
good taste of those who had them in
charge. The building never looked
prettier and when it is remembered
that it is one of the prettiest in the
state it will be seen that it was all
right
Miss Laura Shisler and Prof,
Kline received the guests at the door
and made them feel at home i'm
mediately by the attentions that
were shown them. The reception
began at eight o'clock and in the
receiving line were Prof. and Mrs.
Gallup, Miss Hodges, Miss Wotring,
Miss White, Miss Kunkle, Miss
Brand. Miss earle, Mrs Martin,
Miss Hull and Miss Taylor.
After this the reception refreshment
were served. These were very ele-
CANT and dainty and were greatly
enjoyed. The refreshments were
followed by number of short talks
by several of the prominent visitors
One of the most pleasant features of
this was the recitation by Charles
Hodges. He appeared instead OF
his father who was unable to be
present owing to absence from town.
Charles delivered a recitation that
caught all present.
Among those who gave short talks
were Prof. A. L. Wade, Prosecutor
l. G. Lazzelle, DR., jerome Hail Ray
mond, Rev Gilbert Hannah, Rev.
S. V. Leech and Or. L. S. Brock.
Their remarks were well chosen and
contributed no little to the pleasure
of the occasion
The schools of Morgantown have
ajforce of teachers of which we may
well be proud and they have shown
that they can entertain as gracefully
as they teach. 1t is to be hoped that
this reception may not mark the
last of similar affairs to be given by
the teachers.

Great Kicks Make Large Score.

A letter from coach Yost of the
Kansas team tells how the Nebras-
kans made score of twenty while
the Jayhawkers were piling up thirty
six in foot ball game few days ago.
1t was due to goal kicking from the
field. The Nebraska back made four
attempts at goal and each of them
was successful. one ol Inese was
made from the sixty yard line. This
record is unequalled in the records of
the sport.

that they have experienced. The
move is very commendable one and

of everyone.

Just when Aguinaldo is ratified and
wishes to surrender another dictator
seems to have captured the fancy of the
rebel army. General Luna, however,
has not the hold upon the natives that
Aguinaldo had. Luna is a brave war
rior. But Aguinaldo kept away from the
fighting and stirred the people to re-
sistance. He is entirely capable of MAX
ing a virtue of the necessity of surren-
dering and for a proper price would
help draw Luna's followers from him.
This government should not negotiate
through such factors. A%guinaldo should
be ignored in establishing a new gov
eminent, except perhaps it might pay
to buy a ticket and let him take a trip
to Boston to educate the a%gitators as
to Filipino character.

At the Blackwell island penitentiary
a new system of discipline has been in
PRODUCED for women prisoners. If they
deserve good treatment they have mag
azines, books inc newspapers from s
to $3.50 in the evening, to read in their
cells. For punishment they are deprived
of the reading matter, instead of being
sent to a dark cell. The prison officers
say that the result is satisfactory. Even
the hardened women who are sent to
such institutions are entertained by
reading, while punishment in a dark
cell made them sullen. Once upon a
time good people used to go around to
the prisons and give tracts and
sing solemn hymns and bible warnings
to convicts to impress them with a fear
of the future. But giving prisoners nov
els to read would have been looked upon
as granting wicked Indulgence. The
body might be we'll fed, but the mind
must starve. Lectures upon the wick
edness of his soul never elevated a pris-
oner, and rarely failed to arouse resent
ment.
