WON The FIRST.
w. v. u. takes the first Con
test on the home Grounds.
Play a Gilt Edge Game and Win out
Great Visitors are AL
lowed to score But in One LINING
Eleven runs Piled up by Local Boys
in the Third-But In the Afternoon
the Tune Changed and W. & j.
Scores Four to Our Nothing.


w. V. U. won the first of the two
games by the better playing. Never
did the team show up to better adj
vantage than it did in this contest
and the spectators were aroused to
very great excitement at various
stages of the game.
Dent was on the rubber for the
home team and he played an unusual
ly fine game. The support given was
out Of sight and each man played his
best. W. " u. started the run
getting in first and scored once. In
the third she made eleven runs and
clinched the victory. In the eighth
four more were piled up and this
finished the run getting for US.
w. and j. made five runs in the
eighth inning beginning on costly
error at second. Carson fell down in
the third and struck three men with
the ball. Otherwise he did very we'll
and at times was puzzle to the
local lads.
The fence was very good thing
and showed that it is what has been
needed for long time. There was a
very large crowd present and they
rooted to the limit. The cadets who
had been disappointed in their trip
to Grafton were there in full force.

Shelby, W. and ]. Carson and Service.
Runs w. v. U. 1011 000O40 16.
W. and j. 0 90 0O505.
This xUac fha caoon6 rama rf tho
series Of three to be played between
the two teams. w. and J. won the
first at Washington by score of nine
to two.
The afternoon game proved to be
one Of the prettiest exhibitions of
gilt edged ball playing ever played
on the local grounds.
The teams were the same as in the
morning game except Dent was re-
lieved by Printz and Nesbit took Car
sons place. Nesbitt struck out IA
men and allowed ten hits while Printz
held W. and j. down to four hits and
struck out ten. Back Of Printz our
men played an errorless game.
In the first inning many people
thought McWhorter had scored but
the w. and ]. Umpire Mr.. Jones
couldn't see it that way. When in
the third this same Mr.. Jones called
a w. and ]. player safe who was clear
ly out, the locals were wrathy. 1t is
to be regretted that these two bad
decisions were made for otherwise it
was one of the clearest games of ball

The Methodist church is under

is lot Of scaffolding in front and
the woodwork will be fixed up. The
church will be painted at every
point that this is needed and it will
be made as handsome an edifice as
possible. The money to make these
Improvements was voted at a meet

| A MEETING of the subscribers to
the proposed Elkins College Acsd-
envy, the nucleus for the Presbyter-
ian college at Elkins, W. Va, was
held, and the proposition Of Presby-
terry looking to the putting of a per
manent agent in the field was en-
dorsed. Senator Elkins and
ex-senator Davis will each give
100000 toward the college after
the Presbytery secures the stated
amount.
MoRGANTowN is to have real cir
Gus with one real ring on June fifth.
The advance agent was here on We'd
nesday and put up the paper adver-
Using It, The circus will not be as
pretentious as those visiting other
towns but many Of the older people
who remember the days OF the old
one ring circus declare that they are
far superior in many respects to the
larger and more bewildering three
rings.
THE new lamps will soon be put in
and the old open gas jet will be
relegated TO back seat where it be-
longs. The Union improvement Com
pany has charge Of the maintenance
Of the lights and will have to keep
them up. This will he a heavy ex-
pense unless they are more fortunate
with them than they have been with
the lights already put in. The man
tells are very easily broken. The new
lamps are very much superior to the
old in many other respects.
A PUG dog with froth running from
its mouth created some excitement on
Wednesday evening There was a
report that a mad dog was loose In
town and everyone got his gun. The
dog did no damage as far as learned.
However it would be good idea to
make the owners OF dogs in town
muzzle the animals. 1t could not do
any possible harm. On the other
hand it may do great deal Of good.
There is no reason why dogs should
run at large unmuzzled and at libertyto
bite anyone whenever they take the
notion.

Mighty bad Habit for Kentucky.
The manager of a#life insuranc

The manager of alife insurance
company had the floor.
"Life insurance companies, he was
saying, are as particular about the
people they already have on their lists
as they are about getting them on in
the beginning. They are rich, Of
course, but they are no more anxious
to take in man who will die Of dis
ease within the first year or two than
they are to take in a perfectly healthy
man and have him hazard his life by
taking personal risks in dangerous
pursuits or by travel in unhealthy
countries.
remember funny instance that oc-
Cured once while [ was living in New
England. One Of our $4,000 men had
way Of calling a man liar in the
most careless and indiscriminate man
ner, and with only the merest or no
provocation. One day he was in our
office and casually mentioned the fact
that he was going to make trip to
Kentucky.
When inquired the manager
alertly.

interrupted him.

A japanese Room.

A perfect japanese room is a feature
of one Of New York's costly private
houses, and the history Of its acquisi-
tion is an illustration Of the thorough
ness with which such plans are often
carried ont by Americans Of wealth.
The man in question wanted a Japanese
room. He could easily have bought
ir New York Japanese furnishings
enough to fill hundred rooms, but
that would not have satisfied him. He
was determined that there should not
be, even in the Mikado's realm itself,
more perfect apartment than the one
to be included, in his Fifth Avenue
house. To accomplish this purpose
he sent young artist to Japan with
instructions to study the subject ex-
haustively, and with carte blanche for
the purchase of the necessary furnish
ings. The artist-happy man spent
several months in the Flowery King
dom. He lived in japanese houses,
wore japanese clothing, and studied
with might and main all the Japanese
rooms to which he could gain access.
Finally he returnedin triumph, bring
ing almost priceless carvings, paint
inks, embroideries, and manifold other
things Japanesque, supplemented by
two native workmen, whose mission it
was to put all Of these things together
in the manner Of Japan, not according
to the cabinet-makers and paper hang
ere Of the Western Hemisphere. The
room cost small fortune, but it is
the pride Of the owner and the tri.
umph of the artist.-Harpe,'s Bosar.

not single straggler among them, and
in not one instance was an attempt
made by any trooper to fall out in
order to assist the wounded or carry
back the dead, while SO cool were they
and SO perfect their fine discipline,
that in the entire engagement the ex-
penditure of ammunition was not over
ten rounds per man. Major Bell, who
commanded the squadron had his leg
broken by a shot as he was leading
his men. Captain Wainwright sue
ceeded to the command Of the squad
ron. Captain Knox was shot in the
abdomen. He continued for some
time giving orders to his troops, and
refused to allow a man in the firing
line to assist him to the rear. His
First Lieutenant, Bryan, was himself
shot, but continued to lead his men
until the wound and the heat over
came him and he fell in a faint. The
advance was pushed forward under
General Young eye with the utmost
energy, until the enemy s voices could
be heard in the entrenchments. The
Spaniards kept up very heavy firing,
but the regulars would not be denied,
and as they climbed the ridges the
Spaniards broke and fed.
The writer goes on to tell OF the
stirring part played in the battle by
the Rough Riders, and tells the story
of his command Of the regiment after
General Young was struck down with
the fever, and Wood was placed in
charge Of the brigade.

So. about eight clock Young began
the fight with his Hotchkiss guns, he
himself being up on the firing line.
No sooner had the Hotchkiss one
FOUNDERS opened than the Spaniards
opened fire in return, most of the
time firing by volley executed in per-
feet time, almost as on parade. They
had couple Of light guns, which our
people thought were quick frers.
The dcnscncss of the jungle and the
fact that they used absolutely smoke
less powder, made it exceedingly diff
cult to place exactly where they were,
and almost Immediately Young, who
always liked to gctas close as possible
to his enemy. began to push his troops
forward. They were dcployed on both
sides Of the road in such thick jungle
thatit was only here and there that
they could possibly see ahead, and
some confusion, of course, ensued,
the support gradually getting mixed
with the advance. Captain Beck took
A troop Of the Tenth in on the left,
next Captain Galbraith $ troop of the
First; two other troops Of the Tenth
were on the extreme right. Through
the jungle ran wire fences here and
there, and as the troops got to the
.idgc they encountered prccipitous
heights. They were led most gal
lantly, as American regular officers
always lead their men; and the men
followed their leaders with the splen-
did courage always shown by tho
American regular soldier. There was
