Gas at Fostoria a Thing of the Past
That Fuel Here is Inexhaustable.

The gas at Fostoria is thing OF
the past. The Seneca Glass factory
left there few years ago because the
gas was failing and it didn't get out
any too soon.
A Eostoria paper says:
''Fost0ria will have to get along in
the future without natural gas. This
morning KerliD Brothers, who have
been supplying the City Heat & Light
company with what product they
could, turned off the big valves at the
city limits, and the local company is
engaged in shutting off the lines at
the curbs.
with this ends Fostoria's gas ser
vice, which began in 1885 and has
continued with more or less Interrupt
ton until the present time. 1t is
understood that the light company
will try to make some other arrange
ments by September l., when they ex-
pect to have their fuel plant in oper-
alton"
In this section they may be assured
that the supply will continue for years
to come. We have eight sands to
draw our supply from and as yet we
are using only on one of them. The
Others are just as good and have never
been touched except to test their
quality

West Virginia Methodists Viii
meet in the Second City.

Meeting will be Held the Latter Part
OF this Summer-Important Business

Prominent Men to be Present-Gon-
dition OF the Church Oyer the
State.

odist Episcopal church of West Vir-
GINA will be held in the Fifth street
church in Parkersburg beginning Sep
TENDER rs and continuing one week.
While it is yet several weeks until
the conference will convene the clergy
men Of the denomination all over the
State, and the officers of the confer

for the event. The sessions OF the
conference are expected To be among
the most interesting ever held A
number Of questions will be up for dis
eussion and settlement and number
of recommendations To the next gen
eral conference will be proposed and
probably acted upon.
This conference will find the church
es throughout the State in better con-
dition than ever before in their his
tory. There have been large increases
in the number of commandments good
showings along evangelical and phi
lanthropic lines and the various charg-
es have been placed in a much better
financial condition since the last con-
ference-in short the past year has
been the most prosperous in the
church's history in West Virginia
Much of encouragement will be con-
tanned 10 the reports of the individual
charges.
The various societies of the church
will also present encouraging reports.
Especially is this true of the mission
airy societies. The ladies perform an
amount OF work which is surprising
and besides keeping up their end of
the regular church work it is in the
aid societies and missionary societies
where they make the best showing.
A large attendance OF clerical and
lay delegates Is expected and great
deal of business OF interest will be
transacted

EAGERLY SOUGHT
Are Appointments in the Volunteer
army-Scyere Tests Applied,


Appointments as officers in the
new regiments are eagerly sought be-
cause Of the possibility that Congress
will make these provisional regiments
portion of the regular establish
ment. The officers designated by the
President for commissions In the ten
new regiments win have to undergo
an exceptionally severe test, and it is
probable that not more than half Of
the candidates first announced will
pass the examination. Boards of reg
ular army officers will be convened at
convenient places all over the coun-
try and applicants will be ordered be-
fore them. As fast as they are ac-
cepted they will be sent to the head
quarters Of the regiment TO which
they are assigned and act as assistant
mastering officers.

From Wednesdays Daily
The great Christian Endeavor con-
vention which has been in session at
Detroit has closed after one of the
most successful meetings in the his
tory Of the organization. The mem
bers are now coming home. Rev. |.
A. Barnes Of this place was the first
TO get back coming in on the morning
of Wednesday. The other members
from this place will be in at the last
of the week.
Rev. Mr.. Barnes was elected as vice
president for West Virginia at the
meeting. This honor is one worthily
bestowed on the modest divine who
has done so much hard work for the
order in this town and state.
The meeting was not as largely at
tended as the former sessions have
been but there was great out pour
ing of the young people who make up
and the Dominion of Canada. The
Detroit people treated them very nice
ly but the papers there complained OF
the smallness of the crowd.
Sunday observance came in for a
great share Of attention and the meet
ings passed some very strong resolu-
tions in favor OF the very strictist OBJ
servance of this day. Many of them
walked to and from the services held
on Sunday while they were in the city,
refusing to use the street cars and
there by countenance the breaking of
the Sabbath.
Resolutions denouncing Roberts the
Mormon Congressman elect from Utah
were passed and the members of Con-
gress were called upon to refuse to
seat him when he came before the
House with his credentials on the
charge of being polygamist.
A number of excursions were taken
by the members before aud after the
adjournment and the Dominion of
Canada was frequently visited by the
delegates. Nothing happened to mar
the success of the meeting and it adj
journed with nothing but the happi-
est feeling over the work that had
been done. Morgantown have four
delegates present during the session.
These represented the town societies
in the Methodist Protestant and
Presbyterian churches at this place.

SAD CASE.
David Morrow Cannot go to His
Dying Daughter.

Confined in the County Jail here for
Cutting James Noel-No Way at all
That He Might get Telegram re-
ceised ON Thursday Telling OF Her
Fatal Illness.
David Morrow is serving a SEN
tenee in Jail for the assault that he
committed on James Noel or knowl,
at Flyblow, Christmas night. The
assault was the result of the perse-
oution and bullying Of Noel and the
man who did the cutting was driven
to desperation by the constant repe-
tition of the petty tyranny.
Finally he could stand it no
longer and the men started to fight.
Noel started to assault him and he
began TO sut the former as Noel was
a larger and stronger man than he
was The circumstances OF the fight
and the things that led up to it were
such that Morrow got of with
light fine and Imprisonment.
He has been model prisoner and
has made great many friends by
the manner in which he has con-
Quoted himself He was convicted
and sentenced some time ago.
Thursday evening telegram was
brought to him that has aroused the
sympathy Of everyone 1t announced
that his daughter Maude was dying
and he cannot get home in time to
see her in her last moments. There
is no way for him to get out. A
pardon could not be obtained and he
will have to remain in Jail while his
loved oneis leaving him forever.
The family OF the unfortunate
man are very refined intelligent peo-
pie. The daughter is well edreated
and has lacked for nothing In this
direction He is man of more than
ordinary intelligence and the pita-
BILE plight in which he finds himself
is a very sad one.
He is almost frantic and has
made all kinds of appeals TO those
who have him in custody but they
are unable to do anything for him.
1t has not been learned whether or
not his daughter is still alive.

An American Railroad in China.

Moneyed men from. the United
States have secured franchise for
building railroad from Hong Kong
to Han Kow, China, distance of
nearly 700 miles. 1t will run through
a very rich and fertile section of the
country, and open up new opportu-
mites for the people to prosper
While railroads are necessary to ma
tion's prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make
money if there are thousand rail-
roads. One of the reasons why Amer
lea is so progressive is the fact that
in every drug store is sold Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that celebrated tonic
for the weak, stimulant for the kid
neys, appetizer for the dyspeptic, pu-
rifier for the blood, and sedative for
the nerves. 1t is taken with great
success by thousands Of men and wo-
man who are run down, pale and
weak. 1t increases the weight of
thin people, and the gain is perma-
nent and substantial.

THEIR LOCATIONS.
Where the new University
Buildings are to go.
Library in the Old Grave Yard-0Id
Foundation TO be Used for the Me-
chanical Hall in Part-Iiew the build
ing is to be Arranged-The Armory
to go on Athletic Field.


The old grave yard at the Univer
sity is being cleaned out and the
briars removed. The front end Of
this will contain the new library
building. The lot will have to BE-
graded down great deal before The
building can go into it. The sittias a
very good one and it will give tho
visitor a good impression of the Uni.
versity on approaching the place. from
town. ~
1t was at first proposed a. ss.-,e this
building on the other side Of the road
near the lower gate of the campus
but the change in the location has
been finally decided upon. This Is
pleasing to everyone who was sorry to
hear that one of the beautiful trees
on the campus was to be cut down
to make room for this building.
The mechanical building will &c
partly on the old foundation. In this
part sill be the shops and the engine
rooms so that the danger of fire will
be largely eliminated as far as the rest
Of the building is concerned
This will go in front and will ex-
tend out nearly to Beechurst. This
part of the building will be three
stories high and will contain recita-
tion rooms and offices. The part of
the structure containing the engines
and machinery will be one story with
basement. The building will be
very much better adapted to the use
to which it is to be put than the old
one was.
The Armory will be placed on the
drill ground over near North Main
street and will be the first building
ever put up for the use of the cadet
corps as drilling place. This will
be great advantage to the corps in
bad weather.
The board Will meet again this
summer and let the contract for the
buildings and work will be started
on them as soon as possible. The
Mechanical buildings will be the first
one completed as it is needed worse
than any of the Others.

Morgantown is not trying to make a

Among the many complimentary,
things that have been said about tbs

old friends has set about to make his
home coming grand event. The
people of other parts OF the state have
