Resolved: That we specially men
ton the bereaved son, whose patriotic

of the battlefield in far away land,
thus beirg deprived of the last sad priv

getting into shape.

They will soon be installed--About
thirty gentlemen are on.the applica-
tiOn for the charter-Installati0n
likely on Friday week-Permanent
officers are eIected-Several commit.
tees appointed-Will have banquet
when they are installed.
The preparation for the installation
of the branch of the Knights of the
Golden Eagle are moving on and the
institution will take place before very
long. There was another meeting Of
those interested In the Maccabee Hall
on Monday night and there are now
thirty names on the application for a
charter.
The charter has been written for
and it will probably arrive within the
next few days. The officer who is to
install the lodge has not been heard
from but he will more than likely be
ready to do his part of the work on
Friday week.
The applicants are making the nee
essary preparations. They appointed
a committee to look after hall and
another to look after the arrange
ments for banquet in case it is de-
cided to have one at the institution.
The committees are: on hall, T. r.
Ollie, ]. J, Brand and J. N. Myers;
on banquet. G. B. Kremer, Grove
Laishley and Harry Rodeheaver.
The permanent officers have been
elected and they will serve the lodge

follows:sJ. w. Hinkle, Noble Chief;

Germ although it has an insurance fea-
ture connected with 1t. There are a
number of members who have joined
elsewhere already living in the town
and they have all been secured for the

This will start off with flattering
indications of success and as the order
is one that has many good points
abCut it it is expected to grow steadily
in the favor of the people of the town
and county.

School was organized here yesterday.
When our people realize themselves in
possession of the right man, they sim
ply retain him.
Consequently, J. |. Snyder was re-
elected in spite OF his loud protestatioDs.
He has discharged faithfully the du-
ties of Superintendent for ten successive
years, thereby distinguishing himself
as the only man who has been able 10
30 long retain the good will OF our per-
verse community.
Surely, if he is SO able to please our
people in church affairs they will recog-
nize the fact that he is an alI-round good
sort of fellow in the community.
We will be excused for saying these
few words, for we think best not to save
all the honey until man dies and min
gle it with salt tears above his grave!
Everything goes on just the same as
though the Empire Coal & Coke Com
pany had not made our farmers happy.

though The State remains in the Re-

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April The
citizens Of Rhode Island balloted yes
terday for State officers, including
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Sec
rotary of State, Attorney General,
Treasurer and members of the gener-
al assembly.
There were four State tickets in the
field, headed respectively by Elisha
Dyer, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor; George w. Greene, Democrats
Thomas +. Herrick, Socialist Labor,
and Joseph A. Peckham, Prohibition
list.
The only issue in the election was
on the adoption of the revised consti-
tuition, which failed last November 10
receive the necessary three-tifths of
all the votes cast, but was given a
large majority.
A light vote was cast. The indi-
cations point to the reelection of
Dyer (Rep.) for Governor by over
10, 900 plurality. The legislature will
be overwhelming by Republican as
usual.
Eighty districts out of l04 in the
State give for governor: Dyer, Rep,

FAIRMONT WON.
Internormal Contest Held at
Parkersburg.

Only Four Contestants are Present
The Others We're Prevented Frtn
Attending by Illness--A Very Inter.
esting and Exciting C0ntest-Tusca
Morris of Fairm0nt Normal Won
Who The Judges Were-Several Nor
gantown People Present at The
Event.
The Blennerhassett Hotel at Par
kersburg was rendezvous of fairly
large contingent of representative ed
ucators of the state. Two causes are
evident for the gathering of these
scholastic geniuses, one being the gen.
eral revision of the course of study of
the State Normal Schools and the
other is the interest that is manifest
in the Inter Normal Oratorical Con-
test which occurred Saturday evening
Principals of normal schools present
were A. G. Kimler, Of Shepherdstown;
W. B. Outright, of West Liberty; J..
Walter Barnes, of Fairmont; L. j.
Corbley, of Huntington; W. J. Hold
en-, of Glenville; George M. Ford, of
Concord. Others, either teachers or
prominently identified with educa-
tional work, are State Superintendent
Trotter, S. S. Jacob, of West Liberty;
W. H. Gallup, of New Cumberland;
w. L. MCGOWAN, of Rayenswood;
Waitman Barbe, of the University;
A. L. Wade, of Morgantown; A. J.
W1lKlusUn, of drafJUu, g. H. BOW
man, of Philip.
There were two prizes given. The
first was 1926 in gold and the second an
Inter National dictionary. They are
called the Wilkinson prizes. The orr
gin of the contest was with Mr.. Will
kinson and he gives the prizes. Par
kersburg, though not a seat of one of
the normal schools, was selected as
the place for holding the contest from
the essential point Of accessibility.
The contestants present were John
r. Pendleton, of Concord; A. L. Kib-
Ter, of Shepherdstown; L. A. Smith, of
West Liberty; Tusca Morris, of Fair
mont. All are normal school students.
Contestants selected from the Hunt
ington and Glenville schools were Ill
and not able to be present.
The judges were Prof. M. r. An
drews. of Marietta, Prof. w. G.. Nc
Cowan, Of Ravenswood, and Rev. f.
S. Townsend, Of this city.
Two prizes were awarded by Mr..
Wilkinson.
The first was awarded to Tusca
Morris, of Fairmont, consisting of
twenty five dollars. The second prize
was an unabridged dictionary given
to A. L. .Kibler of Shepherdstown.
The work Of revising the course of
study by the normal school principals
has not been completed. The object
is to establish a uniform academic
course that will, upon its completion,
fit the student for entrance to the uni
versity. In other words, the revision
will result in the establishing of an
academic course precisely similar to
the course in the university prepara-
tory department. virtually making
preparatory schools of the normal
schools, and at the same time broad
ening their scope and usefulness.
This revision has not been completed.

COUNCIL MEETS.
They Hear a Very Warm Peti-
ton About The Dump.

Two Hundred Citizens send in q Red
Hot Paper-It is Presented by I. G.
Lazzelle Who Makes Few Remarks
To The Council-A rag Chewing
without any Final action Street
Paving Not Taken up-Sweeny Comes
In ON the Morning Train.
Council meeting on Monday night
was about the iuiciest from the stand
point of the galleries that has been
held for long time. The action of
the body had stirred up the people Of
not only the upper end of town but all
over the town. They had drawn up a
long petition in which they stated
something.
They set forth the fact that they
did not want any dump created. That
the dump was not to be on the land
belonging to the Presbyterians and
that the latter had no right to grant
any such permission as they had pro-
posed to grant. They also stated that
it was not necessary to have any place
to dump nice articles but that what
was wanted was place to put things
that were Objectionable. In the con
clusion they stated that in case the
petition was not granted they would
take the proper legal steps to obtain
redress.
The paper was signed by two hun
dred people and contained besides the
names of every physician in town, the
members of the board Of health re-
siding in town and the Judge of the
circuit court. With all this array op-
posed to the move the opponents felt
that they had case that could not be
broken down.
The matter was presented to the
council by I. G.. Lazzelle and he gave
it to them in the strongest light pos
sible. There was great deal OF dis
cussion over the matter but the coun-
Gil did not take any final action in the
premises. They will finally decide on
next Monday when another very . In
teresting time is expected.
They did nothing in regard to paw
ing. The contracts have not been
properly signed and returned yet.
This is said by member Of the firm
of Sweeny and Houston to be due to
the absence of Mr.. Sweeny. 1t is
stated that as soon as he returns 1t
will be attended to. This was sew
eral days ago and nothing has as yet
been heard Of 1t.
Another thing that is alleged to
have been holding them back is the
fact that the trust company who has
been going their security does not do
business in this state and they will
have to hunt another one.
Mr.. Sweeney came 10 on the noon
train and he will meet with the mayor
and council this afternoon and TO-
night and they will doubtless arrange
all the details for the preliminary work.
The work will no doubt begin soon.
The contractors have expressed them
