mas much as some parties about
town are endeavoring to create the
impression with the public that they
hold large number of reserve seat
tickets for the Elk's minstrel show
and that they will only dispose of
them at an increased price, the Elk 8
Committee desires to state to the
public that no large number of tick
cts was purchased by any one person
and that we are not aware of any
one who has any genuine tickets for
the show who will so dispose of
them. If any person is offered such
a ticket, we would advise that you
investigate as TO its genuineness be-
fore purchasing. We most heartily
condemn any such action in specu-
lation on our tickets and, If brought
to our notice, will endeavor to stop
it. ELK's COMMITTEE.

The Honor League.

There have been so many reports Of
late about the Honor League by per-
sons who have no connection with it,
and some of them getting into print,
that word of explanation seems nee
essary. The primary and chief object
Of the League Is to stop students
from cheating on examinations. The
League does not ask for '.easy" exam
nations. 1t simply asks for thorough
teaching and fair examinations. We
do not want such examinations as will
let everybody through whether he de-
serves it or not, but we aim at such
conditions as will give every student
credit for what he docs but will not
give him credit for what Others do
while be wastes his time.
Ii examinations are put up which
are in any way unfair toward students
the League expects to take the matter
into consideration, but 1T has not been
stirred up on that matter nor expect
ing any trouble. Our committee on
examinations has not yet made any
Official report to the League nor any
official request of the faculty There
is no fight between the. League and
the faculty. The League has no fight
except with dishonesty. Cheating or
examinations is straight-out stealing,

The constitution and pledge of the
League tell what it stands for much
better than many Of the rumors that
have been afloat. The League, in the
short time since its organization, has

TO ARRANGE GAMES.

Manager Sweeny wants several pitts
burg games-Other notes on bas'
ball.
Manager John Sweeney has gone t
Pittsburg where he will hold confer
ences with d. G. & A. c., p. A. c.,
W. U. p, and Pittsburg College rela-
tive to games with those clubs. He
will try to arrange two games with
each one OF them so that one will be
played in Pittsburg and one here.
He thinks that they can all be proyid-
ed for and is of the opinion that In
case they do that the smoky city
teams will be shown that we can play
ball up here in the hills.
In this connection the following
from the Martinsburg World may be
Of interest: Mr.. ]. b. Sweeney, oil
Morgantown, manager Of the West
Virginia baseball team has written to
this city asking If a game could not
be arranged to take place here on the
26th of April between the West Vir-
ginia University team and Washing
ton and Lee University.
Much rivalry exists between these
two teams and if a game would be
played in this city it would, no doubt
be an interesting one. They have Sc
lected this place as neutral ground and
want to come to settle the question as
to which is the best team. They ask
that they be given a guarantee of $3.50
and hotel board while here. They
have figured it out and find that the
$3.50 will just about pay the railroad
fare of the two teams while enroute
here.
Let the lovers of baseball get to-
gether and try and have the game
played here. The proposition seems
to be a fair one and chance is now
given the citizens TO see the great
American game played here once
more.

WALLS COMING DOWN.
Mechanical Hall Being Raced Walls
In Some Cases Hard to Pull Down.

The walls of the Mechanical Hall
which are still standing after the fire
are being torn down. Several men are
engaged on tine work. The walls in
many cases are very strong and IL is q
hard job to get them to fall. They
began to be torn down after the de-
cision of the board OF experts on the
insurance had been made.
The new building is to occupy the
old site but the foundations are TO
be different. The old foundation
will be taken out and all the stone
that is available will be used in the
new one The number of architects
who will compete in the scramble for
the job of making the plans Is con-
stantly increasing and when the board
of regents meets here next month they
will be over run with applicants.
There is more than seventy tbous'
and dollars worth OF building to be
done al the University within the
next two years and this is very
tempting field for the architects.

THE UNIVERSITY.
What Is Doing ut the Big Institution
on the Hill.

Everything is very quiet at the big
institution of learning as many of the
students have gone home for the
spring vacation and quite number of
the professors are out of town for a
few days.
The Spring Quarter will begin April
1st and already the new students are
beginning to come in. The prospects
are good for at least seventy-five or
one hundred new students for the
spring term. This is the estimate of
Mr.. Barbe, Assistant to the President.
New students will be In from all over
the State and from several other
States. Among them will be large
number of young ladies.
The architects of the coantry are
taking a good deal of interest in the
construction of the three new build.
ings at the University, and when the
Regents meet on the 18th of April
they will find good many plans to be
examined. Everybody hopes that the
new buildings will be artistic in ap-
pearance as well as properly planned
for service. The present buildings are
all right inside but their exterior ap-
pearance is not beautiful by any
means. The chapel is to be covered
with vines which will hide its home
illness.
The announcements for the Summer
Quarter which will begin July lst are
being prepared. Among the regular
professors who will give instruction
in their various departments are Pres
ident Raymond, Professor Armstrong,
Professor Whitehill, Professor Harti-
gan, Professor Douthat, Dean John
son, Professor Hodges, Professor
Woolery, Professor Hare, Professor
Johnston, Professor Truscott, Profess
or Morris, Professor Aldrich, Professor
JONES' Professor Willis. Professor
Brown, Mrs. Hubbard, Miss Martin.
A number of distinguished assist
ants from other colleges will also be
here and the opportunities will be
very inviting.
The campus is being cleaned up
and put in nice condition by the new
gardener, Mr.. Jenkins.
The organization of the Honor
League seems to have had good eff.
feet at the recent examination as
there are hardly any complaints of at
tempts at cheating. Everybody is
determined that this thing shall be
entirely broken up. 1t is said that
one young man tried it in one of his
examinations and that he was prompt
ly dropped from the University.

The Sunday Post.

We have before US copy CT the
Pittsburg Sunday Post which is a
striking example of up-to-date journ-

comes four page half tone supple

as well as number of the finest spec

nothing more certain than the fact
that If it is not in the Sunday Post,

Higher Prices for Butter.

A Manhattan creameryman, makes
this encouraging prediction on but
ter prices:
1t is gratifying for me to state that
we have reached somewhat of turn
ing point on low priced butter and |
predict the coming season will aver.
age from ! to 2 cents higher per
pounds than last year, and the cause
! will give as look at it:
First. An unusual hard winter
has just passed that has cut down the
supply Of butter almost one-third for
the last three months of what it was
last year, and the large markets are
short thousands Of pounds Of butter.
Second. A fair general prosperity
exists all over the country, and more
people are eating butter land good
butter) than ever before.
Third. The deception 'of palming
off oleomargarine on poor, innocent
people, when they pay full butter
prices, is nearing its destruction, and
state law after state law is passed,
all around Kansas, restricting the
sale Of oleo and shutting it out alto
gether in some instances. Pennsyl-
.vania has just passed law that reads
as follows, copied from the New York
Produce Review and American Cream
cry; Oleomargarine dealers all over
the state report business exceedingly
slack, says Braddock, Pa, Herald.
They complain about the persecution
and prosecution Of the poor food com.
mission. They also find fault with
the law and say the high license is
driving them out Of business. Hotels
must pay 800 and restaurants $50.
Outside Of this retail merchants must
pay as per year government license
and 800 state license and wholesale
dealers $3.50 government license and
$500 state license.
