Republicans are beginning to realize
that no unfalrness is contemplated in
the Democratic programme with refer
ence to the determination of contests
for seats in the House of Delegates
The committee on privileges and
elections reported this morning and
recommended that a subcommittee be
sent TO Grafton. The minority side
endeayored TO attach amendments,
which would have embarrassed the
committee in arriving at a just con-
clusion as to whether Brohard or Dent
is entitled to the seat from Taylor
county, but the committee recon-
mendation prevailed.
Ignoring the Senate's discourtesy,
and without awaiting action of that
body on the joint resolution, the COM
mittee left for Taylor county yester-
day afternoon.
The committee consists of Messrs.
Jake Fisher and W. l.. Mansfield,
Democrats, and M. p. Malcolm, Re-
publican. The committee will pro-
coed with all possible dispatch in or
der to reach a conclusion before the
balloting for United States Senator
commences on Tuesday next.
The disputed ballots will be in
spected and recounted, but Democrats
express themselves as unfavorable to
Prosecuting Attorney Ira Robinson's
scheme.
Mr.. Robinson proposes to introduce
affidavits OF all Republican voters in
certain precincts, to establish the fact
that the original count was correct.
The Senate adjourns from day to
day and the Senate committee on
privileges and elections stubbornly re-
fuse to take up the Kidd, Marcum
and Ashby cases until the determine
tion of the House to ascertained.
The Senate committee adjourned I'M

The Second Regiment OF the West
Virginia volunteers now 10 the service
of the United States government will
be mustered out of the service as soon
as possible, after the passage Of the
army reorganization bill now pending
before Congress.
This decision has been reached with
in the last few days, and is 10 line
with the present policy of the war de-
partment to replace volunteer troops
as far as possible with regulars.
Almost identically the same state
of affairs as regards discomfort with
the service exists in the Second Regi-
ment as did at first, and the members
of Congress from West Virginia have
been deluged for some time past with
appeals from many of the private SOL
diers in the regiment to be mustered
out.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Scott was also repeatedly requested
by members of the regiment to use his
influence to have the men dismissed
from the service and it is due to his
efforts in their behalf that the'admin-
istration yielded.
1t is understood that many of the
privates as well as the great majority
of the officers wish to stay in the SER
vice. All of these will be given the
desired opportunity, and the prefer
ence over Others who desire to enlist
in the ranks Of the increased regular
army which it is the desire of the gov
erpment to organize.

SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
Three Serious Mishaps Take
Place on Tuesday.

Leroy Austin Badly Cnt in Scuffle-
Faints on the Street while on the
Way TO n Physician-Bert Meeks and
Richard Smith Hurt in the Water
Tank-ROof CoIlapses and They fall
in-Meeks Badly Bruised and Nearly
Drowned-Smith has His Ankle
Broken-Five Year Old Child of Mr..
and Mrs. Kern Probably Fatally
Burned.
A number of serious accidents oc
Cured Tuesday afternoon and eve
ming. One of these may result ia
tally but as yet this cannot be fore
told. The others while serious
might have been worse and the out
come is certainly better than it
might have been without much
trouble.
The first was an accidental cut
ting. George Brand and Leroy
Austin two workmen employed by
the Union Improvement company
were fooling with an old knife when
Austin was cut in the arm very Sc
verely. He started to the doctor
and tainted from loss of blood while
on the way. He will be all right in
short time however.
The next accident was also among
the employees of the same company.
Three of them, George Brand, Bert
Meeks and Richard Smith were up
at the water tank on the hill making
some repairs when part of the
roof collapsed with Smith and Meeks
throwing them into the tank
A large quantity of the debris fell
in on them and Meeks was caught
under the timbers in a foot of water.
Had the water not been there he
would more than likely been mashed
to death but on the other hand while
it was protection twas also a
menace and he nearly drowned be-
fore the other men discovered his
plight and pulled him out. His
face is badly bruised but otherwise
he is all right.
Smith received a fractured ankle
but worked on, getting Meeks out
DR.. Fitch was called and he attend
ed to the injured man at once
The last accident was the burn
ing of the little five year old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kern's,
of South Morgantown. The family
we've outside attending to some
matters and the children were in
the house. The little ones dress
caught from the open CRATE and in a
moment she was mass of flames.
Her screams attracted her mother
who tried to tear the burning dress
off the child. Her hands were badly
burned in the effort and Mr.. Kern
had to try to get the dress off before
1t could be done. DR.. McLane was
called and he dressed the burns 1t
cannot be told whether or not the
burns will prove fatal but it is to be
hoped that they will not.

How TO Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of cold or la grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is
the best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle
warranted. For sale by j. M. Reed,
druggist.

NO MORE MONKEYING.
Students hold a monster mass
ing Thursday night.


Resolutions adopted looking toward an
abolition Of the practice by the stu
dents themselves-An honor league
to be formed Speeches by the mem
bers Of the faculty and students
VIII meet again to form more per.
feet 0rganizati0n--A most commend.
able move.
From Fridays Daily.
Last evening a large number of
the University students held mass
meeting in Commencement Hall for
the purpose of forming an Honor
League. This is one of the most
commendable movements ever start
ed in the University, and if it sue
eeeds will be heralded all over the
country as an example of what stu
dents can do to put down dishonesty
in examinations.
One of the best things about the
affair is that large number OF our
eleanest and most honorable stu
dents feel deeply on the subject and
declare that no amount Of punish
ment by the faculty can correct dis
honesty in student body. The
honor of the students must be
stirred.
Addresses were made by Professor
Wiley, Prof. Woolery, Prof Hodges
and DR.. Brooke The movement IL
rapidly taking shape, and in short
time will be ready for public recog-
nition
The meeting was presided over by
James w. Horn as chairman and
Miss Gillian Jamison as secretary.
A resolution was introduced pledg-
ing every student present to do all in
his power to break up the practice
of cheating and it was unanimously
adopted. The meeting adjourned
without fixing a time tor the next
meeting and will come together
again when called by the president.
In the past much Of the friction that
has arisen between the faculty aud
the students has come about through
efforts at discipline called out by the
practice of cheating and the move
the students have entered into will
do much toward avoiding this The
move is one in which every right
mind student is interested and il is
bound TO succeed. 1t is the only one
by which cheating can he stopped.
From the remarks made by Col.
Frazier and w. w. Hughes on the
subject it was readily seen what
stand the students themselves took
on the scheme.

night on account of the continued
illness of Mayor Gasscock and they

With The Publishers.

To be on good terms with the pub
fishers of local papers is more i'm
portant consideration than many
merchants realize. One of State
streets most successful advertising
men told me the other day that much
of his success was owing to his policy
of treating the newspapers right.
He said he was never too busy to treat
their advertising solicitors politely,
always endeavored to avoid friction
in regard to the setting of his ads,
and in every way tried to maintain
cordial relations. The result is that
the newspapers will go out of their
way, and often do things out of the
ordinary for him.-Chicago Dry
