PLANS SELECTED.
Annex to the Capitol is Now
Ready to Be Built.

Col. r. Z. Fast Member Of The Cont
mission Which selected it-He is
Back at Home who the Other
Members are-Col. Fast is Again
Made Colonel and is Made Perma-
nent Commandant OF Cadets 1t the
University.
COL r. e. Fast is back FROM Charles
ton where he had been to attend
meeting of the commission to select
plans for the new Are proof annex to
the capitol. This is TO be built right
away and it will be used as storage
place for the priceless records which
are at present stored 10 an old fattle
trap which is liable to burn down at
moments notice.
Besides Col. Fast, the governor. the
speaker of each house and the chairman
of the house committee on finance
made up the commission. They were
delegated to do the work before the
adjournment of the late Session OF the
legislature.
The annex is supposed to be the
anchor of the capitol and will prevent
its removal to Parkersburg which
came so near being accomplished at
the recent meeting Of the state law
makers. In case the session had last
ed few days longer the move would
have been accomplished as far as the
legislature could have done and 1t
would have met with very little real
opposition from the mass Of the voters
of the state.
The commission adopted the plans
of Harrison Albright Of Charleston
and the contract will be let for the
building as soon as 1t can be done.
While Col. Fast was in Charleston
he was made a member Of the Cover
nor's staff with the rank Of Colonel
and was placed in charge OF the Cadet
Corps permanently. He has been
acting as commandant for some time
during the absence of the regular
army officer who has been detailed for
this duty but who at present is with
his regiment. Col. r. E. Fast will
act in this capacity until an army Of
ficer is available which in the light Of
the present complications in which
this country finds itself may be mat
ter of some time. He will allow no
backward step to be taken in the
cadet corps and will maintain its
present high standing as military
Organization.

GONE TO WASHINGTON.
DR.. Hopkins of the Experiment
Station has Gone West

Will Be Absent for Several Months
Mission 10 Investigate the Death Of
Certain trees In Several States Of the
Paciflc Ceast-Sent BY the United
States Observation-Disclosures Great
Compliment 10 his Worth-He Left
saturday.
DR.. A. d. Hopkins entomologist
at the state Experiment Station
left Saturday for the state of Wash
ington where he will begin a course
of investigation into the forests OF
that and adjoining states which will
last for about three months.
He is sent there by the Division
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
work that be will do will be right in
line with the specially in which he
has become so justly famed.
1t was in consequence OF the
standing that he had made BY his
investigations and work among the
pine forests of this state and the
discoveries he had made in that
work that he was selected for the
mission on which he is now engag.
ed. DIR. L. o. Howard in writing to
Director Stewart in regard to the in
vestigation states that Doctor Hop
kins is regarded as the most cele
brated man in the country to-day in
his line Of work and that it is be-
cause of his eminent standing that
he has been selected.
The selection is a great compli-
ment not only to the DIR. who is
very modest man but of the Expert
ment Station and the University
with which he is connected.
The expenses of the investigation
are to be borne by the nation i
government and the state will re, 7
a large measure of the good results
obtained through the great oppor
tunities which will be afforded Lr
Hopkins for original work along Tie
lines which he has made his especial
study.
He will begin his work in South
ern Oregon and work northward to
ward the interior as the weather
opens up. He will look after the
insect enemies of the redwood and
other timber of the government res
ervations and will seek remedy
for the trouble resulting from these
attack The states of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, and Montana will be
visited before his return here about
the first of July.
During his absence the work OF
his department at the Station will
be under the direction of Prof Rum
sey his assistant.

ANOTHER WARRANT.
w. c. Sackett has sworn out warrant
for Keener's arrest-Will do no

W. c. Sackett has sworn out warrant
for Keener's arrest-Will do no
good.
W. @. Sackett of Smithfeld has
heard OF Major Keener's absence and
has sworn out a warrant for him
charging him with having defrauded
the swearers out Of sum of money in
cattle deal. Mr.. Sackett is little
late but he should remember that cell
ebrated receipt for cooking hare.
MAJOR Keener will enjoy himself in
pastures new for some time undis
turbed by thoughts of trouble. He
can be located at any time but its a
safe shot that he is not very far away.
However he is not at all likely to be
arrested unless some man takes it in
to his head 10 pay the expenses of
fighting the case in addition to the
cost that he has been at through as
ISOLATION with the oily cattle king.
There are many warrants and there
is but one Keener. Some day we may
have the pleasure OF seeing the gentle
men again but we doubt it very much.

The Preliminary contest to select a
representatives of the w. 7. U. 10 the
intercollegiate contest to be held la
May at Thiel college was held here on
Friday night Commencement Hall
at the University was the scene OF the
conflict. The audience was small ard
the interest was less manifest than 1t
has been for years
The decision of the judges was for
Samuel Spear for first place and Col.
James G. Frazer for alternate. Both
OF these gentleman are members OF
the Columbian Society which carried
of the laurels in consequence. The
judges were Hon. John w. Mason OF
Fairmont and Reys. Leech and Wine
coff of Morgantown.
IdJttlSOi VI bit dt pal
OF elocution presided and introduced
the speakers. Music was furnished
by the Woman's Glee club which never
sang better and which was enthusi-
actically encored.
Mr.. Spear who took first place had
probably the best subject Of the even
Ing at least it was the most appropos.
He had the sympathy of his audience
and carried them away with enthusi-
asm. The subject matter was very
fine and took high rank while his de-
livery was also very good and his al
pearance on the stage was in his
favor.
Col. Frazer was very much at eas,
and gave his performance without
the evidence of any effort whatever
He is a very smooth speaker and ell
ployed none of the articles OF tn
demigogue The grafton was very
logical and its arrangement was al
that could be desired.
The other gentleman did well al,
though the contest was not up TO tn,
standard set in former years by any
means. This was due TO lack of pre- p
aration, several of the performers ny
having had their oraticns finishA
until the week of the contest. Tho

The Rulers Of the Institution on the
Hill-Plans for Mechanical Hall the
Most ImpOrtant-All the other New
Buildings Will be Decided Upon-All
The Regents will Be Here-Other
Business to be Transacted.
The board of regents will meet in
Morgantown on Tuesday, April Is,
for the transaction of some very i'm
portant business. They will take
up plans for all the new buildings
that are to go up during the coming
two years and will decide on them.
The Mechanical Hall plans are the
most important of these, that is
they will receive the first attention
as it is more essential that the work
on this building begin Immediately.
In case the plans are prepared in
such a way that it is possible, the
bids will be advertised for immedi-
ately and the contracts let for the
erection of the new buildings at
once. There is to be. besides the
Mechanical Hall, library and mu-
scum and an armory.
In all there is to be about eighty
thousand dollars worth of buildings
to be erected on the University
grounds during the next two years.
The board will decide on the loca-
tions of these buildings at the meet
ing.
They will take up the matter OF
more ground for the use of the Uni
versity and may decide to buy some
more. The legislature refused to
make any appropriations for this oh
ject but the school demands more
room and it will not do to hesitate
so that they may take some action
in spite of the failure of the legisla-
ture.
Besides this they will take up the
summer quarter and make some pro-
visions for it and some regulations
concerning it. Until now the matter
has been left to the local authorities
and the executive committee but the
board will be asked to take charge
Other matters may come up, in
fact anything that can be transact
ed by any regular meeting of the
board may be taken up. All the
members of the board are to be here,
All of them have been notified and
it is hoped that they will make it
convenient to attend the meeting.
This will be the first meeting since
last year.
A great many plans are expected
to come before them and several
days will be taken up by this. They
have advertised the wants of the
school very we'll among the leading
architects and members of the pro
fession from all over the country
will be here to compete.
