entire expenses by running a printing estab-

managed the business. but also set all the typo
and did tho printing. They were successful in
their undertaking and probably will increase
their equipment this tall in order TO fill orders
that they were unable to accept last winter. Tho

The nomination OF candidates for the Presi-
dcncy and Vice Presidency by resolutions Of
State Legislatures. which was common In the
campaigns Of 1924, 1928 and 1892, was not en-
tirely abandoned even after the adoption OF the
national convention in the last named year. For
instance in Jan. 1925, Hugh l. White was nomi-
mated Tor tho Presidency by a Joint resolution Of
the Alabama Legislature; while, as late as 1912,
John C. Calhoun was nominated by the Lcgisla-
lures Of South Carolina and Georgia as candidate
for the election Of 1874. Akin to the method just
described WAS the nomination Of national can
didates by joint caucus Of the party members Of
a State Legislature. Dewitt Clinton was nonin-
atcd by a caucus of the Republican members Of
the New York Legislature in 1872 This was the
commonest mode OF nomination during the period
OF transition from the Congress caucus to the ma
tional convention. Still another method OF nom-
mating national candidates was followed during
the transition period This was n convention con
sisting of the party members Of the Legislature
supplemented with delegates from counties
or towns, not represented in this Legislatures by
members, who belonged 10 the party holding the
convention. An example is to be found in the
nomination OF John Quincy Adams in Jan 1929
at Joint meeting Of the Republican members
Of the Massachusetts, Legislature and of Repub-
lican delegates Of the various towns In tho
Commonwealth not represented In tho Logis-
lature."

The regular November law exami-

continue for three days. These exl
aminations are held every quarter
and are open to any one who desires
to be admitted to practice in the
state. The law faculty of the Uni
versity has been delegated by the
Supreme court into whose hands it
was put to hold them and to pass
on the applicants. In case the young
men are successful the Supreme
court admits them to practice. As
a result Of this restriction the tone
of the bar over the state is being
very greatly improved. Only those
who are thoroughly equipped are
admitted to the bar.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Bad Train Wreck Barely Ayerted on
Tuesday Morning at Outcrop.

The early morning train to Pitts
burg had narrow escape from being
badly wrecked at Outcrop on Tuesday
morning. 1t ran into an open switch
just beyond the tunnel at Outcrop.
The Uniontown News Standard tells
OF the accident It is a matter of
congratulation to the friends OF those
on the train that the wreck was no
worse than it was. The story of the
accident is as follows:
The 7:27 B. & O. northbound pas
senger train had narrow escape
from bad wreck at Outcrop this
morning. A freight train had run
onto the siding there to allow the
passenger train TO pass and the south
ern end of the switch was left open.
The passenger train ran into the open
switch and crashed against the rear
of the train. The cow catcher of the
engine was badly smashed but no 9TH
er damage was done to the train
Conductor tucker Hunt was pass
ing from one coach TO another at the
time and was thrown against the
guard rails, sustaining cut on the
head, one on the knee and several
bruises on the body. A Mr.. Williams
OF Pittsburg was also cut by being
thrown against the car. The pas
sengers were badly shaken up and
frightened. The only thing that
averted a bad wreck was the slow
speed of the train. 1t had checked
up to pass through the tunnel and
was running slow when it struck the
switch.

BRITISH DEFEAT.
Two Regiments and Battery Captured
on Tuesday Condition Of
the Remainder of the Beseiged.

The Boer- British war in South
Africa which started off with such
hurrah for the British is resulting
very seriously for them. They have
been reporting victory after victory
but they have had to fall back re
peatedly and on Tuesday a singing
defeat was given them by the Beers
at Ladvsmith where the British are
very closely beseiged.
A column of British made sortie
and after fighting desperately the
whole command was captured.
They lost heavily in the fighting.
Two regiments and a battrey includ-
ing seven cannon were captured.
The regiments and battery were
among the pick of the army and the
condition of the remainder of the
command in Ladysmith is desperate.
They will undoubtedly have to sur
render If their retreat is cut off and
it probably is.
Johnny Bull has undertaken a
very large contract and his greed
for gold and diamonds will cost him
dearly before he gets out of the
mess. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that he will get what he needs and
that is sound thrashing before the
war is over

LCV DAYS
Prof. F. H. Crago of Wheeling who
was recently here in attendance on
the meeting of the Monongahela
Valley Round Table has written up
the information of that organization
for the Wheeling Intelligencer. AT
ter telling about the sessions he has
the following to say about the town:
Morgantown of to-day is very dit
ferent from Morgantown of few
years ago After an absence of four
years it is hard to realize that the
changes have been so great. A real
city is springing up from the steady
going old town of years ago and met
ropolitan airs are being put on by
those who are taking the place of
those who managed things in the
days of long ago. The University
is in a very dourishing condition.
Every body seems to think that the
school is on the road to permanent
prosperity and Morgantown may
well feel proud that as a city it is
the seat of such an institution.

NO NEWS.
Rural Mail Delivery was to Have Been
Established To-day But no Informa-
ton Has Been Received About it.

This was the day on which rural
mail delivery was to have started but
no move to that end has been made
and nothing has been heard from Mr..
A. B. Smith of the department who
has it in charge. However it will be
established and will start as soon as
possible.
When Mr.. Smith left here he had
to go to Connecticutt to look after
some of the work of the department
in that section Of the country and he
has probably been delayed longer than
he anticipated when he left for that
place. The delivery is sure go and
it will be started as soon as he can
get on the ground and make the nee

SHOOTING STARS.
Millions to be Seen During This
Month.

Greatest Showers ON the Night of the
FOurteenth-TheirO Origin observers
Are to be Treated to Rare and Mag
nificent Sight.
The sky will be ablaze with mete-
Ors this month, especially during the
few days preceding and following
November IA.
Hundreds of persons who admire
the various phenomena of the heavens
are waiting impatiently for the COM
ing of the November shower of stars,
which, this year, will be of snrpass-
ing beauty. Annually between the
18th and goth OF November there are
occurrences of these starry showers of
various degrees of spectacular attrac
tiveness, but this time, according TO
all signs, the heavens will take on a
degree of wondrous beauty, outrival-
ing anything seen before.
Sometime between midnight and
dawn on November IA the myriad of
meteorites that make up the Leonids
will cross the orbit Of the earth, and,
becoming ignited by the awful heat
generated in their flight through the
atmosphere of the earth, will sweep
through the sky, leaving long lumi-
nous trail. Millions of them will be
consumed in this flight and will leave
a lurid trail as they speed towards the
earth. The fact that they will be en-
tirely consumed before reaching this
earth saves the inhabitants from dire
consequences. Falling stars or the
wandering tramps of the universe, as
they are called, are familiar sights to
people. They come from no one
knows where, and go to the same
place, without aim, object or orbit.
But with the Leonids science is fami-
liar as with most Of the heavenly
bodies. They travel in a definite or
bit around the sun and their coming
is prOphesied with the same accuracy
that marks that of an >clipse of the
sun. The Leonids take their name
from the fact that they enter earth's
atmosphere from the constellation
Leno, which, during the most brill
liant part of the shower, will be
directly overhead,
The Leonids are believed to have
been at one time united body that
moved through space in the same or
bit now followed by the comet. The
theory generally accepted is that the
original body was disintegrated by
the heat developed in its course
through the sky. There was an ex-
plosion at sometime, which must
have startled entire space. The body,
it is thought, broke into millions of
fragments which still obey the mys-
terious forces that held the body to a
certain course, and hence they fell
into line to become the mighty comet,
soon to dazzle observers the world
over.
