Miss Olive Dawson.

DAwsON--Miss Olive Dawson a
well known lady OF this place died a
few minutes before five o'clock on
Friday morning, November oath, 1899,
aged 40 years, months and "a days.
While her death was not unexpected
it was received with sorrow through
out the community. Miss Olive had
been more or less an invalid for over
six years past, sufferer from Bright's
disease. About ten days ago the fatal
attack came on and it was apparent
to her friends the end was near.
She was the least disturbed about it,
sinking to rest in perfect peace and
full faith. Her death was triumph.
From little girl she had been con-
sistent member Of the M. P. church.
Miss Olive was we'll known here as
she was a native Of Morgantown as
was the entire family. None knew
her but to love and esteem her.
Three sisters, Miss Laura, Mrs. Hell
mick and Mrs. Rhoads, and two BROTH
ers James w. and #. M. Dawson sur
wye her All are residents OF Nor
gantown except Mrs. Rhoads whose
home is at Masontown, Pa. Her
death leaves-a vacancy that cannot be
filed Her bereaved family have the
sympathy of their very large circle
of friends. The funeral was held
on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the
interment being in Oak Grove by the
side Of her father and mother.

Where the Boycott should Begin.

To the Editor of the DAILY NEW DOMINION
l agree with your correspondent
chat we should boycott the bad air
nuisance, and am going to tell you
where the boycott should begin.
An audience was invited to Com
mencemenl Hall on Thursday night,
and although they have about $50
windows in that hall they were care
sully closed down. A large audience
sweltered in an atmosphere that
would kill rats for about two hours
erying to enjoy musical entertain
inent. Some of them were ready to
faint when it was over. When they
tried to get out the doors were still
closed: there was no janitor there to
open them; only one door could be
opened; the audience squeezed out
single file struggling for breath of
air; the entertainment was spoiled:
and as the people went home the sub
icct Of comment all along the line was
not the music but ordinations of
disgust about the air of the hall.
1t would seem that the University
ought to set an example of healthy
and decent conditions, but 1t don't.
l know Of no better place to begin the
proposed boycott than at commence
ment hall. Let the word pass.
