EVERYTHING ENCOURAGING.
Commander Brown Renews the
Chadwick Campaign.

Office again Opened up Letters still
Being Received from M. l..
Temple What He says In Relation
to the Celebration -Morgantown the
Only Place for II.
Commander Brown has again open
ed his office and Is pushing the Chad
wick Day celebration as hard as it can
be pushed The indications are the
most favorable for the suddenness of
the movement and there is a great
deal of interest being aroused in it
among those who have formerly made
Morgantown their home.
Among the many letters received is
one from NJ. L. Temple, of Iowa. Mr..
Temple was member Of the class
OF 10. He writes as follows
To Il. Nj. G. Brown, Vice President of
the Committee, Morgantown, w. Va.
Dear Sir:-In answer TO your letter
OF late will say, that while | heartily
concur in making the presentation of
the sword to Captain Chadwick, a
state affair | cannot endorse the sug-
gestion | see made in some OF the
newspapers, |. e., that the ceremony
should be had at Charleston | think
Morgantown, Capt. Chadwick's birth
place, the home OF his youth, the
abode of his family for honorable gen.
erations should be the place selected,
and 1T is In my humble Judgment the
only suitable place. | hope you will
not concede anything ON this point. |
wish very much that | could be with
you, but circumstances render it inn
possible. The celebration COM
memorates the participation by one
of the sons Of old Monongalia In one
of the most notable events Of history.
The patient search, and the watch for
Cervera's fleet, is more notable, and
was more trying than the search OF
Nelson for the French fleet in the
Eastern Mediterranean, and the vic.
tory Of Santiago, makes the battle OF
the Nile pale into insigniticanee when
we compare the conditions, the decis-
iveness, and the general results.
hope the day will be success as
know it must be when | read the list
of the committee. With hearty

KILLING BIRDS.
Wholesale Slaughter of the Innocents
by the Boys-Police are given
Tin.

A great many of the small boys
over town have procured sling shots
and are shooting all sorts of birds.
They have killed a number of the
most beautiful .songsters that we
have. They claim that they are
killing English sparrows. The facts
are that they are killing all kinds
that they run across while they are
looking for birds.
Besides breaking the law by kill
ing the song birds and being liable
for punishment on this score the
boys are violating an ordinance by
shooting the sling shots in the bor-
ough. The police should look out
for them and run few of the Young
law breakers in before the mayor,
Complaint is being made by sew
eral of those interested in the birds
and the slaughter will have to be
stopped Besides the shooting of
the birds and breaking of the ordi
nance the weapons are dangerous
and accidents in which people figure
are bound tc occur unless the prac-
tlce is nipped suddenly in the bud

GOING FORWARD
Street Paving being Pushed over
Town.
Front Street Worked on Wiley Street
Attracting Attention University Job
to be Taken Up Soon--0ther Streets
to be Payed-End of the Work.

The paving is going on steadily
all over town and before very long
it will have been all done. Front
street is now receiving attention
from the brick layers. The section
between Peasants street and Walnut
has been laid and opened for traffic.
Brick is now going down between
Walnut and Bumbo Lane. The
eurbing is scattered on up to the
foot of the University hill but this
is due to mistake. Paving will
not extend past Bumbo and the
curling placed on up the street will
have to be removed.
Work is also being done on Will
ley street from Main to Long Alley.
The street is torn up to its junction
with Front street and brick is piled
high along the sides. The curbing
has been placed along part of this
and the rest is now being put in.
Brick is being piled along the
street to the University line and
there is very little room for people
to get past This will not be allowed
to remain long but it will be put
down as fast as possible. After
this part of the street is paved
Spruce street and Kirk Alley will be
taken up and finished and then the
part of Walnut between Main and
Spruce streets will be paved. This
will finish the work of the town and
the paving will have to rest until
more money comes in from the reve
nues.
This will not have to be very long
is a couple of blocks may be paved
each summer until the whole town
is provided with pavements. The
money left available for this use is
considerable every year and 1t will
be greater after the new assessment
of real estate.
Curling is being gotten out for
the University paving from the bor-
ough line out past the Experiment
Station on both roads and this will
be taken up along with the paving
on the part of the town to the line.
Col Gilmore has the contract for
this and he will make pavement
that will be first class. Ike Weaver
is getting out the curbing for this
as well as for the other paving that
is being put down.

SEVERAL RIBS BROKEN.
Mrs. T. j. Gilmore Falls and is Badly
Injured Mt her Home.

Mrs. T. j. Gilmore of Sunnyside
is suffering from the effects of an
accident which occurred in rather
a peculiar manner. While she was
preparing breakfast she stepped on
a tomato skin which had fallen on
the floor and was thrown heavily,
falling on her back. Several ribs
were broken by the fall and she was
injured in other ways from the
strain.
DIR. L S. Brock was called and is
waiting on her. She is resting as
easily as could be expected on ac
count Of the injuries received. Every
one is sorry to learn of the accident
and we trust that she may shortly
recover from the effects of it.

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Mystery Regarding the Death Of a West
Virginia Soldier.

A few weeks ago the body of Will
Allen, discharged soldier from the
Philippines, reached his fathers home
in Tyler county, and was buried, the
paper accompanying it indicating the
boy had committed suicide at San
Francisco.
Later letter was received by the
parents to unite bandage around the
dead soldiers head and they would
find he was shot in the back of the
head, the ball coming out at the eye,
and claiming he was murdered. The
body was eXhumed on Monday and
found as the letter indicated. An old
carbine was sent with the body, which
the letter states, was done for effect.
The case has been placed in the hands
of the United States authorities, who

from the fact that every book in the

A new RESERVOIR.
Will have a Capacity of One
Million Gallons.

Many Other improvements to he Made
by the Union Improvement Company
New Filter to go in-Pumps have
been Installed Abundant supply of
Good Water.
The Union Improvement Compa-
ny are taking steps to remedy the
water supply defects and they will
in a short time be able to give the
people of the town an abundant and
pure supply of water. The steps that
they will take IN this are to erect a
pew reservoir and to put in large
filter. This will be done as quickly
as it can be done and the water will
soon be clear as it should be when it
comes out of the spigots
Bids are asked for the erection OF
the new reservoir. This will be
placed on the Domain hill in South
Morgantown and will have capaci-
ty OF one million gallons The pumps
that they have in will be able to fill
this every twenty four hours with
ease. Two six inch lines will be run
into the tank and an eight inch line
run over into town from it.
1t will be fifty feet higher than
the old tanks and will in conse-
quenee render it necessary to re-
move them to higher ground to make
them useful, in the event that they
would overflow from the pressure OF
the water from the big reservoir.
The old tanks may be placed on
Prices hill and an eight inch line run
from them down into the town. This
new supply joined to the old will rem
der the town as secure as it possibly
can be from danger from fire. The
tank to be built will hold enough
water to run for twenty four hours
without any addition to its contents.
This will render us independent of the
pumps and 10 matter what accident
might happen to them while there
was a fire we would have water
enough.
A filter will be put in to filter all
Of the water that comes into town.
The exact plan of this has not yet
been decided upon but the best that
can be obtained will be put in. The
water now is not all filtered but what
does come through is all right. The
only trouble is that the demand is in
creasing so fast that the filters at pres
ent cannot keep up with it.
A new pump has been installed and
they will be able to fill the tanks
every day starting with empty ones II
necessary. But they will not be call
ed on to do this for long time. How
ever the demand may overtake the
supply before very long. This has
been the history in the past and it
will no doubt prove to be the case in
the future. The town is growing rap
idly and the demand for everything
| is increasing correspondence with
/ leaps and bounds.
The contemplated improvements
will all be completed by the first of
October. The contract for the CON
struction Of the reservoir will be let
on the tenth of this month and work
will begin at once and be pushed to
completion as fast as possible.

Major W. w. Scott has decided that
the practice march Of the First Bat
talon OF the First Regiment will
start at MOrgant0wn AMI be TO Terra
Alta. He was here on Wednesday
and went over the route TO Reedsville
when the decision was made. The
other end of the route had been in
spected at some time before. The
four companies will be sent to this
place and they will start from here
for the thirty mile march aud four
days camp.
The companies making up this bat
talon are those from Wellsburg, Bur-
ton, Fairmont and this place. The
Clarksburg Company will not go with
US. The companies are respectively
&C. "F.n &C. and a." Nearly
two hundred men will be on the
march. They will go in heavy march
ing order with all of the equipment Of
soldiers taking the field for cam
paign.
The start will be made as soon as
the equipment of the local company
is received. This may be on the ninth
but it will not be later than the f1f-
tenth. The other companies will
come to this place on the afternoon
before the regular start is to be made
and they will be marched with the
local boys to the first camp near Fair
child Harner's place near the Dorsey
School house. Here the first night
will be spent and an early start made

Alta will be the next stops and the
command will make it in three days.
Camp will be made at Terra Alta and
they will remain there for four days
engaged in target practice. The re-
turn march over the same ground will
then be made.
The men will have good tents.
These will be quite breezy on the top
of the mountain at Terra Alta as it is
always cool up there at this season of
the year. The target practice will be
under the direction of Prof. T. E.
Hodges who is inspector of rifle prac-
tice for the guard. He will go with
the command and look after the prac-
tice.
The march that has already been
made has been very successful one.
The men have gained great deal Of
experience and they have enjoyed the
trip very much. 1t may be arranged
for the camp at Terra Alta to last
longer and for the return by rail from
that place to the homes of the differ
ent companies.
