WALLOPED AGAIN.
O. w. u Swipes the Local Boys
in Onesided Game.

Score was Twelve TO 0ne--iiits and
Many Errors Responsible Buckeye
Boys Hit the Ball-Denison met To-
day and then the Boys come Home
Another Game with Weslyan--Game
ON Saturday Here.
Wednesday was another bad day
for the w. V. u. They were taken
into camp by the Ohio Wesleyan team
by score OF twelve to one. Twelve
hits were made by the Delawares and
no errors while we made six errors and
five hits. Bowman and Shelby were
the battery for the home boys.
The Delaware lads made five runs
in the fourth inning and four In the
sixth when the errors were made by
our boys. The team as usual made
the errors Just when the other fellows
were pounding the ball and the conse-
quence was that the runs were made
by the other side. There is one thing
certain and that Is ii the tendency to
make errors at critical periods Is not
over come that we will never be able
To beat very good team.
The local team Is a very good one
individually but they have not yet
learned TO play the game as they
should play it when it is necessary.
They will meet Denison University
this afternoon and will leave for home
tonight coming in on Friday. They
will play Seneca on Saturday after
noon on the University field
Ohio Wesleyan will be here for a
game during Commencement week
aud we may be able 60 get back mt
them for The defeat suffered at their
hands on Wednesday. Last year they
were beaten with ease when they
came here but this year they have
loaded to the neck.
The team now has seven games on
each side OF the ledger and 1t has
slightly the advantage in the number
of runs made. It has generally out
batted its opponents and shown that
it Is composed of better base ball
players except for the lack OF team
work and tendency TO make errors
at the very worst time for making
them.

Gospel Meetings.

The meeting at the new Christian
church last night was interesting
and impressive Rev Mr.. Spencer
preached on what it is to be dead in
sin and what it is to be made alive
in Christ He showed the lamenta-
BILE condition of many who though
honored, self complacent and pros
porous in the world, are, neverthe-
less living a merely animal life. spir-
itually bankrupt and in danger of
irreparable folly and loss. He also
showed the exceeding wisdom and
imperative duty of giving immediate
heed to the claims, commands and
promises of Christ. Preaching ev-
cry night at eight o'clock. These
important meetings cannot continue
more than five or six nights longer.
All are invited to attend them.

New Pipe Organ.

The ladies of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and many of the rep
resentative men of the congregation,
greatly desire that the elegant pipe
organ to be finally placed in the
new church edifiee when it shall be
erected, shall be purchased and put
in the present church structure dur
ing this summer. DR.. Leech has
been corresponding with celebrated
firm Of organ builders as to the low
est cash price possible for first
class church organ, with the present
pipe organ To be received as part
payment. This firm deals directly
with churches and not through
agents and middle men. Last night
the pastor urged the church officers
to head the ladies' subscription
funds by large donation from a
church fund and it was done by a
unanimous vote The ladies have
over hundred dollars in hand over
this donation, which will amount to
half OF the cash exchange. The la
dies intend at once, to canvass the
church and community for the 9th
er half. 1t is probable that the or
gan will be built and paid for within
ninety days.
The trustees expect to pay off the
$500 mortgage debt shortly and free
the congregation from all old obliga-
tions; and the church is being nice
ly repaired for temporary uses. THE
sum Of 1926 has been raised by sub
scriptions and applied to the cancel
lation OF all other debts, within the
past thirty Gays.

AT THE STATION.
Old Tank Being Taken away-New
Levees Being Built and Dam Being
Placed i'm C0buns Greek.

Mr.. Ogg superintendent of the
tank building department OF the
Eureka Pipe Line Company is here
looking after the tearing down of
the old tank which was so conspic-
uons drring the fire at the station
some time ago. The tank has been
torn down and it is now being load
ed to be taken away to be worked
no in other tanks. The intention
is not to replace the tank at present.
1t was at first thought that an new
one would be built right away b2t
this plan has been changed
Other work is going on steadily
at the station. Levees are being
placed around all the other tanks
and made much higher than the old
ones. The intention is to complete
ly isolate them so that In case of
fire there will be absolutely no dan
ger of the fire spreading Cobuns
creek is having large dam placed
in it so that in case the oil starts
down the creek it will be held up
before it reaches the station and all
of its machinery not to mention the
houses in the vicinity.
During the burning of the old
tank this source of danger was a
very threatening one and the people
living below spent a very lively
night Here after the danger will
be reduced to minimum from this
source

TWO PLAYS.
Entertainment TO Be Given on
Next Monday Night.

Local Talent will Produce two Excel
lent Plays for the Benefit of the Wom-
ans League and the Base Ball Team
food Audience Should see the Per-
formanee- Performers are now hard
nj Work.
After many vicissitudes the dra-
matte performance for the benefit Of
the Woman's League and Baseball
team will take place on Monday night
May goth, at Commencement Hall at
S:15. The program will consist Of
two plays, the first comedietta en-
titled "a Happy Pair, made famous
by Sidney Drew. The parts viii be
taken by Mrs. James G. Frazer and
Mr.. Shaffer. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that the production of this
play, so far as the acting is concerned,
will he up TO the high standard set by
both in former plays.
The second play is farce BOX
and Cox by James Madison Morton,
and is one Of the funniest ever writ
ten. The parts will be taken by Miss
Utt, and Messrs. Mckenzie and Fra
ger 1t is full of absurd situations,
and amounts practically TO continu-
Gus laugh from beginning to end.
Those who take part are well-knuwn
to Morgantown audiences, and will do
excellent work under the careful train
ing of Prof. G. II Patterson, who has
charge of the production of both the
plays.
These plays are given for the bene-
fit Of the Woman's League and the
share equally in the proceeds. The
charge for admissisn is very modest
one, being but twenty-five cents.
Both organizations are very much in
need o. money; the Woman's League
has an Indebtedness carried over from
last year, which, through the meager
support given its entertainments dur
ing the past year, it has been unable
to pay off, or even TO reduce; 1t is the
earnest desire Of the president and
board of directors of the League to
clear this debt, If possible during the
current year, and great deal can be
done towards it, If they are literally
supported on Monday night.
The baseball team is under heavy
expense in maintaining its organiza-
tion, and is the best advertising agent
for Morgantown and the University
that can be sent out. 1t has made,
all things being considered, splendid
record, and is well worthy of the en-
thusiastic support of all those who
believe that physical development in
student is as necessary as higher
education.
In short, there are no two organi-
sations in the town that should be
given more encouragement than these
two, aud it is matter for congratu-
lation that the young ladies and the
athletes are showing college spirit
by uniting their forces and working
together TO accomplish their purposes.
When the quality of the plays and
the modesty OF the price of admission
are taken into consideration there
should not be vacant seat in Com
mencement Hall on Monday night.

FROM MANILA.
Uniontown Soldier Writes OF
the War in the East.


Tells How Fred VI. Jennewine was
Killed i'm the Far of Land-Was a
Brave Soldier-Died in the very front
of the Fighting-BaIl Went Through
His Head-0ther Interesting Things
about the Campaign.
The particulars of the death Of
Fred Jennewine who was killed
in Manila some time ago are Civ
en- in letter from one of the sol.
diers of the regiment who wrote to
his mother a. Uniontown. The I'm
iontown News Standard publishes
the letter which is in part given be
low. The soldier is Charles Play
ford who was a member of the same
company with the Monongalia boy
and who saw him fall. The letter
is as follows:
The campaign was only planned
that far as it is the capital city and
the Filipinos were expected to put
up hard fight here, but they de-
serted the place as they have done
all the towns between here and Ma
Mia. We had also expected a hard
fight the first day out, but the in
surgents would not stay and after
giving us a pretty hot fire for about
half an hour, they retreated.
Our regiment took part in five
light engagements during the week,
the result being 26 wounded and 6
killed. Co c has been in all the
fights, and in the one of Wednesday
afternoon, decidedly the hottest of
all, was the only company that was
in the fight.
Charles Boyle and | were out in
front of the regiment with the line
of skirmishers that day and the
Filipinos opened up on us in great
style. 1t this fight Jennewine and
George Taylor of Co. II, who had
gotten with Co G, were killed and
Lewis and Ashcraft were wounded.
Co |, also had man killed IN this
battle.
/ do not mean when / say that
Co c. was the only one strictly in
this fight that the other companies
did not want in it, but their position
was such that they could not get up
soon enough.
We, the skirmishers, had just
crossed the river on the railroad
bridge and spread out, when the
Filipinos opened front and cross
fire on u.s. Co c was just crossing
the bridge, being the first of the reg
iment to reach it. They came on
across but the fire grew so hot that
the rest OF the regiment was not al
lowed to mass upon the bridge, so
had to ford and get around the best
they could, which made them too
late to help us much Jennewine
was In the skirmishers and was kill
ed few feet farther down the line
than where Charley and | were ly
ing, and not until after the company
had come up. He was one OF the
best soldiers | ever saw and the
| company will miss him sadly. Dur
ing all the time that we were lying
behind the little rice dykes waiting
for the company to help us. he,
Charley and l were firing as fast as
We could, and just as they reached
us he was hit in the head. | had
just before got fine little melon in
filed we came through and was
carrying along until the next halt,
but when | saw a line Of smoke
break out in front Of me and little
things commenced to hiss around
me, | let the melon go and made the
run of my life fora rice dyke, where
we went TO work.

What One Railroad has Done.

the taxable wealth, real and person
al, Of Morgan District, has increased
from about one million to about two
million dollars. The exact figures
are as follows: 1887, $l,042,377 in
1899, 81, sol 1872, with reassessment
of land values to be made this sum
mer, which will show further in
crease Of over 100000. Think of
it. One railroad, in dozen years,
has doubted the taxable apealth of
Morgan District alone; practically
created million dollars in a dozen
years, or at the rate of over $4,000
per year, and still going on. The
Morgantown banks have over three
quarters of million dollars on de
posit. Money is more abundant than
ever before in the history of Nor
gantown. Population has nearly
trebled in the same time, and more
and better buildings have been
erected in that time than in any fif
ty years before. With increase in
population and wealth have come
telephones, sewers, water works, nat
ural gas, electric lights, splendid
public school building, new postof-
flee, new bank buildings, new
bank, a free bridge, new Court house,
new bridges on Deckers Creek, two
new municipal corporations, Seneca
and Greenmont, planning mills,
wooden mill, brick yards. carriage
factory, furniture factories, glass
works, new stores, and more and bet
ter milk, butter, eggs and vegetable
supplies than ever In short, all
that makes Morgantown and vicini-
ty delightful for residence and
profitable for business.
The University, after tagging along
for twenty years, with less than $50
students in attendance, in any year,
till after 1887, has leaped forward to
over 800 students, and promises
soon to pass the 1000 notch.
Building lots are being laid out in
all the suburbs and are selling at
prices that are netting handsome
profits to the original owners, who
had held them for years for pasture
or grass. New homes and students
boarding houses are going up. In
short, Morgantown's prosperity be-
gan with the retirement of the old
stage coach, and the ADVENT of a
railroad.
What Morgantown wants is more
inspiration of the same sort. A
Railroad to Kingwood will shorten
the time to Baltimore and Washing
ton at least three hours, and dimin-
ish the distance over thirty miles.
1t will bring Kingwood, Reedsville,
Masontown, and Dellslow to our
door, with all their business to swell
our profits and prosperity. Their
banking will be done here, their cat
tie and live stock will he shipped
this way, while the vast area of coal,
cover 10000 acres, equal to the
Connellsville, or the best anywhere,
would be mined and go west and to
the Lakes by way Of Morgantown.
The limestone and timber would
yield vast traffic, and with the
coal, give employment to thousands
of men. We can have this new rail
road by making paltry susbscrip
ton $4,000. We could make it a
100000 and not exceed the consti-
tntional limit We can have it aoU
if we will help ourselves. If we re-
fuse to give the aid asked, then
posterity will reap the benefit and
not this generation.
