AWFUL HEAT.
Morgantown is the Warmest Thing that
Ever Happened on Sunday-Relief
Coming.

Mcrgantown had position on
Sunday which was quite promi-
nent one and one that we did not
need very badly. 1t was about the
hottest place in the United States.
Pittsbnrg was quite warm, themercu-
ry having gone to eighty eight This
was the hottest ever registered in
that city since the establishment Of
the weather observatory there Park
ersburg was in the nineties and this
was the hottest reported Morgan
town was about the same place that
Parkersburg was and the two swell
tered along in very brotherly fashion.
Havana was very cool having only
seventy two degrees to contend with.
Other points in the south were cool
and none OF the places reported north
nor south came near the three places
mentioned above.
Cooler weather is promised us now
however and we are likely to have
thunder storms of some violence
which will result in cooling us to
some extent. At any rate we can
confidently predict that the extremt
warmth will not last very long

The Up TO Date Clothier aud Shoe
Man.

This well known and admirably
conducted store is the center of at.
traction to large portion of this
community, being by common con-
sent the leading and best equipped
house of its kind in this part of the
state. No business house in the
city is more distinctly cosmopolitan
in appearance, class of goods and
manner of doing business. That the
house caters to the best trade may
be inferred at once from the at
traetive aspect of the heavily stock
eel and handsome store, aud that it
does large trade may be learned
by noting the activity of the clerical
force on all business days of the
week The liberal and prompt way
in which the wants OF patrons are
attended to, bespeaks an unusual
share of popularity. The store is
most conveniently located in the
new Poster Building, corner of High
and Walnut streets, and is thor
oughly equipped with the latest i'm
provements, including cash and
package railway system. The pub
lie when shopping can step in and
select their clothing, furnishings
and shoes from the most desirable
assortment in this part of the state.
A complete stock Of everything in
the way OF mems, youths and boys
clothing is carried, also all the num-
erous details of mems furnishings.
In the shoe department can be found
complete stock of the latest style
shoes for men, youths and boys; al
60 every thing that is new in the
lae of footwear for ladies, children
and misses at prices that cannot be
beaten in the county Mr. Whiting
ton has shod thousands of people
with $500 shoes for 25 cents by his
new coupon system. Call or write
for a coupon book. In connection
with the regular business there is a
repairing department where shoes
are neatly and quickly repaired Mr..
Wilmington personally looks after
the management of the store, and
pursues the most systematic meth
DDS in all affairs, and customers will
always find him alive to their wants.

CENSUS SUPERVISORS
OF West Virginia The Second and
Fourth District Appointments Prac-
Practically Agreed Upon.

Two of the four appointments of
supervisors of census for West Vir-
ginia have been practically agreed
upon, these of the Second and
Fourth districts, respectively, as
they are recognized congressionally.
1t is understood that Mr.. L. G..
Powell, editor of the West Virginian
at Fairmont, is the choice for the
Second district, and Mr.. Thomas A.
Brown, of Elizabeth, Writ county,
for the Fourth district. The choice
in the Third congressional district,
it is said, lies between Editor j. A.
Oldfield, of Mcdowell county, and
Mr.. E. L Dunn, of Red Sulphur
Springs. 1t cannot be now predict
ed which will win, nor whether a
third man is likely to be named as
compromise.
The selection ia the First district,
it is said, will not be made for sever
al weeks owing to the difficulty in
deciding among the aspirants.
As previously stated in the Intel
ligencer, West Virginia will be en-
titled, under the apportionment, to
four supervisors. Each Of these will
receive ST. 900 in compensation, and
their active duties will cover per-
iod of less than four months.

Morgantown Marble and Granite Works

The Morgantown Marble and
Granite Works located on Foundry
street, of which j. E. Watts d Co.
are proprietors, is an establishment
where are manufactured all kinds of
monuments, head stones, slabs and
marble and granite work in general
The concern turns out some of the
most beautiful specimens of artistic
work to be found in this locality.
There are but few families but some
time or other have the mournful
task of erecting monument over
the grave of some dear deceased or
departed friend. In consulting this
firm, they will at the same time,
best consult their own interests, and
will receive entire satisfaction 1t
is the aim of the firm to furnish only
first classeproductions at the lowest
prices to be had anywhere in this
vicinity. They employ no agents,
but sell direct to the people, thus
giving their customers the benefit
of the agents profits. The individual
members of the firm are j. E. Watts
and M. w. Protzman; both gentle
men are thorough, practical stone
cutters, marble cutters and design
ers, and to-day they enjoy a patron
age second to none in this part of
the country. They have had over
thirty years experience in the bust
ness, and but few firms in this part
OF the state can say as much. They
are an authority in every branch Of
the trade, and are thoroughly famil
lar with the various marbles and
GRANTEES adapted for the needs of the
business. They keep in stock only
their own manufacture and produc-
tions, and are prepared to promptly
execute all orders for monumental
work of every description, no mat
ter how extensive. Estimates will
be furnished upon application, and
the character of the work they exc
cute is illustrated by the fact that
they have built monuments for the
most prominent families in this sec
ton of the country. Give them a

THE SUMMER QUARTER.
Last year the University adopted
the continuous session plan, and the
first Summer Quarter was held last
summer. About two hundred students
attended, representing thirteen diff
ferent states. The prospects are good
for twice that number OF students the
coming Summer Quarter, which will
begin July lst and continue for twelve
weeks. Instruction will be given In
all of the regular courses of the Unit
versity, and in addition number of
eminent educators from other insti-
buttons will be present and give course
of lectures which will be free to all
students. This is very great oppor-
tunity to school teachers especially.
ATHLETICS.
The University has finely equipped
gymnasium in charge of thoroughly
trained director whose whole time is
employed for that purpose. Field
sports, such as football, baseball. etc,
are also encouraged under proper re-
strictions. Last fall the West Vir-
