Applicants for work in the mines are

A COLLEGE FACULTY FIGHT.
The West Virginia University Re-
gents at Variance.


MORGANFOWN. W Va. April THE
Board Of Regents of West Virginia Uni
versity has formally received from Presi-
dent Raymond charges of insubOrdinatiCn
and incOmpetency against Prof. Robert \.
Armstrong. Prof Robert 4. Duuthat, Prof.
James W. Hartigan Prof. James 5. Stew
art, and Prof Samuel B Brown, with
the recommendation that they be dismiss
ed. President Raymond also preferred
charges against James II. Stewart and
Runsel L. Morris but it is thought their
removal will not be insisted on b. him.
The regents believe they are confronted
with one of the grayest situations the in
stitution has ever been placed in and have
resolved 10 give every man a hearing. The
members OF the faculty who are charged
with various offences will file counter,
charges and will insist upon the removal
of the president. They make no secret o.
their intense hatred Of him. and most Of
them anticipated the recommendation o.
the president by getting together lot
OF evidence for their side.
One of the most prominent of the boart
said the board had sufficient evidence to
warrant the outsing of at least three pro-
fcssors. but he declined 10 say who they
are.
Prof. d. j. Barton began the attack on
the president by appearing before the
beard with a number of charges Mr..
Barton was removed in August after he
had been reelected at an increased salary.
Each professor will be called in turn
President Raymond is confident that he
will be sustained in every case. He says
he is the victim of a conspiracy on the
part of the faculty which has been brew
ing for a year.

THURSDAY. NOV. 29. 1900.

This is the day for thanksgiving, for
the president has ordained it, and the
governor of this great state has seen no
reason why the people of Washington
should not observe it, and has so
stated. There are many things to give
thanks for ; among them bountiful crops,
a good demand for the same and fair
prices, and growing national Importance
commercially. While giving these
thanks to the Most High we should not
forget to ask for guidance that we may
steer through the breakers OF civil gov
eminent which confront us, and at the
same time bow our heads to the pitiful
outcome Of the wars, floods, and the re-
suits of sickness and casualties which
have brought sorrow to many firesides.
1t is not all who can feast on this day,
but there are none who have not some
reason for feeling Of thankfulness.
